The Character Talents
::STRENGTHS::
1. Street Wise
2. Photographic Memory
3. Intelligence
::POWERS::
1. Super Healing
2. Transformation
::SUMMARY::
He started his life on the hard streets of East London, meaning that he learned to become aware of what is going on around him when on the street or road. He takes in other things that most don�t or do but pay little attention to. For as long as he can remember he has been able to recall small titbits of trivia, he doesn�t need to read something more than once or hear something more than one. It doesn�t mean that he won�t ask someone to repeat themselves usually as a way to work out whether or not they are lying to him. His not just a cute face either behind the athletic appearance and mischivous eyes Alex is quite intelligent, he sometimes will play dumb to assess the trust worthiness of a potential new ally.
::WEAKNESES::
1. Doesn't like people trying to take advantage of him
2. Dairy Products
3. Low Attention Span
::SUMMARY::
He has worked hard to be successful in everything he has done in his long life, he wants to help people who need the help. However he hates when people who expect to get that help, yet not do any work to be rewarded with the help they need. He will help pretty much any one, but he doesn't like being taken for a ride by people who want to take advantage of him and or the money he has available to help them. Alex is lactose intolerant, eating dairy products of any kind tend to make him quite ill, this doesn't always stop him from eating such products. Usually he does this if he can't get out of a business event or a party or some such event. He doesn't have much of an attention span, so he tends to get bored very quickly, even his friends have trouble keeping him interested in what ever it is they want him to look at or do. Though when it comes to things like combat he acts with almost single minded stubborness.
The More Human Side of Things
Human Appearance
::HAIR::[/size]
::EYES:: Blue
::HEIGHT:: 6ft 7"
::WEIGHT:: 275 lbs
:MARKS::
Has a tribal tattoo that starts on his left shoulder chest and back, and heads down his left arm, it is just visible on his neck likewise out of the sleeves of shirts or jumpers when he is wearing them.
::SKIN TONE:: Tanned
::BODY TYPE::
Muscular
::CLOTHES::
Most people don't see him out of a suit, due to his work... when he takes time out he is quite happy to be seen in a pair of jogging bottoms and muscle top. When partying he likes jeans and shirts. He has at least a set of clothes for any event that he might be attending or that might happen in his life.
::SUMMARY::
Alex is best described as a friendly giant, he stands at over 6 and a half feet tall and weighs in at about 275lbs. He has short brown hair, his eyes are a light shade of blue. Despite his size he never appears to be ill suited for any sort of clothing, though seeing him in a pair of shorts is something most people like to have a giggle at. He is a very good looking lad, which usually does the trick with the ladies. Dress sense wise, he is up with the latest fashions, though it is some times very hard for him to find clothes that fit him in fashion labels. So when it isn't a suit he is wearing which are usually custom made for him, his jeans are usually not labels. The same can be said of everything he wears, its really down to what ever he is comfortable wearing. Even in a suit he tends to stand out because of the tattoo he has which draws attention to him more often than not.

3. Is quite a shy person
::BLESSINGS::
1. Kind
2. Loyal
3. Generous
::SUMMARY::
The best way to describe Alex is a complicated guy who likes simple pleasures in life. Whether its watching a game on the TV or playing it in the park somewhere he doesn't care. The same can be said of just about anything he likes, his fascination with crime thrillers go much deeper than just buying books from bookstores. Over the decades he has collected some of the rarest first editions on the market, he still goes out of his way to buy rare books to add to the collection he already has. His taste in food probably leaves a lot to be desired, on a business trip to Thailand he got a taste for the hot and spicy food on offer, he usually prefers to eat spicy and not much else.
Their are more than enough camp guys in the world and though he is secure in his own sexuality, the one thing that he can't stand beyond all else is camp guys... isn't it enough for them to have to fight hard just to get rights, do they really need to make the job harder for themselves. He can't stand people who cheat in life or think that its easier to take all the shortcuts in the world... people have to work hard in this world to get where they want to be.
He was born in a time when women were second class citizens, though his views have changed some what in the last two hundred years. He still has what most people would consider old fashioned views with regard to women, he is stubborn and will sometimes view the opinion of men as better than that of women. He still manages to treat women with respect mind you, he just doesn't necessarily take into account what they have to say all the time.
