PERSONALITY:
→ Alex lives to protect those close to him. As far as he knows that is what he was born to do. He is stubborn and dosnt except help unless he can pay them back. He prefers to have no debts and complains if he has one outstanding debt. He thinks about joining the the military to protect on a larger scale. He had a sword crafted for this occasion if he was serious. His adoptive father crafted it for him. This sword is what he considers his true motive. He often times says “A spark neglected makes a mighty fire.”

His fighting style ranges in many ways. When he fights hand to hand he often uses his own style. It’s a defensive style based off using the enemy to your advantage. This style is used the most and takes little energy and maximizes the efficiency of his part of the fight. While using his wakizashi he tends to take it slow. He uses precise movements to take down his opponent. Each movement is calculated to cause the most damage.

Outside of battle he is a rather lazy person. He acts as if everything can wait and prefers to let it wait. He casts anything he has to get done till later. He can often be found taking a nap on a nearby building. he is rather easy to get angry and does not take to kindly to insults. He likes to smoke a cigarette or two and jokes around a bit more while smoking. His attitude towards the world is best expressed in a simple quote. “I Ain’t lazy I just don’t have a set goal at the moment.” He takes what is right and will always due what it takes to get justice. He has one dream and that is to make his brother pay for killing their parents. When he is active you can often see him reading flirting with a girl or trying to get out of working.

With Women- He gives women his utmost respect seeing as he feels they deserve it and it was how he believed he would have been taught if his parents hadn’t died. He also tends to let them take control until they piss him off then there is no holding back. He fights women blind most of the time this way he dosent have to see them as he attacks or is about to kill them otherwise he might succumb and fail at the mission at hand.

→ Sleep, Food, Fire, Women his age, Diversity

HATE:
→ Deception, Trash, Evil, Being Controlled, Cats, and Missing a Nap

...........................................................................

HISTORY:
→ Alex was a normal child growing up. He had loving parents and civil siblings. He thought his life was perfect. On his birthday his parents took him out with his older brother. His older brother got into an argument with his parents. The argument seemed to be about the family’s future. Though the Corde family was known as haters of rebellion Alex’s older brother wanted to go explore the other countries with the family’s Heirloom. When his father said that if he left the country without a proper purpose he would be disowned he shrugged it off with a curse under his breath. That is when his father who knew politics reminded him of a few laws. These laws were infuriating his brother and as his father tried to restrain him. As the argument escalated further his brother got up and swore revenge. As his brother stormed out he shrugged it off and ate his food. Life moved on as his brother disappeared with the last remnants of him. As a few months passed he began to hear rumors that his brother was returning. And these rumors didn't remind him of the brother he had known two years ago. This man they talked about was a criminal. He used his proficiency in alchemy to completely kill those who opposed him. This man they talked about in such high reference wasn't human he was a monster. He slaughtered innocent people.

As his brother came to visit them he wore a while glove and a long sleeve shirt. He than began to explain to them what he had done after He left. He explained that he joined the military and was stationed at fort Briggs. Hearing this he shuddered and began to listen more intently. He than explained how he had lost an arm during a Drachman attack As he began to explain this to them Alex couldn't help but feel proud of his brother but felt like he was withholding something. As He finished explaining he pulled at his sleeve and left for his room. As he left Alex saw a bulge in his jacket. As he went to bed he saw his parents go to their room only to be confronted by enraged brother of his. He than saw him take out the object that was bulging in his pocket.. It was a metallic cube. The cube was set on the ground and then his brother clapped his hands together and his metal arms plate extended and pierced his father's heart. He than pulled the bloodied arm out and stabbed his own mother with the blade. He then looked down and said "The truth is I was hired to kill you father. And I was never in the military. I am just happy my revenge coincided with my job now die slow and burn. Taking out a cigarette and lighting it he would than walk out as he poured gasoline on the floor. exiting the door he flicked his cigarette and lit the gasoline.

