Alex Departie
Alex is fiercely loyal and protective seventh year Slytherin and would be willing to go to any lengths to help/protect them. And any lengths means any lengths. He cares and values for his own head, of course, but he's more likely to protect the very few he cares about than to leave them to fend for themselves.
When it comes to school, he doesn’t excel in anything. In fact, he simply does fairly well in all of his classes, sans Divination.
Personality-wise Alex is a bit mentally unstable, for one. He has a tendency to be violent, rash, and brutally honest without thinking much of another person’s feelings (again, unless he cares about them. He’ll be honest then, but not AS cruel with it). He’s also COMPLETELY shameless about those who he flirts with, snogs, and so on (well, the youngest has to be at least fifteen. Only real standard).
He’s very much the ‘cliché’ Slytherin, mostly doing things for the greater good of himself, as opposed to what would help others, sans his friends. He's ambitious as all hell and loves nothing more than to 'play' people to his will. He enjoys being able to subtley manipulate them and break a person.
Alex is horrible at Divination. He doesn’t bother with the latter since he’s a more of the ‘live in the moment’ types, as opposed to thinking about the results of his actions. He’d much rather be surprised by his future than know what’s coming. His main weakness is his touchiness and moodiness-- it's quite easy to send him sulking and brooding.
History
Alex was always the odd sort of child. He was shy, rarely socialized with anyone, and kept mostly to his room. He’s never been the type of person who enjoys being around people, in fact, he despises it. His parents were perfectly kind people, so he could never blame this on either of them, so it’s a real mystery as to why he’s so paranoid and spiteful. When he did play, however, his games were not the normal ones of children. They were always imaginary games with imaginary friends, tales of him ‘destroying’ his enemies (i.e. other children from his neighborhood) and people he did not like. He was always involved in these stories and didn’t just ‘watch’, but put himself in the story.
His parents are on the wealthy side (though, not as much as other families), and always made an attempt to get their son to be friendly and kind, showering him with gifts, praise, whatever he wanted…but nothing worked. Eventually, they gave up and decided to let him be (perhaps a very unwise decision), leaving the boy completely alone for hours at a time, unsure of WHAT to do with him.
He does trust and open up to a select few, but it’s a rarity. This has to do with his need for solitude and aloneness, and the fact he’s been that way for years doesn’t exactly make him the candidate for ‘friend of the year’.
Classes
Relationships
Alex is best friends with Lucas Longshore, Colin Mayfield, and Tobias Kinsella, forwhatever reason. They definitely have the oddest of relationships, but it works for them, and he's fiercely loyal and dedicated to them.
Zoey Montclair and Dariana Davison are two girls he fools around with quite a bit. He has an odd fondness for them (God only knows why).
Hannah Salix, the poor dear, is a 'project' for him. He enjoys the power and influence he seems to have over her and tends to take advantage of that.
Astrology
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21) the Scorpion. Fixed, water, yin - planetary rulers: Mars and Pluto. Keywords: "I DESIRE"
Scorpio is the eighth house of the Zodiac and governs the genitalia. Positive traits include magnetic charisma, ambition, drive, a penetrating mind, curiosity, intensity of focus, emotional depth, consistency, persistence, willpower, and the potential for inner transformation and regeneration; negative traits include selfishness, obsessiveness, vindictiveness, hypersensitivity, ruthlessness, cynicism, an inability to understand the word "moderation," and jealousy. It is said that Scorpios embody both the best and the worst of all that are born under the stars, and that there are three kinds of Scorpios: wicked scorpions, cunning serpents, and saintly eagles. What each Scorpio becomes is entirely up to that Scorpio.
Slytherin
What is said of Slytherins born under all other signs is doubly true of Slytherins born under Scorpio. (Or was it that what is said of Scorpios is doubly true of Scorpios sorted into Slytherin?) There is no middle ground here - these wizards can embody all that is the very best in the world... or all that is the very worst. They are heroes, or they are villains. They are attracted to the dark, twisted, and forbidden mysteries of the world from the day they are born, and only they can determine whether they will study the dark arts in order to oppose them, or to embrace them. However, as Scorpio is a sign of transformation and regeneration, it is not impossible for even the most evil of dark wizards to turn to the path of good... Scorpio Slytherins have uncanny wisdom, insight into human psychology, and high "emotional IQ's." They are incredibly ambitious, often exist in a state of total ego, and if misused or hurt, can nurse the wound and seethe for decades. Still, although they are often tempted to do horrible things in the name of glory or discovery, they nevertheless are often the kindest, most compassionate, and most forgiving people of all, for they have seen their own inner darkness, faced it, and do not run from it when they encounter it in others.
