ALEX
The Terrarian
The Terrarian
QUOTE: "Trust me. With either clever problem-solving, careful preparation, overwhelming force, ancient artifacts or epic magic... there's no problem that we can't solve."
Real Name: Alexandra Miller
Age: 23
Other Aliases: Al, Allie, Lex, The Champion, The Netherwalker, The Vanquisher of the End, The Slayer of Chtulhu, The Conqueror of the Primordials, The Savior
Occupation: Miner, Farmer, Craftswoman, Inventor, Sorceress, Summoner, Adventuress, Heroine
Marital Status: Single
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 138 lbs
Eye color: Green
Hair color: Orange
Species: Mystically-Enhanced Terrarian Vampire (Legacy User, Ultimate Being?)
Used Legacies: Ki User, Super Mario, Yuki clan Kunoichi
Notes: Alex has pale skin, slightly pointed ears and retractable elongated canines, due to her vampiric heritage. Since her species is actually natural and living as opposed to some curse, illness or undead nature, she does not suffer from the vast majority of vampire weaknesses and vulnerabilities, nor could she 'turn' someone into a vampire through biting them, as one is either born into her species, or isn't. Additionally, she may consume normal beverages and food as normal, although blood tastes positively delicious - and is very nutritious - to her species.

Block Manipulation: 8
(Int.bonus)
-A strange ability connected to Alex's original universe, allowing her to create, shape and manipulate blocks with her bare hands. More details below:
- Block Constructions (As Manipulate Blocks. Using blocks obtained via her Block Transmutation ability, read below, Alex may construct almost anything she imagines with said blocks. She can then either leave them as they are, or use her Block Transmutation again to return her creations to normal, while retaining their new form/purpose. This allows her to build almost anything as long as she has the materials to do so.)
- Block Mimicry (1 stone/panel to activate/maintain. As Transform Self, into a blocky-like version of herself; has no other effects than the visual look. Alternately, may combine this action with Close Combat to turn a target into a blocky version of themselves for up to 1 hour, or use 3 stones for the same result if they are willing.)
- Block Repairs (By using Block Transmutation, read below, Alex can remove a damaged area from an object, vehicle, structure and/or material in block form, reinsert it, and return it to normal. Doing so will leave the formerly damaged area good as new and fully repaired at no additional cost.)
- Block Stacking (1 stone/stack created. Alex is able to combine up to 64 blocks of the same type into 'stacks', which essentially allows her to have 64 blocks take up the space of a single one, so she could store 64 cubic meters of, say, stone, into a space of a single cubic meter.)
- Block Transmutation (1 stone/block. Alex is able to reshape matter, liquid and even some forms of energy into 1 cubic meter blocks form as long as she has enough of the target material to fill up such a volume, and vice versa. For example, she could reach into sand, and draw out a semi-solid 1 cubic meter block of sand with her bare hands, or grab a bunch of wood and form a cubic meter block of solid wood with it. As long as she has enough of it, she can make a block out of it, and return it to normal later.)

-Genjutsu (As Create Illusions; Substitution jutsu [when used for this purpose, this action shifted into defense allows [if Alex manages to evade damage altogether] the user to 'change places' with a nearby object or person located at less than 30'. That object/person receives the attack instead, and the relocation allows Alex to attack from an unexpected angle the next turn.])
-Fuuinjutsu (As Hammerspace; Can also be used to seal creatures, objects, chakra, etc. within other objects, creatures, etc. Atk VS Durability to separate a Tailed Beast from a Jinchuriki, and Atk VS Durability to seal a Tailed Beast to create a Jinchuriki.)