Alex looked as he saw the flames engulf his parents body. As the authorities came his brother was long gone and he had escaped the flames using a flimsy fire escape. he than began to wander the streets of Amestris for eight years before entering the military boot camp. Upon entering the camp he learned of the flame alchemist and learned his martial arts style. As he graduated on his 18th birthday he began to take interest in becoming a higher up but figured he would wait till he is able to fight with his alchemy at a better standing.

Alex has learned to do many things over these past few months after exiting the Amestris Academy of the Millitary Arts. He was placed in central command to reconstruction. He has met many people in his travels including the lovely Alicia Brimhorn and his commanding officer Jay Furor. He has also killed his brother to save his family's reputation as law abiding people. He has made many realizations. He has realized that he never needed to do what he does to be happy he does not need to drink to quell his problems. he has realized that just making a smile appear on a child or adults face is what he wanted to do. He now looks forward to his next dance with Alicia and another Fight with Jay. He knows his alchemy has advanced in some way and intends to advance it further and after reading some texts he learned sound alchemy was possible and began to tinker around with it.

Alex has begun to experiment with many things as he became a state alchemist. The honorary rank of major was a nice addition. He is now understanding certain things about alchemy. He wants to learn more and is looking into the philosophers stone and human transmutation. He has also began to develop his sound alchemy further. He has figured out how to make it work in a systematical way. He can now choose which effect to use but a few effects came with it as well. The power of his flame alchemy has also increased. It is now a deep shade of blue. It is burning hotter and is on the peak of becoming white. He just needs to further his research on his sound and a new alchemy he is working on. He has taken up free shows for charity and does them in random cities where his travels take him. He has so far performed in Creta a small town in Esparia and a few other places. He is also planning a trip to Rounen Ruins.

...........................................................................

TRIVIA:
→ He Speaks Amestrian, Aerugese, Cretan. He dabbles in and Ishvallan.

He now speaks Xingese and is well versed in Ishvallan.

He has learned these languages and is on an intermediate level with them. Gele

He speaks so many languages due to the whole Millitary school background where he was being trained for special operations which required at least two other languages. He decided if he was gonna spend a while in there might as well learn a good amount of languages so he can communicate with as many people as possible. He has a lot of trouble with languages and tends to speak them with a accent or in a remedial way. Due to a lack of use he no longer speaks Xingese and creig he has become to rusty so to say.

REVISE

1. lyric or quote at the top.
2. Your username has to be your characters name. Just change it in your profile.
3. Description: I want to know more about what HE looks like rather than his Wakazashi (Save that for your custom weapons app)
4. History: "This man they talked about was a criminal. He used his proficiency in alchemy to completely kill those who opposed him." -- He would not be allowed at Fort Briggs with an attitude like that or with a record as such. Hahahah nice twist!!! But really a simple argument made his brother feel nothing when killing his father?
5. Trivia: color your languages! like this: Amestrian
6. Creator's comments! fill it out
7. So he's not in the military right?

Awesome character!! ^_^ You'll do well here.

• Must add a 150 word paragraph to his History section. Of course in a different color like you've already done in other places on his app.
  
• For his sound-punch, specify that the speakers must be pointed away from him otherwise he would also get hit by the attack.
  
• You should change the color for Drachman from cyan since you already use it for Ishvallan.

Hypnotize the Soul - Manipulating the frequency he can manipulate his opponent through hypnosis. This hypnosis is able to affect massive crowds. Though it can be canceled by a shock to the person or by not hearing it. Sound canceling headphones or ear plugs work well against it. Base noise for it is the mosquito ringtone. It is also able to produce sensation through this hypnosis to the body by causing the brain to think it feels a sensation like a burning sensation to a numb sensation. These two are interchangeable but as of this level they are randomized to an extent and cannot be predicted. The sound is more controlled and now is able to have a few more effects. The effects it has has also grown. The effects are as follows: Numbing of the body, feeling that your being burned alive, becoming knocked out due to prolonged exposure, Memory loss, and Blindness.

There are so many effects to this, Spot.

• Hypnotism: Hypnotic trances cannot be induced by simple auditory effects. Plain and simple.
  
