spartanamethystname: Alex Mayne
gender: Male
gender for breeding purposes: Male
what is their relationship with the other viscet?: Close friends and pseudo-brothers, in a nutshell. Their relationship is almost symbiotic, with Alex supporting Clarito emotionally, constantly encouraging him to go out, make friends, and be happy, in addition to pulling him out of ruts. Clarito, in return, keeps Alex from making excessively stupid decisions.
Personality: Optimistic | Proactive | Kind | Protective | Reckless | Casual
Alex's optimism is his defining feature. Thrown into even the worst of situations, his spirit and worldview torn apart, he'll bounce back, finding the silver lining despite everything. That doesn't mean he'll be happy about it - he's just as prone to anger and sorrow as anyone else - but he'll push past everything else to find the solution he knows must exist.
Apart from that, he's also an inherently altruistic person. He wants people to be happy, and he has the proactive and sensitive nature to back this desire up. Kind and patient (with people, at least), he often serves as a source of support and hope to those who need it.
Alex doesn't generally respect authority. Not in the sense that he's actively opposed to it; just that he won't think any more highly of those in charge, or necessarily defer to them. In his eyes, they're just people, prone to all the faults and flaws that others are. This stems from his tendency to humanise everyone more than a particular intelligence or wisdom; call him naive and you'd probably be right.
Quirks/Trivia:
- collects playing cards, and is very dedicated to his collection; most of his decks are unopened with some even signed. He usually buys extras of cheaper decks - anything less than $10 - to play with. It also gives him something easy to ask for during birthdays;
- despite this, doesn't really care for most games played with cards. Mostly plays things like Bridge and Rummy; non-gambling games where the fun is mostly in talking to your partners as you play.
- was raised by somewhat superstitious parents; doesn't necessarily believe in it, but will do minor things like avoiding walking under ladders, tossing salt over his shoulder, etc out of habit and a "well, couldn't hurt" mentality.
-was sheltered
-was raised upper-middle class and doted on as an only child
-sociable nature, willingness to help, and the fact that he had money to burn led to him being relatively well-liked in school
-seldom if ever saw the 'ugly' side of people, which led to him being exceedingly idealistic, believing completely in the goodness of mankind
-was disappointed - probably after entering the work world?
-strives to improve whatever he can
i swear i'll make this pretty someday