Magic: 8
(Int.bonus)
-Efficient
-This action represents Alex's vast knowledge of the occult and mastery of multiple forms of powerful magic. It allows her to perform multiple effects and powers, described below:

- Illusions (As Create Illusions, and the Illusions option of Telepathy.)
- Necromancy (1 stone/corpse to raise normal zombies and skeletons from available corpses; for a maximum of 10 skeletons/zombies at once per AN in total. Alternately, may raise a more powerful undead, retaining their A/A/Ms but being undead and loyal to her, at a cost of the victim's Durability or Intellect, whichever is higher, with up to AN such beings existing at once.)
- PSI (A form of 'magic' relying on science and extensive knowledge of the world, allowing one to craft 'spells' via combining elements, laws of physics and mathematics into complex equations allowing them to manipulate one's environment using C.A.Ds, or Casting Assistant Devices, which resemble... a semi-auto handgun, giving a new meaning to the term 'gunmage'. Any other type of spell can be used via this, though the spells have to be created in advance and loaded with the CAD as bullets would be, up to AN different spells at once.)
- Sorcery (As per the Action Sorcery itself, covering most of what other schools don't, given all the spells that Alex knows.)
- Summoning (As the Action itself; Summons are always loyal to summoner. Available options: Angels, Animals/Beasts/Bugs/Birds/Fish, Demons, Dragons, Elementals, Giants, Giant Beasts/Bugs, Goblinoids/Orcs/Ogres, Golems/Colossi, Monsters, Mythical/Legendary Creatures, Plant creatures, Spirits, Undead)
- Thaumaturgy (Magic mostly related to the creation of mystical items, trinkets, charms, wands and the like via use of one's survival, exploration and crafting skills. Closely related to her Enchanting action.)

- Voodoo (As the Action, allowing for Sympathetic Magic using something, be it object or part, with a strong connection to the target to make up for long distances.)
Esper: 6
(Int.bonus)
-Efficient
-Reflects Alex powers as an Esper, the name given to people with psychic powers in her universe. While she has still much to learn in that domain, Alex's skill at telekinesis is unquestionable. Includes:
- Telekinesis (Wpn.modifier, Efficient, 2x damage, Area Attack/Effect, Fine Control.)
- Telapathy (Read Minds, Subtle Commands, Telepathic communications)
Flight: 8
-Via Ki Control
Super Form (Nightwalker): 6
-Adds +1 to Str, Agl, Spd, Dur, Ref.Dodge, Toughness, Ki Defense, and all Energy/Magical/Mental Actions (if approrpriate; GM's discretion), except Kaioken and this very Action; +1 to Power Level per 3 ANs, with stones in-between adding to Energy Battery
-Each 3 ANs = One form. (AN 3 is Duskwalker, which turns the user's eyes red, their hair lenghten, 'turns on' their fangs, and makes their aura flare up wildly. AN 6 is Nightwalker, which appears as Duskwalker, but also makes their eyes glow in the dark, darkens the user hair greatly, makes their skin paler, and adds in black streaks in their aura. AN 9 manifests as Nightwalker, but also turns the user's hair and irises black as night, their nails turning somewhat sharp and their aura now mostly dark with hints of its original color. Finally, AN 12 - Midnightwalker - brings about a demonic transformation, the user's ears turning batlike, growing batlike wings, claws, and a forked tail, their features more demonic and eyes completely black as opposed to only the iris, and their skin turning porcelain white.)
-Heals 1w of Health and all Energy upon transforming to a higher level form
-Inhuman/Repulsive Form (Only in Midnightwalker form at AN 12.)
-Maximum AN (No vampire of Alex's species has ever reached a higher level than AN 12, which is believed to be their ultimate level of power.)

