Appearance

A big strapping lad with an ever present spitcurl and an easy smile. Often dressed in either his uniforms or in simpler, hardier clothes suitable for being out in the wild in.

Personality

Alistair is not a man who conceals his emotions. He is friendly and quick to laugh. He is also quick to anger, but forgives easily, laughing off many transgressions.He has inhereted his father's "charm" (read toothping), as well as his mother's family penchant for sparkly flexing coupled with inspirational hollaring. He is bold, to a fault, believing in nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Background

Born during one of his mother's trips home, the frozen fortress of Briggs and the outlying wildlands has always been where he feels most at home. He followed his mother into the military and the State Alchemist program when he was old enough, quickly graduating the program and eventually getting himself permanently stationed at Briggs. His aptitude for surviving out in the wilds earned him a seat in the newly formed Briggs Rangers, where he rose to a commanding position.

Unique Items

Has two swords, named Hurricane and Spitfire, with partial alchemic arrays carved into the blades. WHen he clashes the blades together at key points, it completes the arrays and creates a variety of effects:

• Frostbite: Makes the air around his weapons intensely cold for a brief period of time, making hard surfaces brittle and easier to break and imparting the basic gamut of effects on flesh from exposure to very exteme cold.
• Pressure Snap: Superheats the air around his weapons and directs the sudden explosion in pressure in a sphereical pattern around Alistair. Targets in melee range will be badly burnt (through heat not combustion), and the pressure wave is enough to knock a man off his feet at ten yards.
• Spark: Releases a ten foot sphereical burst of high voltage static electricity, not doing lasting damage to people, but effectively tazing them. Unshielded electronics can be shorted out by this ability.
• Silver Stream: Transforms the swords' blades into long, paper thin ribbons of steel that Alistair has amazing control over. While they have very little in the way of impact force and weight, they are razor sharp, fast and move irratically, making them difficult to avoid.
• Chopper: Transforms the swords into a pair of hefty hand-axes.
• Truncheon: Transforms the swords into a pair of batons.
• Revert: Reverts the blades to their original shape. The Revert aray is on the butt of the grip on either weapon.
