Introduction
Alex was born in San Diego, the fourth son of older parents. Nerdy and a bit funny-looking, he had something of a lonely childhood, spent mostly indoors reading books and playing around with puzzles. High school was particularly annoying, as it tends to be, and he fled as soon as he could to the first place out of state he could get a full scholarship. Thus, somehow he ended up in Iowa.
His childhood interests in incredibly detailed fiddly little mind games and desire for a decently-paying job led him to pursue his current focus of cryptography- strictly, he's a math/Computer Science double-major, a sophomore concentrating on theory. Unfortunately, this has led him heart deep into the depths of nerdry, and he feels a bit trapped by this. He likes being constantly social, and prefers to be around more... err... culture than that, though he'd never hold anything against someone for not being so. Normally, he pays no attention to computer games, but it seems to be the sort of thing everyone he knows is doing, and maybe he'll meet someone nice?
I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't be mine
I'm losing control now I'll just have to slow down a thought or two
I can't feel the future and I'm not even sure that there is a past
I believe in the shape of things to come
And I believe I'm not the only one
Yes I believe in
I believe in

Descriptions and Elaborations
I'm seeing things clearly but it has quite nearly blown my mind
It's the aim of existence to offer resistance to the flow of time
Everything is and that is why "it is" will be the line
I believe in perpetual motion
And I believe in perfect devotion
I believe in, I believe in
Age: 20.
Basic Description: Alex is about 5'8", with light green eyes, very pale skin, and naturally white, curly hair that he wears in dreadlocks for lack of knowing what else to do with it. He's got small features, a very Roman nose, and annoyingly obvious hips. (Neither character nor player are entirely sure of his ethnicity, if it matters.) Despite the mix-and-match, he's somewhat attractive and knows how to carry himself well. Usually wears conservative clothing, long-sleeved pale-colored shirts and slacks, likes sandals.
