Alex

Theme of Post

The room was dark. The only sources of light were the small slit of sunshine peeking through the curtains and the computer screen at which Alex was sitting in front of. Yet again he had stayed up through the night editing his next YouTube video. Honestly, he did do better work at night but it definitely wasn't good for his sleep schedule. He set the video to start exporting so he could upload it and looked at the time. "Ah, crap! Already 10?" Alex quickly got out of his seat and pulled back the blinds. His roommate groaned at the sudden bright light in the room. Alex began rushing around the room gathering his books and throwing on some non-pajama clothing. Before Alex could exit the room the other occupant of the room spoke up, "What are you doing?"

"It's 10. Got class in a few minutes." The, until now, unnamed roommate Jake let out a slight chuckle. "Dude, you need to pay more attention. There is no way this is the first time you've been told that classes were canceled today." Judging by the expression on Alex's face one might have guessed that it was but, in fact, he was starting to vaguely remember at least one of his teachers mentioning this fact the other day. Well, way more than just one. Sighing Alex tossed his bag back towards his bed, "I remember now. Why are classes canceled anyway?"

"Seriously? Do you actively try to forget about anything not happening on that computer screen?" At this point, Jake filled Alex in on the information that Alex definitely should've known. "Anyway, there is some meeting at the community center at noon and since most of the professors are apart of this community they decided to cancel classes for the day."

"Seems like a publicity stunt by the school administration. How much ya wanna bet that after everyone learns what happened they hold some kinda event. Maybe a charity so they get to look sympathetic."

"No idea. Maybe. Everything just seems kinda weird. If they found her it'd probably be out already, and if there was some crime involved you'd think they'd keep it quiet for now."

"The curious case of the Mayor's Missing Progeny. Could easily be a Sherlock Holmes novel." As of late, Alex's mind has been enveloped in old detective stories and movies. This is in large part due to how his teacher tasked him to make a crime film. Whatever genre Alex had the right to choose and he was thinking along the lines of one of those old Sherlock Holmes movies but he had no real idea of how to bring it to life. Alex started thinking about his assignment but then his roommate suggested an interesting idea. "You know, if it does turn out there was some foul play involved there will be a LOT of people clamoring for details. You could go to that meeting and record it."

"Why? There's already bound to be a lot of cameras there. What point would there be in adding mine?"

"Because, if there was a crime involved it's likely the media will be used to tell the truth the mayor wants to be told. Happens all the time in cop shows. Also, it'd give you an easy out for that end of term assignment, and if it's any good may get ya some big recognition."

"So, what you expecting me to do? Be a modern Sherlock Holmes recording my exploits and putting away bad guys?"

"Pretty much. You're smart enough. These past four years I've known you I've seen you watching people like a hawk. Throw in that acting ability to get in the mind of a character and you can be a makeshift detective." Alex laughed. Sure he liked to watch people but he wasn't able to pick up the little details, and he could easily put his mind into a character but characters on a screen and on stage are a little different to actual people. He hated to admit it though that the idea sounded a little fun to him. There was also the added bonus that a real-time documentary of a crime would make it so he didn't have to put as much work into his film project.

"Okay. I'll admit I am interested in the idea but if I were to do it I'd need a Watson. Would you be up for it?"

"No can do compadre. I may want to be a cop but I'm not smart enough to be a detective. What about Kiley?"

"Nah, she's actually graduating this semester and needs to focus on getting into a good med school. I won't bother her. Guess I'll just have to hope someone else I know would be up for it."

"Good luck with that. Other than your professors you know, what maybe 10 other people?" The two chuckled a little and Alex grabbed a pillow chunking it at Jake. "Hardy har har. I'm gonna leave before your insults make me do something you'll regret." Alex picked his bag back up emptying it of his textbooks and throwing in a Holmes novel or two in case he got bored. He threw the bag over his shoulder, grabbed his camera, and was on his way.

Upon exiting the University he turned his camera on and began recording the town. If everything went in his favor then he might as well get some good shots of the general scenery for an opening shot with one of those opening monologues talking about the general information for the situation. Alex was lost in his own world until he heard the call of a vaguely familiar voice but one that Alex would have no chance of placing. He turned the camera in the direction of the voice to see that the guy was calling out to someone who Alex actually recognized. It was the redhead who worked at the cinema. Unfortunately, Alex couldn't remember her name. Only that it started with a 'P'. Alex started thinking. If he was gonna actually do this crime documentary thing then at some point he'd need some interviews. Sure these two likely knew nothing but every documentary had that set of interviews asking random locals their thoughts. However, he couldn't just straight up tell them it was about the mayor's daughter's disappearance. That'd be weird. Especially if nothing came of the town meeting. He'd have to think of something. He made up his mind and began crossing the street in their direction. Hopefully, this didn't seem too strange.

