Personality-
Alessandro has a very tactless personality to say the least; that is, he is particularly insensitive and uncaring toward most people. An example of this would be that if someone were to be attacked in front of him, Alessandro would not try to help or take a second glance; he’d simply continue on with his day as if he hadn’t seen anything. Due to this apathetic nature, Alessandro has come to be fairly apt at deducing someone’s emotion; oftentimes, he can tell if someone is distressed and trying to hide it from public view. This particular talent manifests itself in Alessandro also being extremely observant; he takes mental notes of someone’s mannerisms, they’re posture, the way they speak and the such-like. His training in the Psychology field has help him hone in on this skill.
His uncaring attitude toward life and the people in it has also resulted in Alessandro being extremely upfront about people; he wouldn’t hesitate to tell people what he thinks regardless of how harsh it sounded – or whether anyone else agrees with him. Naturally, this has led to Alessandro being brutally honest and adds to his ‘unfriendly’ nature.
Alessandro is also an exceptionally talented liar. This trait is one which has come naturally through his work with the Company. As well as being a good liar, Alessandro is extremely deceitful; he wouldn’t think twice if he needed to lie in order to give himself an advantage or get out of a tough situation and because of this, he can usually tell (often by observing someone) whether or not a person is lying.
His work with the Company has also given Alessandro a lot of courage. The assignments he had to complete whilst in the employ of the Company usually involved the capture of potentially dangerous specials. In turn, this has resulted in Alessandro being a risk-taker. If there is something in it for him, Alessandro willingly throws himself into dangerous situations.
Despite him being a risk-taker, Alessandro is very decisive; once he has made up his mind on something, it is extremely difficult to get him to change his mind. It’s due to this decisive nature of him that people often perceive him to be unnecessarily obstinate or, for lack of a better term, pig-headed.
And, due to this, Alessandro is an extremely opinionated person. To him, his opinions are the only ones which are right.
Another trait worth mentioning is that Alessandro is an impulsive person. He tends to follow an “act now, think later” mentality. That is, he would act on a situation before thinking of any consequence. Unfortunately for him, this doesn’t always work in his favour and if such an incident were to occur, he typically finds himself without a secondary plan-of-action.
Alessandro is also a very power oriented person. He enjoys having authority and power over people.
With regard to his Catholic upbringing, Alessandro still believes in a few things the Holy Book says such as a Judgment Day falling upon earth and that God made everybody in his own image and he does not believe in sex before marriage. However, despite this; he doesn’t believe in agape love. He believes that all love is attraction and that attraction is merely a manifestation of lust.
There is a softer side to Alessandro, however; there are a few situations where he does genuinely care about people. An example of this is Alice. Alessandro was originally Alice’s handler for the Company but a father/daughter relationship formed between the two and as such, Alessandro would do anything to ensure her wellbeing. Despite being away from her for so long, Alessandro still thinks about her a lot; he often wonders if she is okay and what she is doing.
Leading on from this, Alessandro has a very strong opinion on specials: - he believes they are against God’s creation and therefore should be banished. This, naturally, has given Alessandro a hypocritical tendency; he would do anything for Alice. Alice is a special.
Alessandro also hates being called anything other than Alessandro. He detests being called "Alex" above all things.
Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Knowledge about specials - Because of Alessandro's work with the Company, he has gained an invaluable amount of knowledge about abilities. Not how they work per sé, but what they can do and their weaknesses.
Fast runner - Because of his athletic nature and constant training in his earlier years, Alessandro has become quite fast on his feet and is able to outrun some of his opponents as well as get somewhere quickly.
Knowledge about technology - Alessandro has learned about many different technologies and he's learned how to do some basic hacking. This comes in useful when he is trying to find out information about a particular subject.
Good with weapons - Due to his training and work with the Company, Alessandro has learned how to use many different weapons. This includes firearms and melee weapons.
Fluent in Italian - Because Alessandro was born in Italy he was taught to speak Italian.
Limits-
Knowledge about specials - Alessandro doesn't know about every ability in the world and he doesn't have even an inkling of an idea as to how most abilities work. He only knows about abilities that he has encountered before, and that he had access to in the Company files.
Fast runner - Alessandro is only human so if he runs too much or too fast too quickly, he would run out of breath and become exhausted.
Knowledge about technology - As with most people, Alessandro is limited to what he has been taught. He will still get confused and frustrated at technology if he doesn't know a certain aspect about it.
