PostPost subject: Alexander Reply with quote

Name: Alexander

Age: Unknown
Age Appearance: Early twenties

Gender: Male
Species/Race: Peace Keeper



Appearance: Short, neatly cut black hair and nearly black eyes are his most distinguishing characteristics. He wears glasses and is fond of suits that might make one think of a butler. He is quite tall, taller then most people really and despite his slender appearance he's got more muscle on him then you'd think.

Most people tend to forget about him the moment they pass him, which is as it should be. He goes through life largely unnoticed, his face permanently set in a neutral expression which makes it hard for people to interact with him; they don't know what he's thinking.

Personality: A scolar by nature, Alexander writes down everything he sees from the moment he wakes up in the morning until he goes to sleep late in the evening. He's very inqusitive and should he encounter something he does not understand, he investigates it until he does. It's not uncommon for him to question people about their motives at random, sometimes even adressing people in the middle of the street. He knows his goal in life is to archive history as good as he can, yet he can not help but feel drawn to people in a way he knows is not normal for his kind.

His mother who taught him all she knew always told him: 'People live in the present, learn from the past and look forward to the future. You must do the opposite. You must continuisly look back to the past and learn to see the outcome of the future, but never, never let yourself live in the present for it will trap you and bind you to it.' And he tries, but still he wishes to learn the ways of the mortal mind. What do people base their decisions on? Why do they go left instead of right?

History: There is not much to say about Alexanders history. Born and raised as the sole heir to a long line of Peace Keepers, he has been groomed to take up his mothers mantle and dedicate his life to recording the happenings of the world. his mother was, as most of their race are wont to be, a quiet, demure woman, never without her notebook. She raised him to be proper, his manners reflecting a good upbringing and the sort of nearly unnoticable, yet ever present style and class of their kind.

Alexander never felt like he had to be a rebel, went through puberty without a hitch and took his duty upon his shoulders without any problems whatsoever, In fact, it always brought him a kind of satisfaction to write down all he saw and lived through.

As such, he has lived the past few centuries doing nothing but observing, quietly watching everything around him happen and taking note of it with uncanny precision. He was left alone by both sides during the war, no one really interested in finding out what would happen if they killed one of his kind and as such he was able to write about both sides of the war without much trouble.

Currently he is seeking for a new 'challenge' in his documenting which has led him to join a group of travellers. After writing much about groups of people, countries at war and disputes between several kind of races, he has taken it upon him to more closely write about individuals. Both to be able to set down a proper image of their current world, as to satisfy his own curiosity about the mortal mind.

Occupation/Job: Peace Keeper, historian, writer.
Interesting Facts/Quirks: He is easily confused by the nuances of thought, the things that make people tick. Also, despite how his mother tried to keep him from gaining that one tick, he tends to chew on something whenever he is observing. A pen, his lower lip, a nail... whichever is available.
Hobby/Hobbies: Watching people, learning, writing.

Like: The same as his hobbies, he likes to watch people, to try and come to understand them and their individual decisions. Also he enjoys observing as Kingdoms rise and fall, only to be confused as to why people will be making the same mistakes as if it were something they were cursed by.
Dislikes: When people observe him, having his notebook taken or when people try to force him into something.

Strength: Throughout his life, there have been several occasions in which he did have to fight for survival. As such, he has aquired the needed skills to overcome an enemy and has become quite a skilled warrior when the need arrives. Rarely displaying these skills, he relies on his ability to create a powerful presence of self in order to ward off any would be attackers.
Weakness/Flaw: His current lack of understanding for one, is a weakness in and of itself. He will never understand what most people do by instinct, as his kind has lived for so long that their only instinct is really to write things down.

Anything else to add: The notebook he carries is the key to his personal archives. In it, is a list of all the other notebooks he has filled with history, chronologically ordered and with their exact location in the main Library. He carries several empty notebooks with him as well, in which he does the actual recording. Whenever one of these is full, it is documented in his main one and whenever he reaches a city, he sends the full ones to the main libabry for further processing.

He also has one notebook in which he records his personal history and another one in which he records any big and world ecompassing events as he sees them.

Roleplay Sample:
