A young orphan seen often around the free clinic in the basin, reading books in the waiting room.
Whatever book he happens to be reading at the time. A small electronic pill container/alarm full of several different kinds of pills.
Powers: Alex is a gifted psychic, capable of creating powerful telekinetic barriers and fields, capable of using these things to manipulate the objects around him. The larger the field or barrier the more of his concentration it takes and the greater toll it has on him. He is capable of lifting, throwing and otherwise manipulating objects around him using invisible telekinetic fields, as well as projecting the fields themselves as a high speed projectile.
Alex was once nothing more than an orphan lost in the system, shuffled from orphanage to foster home to orphanage. Like many in the basin however, his life has gotten slowly better in the last year. No longer lost in the system, Alex is seen often out and about now with books and clean clothes, happy. However he does spend much of his time at the clinic, with many other children, having to take medication by injection every few days, and pills every few hours.
