Character Profiles: Alpheus the Weasel
From my Twitter profile on him:
Name: Alpheus the Weasel
'Verse: Mobi/Sonic-verse
Alignment: Social-Good(-ish)
"S'up dude? ...What, you expected a thunder god who acts serious and professional? Oh man, you actually thought that? Dude, you got the wrong universe then!“
Alpheus the Weasel, on his face, seems like a guy that has just a bit of an irrational obsession with lightning, ...and being stuck a few hundred years or so in the past. I mean, plate armor, heavy leather gloves and robes is a thing you can just buy in certain places, right? If you did think this, and you also ignored the funny looking gold markings on his fur, and the Pikachu-like tail, then you don't know the half of what's going on with this guy. Alpheus, you see, is a bona-fide thunder god, immortality and all.
With a home hidden away in the clouds, myriad thunder and lightning-based powers, including but certainly not limited to accelerated reflexes, and being able to teleport and fly at high speeds, the latter assumed to be a result of magnetic force manipulation, this rather silly, but unassuming at first appearance, weasel is a real force to be reckoned with. Other strengths not directly derived from his powers, include being able to summon a hold-able lightning bolt that doubles as both a sword and spear.
His other main skill is hand-to-hand combat. It probably doesn't come as much of a surprise when you consider his magic-accelerated reflexes, but he can give the best fighters a run for their money, not so much maybe in terms of strength, but definitely in terms of sheer speed.
Weaknesses, where they could be expected of a character like this, mainly derive from his memelord, total goofball/unprofessional attitude, and things he simply doesn't know how to operate, namely firearms of any kind, or vehicles, that would likely wind up wrecked if he attempted to use them. (His reflexes would be too fast for the vehicle!) If one does "kill" Alpheus, the victory would be short-lived, for his body would just collapse into magic energy, to fully regenerate itself again within hours to a couple days.
Finally, it should be noted that he is in fact the prime ancestor to Nack and Nick. (Although those two do in fact have "regular" ancestors too)
((Bear in mind this character is probably not balanced well if you decide to RP with him! I wasn't sure how to fully do that while remaining faithful to the fact that ...well... he's a literal thunder god. Be sure to read his headcanon, or this profile thread, before deciding if you still want to plot with him involved. I know some people are more tolerant to that sort of thing than others, so..))
