Alexander Lowell (Earth-210/Dimension 13)

Alexander (Alex) Lowell is the main male character of Duplex Tribulatio and a mutated Human from the planet Earth.

Appereance
Alex is a 16 years old boy of average height for his age. He has a pale white skin and grey eyes. His hair was originally Auburn in color, but changed to wait due to various substances that were injected in his body.

Alex wears an open, dark-purple and red jacket with white fur lining around the collar. Underneath he wears a white dress shirt with a black tie, a pair of black pants and sneakers whose colors matches his jacket. His Arc-System takes the form of two black and red gloves.

When Alex use his special abilities his eye color changes from grey to red.

Background
Alex was abandoned by his bilogical parents due to his unnatural ability to control techonology. He was sent to a special orphange that takes care of kids with abnormalities, but was soon moved to the "Special Power Laboratory" that used kids from the orphanges as test subjects for various experiments. There Alex gained his secondary ability that allowed him to manipulate space and in the course of this traumatic event that leaded to this power Alex's hair turned from red into white.

Sometime later after various incidents that happened in the laboratory including an attempt for a jailbreak the institute had been shut-down due to leaks of information into rivaling countries and dangers for the internal security.

After living on the streets for some time Alex eventually meet Avice and befriend her. Soon after, both of them were taken in by an organization called RANK and were given a guardian, although he was never at home.

Neither Alex or Avice were social, so they spent most of their time inside their shared room, playing video games. The two wanted to make money through professional gameplay videos, but ended up making them with more of a comedic purpose, due to how bad both of them were at most of the games that they played.

Personality
Alex is laid-back and collected, retaining his composure even in awkward and possibly dangerous situations. He is a cold and arrogant person who shows little regard to the lives of those around him, unless it's about Avice, in which case he would go to hell and back.

Alex lacks the heroic, good-nature that make a hero and has a hard time believing others. He views himself as a cruel and unstable person, and is afraid that one day Avice is going to follow after his steps, showing a degree of self-loathing for not being a better role model. Even so, Alex will occasionally swear and will not hesitate even if it is towards Avice, despite her young age.

The most noticable trait about him is his open hatred toward the rest of humanity, believing that all of them are stupid, lowly creatures, whose extinction would be the greatest thing to happen after the Big Bang. He believes that Avice and himself are the only human beings that have some sort of worth, though he also shows to be less strict toward other mutants as they are "one step above" the rest of the species.

Despite that, Alex's biggest strength is his cold-headed attitude and his ability to read people. That's to that he's extremely manipulative, seeing no problem in controling others like puppets, or sacrificing them to reach his own goals.

Alex believe that the Universe would be best if there was a single person to pull its strings, and shows disgust at the mentionce of the word "rights", saying that those without power and authority deserve nothing more than to be treated as tools.

Arc-System Code: Diablo
Code: Diablo is an ancient artifact created by a species called by others, The Elder. Diablo is part of the Arc-System Network which including hundreds of different Arc-System Codes with different abilities that were created as tools to fix Dimension 25. Unlike some other codes Diablo acts as a transformation matrix that holds the DNA of 10 alien forms inside. The device, in a way, acts as a symbiote that bonds to its owner's nerve system and brain, allowing it to help out by keeping the user alive and stable. Diablo is also one of the few codes that had been created with a build in "Assault Mode" that allows it to change its form into a suit. This feature is of vital importance because it weakens the side effects of Alex's spacial distortion ability.

Skills and Abilities
Although generally not much different from other humans' Alex's natural ability as a technopath allows him to mentally control electronic devices, both terrestrial and alien, but only as long as he is touching them. Even then, his ability is incomplete as he doesn't have the knowledge of how to decode the programming of the machines in order to control them, which is why most of the time he needs Avice's help for that.

Some time after being taken into the "Special Power Laboratory" Alex obrained the ability to disord space which allows him to create "cracks" with various effects. According to him this new ability continuously evolves and becomes stronger, though he still struggles in using it correctly due to not having the required senses for that and because his brain isn't able to calculate the cracks at a fast enough speed.

Spacial Distortion Techniques
Despise Alex's lack of control over his spacial distorting ability, he has been able to develop a few techniques.
 * Void-Out: The most basic and used technique allows Alex to tear space inside-out which causes objects that are within the targeted area to explode or get torn apart in a gruesome fashion. This ability has evolved the most during the years as the range that it can affect has widened from just fifteen centimeters to a meter and a half. Still, a crack can stay open for more more than three seconds.
 * Void-In: The opposite of Void-Out, this technique lets Alex create a zone that sucks in everything including particles and light before exploding. This skill is highly unutilized due to the possibility of creating a Black Hole.

Weaknesses
Outside of the standard human weaknesses Alex due to the chemicals he has been injected with as a kid, he has extremely low stamina and immune system.

His biggest disadventage is his own spacial distortion ability. Due to the fact that his body isn't suitable for this power there are a huge number of side effects it has on his body. Other than than when used for too long the ability can cause several other problems like: internal bleeding, manic state, loss of consciousness, fatigue, reduce of his lifespam, incurring organ damage, heart attack or even instant death.
