|★|Alex Walker|★|
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX♊|☼|Deren Walker|☼|
full name; Alexander Keiran Walker
nickname(s); Alex
age; eighteen
sexuality; heteroflexible
hair color; blonde
eye color; green
distinguishing features; Alex has a tattoo on his upper
right arm of an ouroboros that he designed himself. He was
the first to suggest that he and Deren get tattoos to
identify themselves by, as he'd wanted to get a tattoo
since his childhood anyway. He also has paler streaks in the
front of his hair, which his brother does not, and Alex has
numerous long scars on his forehead and under his hair.
He also has a stutter and erratic aphasia; the same
accident that left him with his scars also caused a certain
amount of neurological damage. It doesn't manifest much
anymore except in his stutter and aphasia, and
occasional migraines.
Personality; Alex is a bit of a hopeless romantic, enamored
with the idea of love even though he has had little exposure to
love in the real world. He's a gentle soul, more outgoing than
his brother, and isusually the one to introduce himself first.
Despite his friendly attitude, he is much more insecure about
himself. He dislikes being stared at, which is an all-too-
common occurrence, and he tends to tense up if he thinks
someone istalking about him behind his back. He's sensitive,
for better and for worse, and quite eloquent. He enjoys writing
poetry and music, and he draws casually. His dream would
probably be to become a songwriter, or a musical or movie
actor.
+ traits; sensitive, thoughtful, artistic,
caring, enthusiastic, well-spoken
- traits; moody, obsessive, melodramatic,
easily hurt, dependent, insecure

poetry, reading, the outdoors, songwriting,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXfull name; Deren Scott Walker
nickname(s); Deren, Scooter
age; eighteen
sexuality; Deren is sapioromantic, romantically attracted
to intelligence rather than physical characteristics, and
demi-bisexual.
hair color; blonde
eye color; green
distinguishing features; Deren has a tattoo on his upper
left arm, which mirrors his brother's, but Deren's is of a
canine skull. He tends to wear his hair shorter and neater
than Alex does, and he has a faint scar on his upper abdomen
from post-bus-accident surgery. He is also left-handed;
he trained himself to be so from a young age.
Personality; Deren is a smart, thoughtful, careful
young man. He is the more logically-minded of the twins,
and a bit morbid at times. He is fascinated by the study of
anatomy, and his hope would be to become a nurse,
a pharmacist or a doctor. His hobbies include stormchasing,
which he rarely gets a chance to do but loves sincerely,
and puzzles of all kinds. Deren is less open about himself
and is downright antisocial at times. He does not share his
brother's love for love, but he worries about Alex frequently
and can be overprotective of him at times. Deren can be
selfish, but Alex relies on him quite heavily at times, and
despite his reclusive nature, Deren couldn't bear to think of
not being there for Alex. He can be a little hard to get along
with, but he makes a powerful and determined ally.

rational, determined, observant

They are conjoined just above their hipbones.
If you are standing facing them, you will see Alex on the left and Deren on the right, though it is the opposite from their perspective.
shared history;
Alex and Deren were born together on June 6th, making them both, twistedly, Geminis. There was always a certain layer of animosity displayed towards them by their nuclear family. Their mother never quite knew what to do with them, and their father left to serve in the military when they were quite young. They grew up together in a quiet attic room, with books, a TV, and plenty of old junk. Their mother feared sending them to public school, so she recruited the aid of her older sister, Agatha, a retired schoolteacher and violinist. Their aunt Agatha gave them their education and became a prominent figure in their lives, teaching them what they needed and helping them mature without the influence of the outside world. They very rarely went out in public, their only company typically being each other and visits from their aunt.
Their aunt cultivated in them both a love of literature and music. Reading was their favorite activity; it was their way of escaping the confines of their world and getting away from each other. When they wanted to get away or fought with each other, reading was their method of holing themselves up. Alex's love of literature was what inspired him to start writing poetry, and for Deren it was a away to sate his hunger for new knowledge. Deren became fascinated with the technical ins-and-outs of their condition, which was what led him on path of medical and anatomical fascination. They both grew to like the outdoors, Deren watching the weather and clouds, and Alex loving flowers and plants. Their confinement was likely a major cause for this fascination with the elusive outside world.
When they were both 16, they got into a car accident. Alex, sitting on the outside, was hit with the brunt of the force and ended up with a fairly severe head injury. Deren was cut by several shards of glass, and he broke several of his ribs when he hit the floor with the force of all their combined 270 pounds of weight. Both the twins survived, but Alex needed several moths to fully recover. He had a concussion and needed cranial surgery, and still occasionally has stutters and spasms.
