Abstract ProxyAlexander Hamish Cortland
Age~ 24
Gender~ Male
Personality~
Alex is a very sensitive and kind individual. He can feel the pain that others are feeling, and adjusts his personality to fit their needs. Being able to see the inner person, as well as their outward mask, Alex is able to distinguish how he needs to act around anyone he is with. Fake people are like poison, and he avoids them at all costs. With a deep sense of morality and idealisim, you might call him a dreamer, but he is capable of taking concrete steps to realize his goals and make a lasting impact. Helping others is something he loves to do, but even though you could probably find him feeding the homeless and helping those in need, what he really wants to do is get to the heart of the issue so people don't need to be saved at all. Though soft-spoken, he has very strong opinions and will fight tirelessly for an idea he believes in. He is decisive and strong-willed, but rarely uses that energy for personal gain. Alex acts with creativity, imagination, conviction, and sensitivity not to create an advantage, but to create balance. He believes that nothing would help the world so much as using love and compassion to soften the hearts of tyrants.
A walking contridiction is what one might call Alex. He is kind and warm, and yet can be cold and sarcastic, he is creative and idealistic, but logical and pragmatic. Sensitive, dedicated and passionate, yet he can shut off his emotions and give up on ideas. Being this way has caused him to be very careful as to who he lets in, as some people find his unpredictable personality a bit overwhelming. Thus around people that he doesn't know well, he is cool, polite, awkward and kind, whereas when he is around people he knows well Alex is energetic, almost bubbly, witty, and warm. He is extremely private and doesn't open up easily, yet on occasion he will let in some people faster then others.
Due to his unique ability to read persons personalities, he knows your intentions and what kind of a person you are as soon as he meets you. At times, he may seem to know you even better then you know yourself. This fact, despite his kindness, makes him one of the most dangerous people you could ever meet. He's not the type to get revenge, but if you give him a reason he will open up, create, and mutilate every emotional wound you have. Alex knows your weaknesses, he knows what will hurt you, and it scares him to know just how easily he could emotionally rip someone apart, and that is another reason why he is so introverted and shy. He is scared of the monster living inside his mind. Scared that at some point, someone will make him angry enough to unleash it.
In short, Alex is a very kind and warmhearted person that will fight to protect his moral standards and his own personal code, and if you double cross him it will be the worst mistake of your life. When he decides you are his friend, Alex will protect you and be there for you until the end of his life.
History~
Alexander was born to a wealthy military family in southern England. Growing up he had the finest tutors, started learning combat from an early age, and picked up hobbies very quickly. Piano was something he was especially gifted at. Composition and music came to him almost as easily as breathing, and he had wanted to be a musician. A prodigy, he was called. His father started to groom him from an early age to keep on the family tradition of joining the military, getting married, have a child, groom them to join the military, repeat, but Alex wanted more.
When Alex was 15 years old he met a very odd American woman by the name of Kacey Johnson. Her personality and tales of her adventures in the east excited him, he wanted to be like her. He became her student, learning strategy, the American way of fighting, and a little bit of her knowledge of medicine, but they focused mainly on combat. One day he heard of a terrible accident that happened, resulting in the death of Kacey’s husband and three-year-old son. He knew that Kacey would be leaving, but he wanted to go with her. His father would never allow it, and far be it from Kacey to take care of him while she was having her own troubles. She promised him that if he looked for her when he was older, she would take him in and let him continue his studies with her, which is exactly what happened.
He came to America when he was eighteen years old and spent two years looking for Kacey. It was a bit of a shock to him when he found that she was now the leader of a gang, but he still asked to be her student again out of loyalty to her. He knew it would be an adventure, and an adventure was what Alex had been looking for in the first place.
Weaknesses~ Can be too forgiving and absolutely hates conflict. He has never been able to bring himself to kill anyone.
Strengths~ While he won’t kill anyone, he is excellent at hand-to-hand combat, shooting, and is an excellent horseman. He doesn’t kill, but he’ll disable someone in a heartbeat.
Other~ N/A
Pic/Description~
He has dark brown, almost black hair and bright amber eyes. A little bit on the skinny side, he stands at a decent 6’0. Not the most intimidating person at first glance, especially when you see the smile that he is almost always wearing. He tries to keep himself looking decent, though it’s not uncommon to find him with dirt on his face and messy hair as he runs around, trying to get everything done since he procrastinates till the last second.
