Player's Name: Smoke
Name: Alex Meriweather
Age: 39
Birthday: Nov. 22nd
Height: 5'6"
Weight: Slightly above average, not that he'd admit it; Alex has a sweet tooth.
Gender: Male
Personality: Alex is a sweet, adorable, manipulative bastard. With near-supernatural levels of empathy even before he became a mage and obsessive levels of extroversion, he tends to rise quickly to the top of any social heap. Years of forced introspection have reduced how much he does this unconsciously, but he's still very good at getting what he wants- and he does genuinely want to be a nice guy, so that doesn't hurt.
Appearance: Alex is short, pale, and mostly small-featured, with curly white hair he's decided to keep in dreadlocks, as it's the only thing he's been happy with. He has pale green eyes, and dresses mostly in polos and slacks, or nicer things when the occasion warrants.
History: Adopted by older Californian couple, sent to Dunehelden for high school by mysterious benefactor, met Hitoshi and fell head over heels for the poor boy, became a mage, and stuff that hasn't happened in canon yet, in that order. For the most part, see Hitoshi's bio.
Relatives who are now or have been at Dunehelden: Hitoshi (spouse), Hitoshi's family by proxy.
For Mages
Magical Strengths/Powers: Alex is scarily good at anything involving the mind, including mental and emotional manipulation, mental enhancements, telepathy, etc.. He's trained hard at manipulating equally subtle technologically-inclined forces, particularly sound and the signals that comprise radio waves and wireless networks. Lastly, he has a bit of an affinity for light-elemental stuff, but he doesn't use it for more than the occasional flashy parlor trick.
He's also got eidetic hearing and the aforementioned social skills, though those aren't magical.
Magical Weaknesses/Flaws: Like a lot of mages, Alex is rather focused, and given what he's focused on, well... there are some moral issues there, ones he very well recognizes. In addition, it's well-known what his specialties are, at least in general, with the attendant reactions that come with that.
More specifically in the magical category, Alex seems to be unable to manipulate elements other than light, and a lot of the higher-end stuff he's capable of requires total concentration. Wards will also keep him out more easily than most people, for various reasons.
For Staff
Position Applied For: Math teacher, or computer science or something.
Qualifications: B.S. in math and computer science, M.S. in computer science with a focus in cryptography, five years' experience with [insert magical organization here] as [information classified]. More importantly, Hitoshi might as well pay him for something while he's staying.
