He is about average for his age, but has a very lean physical build; something that is fairly expected for one with experiance in acrobatics. His eyes and hair stand as a dead giveaway to his heritage, as the combination of red bags under the eyes and natural grey hair is a trait exclusive to the Breckenridge family. Anyone who has ever seen a military recruitment video or advertisement has seen a photo of someone in his family.

In peaceful, more casual situations he will be relatively quite, albeit strong in presence; not stoic altogether, but his un-required words tend to be rare and worth listening to. He will often be rather amicable, and has a significant "Guardian" quality to him, and is often found looking out for others or breaking up cafeteria fights. On the contrast however, when in tense or high-risk situations, he will become a particularly cold an efficient individual. His mind will become one of a tactician's, and while he will die in defense of those he finds himself responsible for, the polite and gentle side of him will vanish almost entirely. This contrast in personalities has cost him in more than one way, however ultimately he has found himself to be successful in his goal to protect those around him more often than not.

[h3][color=f26522]Biography[/color][/h3] To understand the History of Alexander Breckenridge, one must be familiar with the Breckenridge family tree. The first Breckenridge to become a notable public figure was Thomas Malcolm Breckenridge, one of the earliest discernible members of the Unoctocan Military. Now, it is said that the only true royal family are the Breckenridges, a house that has consistently produced significant members of the Unoctocan Empire since 845PW. While the house is not technically a "Royal Family," the power they hold by the house's involvement in Military, Politics, and Technology is rivaled by few, and has gained them the respected moniker mentioned above. The house has many branches, with relatives stretching across the entire expanse of Unoctocan's territory. Alexander himself was raised by one of the central houses in Mordbauvin, the northwestern part of the Unoctocan Empire. His home was far from any major cities, his parents being retired military had purchased a home far in the country to raise their only son. His Mother was an incredibly kind, charitable woman that had been a Nurse before retirement. Her Magical preference was Biological Restoration, or healing in layman's terms. His father had been a member of the Unoctocan High-Guard, a well respected and powerful military unit known to be used exclusively in dangerous combat zones. His magic was titled "Gravitational Distortion," and did what one might expect. The widely different methods of parenting his mother and father had reflect in Alexander's rounded development. His mother encouraged him to pursue the Arts, as well as his studies. On the other hand, his Father would often steal him away for hunting trips and combat training, forcing him to become used to firearms and combat situations. Because of this contrast, Alex was forced to play different parts around his parents; being a gentle and caring man around his mother, and a stoic and powerful one with his father. These roles developed into his personality, which is fairly evident if his actions are compared in different scenarios. Despite all this, Alexander has developed a clear preference towards the part he played around his mother, truly enjoying the romance of poetry and beauty of art. This irritated his Father, not out of distaste for Alexander's preferences, but out of fear that they would drive them apart. So, it was eventually decided that Alex would attend Mordhaben's, and learn what he hoped to do in his life on his own. Alexander is largely unsure of what he intends to do, as he has very conflicting aspirations. On one hand, he adores art in all it's forms and wishes to pursue it in one way or another; on the other hand, Alexander's compulsion to defend and protect others would leave him restless if he pursues a career in art. As such, he is widely grateful for the chance to determine what his future holds at Mordhaben's. [/center] [/hider]
