Alex Relson

Leader of the HGO

39

Male

He/him

6'7"

240 lbs.

Comfortable, worn down, a little dramatic, dark colors

Alex tops the height charts among the HGO, rivaling even some of the shorter earth Dragons. He has wide facial features and a large nose, framed by a mop of messy brown hair. His build is quite heavyset, though it can be hard to tell with all the layers of baggy clothes he likes to wear. Whatever expression he's wearing, it's bound to be a dramatic one; he's incredibly easy to read.

Being loud, traveling, roasting things over open flames

People who question his decisions, his hair

Commitment, seeing his reflection in a mirror

Billiards, astronomy, grilling

Heterosexual

"Larger than life" doesn't just describe Alex's height. He speaks and moves in an over-exaggerated fashion whenever he can, always broadcasting his booming voice for all to hear. Whether he's excited or angry or anywhere in-between, he wants the whole world to know about it. His thought processes can be a bit hard to discern from the outside; sometimes he'll react the wrong way in social situations or say odd things that catch people off guard.

Healing with water energy

Spiked gauntlets

Alex hasn't had any practice with his weapons; he's more likely to hurt himself with a punch than someone else. He is a skilled mage, however, and able to heal his own wounds if he can open distance between himself and his attacker – which is easier said than done, given his size and resulting slowness. He does not, however, use underhanded tactics such as drowning his opponent.

Leader of the Hallowed Gladiator Organization

Alex has always been a bit of a nomad. He came across seven different orphans in his travels, and took each of them into his care along the way. These orphans would eventually be united into the Hallowed Gladiator Organization, under his leadership. They're also all his adopted family, technically speaking, but he has trouble seeing himself as a father figure sometimes and even had them all keep their last names instead of taking his.

He is quite wealthy, though he's always kept the source of his income a secret. He uses the money to fund the HGO's missions and hobbies, and to both maintain the Relson Manor and fund the group's purchasing of their own smaller homes in Nuova if they so choose. While Alex's own manor will always be the "official" HGO HQ, everyone is free to move between their two homes as they please.

"I used to have a little puppet theater with a full collection of felt puppets. Often I would shine a light on it instead and use my hands to craft my OWN puppets from the shadows!"

"A few years ago I would've said my grilling, but admittedly I've gone out of practice with how often Carl cooks for me. My PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS, though, now THOSE I'm confident in! Who can resist my authoritative tone?"

"I trust others admire my strong leadership and my BOLD ENUNCIATION!"

"The sight of a JOB WELL DONE! Doesn't have to be mine, any job will do! Nothing lifts my spirits more than seeing good, honest work done with excellence."

"Their RESILIENCE! The human race continually impresses me with its stubborn refusal to give up even in the face of OVERWHELMING odds. And, uh, the same holds true for other races too, I suppose!"