Alex is a generous man, he will help all sorts of people and charities, he can't turn a blind eye to people in need. He does have an expectation that people should be willing to help themselves, he doesn't give out freebies to people or charities for that matter. He has a big heart to go along with the big wallet and bank account, it doesn't really matter if the person he is helping is a murderer just out of jail or a homeless man trying to find a way out of the hell hole he was in.

::HISTORY::
Alex was born in Whitechapel England, the eldest surviving child of a poverty stricken family. From about the age of about seven, he was out on the streets of London stealing food for the family or begging on the streets. He was quite successful at both, he was never caught and he certainly was never punished. He and his twin brother Ben usually worked together as a team, watching each others backs. As they got older and their heritage began to shine through, the family found some luck, they were able to move out of the city into the country, a small cottage on the coat of Cornwall. It was hear that the twins started to learn about their family and the heritage that ran through their veins. Their father explaining that his father had been the illigitimate son of a lord and a whore, to protect the son from wrong doers who would have liked nothing more than to kill his grandfather. The mother was sent into hiding.
At the age of fifteen his grandfather was bitten by his future wife, thus how the genes started to be passed down to the children. Alex never knew his grand parents, but he heard the stories of their lives and was told how it was that the gene came into the family in the first place. Alex's first transformation was both painful and traumatic, for nearly a year afterwards he was petrified of changing into a werewolf, it took his twin and sister being there when he changed to keep him calm and sane by the end of the night.
When Alex and Ben turned twenty one the two left the family home and country, they headed for America, going into business together on the frontier. The ranch started of small, they built it up by breeding horses and moving cattle. Not having any money, they had to work their way across the ocean on a boat. While some of the sailors died on the trip across, mainly because of their heritage and just sheer luck the two of them survived. They were meant to do the return trip as well, but the two of them took what little money they had already made and ran for it. They have never heard of anything about it in the years that followed.
During a fight in the late 19th century, Alex and Ben were seperated, the pack they were a part of was almost entirely wiped out both believed that the other was lost in the battle. The agreement to not go back to the ranch should anything go wrong as it wouldn't be safe, meant that even to this day the boys believe that the other is dead. In the hundred plus years since the incident the two have never met, though they have sometimes been in the same building. The event spurred Alex to success while Ben is still working a nine to five job now in an office rather than a ranch.
Their is a public view of Alex's business as coldly effective, the man behind the company has always been fiercely protective of his privacy. Where some CEO's will hog the spot light, Alex as always prefered to work behind the scenes to get the job done. He doesn't flaunt the riches he has for all to see, he drives a reasonably priced upper class car. His house is large but not gratuitously large, his friends with every walk of life in his own opinion.
Where most wolves prefer the company of others, Alex as been through enough in his life to come to believe. That it would easier for all involved if he didn't rejoin a pack, he misses the connection you have when your part of a pack but he has seen so many of his friends and pack members die in combat that he is almost scared to allow a pack close enough to him to become a part of one again. His brother is never very far from his thoughts, the not knowing what became of his brothers body haunts him. He has tried to find answers, he has tried to hunt down the people who survived the fight. Some of his hunts have led to bloodshed and death, his not afraid to get his hands dirty his not afraid to kill for the right cause. That said he doesn't particularly like to have to do those things.

::RP Example::The music had begun about ten minutes ago, Jade was pleased by the turn out, the auction would begin in an hour or so, their cousins were mingling last time he saw them. He was dressed in a black suit, black shirt and tied, Jade's main surprise was that his parents and sister had returned. He had actually wanted to punch his fathers lights out, he was particularly sick of having these tests thrown at him to see how he would cope. Any body who knew him well could tell that he was internally seething at the turn of events.
It was days like this that he wished he would have the sense to move out of the house and get a place of his own across town, that way he wouldn't get played the way he had been. But he was well aware that this would happen even if he didn't live in the house itself.
"Jade, where is this handsome young man you have been dating." his grandmother asked as she came over to him, another surprise for him and Alex... most of their family with the exclusion of Mac and Bailey's parents were here.
"His floating around here somewhere grandma." Jade said to her she smiled as she hugged him.
"Your mother and father wanted to surprise you, this is a very good coming out party for you Jade." she said to him he looked at her. "You would have had to learn to do this the hard way eventually. Look around you, all of your friends and piers are here. I saw the future Lord Franklin here with his wife." she said to him. "That alone will bring your party to a new level." she added.
