IN CHARACTER
CHARACTER NAME:
(331845739494) Alec McDowell.
While Alec was never originally given a last name beyond his number designation "X5-494," he was named by Max another transgenic who'd escaped from Manticore originally eleven years prior with a squadron that all decided names for each other. She suggests the name Alec as in, smart aleck, to which he concedes that he's fine with living up to his name quite sardonically. Max rebuttals with, "Good, because my second choice was Dick." The last name was given to the character by one of Dark Angel's writers whose favorite actor was Malcolm McDowell. It was never revealed in the show that this was, in fact, his chosen last name like Max's prior choice of "Guevara," after Che Guevara. In the writer's commentary for, "Designate This," it is said that Alec was originally conceived as being like McDowell's character Alex in A Clockwork Orange but instead adapted otherwise.
Alec has used aliases as an assassin or while remaining undercover outside of Manticore to help him better function and to keep his transgeneticism a secret. He was Simon Lehane, which was used under the false pretenses of being a piano instructor when assigned to assassinate Robert Berrisford a Manticore subcontractor who'd become curious as to the program and what it entailed. Monty Cora is an alias he used while posing as a cage fighter in the inner city after Max jeopardized the military base and they were forced to burn it to the ground, ultimately leaving all of the transgenics and anomalies, including him, to fend for themselves in populated cities. The name "Cash," is one he used while posing as an illegal interest businessman swindling people for more than just games of pool and earning himself a wealth that supported his permissive ego. Obviously, in his twenty or twenty-one years being a Manticore operative and assassin there are bound to be more but these are the three that we know for certain.
CHARACTER AGE: Unstated, the X5s and their timeline insinuate that he would be twenty or twenty-one.
CHARACTER CANON: here
CANON POINT: 2x18 ("Dawg Day Afternoon") to start with and then CRAU from the sex dystopia Duplicity where before his arrival, to Saltburnt, he'd be sequestered for punishment at a retreat for wayward dominants that had a similar vibe large estate etc. He will be confused and not entirely convinced it's not another one of Duplicity's tricks.
ABILITIES:
Alec is a genetically enhanced and engineered human trained into adulthood by an underground organization called Manticore. The term used by the facility and those working against them is transgenic, and despite looking human for all intents and purposes, that is only skin-deep.
As is standard with X5s (and partially shared with the other transgenics), he has many superior physical traits, including:
• Enhanced strength, speed, agility, reflexes, durability, stamina, and coordination, including the ability to jump extremely high.
• Accelerated healing with stem cells and metabolism, which makes it very difficult to become drunk.
• Enhanced eyesight, which allows him to see perfectly in the dark and selectively zoom in on objects from great distances, and hearing.
• Enhanced immune system—all transgenics were made immune to all common bio-warfare agents.
• Eidetic memory.
• Genius level IQ.
Although he appears to be an ordinary human (except for the bar code on the back of his neck that's genetically encoded into his DNA), he possesses extraordinary physical strength, able to overpower a man three times his weight, his reflexes are superhumanly fast, and his eyesight and sense of hearing and smell are extremely acute, which, along with his training, would make it very hard for someone or something to catch him by surprise.
He can leap great distances vertically, allowing him to jump over a barbed fence, and is capable of sprinting at extreme speeds allowing him to blur, making it very difficult for anyone to catch him on foot, except another transgenic.
X5s have enhanced night vision, to the point where they can see well in very little light, and telescopic vision, allowing them to selectively zoom in, and view objects from a distance.
All transgenics have a high number of stem cells in their blood allowing them to have extremely high regeneration rates. However, if an X5's organ becomes extremely damaged, such as a bullet to the heart, it has to be replaced and can only be replaced with an X5 or bio-mechanical substitute. All X5s are O-negative blood typed and are universal donors but can only receive from another X5.
Their metabolisms are extremely high, thus making them almost completely insusceptible to alcohol and possibly poisons.
X5s are very dexterous and have extraordinary agility and coordination and advanced lung capacity, allowing them to perform complicated acrobatic and gymnastic maneuvers that would be very difficult for a human, with ease. The X5s were also designed to be physically attractive.
In addition to his superior physique, Alec possesses a genius-level I.Q. and problem-solving skills. He is very gifted at assessing people and situations, which makes him highly adaptive to change and able to learn and mimic with extreme speed and accuracy.

SURVEY
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND? WHAT IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO WEALTH?:
Alec didn't have wealth growing up, obviously, but he knows what privilege is and how to manipulate it. After Manticore blew, he slid into cons and odd jobs for funds or shaking down the local hustlers. Making bets on himself in fighting arenas, anything to sustain a more lavish lifestyle in the hellscape of an America that had been brought to its knees by warfare.
WHAT WOULD/DID YOUR CHARACTER MAJOR IN?:
Business and Economics. If he hadn't been through psy-ops training and made into a government assassin.
WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR CHARACTER?:
falling in love the entire con with Max totally fucked up his life and what he'd been accustomed to, and her annoying sense of morality made him look at things a bit differently for the first time in a long time. He's not the same paragon of his people the way that Max is, but it unearthed memories he'd had buried since Rachel Barrisford and forced him to come to terms with the side of himself that was more than a weapon.
