Detailed: Alexander is not only fairly tall but also a well built young adult, this is due to the fact of him remaining active throughout his distasteful life. Despite not being as ripped as many others throughout the pirate world Alexander is well toned at best, making it one of his top priorities to maintain his figure. His golden blonde hair has some length to it, however not being long enough to become a bother, it's evident he keeps it well maintained whenever he can, as the last thing he'd want is for a strand of hair to get in the way of his vision. Speaking of vision, Alex's eyes are rather unique. He has central heterochromia, a trait which explains why his eyes appear to be red and brown at the same time. He's skin tone could be compaired to that of fresh snow, call it an exaggeration but one simple look will make it obvious that Alexander is not from a warm climate, because of this it's quite easy for him to tan - and even easier to burn. Being toned, you'd expect Alex's dress sense to be pretty revealing, however...He can't stand showing much of his skin as not only is he afraid of burning up, he also finds it quite embarassing. To define his clothing style, he takes a liking to the smart casual appearance. This is usually a red shirt, regular fit jeans and a pair of black boots. He almost always wears his black and yellow coat as he takes a liking to the wool encased over the rim of his hood.
[size=300]Inner Self
Personality: A personality to match his smile. Big, distinctive, bright and warming. Alex is perhaps one of the happiest guy's around, making him pretty easy to get along with. At times this can come across as him showing off his lack of intelligence, as unfortunately he happens to lack common sense. This can go from him using certain words in the wrong context, extending to completely pronoucing them incorrectly. His idiocy broadens to having attention span of a goldfish, quickly shrugging off anyone who may be giving him advice. Because of his ignorence, others tend to laugh at things that he may say, not only because of his playful nature, but also because he's quite simply an idiot. He loves to socialize, and doesn't mind being laughed at as he quite literally cannot help but laugh at himself either - this becomes even more evident when the poor thing becomes drunk. Now Alex isn't a heavy drinker but he isn't the kind of man to refuse a nice glass of sake, unsurprisingly one helpful is enough to get him completely wasted - an idiot who cannot hold down his drinks.
He is a very honest man, despite his jolly ways, Alex knows when to talk and when not to. If there's something he does not agree with, he will let it be known. He isn't afraid to share his opinion, and at times where you'd expect him to lie, you'd find that he'd just tell it how it is. Because of his honest ways, Alex is a man of his word and is very ambitious. He's always wanting to achieve and seeking ways to not only improve but also test his hand to eye co-ordination, having the courage to match his ambition, Alex isn't afraid of failing and knows when he's completely outmatched.
The only signs of intelligence Alex shows is when he's faced in an intense battle, he is incredibly battle wise and often pulls out techniques that marine strategists would take hours to conjure. This is intensified when he is given a gun. You see, if there's one thing Alex knows about, it's the variations of each and every firearm that he has come across. This goes from their maximum range, their ammo compacity, how quickly it'll take for him to reload and many other traits in a number of seconds. The weapons he owns are very valuable to him and quickly becomes frustrated towards anyone who threatens to even touch them, he's so attatched to them that he spends most of his free time polishing them, ensuring that they're kept clean to keep them at their max potential.
Alex has a fair number of traits that would cause anyone to dislike him, afterall, he is inspiring to become a well known pirate. It's very hard to push Alexander's buttons. He is playful at heart so he seems no harm in fooling around, this goes from teasing those around him to even going as far as pulling pranks on those who've tried going one up on him. This becomes even worse when he's bored, as literally anyone becomes his target...And very rarely does he miss his target. He unfortunately obtains a very bad temper whenever someone succeeds in triggering his frustration, however it can also come across as a blessing and he turns silent. During a fight, his silence can be seen as him giving it everything he has got, improving his reflexes and aim significantly - allowing his actions to do the talking. One last thing, Alex loves the attention of women and never shoots to kill a woman, even if she's going as far as she can to kill him. To put it simply Alex is a pervert, thinking about perverted things usually during normal conversations, his eyes wonder as much as his mind does.
Abilities:
Master Marksman: Aided by his amazing field of vision and the ability to use it effectively with his stellar hand to eye co-ordination, Alexander can prove to be deadly when given any form of firearm. As mentioned briefly before, Alex has somewhat a sixth sense with it comes to handling guns. He can instantly identify the given traits of the weapon and use that information to his advantage. Being so skilled with a firearm, Alexander is able to curve a bullet around objects in order to reach the target
Remarkable sense of vision: Alexander has 20/20 vision allowing him to have near flawless eye sight. This makes hitting far away targets a simple task and ultimately spotting enemies from a far.
Expert improviser and tactician: He's never been one to plan ahead, in fact you could mostly blame his lack of attention span and his overall intelligence. However on the battlefield, he's almost a completely different person entirely. He focuses on one thing and that's defeating the person he's faced against, zoning out on anything else besides then. During this state he is able to pinpoint the exact location of which his bullet will pierce, factorising wind direction and speed as well as other factors that would threaten his aim.
Excellent Reflexes and Pain endurance: His reflexes are so potent that a sudden change of direction in the wind, he can instantly adjust his shot to ensure that he still finds the mark. When it comes to baring pain, Alex has been through broken bones, harmful toxins and even being shot several times - all the while still managing to hold up a decent fight. However such stubbornness can be hindering for him.

Weaknesses
~Close combat: Although his abilities up close aren't too bad, it's particularly evident that his fighting skills up close aren't as good as they are with a firearm. He's still a learning the ways of the 'Black leg style', as it's vital for him not to injure his arms.
~Underestimates: He is very eager to see someone as a pushover due to his high ego and lack of understanding, this causes him to belittle other people's advice and deal with things he see's fit, which then bites him in the ass.
~Cocky: His hot-headedness can also cause him trouble, especially against devil fruit users. Often putting to much faith into his bullets rather than admitting that bullets won't work on the majority of them, he will not stop even if he reaches the verge of death
~No knowledge of Haki: Alex is an idiot and will not change any time soon, because of this he is baffled at the fact that some people can simply punch devil fruit users while his bullets have no effect on them at all. This instantly puts him at a disadvantage.
