Name: Alexander Black. Usually goes by Alex, or his stage name, Ysran Stormreach. 

Age: 25

Descrption: Standing at 5'11 and 153 pounds, Alex has an overall thin frame, increasing his Dexterity and overall finesse. His regular clothing consists of whatever fits. As of now, he wears a plain blue T-shirt with cargo pants. Whatever fits man. Whatever fits. His "Stage Outfit" consists of a bright blue Collared vest with a brown undershirt, as well as some seriously flamboyant sparkly black pants. The sparkles are starting to come off though.

Skills-
Performer: Able to change into various Persona and disguises, but likes his own more than others.

Magician: Sleight-of-hand, misdirection, escape artistry and more are all part of a Magician's act. 

Fighting skill: Prefering to stay out of melee range, Alex has learned to throw just about anything effectively. He's even managed to pull off the card slicing through a banana trick.

General personality: Pretty relaxed, and prefers flight over fight. His Persona personality is flamboyant, energetic, and totally insane. Like, missing a few marbles insane. Best I could compare it to would be someone like [url=https://youtu.be/wM3d266_QWw]Goro Majima[/url] from the Yakuza games.

History: Alex grew up loving magic. His father, Gordon, wasn't a professional magician, but it was one of his favorite hobbies. Alex would pick up magic at an early age, and take it with him, even to to his day. Participating it various talent shows, and seeing shows with his father, it became quite the major part of his life. 

Then, of course, the apocalypse happened, or something. Alex would survive this, but his parents weren't so lucky. Alex then spent his years with a small group of survivors that went from place to place trying to... well, survive. Alex would put his skills to the test over these years, attempting to perfect them. He'd "infiltrate" other camps, and they'd watch as rations, ammo, and other various supplies seeming vanished. And when they went to confront Alex, he'd be long gone.

During one of these so called "infiltrations" in the later years, Alex would find a hella gay costume, consisting of a bright blue vest, brown undershirt, and sparkly black pants. Having clearly lost his mind, Alex would put on a flamboyant Persona of sorts, and call himself Ysran Stormreach, a traveling Magician in this time of strife.

Seeming to work out almost [i]Too[/i] well, Alex kept the Costume around, and would "Infiltrate" as said Persona.

Unfortunately, Alex's debauchery would come to a screeching halt, as one day, Alex returned to camp to find everyone dead, and all their supplies stolen. It would've been funny, had everyone not been dead, and several people he'd pissed off over the past few months weren't there.

Then there was the running. So much running. Eventually, he would make it to some sort of Town, which Alex would eventually learn was named Locks. Going into hiding, things seemed to go... Pretty well. That is, until a swarm of people showed up, and they started taking [i]everything[/i]. Glass from windows, Plumbing, and even Wiring. Deciding that hiding was a good idea, he did just that. Then even [i]more[/i] people showed up. A battle broke out, and the new guys were winning pretty handily. Then, as if God himself was playing some sort of trick on him, an Army of what looked like mounted Archers moved in to attack. Yet these guys moved with Tact, and precision, as if they were trained. Perhaps they were some scrap of military?

They won handily, and a sea of corpses laid around him. Thinking it was all over, he decided to try and sneak away. Unfortunately, it wasn't over. Unknown to him, this "Army" wasn't quite done. He was soon discovered, and taken into custody. Luckily, He was released quite early, able to convince them that he was just an innocent bystander. He was given an offer to join their ranks. He'd need to become a trooper for three years, before becoming a full-fledged member. Alex decided to take the offer, probably needing the protection and training.

Alex didn't make a very good impression on his instructors. His reflexes td him to run and live, not fight and die. Yet he soon was introduced to a "Mr. Raintree", where he was trained in refining his infiltration and stealth. He would soon meet a woman named Summer, who was a performer as well. She seemed a bit... off. But she would be perfect for Ysran. Every magician needs an assistant, right? She also had 8 trained ravens with her. Not exactly doves, but a crazed magician and his partner probably wouldn't go after something so mundane anyways.

Going to count this as both Ysran [i]and[/i] Alex
