Personality:
Alexander is easy to be around when he feels like it. He is both playful and fun, has a dry sense of humour and loves hanging out with other people. Though he often feels like he doesn’t fit in, he still tried to get noticed by being a bit weird and talkative. He is very good at understanding other people, and eventual issues they might have. He can put himself into many situations so he is easy to speak with. He is kind, but also has a mean side.
Though he is quite straightforward, and will not hesitate on commenting your new hairstyle, or how lame something you do look. His honesty should not be fooled by any kind of secrets he might have, if he doesn't share it, and doesn't lie around it, then it shouldn't be dishonest. He is a very secretive person He is excellent in keeping secrets for others, and is very loyal to whomever he might call his friends. Alexander can be quite bold, and not scared to stand up for what he means, if he has a strong belief in something, he will try to defend his own beliefs.
Alexander also has a work hard philosophy. In most cases he works very hard on things he wants to accomplish. During school he would work very hard on his school work so that he would please his parents, and stay among the top in his class. He has a jealousy problem, and is often faced with this kind of issue, when around people that he feels are superior to him. One this is that he finds it very easy to trust people that probably ought not to be trusted. Despite his bright personality there also lays a negative attitude beneath. He feels the need to feel that things perhaps aren't as good as they should be. Normally he has difficulties remaining concentrated when faced with many different sounds in a room, or feeling stressed.
Hobbies/ Interests:
· Playing instruments (Piano and clarinet)
· Reading books (Loves reading biographies and poetry)
· Music (Has a strong love for music, and is very much against illegal downloading

· Playing at a computer, he loves using computers, although he considers himself as a computer idiot as he has no clue on how to effectively use one.
Job or part time job and description: None
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: He is extremely afraid of the dark, he never grew out of his phase as a child. Always being afraid of the dark has made him less sociable during night time, as he would never walk around in the dark alone without any form of light (usually a flashlight).
Alexander is also concerned that anyone will find out that he is homosexual. After moving to the school, he was afraid that telepaths would figure it out. Although he has come to terms with his sexuality long ago, he has not been able to tell anyone about it, tearing him up inside. Alexander is also crazily afraid of spiders.
Special talents: He is a good piano player, but still amateur like compared to professional piano players. Good at studying, and excels at reading and remembering things. While growing up he showed a big interest in gymnastics, and has been doing it since he was seven. As of this he has become quite flexible, and has gained a lot of upper body strength.
Morality
He is a very good person, he wishes no harm for other people, and wishes to someday be able to do something good for the world, so that they wouldn’t have to worry about war and death as they would now.
Mutations
Mutation description:
Alexander is a mutant with the ability to mentally manipulate the flux of the atmosphere. This makes him able to manipulate and feel the atmospheric condition. In short he has some control over the weather.. He has only limited control over it, and can only control a small area of around 90+/- metres in diameter (of view of the sky, not the exact atmospheric area) depending on how far his body is willing to go.
He is not capable of creating powerful storms (such as hurricanes, tornadoes) though he is capable of creating air pressure to intensify the wind enough to become a small storm in a larger area. In smaller areas, he would be able to intensify the wind more, but with a great deal on his own body.
He can also to rise and lower the humidity in an area, making it rain. The lightning he produces are normally cloud to cloud lightning, normally to create flashes of light strong enough to blur someone’s vision for a few seconds. He can also discharge lightning to hit the ground, usually this is a lot more damaging, as it wouldn’t only harm people, but also object, land and houses depending on the strength and heat, as well as taking more out of him both mentally and physically. When creating lightning though, he would also create thunder, as it is a result of a supersonic shock wave that decays and turns into the bouldering sound. Alexander himself states that the lighting he creates is a natural part of his powers, as he has little knowledge on how his powers work in theory.
Because of his powers, his body is slightly more resistance to weather effects that he creates, but is still vulnerable to natural weather, or other mutant generated weather effects.
Strengths: Alexander is able to tell how the weather will change in his area.
Weaknesses:
Alexander has to manipulate the atmosphere, and the weather patterns in the way they already exist in nature, and can’t create weather effects that doesn’t exist on earth. He is also worn out easily if using too much of his powers. Using his powers doesn’t only take a toll on his mind, but also his physical body, meaning that he can only keep going as long as his body is capable of taking him.
His powers are also affected by his emotions. He does not unconsciously affect the weather when having a strong feeling. But if he is angry or sad, he might not be able to generate the kind of weather he wants. Alexander is not capable of creating weather effects in the area he is residing in, unless they are naturally normal to that area. So if he lives in New York, it is most unlikely that he would create tropical weather effects there. As well as making it snow in Hong Kong.
As his wind control is so inexpert, he has much less control as to say how the wind will react. He can create wind, but he does not define the wind, or manipulate the air that for example is inside the lungs or by “man made” wind generators. Because lightning is so difficult to produce, he can normally just create three or two lightning bolts as a maximum, normally if he is rested, or haven’t used much of his other powers earlier on. Creating lightning is also a long process that would give other people an advantage against him.
- It is also worth mentioning that Alexander is highly allergic to bee stings, and allergic to most kinds of dog breeds.
Fighting Style
Being a former gymnast he has a lot of upper body strength, as well as being quite flexible. Other than this, he has no formal training in any form of martial arts, and would probably improvise.
Explanation:
Pros for fighting style: flexible, and durable when it comes to movements, quite fast in reactions.
Cons for fighting style: Not trained in any form of fighting, and would do poorly against someone with a lot of training.
