Player's Name: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4fEvCCP1ZQ
Name: Alex Meriweather
Age: 15
Grade: Academy Sophomore
Birthday: Nov. 22nd
Height: 5'5"
Weight: Average.
Gender: Male.
Appearance: Alex is a slightly short, incredibly pale boy with curly, naturally-white hair that he's put up in thick dreadlocks and pale green eyes. He has a rounded face that's lengthening as he ages, facial features that seem a little bigger than the space they take up on his face, bushy eyebrows, and a nose. It is proud nose, and it is not exactly the first thing you notice about the boy, but it's on the top 5 list. Smallish hands, decent shoulders, and something that might be called girlish hips if you wanted to make him very insecure for a couple of hours.
Alex tends to wear long-sleeved shirts and nice jeans, dresses something between conservative and Southern Californian surfer boy, and usually wears the uniform while in class (partly to cut down on laundry). He has a lot of beige and green clothing, but he likes deep brown and royal purple.
Personality: Possibly the nicest, most adorable future world dictator you will ever meet. If you don't know Alex by now, hi new person! We don't get many of you. :D
History: Alex is a perfectly normal kid from San Diego who managed to get adopted by a couple of aging hippies as a toddler. He has three grown brothers, two of which he's met and none of which lived with him, a lot of acquaintances and a few good friends. He's had the usual sort of difficulties an odd-looking nerdy kid tends to have, which is part of what pushed him to develop his social skills, and part of the reason why a dear friend of his mother's from her flower-arranging class recommended him to Dunehelden.
Kids from all over the world! Less social pressure! Great academics! Completely LGBT-friendly!
The fact that he developed magic powers once he got here hasn't hurt.
For Mages
Magical Strengths/Powers: Alex has two major strengths: primarily, mental magic, and secondarily, semi-elemental magic to do with subtle forces like light, electricity, and sound. He's mostly trained the former, and is capable of basic telepathy with people he knows well, shielding, and some small amount of mental influence. The latter is mostly confined to unconscious tricks with light and the ability to play back songs out of his head, which would be a really sweet party trick if he didn't have to concentrate on it.
Not magical, but he also has a preternatural ability to read people and eidetic hearing.
Magical Weaknesses/Flaws: Anything concrete. Conjuration of more "base elements" like fire, water, wind, etc. bothers him. Transmutation baffles him. Healing and necromancy are complicated, because he can grasp the fiddly biological stuff you can't really do until later but the first few steps trip him up, which essentially means he'd be shit at it without quite a bit more practice. Things like that.
He also currently has little or no training in anything else he could be okay/good at (divination, illusion, etc.), though that will slowly change.
