< Character Name: Alexander Stark Romanov
Played By: Eko Domini Tsurugi
User Image


Basic Statistics

Real Name: Alexander Stark Romanov
Alias: Alexi or Shadow is his code name.
Age: Appears Eighteen, actually twenty seven
Gender: Male
Nationality: Russia/United States
Race/Species: Mutant Human
Current status (marital/dating): Single
Police/Criminal/Legal record: Alexi has been blacklisted by multiple countries as he has performed multiple assassinations for Russia, the United States, as well as the United Nations. He has been a key in the overthrowing of multiple governments and has a kill on sight decree on his head. Riots, wars, and massive uprisings have been caused by Alexi himself and internationally he is a famed criminal and supposed terrorist, while only the United States, Russia, SHIELD, and the United Nations knowing that he truly is a ghost op agent, himself high in the hierarchy of governments.
Occupation: Assassin, Political Agent, Mechanic, Scientist, Interrogator
Title/Rank: None
Hobbies/Pastimes: Listening to classical music, working on projects and/or studying, honing his skills, tempering his emotions.
Talents/Skills/Powers: Talent wise, Alexi is one of the most knowledgeable and most unreadable characters ever. Considering his father is a world renown genius while his mother is one of the most deadly and knowledgeable assassins in the world, he himself holds an almost superhuman mind. His talents range from battle plans to simply analyzing an opponents capabilities and weaknesses while taking advantage and defeating them with it. Flexibility is another key feature in his repertoire as well as perfected balance and freakish reaction time. While training in Soviet Russia at a young age, Alexi's handlers would call him a contortionist of the extreme, himself capable of bending in sickening shapes. He holds the capability of walking on a thin metal bar with no problems while he can easily see the muscles twitching in the arm holding a gun and move quickly, if not calculating the distance, thus allowing himself to literally snag a bullet or block with a sword.
Alexi's powers are diverse. From his parents, he inherited sheer intelligence as well superhuman capabilities in strength and mental prowess. But since he was also genetically engineered in Russia as a fetus, he has had multiple genomes placed into his DNA. Samples from Hulk, and Nightcrawler have made Alexi into a genetic abomination, as he calls himself at times as well as many people in governments with the capabilities to find out exactly what Alexi is. Originally, Alexi held a mutation of his own. These involved two large bladed dragon wings and a dragon's tail, with his own nails being made of a razor substance unknown to modern man, the same going with his teeth. He could evolve into a large dragon esque creature or simply become a human dragon of sorts, choosing between the two that held control of a source of black electricity. But with the addition of other genetic contributions, he took their abilities, or rather his genome did, and contorted them to his own brand of powers. From Hulk, he holds freakish strength, not to the extreme of Hulk but strength strong enough to crush bones with a strong blow, crack the surface of a building and make it shake, and to perhaps pick up a small car with a good amount of effort and strong skin durable from small pistols to semi-automatic weapons, but not capable of stopping energy based attacks. His strength allows him to leap from place to place but without the collateral damage Hulk is used to. And from Nightcrawler, he obtained a sense of teleportation and acrobatics but the teleportation limits him to the use of shadows. This meaning, Alexi can use shadows to move from place to place, a.k.a. the Shadow Realm but for long traveling, the Shadow Teleport actually takes a while because Alexi must enter the Realm and search for the Shadow he desires to exit and if he is to cross the world persay, the trip would take him a couple of hours. Stress from the Shadow realm makes him weary in long distances. But in fighting, he can easily exit and be spat out by shadows for when he sees a shadow, he can use his shadow to teleport to that spot. He also has the abilities to use the shadows as a weapon, as to impale a foe and so forth.
Alexi is also an expert marksman and swordsman.

Background Story: Alexi was born from Black Widow during her tenure under Soviet Russia. He was born from Stark's seed and Widow gave birth but then was told that Alexi had died after labor but actually was taken to a Soviet lab. But while he was in the womb, he had multiple genes placed into him and for most of his childhood, he was trained and abused by Scientists, like a lab rat. One day, his actual mutation awoke and he killed and destroyed the entire lab facility, the Soviets taking him down and finishing his training, making him one of their own assassins while hiding him from his mother. Eventually, he allowed himself to be taken by the United States and became a double agent, himself being granted a secret gift of adamantium and carbonadium blades, one of a kind weapons that can only be used by Alexi as they react to his specific genetic code, allowing the blades to be picked up otherwise shocking the one who picks it up, generally to death. During his work, ranging from Desert Storm to multiple other assassinations, he ended up becoming a top official in both political and United Nations affairs, himself earning a blacklist in their supposed most wanted but that is only for show. Other countries have him on their own Most Wanted list. But then he quickly defected from Russia and like his mother, changed loyalty to the United States. Even now, he goes about doing government work while going on a personal quest to put an end to those heroes and villains that effect the world he lives in, to make the world safer, he tells himself while searching for his supposed family. At the age of eighteen he became a member of SHIELD, once again another Ghost Agent that doesn't always appear with SHIELD sometimes acting as opposing...he has his moments where he acts like his mother.

... This character... is well-thought-out in some respects. I'll give you that. But... the concept is something some noob would belt out. One already did some time ago, when I first joined the guild.