Good with weapons - Alessandro doesn't know how to use every weapon. Alessandro also has the limit of needing to reload and maintain his firearms and weapons, which could waste valuable assignment time.
Fluent in Italian - The main limit of this skill is people. Since Alessandro lives in a place where many people speak American-English, people often don't understand what he is saying. Alessandro also speaks quite fast when talking Italian, which means even those who speak Italian don't always understand him.
Appearance-
Alessandro has a lightly tanned colour to his skin and is fairly well built. He is just 5'10" tall and has a medium frame of 155lbs.
Starting from the top and working downward, Alessandro has hair that he either has short and spiky or medium length and spiky. He has a small dot-like scar in his left ear from his old earring. His hair color is dark brown which is often mistaken as black. It has a few grey hairs here and there due to his age and he has a few wrinkles around his eyes also. Alessandro likes to keep a five o'clock shadow which is the visible stubble of beard regrowth. He also has a small scar on his neck from an encounter with a special (see history).
Moving downward, Alessandro is fairly well built due to his work in the Company and athletic lifestyle. This reflects in his arms, legs, and chest.
Alessandro is often seen wearing a thick silver ring on his left index finger to represent his ambition for power, confidence and status regarding money. He also has various small tattoos on his body, the most dominant one being the pattern on his left arm.
Regarding his clothing, Alessandro usually sports old plain jackets and dark bottoms as an attempt to remain unsuspicious to anyone who could potentially recognise him. However, that isn’t to say he doesn’t enjoy style. He has a vast collection of clothing with which he deems to be stylish.
On to his stance and voice; Alessandro has a very assertive stance when walking or standing still. This is because he enjoys authority, and his demeanour sometimes asserts this need for authority and power. Alessandro speaks with a heavy Lucano-northern Calabrese dialect of the Italian language and his English is sometimes unrecognizable when he speaks it due to this accent.

History-
After an agonizing and seemingly endless labour, one Bibiana Moretti gave birth to a healthy young baby boy. His name was Alessandro. Bibiana was proud to have a child though Fulgenzio wasn't. He didn’t want a child as he deemed them to be a waste of time, space and money.
Nonetheless, Alessandro came into the world and despite his father’s reservations about having a child and the negligence Alessandro sometimes received because of it, the Italian would not chance his family for anything. They were a wealthy and devout Catholic family whom gave Alessandro everything he could have hoped for.
Two years on and, much to Fulgenzio’s chagrin, a second child was born into the Moretti family. After Gaetana’s birth, Alessandro received much less attention which resulted in him feeling neglected and become a more introvert.
For the following three years, up until he was five, Alessandro was left to his own devices; he was forced to play by himself in his bedroom, he had to practice Catholicism alone and he became his own friend. Thusly, a bitter personality began to form.
School began for Alessandro when he was five and Fulgenzio opted for him to be home-schooled as he didn’t want his child to be corrupted by the sin of the outside world. Fulgenzio indoctrinated Alessandro into believeing what he and other devout Catholics believed in though Alessandro didn’t rightly agree with them all and he made his opinions quite clear.
During his schooling years, up until he was fourteen, nothing out-of-the-ordinary happened in Alessandro’s life; he learned to speak fluent Italian, learned how to play the piano and guitar and learned the way of his father’s religion. However, when Alessandro hit fourteen, his family moved to America primarily for a change in scenery.
They moved to Los Angeles, California and the life were to become accustomed to was vastly different to the traditional lifestyle they had been living; it was hectic and chaotic. Alessandro loved it. His father, brother and mother, however, did not.
Three months into their new lives in America, the Moretti family’s visas arrived in the post and Fulgenzion immediately threw them into the bin and ordered the family to move back to Italy and that ever leaving was a mistake. As they were packing, however, there was a strange turn of events; water started dripping from Gaetana’s fingertips and before long, two jets of water shot from his hands. Alessandro saw it happen and thought it was a manifestation of the devil. Fulgenzio had a similar mindset and threw his arms in the air and said that the family was condemned. He moved back to Italy on his own; leaving the family in Los Angeles.
Bibiana was distraught from this; Fulgenzio leaving had left her with a child who could do impossible and horrible things and Alessandro – a boy who chose never to speak.
Things remained fairly glum until Alessandro turned sixteen. Two people burst into their quaint house in Westlake Village. They had similar looking guns in their hands which were pointing at his brother. Alessandro stood looking between the men and his sibling who was being covered by Bibiana. She refused to move but she could not protect her son; the two men were too strong. They shoved her viciously to one side and a loud thud sounded before another series of smaller thuds. There was a trickle of blood coming from his mother’s head and her eyes had lost their life. Alessandro felt nothing but hate at that moment.