-Minimum Power (A vampire must have Power Level at MN 3 or higher to buy this transformation.)
-Requirements (Must drink the blood of a sentient being until they die in order to unlock this action.)
Creative Mode: 12
(Int.bonus)
-Efficient
-This power (and her ability to create Legacies and Souls) is why Alex is sometimes referred to as an 'Ultimate Being'. It is very much a divine power from many different viewpoints, although it has its limitations. Still, when active, there is essentially nothing Alex cannot craft, in the blink of an eyes. It includes the following:
-Boundless Creativity (Allows Unlimited Creation, manipulation and destruction of most anything which could be found/crafted in a Minecraft/Terraria world, including grass, earth, trees, rocks, minerals of all sorts, lava, water, wood, tools, pieces of furniture, food, objects of all kinds, etc. Destroying objects is very easy and fast; 1 mere stone is necessary to destroy any object that could normally be created with this power or her other abilities. As for Creation, it allows her to build anything via Technology/Crafting or Inventing/Enchanting regardless of whether she has the materials to do so, and ignoring the normal limitation of 'X stones per day, of the latter as long as Creative Mode is active.)
-Landscape/Buildings (Can be used to make larger structures in less time than creating every single block one after the other. User will normally pay for the most valuable/complicated material's value in use, and then for the area to create a given structure/landscape. Duration of creation varies as per GM's call, but usually takes at least 10 minutes/Area AN.)
-Summoning Mobs (As the Summoning action, but can summon 1 monster/stone spent regardless of Durability from within the Minecraft/Terraria Universe, theoretically without limits. Summoned monsters can be either helpful to, ignore, or be hostile to the summoner, as per the summoner's wishes. Alternately, she can also summon beings from the same universes from which she can create Legacies; see Inventing/Enchanting, below.)
-Goddess of Minecraft/Terraria (The user, in Creative Mode, is virtually unkillable and all-powerful in the Minecraft/Terraria Universes, becoming Invulnerable to all attacks in those world. At GM's discretion, she may also be invulnerable to creatures from that Universe when not in it herself. Additionally, she does not need to eat, sleep, drink or even breathe in that Universe, and never gets tired.)
-Flight of Creativity (Grants user Flight at 1 at no cost of Energy; can hover in mid-air or move around as needed.)
-Extreme Blockiness (Anything created by this power has an unusual, rather blocky appearance, although it does not affect its usefulness/standard properties. For example, even a blocky sword can cut things as a normal sword would. Additionally, Alex is able to turn them into normal looking versions using her Block Manipulation powers.)
-Entering Creative Mode costs her 1w of Health/hour of use, which must then be healed normally regardless of her powers.
Horsemanship: 6
-May also ride other animals
Explorer: 7
(Agl.bonus)
-As Thieving/Survival
-Stealth
-Search room/area
-Mining
-Fishing
-Survival
-Live off the land

Technology/Crafting: 12
(Int.bonus)
-Smithing/Fletching
-Gunsmithing/Ammo Making
-Accessories/Jewelry Crafting
-Glassblowing
-Architecture
-Engineering
-Explosives
-Gadgets & Devices
-Special: Knows how to craft multiple special items/technologies, such as special arrow/bullets types, automated redstone machines, mystical structures, golems of various types, wings/elytras, Shulker boxes, Monster spawners, waystones, boss/events summoning items, AIOTs (All-In-One Tools), Legacy Devices, Totems of Undying, mystical artifacts, etc.
Inventing/Enchanting: 12
(Int.bonus)
-Souls Crafting (By combining accessories/items/artifacts and so on that she creates/finds, Alex is one of the only people in the Multiverse capable of creating 'Souls' - not sentient living beings' souls, mind you - which are special, extremely powerful artifacts granting formidable powers to any wielder. A Soul basically grants formidable power and near-reality warping abilities related to a given domain. For example, a Berserker Soul would make its user a near unstoppable engine of pure might and destruction. A Tyrant Soul would make its wielder capable of exerting their will upon others with frightening ease, dominating almost anyone else they come across. And so on. Ultimately, combining those Souls, Alex is even capable of creating the 'Soul of Eternity', which would combine all of their powers and make their wielder essentially wield the power of a greater cosmic entity with near-limitless powers. In game terms, when creating Souls, she can use the full sum of this Action's AN + her Intelligence to set the maximum AN/MN of her inventions, which will cost her 1w of Health which must then heal at the normal healing rate regardless of her powers and skills. Creating a Soul of Eternity would require 20 other Souls to be combined together. Such a feat has only been completed once, when Alex herself faced the Supreme Calamitas, an eldritch abomination of absurd power, and she has destroyed it since her victory.)
-Legacy Crafting (As Imbuement; Can imbue Objects/People, Can have more than one object/person imbued at a time, Imbuements are Permanent; Must pay for Imbuements as per Inventing. Alex can craft 'Legacies', which require special devices/altars/other to allow her to manifest the effect either in a person directly, or into an object which can then be used to gain the powers/an object relevant or related to the Legacy. A Legacy is basically a set of powers - possibly including transformations - belonging to beings from other universes, which she is able to give onto others for them to use, including herself. She can create Legacies from the following universes: Marvel, DC, DnD, One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball, My Hero Academia, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Star Wars, Godzilla/Kaiju, One Punch Man, Touhou, Horror Icons/Classic Monsters/Slashers, Mushroom Kingdom, Metroid, Lord of the Rings, Final Fantasy and Castlevania. She could learn to create Legacies from other universe, but each new one costs +1 CL.)

