Name: Alexander Neal Rivera
Nicknames: Alex, Xander, Hey You Shut Up
Age: 18
Birthday: October 5th
Sign: Libra
Blood Type: O+
Fav. Food: Barbecue chicken burgers with bacon and cheese
Hated Food: Peppers and onions on pizza. In fact, any sort of vegetable on pizza. It’s just wrong, man!
School: Hillworth
Hobbies:
Video Games:
Ever wondered where Alex's allowance money goes? When it's not used at the arcade, it disappears into buying the latest and (sometimes not so) greatest of video games. If there's a game out there, he's probably played it. Or at least watched someone play it -- even if he's out of cash, there's a 90% chance that he can be found at the arcade after school loafing around, unless he lands himself in detention.
Then you can find him there after he gets out.
Clickityclickitybeep:
A true screenager at heart, Alex loves technology. When his thumbs start hurting from playing video games, he hops onto the computer and surfs the web, becoming a true cyberslacker despite the protests of, "I'm looking at this stuff for schoooool!"
YouTubilliionare:
As much as he loves video games, he doesn't play them constantly or run around dressed as a character from one. Instead, Alex attempts to make videos... that look like video games. Got a good test score? Flip the paper over, do a dramatic drumroll, flip it up and cue a victory theme! Do bad? ...Well, there's always the tuba from The Price is Right show that begs to be used.
Just Add Duct-Tape! When it comes to electronics, Alex has a knack for fixing them... To a point. If it happened to take a wild journey through the wash and squashed by a passing bus, the most Alex could do for it is put it in a shoe box and give it a decent burial. But if it just went through the wash, Alex might be able to repair it long enough for it to get replaced by means of frankensteining other parts to it. Alex tends to think outside the box, and often tries the unexpected in order to get the results he wants. In a way, he’s an aspiring MacGuyver, however he has more failed results than the legendary 1980s secret agent. That doesn’t stop him, though!
Gemstone: Opal
Virtues:
Hopelessly Optimistic -- Things seem dark or dull? Alex will always try to twist things around in order to put a positive spin on things. He'll even stoop down to cheesy puns and cliches in order to look at the bright side of life and turn those frowns upside down.
Concentrate, and that's an Order! When given a task, Alex will finish it... eventually. Reliable and determined to make a good name for himself, he'll do anything within his power to be liked. Amazingly, he'll focus on it until it gets done -- sure he'll get distracted every once in awhile with something shiny, but he'll always wander back to projects in order to get them done. Hey, nobody's perfect, and even if the table he just threw together is lopsided, you can't deny that it's a table. Besides, you never specified you wanted it to have a stable flat surface. :c
Flaws:
Talkative: Hey did you hear about that one guy named Alex? Yeah! If you start talking to him then good luck trying to get a word in edgewise. Seriously! Once he starts he doesn't stop, especially if you get him started on technology! Oh, and do not mention games to him! You'll never get a chance to talk and it'll start grating on your nerves so much to the point where it just goes on and on and on and on!
But y'know, you should really try listening to him sometimes if you can. You'd be, like, really surprised at the stuff he knows! Like I totally have his password for his YouTube account which is also his e-mail but then he changed it before I could log in, and that he let slip the backway into the arcade so we can totally sneak in later today and get in for free!
tl;dr: Alex is talkative. One he starts, it's rather hard to stop him again. If you can manage to outlast his drivel, he lets things slip -- passwords, phone numbers, who hates who... Oh, not to mention secrets and plots. He's a bit like an old villain who describes to the hero his master plan before attemping to kill them, only to have the hero run off and foil his plan.
Subordinate: Alex prefers to follow orders than make them. If he's ever in a position of power, he'll either quickly toss leadership to someone else or issue confusing orders. That is, if anyone can make out his orders, given how often he chatters. It doesn’t help that he often feels overwhelmed with the prospect, dissolving into babble before someone else takes the lead.
Physical Description:
Hair: Short and fluffy, and rather messy. It's dark chestnut in color with copper-colored streaks. Or highlights – whichever is easiest for the artist. :3
Eyes: Brown.
Face: Oval, and there's always a grin or smirk plastered on it. When he's playing a video game in front of people, he puts on his "concentration face" which requires his tongue to be sticking out of the corner of his mouth and eyes narrowed, all for dramatic effect.
Body: Lean, scrawny, and built to run. He may not be the best athlete, but he’s an average track runner.
Fashion: Alex prefers comfort over fashion. Sneakers, baggy cargo pants (complete with his cellphone, a small video camera for emergency YouTube clip gathering, and a hand-held game system), a hoodie (usually tied around his waist), and a t-shirt that usually has a statement or logo written on it, either from a popular game, internet meme, or just something he thought looked cool. Which, coming from Alex, might just happen to be a shirt that looks like a glitter-happy pixie threw up on.
Most of his t-shirts also look out-dated, given his spending habits. The truth of the matter is that Alex makes most of his clothing purchases from either second-hand stores or flea markets. It turns out that trading shirts and video games for more clothes and other games is actually pretty useful, even if Alex ends up with some questionable articles of clothing...
Thankfully, Alex doesn’t have a lot of this. A good portion of his wardrobe is based around the Hillworth school uniform: khakis, plaid pants, vests, long-sleeved shirts – stuff that’s innocent and folded neatly on top of his drawers. Rather than hide his colorful shirts beneath them, Alex hides his flashy clothes inside the acceptable clothes in order to fool the dorm patrol at Hillworth. He won’t see his clothes lighting up the bonfire, thank you very much!
Besides, those lacy clothes that someone snuck into his trade at the flea market? Alex enjoys planting those in his classmate’s sock drawers. Ahh, revenge for lunch money thieves has never been sweeter!