"Your grandmother and I have guaranteed that what ever you bring home tonight in auction sales we will double." his grandfather said as he came over.
"I'm sure the school will be very pleased with that grandpapa." Jade said to him the man smiled at him for this. "I need a holiday." Jade groaned as he rolled his neck they laughed.
"Well we can't do much about that, school is still in session... when summer comes you should bring this Jeremy with you to Ireland, so he can meet all of the family properly. It is time that you take a more active role in the family and its businesses, you are the eldest child of the eldest son." his grandfather said to him. "You will not be able to hide behind your schooling forever." he added. "Is this relationship with Jeremy deep?" the man asked his grandson.
"If by that your asking whether I love him, then yes grandpa." Jade said to him.
"He is not like this Mike your father told me about?" his grandmother asked.
"Is my love life really that much of a talking point in the family?" Jade asked her she smiled.
"Your dating guys in a catholic family, I would say that its a major talking point." his grandfather said to him.
"My private life is just that, any one in the family that have an issue with that can kiss my..." Jade started his grandmother slapped the back of his head. "Okay fine but its not going to change grandpa, I want to marry Jeremy." Jade said to him. "Not right now of course but some time in the near future." Jade said to him.
"And after school?" his grandfather asked.
"I haven't got that far yet." Jade said to him.
"You must have some idea of what you want to study in college." his grandmother asked.
"Grandma thats a year away yet." Jade said to her she made a face. "Not all of us know what we want to do in our lives at my age." Jade said to him.
"Are Jeremy's family here?" his grandfather asked.
"Yes his mom and dad arrived a little while ago, his sister should be here somewhere to.... not sure you want to speak to her though grandpa, she is not my biggest fan." Jade said to him the man looked at him.
"What did you do to annoy your boyfriends sister?" he asked.
"I kissed Mike, we weren't technically deeply involved at that stage." Jade said to him. "Father gave me an ultimatum." Jade said to him.
"Stay away from the bad boy huh." his grandmother asked Jade nodded the woman chuckled. "No regrets?" she asked.
"None at all, when you meet Jeremy your understand why." Jade said to her.
"What do his parents do?" his grandfather asked.
"His mom is an artist I think... his dad works in television." Jade said to him the man made a face. "If you make trouble for me with them, grandfather or not I'll rip you to shreds." Jade said to him knowing that the man could be a snob when it came to people who did something so common and pathetic in the mans eyes.
"I see you have your mothers temper." the man said Jade glared at him. "I shall not create trouble for you with these people, but I do hope that boyfriend has at least manors." the man added Jade growled at him.
"See this is why I do not come home more." Jade growled at his grandmother. "I am so tired of being held to an impossible standard by my family." Jade snapped at her.
"You are the heir to the Edwards legacy, the standard is higher for you than the others." his grandfather said to him angrily.
"Then maybe you should find someone else who meets you standards." Jade snapped at the man.
"Jade it isn't like that." his mother said making her presence known.
"Seriously after the week you've just put me through, you have the gall to stand here and tell me that I dont get stuck on a pedastal by you people. You left me to deal with this mess on my own as a test to see whether I could handle it." Jade snarled at her. "I'm sick of being tested, either you trust me or you don't but tomorrow I start looking for a place of my own in town." Jade said to them.
"Jade be sensible you don't even know how to cook." his father said.
"I've been able to cook since I was fourteen, since you guys decided to leave us on our own for extended periods of time with out the kitchen staff." Jade said to him. "Nothing I do is good enough for you people... my choices are barely tolerated by my own family, hell Mac's family wanted to disown him because of what he is... your all a bunch of hypocrits." Jade snarled at the man. "I want out of this house and away from you people... injured shoulder or not I will be out of here before the end of the week." Jade snapped walking away from them out onto the patio and away from the party.
He soon found himself at the boundary of the grounds, the view would have been incredible if he hadn't have been in such a foul mood.
"Jade." his father said to him eventually tapping him on his shoulder Jade turned. "Maybe I have been putting you under to much pressure." he said.
"I was shot less than a month ago, do you even care about my well being." Jade asked him.
"Of course I do... how can you ask me that?" the man snarled.
