Age: 23

Birthday: May 12

Blood Type: AB

School: Substitute teacher for Meadowview High, Crystal Academy, Hillworth Grammar, St Magdalena's, Knightside Elementary

Hobbies:

Costuming - Cosplays, period costumes, Halloween costumes: nothing is sacred enough for Alex's touch. She loves to sew and loves even more to wear her creations at conventions, faires, what-have-you. Need help with a costume project or want to buy a custom-made outfit for yourself? There's an app for that. Fizz runs her own online community and store.

Gamer/AnimeGrrl -- DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, SATAN'S GAME. MMORPGs, first-person shooters, normal RPGs, other tabletop games, anime and manga. Fizz loves it all. She's known as one of the greatest Dungeon Masters of Destiny City. The princesses in the pixel castles that she has rescued has been countless. Her levels have been capped and her skills are maxed out. She eagerly awaits the next installment of Desu Desu. This girl gobbles the whole living in a fantasy world up. Sometimes you have to wonder if she prefers fantasy over the real world.

Alchemy -- Not just the hokey stuff coming out of RPGs and anime everywhere, but Alexandra is nuts about Hermeticism and alchemy. To be able to transform one's soul is the way to the divine, as she puts it, not to mention a sweet philosopher's stone on the side. More importantly, her goal to help her mother and her battles with illness strives her forward to find a cure through other means. Unfortunately there aren't that many people to talk to about it in Destiny City (that she knows about). She keeps a separate online profile for communities of this nature.

Virtues:
Passionate -- Alexandra is strongly passionate in all she has interest in. She will talk up a storm to anyone who will offer the conversation. She will learn everything there is to know about the topic. She will talk everything there is to talk about the topic. If there is someone who asks her about it, she could possibly talk their ear off and see if she can spark some interest in him/her about it.. And if someone disses/attacks/etc the thing/people she cares about? Hoo boy. No one will get away with that on her watch. No one..

Astute -- Miss Kostas is very intelligent and cunning. She was able to skip two grades, starting college when she was only fifteen. Once she focuses on a subject, it takes her only a short while to grasp the concept. So many students, teachers and friends approach her for help with their studies, knowing that she'll either know the answer or can come up with one quickly. To supplement her income (and relieve boredom) she became a substitute teacher for the Destiny City area, eschewing from full-time teaching as teaching a single subject would bore her to death.

Dependable -- Even if Alex is doing something that she doesn't feel like doing, she will get it done. Whether it's a task or spending time with or helping a friend, her reputation is on the line. If she screws up, or even if it's just something she has a hand in, she feels that it's her a** on the line. Teachers can depend on her for getting lessons into their students' noggins.


Flaws:

Rigid -- Alex knows what she's talking about. She can't help it if you're a dumbass. With a high IQ comes a high opinion of her knowledge. One can try to persuade her to change her opinion. Key word: try. And even if you do convince her, she will assume that it was her idea to begin with.

Easily Irked -- People annoy Alex far too easily. Maybe it's the tone that you're using. Maybe it's just the way you word things. Or maybe you're asking far too many questions when she just explained that to you a moment ago. Whatever it is, she is quick to think that you are just annoying, don't know anything, or are mocking her in some way.

Snarky, Aggressive, and A Weeeee Bit Sadistic -- Her high intelligence came with the price of being ostracized by her childhood peers. Now in her early 20s, she armors herself with snarky comments and a sometimes antagonistic nature if she feels it's needed. .. And that's very often. Because of her experiences and how she deals with them, Alex is a weeeee bit verbally sadistic. She enjoys paying her peers back by causing some people pain. Usually it's to people that she feels close to. Alex feels guilty after that happens.. but subconsciously (much to her dismay) she enjoys it. On the other hand, she doesn't feel any guilt when she's this way to her enemies~

Hi dearie, Kao here to do your critique. Congrats on winning her civie, lets see if we can get her stamped for you.

Civilian:

Her hobbies look fine to me dear. The only thing I want to say if I want to play Exhalted with her. Shhhh I had a dorky moment ... <.< >.> <.<

Virtues:

Passionate is coming across as more of a flaw than a virtue at the moment, it sound or reads more like it would just become very annoying very quickly. You want to keep it positive and remember that the its should make other's like her and want to be around her. When she takes on a task, does she research it thoroughly? Speak so keenly on it, that is possibly sparks interest in others?

For intelligent, its not entirely clear or stated why someone would like her for her intelligence. Its comes across more as just character information than a virtue. How does her intelligence benefit her? How does it make other like her, want to be around and be friends with her?

For dependable it seems focused on tasks or maybe jobs, but what about situations, like if a friend just needs to talk or a friend finds themselves in pinch like stuck on the other side of town in the middle of the night.

Flaws:

Stubborn doesnt really seem like the exactly right word for the flaw, it seems like she is more high and mighty than overall stubborn, like she looks down on others maybe, is possibly conceited or self-centered. Or Maybe even a Know It All.

Snarky n aggressive and sadistic seem like to side of the same virtue, both referring to her negative speech and actions, one adding that she enjoys it.

Powered:

Outfit ref looks a little corrupt senshi to me, but I'm sure the artist that grabs her up will make it fit all the guidelines. Elsewise it all looks good, love the brass knuckles can give you a shock at general stage.

Your changes look good to me, here's a stamp! A gm will be by soon for your final look!