Emerald City

Decided to do this in all one go in one post as info from one might actually help towards info for another. Sorry for how long it is.

Possible reasons for Alex knowing this character.

Lily Turner

Depends partially on if she went to the college or not. Same age so could have had the same classes in freshmen year despite differing majors. Could have gotten to know each other from there. Same deal with if he or Kiley had classes with Elizabeth at any point. If they became friends he likely would've met Lily at some point through Liz.

Another way could be if she at any point for any reasons went to Sonic Beats. He worked there quite a lot. Or, if she went to one of the film festivals at either the community center or cinema. Maybe even his main hangout Retro Legends. He did happen upon the community center from time to time.

Elizabeth Baker

Fairly similar reasons as with Lily. They may have seen each other at the Cozy Bear Cafe as it's Elle's favorite place to go. She definitely would occasionally drag Alex and Kiley there. Also, there is the unfortunate thing about Elle that she likes to play matchmaker so she may have tried to get them near each other occasionally if she was friendly enough with Liz.

Pepper Rockwell

I'm pretty sure we already talk about this a bit but yeah. Even though he does make short films and the like he is more into the theater side of things and doesn't actually go to watch movies often other than to support his classmates and the occasional blockbuster. He gets most of his outdoor entertainment form Retro Legends. (Outdoor as in out of his dorm.)

Leo Sullivan

Unless he goes to any of the local film festivals or, despite him being 23, gets convinced to talk to any film students at the university, we could chalk it up to the fact of being really successful from an early age ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, I don't necessarily see them running into each other.

Ollivander Clarke

I know we've lightly chatted already and yeah I'm certain that Alex would try and take as many classes with Ollivander as he could. Outside of that if he ever asked for volunteers for anything, maybe something happening at the community center, then Alex would probably volunteer.

Kei Aiba

I don't really see them knowing each other.

Damon A. Day

Honestly, same as with Kei unless for some reason he happened upon Sonic Beats. I do have to say that I have a gut feeling that Alex might not like him. Not sure though until I see DDay in action.

Jeremy Lindall

Very narrow space of time that they could've met. I have no issue with them knowing each other so I'll say up to you.

Sage Rivera

Unless they met through Uni I don't see them having really met.

Elliot Herring

Unless while he was out taking pictures, he saw this random dude recording skits or short films, Alex, and approached I don't see them running into each other.

Lindsey Bernard

Uhh, well Alex does like anime but he doesn't read manga so... I dunno. Maybe they are best buds on an anime forum site but don't have a clue who each other are outside the screen but constantly pass by each other in the city. That sounds like a bad startline to a cringey light novel that has an oddly specific yet long name.

Genesis Aguilar

I don't really see them being more than he being one of the random Ice Cream customers to her and her being one of the Ice Cream servers to him unless you have any ideas.

Nahla Howard

He doesn't go to bars so unless you have any ideas I don't see them running into each other.

Luke Foster

We already spoke and yeah. No other ideas from me.

Cassiopeia Ricci

Similarly, as with Nahla, Alex doesn't go to bars so definitely no run-in there. Maybe if at some point she ended up at Sonic Beats. I'm all outta ideas.

Dominic Samson

Same as with Nahla and Cassiopeia.

Emerald City

@BeastofDestiny Funnily enough that is something Elle did in a past RP where I used her. Alex also in one RP wrote and directed a play with children from a community center one time.

I vote for having a community center cause they are just plain awesome. Pweaty pwease with a cherry on top?

Emerald City

I’m assuming Moore University has dorms so Alex is there throughout the semester. For Winter break he and Kiley stay with Ollie and Elle other than the days surrounding Christmas but during the summer they go back home.

