Personality: Alex is a quite reserved man, believing in the saying, always appear less then you are. As such he tends to keep to himself, speaking mostly only when spoken, and keeping his emotions guarded. This has caused him to have few friends as people never really took to the quite man in the corner. Despite that he is a very compassionate and protective of those he considers friends, loyal to them and willing to protect them with his own life. Though he is normally calm and controls of emotion, friends and family are his weakness as if they are threatened or endangered he can act impulsively.

He has a few scars, one on his leg running up the inner side of his left calf, right above his hips on the left side, one just under the pits of both arms, and over his collar bone. The worst though is a scar running from his stomach all the way up to his chest making a perfect line from surgery he had after a bad motorcycle crash that caused them all.
Biography:Alex was born in San Diego California, to Jayson and Mira Rhodes. He grew up in what is known as 32nd ST, a prominently Mexican neighborhood. His father an Ex-marine, his mother first generation american and a simple school teacher at the high school. Military was a family thing, his grand-father was a Pilot on B-52s during WW2. Though his father was discharged due to a medical condition Alex himself had all intent on joining as soon as he turned 18, much to his mothers dismay as she wanted him to take a safer job. His father on the other hand couldn't of been prouder.
His father used his Military benefits to open up a Garage, and was also a well respected member of the community. Because they lived in a rougher neighborhood it was pretty cheap, and for the most part they were able to live off his fathers disability allowing him to use his garage for community work. This allowed him to do some favors for people, who couldn't really afford to get there vehicles fixed or needed other kinds of help. This is one of the reasons Alex has the morals he does. His father teaching him to help people out if he could.
Because of the area though it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. The neighborhood was overrun with gangs so his father taught him how to defend himself, and that he should only fight in defense of himself or others. Alex spent most of his days with his father, training, hanging around the garage, even helping fix the cars. he did however have some troubles at school. He wasn't the best student, but he did well enough. Shop was his best class. Mostly cars and motorcycles were his only real interest to him. Though he did get into the occasional fight, some one being harassed or others picked on by others and he would step in. Even that was cut down once California started putting guards and metal detectors in schools.
Alex started talking to requiters when he turned 16 already knowing that was what he was going to do. The only real challenge was picking a branch, army, navy marines and air force really just wanting to see what would be the best fit for him. What jobs they were offering and what he wanted. All that changed one night however. It was just a normal day and he was out late with some friends, mostly riding motorcycles around the city living up there youth. He was riding down a dark rode on his way home when some one walked out in front of him. Because of that wreck he was put into a coma for nearly a month, damaging nearly every organ, breaking his collar bone, deflating both lungs and braking his left leg. It was a miracle he survived, and even more so that he recovered so well, besides a few scars he healed up fine. His parents praised God.
That put his life on hold a bit, pushed his school a head as he missed a large portion and had to retake his senior year. After the accident he started to notice things changing, he was more then getting better.
