Full Name: Alexandria Teslania Praeceptor

Species: Human

Gender: Female

Age and Place of Birth: 33, Ursius

Appearance:
Olive skin, dark gray eyes with a twinkle, and a long, beaked nose. Alexandria has very full lips that are more often than not curled upwards in a curious smile. A mess of unruly black curls bounce atop her head, usually tied back with various colorful scarves, depending on what she feels like that day. She stands at 5'8", with wide hips, but a smaller chest.

Alexandria's dress depends on what she's doing that day. If teaching or doing research, she generally wears white or sand-colored bustle skirts, light blouses with short sleeves, and a brown under-bust corset. When in her workshop or needing to do something that might get her hands dirty, Alexandria switches the skirt for pants and generally wears darker colors.

She has an elaborate tattoo depicting intricate, realistic-looking clockwork. It stretches across her upper back to halfway around her neck and down her left upper arm.

Family:
  • Father: Arnius Alexandrius Teslanius Mechanicus (alive)
  • Mother: Nicolina Teslania (alive)
  • Brothers:
Should you be interested in playing a family member of hers, please message me and we might be able to work something out. I'm especially interested in having one of her brothers to write with!

Friends:
N/A

Enemies:
N/A

Love Life:
Non-existent - there has been the odd teenage flirt every now and then, but never something that could be classified as 'love'. Alexandria does not seem to particularly want for one, either.

Likes:
  • Machines
  • Theater
  • Organized mess

Hates:
  • Drunkards
  • Utter chaos
  • People taking credit for the work of others

Fears:
  • Rampant fire
  • Death
  • Snakes

Strengths:
  • Eidetic memory: Alexandria has an absolutely exceptional memory. Practiced from childhood, she is able to recall images and texts extremely accurately. This has earned her the nickname 'the walking library'.
  • Delicate fingers: Although actually creating machines is not her main profession, Alexandria has the hands to tinker with small-scale models and fine machinery.
  • Artistic: Alexandria has an eye for detail, a sturdy hand, and a practical imagination that allows her to draw accurate schematics rather quickly.

Weaknesses:
  • Scatterbrained: A lot of information takes up a lot of space in her mind, and sometimes, she forgets where she's going, or mixes things up.
  • Socially inept: A lover of books rather than a lover of people, Alexandria isn't always sure how to act when having a normal conversation. Strangers are treated like her best friends, and people she has known for years are never told "congratulations" on their birthdays.
  • Physically weak: Having gone to Schola Lorem Ipsum, she never really received any military training aside from what little she had when she was still very young - and the only lifting she does is primarily stacks of books.

Weaponry and Gear:
Goggles: Usually worn atop her head when not in immediate use, the goggles allow Alexandria to more closely view the finer intricacies of machinery.

Training:
  • Engineering: Although she never excelled at building machines, she was always better with cogs and gears than with sword and shield. She was sent to Schola Lorem Ipsum, where it was later discovered that while she might never be a master builder, she definitely had the talent to be a master engineer - or at least good at inventing things that could possibly be carried out by someone else later.
  • Drawing: Self-taught, it began as coal sketches and evolved into elaborate pictures. Over the years, she has decorated the walls of her chambers near Schola Lorem Ipsum, and designed her own tattoo.

History:
Born in Ursius to a simple mechanic as the only girl and third of four children. From an early age, she took a great interest in what made things tick. Her eldest and youngest brother both went to Schola Bellicus, while her and the second eldest brother went to Schola Lorem Ipsum. Here, she got her chance to shine, quickly forgetting about her brother who had otherwise been looking a bit out for her. He was, compared to her, academically unremarkable.

Her two other brothers went on to join the military as foot soldiers. One of them eventually got to pilot a mechanized unit. Unfortunately for him, there were issues with the pressure of the steam that powered it - and it exploded.

Over the course of the years that led up to her graduation, Alexandria gradually withdrew from her family, retreating into her own mind. She grew into a lonely young woman who rarely socialized with anyone outside of class, and only rarely visited her old home in Ursius. One of her professors took notice of her gift for explaining things to her fellow students, and she went on to get a part time job as his assistant - doing relevant research, finding the right books, etc.

At the age of 28, she was asked to take over the weekly lectures of her professor. During the rest of the week, she is working on improving the Atlygaean military as an engineer. What she really dreams of, however, is to try to utilize steam for transportation to hopefully knit the countries closer together.
