IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Alit
Age: A couple thousand give or take, appears 13 in human form.
Canon: Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal (note: Uses dumb names along with all other links)
Canon Point: Post episode 86
Species: Barian
Gender: Male
Orientation: Alit is clearly portrayed as bisexual in canon (as much as one alien life form can be anyway), initially displaying considerable interest in the female lead. Who he then drops like a hot potato for the main character.

History: Alit & Barians in general

Appearance: Human form & Barian form
Fairly short, the shortest of the Barian Emperors, but physically he's also the strongest, due in part to the fact that he was a gladiator in his past life. He adheres to a pretty rigorous training routine that not even his fellow Barian, Gilag, can keep up with. Therefore he's incredibly well built for his apparent age. He has an olive complexion and only slight less ridiculous Yugioh hair than normal. Brunette, short and flips up at the ends with his bangs covering his right eye. His eyes are bright green but his left eye will change to red while dueling allowing him to to witness the ar vision of duels in Zexal. He dresses pretty normally but also wears a number of gold rings.

Back home he's just your typical, red, mouthless alien with weird horns and all kinds of clashing bling

Personality: As one of the seven Barian emperors and thus a villain in the series, Alit comes across as somewhat unique. On one hand he demonstrates dedication to the mission of the barians. On the other, that doesn’t stop him from getting mixed up in the affairs of the protagonist in ways that might call question to his loyalty. The fact is that Alit is the sort of character that tends to follow his heart. Alit often acts quickly and sometimes rashly, only stopping to reflect on his actions in the aftermath if he has cause to do so at all.

On the other hand if Alit finds something boring or not worth his time, he may show an inclination to just disregard it. He comes across as having the least conviction of the Barian emperors at times. He finds it annoying when their leader asks him to do any work he doesn't find worthwhile and he doesn’t display much interest in the affairs of his comrades either with his presence completely absent for large periods of time. In spite of this indifference, he still has enough pride to take these responsibilities seriously, not unlike a soldier that acts out of duty more than an absolute faith in his cause.

He really comes around when he finds something that appeals to him, whether it’s some person or goal to strive for. When he sets himself to a task he doesn't let anything get in his way until he accomplishes it or, occasionally, something distracts him away from it. He duels Yuuma at least four times in the series, more than almost any other character, due at least in part to the rivalry he decides that they share. Whether motivated by duty or passion, he exhibits unbridled persistence and determination to see it through.

Though he occupies the role of villain, Alit also possesses a strong sense of morality. He’s completely rejects the idea of using underhanded tactics or cheating, going so far as to take a stand against his own comrades and protect Yuuma and his friends when he feels they get caught in a trap. For him, a fight doesn't mean anything if it's not carried out honorably. His pride as a duelist means more to him than his status as a Barian. Furthermore, he's the sort of character that is interested in far more than just winning. Which is not to say winning isn't important to him but it's equally important that two opponents have fun in a duel and give in their regardless of the dire stakes they are fighting over.

Alit is also the sort of person that invests himself wholeheartedly into a task which means he feels his losses just as hard as his successes. Sometimes this is used to fuel his determination but it can also come at a price. Under the influence of Don Thousand, the Barian god, Alit is turned against Yuuma, proclaiming he hated him after a previous loss which was clearly not the case at the time. This incites a great deal of anger and increased obsession and eventually leads him to forgo some of his morality -- although not all of it -- in order to seek revenge. He reacts impulsively to these feelings and it isn't until he loses again that he is forced to confront the confusion and pain brought about by his actions. Unfortunately this development was left without resolution up until now.

For the most part though -- certainly from when he will be pulled in to HH -- Alit is the sort of character who acts honorably and respectably with a certain measure of pride to boot. One of the most intriguing aspects of his character is that he never allows the juxtaposition of his duty to the Barians nor his interest in their enemy to bother him. He's loyal to both but rather than worry about any conflict, he just deals with trouble as it comes, living moment for moment and enjoying himself as best he can.

Abilities: Alit is an adept fighter. He's incredibly fit and can out pace many of the other characters in the show physically (he literally punches one of the guardian spirits into submission when everyone else would have just dueled it okay). In his past life he had a reputation as a gladiator that survived to the modern era. He only ever fights with his bare hands, even against armed opponents. In the show we see him training far more often than sparring but he style seems to be a mix of boxing and martial arts.

Aside from that he has Barian powers which are mostly pretty vague.
Have a list:
[x] Teleportation via portals, including travel between the Barian and human worlds
[x] Shapeshifting between Barian and human form, requires a high energy environment like the Barian world or a sphere field
[x] Increased tolerance to pain
[x] Mind Control to varying degrees
[x] Activation of card effects outside of a duel

It's is unclear whether these later two powers are really his or those of Don Thousand though. They would also be completely irrelevant here and I doubt he'd even try to ask for any of them back.

Other: He uses boxing puns when he talks sometimes. It's pretty lame.

SAMPLES
First Person: Alright, before we get started, let’s get one thing out of the way. The name’s Alit and don't you forget it.

[He gives you all a moment to let that sink in. Yep, he’s pretty nice like that.]

Now, I think I’ve got the basics down. This is some kind of new world like the human world. I guess I can accept that. And we’re stuck here for the long count because some weird guy out there thinks we’re better off playing house than dealing with important shit where we belong. Pretty cheap shot if you ask me. And annoying but I guess it could be worse.

[Expelling a small huff, he slumps back in his seat. If it seems like he’s taking their rather well, there is a reason for that.]

What I really need to know is how to find this landlord jerk. No one can tell me and apparently he’s the only one that can get my deck back. Seriously. What kind of duelist would I be without one? We may be stuck here but that's no excuse to lose focus. I made a promise and no one's gonna get in the way of that.

Note: I hadn't really read the rules thoroughly when I put up this log so I know there are some discrepancies. I am aware of them now |D
