Appearance: Alex is about average height for his age (5'8"), weighs about 135 lbs., has dark green eyes and deep red hair which his parents insist he keeps sideparted (and the other children frequently tease him for it). He wear perscription glasses, and often is seen wearing a blue flannel button down shirt (not because he wants to, but because it's what his parents buy him). He wears non-brandname sneakers. Alex appears, in all senses of the word, to look the part of a nerd.

Biography: An only child, at a young age Alex was diagnosed with Attention Defecit Disorder. Instead of providing him with medicine to counteract it's effects, his parents (cheap, middle-classmen Ken and Alison Steele) just assumed he would grow out of it. He was also found to be gifted at a very young age, and was immediately placed in the school's gifted program. After concerns that his marks were slipping in his regular courses, Alex was dismissed from the gifted program he had come to cherish so dearly for giving him the intellectually challenging work he sought after.

Forced back into regular classes, the other children did not care for Alex, and Alex did not care for them. He was a victim of bullying well into high school, and had few friends who did not share his "nerdy" lifestyle. Alex is socially inept mainly because he is extremely introverted and insecure. It doesn't help matters that his parents are very controlling of his life, constantly afraid of him falling in with the "wrong crowd". They buy him cheap and tacky clothing because they have a limited grasp on modern teenage style, and it is Alex who suffers. Deep down, Alex resents his parents for being so controlling, but could never open show hostility towards them, as it goes against his hatred for confrontation.

Years of being outcast and developing insecurities has made Alex both a people pleaser (to anyone who poses a threat to him), and a bit of an asshole (to cover his insecurity). He is frequently snarky to teachers and classmates that he feels lack intelligence, and it causes them to distance themselves from Alex. He is a definate loner, and spends his spare time reading fanfiction on the internet and playing videogames in his bedroom in the basement.

Alex constantly feels as if he's the victim of bad fortune, and is extremely pessimistic. His years of being socially inept as well as harshly bullied have also caused him to lack sympathy or empathy towards other people. When he was younger, Alex almost died when he was stung by a bee, something he has deadly allergies to. Since then, he never goes anywhere without an epipen in case he should be stung again.

Advantages: Can distance himself emotionally from others, higher than average intelligence, does not form needless bonds with others, is wary of other's intentions.
Disadvantages: Is likely to be cowed into doing something for someone, not very athletic or strong, his belief that he will fail often causes him to do so.

Designated Number: Male Student no. 24

Designated Weapon: Beretta 1934
Conclusions: How can a kid like B24 say he has bad luck? Why, I'd say he has the greatest luck in the world! His classmates have bullied and tormented him for years, and now's the perfect time to make them eat every harsh word they've ever said to him! I see this kid being quite the game motivator, especially with the weapon we gave him. Maybe his luck is finally starting to turn around!
