Bio: According to his brother Jayden, when Alex was born their father broke down in tears of joy. Though eventually he would dismiss that claim as just an act of kindness to protect Alex from an ugly truth. Jayden was born 5 years prior to Alex and lived a love filled life with both their parents. This would have continued through the birth of Alex if not for the death of their mother during child birth. The doctors said if Alex wasn't thrashing around so much then the procedure would've gone smoother and perhaps allowed the mother to live. Growing up, their father did all he could to be the single dad they needed. Showing both of them equal attention and support at a young age. That is, until Alex was around 13 years old. Their father started recognizing their mother more and more in Alex's face. As the year progressed their father lost his job and became an alcoholic and violent. One night he got enraged at Alex for not taking the trash out and it evolved into beating him and yelling at him with claims that he is solely responsible for the death of their mother. Jayden got home from work and called the police as soon as he witnessed it. Three months later the father committed suicide in his prison cell. From then on Jayden took on many jobs to support them both.
When Alex turned 18 they both agreed to join the Marines. The brothers were close than they ever were, completing all their training and deployments side by side. Everything seemed perfect, Alex even made a girlfriend named Sarah and both Jayden and Alex made a best name Dave. The four were inseperable and cared for each other. After a couple years the group wanted to vacation somewhere together but unfortunately Alex chose to complete a training of his instead. When the three returned to base, Alex could tell right away something was off but when he asked they all denied anything was up. Throughout the year Sarah became more distant from Alex and he knew she was cheating on him. A couple deployments has given Alex a severe case of paranoia so one night he went to her room to hopefully catch her in whatever act he can catch. But instead he found the door cracked and Sarah's lifeless, bloody body on the bed with a golden locket in her hand with a picture of him and her together that he took before reporting the situation. A few days later, after asking many questions of his friends he found Jayden to be holding something back. He took his suspicions to his best friend Dave who supported his thoughts with suspicions of his own. They both confronted Jayden and when he asked, Jayden just stood in silence, trying to come up with a good reason. "Alex...look I'm sorry but" BANG!
Before Jayden could finish Alex had shot him right in the chest, his apologetic expression and by what he was saying Alex was convinced of his actions. A tear fell down his face as he watched his brother gasping for air, dying on the floor. Dave walked up to Alex from behind and put his hand on his shoulder. "You did the right thing Alex, I know he was your brother. But he was a monster, how could he kill the woman you loved. Holding that locket you gave her even in the end, she really loved you back." Alex's expression changed to shock as he felt like his heart dropped. Turning around he pushed Dave away and pointed the gun at him. "I took that necklace Dave, nobody knew she was holding it." Dave just chuckled and stuttered as he tried to come up with something clever, before he could he reached into his holster and as he aimed his pistol they both shot and both fell to the ground. Alex sat up slightly, holding his shoulder where he was hit, and seeing a hole in Dave's head. All of a sudden he hears the low tone voice of Jayden trying to speak. Pulling hiself closer to his body Alex listened as Jayden explained the whole story. When the three of them went on vacation, Dave and Sarah hooked up. Jayden caught them but promised not to say anything so as to protect Alex but told Sarah to break up with him as nicely as she can but she decided to stopp seeing Dave instead. But that didn't happen they kept seeing each other and when Sarah felt too guilty she broke it off with Dave and unable to accept, he killed her.
Alex could not see due to the tears constantly filling his eyes as he watched his brother slip away. Laying there, he slowly pointed the pistol to his head, the sadness gained from learning the truth and being betrayed by his best friend and the guilt of killing the one person who never betrayed him and always protected him was too much to live with. Right before his pulled the trigger an looking man with a monocle poke his head over, looking down at Alex. The man gave his proposal and Alex knew exactly what he would wish for that would forever cure his paranoia and prevent something like this from ever happeneing again. So he immediately accepted.
Specific wish: The ability to read thoughts.
