History:
Alexandros was born from the one night stand between the Goddess Hecate and a hunter Eric. Eric had been in the marines most of his life working as a military police officer and had deployed a couple times. He originally planned to retire having already put in just about 12 years but got out when he met and fell in love with woman named Alexandria who was a doctor. Knowing how hard it had been in the past to sustain a relationship while constantly working and being sent on deployment, Eric chose to find a new path. Eric became a police officer serving as the undersheriff but became sheriff when the late sheriff died of a heart attack in a small town in NY. Everything was pretty normal for a couple years, Alexandria was even due to have their first child. But one night while a seemingly badly injured patient was taken into the ER, Alexandria attempted to save them but like everyone else there that day fatally found out that the patient wasn't sick, but possessed. 

The demon was summoned by an occult group of vampires that had been ritually sacrificing people without the knowledge of the Vampire Lord of that area and Eric had already been investigating them as their latest 3 victims had been residence within their town. When Eric arrived on the crime scene he was overwhelmed with anger and devastation. Unable to remove himself from the investigation, Eric dedicated himself to find out who was responsible and he had no intention of simply arresting them. He began tracking down the patient that was admitted. He tracked them down to a warehouse and wanting to settle this personally didn't bother to call for back up. With a shotgun in hand and pistol at his side, he went in. The patient didn't bother to hide, still wearing the same cloths and bloody, it walked out towards Eric with a sinister smile on its fact and blood red eyes. 

It taunted Eric speaking of things it shouldn't have known. Said how sweet the blood of his child was and how his wife begged for her life pathetically. With no hesitation Eric began unloading his shotgun into the patient. The round seemed to have little impact outside of pushing it back a little. After Eric was out of rounds and the woman before him seemed relatively unphased, he watched in horror as he was helplessly flung across the room by an invisible force. The women with a snap of her fingers broke both of his legs and relished in Erics pain like being fueled and empowered by it. She walked by Eric with that same sinister grin and walked out of the building leaving Eric there to suffer. 

Eric called for help over his radio and through his recovery tried to think long and hard what he would do next. He left out all the supernatural from his report, made up a story as to what happened, and took a leave of absence under the excuse that he shouldn't be investigating his own families murder. It was at this time Eric began looking into the occult, everything he could find, anything online, anyone who was considered an 'expert', and any book. He came across a supposed witch that offered to help. His intention was to summon what he now knew was a demon so he could kill it. Through their trials however they didn't summon a demon at all, but the spirit of Hecate. Hecate offered him a deal, in exchange for the knowledge to get what he wanted, he would give her a child. Eric not realizing exactly what that meant agreed. When the act was done both the witch and spirit of Hecate was gone and Eric was flooded with knowledge on the occult and how to combat them successfully, knowledge no source he had found up until that point had even scratched the surface on.

Bringing in a close cousin and two deputies on what he knew after he was able to prove his claims to the skeptical men, he formed a small group of hunters to help not only take vengeance but protect the town from future supernatural events like the massacre at the hospital that started it all. Eric was able to successfully track the demon down, but it was residing with the group of vampires that had originally summoned it. They prepared themselves accordingly and though were able to surprise the vampires who underestimated the mere humans, they were quickly over powered. The vampire slowly began to torture the men, then one by one killed them to appease the demon who at that point never bothered to make a move against the men, simply watched everything unfold entertainingly. When Eric was the only one left the demon finally walked over to him. It told him that when they last met it had spared him so that he would be forced to live a life of pain and misery but with this new found strength and conviction, he would not be afforded such an opportunity again. 

Then suddenly a wave washed over everyone and the vampire and demons appeared to be angrily paralyzed. Then the witch that Eric had met so long ago walked in, she was carrying a baby, Eric though weak rose and one by one slaughtered the helpless vampire though before he could kill the demon it seemingly teleported away. The witch told Eric that the child was his to raise and that under the instruction of Hecate she would help him. Alexandros, who went by Alex had a relatively normal life up until he was in high school. He had no idea what his father did as a hunter nor that the women he was told was his aunt was actually a witch that served his mother who happened to be a goddess. But when his abilities began to manifest, he was told everything. Alex took it pretty well, a little overwhelmed but, he handled everything quite sensibly.

