HEIGHT
- 5'9
WEIGHT
- 140 Ibs.
HAIR COLOR
- Alek's hair is a bit of a problem. It changes between a raven black to a snowy white depending on his mood. Normally it will be as dark as the night sky, but if something upsets him or if he becomes particularly anxious it will slowly lose its color.
EYE COLOR
- Alek is heterochromic, although he is rather embarrassed by his mismatched eyes and so he wears an eyepatch over the one that is blood red. His other eye is a grayish brown that seems to sparkle with a certain radiance that can never be matched.
SKIN TONE
- His skin is very fair, this is probably the only trait he inherited from his mother.
GENERAL APPEARANCE
- A second generation mutant, Alek is unlike something most of the other dwellers of Castle Rock have seen. His eyes are mismatched, his hair changes colors, and his nails are naturally black. When Alek was little, the king declared he be studied in order to help cure the oncoming flow of mutant children. They learned nothing from him though as every test came back negative, but it still scarred the boy. His back is marred by their attempts to learn from him, his hands calloused from years of nervously twisting the hem of his shirt and using them to climb and fight. In reality Alek is a very gentle soul, but should you get on his nerves he will not hesitate to tear you down. He is awfully strong for his size although he appears to be rather lanky and his figure lacks muscle.
As far as clothing goes, Alek will wear whatever is comfortable. His trademark clothing item is a blue sweatshirt with black stripes. After school he goes to volunteer at the retirement home and will done the uniform of the other workers, a white top and black vest and pants. When it is time to attend academy he will wear the normal uniform and afterwards he will change into looser, freer articles that give him full range of movement.

PERSONALITY
- When you first meet Alek, he comes off as terribly quite. In truth, Alek is simply thoughtful. He likes to contemplate the sky and clouds and sometimes even the edge that they are not allowed to cross. While Alek may seem to be very shy, once you get to know him you will discover that he is actually very funny and does not take anything too seriously. Alek always seems to be cracking jokes and trying to make others smile, his sole purpose in life seems to please and so if you are upset or unsatisfied Alek will not be able to rest until you are either smiling or happy. It is very hard to anger him as he is very patient, but when he does get angry Alek will not raise his voice. They say it is actually scarier, because when you yell and stomp around you are predictable, but when someone is quiet when they are angry they are plotting and that in itself can be terrifying.
It is nearly impossible to tell what Alek is thinking. He is not an open book, but he is happy for the most part. Alek is also a day dreamer, he can often be caught staring out the window rather than taking notes or looking off into space while others converse around him. His thoughts seem to turn at the rate of a mile a minute and they are often hard to keep up with.
LIKES
- Books || Alek has always enjoyed curling up by the window with a good read. He loves books of all kinds, but has an especially fond place in his heart for mysteries.
Clear Days || Sometimes on an especially clear day you can almost see over the edge. Alek likes to fantasize about what could possibly be happening down there.
Cake || There is just something about little tea cakes that makes Alek's stomach growl. He will consume sweets in nearly any form, but loves cake the most.
DISLIKES
- Winter || The short days means there is less daylight and less of a chance of seeing anything over the edge.
Trains || Although Castle Rock uses a train that can circle the whole floating island in two hours, Alek prefers to walk. Most other students take advantage of the rail and shuttles, but Alek feels off balanced and claustrophobic inside of them.
Crowds || Alek grows very self conscious and uncomfortable on crowded platforms and inside of small, full buildings. He avoids busy shopping centers and will often wait until most of the students have left academy before exiting.
TALENTS
- Poetry || Alek has a knack for arranging words. As a child he often won poetry and writing contests, although he doesn't write as often anymore.
Cooking || Alek is an amazing cook, he would often assist his mother with the cooking and began to experiment on his own in order to broaden their horizons. Now he has taken over most of the household cooking, although sometimes his mother will shoo him out of the kitchen if she is feeling stressed.
Running || Alek joined the track and cross country teams at academy on a whim. He has since built up his ability to run and can now compete with the best of them.
FLAWS
- Train of thought || Alek sometimes has trouble staying on topic, he will often drop off in the middle of a sentence and pick up on a completely different topic.
FEARS
- Drifting Away || It may seem silly to most, but Alek has a fear that somehow their little island will unanchor itself from its spot in the atmosphere and drift away into space.
Irrational || Alek is afraid of being declared irrational. He's seen what they do to those who have been and does not want to experience that sort of thing.
Death || Not his death really, but the death of those around him. It may seem selfish, but Alek does not want to lose those closest to him.

FAMILY
BIO
- A field of roses. It was the first thing Sienna saw after the birth of her son. It had been a laborious fourteen hours but finally he was out. A healthy baby boy, mutant, but otherwise whole. They dubbed the boy Aleksanteri, from the Greek Alexander meaning to Help, or Defend. They wanted their little boy to have a large heart and raised him with an open mind. At the age of five, Alek and several other mutant children were swept away from their homes to live in a facility that could study their mutant attributes. Alek had never thought of himself as different, but the facility made them out to be freaks of nature and he felt uncomfortable. They poked needles into his eyes, took his blood, and made him run through countless mazes like a rat in a trap. When Alek was finally allowed to return home he began wearing eye patches over his red eye so that he would not attract the attention of others. Due to his year spent in the facility Alek was a year behind in academy and felt out of place. He could read and write brilliantly, but his social skills were troubling. He had no idea how to converse or make friends, but thankfully other children were naturally drawn to him although it wasn't always a good thing. While the children in his academy class were for the most part nice, there are always bad apples and a group of little boys made fun of Alek due to his color changing hair and the way he spoke so properly. The girls defended him though and Alek found friends in the female persuasion, which eventually made the males attempt to befriend him.
He was finally happy. Despite this though, it was never enough. Living on Castle Rock, even with all of its beauty, has never been enough. Alek isn't sure why but he has lusted for more, to see what is on the other side of the fence despite the constant warning that he should never cross it. He isn't stupid enough to do such a thing though, Alek has seen what has happened to those that the wind has whispered to and he fears that eventually he will give in. Alek has always kept this to himself, he wouldn't want to worry his parents.
Wren has always been a source of entertainment in Alek's life. She was born the year he was away from home and when Alek returned there was a bundle in the form of a child waiting for him. The two clicked instantly and bonded over everything from the mundane to the extraordinary. Alek has always looked out for Wren. While she isn't a mutant, she has a hard time expressing herself and so he has shown her a few creative outlets where she can properly record her thoughts. Wren has constantly been a source of pride in Alek's life. His parents often were not home due to their demanding jobs so Alek took care of both the house hold chores and his little sister. He didn't mind though, it gave him something to do besides read or stare out the window. Alek often finds that his thoughts are turning towards the ground more often these days and soon he fears he will have to tell someone.
