Full Name: Alexander James White
Nicknames: When he was younger he went by AJ but grew out of it once he got to high school. He now goes by Alex.
Description: When Alex was younger, he looked a lot different. He was on the chubbier side, and always seemed to be wearing clothes that were one size too small. His curly, platinum blonde locks just barely touched his shoulders, and hung in front of his light blue eyes. He had a milky complexion despite him being outside all the time, and his cheeks were always a rosy pink. Afraid of Alex getting overweight, his parents shrunk his diet and forced him to exercise regular. By the time he got to high school, he slimmed down to an 'average' weight for a boy his age and height, 5'8. He currently remains the same size. Finding his curly locks annoying, Alex chopped them all off and refuses to ever grow his hair out again. As he grew older, everything about his appearance seemed to get darker. His hair changed to a dirty blonde shade, his eyes, a murky blue, and his skin, a sun kissed tan.
Personality: The only thing that stayed the same with Alex were his big dreams. He would always be thinking of the future and how great it was going to be, and he still does. Becoming a pilot is his current dream despite everyone telling him to do something with his movie making. Determination is a big thing with Alex. He goes in with what he wants in mind and he doesn't stop until he gets it. Lots of people see him as headstrong, but Alex hasn't yet realized his stubbornness. He tends to crack corny, and even unfunny jokes but don't worry, he's used to being the only one to laugh at them.
Likes:
- Strawberries || His favorite food. He used to eat them off the strawberry bush outside his house until about the time the Six split ways, when it slowly started to die away.
- Film making || He's not to bad at it either.
- Ben || His older brother, and role model. Although the older boy bullies him endlessly, Alex can't help but look up to his older, much more muscular and handsome brother. It also helps that Ben is a well known pilot with loads of money.
Airplanes || Alex has a fascination with planes. He knows just about every type ever built, and their advantages. He loves going to airplane runways to watch them come and go.
Trying new things || His has big dreams that change often so it's not unusual to see him doing new things.
Dislikes:
Helicopters || Although he loves planes, he is completely afraid of helicopters.
Scents || He doesn't like strong, bitter, or smelly odors. Air fresheners, and scented candles are also included in this.
Being told to do things || This traces back to when his parents made him change his lifestyle.
Skills:
- He is good at making films, and editing for movies and photos.
-Multi-tasking seems to be a strong point for Alex.
-Doing any type of math, including super complicated problems are easy for him. A lot of times he can do them in his head.
Weaknesses:
- He has a build up of stress that could at any moment, break him.
- Alex has horrible memory. If you asked him, he probably couldn't tell you what he had for breakfast that morning. Knowing this weakness, he keeps a pad of sticky notes with him at all times so if he needs to remember something he can either write it down or look at them to see what he has to do.
Brief History:
Alex has always grown up in the same neighborhood since he was born which may seem nice, but Alex hates the idea he hasn't been anywhere outside of it. Not even to travel. Alex loved hanging out with his older brother, Benjamin, and looked up to him. One day while he was outside playing with his older brother, Ben shoved Alex's face into the ground and forced him to eat dirt. After that, Ben left crying Alex to hangout with some friends. Whilst Alex was crying, a couple kids came up to him and asked if he wanted to join them. Wiping his tears away, he said yes.
To this day, Alex strongly believes it was the best decision he had ever made. Every time they hung out all Alex felt was happiness. He would spend every second he could with them and their imaginary world, Otherworld. But all good things come to an end, right?
When Helena got into her accident, Alex didn't really show that he cared. He had bottled it up inside, and pretended like he didn't care, even though he did. He watched as one of his friends parted from the group, and contemplated if he should too. Alex wasn't the first to leave, but he was quick to go. Even though he had left, he would constantly talk about Otherworld to his family, and the new friends he had made which made his parents worried. They thought he was too old to have any imaginary friends so they sent him to a therapist. Along with therapy, they also signed him up for several sports to keep his mind busy. Although he didn't like sports, he did find something he did like, Filming.
One year after Helena's accident, Alex got his first video camera, and he absolutely fell in love with it. He started with making little scenes, then he moved on to short movies, and is currently trying to come up with an idea for an actual movie. More than not, he carries his first video camera around with him even though he has new, better cameras and equipment.
Alex was never one to remember things very well but Otherworld, he remembers perfectly. Whether he likes it or not, he can't seem to forget Otherworld and the imaginaries. Even though he remembers, he pretends he has forgotten. As for the other kids from the Six, he has completely cut them off. He sees them but doesn't care to talk to them.
