  Go for it. Please note that if you are a supernatural creature, there will be an opt in below


• mental contact
  
  You know, I have no idea how psychics work on a preternatural. It's fine. He's not a nice guy to get into the head of. He'll offer quite the resistance.


• fighting/injury
  
  He's been trained from the age of 5 to hunt and kill supernatural beings. He's also trained in the martial arts and is prone to fighting dirty. That said, go for it. Just don't expect it to be an easy fight


• death
  
  talk to me about it first

  There will be an opt in/opt out for his abilities

MISC

  fighter, marksman, inventor, hunter, investigator, also a preternuatural whose touch cancels out supernatural bullshittery.


• canon point
  
  June 1850. He's about to go after a werewolf.


• shipping prefs
  
  Alessandro is opportunistic. Male, Female, and non-binary, it's all good in his book. He, however, won't do anything without consent.

OPT IN/OUT

Alessandro is what his canon refers to as a Preternatural. He was born with the ability to neutralize supernatural abilities through maintained contact. Canonically, if he touches and maintains contact, he renders supernatural creatures such as vampires and werewolves to a fully human state. In short, he negates absolutely all supernatural abilities: genetic, magical, or otherwise and turns a supernatural creature into a baseline human (they would still maintain any skills or knowledge they possess. For example, if he grabs onto a skilled fighter, they are still a skilled fighter. They just don't have super strength or speed anymore.) For ghosts, touching their remains sends them off to the great beyond.

The theory behind the ability is that nearly all beings produce aether or soul. Those who produce a normal amount of aether are normal human beings. Those that have too much become werewolves, vampires, or ghosts. Those who don't produce any at all are preternatural. Basically, the amount of aether one produces is equal the amount of soul a person has. As someone who has no "soul", Alessandro basically removes the excess upon touch. It is an ability that requires direct physical contact that must stay connected. He can't just poke a supernatural creature and turn them into a person.

We don't know how this works on other beings (IE: Mutants/Super Heroes, Witches/Wizards with innate magic, Gods/Demons, Robots/Constructs), but we do know that being submerged in water inhibits the ability.

This is where the OPT IN/OPT OUT comes in. As a player, you are more than welcome to say that his ability doesn't work on your specific sort of vampire/werebeast/cthulhu monster/shounen protag/Alien. Or you can opt in and say that it does indeed work, or even if it only works for certain aspects
