Alfie always seems as if he is sucking up to his superior. However that is initially what all convicts think of him, but if you are within the Overseer faction as is Corporal Lily, then it is much more understandable that Alfie sees Thrax as his father, not just his superior. Though this nickname is seen moreover as an insult, and is said by the convicts, not his own fellow Overseers, at least not to his face.

On any ad that was plastered with news of the Collective's upcoming New Earth project, Alfie was portrayed as the sharply dressed young lieutenant who held earth in his hands, while the faint shadow of Captain Thrax remained present behind him. To the rest of the Overseers, he likely makes them feel a sense of pride because of his own admiration for the faction. [/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Height [/u][/b][/color] [indent]5'2[/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Weight [/u][/b][/color] [indent]120 pounds[/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Appearance [/u][/b][/color] [indent]Even off of earth and on the Overseer base, Alfie always makes the extra effort to dress in his sharp crimson uniform, with the side cap neatly tucked over his slick black hair. He maintains a clean-shaven face and a pure pale complexion, as he was a night-crawler on TRAPPIST-1d. Though after training through a Collective military academy on the day-side of the planet, Alfie has grown to no longer be quite so sensitive to simple light-rays. He is quite skinny however, though makes up for through muscle. Yet that is not to say that Alfie is anywhere near the equivalent to a body-builder's stature, he certainly lacks much bulk. Alfie's most favored hobby is running, he use to run track in the academy. In fact he has the history of winning an abundant amount of medals from numerous different races. So if there is any particular part of the body that Alfie is the most toned in, it would definitely be his legs with the counted skill of speed. As for his facial features, Alfie has quite the handsome, pretty-boy face. Even his smile is precious, as it goes perfectly well with his rare grey eyes. But graced on his pale perfect skin, against the right side of his chest is inked the famous Overseer [url=http://images.clipartlogo.com/files/ss/original/933/93334702/tribal-eagle-tattoo-vector.jpg]hawk[/url]. It was his way of celebrating the title of Lieutenant Overseer. [/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Positive Traits:[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*] [color=778899]Presents Self Well[/color]- Alfie is very professional, but in a good way usually. He never dresses sloppy, never late to any meetings or gathers, and carries himself with a straight firm posture. In fact, he carries himself so well that he became the poster-boy of the New Earth penal colonies. [*][color=778899]Listener[/color]- All Alfie's life, he has always been an introvert. Therefore naturally, he is a quiet man who ponders deeper through the flow of words from the lips of others. Through his sense of listening, Alfie can still be thoughtful, though it seems some of his more negative traits contradict him from acting on any mercy or compassion. [*][color=778899]Hard Working[/color]- How else has this 21 year old gained the rank of Lieutenant Overseer? He works with energy, commitment, and dedication. It is something that has not aided him through his career path, but even in simply activities such as running track. Everything has to come to an end. It may be cheesy, but he is hopeful to imagine that is always a finish line. [/list][/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Negative Traits:[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*][color=778899]Somber[/color]- He has been wearing the same sad expression for quite sometime. There is something clearly pestering his mind, yet he has remained silent. Perhaps it only hinders his abilities to commit as an Overseer lieutenant. [*][color=778899]Cold[/color]- When first ranked Lieutenant Overseer, Alfie was proud and optimistic, yet now he seems rather distant and stiff. He still continues to carry out the Captain's wishes with pride, yet deep inside he has become harsher and much more cruel to the convicts. Perhaps it is because the Captain has impacted him to such great extent. [*][color=778899]Selfish[/color]- Alfie would render anything to the Overseer, but that is exactly what makes him selfish. Everyone else means nothing, there is no mercy unless Thrax allows mercy, there is no peace unless Thrax allows peace, there is no compassion unless Thrax allows it. Yes, Alfie truly loves and looks up to the man as the father figure he never had, but currently, he cannot allow anything or anyone ruin his standing with the man. The same is with the corporal under him, Lily, he will not let anything destroy the respect she has for him. Why? It is because they are guiltless, or so he thinks, unlike the scum of the colony. It is his philosophy that the Overseers deserve him to be selfish for their sake. [/list][/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Personality Description[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Alfie is someone who listens more than he talks, and even when does decide to say a word, he chooses that word extremely carefully. He