"I've been running on empty for weeks... I take painkillers to rid myself of the pain I am almost constantly in... you couldn't even tell that I am exhausted from running in the circles you have me going in just to prove myself worthy." Jade snarled at him.
"I had no idea." the man said.
"You just didn't care." Jade said to him.
"That's not true." the man said.
"Your barely home most of the year round, how the hell would you know what either of us are up to." Jade said to him. "This has been coming for a long time, if you couldn't see that your not my father." Jade said to him.
"Jade." he started.
"Nothing you can say will change my mind." Jade said to him. "If you want to help me, you can help me find a place and help me move in." Jade said to him.
"Is this how Alex feels to?" his father asked.
"You've never put him under the kind of pressue that you have me." Jade said to him. "Whenever something needs to be done, I'm always asked, Alex is never asked to step up to the plate." Jade said to him. "He has a custy life why the hell would he want that to change." Jade asked the man.
His father stood watching him for a while, unable to take in the fact that his oldest child had been pushed to this point.
"This is what you want." his father said.
"You've been pushing me to this for a long time, I'm ready to take the next step in my life." Jade said to him. "Either you trust me to be more involved and for that matter more independant or you don't. Either way I moved out of the family home a long time ago, I've been running this house for the last year and a half single handedly." Jade said to him.
"I'm not sure I'm ready to have my baby boy move out." the man said.
"You've always tried to compensate for my disabilities... I don't need that any more." Jade said to him the man chuckled. "I never really did... but if you want to give me something, give me and Jeremy your blessing... I love him thats not going to change. He isn't Mike." Jade said to him.
"Your right you never needed to be mothered where your disability was concerned... if Jeremy makes you happy then none of us will stand in your way... if he is who you want to be with I can deal with not having grandchildren from you." the man said to him Jade laughed.
"Just because I want to commit to a guy... doesn't mean I won't give you grandchildren dad." Jade said to him the man smiled at him. "It just means that its more difficult for me to give you them, I want children always have." Jade said to him.
"Your grandfather is stuck in his ways, your mother and grandmother are gutting him as we speak... I wouldn't expect an apology if I were you but he won't cause you any more problems tonight." the man said to him Jade nodded. "I'll have your access to the family accounts increased, I'll speak to your accounts manager. I don't think you should be moving out however." the man said to him.
"I have to do this for me... I can still help run things but this is the right thing for me to do." Jade said to him. "I need space." Jade said to him.
"You can get that at home." the man said.
"Maybe I can, but that doesn't change the fact that I've had enough of doing this completely your way." Jade said to him the man chuckled.
"Apartment, penthouse or house?" his father asked.
"Do I look like I have enough of me for a huge house?" Jade asked.
"No you don't good point." his father said. "Large apartment it is, close to school it will have to be, and your mother will expect it to be close to the house." the man said Jade nodded. "I'm sorry that you have been put under so much pressure by us Jade, that was never our intention." the man said. "The way you act and hold yourself in the office and in public as well as the parties we throw, its not the actions of a seventeen year old boy." his father said.
"Its been a long time since I was kid dad." Jade said to him the man chuckled. "I need my own space, I have some great ideas for the business, but to develope them I can't be picking up on your little projects every two minutes." Jade said to him. "You want to do something useful for Alex and me stop going away so much." Jade said to him. "Do you even know he has a girlfriend or that they are kind of serious?" Jade asked.
"Of course I do." the man said.
"You don't show any interest in what we do, you never have... you celebrate when we achieve something, but I can't remember the last time you were at a meet of the swim team or the wrestling team for us. It feels like sometimes you forget you have twin sons and not just your baby girl." Jade said to him.
"More time at home we can do that." the man said.
"You don't need to accept every invite to go abroad and visit our offices, and when you do theirs no need to spend a month at these places." Jade said to him. "And for god sake send SJ to silver, my sister is bored as hell being dragged to one boring city after another and being confined to hotel rooms or the pool while you guys deal with business." Jade said to him before heading back to the house.
"I promise to try to be here more." his father said but Jade seriously doubted he would actually pull threw on this... to often had he heard those words from his father.
He soon found himself with a plate of food looking for either a family member or a friend or friends to mingle with... Jeremy wouldn't have gone a miss either... but he would take who ever he could.
