Personality: (At least two paragraphs.) Alexei like most young teen aged folk, is very brave and ready to face the world! He wants to prove himself to the world! He is very rebellious at times (like most young people his age) and sometimes does rebel aganist his older siblings and sometimes his "adpotive dad" by acting his age and doing stuff that isn't suppose to do. He also tends to be very emotional and passionate about things and he will act on those feelings or use them expressively in his work. Alexei is what you would call a "Romantic", no not lovey-dovey romantic but romantic as in the style of literature and art from the 19th century. Romanticism is mainly more about nature, childhood, friendship, and lost, as opposed to a love story. Even though Alexei tends to be very social but he doesn't have many friends due to his older brother's cruelty to others, which does scare people away and because of this many people due tend to think that Alexei would grow up to be just like his brother but Alexei's different from him! His personalty; though dark, moody, and serious, Alexei is also friendly, kind, generous, and careing! He would rather help someone that was hurt instead of being the one hurting them. But he does fear that he would one day turn into a tyrant bully just like his older sibling, fearing that it's in his genes, so Alex tries to do the best that he can to become a better person through acts of kindness and helping those that his brother has hurt. Because of this it almost strinned his relationship with his sibling! Alexei also believes in the freedom of self-expression, whether it be writing or painting or whatever! He has tried hard in his early years as a teenager to express himself through his writing but big brother would always disaprove of it! So, Alexei keeps a sercet journal filled with all sorts of poems and short stories which express his feelings. And he can be at times addictted to technology like cellphones and the computer. Don't call him "Emo", cause he doesn't like that term saying that it's insulting. He prefers the label of "Romantic" instead.
Nature is truely his happy place! Eversince Alexei was little he as always enjoyed the many sercets and wonders in which the wilderness held. From playing in the calm brooks to climbing trees... It was truely his playground and still is! He might have matured to a poliet but reckless young adult but Alexei still has his love for nature! Out of the many enivernments that the Earth holds his favorite place is among the mountains. He feels "in one" or "in touch" with the universe when ever he visits those tall peaks and this feeling is often reflected within his poetry.
Alexei, like many Russians of Circassian-Turk blood he follows a bunch of old school customs, incuding an unwritten moral code known as Xabaze. In Xabaze hospitality is very important, so whenever a guest were to come to his and his brother's house even if the person was the enemy he would treat that person like a king and slave to him/her during their visit while his brother scares the visitor away. Also the Xabaze teaches the young men that being honorable, brave, and generous is highly respected and that greedness is shameful. Women had major say and could end family disputes just by telling the men to knock it off. There is also an important elder called the T'hamade who is in charge of huge family events like weddings.
Alexei had always been intersed in foregin languages. Alexei could speak a few languages, including his native tongue of Circasian, Russian, Farsi (Persian), and English. He would even try to learn other people's languages so he could speak to them in their native tongues. Although trying to speak in a lot languages is a good thing but it does hinder him in speaking Russian, he just can't pronounce those words properly. For example instead of saying "Da" he would say "Va" because he can't pronounce the hard "D" sound.
When Alexei was a young child, he was adducted from his three siblings but was saved by an old Persian man who had no family and was very rich. The man didn't know if the young child had a family or not so he in a sense adpoted Alexei has his own son. The old man taught Alexei many things including how to write poetry, make rugs, how to cook, and to worship Islam, as well as other things. Alexei was very spoiled as a child and got whatever he wanted and needed. When he got a little bit older at age 6 or 7, Alexei was evenutally found by his older brother. Eventhough the old man didn't want Alexei to go but he did allow Alexei's brother to take him back to where he belongs! That day the two brothers promised to never lose eachother again! His brother then raised him to the current day. He is still friends with the old man though and so does his brother and sisters, and doesn't think of the guy as a father but more as a friend.
