The First Magical Incursion

Uptown Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City

"He actually did it?" Lex almost sounded as if he were in disbelief whispering the words to himself. He gave the sky his attention as he stood from a bench on the boardwalk. Lex had not witnessed Aloysius' actions, but instead interpreted the sudden streak of lightning that flashed across the night sky as a sign that the deed had been done.

Lex's surprise did not sprout over the execution of an enemy, but of the acceptance of this particular execution's consequences. This reminded all that Aloysius' convictions were steel and unchallenged. I guess this means things will ramp up even more now. And that means I'll need to start heading back to HQ…

Killing and death was not the objective, but it was a byproduct the Dark Shadow members accepted. Hell, there were few that gladly welcomed it. To Lex's knowledge, Aloysius had not planned to just kill someone today. His goal was to send a retaliatory message. One that was personal enough to deliver a blow that struck deep and would leave a remindful scar behind. Its effectiveness was made apparent by the powerful expulsion of electricity into the dark sky.

"No! Come on!" Lex shouted as two seagulls boldly swooped in on the french fries he had set down on the bench. Lex gave a quick backhanded swipe at the birds, causing them to flutter away, but it was too late. The fries had spilled all over the bench and the ground, leaving Lex with nothing he would want to eat. He could have been angrier at the winged pests, but he shouldn't have been so distracted and left food out for seagulls to do what seagulls naturally do. "Take 'em then." Lex said walking away as if he truly had the authority to decide whether they could eat the fries or not. He could utterly destroy the birds, but it was unnecessary to him. He imagined that his other colleagues would take the opportunity to simply flex their magical abilities to eviscerate, flay, or twist these harmless creatures into grotesque forms. That just wasn't his thing.

Minutes later, Lex found himself seated in subway train car.

"Stand clear of the closing doors, please!" The speaker announced as it always did in the train car that contained just two parties of people. Lex and the men who entered behind him and scattered themselves around the train car. Lex kept his eyes forward with a neutral expression set upon his face. Was it seriousness? Yes, and he didn't appear to be pleased at the moment either. There were deciding eyes on Lex seeking to fill a void created by greed, pride, and envy. The group of men that occupied the same train car were locked onto Lex. They actually picked him out on the platform because he was alone. Sure, he was a large man, but they had the numbers and this was not their first mugging of a larger target. Lex let out a sigh of frustration that broke the silence after the doors shut. He definitely wasn't pleased at the moment. Lex wasn't pleased that he would have to waste his time flexing his magical ability.

Lex

Lex Lockhart

Name: Alexander "Lex' Lockhart
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Alignment: Dark Shadow
Rank within Organisation: Captain

Birthmark Shape:

Click

Location of Birthmark: Right Shoulder
Magical Ability: Empowerment Aura - The ability to emit an aura that enhances one's physical attributes and objects he is in contact with. The aura also adds a layer of extra protection. The aura is tied to his emotions of willpower and pride. Pride activates it and willpower determines its effectiveness. Under normal circumstances, the aura can increase physical prowess tenfold. Lex is able to push the limits of his aura to increase his physical prowess to twentyfold, but this lasts approximately three minutes and give his power at least an hour long cool down.

The following are maxes/upper limits in one rep maximum lifts and strikes, and top sprint speed.

Lex's Current Physical Feats (without the aura):
Lifting One Rep Maximums-
Chest Press ~ 300 lbs
Squat ~ 400 lbs
Deadlift ~ 400 lbs

Striking Haymaker ~ 250 lbs of force

Top Sprinting Speed ~ 18 mph

Place of Birth: Tampa, Florida
Currently Residing: New York City, New York
Personality: Lex's coolheaded nature is among his most notable qualities. He doesn't really come off as dangerous, intense, or even bad natured, but the man does have a strong sense of pride for his heritage and abilities that make him intimidating. Due to his calm demeanor, his cockiness is identified by his smug attitude. Lex enjoys the thrill of exercising his abilities and enjoys a challenge. His biggest weakness might be his curiosity and his need for entertainment. Lex may throw a plan to the wind if friend or foe suggests something far more interesting or amusing.
History/Bio: Lex was born in Tampa, FL to an actual normal family. No magic, no spirits, and no child leashes. His parents loved him, but he had always gotten along better with his great grandmother. The woman seemed fragile and stricken with blindness in her old age, but easily left the greatest impression. It's from her that he received his gifts. Although some would believe his bloodline illegitimate, Lex viewed it as a chance to show the world the name Alexander Lockhart would not only be known. It would be respected.

When Lex was a child, Lex was identified by his great grandmother as a magic user even before he suddenly developed the ability to produce a thin silver aura around his body. It proved to be a simple power to understand. His great grandmother seemed to be the only one to be proud that a new magic user had been born in the family. She tried to tell him about his gifts and what he was, but only over the course of two years as she passed away due to old age. It was after this that his parents stepped in with the objective of minimizing Lex's use of his powers.

His parents tried medicating, baptism, and even strict rules accompanied by harsh punishment. They made him feel insignificant with the hopes that he would forget his abilities and maybe slip into normalcy, whatever that was.

At the age of 12, Lex discovered the existence of the Guild. With a bit of lying, he convinced his parents that guild could help get rid of his magical abilities. It did help that the guild sympathized with his story and supported his false story. Upon joining the guild, he soaked up a lot of knowledge about his people and their history. This knowledge mixed with his childhood caused the young man to silently share some of the views of the Corpus.

It was only natural for Lex to leave the guild and join Dark Shadow as soon as he knew of its existence. He hadn't known Aloysius personally but knew the guy was held in high regard. If anyone could be a leader of a new group of magic users, it was him. Since then, Lex has used his powers to be a key offensive asset within the group.

@Hedgehawk

Thanks. My bad if I was your problem child for CS submissions 😁

Also if anyone is open to having any past or current relations to my character, I'm up for it. He was in the Guild for some time before joining DS.

The First Magical Incursion

@PureHeroine

No it's fine. I just want to make sure everyone in the RP has an understanding. I should have picked something more simple, so it's my responsibility to make sure people understand it, not just the GMs. I'm almost tempted to just make him an animal shifter or something lol

The First Magical Incursion

@FunnyGuy No, I didn't mean specific numbers, I am aware that those kinds of things can be googled if you want specifics. I just meant a general idea.

@PureHeroine

Can I get an example. Because if not numbers then what? I already plugged things in based on what I believe he can do vs what I can do.

The First Magical Incursion

@FunnyGuy It might be worth it to give an idea of what his normal human physical ability is, just for reference. Otherwise it's still pretty vague on how much it gets enhanced by the aura. If that makes sense. Just a suggestion though.

@PureHeroine

Do you mean how much weight he can lift, how fast he can run? striking power? That would just be a long drawn out list because all of that varies based on intensity. It would be easier to just say he's bit "above the average" in physical fitness as a male. That's stuff that can be googled then you can multiply it by ten. Sure it varies from person to person, but i doubt it would be outrageously far apart. He's athletic, but not an olympic gold medalist or a professional athlete so he's not far from the norm. But I'll just plug in numbers in the CS. He's a bit larger than me so it shouldn't be too hard to get done.

The First Magical Incursion

Maybe just give us a base and how much he can multiply it by. I don't think you need to go into specific numbers.

@Ezmeralda

The base would be just his normal human physical ability. With the aura it increases that by ten times. He has an athletic build, but he's not extraordinary without using his magical ability.

The First Magical Incursion

@Hedgehawk

Tell me what you think. I just made it a 10 times multiplier with an overcharge of 20 if he needs to push his limits in a tight spot. If you need me to plug in actual numbers, I can do that too.
