Alex Zodiac

Alex Zodiac was a Frostwalker, adventurer and a pirate that joined on September 9 2021 during the Tortuga's second expansion. As a Frostwalker, his only weakness is the heat, so he always carries around an ice cube around his head or powdered snow in the nether and the desert. Currently, he is the Captain of Pahonja, a region of Tortuga

Tragic beginnings
At the start, Alex was a simple young hunter that lived in a cave with his grandma. The cavern was thought to be somewhere in Frostmarch. Sadly, his parents at the age of 3 so his grandma took care of him since their death. He had the simple life of fishin', farming and walking in across snowy hills. Life was perfect for him... until one day, at the age of 12, Alex and his grandma were travelling across a snowy tundra. Suddently, it started snowing. They were lost in the woods and as they tried to build a shelter, the old grandma (which was 80 at that time) couldn't move any longer, thus freezing to death. Alex cried tears of ice. Somehow, the boy didn't feel the cold. He always liked it. Now, after his granny death, he hated it. After the snowstorm was over and found the way home, he buried her grandma near the cavern.

A new home
After getting supplies, some tools and fishes Alex left the cavern, that in this tale will be never mentioned, ever again. He walked and walked, until he arrived to the sea. "This is perfect! I can leave this frozen land for once!" he thought. After a few hours of chopping trees, crafting and testing he made a boat. And thus, he sailed. He rowed and rowed, once fell off, then got on it again. Until, after a long journey, he found land. However, the expectations soon dropped: the isle was as cold as Frostmarch. "GOD, IS THIS WORLD ONLY SNOW?!?" he screamed angrily. He made a campfire, put down his bed, tried to count the stars and after the thousands he counted, fell asleep. The morning later, he got woken by someone's voice. "Who are you?" said the voice. Alex opened his eyes, scared of what he would find. A woman with pink hair, a black coat and light blue eyes, similar to the color of the calm sea. He got up quickly, scared. "I-I'm Alex" he slowly said. "Hello Alex, how did you reach this isle?" "I.. rowed with a boat." "Where do you come from?" "Somewhere in Frostmarch" "I see, you have done quite a bit of a journey. I'm Palajan Watubad, welcome to Pahonja Isle."

The first problem
The place was a wintery isle between Sorligste and Cymru. As the months passed, Alex soon got better gear, tools, ate new food, drank new drinks and tasted the alcohols on the shores, with the sea on one side and the frost on the other. He then started recruiting people that would pass on the isle, that were lost or exiled. People like Tectelion and Mixzzt became from wanderers to recruits, from recruits to friends. Made adventures with Palajan, toured the Cymru's coasts and explored Frostmarch. After returning from a trip to the capital of The March, Erovald, he saw Tsalja (the town that he lived in) getting plundered by some soldiers. Alex went to investigate and talked to the leader of that small group o' 3. "Who are you?" The soldier quickly grabbed his sword and hit him with it once, and made a small cut on the legs. It hurted. Blood was spilt. Alex replied, gasping: "I'm Alexander, and you shouldn't be 'ere! Why are you ravaging this land!?" "This is ours now, surrender now or my army will come here." "Surrender? Never!" Alexander ran to his house, put on his gear and ran quickly at his opponent, swinging his diamond sword left and right. The other 2 ran away, and the leader said: "It's official. My army will come here" and sailed away. Alex decided to take all the members stuff to make sure they would not get stolen and decided to head to Atopolis, a town in the southern Sorligste which he heard was very rich of money and people. After walking on roads, he found his way. Shark, the owner of the town, gave him a house for the time being in Ato.

The war
After a few days, he received a letter from Palajan telling the date of the war and 2 netherite ingots as a token of gratitude for moving all the member's stuff to safety. So, it happened. The day of the war, with the help of mercenaries and Pahonjaun members, the town was freed. Although the mass looting that occurred (All the library's books, a heart of the sea and mass destruction) the town was saved. Alex decided to start making a wall for safety measures, as he never knew if another war was ever gonna happen.

Baptisation
A few days later, he decided to explore more of Sparwood, the biggest continent in Rathnir, as he didn't know much about it at the time. As the start, he explored Eisenland's southern towns (Eisenburg and Balhurst) and headed further north. There, he met Egizzo in the capital of the nation, Maxstadt. The new friend brought him to Fislankif, the Eisenland's vatican town, and baptised him in the name of the religion Gisdalfgoda. He discovered who he was, a Frostwalker, and his patron god who protected him since the start was, Eis, protector of Frostwalkers and Northfolks. It was Eis that made Alex survive in the cold the day of his grandmother's death. After those revelations, Alex decided to head back to Pahonjau, where he continued to expand the town and live a chilly life.

Scar days and... death?
As the months passed Alex accumulated a bit of money out of mining, fishing and exploring. One day though, when he woke up and looked at his reflection in the water he found out something was odd: a cold light blue scar and light blue eyes. How did that happen? After the discovery of who he was, he became closer and closer to a Frostwalker and was becoming an ice living being. Alex was scared. The scar expanded on his body as the days passed and thus, one day, he went to Tectelion's house in Atopolis while covering his face and, after many tears fell off, he showed him his face. Tectelion was surprised, noticing the eye colour change and the scar.

After bringing Tectelion to his house in Ato, Alex ran up the stairs to the last floor. When Tectelion arrived, Alex stood on the border of the house. The friend already knew what was about to happen, he tried to stop him but was too late: "It's the only way to get this scar off, it's corrupting me, it's making me what I don't want to be!" After those last words, Alexander jumped off the edge and watched Tectelion with a sad smile, while falling to his demise.

As Tectelion went back to his house to bury the corpse, he heard a silent whisper, similar to Alex' voice: "Find Egizzo, get me back to the world of living..." . After a long journey, he found Egizzo and brought him to the Atoan Church. A humble sacrifice of food, berries and diamonds was made and a figure appeared on the window: Alexander, still with the even more grown ice scar. While he was revived, Tectelion was looking at the fire and as the voice of the god Mortus pulled him near the heat, he said: "The scar isn't gone... Mortus shall be my patron. This is the only way". He then proceeded to jump in the fire, in front of the other two folks that would never see him human, again.

Pirate
After Tectelion's sacrifice, the ice scar would never grow again but would still remain on the Frostwalker's face and body. Pahonja would expand and recruit more players and get wealthy. One morning a merchant would arrive at Pahonjau and after a bit of trading he mentioned of going to Tortuga Isle, the capital of Tortuga, to do some fine trading with the pirates. Alex would ask him for a trip there for some money, and the merchant accepted. The journey took some hours, but the place was astonishing: Alex met there the Pirate Lord Ulifer and started a training to become a pirate, because he was inspired of that sea life. Palajan would arrive later to meet the Pirate Lord and, by listening at the door of the Captain's Brethen Court, he would hear the conversation: she was gonna retire as Captain of Pahonja and giving her seat to Alexander, as thought to be her right successor.
