Overview: Alex is pretty damn hot! xD But seriously, he is an average guy. Six foot four, one-hundred and sixty pounds roughly, he isn't anything special. He prefers his brown hair to remain a medium length, usually down to the middle of his face or so and tries to keep himself pretty well groomed, all while maintaining his messy look. xD
He dresses casual most of the time, liking to stick with the basics. You will usually find him in a tee shirt and jeans, with sneakers and a few additions like a hoodie or even a beanie. He also adds wrist bands and such to put some flare in there. Aside from that, he wears quite a few shirts with band names on them, as he had a large interest in music.
A few of his other interests include animals as he is a huge animal lover, especially dogs. He likes the sun but prefers overcast skies and rain, and he isn't against a good book or checking out some good art from time to time as he is artistic himself and likes designing tattoos. He likes video games like any other guy, but he can't stand clowns or needles, as he hates both from childhood experiences.
Alex is pretty much the definition of crazy. If you could know anyone that loves to have fun, he would probably beat them all. Since he was a kind, Alex was always center of attention. He had a hard time being serious or really focusing and though that changed when high school hit, he still enjoys being the one to make others laugh and being random.
Alex could be described as the friend everyone wants. He gets along with more everyone he meets, having that fun-loving personality that sort of clicks with everyone really well. Although he had a few people he may not like so much and vise versa, he isn't one to get on them about it or cause an issue. He simply leaves you to do as you please though he is in no way weak or unable to defend himself.
He is also a bit of a jealous person. Usually only in relationships will this side show. It is not really a matter of him not liking his significant other to have friends of the opposite gender, just more that he is cautious as to who those friends are. Since he is a guy and knows how guys can be, he is just a little skeptical and suspicious if he thinks you maybe trying to hit on his girl.
Alex isn't a picky person. He doesn't have much of a type as long as you are laid back like him and willing to have fun. He can't stand stuck up people and usually keeps away from them. Though he grew up with money, it isn't a big thing for him and he doesn't judge or categorize a person based off how much they have or make.
Down to earth, funny, and caring, Alex is very much that caring guy friend as well as the romantic and fun boyfriend. But don't get on his bad side either. All in all, he just wants to enjoy live, be a good person, and make something of himself. I mean, come on, who doesn't!?

[/size]Overview: Alex was born and raised in Coral Ridge. Growing up in a small family, he was an only child to a Lawyer (father) and a Wedding Dress Designer (mother). Although he was an only child and his parents usually worked full time, he always had a pretty good relationship with both, never really having had a problem with either parent. During his younger years, he was told that he may have a problem with ADHD, having had a hard time focusing in school and getting things done. But later, it was soon dismissed when corrected.
Alex was always a friendly person, and making friends in his neighborhood was easy for him to do. Though he enjoyed hanging out with kids his age, he usually found himself going with students younger than himself and ended up being a role model and leader among them. The year he started Middle School, Alex met Izzy Hawthorne, a fun-loving and energetic girl who was much like himself. They hit it off instantly, both sharing the same interests and such things.
Having grown close, Alex and Izzy continued through middle school together. They started a band with a friend of theirs, Eli, when they were much younger, keeping music a big part of their relationship. As high school approached, things began to get a little rocky. Alex's parents began to fight a bit, and he knew better than anyone what the outcome would be. Around the first year of high school, Alex's parents split, sending his world spiraling out of control.
Alex got into alcohol and began using it in hopes to fix his problems. As usual, it didn't and he only wound up getting into trouble. It took multiple talks with his parents and guidance counselor before he was willing to really open up and share how he felt about the arrangement. Finally, after months of work, Alex began to slow his actions, figuring it wasn't worth the trouble. Besides, he had a band to think about.
Getting back involved with Izzy and Eli, he began to forget about the bad and focused on what he needed to do. With plans to graduate with good grades and family relationships to mend, he began to work on putting his life back on track. His father and mother were able to come to an agreement about living arrangements with their sun and also decided it best to end on good terms which they finally did.
High school continued on like normal. Now, Alex is a senior in high school. Although he still sometimes struggles with the fact that his parents divorced, he tries not to let it affect him or his relationships with others. As far as relationships go anyways, he really is starting to take an interest in Izzy, though he figures it best not to say anything and ruin a perfectly good friendship. Otherwise, he lives taking one day at a time and tries his best to see the good in everything. What's life if you can't have fun!?

Roleplay Sample:
From another site I am part of!)
It wasn’t something Ethan was used to; waking up late. After all, since he had left school and pretty much been jobless, he had very little to do during the day and it probably bothered him more than anything. Ethan wasn’t one to just sit around. He had a love for sports and parties but found himself being a part of neither recently. His missed his friends who had hung out with him regularly when he was at Ashwood.
The thought of them made him run his fingers through his hair and sigh as he sat up in his bed, glancing around the room. He was glad he had his own place, though his parents were paying for it at the moment. It was nice though, being able to stay somewhere without being bothered by anyone when he woke up in the mornings. Still, he missed having company. Thoughts of Rachel pushed in his mind but he pushed them back, struggling out of the covers and heading to the shower to get ready for the day.
Yawning, he washed himself off, letting the steam swirl around him and into the room before shutting off the water and getting out. It took him no time to dry off and get dressed, styling his hair in its usual messy way before glancing in the mirror to check himself.
He really had no special plans for the day, but he needed to get out and do something. He knew that the chances of him running into someone he knew were kind of high. Students or alumni stayed in the area locally so he saw a few of them. The question was whether or not they would have time for him. He grabbed his phone and a key, making sure his wallet was in his back pocket, before walking out the door.
The marketplace was a little busy, people hurrying down the sidewalk to get to where they needed to be. He knew that he would probably see more people in town than here but he wasn’t really in the mood to go there right now. He headed towards a Starbucks, grabbing a coffee before heading outside to sit on a bench. He sipped his Mocha Latte and looked around, watching children with their parents laugh as the parents hurried them along, smiling at their kids.
It was a nice sight, seeing people in such a good mood, but as music his ears his attention turned to a man with a guitar only a few away past him. He listened as the man played, impressed with how well he did. Only a few people were stopping to enjoy it and even fewer were tossing money in. He rose an eyebrow as the song ended and the man took a break. He waited until he started up his next song before standing and grabbing his wallet. Reaching in, he pulled out a hundred dollar bill and put it in.
Talent was worth more to Ethan that entertainment. A guy this good shouldn’t be singing in the marketplace but at least he had something to watch today. The song continued and Ethan found himself tapping his foot to the rhythm and smiled, taking another sip of coffee. The music wasn’t loud and over bearing, it was almost relaxing. The lyrics were perfectly written and he couldn’t help but wonder if they were the man’s own. When the song finally reached an end, Ethan stood and walked to the guy, smiling a little. ”You are really good man. Did you write that?”
