CBN - Alexander
Alexander X. Kuiper
Age: 17-25 (multiple story, timeline divergence focus, cover IDs...)
Psuedoclass: Water OS, Head of Central Administration Bureau of Interdimensional Communications and Research [Lawful Good]
Homeworld: Sigeki, numerous others
History: Most of it has been pretty fragmented, quite on purpose. The backstory everyone considers him having and the backstory he seems to actually possess are... unidentifiable in relation to eachother.
In theory, Alexander Kuiper is the child of Dale Kuiper and Serena, whose former name seems to have gotten lost somewhere in the paperwork, although most people could swear it started with a T. This family lived in a fairly large city, befitting Dale's position as a fairly renowned navigator, in the southern hemisphere and to the west of the subcapital on Sigeki-the-planet. At about 19 he began working for the Central Administration in an office at the subcapital itself.
In practice, Alexander Kuiper is still the child of Dale and Serena (Trevelyan, this time). Although they tended to live in the same city, certain circumstances (i.e. this whole renowned navigator idea and the other whole renowned interuniversal personable rogue idea) tended to prevent any of the three from actually living in the same general area at the same general time. Overall he spent more time with his mother than his father, and is thus significantly more accustomed to the idea of a multiverse than anyone else in Sigeki-the-world-as-a-whole, leading them in knowledge by about ten years. At about 17 he began working for the Central Administration in a fairly minor desk job, aiding with supply routing, in an office at the subcapital itself.
After the first few battles in the Origin War's first half, before it suddenly adopted a mildly cosmic scale, he decided to wander out and save at least a few cities from being totally sacked. Within about six months he was commanding a fairly large base. Within another two, he was presumed dead and not exactly welcomed back with open arms by the Administration, which had hung up Under New Management signs in a way which was a bit too forceful.
For about another six months he adopted another pretense of working for a mercenary interested third-party group, until his former boss decided to go all-out and attempt to capture the author herself. They got the wrong person, of course, and he ended up inextricably part of the main character party and with certain overly-destructive elemental abilities that he didn't end up using much, because... overly destructive.
Less than a year after that, he was finding himself a minor hero, and the Administration had firmly kicked out the scraps of the New Management signs. One of its first new acts was to conclude quite reasonably that having a staff of people to prevent people from doing that sort of thing again was a good idea, and having quite noticed this minor hero viewpoint they decided that someone with military experience and a bit of an edge in experience would be helpful. The PR advantage of picking him in particular was, of course, overlooked entirely and not really noticed until after they'd appointed him head. At nineteen. Or twenty-one. Take your pick.
Since then much of his work is still back to being a desk job, with the occasional specific conflict with the CMD or IEC or an unaffiliated madman deciding to be nihilistic, or a survey mission when nobody else manages to show up. He also devotes thought as to gaining a three-letter acronym for his organization. Maybe later.
Ability Diagnostic Data: As hinted, he doesn't end up using the inbuilt elemental function he possesses much. For what it's worth he has the ability to telekinetically control water, which can be utilized as with most for both offensive and defensive functions. He is certainly in the class of being one of the Nice Ones that you should Beware; although it may not be as targetable as some of the OS abilities, it has some of the largest potential for region-wide destruction.
He also appears to have immensely high (relative) intelligence, being the son of someone who had a pre-exceptional magometrist strength, although his thinking patterns are certainly more logically grounded than magometrists. Er, of the Trevelyan type in particular. What Spherian-styled abilities he exhibits beyond this are limited to a minor-level empathy, which he uses to his advantage. It is plausible that he could weaponize this ability to influence the emotions of others, but it's never been tested because it would be immensely out-of-character for him to do so.
Other Notes: Despite being young to the point of total implausibility and having two distinct sets of abilities, he seems to only hover somewhere near Level 8 on mary sue litmus tests. Well, other gender. Still.
This is most likely because he's also nice and thinks well of others to the point of total implausibility, although since the Origin War the disadvantageous side effects have been considerably tempered. One of the advantages to this is that he does seem to have people behave to his expectations, although whether this is actually him or a subconscious bit of well-placed, empathic arm-twisting is just a bit vague.
He seems to have a bit of natural aptitude for higher-class CAS ships, not least the one that the Bureau has appropriated and refitted as its designated flagship.
And should really be getting a higher score on MSLTs, but I've already mentioned that.
