Name: Alexis Brecht
Nicknames+Alex
+Al - He hates this one, since it sounds so...unrefined! Nerds have standards too, especially Alexis.
+Mini Bach - This one is due to his dedication to composing eclectic, energetic Baroque style music and near unhealthy obsession with organs. He secretly loves this one.
Origin: Germany
Age: 17
Birthday: March 31
Sign: Aries
Gemstone: Aquamarine
Blood Type: AB-
Physical DescriptionHair: Slightly shaggy, platinum blonde hair.
Eyes: Pure blue eyes, Alexis is very much the Aryan boy. Wears big round glasses.
Face: Typically wearing a stern expression, though there's a bit of fluster to his eyes and lips like he's always on the edge of embarrassment. His face is oval with very delicate, feminine features, much to his dismay.
Body: Rather pale and lean (not bone thin or anything, he eats right and runs regularly) and stands at an awkward 6'0". Very long fingers, ideal for playing the organ.
Fashion: Alexis dresses very formally even when he's just out with friends or on his own. Dress slacks, button up shirts, and blazers tend to be the norm. Alexis owns very few t-shirts and shorts. The ones he does have are solid colored and typically used when he goes jogging. He also owns a few pairs of blue jeans, but they tend to be woefully unused.
Hobbies+Composing - Alexis is probably most consumed by his love of composing music. Give him any type of paper: napkin, sticky notes, paper towels and he'll start scribbling music on it. The only thing he simply cannot write musical pieces on is, ironically, actual music sheets. Ask him as to why and he wouldn't be able to give you a direct answer, the music just doesn't come to him when staring at a music sheet. Composing is his main means of procrastination in and out of the classroom hence why, should some assignment need to get done, he does it on music sheets.
+Playing the Organ - When not using his fingers to compose he has them dancing over organ keys. If it was feasible, Alexis would drag an organ with him everywhere as it feels like an extension of his body more than a musical instrument considering he's been playing it for about ten years. Whenever he is feeling anxious or upset in any way, all he has to do is sit himself in front of the organ and play out whatever pops into his head to relax himself.
+Running - As a growing teen boy, Alexis needs some outlet for the mass of energy he has. And as much as he loves composing and playing the organ, they're not exactly ACTIVE activities. So, when Alexis feels the need to burn off extra energy he goes for a run. He never has a destination in mind, he just goes wherever his feet carry him. Occasionally he'll find himself racing cyclists or skaters just to see how far he can push himself.
+Calligraphy - Calligraphy is probably the only hobby Alexis is actively embarrassed about. A feathered quill and ink sits cleverly hidden in his desk drawer and only when absolutely no one is around (and there is no chance anyone will come around) will he ever indulge in his desire to write in calligraphy. To make matters worse, he tends to write diary entries when he does choose to write in that form. Interestingly enough, while his calligraphy is on par with professionals, his cursive is absolutely terrible.
+Cloud Watching - All teenagers have their lazy moments and when Alexis is feeling particularly lazy, or too overwhelmed to focus, he picks a shady or sunny (depending on the temperature outside) spot on the lawn and just watches the clouds idle by. Secretly, he tries to find cute animals in the clouds.
Virtues+Intelligent- Alexis is a naturally bright boy and tends to be a quick learner when it comes to many subjects and skills. Typically he understands things the first go-round and, if he doesn't, works constantly on it until it does click. This is not to say he's adept at everything, history gives him the most trouble in school and despite having his license he fails pretty hard at driving.
+Autonomous- Whereas most teenagers are highly dependent on their parents, Alexis is almost wholly self-sufficient. This is due mostly to a very detached relationship with his parents. Yes they pay for his school, health insurance, and whatever else is required by law for parents to provide to a minor, but Alexis shops for his own clothes and food, and makes his own meals, and works jobs for any extra income for non-essentials he might desire. He doesn't really need to do all this as his parents can easily provide for him, but he would rather take care of himself.
+High Stamina- Alexis happens to be one of the lucky people in the world blessed with high stamina. He ends up doing physical activities much like the Energizer bunny: he just keeps going and going and going.
Flaws -Spacey- Unfortunately, counteracting that bright mind is a subconscious prone to spacing out. If something doesn't immediately catch Alexis' interest he simply stares off into space and, usually, composes in his head or day dreams about playing the organ. This leads to a lot of blank notebooks and extra study hours at the library to make up for the lack of notes.
-Socially awkward- One of the downsides of being confined to social interaction with no more than adult tutors is that Alexis does not know how to act around his peers. Initially he will default to extreme politeness, but inevitably he finds himself failing as a teenage boy and gets very flustered very fast (doubly so if he's dealing with a girl). When flustered, Alexis' voice raises several octaves and he begins to stutter. If that wasn't bad enough, he tends to lose his ability to keep his balance and stumbles all over himself. There's no silver tongue in this mouth, and those who do possess one will find Alexis happily submissive (as he'd rather go along with them then face more embarrassment). *When not medicated the flustering quickly turns to unbridled violence. But he is very carefully medicated.
-Obsessive- When Alexis has his mind set on something he will stay working on it until it's completed to his standards. If, by some freak occurrence, he is physically dragged away from the task he's focused on, his mind stays back with it basically leaving him a useless shell of a person.
FamilySchool: Hillworth Grammar School for Boys
*Reason: Alexis comes from a wealthy background, and is rather bright. So why is here? As aforementioned, Alexis has never been to a real school, as such he has no clue how to act among his peers. Even less so around peers that happen to be bullies. At his old school he was bullied for being the new kid, and a foreign transfer student at that. After being pushed around and teased enough Alexis finally snapped and laid a serious beat down on them, using classroom chairs to give stitches and concussions to the bullies. After this first snap, Alexis became more and more prone to using violence for an answer. After the third incident Alexis was taken to therapy and placed on strong medication. It's worked very well, but just to be safe his parents sent him to Hillworth, as the letter had shown up the day after the incident...how convenient.Favorite Subjects:Hated Subjects:Fav. Foods: Baklava, melon balls wrapped with prosciutto, and goulash soup.
Hated Foods: Anything deep fried (it makes him nauseous), pizza (of any kind, he's truly a failure of a teenager), and cooked spinach (there we go, a little more normal for a teen boy).
