Alexander Bradley Nichols

Alec is Alexander's most common nickname, something that he started being called at the age of 5. In his opinion, his whole name is just too fancy, however, Alec makes him sound... well, normal. Brad is another nickname, coming from his middle name. Feel free to call him either.

Team Pink Leader

Standing at 5 feet, 11 inches and weighing in at a total of 160 pounds, Alec has chocolate brown hair that is cut short and slightly swept up in the front. His eyes are a warm caramel color, always seeming inviting. His skin is smooth to the touch and could be considered a light tan color from staying outdoors. His cheekbones are defined, giving his face a angular like shape.

T-shirts that seem to hug in all the right places can be found on Alec's slightly muscular torso as well as the occasional sweater or two. Jeans are his main bottoms, though maybe some cargo shorts here and there. Sneakers or vans for the finish.

Alec has a scar on the right side of his face going from his temple down to his jawbone. Approximately 6 inches long.

Alec is a kind person, always helping and looking out for others. He can't simply help it. If you have a problem, he's the one to come to. He is also very dependable, and when he say's he will get it done, he will. Perhaps not at the exact time that he or you would like, but if you ask him to make a cake, and the boy agrees to do so, expect the cake on your doorstep pretty soon. Along with being dependable, he hates broken promises. When he says the words "I promise" he will stick by that promise until the day he dies to make sure that it is fulfilled.

Despite his fellow Pinks, Alec is not one for gossip, though is a loud and rambunctious person. If there is a party or social activity to be found, he will find it and you can be sure to find him there.

A downside, when Alec tells you that he is confident, he's not lying. The boy has a major ego and cares -perhaps to much- what others think of him.

Nashville, Tennessee

Alexander's past is something that he will never talk about unless it is strictly required or you are very close to him. Born in a small right on the outskirts of Nashville, the boy had a drunk of a father and his mother died during giving birth to him. For this, he never has forgiven himself, considering that he thinks his mother's death is his own fault. Not wanting the child, his father gave Alexander up for adoption.

And then the so called adventure started. At the age of 3, he was placed with a loving family. Raised in the household until the age of 6, Alec found out that he was to be a big brother, his so called adoptive parents pregnant with a little girl. However, what the young, naive, child did not know was that the only reason the family had considered adopting him was they thought they were unable to be pregnant. It was 5 months before the end of his temporary mothers pregnancy that he was sent back to the foster home.

It was not until the age of 10 that he was officially adopted by a family in Nashville, and here he was nothing more than a meal ticket. Taking care of the younger children in the household by making sure that they ate as well as seeing to it that they were clothed, bathed and got their homework done, Alec did not care so much for his schooling. Being a D average student has really gotten him nowhere, though as long as the children were taken care of, he could care less about himself. Despite his home life and poor grades, he does and has had lots of friends at school.

Coming to camp at the age of 13 in order to get away from things, Alec pledged pink just 3 years ago at the age of 15 and became the leader of the team just last year.

His favorite thing about summer? The warm nights by the bonfire with the stars shining bright in the sky.

Due to living in Tennessee, he does have a country accent.

Beringer Keegan Baasch

He prefers to be called Keegan due to the fact that Beringer stands out and isn't the least bit normal. He also has a nickname K-Bear playing off his fairly large stature, middle name starting with a K, and the starting pronunciation of his first name. His sister used the name which quickly spread to his peers. Although he bitterly objects to its usage, he turns docile if his sister uses it around him. He generally only introduces himself by his middle name and acts as if his first name does not exist.

Reaching close to 6’6” and weighing in at 225 lbs, Beringer can only be considered imposing. He has the typical build of a kickboxer, broad shoulders, triangular abdomen, and toned legs. He is a mixture of German and Spanish backgrounds, and his features show signs of both ethnicities. He has hazel eyes but from the side, they hold a blue hue that seems much lighter, they tend to hold dead-set gaze in which even flinching has been worked out of his reflex. His hair is a lighter shade of brown during the summer to which it is often a mess reminiscent of overworked college student. In addition his lips seem to be permanently curved into an ever so slight frown.

