Full Name: Alex Machinarius Blake

Nicknames/Aliases: the Breaker

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Gift:
[Hands of Fate]
With his left hand, Alex is capable of absorbing things into a pocket dimension. Large objects like walls or people aren't usually pulled in whole but rather pulled in in pieces, shredded by the transition. As a rule of thumb, anything he can carry with one hand can be ported into this pocket dimension. Anything bigger gets shredded. This effect can be used both offensively and defensively, removing projectiles or weapons or making holes in people with a mere touch. The pocket dimension has no gravity or time, so anything placed into it and later removed will not have aged at all. Living usually go unconscious when placed in the pocket dimension.

With his right hand, Alex expels things from the pocket dimension. These objects maintain their momentum relative to Alex at the time they were absorbed, and as such he's able to fire projectiles he's previously blocked. He can also call weapons into his right hand, as long as those weapons were absorbed into the pocket dimension with his left. Large objects that were 'shredded' can be ejected in pieces, blocks of stone from a wall or a spray of gore for people parts.

The combined power of these hands allow for a great amount of versatility and firepower, without sacrificing defensive ability. It's this power that makes Alex such a dangerous opponent.

Loyalty: Mercenary

Description: Tall and generally unshaven. Alex has an athletic body with a number of scars from various combat encounters. His mask contains a voice modulator in order to further aid in hiding his identity. His hair is brown and unkempt.

Personality:
Practical and greedy, Alex fights simply for money. Knowing that he has no mind for business and possessing great skill in battle, he sees mercenary work as the best option available to him. Due to his experience in the field he is often merciless, although he refuses to kill children. Often on missions he keeps collateral to a minimum, but almost any target can be eliminated for the right price. Whether that target is a general, a businessman, or even a small settlement. While few can even hope to get close to him, Alex does possess a strong sense of loyalty and honour. He always honours the contract, he always finishes the job, and he always pays off his debts. And the few friends he has can expect him to lay down his life for theirs.


Skills:
Ambidextrous, for obvious reason. Also a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant and marksman. Quite capable at stealth, and knows a thing or two about hacking electronics.

Weaknesses:
The abilities his hands show do not extend to the upper arm. While his left hand is capable of blocking practically any attack, the rest of his body remains as vulnerable as that of a normal human.


Brief History:
While originally in Erubesco, Alex was quick to discard their norms and values. Born of poor parents he learned to make a living in the slums, relying on his powerful Gift to survive. Before long he was drafted into the army, but he defected when he witnessed how easily his superiors threw away the lives of him and his men. The values of honour and dignity held little appeal to him, aside from his own personal sense of honour. As such he became a free man, earning a living through a variety of odd jobs. Over time he became more well known, gaining the title of 'the Breaker.' Now he's one of the most feared mercenaries in the war, the prices of his service increasing as both sides vie for his assistance.