carries immense meaning in everything he says, never does he waste any of his words. He is sincere, that is his most attractive quality. He prefers to speak to those who mentally process things with as much complexity as he does, if not he sense an empty superficial conversation, one that is best not to even be heard. Alfie knows that he is pessimistic, but imagining other people's perspectives, helps him stray from a negative outlook. Unless that person is also negative, then he or she just secures even further his pessimism. Too him, nothing should be wasted, not words, nor time, not even food should be wasted. Wasting can bring regret, and Alfie can bear regret that determines a dominating mood. Alfie regrets that he did not make the best of his moments of TRAPPIST-1, back when he could see his strict yet loving mother. Now it is all gone, she is gone, and he did not even have the chance to say good bye and to say sorry. Now he is cold and without mercy, condemning the convicts with his flagellum. He has his reasons, but because of complications, those reasons must be secrets. And though because of his deep thinking, Alfie is a mystery, he prefers to not keep secrets from people he cares about. Yet, if he were to confess those secrets for what they truly are, he may only gain separation. [/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Quirks[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*][color=778899]The Calculator[/color]- With any directive order, Alfie respond with a quick "Yes, sir!" or "Yes, ma'm!" But if you are willing to have a deeper discussion with him, Alfie is known to speak rather slowly as he delves deep into his thoughts, pausing most of the time when speaking. He searches for ways to word those ideas and those concerns. [*][color=778899]Star-gazer[/color]- It feels therapeutic for Alfie to stare into the night sky, identifying the constellations for what they are. He imagines his thoughts floating as the stars above him are. The beauty of the stars is one reason why he loves space, and enjoys traveling. Almost wishing that teleportation was not a popular form of transportation, just so he could float in space a little longer. [*][color=778899]Never wastes food[/color]- As a trained colonist, wasting food is not a luxury that those who are only surviving can have. Even if they are not in tight survival situations, Alfie cannot help but feel an amount of guilt when food is thrown away. He will go so far to ask to finish someone's leftovers. [/list][/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Specialties [/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*][color=778899]Survivalist[/color]- After attending Vagabond Colonist Academy, Alfie has learned the skills to keep himself and even the crew alive. He wishes that the Captain would rely solely on his academy experience, rather than listening to the Collective advice to conform to Churchill. But in ways, the Captain is right to do so, Alfie has never tested his abilities on earth, these people survive everyday on the abandoned planet. [*][color=778899]Runner[/color]- All the medals Alfie has won due to track, proves that he could very likely outrun anyone. [*][color=778899]Photographic memory[/color]- Alfie did not only excel at the top of his class through the hands-on test of survival, but also on the written exams or when they had to memorize key facts to colonization. Alfie has a sharp mind, he is quite an intelligent young man who appreciates the company of other intellects. [/list][/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*][color=778899]Frail[/color]- Alfie is not the most robust person, but instead relies more on agility and sharp-thinking during any split second. [*][color=778899]Pessimist[/color]- He always naturally been a pessimist, but his negative outlook on life has only grown stronger due to the outbreak of the aggressive decay that has likely taken his mother's life. [*][color=778899]Indoctrinated[/color]- Because his mother was misled by member of the anti-Collective terrorist group known as Terra-Rise, he has been raised to believe that anything or anyone that opposes the Collective opposes order and freedom itself. With this, Alfie can be easily manipulated into carrying out his superior's dirty deeds if it is portrayed to honor the Collective. [/list][/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Inventory[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*][url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/3c/e8/3c/3ce83cb5b5b5176a5d41f4677eff3219.jpg] Flagellum[/url]- Starting with Alfie's most used item against the prisoners, is his flagellum, which is actually quite medieval of him. But since he refuses to ever take the life of any in his colony, he does not hesitate to deliver punishment through these lashes. He is known to rip ribbons of fleshy tissues with his flagellum. Recently he has been going harder, leaving men and women with their backs split open and barely being able to walk. [*][url=http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bodyguard_stun_gun_gauntlet.jpg]Stun Gauntlet[/url]- A convict can count themselves spared mercy, when Alfie only simply releases a shocking sensation through his stun gauntlet. The battery-powered gauntlet aids him in one-handed combat, since he does lack