STRIKE A POSE ' '

Physical Appearance: Lex is of Zulu descent and it manifests in his physical traits. The perfect way to describe his skin tone would be chocolate brown, if ever he would let you go away with that. He chooses to wear his thick curly hair in long dreadlocks, usually tied at the back. Lex's eyes are reminiscent of a leopard's, always narrowed and vigilant. His nose lies flat in the middle of his face, just above his wide brown lips.

Lex's body is ripped but obviously from hardship and not weight-lifting. Tattoos are scattered all over his body, along with several scars from various fights. His posture is intimidating, almost as if he is about to pounce on the next passer by. Lex stands at exactly six feet and walks with a pronounced swagger.

When he's not shirtless, Lex prefers the typical white sleeveless shirt. His pants hang so low that his boxers are explicitly displayed. He usually has a smoke in his hand. The twin daggers dangling from his sides make his appearance far from comely.

LET'S GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER ' '

Personality Description: Lex is passion embodied. Wrath, lust and any other overpowering and aggressive emotion is magnified in him. As such, he is dynamite waiting to explode. Anyone who ticks him off is likely to receive a fist right in the face. When nobody has the balls to do so, he is likely to incite the fight just for the adrenaline rush and the accompanying high of victory. Lex is never one to back off, to the point of being stubborn. A word or two can set him off and there will be a hundred percent chance of confrontation.

Lex is a troublemaker and will persuade other people to join in the destructive fun. He's adept at street art and graffiti. Growing up in the ghetto, he has also learned to utilize his surroundings to his advantage and navigate himself through impossible meshes of streets using parkour. Lex can probably break all the rules and it wouldn't be enough for him.To summarize, Lex only acknowledges one law - himself.

Behind the fiery temper and the tough guy act however, lies an intellectual. Lex is actually pretty skillful with his hands and naturally clicks with technology. He never shows this side, however, because he refuses to believe that the talent would do any good for him or his reputation.

Lex is cliquish and will rarely pay attention to anyone outside his "gang". Although insulting and a bit lewd, Lex is the kind of guy who would take a bullet for a friend and stick to one girl (when he does find the "one"; otherwise, he's one big fat player). Needless to say, he is fiercely protective of his family, by blood or friendship. If his passion brings about any good, it is best manifested here.

Power/Ability:
Blood Manipulation

[/i] – Mixcoatl was a bloody god. Not only was he a deity of war and bloodshed, but the offerings made to him also included sacrificing hearts. Lex can bend blood to his will, altering its properties – shape, density, compositon, phase, etc. Furthermore, he can control the blood flow of his own body and of others, allowing him to draw blood from other people and cause open wounds to either gush or clot instantly. Lex’s tattoos glow crimson when he uses his powers. His blood is also uniquely flammable and regenerates rapidly. However, he will be exhausted if he needs to regenerate blood continuously.

Teleportation[/i] - Mixcoatl was also known as the Cloud Serpent, a form he used to travel to great distances. Lex's ability to teleport within his line-of-sight is still latent.

Blood Manipulation[/i] - Mixcoatl was said to have created fire. This is a latent ability.

WELCOME TO MY LIFE ' '

Origin: Manhattan, New York
History: Alexandre was born into poverty in a ghetto in New York. His mother had died giving birth to him. Lex's father, Andile, entered all sorts of jobs to feed his son but nothing paid him well enough. At the tender age of five, Lex displayed great potential and created his first toy car which ran on natural wind power. His father was always away when he was growing up and so, he fell into bad company. Lex joined a gang and would cut school to deface public property or engage in a brawl with a rival gang. Secretly, however, he studied mechanics in his spare time and built various gadgets.

One day, Andile fell ill and was stricken bed-ridden. Lex didn't have the money to pay for the medicine. Nobody would give him a job because of his gang's reputation. Desperate, he turned to the brothers of his deceased mother for help. Lex's uncles were prominent drug dealers who were notorious for their shady undertakings. They gladly obliged and sent him the money, telling him to pay by the end of the month.

Andile recovered slowly but soon forbade Lex to leave the house, knowing that the money must have been attained through dishonest means. Lex confessed to his father and they both plotted to escape the neighborhood for good.

One day, as Lex bade his farewells to his gang, his uncles invaded the Gazinis' house and demanded for their money. Andile told them that they were not going to get a single cent from him. In his final stand, he was shot down mercilessly.

Lex returned seconds later, rushing at the sound of gunshots. The men beat Lex for several minutes and threw him down on the slain body of his father. Overwhelmed with pain, mourning and hate, a bleeding Lex's vision turned crimson and a strange flooding of power streamed in his veins. Suddenly all the blood in the room rose into a surging column of red liquid as his tattoos became tiny beacons of burning red light. At this point, some of the men fled the scene while a foolish handful stayed, rooted in fright. One of the men shot at Lex. The column flowed in front of him and hardened, embedding the bullet in crimson ice. With a roar, the solid construct wrapped around his body, turning into makeshift armor. The blood dripping from his wounds collected in mid-air, shivered for a second and then solidified into four foot serrated blades on each of his forearms. The men screamed as Lex cut them down one by one, too frightened to react at the horrid sight. Finally all of the gangsters who stayed lay mangled on the floor as Lex collapsed and blacked out.

When he woke up, he found himself in a clinic he had never seen before. It was clean and obviously expensive. A mysterious man by his bed approached him and explained everything that was happening to him. The elder also told him that his father cited Lex as his sole inheritor. Along with a small amount of money, Lex gained a pair of exquisite ornamented African long daggers which, the will stated, was a family heirloom handed down generation by generation. Lex was still bewildered but agreed to stay in the Academy, knowing he had nowhere else to go.