Whenever he’s in a match or angered, he takes on a wolfish smile filled with confidence, as if the moment is what he lived for. Generally, he leaves the impression of being somewhat jaded and aloof.

Beringer has a painful lack of forethought or care to what he wears or how he appears. Generally he wears a plain solid color t-shirt with a hoodie and trackpants. He has one pair of soccer indoor shoes that are clearly worn down from use with only thin soles remaining.

Two small hypopigmentation lines across his cheekbones from constant splitting of the skin. He has the nordic symbol for trust tattooed to one shoulder blade and one for honor on the other.

Beringer has a set of people that he holds dear, and he protects that group from anyone outside of it. Due to his upbringing, or lack thereof, he often sees things as “us against the world.” Despite his twisted way of thinking, he holds a great deal of integrity, expecting it not only out of himself, but urging others to hold integrity as well. He has a strong aversion to dishonest behavior and will often look down on those who use underhanded tactics. His personality is extremely straightforward and he’ll tell things as they are. He is sometimes blunt and callous, but it also adds weight to his words.

The main reason Beringer is in Red is because of his ruthless attitude when those close to him are wronged. He does not anger easily, and is extremely tolerant unless it involves the group of people he protects so closely. He will go to the ends of the Earth to exact what he judges as an equal revenge. Although he tends to settle things physically back at home, his integrity doesn’t allow him to hit anyone of notably different strength or gender. His overall personality makes him extremely open to backstabbing and he is incapable of plotting.

California, slums of LA

Beringer knows very little about his father, the man had left when he had turned 4 and all Beringer ever heard were complaints about him from his mother. He had been born as a second child, his sister was 4 years older than him and his parents were still in their early 20s when they had him. In the following 4 years, his parents had another 2 kids but their relationship suddenly and quickly deteriorated when his mother cheated on his father with a childhood friend. His father was anything but forgiving and eventually, he up and left her with her 4 children and nothing to support them with.

His mother got 3 jobs, one of them being at a nightclub, and worked herself into the ground supporting the 4 kids who were generally oblivious to her suffering except for Beringer’s older sister. When Beringer had turned 12, his mother apologized to each child and left home during the winter, never to return back. His older sister quickly took the reigns of the household at 16 and worked desperately. Despite her tenacity and caring for her four siblings, the money Beringer’s sister brought in was not enough to pay for rent or food. By then, Beringer had been fighting for quite some time. Beringer had become the subject of bullying from his poor appearance and the lecherous reputation of his mother. Likewise, he would receive taunting about how his sister should go into the business. It started as school brawls, but Beringer showed an aptitude for fighting. He eventually went into underground fighting for money and began supporting the family where his sister could not. As he progressed, his aptitude increased, he entered more and more matches and also became more enveloped in the activities of the slums. He always blamed his mom for his lecherous side, but it was allowed to run rampant in the years following his first underground match. He only fought if there was money on the line, but he fought frequently, often coming home in worse and worse shape. Although he had no formal training, after experiencing plenty of wins and defeats, he learned quickly, most of his fighting style comes from others but it can only be described as purely brutal and ruthless.

Eventually a coach, Jake Sadek, found him through an exceptionally vicious street fight video and offered him a place in a MMA team. Beringer accepted but continued to do street fighting for money as a matter of habit. Realizing the root of the problem after a year, the Sadek adopted the family into his own family of himself and his wife. Much to Beringer’s ire, his coach and new father sent him to camp to effectively ban him from street-fighting without consulting him, but Beringer could not object due to the intention and what had been done for him and his siblings, thus he entrusted his siblings to his newfound family and obliged willingly. Fighting in and out of the ring is something that has become integral to Beringer’s life, but he’s been recently trying to avoid all sense of the word “fight”, from verbal to physical. This year would be his first year attending.
