[/center]characters name; Alexander Lightwood
nicknames; Alec
characters age; 18
grade; Adult.
species; Nephlim
celeb/face claim; Gaspard Ulliel
picture;
appearance; Alec has eyes so purely blue you could see the sky dancing behind the fragile glass-like surface. Sometimes they stare into the depths of your very being, and others, lead the way into his own. His face is soft, with a hint of high cheek bones and an expressive mouth prone to soft smiles and stern angles. His skin is pale, almost porcelain with a scarred, combat ridden, rune engraved surface. His hair is a dark, unkempt mess that always begs for a trim. Feathery strands are wild and soft to touch, the light catching and displaying an array of auburn and coal. He is tall, but not overtly so, with lean muscles built for speed and combat. His hands are sleek and almost delicate, but roughly worn from years of training and fighting with his bow and arrows. A dagger often contributing as well. He holds himself tall with an air of authority when it's needed, but will just as easily slouch, trying to fade into the background.
It's rare for him to be seen in anything but a pair of comfortable, well worn jeans. They'll cling to him like a haggard second skin, mends in the old fabric as many as he has scars. A dark, beaten undershirt will hid beneath a tattered, faded sweater that has seen its own personal war. The frayed sleeves reach past his wrists, stretched from the months and years the Shadowhunter has pulled the wool over his hands, either out of habit, or to keep his hands warm. A sturdy pair of sneakers, tied tightly, and strategically will accompany him on all his travels. They are generic, but well made and able to take a lot of wear and tear.
When dressed for battle, he wears specially made clothing that can protect him well against a number of things, blades and claws being at the forefront. The material is tough, but breathable and easy to move in. It fits tightly to him and add protection to almost every part of his body. It is always black, aiding them as much as it announces that he is indeed Nephlim.
personality; Alec is a strong minded introvert. He will speak his mind only when he believes it necessary, and tends to leave the talking to his siblings. He can be very determined about his views, and often stubborn when he doesn't wish to accept even his own feelings as anything other than what he knows.
He is very protective of those he cares about, and takes any insult or injury to them personally and severely. At times, this is a strength in battle, but also a weakness, causing him to overeat or throw himself into a situation he is unprepared and unequipped for, earning him even more scars, both to his body and his pride. Alec takes his responsibility as an adult very seriously. Using his authority to protect his loved ones and make responsible decisions.
Despite his knowledge of demons, fighting and runes, he knows little about the world outside of the Shadowhunter experience. He is often ignorant, and almost innocent.
history; Alec has always been the oldest in the family. Raised from a young age to be a fighter, protecting innocent lives from the wrath and destruction that demons and those that side with them bring to the world. He has never been the best at combat, but easily picked up knowledge from text. His sister Isabelle, and adopted brother, Jace, growing up with him only a few years apart in age. His youngest brother Max, born several years apart of them.
Their parents weren't considered adoring, and more like teachers than anything else, tutoring them in the way of Nephlim when they were at the Institute, where they were raised. They often left on orders of the Clave. Hodge, another Shadowhunter who runs the Institute, also spent a great deal of the childrens' lives' teaching them to be better Shadowhunters.
Shortly after Clary Fray is introduced to him, his life turns upside down. He has problems accepting her, and specifically accepting that Jace is attracted to her. They find out that her mother is linked to the world of the Nephlim, and that Magnus Bane, the High Warlock of Brooklyn helped seal away her memories throughout her entire life at a party the colorful man throws. It was already a feat in itself to stand the girl, but now, Alec had a glittery, very gay Warlock pinning after him. The man gives him his number, and tell him to call him.
Alec was once in love with Jace, trying to pretend that he was 'normal' and not gay, always afraid his closely guarded secret would be discovered. He finds that Isabelle, Jace, and even Clary seem to discover his secret eventually, and has difficulty coming to terms with being so easy to read. He feels he has to compete with Jace, to prove to him that he is good enough for the blond, and the rest of the world, and ends up mortally wounded by a greater demon, when everyone tries to find out more about Clary Fray and what is really going on in the now confused world.
Magnus is called directly to heal Alec, saving him from the brink of death. Soon, Alec is dating the Warlock without anyone knowing much about it.
Alec ends up dealing with many obstacles. Jace and Clary's more then family attraction to each other, his own feelings for Jace and Magnus, a Mundane turned vampire and an army of demons trying to destroy Alicante while the other adult Shadowhunters are having a nice little chat about what to do when or if the things attack. He finds he indeed loves the High Warlock, after having a less then warm heart to heart with Jace, and goes looking for him during the initial attack on the city, leaving his family thinking they are well protected. He protects Magnus from being overhauled by a large group of demons, but later find that Sebastian, his alleged cousin, has tried to kill his sister, and effectively kills his youngest brother.
He has little time to mourn his lost family, as an all out war begins against Alicante, directed by Clary and Jace's father, Valentine while the Clave is being over run by Luke (Clary's self proclaimed uncle and warewolf) so that Downworlders may fight along side the Nephlim. Clary, having made use of her ability to create Runes from nothing, creates a Rune that allows Shadowhunters to bond with Downworlds, sharing in their strength to fight against the onslaught of demons. Alec searches for Magnus, and bonds to him, along with kissing him in a room full of every Nephlim and Downworlder possible, putting their relationship out into the open. Leaving his parents confused, and Isabelle and Clary elated, and his boyfriend very surprised, but proud.
The war ends sooner than anyone expects, but leaving many of Alicante's protectors injured, but few dead. Alec is now able to rest once more, grieve his younger brother, and deepen his relationship with Magnus.
sexual preferance; Homosexual.
family; He is the son of Maryse and Robert Lightwood. Isabelle and Max are his siblings, and Jace is his adoptive brother.
pets; The only one close to him is Magnus's cat, Chairman Meow.
those random skills!
rp sample; At the subtle change in his surroundings, he slowly opened one eye, automatically pinpointing where the disturbance had come from. Making out through his drowsiness the sound of running water, he sat up slowly and rubbed at his eyes.[/size]
He didn't bother getting up since it was most likely Kuma, and if it wasn't he had a revolver under his pillow. Instead, he untied the hair tie holding the mass of a strawberry river to let his hair fall over his shoulders. He almost never slept with his hair up but had forgotten to undo it before he had fallen into unconsciousness.
One hand lay in his lap atop the sheets that kept him decently covered, the other combing through his hair absently out of habit, still half asleep. ( This is a bit outdated.)
