He enjoys working with his hands, building designs and contraptions that generally would confuse most, and terrify the rest due to the seeming lack of safety. After receiving his gift from his uncle, his designs have started deviating towards firearms, finding creative uses and methods for some of the tools left in the autoshop. Although extremely well-versed in metalworking, he is also surprisingly capable at math and sciences, most likely due to relation with working on vehicles. However, most of the other subjects he is only average in. Despite how he seems, he is actually a very realistic person, who is capable of throwing away morals. [b]Biography:[/b] Alex came to Japan not as a transfer student, but due to circumstances. His parents had sent him to his uncle's, who at the time owned and worked at a small autoshop. However, not to long afterwards, his uncle traveled away, without explaining where he was going, leaving behind a good stash of cash to live on. However, as he continued to attend school, he found himself starting to use the tools in the shop for uses other than vehicles. At first just building a few bladed tools here and there, it was his uncle's idea of a birthday gift that steered him towards firearms. His uncle had contacted him on his seventeenth birthday, and told him to go to the basement, find the locked case, and enter in four certain numbers. Opening it, there were two rifles and a ballistic knife: the VSS Vintorez, and the Dragunov SVD. After a heated argument with his uncle, Alex hung up the phone, before glancing at the rifle. The SVD was out of the question, but the VSS wasn't. Firing the rifle for the first time(actually, firing a firearm for the first time), he found it somewhat...exciting. This was where his average grades started to degrade, as he darted skipping, trying to test himself in building a firearm of his own. Turning the basement into a firing range, he bought a few rounds from more shadier people. Most, if not all the firearms were destroyed after several shots, but finally, he managed to build two successfully. Now, with that challenge out of the way, he generally lies on the roof of the school, content with not bothering with classes.

You disappeared for so long, I thought you were dead!" "I thought so too!" "What, what did you mean by that? Are you doing something stupid again...?" "Now, I know it's your birthday today, so I'm giving you your present!" "Don't change the subject!" *after opening the case* "...why are there two rifles in here? How did you manage to smuggle these in? No, wait, why do you even own these?! And when did you slip them here?!" "Happy eighteenth birthday Sasha!" "I'm seventeen! Also, stop changing the subject!" "It looks like my free time is up. I shall see you again sometime! Also, Ana and Rin told me to say hi!" "Wait! Wait a damn minute, their with you? What the hell are you doing? Some kind of secret ops? Hey! Answer!...Damn it, he hung up.." [/hider]
