ABILITIES: Blood of the Immortal
- Aleksandr aged to look about 35 and then didn't age any further. He has looked like a 35 year old for 485 years now.
- Aleksandr can heal from any injury he receives.
- Aleksandr's healing factor compensates for radiation, disease etc. The more serious the thing he is exposed to, the more immune he will become. Adaptation!
- Aleksandr's toying with science and his own powers resulted in being able to create constructs with his own blood.
Part of Aleksandr Ambrose's powers have been redacted at this current time with permission of staff.
SKILLS:
- Doctor: not necessarily up-to-date medical knowledge, but it isn't that far behind he keeps it updated.
- Weapons knowledge: Knowledge in a variety of weapons
- Martial Arts knowledge: not as extensive as his knowledge of weaponry but there nonetheless
- Scientist: Scientific method? How about taking a scalpel to your own arm in the name of science? No? Aleksandr's dedication to the pursuit of new science: is it enviable or do you not want to go that far?
- Hard calls: Being the prince of a country, and the ruler of a duchy when you're only 18 means you become adept at making hard calls for the sake of your people or die trying. Literally.
- Professor: Aleksandr is a good teacher, and teaches history, and history of superpowers as a specialty. He's good at it too!
WEAKNESSES:
- His injuries may heal quickly, but they still hurt.
- He can die. It just won't be a permanent thing. The smaller the pieces he's in, the longer it will take for him to regenerate.
- If he's exposed to a disease or something stronger than what he's encountered, he will at the least get very sick from it. It takes time for his powers to adapt to it.
- The size of his blood constructs depends on how much blood he has in him. And he can't function without a certain amount of blood in him. It regenerates quickly, but it's still something he has to take into consideration.
- Anyone he cares about will be a weakness for him. He will do anything for someone he cares about.

Appearance
GENERAL: Stuck in a perpetual state of age, Sasha has tried a bunch of different looks in his time. Long hair, short hair, bearded or shaven. Currently he favours short blond hair and a well groomed beard. He can seem imposing, or easy going depending on what he's going for. He's strong and muscular, but Sasha's only about five foot seven. This was actually taller than average for a man born in the era he was, probably due to the excellent diet he was able to have growing up. His fashion sense is eclectic. He might wear something that would be at home at a Ren faire, or he could don a button down and a leather jacket. It really depends.
COSTUME: If he has to don a costume, it's usually a pair of aviator sunglasses and a mask that goes over his mouth and ties behind the back of his head. He has a favourite type of brown leather jacket he often wears with it, often with a pair of black or blue jeans.

Personality
Aleksandr, or Sasha as people close to him have called him, is an easygoing guy. He's not going to sweat the small stuff, even if he does pay close attention to it. He's every inch still a diplomat at heart, but he does it with the charm and ease that I guess you develop once you've lived as long as he has.
When his family was alive, he was very much a family first kind of guy despite having a duchy to run. But in his mind, his duchy was his extended family so he ended up being adored. Now that his family is dead, and he doesn't have a duchy anymore he can be left at a bit of a loss as to what to do. But any friends he makes fill out the family category. If only he could actually make some friends.

History
Yes, you read his age right. Aleksandr was born in the power positive European country of Adaira around the year 1500 AD. Back in 1500 AD it wasn't so power positive though. In fact, the country was just getting its start. The country was founded 50 years before. Relatively new for a country, considering. Adaira dealt with frequent revolts in the peasantry due to the ruling family being powered. For the most part, any action by the rulers against the riots and revolts was ineffective. Until Aleksandr was born and raised into the ruling family. He was raised in etiquette, and various types of fighting, as well as many scholarly pursuits. Aleksandr was known to sneak out of the palace in disguise and mingle with his subjects. This is how he learned that despite the frequent revolts, most of the peasants in Adaira had no problem with being ruled by those with powers.
When he turned 17, he was the one who suggested actually following through with the threat of the death penalty they had been giving those who were revolting. The rebellion and its leaders were hung publically. It was seen as a brutal countermeasure, but it worked. And as a result, Aleksandr was given some land. Previously, Adaira hadn't been divided into duchies. The duchy of Lio was the first, ruled by an eighteen year old Aleksandr.
He married only once. The woman's name was Tara. Little is known about her, but Aleksandr was said to have loved her dearly. They had three children together and ruled the duchy of Lio for ten years together. Tara died in childbirth giving birth to their third child. Aleksandr never remarried, ruling Lio for twenty more years. Throughout his kingdom he was seen as THE eligible bachelor. He never entertained any of the ladies, or even the gentlemen, who vied for his attentions.
Aleksandr never grew old. And when that's said, it doesn't mean he died. He simply disappeared. His children carried on ruling Lio, handing the title of Duke down through the generations. Aleksandr was never found, and over time the Adaira history books began referring to him as 'The Lost Duke'. No-one ever discovered what truly happened to him. What you're about to hear is only known to whoever Aleksander has told himself.
After he staged his disappearance, he started taking an interest in medicine. At the time there was starting to be knowledge on anatomy in Europe. Aleksandr however had a unique advantage. He could study how the internal muscles looked when they moved. When they were alive. He didn't have to rely on dissecting cadavers, and it helped him immensely. Soon enough though, he realized he didn't want to be a simple doctor. Oh he helped people true. But on his free time he began researching powers. It started with his own. At the time he wasn't sure if all powers came from the same thing. He discovered they didn't over the course of time. By the time he was a hundred and three, he had moved on from looking for the cause as he'd determined he would need to let European knowledge catch up before he could learn about it himself. Instead, he began experimenting with his blood and what he'd learned about powers and how they worked.
The experiments would end with him shearing off one of his arms, discovering he could regrow that, discovering he felt pain from it. The accident also led him to the discovery of a mutation within his own blood. He didn't know it was a mutation at the time. Mutations hadn't been discovered yet. But he observed a visible change in his blood. He could now control it. Create things with it. It solidified enough to create things. Aleksandr started experimenting on how to use it. Training with it.
Along the way, he discovered a lot about superpowers, possible ways they're created, and he experienced many historical events along the way. He traveled the world. And he learned much. Eventually he went to get a master's or two in some fields. One of them is history, and he's a history professor in Astaria. It's a valuable way for him to feel like he's giving back to a community, and not detach himself from people in general.
