__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description:
ALICE FURY is a thin man of average height. His long blonde hair is dyed red, and his nails are painted deep purple. ALICE is very much a pretty boy, but his good looks are offset by the slightly crazed look in his eyes. His hooded robe was stolen from a priest- ALICE wears it to break societal norms.

ALICE is never seen without his custom lyre- it's made of copper, which helps it to conduct electricity.

Personality:
To say that ALICE is a rebel is the biggest understatement one could possibly make. ALICE FURY is the rebel, and he won't let anybody forget it. His disrespect for authority goes so far that he considers the mages in Connlaoth to be just as bad as the nobles in charge- you can't beat "the man" by becoming "the man", according to him. ALICE believes that a perfect world would have no leaders, laws, or social classes, and this radical ideology puts him at odds with almost everybody he meets.

Much like the music he plays, ALICE sounds scary but is ultimately harmless. He rages against the machine by playing his instrument really loud and sometimes cussing people out through his song lyrics. The moment things get physical, he retreats- his powers aren't incredibly useful in combat, and he knows this. This isn't to say he's a coward however, as he'll often crash parties and break into fortresses in order to spread his message of anarchy.

On a personal level, ALICE is a bit of a asshole. He has no filter, and rarely thinks about what he's about to say before he says it. His music can be quite vulgar as well- one of his songs is literally titled "Mordecai Can Suck My Dick". He does hold a special place in his heart for fans of his music, however, and would do anything to protect them.

Relationships:
Not really a relationship per say, but ALICE considers the Grand Duke of Connlaoth to be his musical rival. It's highly unlikely that the Grand Duke is even aware of ALICE's existence, but ALICE insists that he will be, someday.

Magic/Abilities:
ALICE FURY is a living battery- he's able to absorb electricity from natural sources (i.e. lightning, static, etc.) and use it to charge other things. He uses this most often with his lyre, causing it to sound radically different than a lyre normally would.

As humans already give off a small electric charge, Mordecai do not shut down his powers all the way- they merely prevent him from absorbing electricity and cap his output at ten volts/second. Adhara cause him to violently discharge any electricity he has stored, effectively de-powering him.

ALICE is a very talented lyre player, adept at playing sick riffs and rocking the fuck out.

History:
ALICE FURY was never the type to listen to authority. As a child he'd refuse to eat his vegetables and would never do his chores. When it came time for him to join the military- as all male children must- he ran away from home. You see, ALICE had a dream- to be the greatest bard of all time. Buying a beat up lyre from a second hand store, he began his journey with stars in his eyes...

It didn't work out so well. While ALICE seemed to have a natural affinity for the instrument, his music always sounded off- like it was missing something vital. The civil war made things difficult as well, with both sides of the conflict seeming stupid to him. He tried to work his own personal philosophy- total anarchy- into his song lyrics, but it ended up getting him arrested. This cemented ALICE's political views- after all, if The Man wants him censored, he must be saying something right. Upon his release, ALICE went back to trying to get gigs at taverns- only to find that there was no work available for a mediocre musician who sang about controversial topics.

If you asked him today why he decided to play his lyre in the middle of a thunderstorm, ALICE would probably tell you he was trying to find inspiration in nature. What happened that night would end up changing his life forever.

As he stood in the rain, ALICE poured all of his bitterness and sorrow into his lyre. The sound was hauntingly beautiful, and if anybody could hear it over the thunder they'd be driven to tears. As ALICE finished his song, lighting flashed overhead. Suddenly, a bolt of electricity stuck him from above, imbuing him with a new energy! Unsure of what had just happened to make him feel so alive, ALICE began an encore performance. His instrument sounded harsher now, as if ALICE had imbued it with raw emotion! The music was so loud that it woke up the entire town, and ALICE was soon playing in front of a large crowd of people. As the song reached it's climax, so did ALICE- and he suddenly understood what he'd been doing wrong. He wasn't aggressive enough! He needed to be loud and in your face, just like the song he'd just played. Smiling at this sudden revelation, ALICE looked at his audience awaiting applause...

"That man is playing devil music! Somebody call the guards!"

ALICE is now on the run.
