Description

Forgot I did this a week or so ago - I wasn't all that happy with it, even though I spent a few hours on it, so left it mostly finished and to be forgotten. But I feel it's a waste not putting it somewhere, because I'm sure someone will appreciate it haha >.> Who doesn't like totally creepy and evil Alex?

It was a bit of an experiment with drawing a snarl, but teeth are surprisingly hard to draw >.> That and because I like drawing Alex looking a little bit... off and out of character xD He has bad days, y'see? Hahaha. I love going from OCs like Zeke with their bright exterior to Alex's dark side, yay diversity! xD


As a little explanation for those who don't know and are slightly confused as to why my pretty boy pirate suddenly trades green eyes from red and turns into a crazy madman, in a painful cliche that only my 16 year old self could conjure up, Alex is essentially a host, or as myself and InfamousAficionado say, a vessel, for the world's dark spirit. Through a range of events, the spirit split itself into eight, becoming eight voices that Alex can hear in his head. Each voice is different, and have names of sorts being Aeon, Aether, Chaos, Water, Wood, Metal, Fire and Earth. Each has its own attributes and purposes, and while the elementals are currently capable of existing in bodies, of sorts, technically only Aether and Chaos are supposed to have human vessels that they control, which are immortal both to make them invincible but also capable of taking the strain the voices put on their bodies (Alex eats like a horse and sleeps like a cat and has a metabolism through the roof - I have a whole document dedicated to understanding his biology haha), and they're generally stronger than normal. Aether is currently one of our bad guys, called Bloodright, who likes to hunt Alex down, while Alex's voice, the one that's supposed to control him, is Chaos. And like his namesake, Chaos is crazy - he's big on death and destruction in the most animalistic of ways, so Alex can, and will, tear people up with his hands... But because of things that are too long-winded to explain, and because he and Bill fight the darkness to try and get it back together again and restore balance, he isn't crazy all the time. He generally loses himself when he gets super angry, is wounded heavily, is near another of the voices or when he's exposed to obsidian (we use stones a lot for magical symbolism, obsidian being evil, opal good, while the jade he has in the amulet he wears is to balance and keep him mostly stable). He's usually mostly aware of what's going on, so remembers things afterwards even if it's not entirely his fault as he can't control his actions. But he still thinks it's his fault as he's had the voices being part of him so long that he has difficulty determining where they end and he starts. That said, in our RP Alex is currently hatching a plan to work with Chaos to get to the other voices, because Chaos doesn't get on with the others, even if they are one of the same. He's got a bit of a superiority complex ;D
And this is just the simplified dumbed down version xD
 /word vomit.


So yeah. Alex is a little bit... different ;D 

But either way, Alex Sheppard is my pirate captain with a slight issue ;D xD
