[b]Name:[/b] Alexander Beck Brighton [b]Title:[/b] Mr. Sunshine [b]Age:[/b] 36 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Random Descriptors:[/b] Trust me when I say this, there are no negative aspects of Mr. Sunshne. He's tall, dark, handsome, clever, and one of the nicest men you'll ever meet. Unfortunately, his incredible kindness and an attitude to always roll with whatever happens. Leads some to see him as boring, dull, and sometimes annoying. [b]Physical Description:[/b] Alexander Brighton is in the prime of his life, and blessed with a family lineage that lead to him being the thoroughbread of humans. A square jaw, soft curly hair as brown as chocolate, built like a house too. Alex here's shoulders are more square than Steve Urkel, he's as fit as a fiddle with a bodybuilder's complexion. Alexander's eyes are soft, showing kindness and glittering more brightly than should be possible. His irises are as brown as his hair. To some, his eyelashes are effeminate, but they're long and thick. Constantly looking as though he's put makeup through them. There is a deep cleft in his chin, and his cheeks have perfectly even dimples. There are no blemishes on his skin, anywhere. He stands at six feet and seven inches tall. Alexander's hair is kept neat and tidy, with a maximum length of three inches at any point in time. As well, he is blessed with remarkable facial hair. Not a beard, but a magnificent moustache. Thick and wide, stretching over his lip and connecting to his sideburns to form a Muttonstache. Everywhere else on his body is cleanly shaven, waxed actually, he maintains this smooth skin with daily shaving. Everywhere. [i]Everywhere.[/i] Though very few, Mr. Sunshine has some very large scars on his body. The most notable being the one on his upper left thigh, a perfectly circular burn scar. From a branding iron. And the one running from his waist to his right armpit. This was a slash from a cavalry sabre, the man leaned down from his horse and slashed him from waist to arm with a great cleave. Left him with a very deep and painful scar. There are a number of other smaller scars, though they are all from blade slashed. The smallest measures three inches. [b]Personality Description:[/b] Here's where it gets a bit tricky. Mr. Sunshine is, well, a bright and cheery guy. There is absolutely nothing that will make him sad, as though he lacks the ability to feel any emotion besides happiness. At face value he's a great guy, the heroic sort of course. Donning armor and raising the flag of his cause, and never faltering in his good morals. And that's where the normalcy ends. Mr. Sunshine, as most come to call him, is nor quite your average hero. No. Mr. Sunshine has no concept of personal space. Mr. Sunshine has no concept of how eerie it is to stare at people. Mr. Sunshine has no concept of just how suspicious it is to never stop smiling. [b]Abilities:[/b] Quick Learner: He's not a mage by any stretch of the word, the most magic he can do is grow flowers a bit faster. But if he were to be handed a spell book, or if he were taught by a skilled mage, he could easily learn any spell. As well, he can learn how to use practically any weapon. Put it in his hands and give him about ten minutes, he'll handle it like a natural. [b]Training:[/b] Fisticuffs: Bare knuckles and shirt off, Mr. Sunshine is a skilled pugilist. With skills that would give Muhammad Ali a run for his money. 12 years of fighting bare knuckle, 4 years of professional training. Olympic Wrestling: Don't ask him to wrestle you properly, unless you're cool with fighting a naked guy. Alexander took to wrestling when he hit adulthood, learning how to grapple with even stronger opponents. Tossing them, using his physical strength to heave foes over him that could easily crush him. 7 years hobbyist, 2 years professional training. Western Swordplay: His father was an upper class noble and insisted that Alexander learn how to defend himself with a blade. Of course Alexander obliged and for the majority of his youth and young adulthood he trained with the sword, learning how to combat any and all weapon with a longsword/broadsword/claymore/greatsword/shortsword. 19 years professional training. Continued self improvement to this very day. Fencing: As a hobby he took up fencing, though not as fun as swordplay was to him. He took to it well, besting his training in only a few short years. Though he has not practiced with it since he was a youth he is still trained to use rapiers. 4 years professional training. Peak Conditioning: For his entire life he has exercised, trained, fought, and reached to be the very best possible human being. His body isn't the strongest, fastest, or most durable. But he's as close to each and every one of those as is possible without focusing solely on one of those traits. Able to lift 300lbs, benchpress 360 lbs. Able to run long distance at 16 mph, and sprint at 20 mph. As with all humans he can take a licking and keep on kicking, but he's a remarkable specimen. A wound that would prove fatal to normal men would only slow him down. Aside from his brain or heart being damaged of course. [b]Equipment:[/b] None. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] He's not a genius, he's not superhuman, he's got no precognition and he will attest to the fact that he's just a normal human. Teamwork is not his best trait, despite working with numerous allies in the past. Mr. Sunshine is the sort who runs into combat headlong without thinking of the consequences, though it has worked for him in the past, it might not work for him here. Mr. Sunshine is terrified of wasps, no other flying insects, but wasps and wasps alone. Why? None of your business. But it's a fear so deep seated that he will drop whatever he is doing, turn 180 degrees, and retreat to a safe distance from the Wasps. Until he is certain they are dealt with. [b]History:[/b] Alexander was born into a privileged upper class noble family in a coastal city, his father was family to royalty and his mother was a merchant who had made it big by some strange circumstance. Selling scented soaps. Of course this lead to a childhood full of excess and anything that he wanted. Unlike most noble children however, he didn't want to carry on the legacy of his father and take his riches. Nor did he wish for a life of accomplishing nothing but carrying on an empire of want. Alexander wanted to be a hero. His father knew he was just a boy so he gave Alexander whatever he wanted, allowing him to burn out that passion of his. Unfortunately for his father his passion only grew as he did. Mr. Sunshine was born when Alexander took to wrestling, unfortunately his father didn't approve so he had to go under a false name to practice. Pugilism followed, and his skill only grew. Alex became a well known fighter and was payed quite a lot for his numerous victories in arenas and contests of strength. At the age of 20 his father passed away and left his fortune to him, Alex gave his father's fortune to his mother and left home for adventure and to earn his own fortune by working to help those in need. For the past 16 years he has done his best to fight for what he believes is right. Making numerous friends along the way, losing some and gaining others. Never forgetting those that he has lost, never neglecting those he has gained. When you adventure with Mr. Sunshine, you're going to be in for an interesting time, I can assure you.
