[b]Short history/personality:[/b] 
Alexander didn’t really have much of a childhood. His parents birthed him, raised him to the point he could manage himself physically, then basically ignored him. He went through life not really knowing parental affection… until, at age 11, he found himself in the world of Sylvent. A world high above the clouds, where people lived on floating shards of earth and travelled the winds by way of large airships and airbourne fauna. Most important of these were the stormwings, great birds that boasted mastery of the skies. Each denizen of Sylvent bonded with a stormwing for life, relying on them for many things. And, surprisingly, Alexander found himself bonded to one as well despite being a traveler- specifically a blue stormwing, the sight of which had never been seen in living memory. He soon discovered that she flew faster, turned sharper, and landed more smoothly than almost any other, and he set himself to learning how to work with her and soar through the air. 

Eventually he found himself in the company of Captain Halden, leader of a band of sky pirates. Halden took a shine to Alexander, and soon the boy found himself falling in with the crew. Halden in particular soon became something of a father figure to Alexander, and he was relieved as he grew older to discover that while they called themselves pirates, they actually worked for the good of the people and mainly took on tasks toward their betterment. 

Years quite literally flew by, until one day Alexander found himself in a terrible scenario; to either watch as his stormwing was killed in front of him, or to throw himself to the clouds below. And he chose to take his chances on the desolate land beneath the sky. What he did not expect, however, was to arrive back on earth. Changed and aged, but now robbed of what had become his home. As he came to realize that his parents hadn’t even bothered to search for him, he tried to make things work for the best… until he learned of a peculiar school, one that served as a haven for those who’d found other worlds to call home and longed to return. He departed for it as fast as he could without actually flying- a fact he could hardly stand.
