[Arcanum]

This is what I have so far. I'll finish it later tonight.

Edit -- Alright finished it up.

-----------------

Name: Alexander Vorenthall
Age: 28
Race: Human

Weapons: (All of his weapons are stored in his pocket dimensions [see ability section])
Two katanas that have been hardened through magical means. A steel longsword. Two steel daggers. About fifty throwing knives. Two semi-automatic pistols.

Abilities:
Pocket Dimensions/Dimensional Rifts: Alex has several pocket dimensions at his disposal wich he uses to carry weapons, items, rations, and other such things. He can access these dimensions by creating rifts in close proximity to his hands (the farthest distance he can create a rift is about three feet). When he removes an item from his pocket dimensions, all he has to do is concentrate on the item he wants and it will emerge from the rift he creates.

Eagle Tattoo: Alex has a tattoo of an eagle on his back that was made from magically imbued ink. The tattoo increases his agility, speed, and reaction times to a point where it's like he was training from birth.

Ambidextrous: Not so much an ability as it is a remarkable skill. Alex is equally skilled with both his right and left arms.

Battlefield Specialization: Alex fights using his superior speed and reflexes to get the upper hand on his opponent. While he might not be the strongest fighter he makes up for it by attacking any oppening he can see with lightning speed. He also uses his pocket dimensions to switch weapons on the fly, forcing his opponent to stay on their toes. When forced to go on the defensive, Alex prefers to dodge and counter-attack physical blows. If he's under attack from a distance, he can open up rifts to "catch" projectiles launched at him, but this requires extremly precise timing.

Appearance: Alex is tall and thin, but with well defined muscles. His dark hair is always in a buzz cut, and his eyes are a light green. He also has a tattoo on his upper back of an eagle. The eagle's head and body follow the length of his spine, with the wings spread out and stretching towards his shoulders. During the assassination he was wearing only underwear, but normally he prefers loose clothing that offers lots of mobility.

Personality: Alex is, well to be blunt, a cocky jerk. He thinks he's the best damned thing to walk this world and the fact that he saved it once before only swelled his ego more. However, if you can put up with him for the time you're forced to spend together, you will find yourself a kind of decent friend.

Backstory:
Alex was born into a lower-nobility family that resided in a decent sized industrial town. The Vorenthalls ran the town's lumber industry and had many allies and enemies in various positions of power. The important thing is that none of that matters any more because Alex ran away at the age of six when he accidently discovered his ability and made his mother's favorite (and most expensive) vase disappear. Not wanting to suffer the consequences, he fled to a much smaller town that he had never heard of before, and only found it by chance.

After wandering around this new town for two days, Alex met a man who offered him a place to stay. For ten years Alex worked with this man as a blacksmith, earning his keep and practicing how to wield the weapons he made. Then at the age of sixteen, he decided it would be best to head out into the world and learn knew things. What he didn't tell his adoptive father was that he wanted to find someone who could help him master his ability, since he was still having trouble controlling it.

After four years of travelling from city to city and preforming odd jobs for whoever needed it, Alex stumbled across an old mage who recognized his talent. The mage agreed to help Alex, on the condition that he would let the mage test a new spell on him. Alex agreed and the mage fused the magical ink to Alex's back in the shape of an eagle ready to strike. After taking a few weeks to recover and get used to his new speed and reflexes, Alex began training under the mage. This continued for five years until Alex managed to master his ability, at which point the mage gave Alex two katanas that he promised would never break. Alex accepted the gift and set out into the world to refine his skills.

Two years after that, Alex encountered something that threatened to destroy the world. At first he made nothing of it, just an old man rambling about nonsensical theories. He thought he could make some quick cash and then leave the old man to die, but it ended quite differently. It turned out that the old man's ramblings about a "living fire that would purge the world" was something that he was actually trying to create. When he found out about this, Alex tried to put a stop to the scientist's plans but he was too late. The Living Flame was born and destroyed the old scientist and his entire village before Alex risked his life to trap the Flame in one of his pocket dimensions. Needless to say he doesn't use that one anymore.

After that Alex tried to settle down, and all was going well for about a year. That is until a female assassin tried to murder him in his sleep. After narrowly avoiding a fatal stab and putting a bullet in her arm, the assassin had fled, leaving Alex confused, pissed off, and slightly aroused. And now it's time he found some answers.
