Present Background

Occupation: Bike messenger
Domain of: Hathaway
Education: public schooling through high school
Activities: avoiding work, taking all the packages that go anywhere near the beach, hanging out, doing martial arts
Home: Small apartment a few blocks away from the beach
Finance: Eh, he does OK. The salary at the bike messenger isn't great but he says he's a man of simple tastes
History: Alex never knew his dad, he skipped out on his mom before Alex was born. His mom tried but struggled to make ends meet and Alex was on his own a lot. He ran a little wild, got involved with the wrong sort of kids, got into a lot of street fights. Finally, one of his teachers recommended an after-school youth center to Alex's mom. She said yes mostly because it was free of charge and meant she could pick up more hours at work.

It turned out to be a good thing. Alex got involved in martial arts classes and learned a little discipline. He also made friends with kids who weren't on a crash course with the law.

He never went to college and picked up a minimum wage job as a bike messenger. He likes money and would love to have more of it, so he's always looking for the next hustle or get-rich scheme. He still does martial arts, and he's quite accomplished at tae kwon do especially. He hangs out at the beach a lot and has picked up some surfing skills although he's no where near pro.


Past Background

Occupation: Super soldier, cage fighter, bike messenger, brat
Education: MANTICORE+
Activities: Being a super soldier and assassin, fighting, running scams, helping Max and Logan out
Home: Manticore then Seattle
Finance: Not that great, but then, no one's really was
History: Alec is a genetically engineered human -- a transgenic. He's a mix of about 25 humans and black panther DNA. Aside from his amped up genes, he was trained for deep cover missions and trained extensively in:
* Weapons - P90 submachine gun, M-9 pistol, Colt M4, Kalashnikov assault rifle.
* Martial Arts - Taekwondo (First degree black belt) and Krav Maga specifically, extraordinary martial arts proficiency in general.
* Additional - METT-T, OCOKA, special ops, computer proficiency.
* Foreign language certifications - 7 primary, 5 secondary, plus 3 Middle Eastern tribal dialects.
* Pilot certification - Cessna, B-52, BlackHawk helicopter, Falcon fighter jet

When Manticore was taken down and Alec had to live in the world, he took up cage fighting to make money and then, after he met up with Max again, wormed his way into a job at Jam Pony.