He felt hate toward his brother; the devil. And when the two men knocked Gaetana out and took him away, Alessandro saw two angels. Alessandro took no hesitation in chasing after them and when he succeeded in doing so, they turned to Alessandro and Alessandro tried explaining that they were angels and he wanted to be like them but he didn’t know English; they didn’t understand what he was saying. It was just as Alessandro gave up trying that a figure came between the two men; Eric Thompson, a Company employee. Eric spoke in Alessandro’s native language and told him that the Company would contact him in due course.
It took almost nine years before he heard anything from the Company. He stole all of his mother’s money and moved into a small house in Calabasas. He chose not to contact his father; he had lost his mother and his hatred towards his brother – and people with abilities – grew stronger every day.
Sure enough, when Alessandro hit twenty-three, he received contact. The Company representative that had been sent to talk to Alessandro gave him all of the information that he needed and if he chose to accept employ of the Company, training would begin immediately. He accepted and followed all subsequent direction given to him and ended up meeting with Eric Thompson once again. They had a conversation in Italian and it was decided that it was necessary he learned English in addition to his training as an agent of the Company. His first partner was an electrokinetic and Alessandro despised him.
At every chance he got, Alessandro would shove his partner to one side and never looked back if his partner fell behind.
Alessandro’s first major and perhaps most life-changing assignment was received when he was twenty-four. He was sent to retrieve a five and a half year old telekinetic whom was located in Texas and with Company funding, Alessandro flew out to Texas and met his assignment. It wasn’t a standard bag’n’tag. The child’s family had handed their daughter over to the Company in order to keep her safe. Alessandro was to become her handler of sorts; he was in charge of ensuring her wellbeing.
And though he hated the fact she was an evolved human, he brought food to her and talked to her in Italian every day and quickly he forgot that she was an evolved human; he saw the poor child for who she was; a child. An innocent girl in a cruel, unforgiving world. As the months and years passed, visitations from family diminished to nothing and Alessandro took it upon himself to ensure she wasn’t upset; he took on a fatherly role and helped her keep control of her abilities.
During their time together, the Company had requested Alessandro run ‘tests’ on Alice in order to determine whether she could do things that a normal human could not do. And though some tests he felt were inhumane and cruel, he did them. One such test was an obstacle course that could only be accomplished with telekinetically enhanced movements and, in addition to that, she had a time limit. If she missed the time, she had to start again. This frustrated Alice a great deal as well as causing her a great deal of pain.
The Company ensured Alessandro didn’t lie when handing in results of each test by injecting him with the infamous truth serum that the Company had managed to perfect. Despite this, there was an occasion where Alessandro made a verbal complaint and physically reprimanded a few of the scientists when one of the trials resulted in Alice spraining her ankle. The result of this was suspension of field duties for four days.
A tight father-to-daughter bond formed between Alice and Alessandro in their years together and when Alessandro was thirty-four, the Company told Alessandro he was being too unprofessional; the relationship the two shared was making for an ineffective agent. The Company henceforth assigned a new caretaker to Alice. A secondary reason for the change in caretaker was that Alessandro was teaching Alice about ethics and religion. This was something the Company didn’t want Alice knowing about.
During Alice’s sixteenth year, the telekinetic declared her ‘love’ for Alessandro and attempted to make an inappropriate move on him. Alessandro pushed her away and explained that his feelings toward her were more like a family bond, not the way in which she saw him.
The Company kept Alice under surveillance because they saw the girl as an asset and despite being forced to stay away from her, Alessandro still considered Alice to be his adopted daughter.
Alessandro soon went back to completing field assignments with his old Company partner up until shortly after the destruction of the Harsdale facility when two new members were brought into the Company. Their names were Ryan Alcroft and Adele Couteau. The Company director at the time told Alessandro that his current partner was too much of a burden and so Alessandro was asked to take care of him. So he did and then he flew out to Texas where he became Ryan Alcroft’s handler. This subsequently led to Ryan become Alessandro’s partner.
However, on April 4th, 2010, the world changed forever. Alessandro, for four minutes and thirty-four seconds, became what he hated the most; an evolved human.