Alex Woulfe

Alexander Franklin Woulfe (Goes by Alex)


9/13/96


22


Alex stands at an average 5'11" and is of an athletic build. Occasionally playing sports and spending time at the theater had kept him in good shape. Alex has a slight farmer's tan. He has deep blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. Most consider his hairstyle as messy but somehow kept. It's due to how he keeps his hair cut fairly short but only messes with his hair to dry it and eliminate bed head. Alex also has a resting 'don't care' look about him. The only time he shows emotion is during high levels of emotion or when he is acting. There is also a single small scar on the back of his head covered by his hair from an accident when he was four.


Currently enrolled in Moore University studying Performing Arts, specifically a Major in Directing


Works at a music store called 'Sonic Beats' which is run by Oliver and Noelle Woulfe, his brother and sister-in-law respectively


To most Alex appears cold and standoffish, but those who know him well realize he is just a quiet guy. Alex can seem rude, but that is because he is forthright and rarely lets bias change how he deals with things unless he STRONGLY dislikes someone. Alex is fiercely loyal, and if someone hurts or wrongs someone close to him he will defend them, but he rarely defends himself. The loner does love bringing characters to life and enjoys making people happy despite not seeming like it. He has difficulty trusting people, but once you have it, you won't lose it unless you do something to wrong him or those close to him.

Alex doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. He has dabbled in many things and can be considered a jack of all trades, but a master of none. That is what people say who have never seen him playing some character before. He is very talented at putting on a production and even carrying the whole thing on his back at times. However, Alex doesn't see it that way. He would love to be an actor, but due to his self-deprecating personality, he doesn't believe he is any good. Anytime someone compliments him Alex takes it as them being nice and just throwing around compliments to all those involved. He never even tells anyone that he is involved in a production. The only way someone will know he was a part of it is if they go to the show or someone else tells them about it.

All in all, Alex is one of those people that only the ones close to him know him well, but even they don't hear much about what he does with his life. He isn't much for small talk, but if you start speaking with him about something he is passionate about or any deep conversation it will be nearly impossible to get him to shut up. Also in the words of Himeko Inaba from Kokoro Connect, Alex is a selfless freak. If he sees someone in danger or hurt, he will risk his well being to help them. Not because he is a good person, but because he at the time either wants to feel better about his actions or feels that the person is worth more than he is. But deep down his only real desire is to be happy and make others happy.


Alex is a member of a pretty big family. From his older brother and sister to his twin sister and younger brother. Also, a younger girl who his family adopted. When he was younger, he connected fairly well with others, but eventually, someone close to him betrayed him. IE a close friend at the time joined in with some bullies to mock him in order to avoid being bullied as well. Also, almost all of the friend groups he has ever been apart of typically have a large falling out leaving him to have to decide which side he would join. He never could choose, so he always got left behind. He has gotten to the point of blaming himself for these happenings.

Over the next couple of years, he was bullied continuously yet never stood up for himself. Over this period, he closed himself off to many things primarily when it comes to how he feels. He rarely opens up to anyone now. It takes a long time and much kindness. He is fiercely loyal and will always stand by them, but in reverse effect, if they break his trust, he will never be on their side again unless they go to great lengths to get his forgiveness. Once starting high school he did begin opening up, but what he opened up was mostly a colder side of him. Only by trying to get to know him will someone understand who he is.

After graduating high school, Alex and Kiley, his twin sister, decided they both wanted to go to Moore University for multiple reasons. They wanted to go to the same school, the university had just opened so there weren't many people, it was away from their hometown, but there was someone they knew living nearby. Noelle has been a resident of Emerald City since birth and upon marrying Ollie the two got their own house in the city. All of these factors made it a fairly simple choice for the two and they are both nearing their final semesters. During their college years, Alex has stayed fairly low-key working at Sonic Beats for some extra cash and occasionally spending time with others from his classes or his families friends. But mostly his free-time has consisted of just having fun screwing around making random content for YouTube and Twitch.

@The Muse What is the current ruling on multiple characters/NPC's attached to a character because as of right now I do wanna stick with one character but with the one I have in mind there is a specific NPC/PC that I have that usually accompanies the character.

IE in order to make this less confusing they are twins who are college age and usually whenever I play one I try and have the other be around and they tend to be at the same university so was thinking of doing that. But as of right now I was just wanting to directly play one and NPC the other. Not fully sure right now though so wanted your input.

Emerald City

Making something now. Not sure which character to use though.

White Gull [Fairy Tail Spinoff ~ still accepting!]

@Hammerman What if you went with saying that her fog had been mostly down towards the ground? That way with him being up in a tree there’s a chance he may have gotten lucky.
