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.

When used, this can cause a variety of effects; including cramping, numbing, and spasms of various limbs. Examples of this ability's use would include Alex "Switching" a trigger finger, leaving a gunman unable to fire their weapon or "Switching" a leg, causing an individual to stumble and fall. The effect lasts for an average of ten seconds, but the time can very depending on Alex's focus. [i]Stunning[/i] - Alexander is also able to induce significant cramps on others, and has an effect very similar to a Taser or stun-gun. He is able to force people into intense periods of physical tension, where one's body will tense in a manner similar to full body Charlie-Horses.

[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.

He is impressively muscular, especially when compared to the often lean forms of his peers, although it is clear his muscle-mass was formed for strength and labor, rather than show. Over-all, he looks like a rather plain trade-worker, with the exception of his eyes, which are a uniform milky-white, indicating his blindness. Due to his condition, he often carries a "probing-cane," a long, collapsable, white rod he uses to help avoid bumping into things. His dress is a bit different from the academics and military of the academy, often choosing to wear neutral-toned and rugged work clothing; His wardrobe consists of denim and steel-toed boots, with little variation. However, he isn't without a sense of humor, and can almost always be seen with a pair of protective welding-goggles either hanging from his neck or strapped to his forehead. [/hider] [b]Age[/b]: 17 [b]Species[/b]: Human [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Occupation[/b]: First Year Student [b]Personality[/b]: Louis tends to have an air of Stoicism, which is largely due to his blindness and comfort with silence. However, once he opens his mouth, any sense of sage wisdom seems to vanish. In reality he's a simple, albeit charming, young man. He enjoys a good bit of banter, some rough-housing, and a bit of flirting on the regular. However, he's an extremely blunt realist. He won't dance around someone's feelings, nor allow himself to be treated specially because of his disability. In fact, he tends to be a bit rude towards people that treat him as if he's "delicate," and can be a bit difficult to get along with at the start. Especially with people that treat him differently. Surprisingly though, he isn't in the least bit hypocritical with his logic; he demands to be criticized on his behavior or actions regardless of his disability, even in situations one would expect him to ask for a bit of patience.

[b]Biography[/b]: Louis was not born blind, but was made blind, by "witnessing" something few others can speak of escaping. Louis was born into a fairly small frontier town on the western edges of the Unoctocan Empire's borders, a town by the name of Chesroe. His family was made of farmers, and given the state of the land in that region, their options regarding fertile land were limited; it was because of this they lived a short distance from the town itself, on a small, impromptu farm that the family had built themselves. Life was simple for a time, as Louis was too young to do much of the heavier work around the farm he helped his mother and older sister around the house for the most part. He was taught how to clean, cook, and sew alongside the women of his family, and would be expected to do so until he was old enough to start doing some of the harder labour - when he turned seven or eight years old. He would help around the house, making sure that his Father and older brother would be able to rest and relax after their long hours in the fields and stables. During the fall and winter, his family would make frequent trips to the nearby frontier town to trade crops and meats for a variety of supplies needed to keep them warm throughout the colder seasons. It was during one of these trips that the event which lead to Louis's blindness occurred. It had been during the Winter of Louis's second year working the fields with his Father and Brother; when he was twelve years old. The family trips to the nearby town had been restricted in frequency lately, as a flu -or something similar- had began to spread around the town. People were getting sick all over the place, and it was concerning Louis's mother and father. As Louis had been a bit sickly as a younger child, (and because he was old enough to look after himself for the relatively short trip) his parents had opted to leave him at the Farm while they went into town, hoping to avoid the difficulties that came with a sick child in the winter. The last thing Louis remembers seeing was a bright light begin to descend from the sky towards the town, before everything around him became dark. After the Incident, Louis was taken in by a fellow family of Farmers that hadn't witnessed the event, but found Louis blindly wandering their fields for a short bit of time; but his inability to work for his food made it impossible for the family to afford caring for him, and he was taken in by the State. He moved from foster-house to foster-house for a while, seemingly unable to find a family that was willing to support a "broken" child. During this time he discovered his magical preference, and was taught by state tutors how to read braille. Eventually, primarily due to the lack of families willing or able to foster him indefinitely, he was "given" to Mordhaben's, where he could stay after "aging out" of the present foster system.