Alessandro woke up that morning by being flung into the air and out of the window of the hotel he was staying at. He couldn’t describe it other than a giant invisible hand pulling him through the air. He feared for his life; he didn’t know what to do. At around ninety-seven miles per hour, Alessandro soared through the air like a majestic eagle. Three minutes into the bizarre experience, Alessandro gained control and lowered himself to a safer height. He felt slightly better. And then, thirty-four seconds later, he dropped and came crashing into the ground amidst the chaos and destruction in New York.
April 4th only aided to accentuate Alessandro’s hatred of all things ‘special’. He took out this hatred on his partner, Ryan. He constantly belittled and degraded the man and during one incident, at a training facility for the Company, Alessandro hit Ryan. The newly appointed Company director – Grace Harper – witnessed this assault and reprimanded him. Alessandro made his views on specials clear and, as a result of this, he was fired from the Company.
Alessandro was devastated; the Company had been his life. He couldn’t handle not being in their employ so he decided to venture to California, following a tip from somebody outside of a record store, in order to find his father. He left Alice a short letter in the hopes she would understand his reasoning and then he left for California.
When he got to California, there was a man living in their old house. He looked weak and was sitting in a chair in scraggy, torn clothing. Alessandro knew almost immediately it was his father and rage built up inside of him. Here was this man who had taught Alessandro everything as a child; sitting in a chair, old and frail. Fulgenzio had come back to find his family but instead found loneliness and he did look lonely; Alessandro saw that and was disappointed. Alessandro told his father how pathetic he looked. His father didn’t respond. Alessandro quickly saw that he wasn’t breathing and looked at his eyes and saw he hadn’t breathed in a few hours. Alessandro had just missed his father.
But he felt nothing. Alessandro buried his father and tried to make a life inside of the home where both his parents died.
Alessandro stayed in California for the following years. He kept to himself in his house and didn’t watch T.V. or take interest in the news; instead he spent most of his days thinking about Alice until finally, in November of 2013, Alessandro decided to go back to New York
When he arrived in New York, he found no sign of Alice or anything of his past. He caught glimpses of old memories but nothing major.
It was January the sixth, 2014 when an ex-assignment with the power to form sharp blades with a thought, caught sight of Alessandro roaming the streets of New York. Angered by the past, the assignment stalked Alessandro and attacked him. This left Alessandro with a cut on his neck. The cut, however, wasn’t deep enough to cause any major damage and it began to heal very quickly, leaving only a small scar.
It was that night that Alessandro decided he would hunt Alice down and kill any special that got in his way.
Anything else?-
Alessandro, though illegally, owns two weapons. He lost his TASER X3 when in California:
Sample RP-
Alessandro looked to his right and noticed someone standing in the rain, watching him. Alessandro spat to the side and turned his gun to aim at the male. Almost immediately, Alessandro's gun was pushed by an unseen force out of his hand. "Telecinesi" Alessandro uttered under his breath, and then he pulled the TASER from his pocket and shot at the male.
Within seconds the man dropped to the floor, jerking about from the volts of electricity. Sparks shot from the man from the connection the TASER had on the special's skin. "Never try and out-do me, mostro" Alessandro said, his voice was bitter; matching his attitude.
All specials were mostri or mostro's in Alessandro's mind. They were all monsters. "Eugh. Figli del diavolo." Alessandro cursed under his breath before spitting to his left and walking to the unconscious special.
"You're coming with me." Alessandro hissed before grabbing the body and dragging it along the concrete to his car. He threw the evolved human's body into the car and slammed the door shut. Alessandro got into the driver's side of the car and made his way down the road, to the Las Vegas Company branch; the Imperium hotel.
Upon arriving at the Imperium hotel, Alessandro turned down his car stereo which was playing Uno De Aquellos by Joan Manuel Serrat. It was calming for Alessandro; his favorite kind of music. After he had turned the stereo down, he got out his cell phone and rang the hotel; "Hello, and welcome to the Imperium hotel - how may I help you?" the receptionist said. Alessandro responded by saying "E 'Alessandro, ho l'incarico." after a brief moment of silence a male could be heard on the other end of the phone, where the receptionist was; "Manderemo qualcuno adesso." the male said. It was one of the higher-ups in the Company.
Within forty-five seconds two men came out of the hotel. One was a special, the other wasn't. That's how the Company operated; one of us, one of them. "Make sure he's in Level Three." Alessandro said, and the two men nodded in sync. The Company special held onto the guy and vanished instantaneously. The Company civilian stood and looked at Alessandro; "Boss says he wants you in Texas." Alessandro sighed and drove off.
He was headed to Texas for his next assignment...
