Character Development.
What is your characters name? Does the character have a nickname?
Alec Sebastian Fabray-Lopez. Um he has a few actually; Asshole, dick, Al, Sebastian, Baby Al when he was little, Minisnix, Tiny Tana, among those.
What is your characters hair color? Eye color?
His hair is a dark brown, and his eyes are brown as well. Though they're lighter than most.
What kind of distinguishing facial features does your character have?
His jaw is really strong. Like the way it's formed and everything. And not to mention he was born with a pretty set of lips~.
Does your character have a birthmark? Where is it? What about scars? How did he get them?
He has a birthmark on his right ass cheek. It's funny to him and he likes it a lot. He has scars for days, the most recent one from his knee surgery but he also has one right underneath his hair line from when he was 10 and cracked his head. He has others from fights and stupid guy things.
Who are your characters friends and family? Who does he surround himself with? Who are the people your character is closest to? Who does he wish he were closest to?
His family consists of like a thousand cousins. But mainly it's just: His Mom,Mami, Tate(his son), Jeremy, Gabi,Demi, and now Jai who are his siblings. His Abuela and his Uncle Puck. He doesn't know his sperm doner yet,so. Alec doesn't have a lot of friends but the few he does have are; Kat, Maddox, Pax, Mack(his son's godfather and his bestfriend), and Amelia(his son's mother and probably the love of his life). Alec surrounds himself with anyone, but he only truly shows people himself when he knows he can trust them around his son. He wishes he was more out there like his siblings, instead of just being snarky and rude to most people he meets. But he'd rather not get hurt.
Where was your character born? Where has he lived since then? Where does he call home?
Alec was born in a hospital,duh. Kidding. He was born in Brooklyn, and has lived in mid New York city since he was 2. His home is wherever he feels comfortable, which consists basically of the roof of an empty apartment.
Where does your character go when hes angry?
To his roof. It's the only place he truly feels safe at.
What is his biggest fear? Who has he told this to? Who would he never tell this to? Why?
Alec is afraid of two simple things..Not being wanted and having Tate taken away. He hasn't told anyone of it really, but he's made indirect comments about it. Probably not, and because he's learned that you can't trust anyone fully.
Does he have a secret?
He's having sex with a teacher and he's still in love with his ex girlfriend.
What makes your character laugh out loud?
A true laugh? Probably when someone directly hilarious just for him. He doesn't get tons of attention like that, because he doesn't believe he gets it. So if someone purposely makes him laugh, then yeah.
When has your character been in love? Had a broken heart?
He fell in love with his girlfriend Amelia"Amy"..And I'm pretty sure he's still in love with her. Yeah, the same girl broke his heart this pass February/early March.
What is in your characters refrigerator right now? On his bedroom floor? On his nightstand? In his garbage can?
In his refrigerator he'd have tons of gatorade and sausage. Alec loves sausage(no pun intended). Probably some corn and whatever else food his mom's decided to make that day. On his bedroom floor is nothing. Alec's been known to have a constant clean and organized room. Spare Tate's playmat of course. His nightstand holds a picture of him and his son the day he was born and gum, and probably a pacifier or two. His garbage? Diapers and bud bags, not to mention poptart wrappers.
Look at your characters feet. Describe what you see there. Does he wear dress shoes, gym shoes, or none at all? Is he in socks that are ratty and full of holes? Or is he wearing a pair of blue and gold slippers knitted by his grandmother?
His feet? He'd let his nurses paint his toes today so they have blue nailpolish on them. SnS. One leg is in a cast so you can only see the toes and the other is there just chilling. He doesnt wear socks unless he's out and about. Alec's body temp is too high to be constantly in clothes. His grandma makes blankets not slippers, but she did get him a really nice pair of chanklas.
When your character thinks of his childhood kitchen, what smell does he associate with it? Sauerkraut? Oatmeal cookies? Paint? Why is that smell so resonant for him?
His childhood kitchens would be his grandma's and the one he sees now. When he thinks of his Abuela's kitchen, he sees the red walls and the marron counter tops. And he smells enchiladas and tacos and ceviche. In his mom's kitchen he smells everything. From cookies to waffles. He especially loves when his mom takes her time to make his favorite breakfast foods just for him. Waffles are his weakness.
Your character is doing intense spring cleaning. What is easy for him to throw out? What is difficult for him to part with? Why?
Got that done this year, praiiiiise. Old things he knows he won't need, like school papers and Tate's old clothes and stuff that he can't fit anymore. He donates that. Stuff that has meaning..like Tate's stuffy that he's working on stitching back together and his small blanket that has Alec's initials stitched on the side.
Its Saturday at noon. What is your character doing? Give details. If he's eating breakfast, what exactly does he eat? If he's stretching out in his backyard to sun, what kind of blanket or towel does he lie on?
If it's noon then that means it's bathtime for Tate. Saturdays are pretty lame, but Alec and his son always go out and do something together. Tate is usually in his bath tub seat thing and splashing and Alec is shirtless because y'know water. They're probably going to the roof to look at the lights that night, or they're getting ready for a football game. Sometimes they just go for a swim or to the local park for a walk.
What is one strong memory that has stuck with your character from childhood? Why is it so powerful and lasting?
Probably when he was 8 Alec had a friend who was in the special day class.She was his bestfriend. He'd walk with the girl home and to school and he'd make sure she was always smiling. Then one day, Lucy passed away because of a brain tumor and Alec cried for a week straight. He remembers this memory the most because his mom's had held him and told him "Sometimes the things you want the most can't stay with you." And he has forever lived by that motto.
Your character is getting ready for a night out. Where is he going? What does he wear? Who will he be with?
A night out? Jesus, Alec needs one of those soon aha. Um probably just to the roof to go smoke and drink by himself. If you haven't guessed it yet, our little Latino is a secluded individual. He'd be wearing jeans and a tank top with a hoodie over it just because. He'd maybe invite a person or two, but it'd just depend on his mood.
