Hey Mick :p
Name: Alf Hanson
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Male
Species: Gifted Human
Abilities: Since his eleventh birthday Alf is able to see fae creatures. Moreover, in his veins flow sparks of power deriving from nothing less than the norse god of light Baldr (who, actually, was an incredibly powerful summer fae). He is, unfortunately, unaware of these divine abilities and of his heritage passed on by his danish ancestors. Most of his powers lie dormant, still, he is capable with great willforce to shift the light in his field of sight, altering the look of his surroundings. Other than that, he is your average american teen, fond of sports, music and art, friendly to most and with good grades.
Bio: Alf grew up in a lively household, where elements of vitality and creativity came together in a complementary fashion. He therefore appears full of youthful vigor and humor, though his stubbornness and silly behaviour often classify him as immature. He discharges his energy always giving himself something to do, avoiding remaining idle or slacking around when things allow it. In fact, his character is variable, and, depending on the period and his mood, changes form and expression. He doesn't quite know what he wants yet, but neither puts his efforts in discovering it. He manages his life on a week-basis, not always questioning himself about the future, yet searching for long term relationships of any kind. His life rolls by and by, and although this may not be favourable in the long run, he is happy, and thus doesn't question himself. Towards others he is very solar and soft-hearted, even naïve and gullible at times: thanks to this he is surrounded by a decent amount of friends, of whom he has and at the same time hasn't necessity to enjoy the day. He really likes music, especially medieval-ish one, although he is completely incapable of playing any instrument outside of the flute. Creativity and imagination are highly valued by him, characteristics he passionately looks for in every person he meets.
Despite its unlikelihood, Alf managed to live a fairly normal childhood in Valor. His parents, Caroline and John, both originally from Los Angeles, moved in Valor when his mother inherited a rather big property from a distant uncle of hers. They mutually believed the fresh air of the small town would have been the perfect place to raise their first daughter. Good intentions do not always turn out to be such. He was born two years later, and was shortly followed by another sister. With a video-games designer father, an energetic paramedic mother and two overly affectionate sisters, no wonder he was brought up so happy-go-lucky and relaxed. During the first years of his teens, the shock caused by the sudden enrollment in the military of his older sister allowed him to discover his ancestral powers long dormant. Moreover, he realized he could see fae, thing he never shared with anyone, and thus is as of the day unaware that others may as well.
Other details: His nickname is Alfie. He is somewhat thrilled by reversed damsel-in-distress situations. When scared he shrieks like a girl. He is, ironically, scared of spiders, slimy things and filth. He plays soccer, although his skills are definitely meager. Lately, a wood fae has illegally taken up residence in an old oak in front of his window, and often likes to tease him while he studies.