He's an assassin, a genius, a spy in the governments of the US and Russia, is wanted in a bunch of countries, participated in Desert Storm... and he's only 18? You do realize Desert Storm was over 20 years ago? That is so illogical it won't even work for this guild unless he's travelled through time. Right now the guild's present time is more or less 2011-2012.

And let's not even go into his powers. He's got the strength and durability of the Hulk, Nightcawler's teleportation, and the breath attacks of Godzilla?! Dude... Just, dude. It doesn't matter whether they're toned down or not-- the fact that he has them all in the first place is unacceptable.

I don't mind the relationship to Tony and Black Widow, as they have been love interests... but adding all of what you put on top of what he inherited from his parents is absolutely unacceptable. Saying he's high up in governmental hierarchies when he's not even old enough to buy drinks in America is also unbelievable.

If this guy is such an important agent, why is he not in SHIELD? That I can totally see. But all this other stuff about his tenure as a political agent has to go, I'm sorry. Ditto in regards to everything involving those mutations of his. This is so over the top: it really needs work. Age him up, say he's from some alternate universe or timeline or something-- anything to make this character a more believeable person. I mean, one of my characters is the current Deputy Director of SHIELD, and she really worked for nearly three decades to get to that position; ditto for her husband, who's been in SHIELD for just as long and hasn't risen that high yet.

So here's what I'd suggest: This guy's aged up by at least ten years and has been in SHIELD for about that long, starting when he was eighteen. You can keep the training, the genius-level intellect, and the other stuff he got from his biological parents, but all this other stuff is just... No. Can't accept it. Please, alter the bio and make it more up-to-date-- and give him a name that is actually Americanized or something. The son of an American and a Russian, with a Japanese name? Really, dude?

Perhaps my specifics were not truly played out. His age plays out on the fact that like his mother he ages very slowly, so his appearance is eighteen. His abilities well, once again my failure to explain pans out. His strength is greater, but not hulk strength and his durability can only resist up to perhaps small assault rifles. Nightcrawler's teleportation...it is really not. For short distances, he is capable of emerging from shadows in the area as the shadows are close and he can specifically target that certain shadow. But in long distance, Nightcrawler is instantaneous while Eko actually has to travel in the cross dimensional realm to find the certain shadow portal in which to jump through. In essence, he is actually traveling and gets weary if the distances are great. And the breath attacks well, that's more or less from his original mutation, I have no clue why I put Godzilla down. It is more or less just a beam of heat but that can be easily be removed. I was working on this character late into the night while watching Godzilla...so I put idiot crap down from my wear. Actually, Eko is not even Japanese, it is something I made up. But I do feel your point, my mistakes while not in the greatest number are drastic by circumstance. I apologize for the newbie like way I have created this. More or less it was from excitement that I even found a guild like this but I digress. Again, apologies.

I understand completely about the excitement deal. Still, specifics or not it might be considered a bit... overboard to have all those things at once. So I still advise removing those, except maybe the breath attacks since that's natural. The strength provided by Black Widow's genes would, in my mind, be sufficient for him, and with his enhanced speed and agility, I see no reason for teleportation.

As for the physical age and whatnot-- his physical age may be eighteen, but he also has a chronological age. I for example play as Captain America; in the profile I made for him, I gave a physical age (in his twenties) and a chronological age (in his nineties). You should make sure you put both ages down.

Now that you've explained the age thing in greater detail, it makes more sense for him to have done all that he did... though I still think he should be a SHIELD agent, and not a pseudo-anarchist/spy/assassin/etc... since not only does it make sense for someone like him from a career standpoint, but it would also be one of those "following in his parents' footsteps" things. Not to mention in this guild, SHIELD is in dire need of personnel after the Hulk destroyed the Helecarrier... Long story. So in a compromise, we can say that he served the USSR for a while like his mother, but later defected maybe, instead of being a double agent and causing chaos across the planet's governments.

The Adamantium and Vibranium blades are... Well, I'm iffy on that. Adamantium is very expensive to create after all, and the latest known usage for it in the guild that I know of (not counting characters like X23 and Wolvenom) is for my character Paragon, who is the son of the two SHIELD agents I play as. I'd advise removing those as well; Carbonadium would be a cheaper, efficient substitute for either material, for example. And also, the name thing still stands for him.

And I too offer my apologies-- my initial wording of my critique was rather harsh, since I'm blunt like that, but after some advice from a friend I toned it down a bit so that no-one would get upset.

EDIT: You did some of that stuff already... Lulz. My bad.
PostPosted: Tue May 29, 2012 7:51 pm


Well...the thing is he's an experiment more or less. The teleportation makes him an even quicker assassin, easier for Russia, the United States, and so forth so they don't have to pay for transportation...he goes there on his own. The breath attacks will simply be a lightning/fire mixup with his original mutation. I've edited the bio and the powers. The blades, well...he was a prized prospect by countries, so Adamantium would have been worth the cost and well...Russia always has a little of something so I believe they'd have a trace amount of Vibranium but I can replace the vibranium with carbonadium.

Good points. Well, as long as you use the powers responsibly, I see no reason why you shouldn't have them. So, you may now start; personally I recommend starting here. It's the SHIELD base following the destruction of the Helicarrier. At the moment, since Nick Fury's getting some well-deserved rest, we can say that my Deputy Director character is in charge of what few agents have reported in; the whole [Enter from (Blah blah)] and and [Exit to (Blah blah)] thing is something I can get kind of lax about...
