[edit] Affiliations
Formerly of the Teen League, Alexander's recent assignment to the Mid-West left him without a super group. He is now a member of the Justiciars.
[edit] Powers
Transmutation Magic: Transmuation magic, the art of turning energy into matter and vice versa, is Alex's primary area of expertise. He can siphon kinetic and magical energy to power spells that alter the physical properties of objects or beings around him.
Evocation Magic: Magic Missiles, Bolts of Force, Gusts of Wind and blinding bursts of light. Evocation spells are Alex's primary offensive weapons. With these spells, he can choose to deal lethal or subdual damage to his foes, and fire unerring magical projectiles that can knock down enemies in a single shot.
Flight:Alexander's magic gives him the power of flight, though he's not a particularly proficient flyer yet.
[edit] Abilities & Limitations
Alexander's spells are limited to a number of uses per memorization. If given several minutes, he can quickly re-memorize his incantations and gestures, but prolonged engagements require him to imbue items with spells to extend the duration of his powers.
[edit] Equipment
Alexander makes frequent use of spell components for rituals, wands and scrolls to store spells for extended adventures, talismans, runes, and occasionally, firearms and weapons to bring his physical might up to par with his adversaries. Alexander also has access to an extensive magical library through M.A.G.I., allowing him to rapidly assess any magical threats he might encounter.
A capable artificer, Alexander has recently been working on integrating several magical artifacts together to form a kind of armor for high-risk combat situations. Unfortunately, a lack of workspace and materials have halted his efforts.
[edit] History
Alex's family moved around quite a bit due to his father's position in the military. When Col. Schlotz finally retired, he began working for a military contractor based in Paragon City. Alexander spent the majority of his childhood growing up in Astoria, until the Rikti invasion turned his life upside down.
Seeking shelter in the city's interior, the Schlotz family fled to Atlas Park, but unfortunately, the alien invasion force was able to penetrate the city's defenses and destroy city hall. The efforts of Statesman and several other heroes managed to drive them off before they could turn their attention to the refugees. In the aftermath of the battle, Alexander found a M.A.G.I. spell book in the wreckage of city hall. Studying the book, Alexander became skilled in the art of transmutation magic.
While most of the city's super powered individuals were out fighting the main Rikti force, Alexander and the city's criminal element set about coordinating relief efforts for the refugees and serving as messengers between the various pockets of human resistance.
Towards the end of the war, Alexander sustained a serious injury from an alien plasma weapon. The resulting infection left his body weakened and withered for a time. Still recovering from his injuries, he began attending Paragon University, working towards a degree in communications with a minor in women's studies.
After another brief stint in the hospital due to the onset of celiac sprue, a genetic condition, Alexander decided to take up hero work part-time to hone his magical skills and make contacts within the paranormal community while still attending school.
[edit] Trivia
Before becoming a hero, Alexander worked in campus coffee shop of Steel Canyon's Paragon City University.