the muscle power his opponent might excel in. [*][url=http://imgs.abduzeedo.com/files/articles/cool-futuristic-weapon-designs/glen-johnston-final-2.jpg?1429042102]ELO2587 Pistol[/url]- A Collective military pistol that Alfie rarely uses, only when it is his last resort. [/list][/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Fears [/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*][color=778899]Disowned by Thrax[/color]- The man is like a father to him, even if he was not an Overseer, Thrax has mentored him for five years. Alfie would completely break if Thrax hated and disowned him. [*][color=778899]Insanity[/color]- Alfie is definitely a deep thinker, but he is scared of the dark thoughts that stalk him. The reminders that causes him to doubt his own responsibility. His own self conviction that causes him to constantly realize that he not pure. He fears that these thoughts will sacrifice his own sanity. [*][color=778899]Mastigophobia[/color]- The fear of being beaten, more specifically flogged. Alfie is well aware of what damage he causes with that flagellum of his, and Alfie also knows why he does it so often, something that no else knows. But fears, especially since they are headed their way to Churchill, that he will be scourged by his own whip. Slowly being ripped apart, he trembles just the thought of how likely that will happen.[/list][/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Secret(s)[/u][/b][/color] [indent][color=778899]Dark Intentions[/color]- Before the outbreak of the aggressive decay, Alfie was purposely trying to make the colony hate him. And though he never killed any prisoner, he has not spared them any mercy from chastisement.[/indent] [color=778899][b][u]Goal(s)[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Alfie is against it, but if they are headed to Churchill, then all he can do is preserve the survival of his team. Perhaps there is some way that he can rise to top of their society. If only he had even one slight connection to turn the prisoners from the path of vengeance. [/indent] [color=778899][b][u]History[/u][/b][/color] [center][i]"From Son of Terra-Rise to Lieutenant Overseer to Melancholy Man"[/i][/center] [indent]Theo is a TRAPPIST-1 baby. Earth is foreign to him. It was not until he gained the position of Lieutenant Overseer that Alfie ever graced the surface of the planet. His mother was apart of the original Vagabond crew, and it is no doubt in his mind now that she was also one of the first to be infected with the brain-eating amoeba that cripples the entire TRAPPIST-1 system. The rest of the Overseers may notice that Alfie has not been lamenting well. The worst part of his grief is his attempt to pretend as if he is not in fact weeping, and he does this by draining himself of any emotion. TRAPPIST-1 was all he knew, it was home to him. Alfie never witness old earth, he never saw what earth once was. New earth is a dark place, yet it seems in his eyes the guardian of light is in fact Captain Thrax, holding the torch and lighting his path. Alfie's biological father, Calvin August, was apart of an anti-Collective terrorist organization known as Terra-Rise. They were not against space-colonization itself, but were in fact against a one-world government. These Terra-Rise terrorists believed that Collective colonization would result in the very thing they hated. Calvin acted as one of the original Vagabonds, because of this he did become romantic with Amelia Vanderbilt, thus she conceived Alfie. Calvin and Amelia were truly in love, so much so that Calvin indeed confessed to his affiliation with Terra-Rise, he admitted to deactivating tele-pads and sabotaging Collective carrier ships. Not only did he reveal his true identity, he begged her to join him, pleaded that he raise his son in a world free from Collective rule. Obviously Amelia turned him in, accusing the man of treason. Calvin was a terrorist in her eyes, he was a liberator in his. Seen as a traitor, Calvin was made an example and was executed by firing squad. This happened all before Alfie was born, but when Amelia did eventually give birth to her son, she desired that her son be raised in strict discipline at Vagabond Colonist Academy. Here he was trained in survival to one day colonize just as his mother did. It was at the academy that Calvin met Thrax as the man gave a lecture on how to defend a colony and how to enforce order in that colony. Thrax became his mentor five years before ever becoming Lieutenant Overseer. In fact Alfie partly thanked Thrax for the title, since he feels that Thrax had some say in getting Alfie there in the first place, especially with how young Alfie is. Since the news of the aggressive decay, Alfie has not been his self. He is highly against joining Churchill society, and fears even going there for help. Though, the last message the Overseers received from the Collective before they deactivated the tele-pad and cut contact with them, was advice highly recommending that they conform to the very penal colony that they once ruled over. It is a much better option than trying to blend in with the Outsiders, for they already know the faces of the Overseers through their own supply of scouts. But if Captain Thrax is taking Collective advice, then Alfie will obey his superior and fall in line. [/indent] [hr][hr]