At that point Alex began training with his father and his 'aunt' in both combat, hunting, and witchcraft. Alex through his dreams also began communicating directly with his mother. Alex went to school to get into law enforcement like his father. But seeing how restrictive even as a Sheriff, police officers could be when dealing with the supernatural, he knew he didn't want to do that. Federal agencies like the FBI might take him away from his home and could be too busy and overly monitored to effectively continue hunting efficiently. Already having interests in other things like science and wild life, Alex decided ultimately to become an EPA CID Special Agent which blended everything he liked and needed well. Alex works with his father and a small team of hunters on his time off currently but enjoys his 'day job' as well. He can be found studying the occult and spellwork as well as trying to develop his own in his free time and also stays proficient with his bow preferring it to his side arm.

Personality:
Alexandros has always been inquisitive and eager to learn. He has always displayed patience uncommon for his age and rarely approaches anything rashly. His high aptitude and ability to pick up things without much repetition has made him extremely proficient in obtaining and retaining academics, skills, and abilities which in turn makes him confident in his ability, as well as the decisions he makes in using them. Usually calm and calculating, Alexandros weighs his decisions heavily, trying his best to be proactive and never reactive to situations.

When things don't go as planned his calmness is maintained and his thoughts clear of emotional influence. When faced with conflict, Alexandros never escalates situations, and when forced to act will always use minimum force and effort being extremely efficient. This is a 'work smarter not harder' approach. Very brave, Alexandros does not hesitate to walk head on into danger if required. He can be very creative tactically speaking and in the manner of which he uses his gifts and can come up with unconventional and surprising ways of dealing with problems.

Alexandros can come off as being disconnected due to his more analytical approach to things and his usual attempt to not let emotional attachments effect important decisions. He can be blunt and seem unsympathetic as he is very serious most of the time when speaking with others but he does in fact care deeply for others. He can be condescending with his biting humor coming off dry, sarcastic, and even contemptuous when he breaks from his normal seriousness. When it comes to friends and family, he tends to be more cautious and practical when making decisions as opposed to if things only effected himself.

Strengths/Powers: Alexandros being the son of Hecate has divine authority over different magics to a limited degree and obviously lesser extent to higher beings like his mother. But Alexandros is immensely powerful able to tap into his demi-god blood like a witch, partially divine soul like a sorcerer, and uniquely call upon the power of his mother if need be at the discretion of his mother of course. This not only allows him to perform magic that might take normal witches years or decades to learn but perform them with amplified power and efficiency. More so than even other Demi-gods, Alexandros will undoubtedly begin a line of witches that are immensely powerful starting with his grand children. 

Although Alexandros isn't limited to any specific kind of magic, he is most often utilizing protective runes which he has tattooed on his body and often put on his clothing too. These runes often hide his location from magical tracking, trigger preemptive healing, and reflect or dampen magics cast upon him by enemies. Prefers to utilize the element of water more so than others and utilizes telekinesis more than any other psychic ability. Often utilizes powerful illusions to aid him in combat from cloaking himself to making it appear like he is someone or something else or appear to be many. He can conjure his enchanted bow and quiver when needed so not to require carrying it around everywhere.

Like other demi-gods, his physical capabilities are greatly enhanced. He has inhuman strength, speed, agility, durability, recovery, and endurance. He can fight efficiently with demons, veteran werewolves, elder vampire, monsters, fae and various other supernatural beings with equal footing under the right circumstances. Alexandros calm and calculating nature and habit of never acting impulsively but analyticallyinstead allows him to devise sound tactics and strategies even when under stressful conditions. It also allows him to make decisions to best fulfillthe goals set fourth without letting attachments or sentiment interfere with the planning process. 

Alexandros is a skilled combatant. He has been taking Judo and archery lessons since he was a kid. His brain like most greek demi-god children is hard wired to understand and recognize Ancient Greek. He does understand and can speak limited Latin which is centered around spells. Alexndros has an enchanted bow, courtesy of his mother, each arrow can harm most supernatural beings being imbued with an innate magical power to cause harm thanks to the runed bow the arrows are shot from. The arrowheads are silver and the bows are soaked in holy water. His quiver is enchanted to prevent any arrows from falling out even when conducting acrobatic feats or being attacked or attacking.


Weaknesses:
When Alexandros uses his magical abilities it takes mental and spiritual concentration and effort if not already prepared such as his runes. It also takes a mental, spiritual, and physical toll to cast major spells or many minor ones. Over exerting himself causes problems ranging from headaches to migraines, physical exhaustion not unlike playing an intense sport to running a full marathon, and spiritual draining that interferes with him accessing his magic and using it properly. If pushed past his limits Alexandros can fail to perform the magical feats he intended, have them be successful but diminished greatly in power, pass out, and even temporarily cut off for days from using magic. 

