Cut yourself? He'll grab a band-aid. Sprain an ankle? He'll offer to help you along, as someone to lean on or piggyback. But his mood can change easily depending on situations and the setting. Alexander has probably known more heartbreak than most people his age, and this makes him both sympathetic in some situations and quick to anger in others. Grey area's are hard for him and he tends to try and avoid them, either he's in or he's out. If he says something he'll do it, and it's not that he can't lie but he chooses not to. If he says no then he has his reasons. Mentally however he can be a little brittle, always feeling as though he's let both himself and those he cares about down with where his life ended up going. Whilst he doesn't feel a sense of pride in his work as an auto mechanic he doesn't dislike his job, he does do good on occasion. But it's not much compared to what his mother does as police chief or what kind of good example he'd hoped to set as a pro athlete. [b]Likes:[/b] ✔ Soccer. ✔ Music. ✔ Swimming. ✔ Sleeping. ✔ Snow/ Cold Weather. ✔ Cars. ✔ Cooking (Even if he's not very good at it). [b]Dislikes:[/b] ✘ Homophobia. ✘ Being told he can't do something. ✘ Spiders. ✘ Coffee. ✘ Heights. ✘ Being recognized as an ex-athlete. ✘ Snobs. [b]Hobbies:[/b] Occasionally he'll take part in local Soccer games. Morning and sometimes evening jogs tend to be relaxing for him. Sometimes when the work day is slow or he has nothing better to do he can be found with a nose in a book. [b]Strengths:[/b] ⚜ Resourceful. ⚜ Hopeful- Even in his darkest moments hope is something he holds onto. ⚜ Multilingual- born and raised with his twin sister both in Barcelona, and in Klamath Falls; Alexander speaks both Spanish and English. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] ☠ Tore the ACL in his right leg, that even after surgery never fully healed. ☠ Acrophobia; or the fear of Heights. ☠ Doesn't always think everything through. Leaps before he looks; Speaks before he thinks. ☠ Short fuse especially on touchy subjects. [b]History:[/b] Alexander lived in Barcelona with his family up until he was ten at which point he moved with his mother and sister to Klamath Falls. As children Alex was very much the opposite of his twin sister Sombra, while she was the outgoing tomboy he was the quiet and shy type. This would slowly change as he grew older, growing more bold and confident with age and encouragement from family and friends. Soccer would play a big part in this transition, or Football as they'd called it back in Barcelona. Alex had always loved the sport, and this led to plenty of practice and play. His mother Myra eventually enrolled him into the local little league soccer where he played for years until he was too old. Alex met his best friend James Burke in middle school, the other boys personality also playing a part in bringing Alex out of his shell. Then came High-School, where he was incredibly nervous to tryout for the team despite everyone encouraging him to. James was actually the one who'd signed him up, without his permission of course. This proved to be one of the best things he could have done, to his surprise and not the surprise of others. By the end of his freshman year Alexander was named one of the strongest central midfielders at high school level in the country. This ended with his being moved up to varsity level the next year. High school was an odd time for Alex. On one hand he was sort of a rising star among the athletes and jocks at school, and on the other he was starting really question his sexuality. Maybe it was out of fear of things changing, or fear of disapproval but he kept it to himself. Eventually Alexander came to terms with the fact that he was only interested in guys, but he didn't tell a soul. Alex kept telling himself that there'd a time to tell people, to come out. Fear of change allowed him to believe that, and he kept putting it off. After graduating Alex had received an athletic scholarship into the University of Washington, which had been one of his top choices. Not only for it's Soccer team but because it was close enough that he could visit home on occasion. That hadn't been all that happened after school was over however, one day Sombra and James all but disappeared. Nobody knew why exactly, and nobody had any contact with them after that. This had been a blow to Alex, losing both his best friend and sister in one fell swoop. To lose one would have been harsh, but to suddenly lose both left him feeling more alone than anything. They were pillars of support in his life. Alexander didn't let this hold up his plans for long, and when the fall hit and school started up he moved to Washington. But not before working up the courage to finally tell those still in his life that he was gay, maybe it was a cowards move doing it right before he left but he had reached a point where he was tired of waiting for the right time because there would never be a [i]right time[/i]. Another part of it may have been that two of the individual's he'd planned on telling first were now gone. And for the next year and a half Alex's sports career started to take off and Alexander Flores was one of the upcoming stars in the sport. Many spoke of his future in the sport as being a bright one. But maybe it just wasn't meant to be. Amid one of the games of the year Alex tore his ACL on the field. Surgery followed by physical therapy was meant to get him back to top form, and that worked for a majority of players with such an injury. But when Alex returned to the team many months later he could never really got back to his best, or even close. Slowly but surely his performance knocked him down on the positions until he sat on the bench as a substitute and inevitably quit the team. With his childhood dream to go pro ripped out from under him Alex gave into depression, and the man's grades started to suffer for it. With little choices Alex decided to drop out of college and move back home to Klamath Falls. Getting a job as an Auto Mechanic and living back at home with his mother Myra. This is where Alex has been for the last few years.
