AVIAN PHYSIOLOGY: Alfred's primary ability is that of natural flight, due to his large white feathered wings that sprout from his shoulder blades. His wings have superhuman strength, and they have a very flexible skeletal structure that enables him to press them to the back of his torso and legs with only the slightest bulge visible under her clothing. His anatomy are comparable to those of birds, especially birds of prey. His bones are hollow, and his body processes food much more efficiently than a normal and does not store any excess fat, so he possesses a greater proportionate muscle mass than normal. As a result, his strength, agility, endurance, reflexes, coordination, balance, eyesight and hearing are at their peak. He can breathe at high velocities or altitudes, and can cope with the reduced temperatures at high altitudes for prolonged periods of time, giving him a greater-than-normal capacity to endure low temperatures in areas such as the Arctic. Since being on Earth, Alfred has flown in a matter of two instances and it has become obvious to him that he has lost most of this part of himself. His enhanced senses have somewhat diminished. He will occasionally have one flare up but it is often useless in nature. Lately he has been sneaking off to fly in Kielder Forest, he misses the feeling of the wind and being untouchable. His progress is slow, but progress nonetheless.
PEACE INDUCEMENT: Alfred is able to sense the rage, aggression and distress in others and is able to induce peace and calm in them, deflecting the rage away. On Aurum, this was mainly used for crowd control and violent individuals and Alfred was quite skilled at this ability. So much so, that he often just radiated peace and almost everyone around him tended to feel more at ease and contentment. On Earth, he has somewhat brought his aura of calm with him within close proximity but it seems he is only able to induce peace in one sole individual at a time by touch.
PUNISHMENT: Probably the reason most are often weary around him - or any of the flight district is his ability ultimately labeled "punishment". Alfred can physically or mentally "punish" any being for breaking the law. For Alred this manifested into banishment; such as from a certain place of area of his choosing. As for undocumented persons it was back to their home planet. He knows he is capable for mental manifestation of guilt and physical torment but he never used any part of that ability while on Aurum. Frankly, Alfred doesn't know how Earth has affected this part of him as he has never used it in any occasion - and for the time being doesn't plan on it. However, he's always been curious if he could possibly banish himself back to Aurum in an effort to go home.
BINDING: One of his most useful abilities on Aurum, Alfred is able to bind individuals with restraints, often manifesting as cuffs around either the hands or legs. For some reason, this ability has not been effected at all while being on Earth and he's used it a few times on some unruly individuals.
POWER NEGATION: Alfred can completely negate an individuals powers rendering them completely human. This can only be achieved through touch and only lasts for a few minutes. Just enough to detain an individual on Aurum. On Earth, Alfred has no clue what has changed about this ability since he hasn't used it.

APPEARANCExxxWhen he was small Alfred's mother used to call him "fledgling" as it took the boy a couple of years to grow into his height. For some time he was lanky, awkward and terribly skinny. His father believed even the smallest gust of wind would push him down. Now his lanky structure when he was younger is filled out with lean muscle from countless hours of training and exercise. Tousled, curly, golden brown waves, bright blue eyes, and a chiseled bone structure frame his strong - yet soft face. He has grown out of his 'boyish-ness' completely leaving a handsome young man. Yet, he still has his sprinkle of freckles across his nose that darken in the sunlight. On Earth, as his Avian senses faded he has since started wearing tortoise shell lenses to help with his eyesight. The most impressive part of his appearance however are his large wings that sprout out of his shoulder blades; the feathers as white as fresh powdered snow.
While on Aurum he didn't have much to wear as his style was always constricted to his uniform, but on Earth he has had more free range. His style is still quite classic and homey, button-ups and soft sweaters to keep warm from the chilly London weather.