(Int.bonus)
-As Witchcraft, but all effects are made in the form of potions as opposed to spells
-Requires 5 minutes of work per AN of the highest factor of a given potion, be it the Effect, Duration, etc.

Stand User (Weather Report)
-Power from the 'Jojo's Bizarre Adventure' universe; manifests a muscular humanoid mass of clouds with a pair of eyes with vertical stripes on them, surrounded by thick mist or miniature clouds. The being wears a face mask-like structure with spikes on its head, and knuckle braces on its hands. The Stand cannot talk, is fully loyal to Alex, and may only be seen by Stand Users and Stands, and hurt by Stands. He is always present by Alex's side.
-Enhanced Vision 6 (Alex can see through Weather Report's eyes)
-Any order she gives Weather Report receives a 2 stones bonus as per Leadership, regardless of whether or not she has the action, without need to spend stones for it
Stand Survival
-Alex is powerful enough to survive her Stand's destruction, removing a Stand User's greatest potential weakness. A User with this modifier suffers no ill effect should their Stand be defeated - other than the loss of the Stand, of course.
Wealth: 10+
-Essentially owns countless and immeasurable riches, and her Creative Mode allows her to easily access more if she ever needed to.
-Gains $10 billion per issue/month
-Currently has: $1,000,000,001,050
-NOTE: 1 Copper = $1 USD; 1 Bronze = $10 USD; 1 Silver = $100 USD; 1 Gold = $1,000 USD; 1 Platinum = $10,000 USD
CHALLENGES
-Psychological (-2; fun-loving and simple. Alex may have been a heroine at times and the savior of her entire world, but she really prefers a simpler life focused on enjoying it and the little things out there.)
-Psychological (-1; humble and modest. Despite her near unequaled genius, unrivaled skills, powerful magical abilities and downright godlike crafting/inventing/enchanting talents, she prefers to see herself as just a girl like any other and not some sort of special being worth worshipping or adoring. She'd much rather have friends than followers or servants.)
-Psychological (-1; battlethirst. Despite her friendly, cheerful and peaceful demeanor, when the time comes to fight... Alex LOVES it. She is a devastating fighter when she needs to be and she knows it, going into battle without hesitation nor fear when it is unavoidable.)
-C.T.S.U.F.U (-3; Alex is a good person in general, and a heroine at heart. She would certainly go out of her way to help someone in need.)
-Prejudice/hatred (-2; people who abuse their power and/or treat others poorly without good reason.)
-Sunlight Vulnerability (-2; suffers -1 to all Actions under direct sunlight; while not unholy, cursed creatures of darkness who burn up in the sun like most vampires, Alex is still a member of a nocturnal species which finds direct sunlight uncomfortable, annoying and irritating.)
-Special vulnerability (-3; a Stand is part of its user, and damage suffered by one will reflect on the other. If one loses a leg, so does the other. If one is defeated, so is the other. However, regardless of the difference of Health, Alex is too powerful to die if her Stand is killed, and if one of them takes more damage than the other has health, they will only lose consciousness, not die.)
EQUIPMENT
-Currently Worn: Black tank top, blue jeans, white open front labcoat, striped necktie, and protective goggles
-Smartphone
-Steel Sword (+2; kept in a sheath at her belt.)
-Steel C.A.D (A regular yet reliable Caster Assistant Device for using her PSI magic. Provides no bonus nor penalty. Alex favors it for its simplicity. Currently has no spell equipped, though.)
