Name: Alec Derring
Date of birth: November 2nd, 1988
Age: 18
Birthplace: Countryside outside the town of Belfast, Ireland
Height: 5"7
Weight: 114 lbs.

Appearance: A lanky punkster from Ireland, he wears the signs of any "delinquent" teen. A pair of faded jeans torn at the knees and sleeveless t-shirts sporting any punk band that happens to be his "idol" at the time are always worn. His mohawk (shaved it 'imself!) is a frill of hair down his shaven head streaked with purple and green interchangeably, a striking contrast to his steel grey eyes. He wears heavy combat boots, and a different mixture of spiked bracelets and chains each day though his eyebrow piercing and chin stud are his favorite accessories.
Personality: Alec is sly and enjoys causing trouble. Though he dramatizes a tough and defiant exterior, he would rather avoid fighting altogether. He doesn't like speaking of his mother much but shows no restraint when telling tales of his father's drunken antics to anyone who asks. He's not particularly intelligent or educated since he dropped out of school and never really enjoyed reading, but he has a good head on his shoulders and a kind heart deep down inside.
Likes: Drumming, punk/metal bands, "Jam sessions", his hair, gummi bears
Background: Alec lived in the confines of a quiet community for most of his life. The Derring family weren't particularly wealthy individuals, one of the reasons why Alec's parents separated when he was 5 leaving his father in full custody. Living in his father's basement, the rowdy 17-year-old soon began to disrespect his father and dropped out of school at an early age to pursue a career in music.
Alec soon began taking influence from the local bands that would play in the pubs of neighboring towns at night. Rough, loud and generally disorderly, Alec was enthralled with the idea of a lifestyle in a rock band and soon took up drumming. With dreams of finally leaving home to pursue his 'talent', the easily-influenced teen spent his days with his drum set and his nights at the pubs.
Former occupation: Aspiring drummer, school drop out.


Themesongs:

Tiger Shark
Galeocerdo cuvier

Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
SubPhylum: Vertebrata (vertebrates)
Class: Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish)
Subclass: Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays)
Order: Carcharhiniformes
Family: Carcharhinidae
Genus: Galeocerdo
Species: cuvier or cuvieri

General knowledge
The tiger shark has tiger-like markings on a dark back with an off-white underbelly. Pups have spotted markings that grow together to form stripes that fade with maturity.

Physiology
Tiger sharks have a special gill slit (a spiracle) behind the eyes that provides oxygen flow directly to the eyes and brain. It also has a very good sense of smell, electroreceptors sensitive to electric currents in the water, and keen eyesight.

The teeth are very serrated (saw-edged), razor-sharp, and curved. The teeth are the same in upper and lower jaws. They are located in rows which rotate into use as needed. The first two rows are used in obtaining prey, the other rows rotate into place as they are needed. As teeth are lost, broken, or worn down, they are replaced by new teeth that rotate into place.

Tiger sharks grow up to 20 feet (6 m). On average they are about 10 feet (3 m) long.

Diet and Feeding
Tiger sharks will eat fish, turtles, crabs, clams, mammals, sea birds, reptiles, other sharks, and just about anything else that they can catch alive.

Behavior & Reproduction
Tiger sharks are solitary animals except during mating. They reproduce via aplacental viviparity; the young of tiger sharks are born live in litters of between 10 and 82 pups. Gestation takes about 9 months. At birth they are 20-30 inches (51-76 cm) long and are completely independent.

They do occasionally attack people and are greatly feared.

Habitat
Tiger sharks venture from the water's surface to depths up to 1,200 feet (340 m). They aare found in tropical (and subtropical) waters worldwide and in some temperate seas. They inhabit both the shoreline and open waters, ranging perhaps up to 500 miles.

Rando facts:
- Tiger sharks swim at an average speed of 2.4 mph (3.85 kph). They can swim in fast bursts, but can only sustain these high speeds for a few seconds.

Water vine
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Genus: Phytocrene

Type of growth: Liana
A liana is a woody climber that starts at ground level, and uses trees to climb up the canopy where they will spread from tree to tree to get as much light as possible. Lianas are especially characteristic of tropical moist deciduous forests and rainforests. These climbers often form bridges between the forest canopy, connect the entire forest and provide arboreal animals with paths across the forest.

About:
-Climbing shrubs of Asia and Africa, the stems of this plant are singularly porous and when cut stream with a limpid potable juice.
- Classified as a "woody" vine species, they are fast-growing and prefer environments rich in CO2.
- Due to their lack of leaves, it is often difficult to determine the true source of any particular vine as they tend to grow to great lengths, entwining trees and other plants in the forest canopy

Not much else is known about this species of vine.

Killing Machine on the Island for Alec
To the tune of Anarchy in the U.K ~ by the Sex Pistols

Bite! Now ha ha ha...

I am an Irish freak
A shark and plant with razor teeth
Don't like the blood smell
But it drives me crazy
I wanna destroy all meat I find

But I don't wanna be a killing machine
I'm in no hurry

Anarchy plays in my head
Why does Jamal want me dead?
Freakin Zach gives me a snack
Now I'm on a date, what could esculate?

'Cause I don't wanna be a killing machine
In the village

How many ways can you f*ck up a plan
I'd rip Moreau
From head to toe
The b*****d's so god damn mean
I'll bring him anarchy

But I don't wanna be a killing machine
It's not what makes me

I Just wanna be an Irish kid
And hang about with ol man Sid or
Be close to Amaya
And live with a sis like Nita
One day, you will see, i'll be free
(When I start island anarchy)

I don't wanna be a killing machine
And I don't wanna be a killing machine
(F*ck you Moreau!)

But I find that I am a killing machine
(There's Moreau, destroy!)
