Basic Info:
Tall, Dark, and Handsome... just kidding.
Male
Human
Kinda Smart (or smart-mouthed) sometimes
Lives up to being a Dummeh Talla other times
Family Info:
Father - hardworking blacksmith in Steelbone
Mother - traveling bard and intellectual
Siblings - none. Parents were not on good terms with one another
Bastard - what? Oh yeah. Alex is a bastard child. Born out of wedlock.
Many might mistake Alex for being a mage, given the "staff" he often carries around with him. Should anyone ask, they'll find that the stick is just a cheap replica of a true wizard's staff, and it holds no true magical powers apart from the nicely glowing stone set in the head. The real reason he uses it: it takes his mind back to some old training exercises, which improves his focus while casting his one and only spell.
His one and only spell... would be a simple Ray of Fire. You might ask, Why? He may have thought he'd become a mage once, but after a year of study under the tutelage of a professional wizard in Jonsa, it became apparent that the boy had absolutely no affinity for any of the elements apart from Fire. Perhaps he may have continued his education regardless, improving upon his affinity for Fire magic, but when his mother called him a failure and refused to continue paying for his education, he was forced to give up the study of magic to join his father at the forge. There, he found a place to make use of his magic. There, he found enough work to repay the debt he owed to a very old, very prickly, and very powerful wizard, though it would be many years until he became free of his debt.
Many, many years... if it hadn't been for the zombies. Now, having no true expertise, Alex has been making due with the little bits he knows and learning as he goes, focusing on whatever skills are needed of him most at the time. Just so long as he survives this day to the next....
