[hider=The Boy in Gold] [hr] [hr] [center][h1]Alexander Ford[/h1][/center] [hr] [center][h2]Character appearance[/h2] [url]https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/theevilliouschronicles/images/6/6c/LittleAlexiel.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200922160117[/url][/center] [color=fdc68a]Basic character appearance description: A young Caucasian male full of youth, and vigor. He shows no signs of any horrifying trauma, or long lasting scars on his body. Some would describe him as handsome though Alexander himself is not one to boast of his looks. He typically dresses in whatever uniform is required of him when asked of him, and in more public settings is more often than not dressed in a dress shirt, or t-shirt with a jacket, and comfortable pants or shorts depending on the weather. [/color] [color=fdc68a]Defining features: His bright blonde hair, and green eyes stand out in contrast to how pale his skin is.[/color] [color=fdc68a]Gender: Male[/color] [color=fdc68a]Age: 17[/color] [color=fdc68a]Jujutsu High Uniform Description: Alexander's family color is golden so to match that he has requested a hood for use in rain, and colder weather, and that his underclothes by yellowish gold.[/color] [hr] [color=fdc68a]Curse Technique Name: Golden Rule[/color] [color=fdc68a]Curse Technique Type: Innate[/color] [color=fdc68a]Curse Technique Description: A golden sheen that surrounds the object, or person in question. It glows brightly, and acts like an aura surrounding whatever the user desires.[/color] [color=fdc68a]Curse Technique Abilities: The ability of Golden Rule is very versatile as it is simple, and malleable technique. What it lacks in grand scale it makes up for in deadly efficiency. It works by covering the intended object, or person in its golden sheen from there it strengthens the object making cursed weapons, and objects better at what they do. When it covers a sword for example it would allow it to pierce, or slice with great ease. If covering a piece of metal it would strengthen its durability by a great amount. Golden Rule makes common items like cotton and makes it able to take blows from things like knives, and other sharper objects than expected. Golden Rule takes into account what the user wants of the object in question so if Alexander wants to use it to make a broken piece of wood sharper in order to make it easier to stab a person he could or strengthen it to take blows. He can not do both at the same time however. Golden Rule takes an aspect and amplifies it to a greater extent. The limits of Golden Rule extend to Alexander's own mastery of the technique now as an untrained novice he isn't capable of much. Theoretically should he live he could use Golden Rule on multiple objects, or strengthen different aspects of them. But for the moment he is only able to enhance his own physical self, a singular object in question, and or use it to stick himself to objects to allow him to climb, or walk across surfaces he otherwise couldn't. The effects of Golden Rule can currently only be activated by touch.[/color] [color=fdc68a]Specialty: Offensive - Alexander specializes in manipulating his own body, and objects in order to quickly, and effectively take on an enemy. Either be strengthening his own body to make him faster, hear better, or hit harder or to increase a weapon's ability to end his enemy quicker. Theoretically he could act as a support but it would leave him wanting of his ability. He can be an all purpose frontline fighter able to enhance objects of range, or close range variety to take down an enemy.[/color] [color=fdc68a]Drawbacks: The draw back of Golden Rule is despite its all encompassing nature it is very lacking in the flashy department. He is not one to make things explode into giant clouds of dust, or to cause electricity to surge all around a person. As such the direct impact of Golden Rule is directly dependent on the things surrounding him within hand range, and its current lack of external offensive abilities (the ability to attack others on its own with manipulating something else). Alexander's teacher theorizes it could overcome this in the future by using it as a sort of range attack but that has yet to manifest itself meaningly. Likewise it is directly dependent on Alexander's own control and power level something of significant power in comparison could in theory completely overwhelm or defend itself properly despite the strengthening effects of Golden Rule making it all but useless. [/color] [hr] [color=fdc68a]Personality Description: A polite, and well intentioned young man Alexander was raised in a rather comfortable setting and it reflects in how he treats others. He is pragmatic, and ever willing to do what he can to help as long as it doesn't end up hurting him severely. He is not overtly brave but willing to fight in order to protect the people he cares about. If an enemy sufficiently is dangerous enough to prove itself head and shoulders above him he is willing to cut his chances and run if he views it as the best chance to survive. In a more mundane setting he is bluntly honest about how he feels and can be quite competitive. He is very willing to make friends with others and does his best to help them whenever he can. That being said Alexander is not an idiot and tends to be vindictive to those who betray his trust, or try to fool him outright without good reason. He can hold a grudge against people for petty reasons including insulting him on a personal individual level.[/color] [color=fdc68a]Backstory: A young man of American origins Alexander Ford was born in New Hampshire but was raised in New Orleans his parents were of no notable note in the Jujutsu world, and in fact know little to nothing of the concept. His father was a businessman, and his mother a manager for a sports team. His family was fairly more wealthy than the average individual but Alex's connection to the world of Jujutsu leans into his god father. A man he called Uncle Yo, Yoji Sawamura was his full name, a man around his father's age who had supposedly saved his life from a dangerous gas explosion when they were younger. In reality it was a curse event and Yoji had chosen to leave out those bits due to Alex father's lack of experience in In return sparking a life long friendship. Yoji had moved to America in order to assist with the rather large amount of spiritual events happening in the land of Voodoo. More and more complex events had led the man once lauded as 'The Ogre of Osaka' to settled down there to keep things from getting out of hand. Yoji, who had helped raised the boy, didn't expect much from his best friend's son. Alex for the most part had been raised in relative safety in a large house in a gated community for most of his life hadn't the need to think of the realm of magic, or cursed monsters brought about by negative emotions. It was a day of celebration when Alexander had first experienced Jujutsu openly by Yoji. Mardi Gras had happened and the city ablaze with the big party as usual. Yoji had decided to take Alexander with him for a day out not out of the usual fair when they suddenly came across a large cursed energy spike in the area. Yoji moved to investigate moving Alexander to a safe area but he followed after his god father regardless. Yoji ended up fighting a small time monster not taking it too seriously he tried have fun play fighting with the thing before Alex showed up and threw him off his rhythm. Yoji took a big hit, and was dazed badly the monster tried to pounce out at him, and Alexander attacked the creature with a broken lead pipe from nearby. Instinctively he tried to hit the thing as hard as he could accidentally tapping into his own cursed energy in a panic and in doing some killed the monster outright with a big blow to the back of its head. Impressed Yoji explained things once he got help from a hospital. This happened when Alexander was 15, and since then had done some minor training with Yoji before the elder jujutsu specialist decided to cart the young man off to Japan. It was hard to convince his father and mother to let him leave specially since he was so close to graduating but Alexander none the less pushed for it wanting to explore what this new power meant for him. With a few strings with Principle Yaga to get him accepted into the school.[/color] [color=fdc68a]Skills: Fencing, Rock Climbing, basic First Aid, and basic Gōjū-ryū[/color] [color=fdc68a]Strengths: Physically fit, well educated, Great amount of Stamina, and a relatively solid amount of mental fortitude[/color] [color=fdc68a]Weaknesses: Gets anxious when he is not in control of a situation, has a temper that flares up when he's put down by another, can be moody when he's not given fair credit for something he helped achieve, he is more aggressive in combat than a good number of japanese individual preferring action to patience.[/color] [color=fdc68a]Equipment: Typically Alexander prefers to have a sword of some sort bein it a traditional longsword, or a more Japanese centric katana, or Nodachi.
