[b]Name:[/b] Alex Butler [b]Appearance: [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/a0/57/9a/a0579ab6f8ad50a0f1dddef670e77f5f.jpg[/img] Age:[/b] 19 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Magic:[/b] Latent Potential In Yang Magic, Spiritual Arts (Namely Contracts) [b]Divine Protection:[/b]N/A [b]Personality:[/b] Despite what one may think of him at first glance, Alex is actually a rather friendly, easygoing individual. He seems to have a way of brightening up people's day by just interacting with them or being helpful. That said, he doesn't go looking to be the center of attention and typically keeps to himself, thus he can be found reading a good book or preparing something in the kitchen most days. All that said, once in a while, if a person looks close enough, they can see signs of someone trying to live up to unrealistic expectations that they put on themselves. Although he is willing to obey figures of authority, he is not above questioning or pointing out the flaws in their actions. He also values people's lives highly and hates it when they are treated as expendable or they are not shown the proper respect, especially in regards to knowing the truth about the world around them. [b]Background:[/b] Alex's life, like many people, has been a mix of ups and downs. He never knew his father as that man had divorced his Mom some time after his birth and thus, she had to take on the role of being a single parent. As such, he ended up having to mature a bit faster than other kids his age. As one can expect, this meant he rarely saw her due to having to work late to support them. Despite what you may expect, although this did depress him he held no resentment towards her, though he was always curious why his father had abandoned him. ...The most he ever got from his mother was she and him just didn't see eye to eye on many things. Alex always loved things to do with fantastical creatures and other worlds, and as such, he spent a great deal of his time playing video games, looking up myths and legends, and reading stories to kids in his neighborhood. Of course, that didn't mean he neglected his studies, and was actually quite good at them. He also worked various odd jobs to help his Mom too. Eventually, upon graduating from high school, he took some time off and, using the money he had saved up, decided to go exploring the world, perhaps even find what had happened to his father. Although his mother didn't agree with his plans, she gave him her blessing anyways. ...Of course, during his trip, he had decided to catch a few Z's while he waited for the next bus...only to wake up on a bench...in the middle of a town...that was clearly not one he had seen on any map before... Needless to say, it was clear he was not in Kansas anymore...