Faction Allegiance
Currently unaffiliated
History Of Your Character:
Alexander García was born in the district Haeundae-gu in Busan, South Korea a chilly summer day in August. Not much is known about his origin. When he was supposedly only a week old, he was found alone in the back of an alley. His condition was not very good and close to death. Had he been found just a few hours later, things might have gone even worse, as nightfall was approaching? He bore marks that he had been treated poorly, barely fed by whoever his mother was, and had slight bruises on his body.
He was at that time taking into care by the government. Already when he was around a year, he was adopted by Estavan and Sarah García Spanish couple from Barcelona. They named the child Alexander; they both believed that giving him a more international name was the right thing. His adoptive father worked hard as a surgeon at the local hospital, since his wife did not work at the time, he was the one that made all the families income.
When it was time for him to begin school, there had been a long discussion between family members, about which school he should attend. After considering the possibilities, Alexander was enrolled in a local international English school. His family wanted him to be able to learn English properly, and felt that the studies provided there would be sufficient enough.
His main problem with school was that the other children didn’t like him as much. Alexander was always smiling, and happy, though the other children were not accustomed to his Asian appearance. The school had a majority of western, and Spanish children, therefore they were not used to seeing his kind appearance. At the time, he did not mind that the others were more absent around him, as he had little friends other than cousins or children of family friends; he was used to spend time by himself.
When entering second grade, he put an interest in drawing and art, as well as discovering that he really liked gymnastics. His only problem was that he would fall behind in his school subjects. The problem was that schoolwork didn’t interest him. It was more likely that he would be sitting by his desk, drawing pictures. According to the teachers, he had difficulties with concentration.
His behaviour changed drastically by time. The new problem was some of his classmates. They had started picking on him, calling him names, like freak or racist names like Ching-Chong, Chinaman. It went into him, because he felt Spanish from the inside, it was the only country and culture he had ever really experienced.
He never discussed the matter with his parents, or other close family members. Instead he closed himself in, though showing the many symptoms of being bullied, no one noticed them. He would claim to be too sick to go to school, feeling nauseous or having headaches.
Life for changed when his parents told him that his father had gotten a job offer in New York City. This was a turning stone for Alexander. Even upon first arrival, he felt home right away. Even if Barcelona was a city with over a million people, New York was even bigger and better in his opinion.
Alexander stumbled upon his powers quite randomly when he was angry after his parents grounded him for piercing his ears. This incident made him create a raincloud to cover his room, making everything soaked. The sound of the rain made his parents curious, and knocked furiously at Alexander’s locked bedroom door. But because he had panicked, he didn’t know what else to do, and saw it no other way than to unlock the door to get their help.
The raincloud had vaporized, but that didn’t mean that his possessions were all dried up. His mother screamed at first, while his father was rather angry looking from the start. Both demanded to know why he had done that to his room. It wasn’t before his mother noticed something different, noticing that her son’s eyes had turned dark blue. Perhaps at that moment she already knew what had happened. All Alexander thought of was panic, the end of the world, and that he felt his whole body ache with pain.
He began crying, he didn’t know if he should be worried, sad or angry. He knew that it was perhaps him that created that raincloud, meaning that he was a possible mutant. His mother reluctantly put her arms around her soaking wet crying child. At the time he was only 15.
Many months passed. His parents and Alexander tried their best keeping his powers hidden. They claimed that Alexander was now wearing coloured contact lenses. But that didn’t help much that he felt out of control, sometimes creating odd weather occurrences around him. He knew that he needed help, and his parents were of none.
His plan was to run away, leaving a note, telling that he needed this for himself, and that he would contact them later. He was ready for it, and he knew he had to. After getting in touch with the school, he knew it was time, and that they would help him. It wasn’t long until he found himself on the bus to get to a new place. As he had lived in New York for quite some time he knew very well off the mutant school. And who knew what would meet him there as he got there.

Sample RP:
The bus ride had gotten him tired even if it wasn’t even that long of a ride. His head felt like it would burst open by just thinking a single thought. He quietly massaged his neck; it felt sore after leaning his head against a window as a pillow for a while. He was told that there would be a bit of walking from the nearest bus stop. During this walk he could think a lot. Had this been the right decision? Or was it just a big mistake. His biggest fear would be showing up, being told that he wasn’t a mutant after all. His head filled with all sorts of thoughts, which made his headache feel even worse. He would have just then hoped for a mutant power that would cure him from all sorts of pain.
He had never been more nervous in his life. He had never gone this far by himself before. Especially to a place he had never been, or didn’t even know. Not that the map seemed to be of much better help either. His eyes looked from one corner to the next. The wind blew quietly, and sometimes he could have sworn that a few raindrops were hitting him on the nose. He felt lost, as he sat down on a nearby park bench. He looked closer at the map he had bought. Noticing that he had been keeping it the wrong way all the time, he was supposed to go north and not west. At first he felt like the biggest fool in the world as he got off the bench, trying to find his way back from where he started.
He felt the butterflies in his stomach pinch his inside; he was regretting this so badly, he should just turn around, and go on the next bus home. But he couldn’t now. He knew how his parents were afraid, they might not have said anything, but he knew they were. It was almost so intense that he could feel it on his body. He wouldn’t talk to them until the time was right. Meaning he needed this place. “Put yourself together Alexander” He said to himself, his time in the states had made him even think in English. He was then amazed when he finally saw it, the mansion where his new life would maybe begin, and maybe it would host new friends for him. He stood in front of the gate, hoping anyone would notice him there. After all he said he would be arriving at this date in the phone call.
