Appearance
Alexander Thymes dresses to impress. Back in his old universe he had a public relations manager that dictated his every move and mandated what he wore in his wardrobe. What she tweaked with him wasn't too far off from the pre-politician Alexander. Though this was some time ago Alex hasn't exactly forgotten any of his lessons. One of the primary lessons was 'first impressions'. First impressions are the most important moment of any relationship. What that person first sees of you and forms opinions on is hard to erase from their memory since they will almost always compare your future self to your first impression self. The first impression also has to be impacting enough so that the targeted audience actually has something to remember for comparison later - a positive first impression in any situation is a must.
Why, yes, he does dread the day when he'll run into that nighttime cruise crew. Needless to repeat, Alex is a well groomed gentleman the majority of his waking time. His longer brown hair is kept tidy and combed despite its tendency to get unruly while wet or during humid days. He takes care to groom, primp, shave, and keep the blood off of his pant legs for the sake of those who would ever be getting a rare glimpse of him. Despite exuding such airs of calm and ease, Alexander is actually quite insecure and over analyzes a great deal many things. To compensate for his short height and lack of sexy muscles he wears bulkier clothes like jackets, suits, and coats despite what the weather may be. Also regardless of the weather, and to cover up his hideously long and disproportionate neck, Alexander has grown accustomed to wrapping a scarf around his neck and lower jaw. This scarf is usually a deep crimson in color while his clothes tend to be drab: gray, black, more gray. Adding to his monochrome color scheme, Alexander's eyes have appeared to have lost all life within them being extremely dull nearing the point of being gray as well. |
Personality
Alexander, on a good day, is the picture of perfect ease. He keeps calm when life hands him lemons, and goes on to squeeze those lemons back into life's eyes with a casual line of 'screw lemonade - I don't drink that shit'. There are instances when Alexander may lose his collective cool and calm, but these are generally times of great distress where he has been taken by surprise. These moments are often fleeting and hard to glimpse as Alex is back to his emotionally masked self in the next instant.
It is hard to tell exactly what Alexander is truly feeling about a situation. He doesn't allow people into his life and gives them the cold shoulder and the 'tough guy' routine in order to further distance himself from them. Deep down he is a nice and genial fellow who cares about others' feelings more than his own and can see a broader scale to life. Deeper down he's afraid to reveal those emotions. Not because he's weak, but nice people tend to make friends rather easily.
Alexander doesn't want to make friends.
Alex is a very insecure person when it comes right down to it. He doesn't ever want to fail expectations placed upon him, and he certainly doesn't want people to dislike the 'true' him. It is a generally accepted fact that people don't like arrogant snobs who bully others, so thus Alex acts like a person people don't like so they won't get close. Enter into ring one, the superb masochist.

History
Alexander's history is a long, tumultuous, and largely boring one. It all started when he was a stable hand and his master went out hunting for a wolf. The master ended up getting killed by the wolf, which was in fact. . .just an ordinary wolf. With a pack to support it. While the hounds fought Alex ran and escaped only to be caught by a far worse predator - a vampire. We'll now be glossing over the angst filled details to get to more angst.
At some point in time Alexander was bound to the task of destroying the world with a team of non-humans also bound to their 'duty' by the same mad man named Evan (for short). They succeeded in making a mess of things before the main weapon, Evan's personal creation, disappeared thus allowing for a chance for the others to also disappear. Banding together with surviving vampires, Alex helped rebuild one of the last remaining nations which later stood as a shining goal and example for the rest of the world. To cut this happy story short, the good guys ended up winning that battle, but they had to rebuild.
Alexander, being one of the oldest remaining vampires, was of course tasked with such a duty. So he became a role model, a reluctant leader, and a politician. A New World Order politician. A politician that was more resembling a leech than most human politicians.
Everything was going well until Alex met a woman. A beautiful. Enchanting. Alluring woman. And so he fell in love, and in time she did with him as well. These were the best years of Alexander's long lived life and of course they were doomed to be ruined. It must be said that vampires are not true immortals in this realm, and do indeed age albeit slowly. Alexander, after having helped exterminate his kind in mass numbers, had become one of the oldest vampires still living. This, in a sense, made him some sort of prince or deity which then attracted the attentions of the 'first' vampire, a cursed demon. We'll call him Tom.
It was discovered that the woman, named Eve, was suffering from a disease that had been created back during the Suffering Times. It was like a cancer, destroying the body's functions and reducing the brilliant human mind to nothing but a sheet beast. Alexander of course sought to heal her and the demon seized the opportunity. Tom offered Alexander a trade - the ability to save the one he loved and all the power in the world for nothing in return. Alex, being the love sick dim witted puppy he was at the time, accepted.
Him and Tom also happened to be long standing friends. Destroying the world brings people together, apparently.
This power was not a cure for Eve, however, and she died a terrible death at Alexander's hands. Free from this cursed power, the demon was finally allowed to die. Alex, having inherited this power, was not. It is not entirely known how Alex came to be on Planet after that incident. He never says, never expounds upon his past, and certainly isn't planning on breaking his silence anytime soon.
On Planet Alexander has command of the night, a demi-god in certain respects. He can walk in the sun's light now, can not die, but is still able to be badly harmed. He does still gain sustenance from drinking blood, though he is unsure if that is still 'required' of him. He can sleep for long periods of time, as if in hibernation. Since he inherited the demon's powers silver and certain elements have hurt Alex, burning his skin upon contact.
Alexander has been on Planet for some amount of time, at one time terrorizing the town's women simply because he could. Most of the time he slept, however, missing a great deal of excitement and fun. Until now Alex had been living with his single companion - a Chavi named Eve - on a steamboat that Alex had built from scratch. This was destroyed in one night by a roving band of adolescent wyverns and their insane mother. Since then he has been roaming, until after some cajoling Eve convinced him to return to Isnit. Alexander now has plans to start up an eternal business to help generate some revenue. . .though the town of Isnit. . .seems rather empty of late.