His physical and magical abilities require fuel beyond just spiritual power. Alexandros must be properly rested, nourished, and physically capable to effectively utilize his gifts. Alexandros has developed a habit of refusing to rush head on into a situation he didn't know all the variables to or wasn't properly prepared for. He likes to formulate well planned out strategies and if forced to change tactics on the fly often waits until he has properly analyzed the situation. This can lead from time to time to Alexandros adapting too slowly to fast changing situations.

SOME ARE MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE...

Rp Sample:
There was allot riding on this mission. This was the closest they had gotten to the demon Alex's father had been hunting for almost 3 decades now. The last year had been intensely focused on this moment as Alex's father was informally already retired as Sheriff, just some last documentation and turn over procedures left, which gave him much more time to hunt despite pushing 60. Alex had tried to convince him many times to move on but that always lead to a fight. Alex could not really understand exactly why his father refused to move on, finding it hard to believe that his passed wife would have wanted this life for him. But, he tried his best to put himself in his fathers shoes having lost a wife and a child and finding no justice in what happened.  Alex approached what appeared to be a sort of church, it wasn't suppose to be there however as far as he knew, and Alex could feel a darkness from it.

Alex went to work casting a spell and having his team create a perimeter with hex bags that would channel his spell and prevent the evil inside from escaping. After he was done he had his team move in from the back while he took the front with his bow and arrow ready and raised. He silently looked for any traps and moved quietly into the building. It appeared to be somehow bigger on the inside, he wasn't sure if that was just because of the architecture and darkness or if it was supernatural. Within a couple minutes Alex heard the screams of his team, swiftly Alex made his way to the source, but didn't run in immediately instead deciding to access the situation entirely assuming it was a trap. Despite being told not to rush in regardless of what they heard, Alex's team was not so lucky. They themselves heard the screams of what they though were Alex and rushed in to help.

The first member in stepped on a plate that shot a paralytic needle into his arm. The second guy in moved to help his team member distracting him from the dagger that was flung towards him, the second member took the blade through the eye as he looked up too late. The third and last member now seeing the trap went to move backward into the hallway they came only to find there was no entrance way there, it was all a big wall. The demon then showed itself as a partially naked young women covered in blood. A sinister smile was held on her face as her blood red eyes seemed to pierce into the mens very souls. The men raised their rifles that were filled with rounds specifically made to hurt and trap demons but they were flung out of their hands. The men themselves had protective tattoos and jewelry to protect them but they didn't anticipate something as simple as the demon dispatching just their weaponry. 

Alex then made his move seeing the demon distracted and knowing it would want to take its time toying with the men. He lined his shot up perfectly then let loose his arrow. As the arrow was about to strike the demon, it instead shattered a mirror, Alex surprised began looking around only to see the place was riddled with mirrors. Alex reactivated one of his protective runes on his arm but it didn't seem to help, he wasn't sure why he was being effected, his magic should have protected him from such simple trickery. Alex felt a presence behind him, turning quickly as he drew another arrow and prepared to release the last thing he saw was red eyes then blacked out. When he awoke, he was tied to the first member of his team that was paralized. Before them were the two members he tried to save, they appeared to have been skinned alive.  The demon mocked Alex for being so foolish but applauded his ability to prevent her from getting into his head.

The demon laughed playfully anyway, remarking how long it had been since he had encountered such a talented witch, and how rare it was for one to become a hunter. It told Alex not to struggle and that it had taken measures to ensure he couldn't use his magic to escape. This gave Alex some ideas, it appeared the demon didn't quite understand that Alex was more than a witch, technically he wasn't a witch at all. He just needed it to get close. It wouldn't be long before his father tried to intervene as well, especially with something like this, Alex had to get things under control before his father got himself killed. Alex began taunting the demon right back "You know why you can't read my thoughts? Because you are weak. Took down 5 measly hunters, big deal, obviously you are pretty far down on the totem poll of demons. How pathetic your kin must think of you." Alex chuckled provokingly.

The demons grin quickly faded. Rage replaced its enjoyment and she walked over and prepared to backhand Alex. With that Alex conjured one of his arrows into this hand as he used his Demi-god strength to force himself out of the ropes used to tie him, and just before getting knocked across the room Alex manage to plunge the arrow under the demons jaw and into its skull. Alex looked up only to see a fiery red light then a small explosion, then nothing. Alex checked on the other member of his team but it was no use, what ever had happened, it incinerated half of his body. Everyone on his team was dead and Alex wasn't even completely sure the demon was killed or something else happened. Although his father took Alex's report to meant he end of the Demon and a success, Alex wasn't so sure, and the loss of his team hit him pretty hard. Alex went to his apartment to get some sleep and reflect on what happened, perhaps his mother could help him find answers or at least peace.