Alexei has a pet fox, Mikhail. Mikhail is a Siberian Fox which is a type of domestic fox bred in a laboratory to look and behave similar to dogs out in Siberia. He has floppy ears like a dog, white and light blue-gray fur and light blue-gray around his amber colored eyes. Even though Mikhail is a weird talking, booze loving fox that seems somewhat cold towards strangers but he is very loving and friendly towards his family! His archenemies are the vacuum cleaner and the mailman.
Likes:
*Nature- Alexei loves the outdoors and loves to explore and admire it's beauty. And it makes for great inspiration for his poetry.
*Culture- He is very cultural and likes to learn about other people's cultures. Heck he'll even try to learn their native languages so he could talk to them!
*Writing- Alexei is a aspirating writer! He thinks the writing is a great way to express ones deeper thoughts and feelings. He would use his pen to write everything from short-stories to full fledged novels and fan-fictions! But most of all he just loves writing poetry! Mostly romantic and Gothic poetry. Some of his favorite poets include Mikhail Lermontov, Lord Byron, Alexsander Pushkin, and Edgar Allen Poe. Sometimes he has to keep his writings secret because his older brother and legal guardian doesn't like it whenever he writes.
*Cooking- He is a fantastic cook. He often makes very odd and exotic meals for his family!
*Pomegranates- Pomegranates are his favorite fruit. He eats them all of the time! Usually either eating the seeds or drinking it in a form of a juice.
Dislikes: (At least five.)
*People who control people- He does not like it when people are very controlling, especially when his older brother takes advantage over others!
*Perverts- That is pretty much self explanatory.
*People who censor people's writings- People write for a reason and that is to get their voices heard! So, he doesn't like it when something is censored. Take that SOPA!
*The term "Emo"- Alexei isn't emo! Though he might look like an emo person but he isn't some whiny brat that wants to commit suicide... Alexei loves living for Pete's sake!
*Incest- It's creepy and disturbing! He does not want to think of his family in that way!
Fatal Flaw: Asthma- Alexei has a medical problem in which whenever he does something for a long time, he runs out of breath and he can't breathe due to his lungs swelling up! And with his power it makes it even harder for him because he needs a lot of strengh and endurance for it! So in a middle of a battle or fight, he'd run away from the action in order to breathe into his inhaler so he wouldn't die from an asthma attack.
Recklessness- Like most youth his age, he isn't very careful and gets into trouble. Add superpowers to the mix and you get some pretty messed up situtains! It's very hard for him to not be so careless about his actions. His brother does nag him to try to be careful because he will hurt himself or someone else if he doesn't. Until this type of accident to occur, Alexei would still be as reckless as... well, a teenage boy!

Roleplay Sample:
It was dawn, the sparrows chirped and the grass was covered in a sprinkle of dew. Alexei had awoken to hear a huge crash coming from the down stairs! So he quickly grabbed his bathrobe and rushed towards the noise to find his a frighten Toris. Papers had been thrown and scattered everywhere in the small office. Rubbing his violet eyes in a tired manner he asked him with a yawn, "What's going on, Toris?"
Toris then said to the teenager shaking, "I-i... Um... Told your... Brother that I was leaving...," looking ashamed of him self he turned away.
Alexei felt bad for the Lithuanian so he took out his peach toned hand and wrapped it around Toris's, "Do you want to talk about it?" he asks Toris as the other starts to tear from the pain.
Toris could only muster a small nod before they both got snugged on the couch. Alexei comforts the older one and reassures him that everything would be all right in the end.
A few hours later Alexei packed his things into a suitcase and hands it to Toris as he exits the house, "Good luck! I hope that you get your life back in order..."
Toris, now not shaking anymore, "Thank you Alexei," the Lithuanian stated as he waves the boy good bye and trotted away from the horrible house that has cause him so much pain. As for Alexei he smiled at the thought that soon that every wrong that his brother has caused would end in a huge collapse just like their Soviet government at the moment. Although the sun is up in the middle of the sky, signaling noon time, for him the sun sets on the methodforical sense that nightmare for his friends is at it's end. Alexei gingerly closed the door behind him as he decided to cook up something for lunch. Maybe some haliva would be nice?
