THE FINER DETAILS
D E S C R I P T I O N
Xander has seen empires rise and fall as well as the fashions and fads that filled them. After the first few hundred years, he stopped being concerned with clothing beyond what was socially acceptable. His preferences speak to his ancient origin, he prefers loose-fitting shirts with short sleeves that mimic the feel of a tunic and allow access to his bone weapons. If he had to manage he wears loose breeches and sandals everything in deep indigos or reds.

Under the clothes, he is nothing but lean and practiced muscle with skin untouched by scars or imperfection. He has joked that Michelangelo's David was modeled after him but unlike the statue, he suffers no hidden imperfections. He seldom goes anywhere without a knife despite his ability to form them at will.


P E R S O N A L I T Y
Personality-wise he is detached. Due to the complicated nature of his life, he only dons an identity for a decade before moving on. This prevents him from forming lasting attachments and the strange mannerisms of the people around him make it hard to relate to them. He considers himself apart from humanity, a sort of demi-god of Ares meant to wander the earth offering sacrifice to him. Only while fighting a worthy opponent does he come alive, but he hasn't had one of those in centuries.

Blades of the Gods: Once the blades are extracted from his body they harden into some unknown metal. That can cut through anything of this earth and beyond. Yet they are as fluid in movement as water. There is no known substance harder.

Spontaneous Regeneration: Due to Xander's unusual power he can rapidly regenerating damaged cells in his body. In other words, he recreates lost or damaged tissues, organs, and limbs. He can regrow missing limbs, almost as fast as he loses them. He is constantly in very good physical shape as his body is constantly reverting to a healthy state, granting him nigh-inexhaustible stamina and vitality.

He can regenerate not just his cellular tissues, but also his DNA, undoing genetic mutations and breakdown, as well as maintaining his youth by extending telomeres. This also gives him immunity to diseases and infections, undoing any unwanted symptoms, as well as provide a form of self-sustenance, foregoing the needs for oxygen and food intake. the ability has caused his body to cease aging as the cells are regenerating and dying in equilibrium, granting a form of immortality.

Danger Intuition: Can see into the immediate future, he has no direct control over the power and is only triggered when there is an immediate danger.

Rapid analysis: Xander subconsciously notices, processes, and understands the details of any stimulus, no matter how small, as well as perceives and understands a large number of cause and effect relations. Thus deducing the path leading to any effects, allowing him to intuitively plan, analyze, and take action.

Superhuman Dexterity: Xander possesses perfect muscle control,  thus can perform any physical activity without difficulty. He can perform any dexterous task with no practice beforehand rapidly and flawlessly. He can copy any movement/action after seeing it performed once. Working it into his mastery of swordplay.

Enhanced Speed: Xander can move much faster than most men but it is limited to his fighting ability. Where you would strike him once he would, in fact, hit you four times.



H I S T O R Y

Xander was born in the year 46 BC under the reign of Julius Caesar. He was the ninth born child out of ten, and one of only four to survive into adulthood.  His mother died giving birth to child number ten, a sister who only survived her by a few days. He grew up on the streets of Rome, he was little more than a street rat. Trying to survive the day to day life growing up. His father was a drunk who could never hold a job and when he did find work it did not last more than a few weeks due to his drinking. He and his eight siblings lived in a run-down, drafty one-room hut.

 Barefoot and in tattered clothes, he and his surviving siblings took to begging on the streets and eventually learned to pick-pocket.  One by one his weaker siblings died off, ran away, or were taken, and his eldest brother was conscripted until only he and two of his sisters were left.  His two sisters became prostitutes and helped support him and his father.  All the while his father took their money and drank it away until he finally drank himself into oblivion. It was a hellish existence and he hated being constantly hungry, filthy, and looked down upon.  He vowed to find a better life, no matter what it took, no matter what he had to do, he would find a way to make enough money that he would never go hungry or have to be dirty again.

He was 15 when his life took a drastic turn of events. He was being attacked by some other kids from the upper class of society. When he started to see their attacks in his head before they even threw them. But it threw him off guard enough that one of the boys got a hit in hard enough to break his arm. It was a gruesome sight as his bone was sticking out of his skin. Clutching his wound Xander stood there transfixed as the bone started to slide out of his at\rm into his hand. Forming a jagged sword that he clutched till his knuckles turned white. The boys ran away from him calling him a devil.