RESERVE EQUIPMENT (Kept in Hammerspace)
-Brown leather heeled boots
-Absolute trucktons of magical and more conventional items, weapons, armors, artifacts, ingredients, materials, and so on, and so on, from her combined Minecraft/Terraria modded universe.
-Infinity Die (A ridiculously potent, yet unreliable artifact of cosmic power. The Infinity Die appears as a golden 6-sided die, with small gem-like dots representings the 1 through 6 numbers, each with a color equivalent to an Infinity Stone. Basically, the Infinity Die can potentially do anything an Infinity Gauntlet could, but its effects are completely random; although they tend to favor the user somehow... MOST OF THE TIME.)
-Picnic Basket
STORY: Alexandra Miller, or simply Alex to her friends, is widely known across her homeworld as their Savior, the 'Ultimate Being', their Champion. She is the one who destroyed the Moon Lord, Cthulhu, the Ender Dragon and the eldritch abomination known as Supreme Calamitas, the one who conquered the End, and who mastered the Netherworld, the one who ended the cycle of the Blood Moons and the zombie apocalypse plaguing her world. She is, they say, 'The Terrarian'.
Of course, if you ask the girl in question, she'd simply roll her eyes. "I'm just Alex", being her typical response, along with a shrug. As far as she's concerned, those things simply 'had to be done', and she simply happened to be 'the one capable of doing it' at the time, and anyone else with an ounce of decency would have done the same in her situation, so she saw herself as nothing exceptional. Of course, almost nobody in the know could possibly agree to that given all that she's done, but that's another story.
Before discussing whether or not she is legendary, a good first question could be 'what is she'. Unbeknownst to many - given that they look very similar at first glance - Alex is actually a vampire. Not a typical 'got bitten, got turned' vampire, though. She literally comes from a humanoid species of living vampires, no more unnatural than elves or beastfolk. She has vampiric abilities, but none of the 'religious' weaknesses due to being neither unholy, nor an undead, nor cursed. She does dislike the sun, though, because her species are nocturnal.
Which brings us to the legendary deal. Unsurprisingly, despite what she says, she truly is. Alex is a fantastic warrior in general, as well as the strongest sorceress in her own universe, although she doesn't realize that and thinks there must be others out there who are stronger than she is. However, those abilities pale in comparison to her TRUE power.
As it turns out, Alex is potentially the most powerful, talented and skilled craftswoman/inventor/enchantress in the multiverse, barring a few exceptions. She can not only create almost anything she can think off, but she has access to a near-divine creativity state, called 'Creative Mode', allowing her to craft complex objects and devices in mere moments, as well as manifest permanent matter into reality at will. Furthermore, she is capable of crafting Legacies, and Souls. Legacies being superpowers, artifacts and powered items from other heroes in entirely separate dimensions to use for herself or others, and Souls being incredibly powerful artifacts granting formidable abilities to their wielders, up to creating the 'Soul of Eternity', arguably the most powerful artifact ever created.
This last creation is precisely why Alex thinks she's not that special, however, because she defeated the worse threats to her world using it. So from her viewpoint, it's the Soul's power itself which was amazing, not her own. Opinions, opinions.