• Memory Loss: Explain this better.
  
• Actually, I'm going to ask you to reduce the number of effects. This is FARtoo many, Spot.

→ Jewel Craze: He is able to make jewels from the minerals in what he touches while wearing his ring.What his ring touches will be turned into a jewel. He can make it rise and form crystaline based structures. It is his ultimate defence.Mostly it is ranging from various forms of Quartz and Beryl on rare occasions. Making beryl has about a 25% chance of succeding otherwise it makes quartz.

Needs more explanation, please.

He cannot speak "Rouen", or "Xerxian".

Other than that, I think it looks fine.

Like I said. Cannot hypnotize with sound. Unless you have scientific proof of this being possible, this ability is not approved.

Jewel Craze: He is able to make jewels from the minerals in what he touches while wearing his ring.What his ring touches will be turned into a jewel. He can make it rise and form crystaline based structures. It is his ultimate defence.Mostly it is ranging from various forms of Quartz and Beryl on rare occasions. Making beryl has about a 25% chance of succeding otherwise it makes quartz. bassically due to silicon being a very large substance on earth quartz is very abundant. He can make quarts from the silicon and minerals around it. though quartz has a varying hardness on the Moh's scale it is very hard. almost all of it is about an 8 to an 8.5. there lies one of its weaknesses. the other is the fact that certain parts of it are thinner then others. thus they are weaker and can be cut.

Scientific proof please. It takes quite a lot of pressure to make jewels, Spot.

Have you really not been listening to anything that I've said? I swear, boy.

I told you, you can't manipulate a person through sound. It's not only godmod, it's also unscientific. Please get rid of this and replace it with something LOGICAL, Spot.

Jigen-tou - He is able to reverberate the sound coming from his ipod. The frequency depending on how high can hit you like a bunch. The louder the sound is played the more it will hurt. The the blows are weak but the tell tale sign is that the person about to be hit will hear the noise used to create it become extremely loud before they are hit. where the sound comes from must be pointed away from him or he will be hit. The sound now travels in a area of encounter type movement. He can adjust how the waves travel around his comrades to protect them though at this moment he can only protect up to five at a time. The sound travels in a dome where the top is the strongest. So to get the strongest impact he still has to point it at someone.

That is two abilities. Sadly, I cannot accept that. You could always replace your hypnotism with a sound barrier, instead of using something that would be classed as godmoddish.

...what the hell is Patios? Based off of Creole, huh? I'm gonna have to take a raincheck on that one, since I don't even know why Creole would be there. Unless there's a certain language in the MDA universe that you can compare it to and make it a dialect of, then I would advise you remove that from your app.

He looks roughly the same except due to an event he has a panthers tail and ears sewed onto his body. he tends to wrap the tail around his waist as a belt. the ears are slicked back into his hair. His eyes are like cat irises normally so it makes him look more like a cat.

What? Okay, okay. Uhm... This would make you a Chimera. That means that you actually no longer have Alchemy. And how does someone "normally" have cat irises? That is, again, a Chimera trait. Either remove this, or completely remove your Alchemy and become a Chimera. Your choice.

He Speaks Amestrian, Aerugese, Cretarian. He dabbles in Xingese, Creig, and Ishvallan.
He now speaks Drachman and is well versed in Ishvallan.

I'm iffy on the number of languages you can speak, mate. I'd tone it down, or give reasons as to HOW and WHY he learned so many.

So please fix the crap in this application as you have been ASKED, or it can return to the Archives and Alex Corde can be officially dead. ^_^

[Dai]

Ara... much better.

Moved back for Spot as he needs to retcon the jade automail arm and his alchemy. Have also advised that he notes down Alex's nickname somewhere in the app as 'Spotlight'.

[Guest]

REVISE

1) I asked you to put his nickname somewhere on the app.

2) Coding's screwed up.

3) Little shady on what parts of him are actually automail. Hands, wrists and hands, full arms, just one arm, etc? Specify in description.

4) For starters, your new 'alchemy' is actually alkahestry, so that needs tweaking.

5) See trans app.