When it came to his friends and loved ones he was always very kind and understanding of the others, often being the sole mediator of the arguments as he always tried to see things through an unfiltered lens. Although he couldn't deny his peace inducement always gave him the upper hand. The man is levelheaded, he's the one who would step in with no hesitation to break up a fight between friends or try to talk sense into them if they were to ever stray. Petty insults don't really affect him as he takes them as a grain of salt but you can only poke a bear so much before it gets mad. While he doesn't have a mean streak, he can become irritated quite easily when things don't go his way. He's never really outward with his anger however and prefers just to passionately brood by himself when he can get away. But he has a limit, and Alfred is someone most don't want to see truly angry. He sometimes is very private and sensitive, internalizing his feelings a great deal. Much in the way that he protect others' feelings, he protects his own, and this lack of healthy emotional expression can lead to a lot of stress and frustration for himself. Understanding himself and his place in Aurum has always been quite important to Alfred, he wants nothing more than to prove himself to others.
While on the outside he is seen as a 'enforcer of the law', those who truly know him see a complete teddy bear. Kind-hearted by nature, Alfie has always done things to make others smile and feel happy even if it's out of his way. It's infectious to others, and comes off as charming. At the end of the day however, to him, it's just what's right. He has an excellent sense of humor and he definitely doesn't hide it from anyone. He loves to make others smile and laugh as it breaks his intimidating stigma.
In the Flight District, the Hanstons are very respected individuals and much of Alfie's life has been living up to his parent's expectations. Everything has always been rather straightforward for Alfie, ever since he was a child. Raised with strict morals, Alfred has never strayed from being the man his father was to Aurum. Alfie wanted nothing more than to give his father a sense of pride, and with that he became one of the most high ranking officials in the Flight District at such a young age. He was always one to carefully plan out everything, instead of jumping into a situation blindly. He's quite stern when it comes to his work and though he loves to goof around keeping Aurum safe is his top priority. Among the others in the District, he is quite the charmer, but it's never intentional. Alfred's personality often comes off as flirtatious to some but it's just his kind-hearted nature of complimenting and swagger that can charm the pants off of most. Being an enforcement officer has taught him that charm is one of the most effective traits you can possess, not only does it put forth a good image, but it also puts other's at ease.
He indefinitely adheres to an unwavering moral code instilled in him by his parents. His strong sense of justice, morality, and righteousness can sometimes be a problem for others. His commitment to operating within the law and rules has stirred resentment and criticism among others, often making him look like the ultimate kiss-up. Alfred can be rather rigid in this area, causing tensions among the others. He truly can't help his loyalty sometimes as it was ingrained in his brain at such a young age.
Deep down any outsider can see that Alfred has the making to be a great protector, with an open and passionate mind. He will lay his life on the line to help nearly anyone he comes across, no matter the situation. When it comes down to it he will make hard decisions to protect that of his family and Aurum.

His father was still very involved in his work while Alfie was young, seeing as he was the councilman which caused their time together to be very thin. The time that they did spend together his father trained him to be everything he is today. Essentially, prepping Alfred to be councilman of the Flight District when he was of age. When he first began in law enforcement he was unstoppable and nothing made him more happier than his job - that was until he met Harlow.
They had been petty rivals, placed together on a few patrols, always teasing each other (maybe a little flirtatious). Alfred wouldn't admit it at the time, but he was a goner the moment he laid eyes on her. Her drive, her passion, all of it made her strong - and he never respected anyone more than he respected Harlow. Their engagement was a complete shock to Alfred and he couldn't deny that the first few months were terribly uncomfortable, as it should have been. However, all it took was time before he fell for her even harder and soon there was nothing he wanted more than to be by her side. To kiss each of the freckles on her face and fly to the highest buildings in Aurum to watch the most beautiful sunsets. Which is why when she left - Alfred was broken.
She left with nothing but the wind in her wake. At first he thought she had been taken, he spent countless hours with Teleportation scanning security footages for any sign of her. He often spent full nights awake in his bed watching the door waiting for her return. For a brief period he even believed her to be dead. Nobody knew where she was- her family had fallen completely off the grid. Alfred was heartbroken. It was then the idea of the cause of her leave became himself.
By then the rebellion had hit Aurum full blown and he threw his grief into his work. He went mad with it. It wasn't until the day his father was paralyzed that he snapped out of his trance. It had been a member of the rebellion from the lightning district, shocked his father to a near inch within death. The healers took days to bring him back but by then they could only save his mind and not his body.
It was his mother's idea. To leave. Alfred wouldn't have gone if she hadn't pleaded for him to go - promising that there was a better purpose for him on a different planet. He didn't want to believe her, but deep down he was afraid. Afraid of what would happen to Aurum, and in the end cowardice was the cause of his absence.
On Earth, he landed into the bustling city of London, where he found work quickly and bounced between places to stay before he could finally earn a flat of his own. He laid low, not drawing attention to himself working small jobs for common people. It was then, Alfred truly understood loneliness and every night wondered if he had made the right decision.
