Alanator

[alan8or]

Name: Alanator
Nickname(optional): Alan

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Position: Neutral, tending a bit toward evil.

Powers: A bit of sword magic (channeling magic through his sword. For example, his sword can release a small fireball with some focus and charging). His sword magic allows him to summon his sword, not in Keyblade fashion, but in a Jedi Force Pull kind of action (the sword zooms to his hand through the air). Magically enhanced armor (stronger and lighter than it looks, can grow spikes when focused on, see pic).

Weapon: His sword, The Soul Brand. This sword has some magical powers accessible only by its true owner, Alanator. Other than that, it is just a very good sword.

Picture(optional):
I realize it's kind of poor quality, but that's what I've got.

Appearance: Alanator stands about 6' 3" tall, wears a suit of ruby red armor and a cloak that matches on the outside, but is dark blue on the inside. He always has his sword with him, either in its scabbard on his side or in his hand. He has straight black hair reaching to his chin, more or less, and is clean-shaven. His eyes are pale blue, contrasting with the rest of his attire. His face is often set in a serious grimace, smiling little.

Alternate Forms:
Halloween Town: In Halloween Town, his armor become a deeper blood red and drips with blood, his face becomes paler, and his eyes turn bright red.

Personality: Like the grimace on his face implies, Alanator is a serious person. He takes combat very seriously, and is driven to prove himself superior in this respect. His drive for superiority is easily mistaken for a lust for power, making him seem evil to some. He is a loner, knowing any emotional attachment would become a weakness. He often asks for fights, arrogantly believing he can defeat anyone, a belief enforced by the fact that he usually can (or at least on his world he could). He does not, however, rashly go into fights. He will instead study his opponent and adjust his tactics accordingly. What makes him unusual is not his strength, but his tactical prowess. That, and his slightly magical equipment. He is loyal to his allies in a fight, but may abandon them afterward, and possibly challenge one of them to a fight immediately afterward.

History/Background: Starting from an early age, Alanator studied the art of combat. He began to master powerful techniques under his teacher, but he was not satisfied with only techniques. He began to seek better armor and weapons, until his discovered the existence of the Soul Brand. From that day, he devoted himself to attaining that weapon and its magical powers. In his travels in his world, he came across the armor he currently wears, armor that is not only stronger than usual, but deceptively light and able to grow short spikes with some concentration (approximately 3" long; the picture is disproportional). He wore this armor in his travels, and to this date it has served him well. He eventually bested the previous owner of the Soul Brand in fair combat, making him the rightful owner of the legendary sword. He began to experiment with his new weapon, and quickly discovered some of the sword's powers. Not long after he discovered the existence of the other worlds, and managed to use his sword to transport himself from world to world. He now travels the world, looking for worthy opponents for combat. As such, he has a tendency to frequent Olympus Coliseum, but will travel elsewhere for a decent challenge.

Possessions:

• The Soul Brand
  
• Magic armor
  
• A munny pouch containing 500 munny

Training:
Halloween Town.
Alanator.
Alanator was in the woods outside of Halloween Town training his sword powers. He had hoped to attract the attention of other people, but no such luck. Before he left, he received a note informing him it was time for his battle.
(Finished before it was started.)

Hades' Cup:
The Underdrome.
Alanator, Xaldin, Hades.
Alanator entered the Hades' Cup, as cocky as ever. His opponent in his first round was Xaldin, the Whirlwind Lancer. Alanator quickly learned that Xaldin could control the wind, a fact which the lancer used to his advantage. After a short battle, Xaldin trapped Alanator in a ball of air, put him in the center of a whirlwind, and burnt him to a crisp with the fireballs surrounding the field. Alanator never really had a chance.
(Finished.)

Inn Work is Terribly Boring...:
Traverse Town, Third District.
Alanator, Kamatachi, Zach, Maylin, Elve.
Fresh from his defeat at the hands of Xaldin, and not one lick happy about it, Alanator went to the Third District of Traverse Town. There he happened to see Kamatachi appear after his world had been destroyed, and heard the weasel talk. He defeated the heartless that the weasel, in his weakened state, had run from, and then followed the creature to the nearby inn. Inside the inn he met Elve and Maylin as he tried to get a room. Not wanting to give away his identity just yet, he lied about his name, calling himself Nella. Before he could even get a room, the inn was attacked by heartless. The attack caused Maylin to turn into her werewolf form. The four of them fought bravely, but they were all there to get a spot to rest for the night, so they were all worn down. Kamatachi was captured by the heartless. Zach walked into the inn just as they were getting ready to leave, and Alanator provided a portal for the four of them to escape to Radiant Garden.
(Finished.)

A Place To Rest:
Radiant Garden, the city.
Alanator, Zach, Maylin, Elve.
The four of them arrived in Radiant Garden, tired and sore from their defeat. They walked around until they found an inn, and there they stopped for the night. In the morning they met over breakfast to plan the retaking of the inn. Zach was full of questions, Elve was full of bad memories, Maylin was full of depression, and Alanator was full of annoyance. It was revealed that Maylin was also a keybearer, and that Elve had issues with keybearers, as she left shortly thereafter. Elve thought about things for a bit and returned, while Alanator suggested two potential courses of action: visit the moogles or visit the wizard. The group decided to visit the moogle shop nearby, but first they shared their histories with the group.
(In progress.)

Worries of a Demigod
Olympus Coliseum, shrine room.
Alanator, Corn, Lily, Kamatachi, Hercules.
Shortly after Hercules left the shrine room, Alanator appeared and demanded that Corn follow him. Kamatachi showed up behind him. When Corn refused, Alanator sealed the room. Corn used his spray paint can to blow out the wall and tried to escape. As Kamatachi slowed the two down, Alanator teleported to right outside of the room to block them once again. Having just admitted his plot, Hercules came seemingly out of nowhere and slugged him in the back of the head. As Hercules worked to deal with Kamatachi, Alanator stayed down, pretending to be out cold while planning his next move.
(Oh yeah. It's on.)
