" fast beating pulse and short breaths as sweat drips down the temple to the base of an earlobe, sniffing while rubbing an irrated red nose with bloodshot eyes suddenly dilated, salted tears falling upon heated cheeks while watching a dancer lose themselves on stage ... "
; blasting under the bridge by red hot chilli peppers down mainstreet we’ve spotted alexander o'lachlan sporting their signature blank eyes with a furrowed brow. the forty-three ( thirty-six ) year old nephilim who’s been in town for forty years often can be seen attending live performances enjoying the arts, early morning jogs with dew flying from his sneakers, enjoying a night out at envy, or working as an firefighter at station thirteen. people say they display insouciant and contemptible traits, but we rather trust their vibes. also, we’ve heard they love the arts aren’t they fascinating ??

at a young age, alex was plagued with the question, "why'd they leave me?" he was three years old when he was adopted and he had a difficult time adjusting. a quiet rage began to fill his heart and his behaviour began to become uncontrollable. his new parents sent him to counselling once they noticed his struggle. he continued with therapy as he grew older and even though he wasn't without issues, his temper was easier to control.
as he and his siblings grew older, three younger than him, he took on the role of an older brother. his main trait was being the eldest and taking care of them; always thinking about the best for them, caring about their feelings and carefully watching how people would treat them. his bond with his siblings felt more strong and durable than that he shared with his parents. even though he'll forever be grateful, he continues to struggle with attachment to parental figures and often has issues with figures of authority.
( TW: drug addiction && abuse ) once an adult, he went to the nearest college as to not be too far from family. he finished a two year associate degree in science, as math always came naturally to him. unfortunately, as alexander was attending school his performance saw a quick decline and he became easily frustrated, losing faith in himself. he turned to performance enhancers to get himself through nights of studying at first, it was then followed by abusing controlled substances and narcotics. he luckily was able to graduate but by then his addiction was at an all time high. he stayed in the same area that he attended school for a year, spending it couch hopping with some friends. he spent nights going out and partying until he started losing friendships and trusted people he shouldn't have. he had multiple people screw him over: stealing from him, leaving him in shady places unconcious, getting into physical altercations. he became fed up after a year and ran back home.
once home, alex didn't get any help for his drug abuse/addiction. he suffered withdrawals "in secret." ( his family did notice something ) he had almost gotten through the worst hell he'd ever known until he found a hookup in town, taking it as soon as he could get his hands on it. he continues to use to this day, he calls them, "pick me ups" using it as a performance enhancer once again. alex is firm in his belief that he has a handle on it, thinking of himself as a "high functioning addict." convinced, he applied to station 13 and managed to land his current position.
high school girlfriend: this would have been a very sweet and innocent introduction to love. this would have been someone he had a crush on since the first time he saw her, who luckily said yes to this boy who searched for love. she would have been his first time and can discuss how their relationship was, how it ended and how it is now.
first same-sex partner: this could be someone from town when he was heading to college or someone who he met in college. he started experimenting once he was single cause he always knew. they would have been really comfortable with one another but his addiction would have gotten in the way of any future growth.
drug dealer: self explanatory, he needs to get it from somewhere?
transactional relationship: this would be a situation where he pays to have someone give him their urine to fake any tests, station 13 may lay on the crew.
childhood best friend: this would be someone he bonded with early on, growing up with one another in the same school system. they were similar enough to enjoy their time together but different enough to never get bored with one another. they would have had a fallout or friendly seperation either cause of their seperate futures or they went to the school in the same area and his addiction seperated them.
no strings attached: they would often drink and sleep together but nothing else. this is pure physical connection, they enjoy roleplaying while out of and in bed.
suspicious co-worker: this connection would be someone who has a feeling or recognises that alex is a user. it would cause tension between them but they stay civil at work. outside of work is a whole other story...
antagonistic: someone who dislikes alex due to his history. a gossip who would keep the story of his drug use alive.
a wingman/fellow user: someone he can party with and rave out at night.
guardian angel: an angel who takes him under their wing to teach him to be better and help him understand what being an angel really means.
