Complete Character Description:

Alexander stands at a solid 6’0” even, and is nothing but pure, lean, muscle. His hair is typically messy, but falls to his chin. It’s a dirty blonde; parts of it bleached a lighter blonde by the sun. More often than not he has a good days worth of stubble on his young features, making him look a little older than his 19 years.

His eyes are what he calls a mud puddle green. In some lights they look hazel, and in others a brilliant green with brown flecks throughout. His skin is naturally pale, much like his sisters, but he does have a little bit more tan to his skin than she does. His cheeks often have a flushed look to them, but that’s just part of his normal skin tone. He’s quick with a smile, and shows a flash of brilliant pearly whites. He takes pride in his appearance, and if he can’t be found around and about the ship then look in the bathroom. It’s likely you’ll find him in there primping.

Personality:

Alexander is as easy going as they come, he’s the even in his sister’s odd. He’s kind and caring to those he loves, or calls friend. With family and friends, he’ll defend them to the very end, even if they are in the wrong. If you find yourself on his bad side, which is pretty dang hard to get to, look out. He’ll get you back before you can blink, and not even care that he’s done it. He loves cracking jokes, and making people smile and laugh. When he’s in a room there’s sure to be laughter, once again a polar opposite of his sister who took on more of their mother than he did in personality.

He’s honest, or at least he’s trying to be now. Back when he and Nikita were on the streets it wasn’t that easy, but now it’s coming back to him. He’s playful, almost to the point of being annoying. He can’t help it though, it’s part of his nature and Alexander wants everyone to like him. He talks fast and a lot with his hands. If someone tied his hands up, it’s likely that Alexander couldn’t talk. Alexander also asks a lot of questions, figuring the more information he has the better off he is.

Going with his playful side, you’re likely to find him starting up a game of football somewhere in the ship, or just planning something fun to do. While he was in high school he did play football, learning how to manage his mutant power so as to not bring attention to himself. The again, he was a quarterback, so he didn’t have to worry all that much about it. Along with his playful side he is a big flirt, inheriting that, along with his looks from his mother. He likes making women feel beautiful, since they are such beautiful creatures to begin with in his opinion.

Weakness(es): Women, playing, having fun, pride/vanity, anything with the words Key Lime in it, and any sort of chocolate whatsoever.

Strengths: Speed, his caring and easygoing nature, his ability to make anyone laugh or smile at the most random times.

Talents and Hobbies: One thing that Alexander did inherit from his mother was her voice. He enjoys singing and does it quite well. He also loves to dance and does so as often as he can while they are off the ship. He dabbles in cooking, when he’s under Mag’s supervision of course, but he’s not that good at it.

Background:

Alexander Gabriel Robinson was brought into the world crying, and will likely leave that way. At least that’s what his mother said about him when he was born with a laugh over to Joe.

Where Nikita had been quiet, Alexander was noisy and when he started talking, Ivy often joked that she wished he’d never learned how to. He was constantly asking questions about everything, and wanted satisfying answers to all of the questions. If he didn’t get the answer he desired, he’d ask again until he got the right answer. Then he’d nod his little head, and go about his business.

Typically his business involved following Nikita around, watching her practice her mutant powers. He encouraged her, asking her to change into different sorts of animals. It was only by chance that Nikita over heard him asking their parents for a puppy on his fourth birthday, Nikita, only eight at the time, turned into a Golden Retriever Puppy just for her brother and only for a few short hours on his birthday. It was a form that would stick with her to this day.

Ivy and Joe began to wonder if they’d given birth to a normal child, and if they had it was fine with them. Not too long after Alexander had started Pre-K, a teacher called, asking Ivy and Joe to come to the school. Worried that something had happened to Alexander or Nikita, the two hurried down to the elementary school.

The concerned teacher informed them that their son was special. While the children had been playing out on the playground, Alexander and his buddy Lawson had wondered off out of the watchful eye of the teacher. A group of first graders had dared Lawson to climb a large tree, and the little boy fell off, breaking his arm. Alexander was at the teacher’s side in an instant, and after he told her he was gone again, back at Lawson’s side.

Joe and Ivy were both proud of their son, and didn’t catch the worried look on the teacher’s face. While Joe and Ivy didn’t preach to their children about keeping their powers in check at home, they did warn them about showing off at school. Nikita never did show off her powers, and it made people wonder if she even had any at all. They called her names, and stayed away from her.

Alexander, on the other hand, used his power to gain his popularity. He didn’t care, and if anyone breathed a bad word about his sister within ear shot of him they were on their faces before they knew what hit them. Alexander took care of Nikita, even if he was four years younger than her, and their bond was unbreakable. He watched her graduate from high school, her best friend Julia in tow. He was going to be a sophomore that year, playing on the varsity football team and life was going to be good.

Little did he know that things weren’t going to go so well.

Life for him didn’t exist outside of the high school walls. He did well in his classes, went to practice, and even had a steady girlfriend; one of Julia’s younger sisters who was a mutant like himself. Things were going pretty well, and then everything started falling apart. Nikita was still abroad, traveling with Julia when a new mayor of their town was sworn in. Alexander didn’t like the man at all, and knew things were going to get bad.

He was cut from the football team, without any warning. His grades began to plummet, not from his lack of studying, but from the prejudices of the teachers. He didn’t understand. Even people who he’d called friends for years started to avoid him.

Then one night, he and Joe were home alone at the house. Joe had been fired from his firm, and Ivy had been their source of income since Alexander couldn’t even find a job. There was a call from a hospital in the next county over saying that Ivy had been in an ‘accident’ that they were needed. The two men hurried to the hospital, Alexander complaining the whole way that he could’ve gotten there faster than his father was driving at the current moment. Come to find out, two men had wrecked Ivy on purpose, but she was no worse for the wear. Her leg was broken, and she had a few scrapes and bruises but she’d be fine.

Then Nikita came home. Alexander couldn’t have been happier to see his sister, and filled her in on everything that was going on. They had to go to the court house as soon as she arrived, and register that they were mutants.

They were met by a mob, and things from there were nothing but a blur to Alexander. He was shocked that people could be so cruel to those who were essentially human. His rage, although slow, did build. When they exited the court house, all hell broke loose. Alexander only remembered being dragged away by his sister, listening to his mother’s screams and his father’s cries for help as he tried to make his way to her.

When they arrived back home, their house was ablaze, and Alexander fell to his knees and cried for the first time in his life. The city was in a riot, and Julia’s family came by. Once he heard Nikita tell them no, he told his girlfriend goodbye, and that maybe he’d see her again sometime.

It was hard, but Alexander did what Nikita told him to. He didn’t want Nikita being out there alone. They went from town to town, Nikita seducing, Alexander stealing. It was hard, and he knew his parents would roll over in their graves (assuming they had actual graves) at what their children were doing. He tried not to think about it, and on the night’s that Nikita wouldn’t come home, Alexander would go and sell himself to make them a little extra cash. Women liked being fawned over by a young and handsome man, and Alexander didn’t mind giving them the attention they deserved.

One night a con went bad, but in a good way. They tried to mug a member of Kings Ransom, and the two got a new lease on life. They boarded the ship a little under a year ago, and the two of them are finally earning an honest living.

Abilities Due to Mutation : Due to his mutation he can move, react, and occasionally think at superhuman speed. However, most of the information he does observe or becomes aware of is sometimes gone as quickly as it came. When he runs at a ‘normal’ speed (for him) he builds a shield that prevents friction from the air. Call it a built in protective device. He doesn’t know how fast he actually can go, and wonders if he can move as fast as the speed of light.
