Appearance: Aleks is a pale boy who stands at about 5’4”. He has medium length messy dark brown hair that he hardly ever takes the effort to groom into anything other than a ruffled mess. He has a pretty light build which sort of matches his short demeanor in a way. His eyes are a nice dark shade of green. He has multiple scars on his knees from all of his falls he took while learning to do his acrobatic tricks.
Personality: Aleks is often kind of joking and sarcastic. He tries not to take things too seriously because you’ll drive yourself crazy thinking about everything 100% serious at all time. He can say the wrong thing sometimes and mess up the intention of his words. He still tries his best with words and people but he’s socially awkward with people, even friends. Despite his usual attitude under pressure he can’t usually find it in himself to make a joke or even speak when not nessecary.
History: Aleks had lived in a small town with his parents and all went well for a while. The family got by on an honest living but it didn’t last forever. When wall Maria fell the town was far enough away that they weren’t immediately affected but were still made to evacuate. This understandably caused panic but with little people to control the townsfolk anarchy ensued. It was a terrifying experience for young Aleks but what was worse was that in the panic his mom had been killed. They had lost track of her for a moment and when they had found her again she had a slit throat in an alleyway. After that Aleks’s father took him to the evacuation zone for his safety and the two made it to safety. They lived in a larger town now but much more crowded and with far less food. Aleks decided he would join the military to stop this kind of stuff from happening. He knew first hand it wasn’t just the physical being of titans that plagued humanity, it was the constant fear and thought of them.
Other: Aleks actually keeps a journal to write things he feels are important. While the writing in the journal is getting scarce he still finds time every so often to write in it and the pace at which he does so is increasing.
