alexis tucker
STUBBORN a*****e

Nobody tells Alexis what to do. <******** try it, buddy, they'll kick your a**. Alexis sees rules more as guidelines and suggestions than actual laws, you see! They're abrasive, aggressive, and generally an unpleasant person to be around unless they want something from you: because then, in that case, they just turn into an awkward child. They're not entirely heartless: just emotionally immature and not particularly sure how to talk to people? Alexis likes some things, but they're REALLY REALLY AWFUL at showing that they do.

FIVE FINGER DISCOUNT

Alexis may not make a lot of money, but that sure as hell isn't going to stop them from taking what they want (within reason). They're a frequent pickpocket, an occasional shoplifter, and generally the type of person who - if you knew about it - you wouldn't leave alone with your valuables. What they don't want, they pawn for extra pocket cash. After all, all these people won't miss their wallets, right?
Alexis is on probation right now, really, because stealing multiple valuable items of jewelry from the fancy jewelery place in the mall - and getting caught - was. It wasn't clever. (And they didn't even get to keep the material. Assholes.) They still shoplift, of course, but...a slight bit more carefully. Don't let anyone know. Keep it small.

FREEDIVER

Alexis isn't going to break any records, but put them in the water and they do a lot better than they rationally should. They can stay underwater for a long while at a time without coming up for air, and can dive just a bit deeper than a normal human should be able to do unaided.

(Also, sometimes their hair looks really good after it gets wet instead of making them look like a drowned rat, but that might be more so genetics and less so innate powers.)

ANYTHING ELSE?

Alexis is genderqueer! They use they/them pronouns and bind, but are generally not too fussed about being mistaken for a pretty boy or a handsome girl. They're nineteen years old, an unstoppable omnivore who thinks there are no bad foods, and partially blind in their left eye due to juvenile open-angle glaucoma that was never treated due to a lack of health insurance.

If you see them on a rooftop, don't be alarmed. They like to feel tall. Being 5'3" is a terrible thing.

Hey, Daekie! I'm really excited to have you joining Ashdown!

Alexis's high concept is good, though I would like to know if they have any redeeming qualities. wink The elaboration is already meant to be a very short summary, so I'm not completely sure you need the second paragraph where you essentially summarize what you said in the first.

With regards to their trouble, shoplifting, like setting fires with your mind (the example), is not a trouble in and of itself - what kind of standing scrape has Alexis's shoplifting gotten them into that could be a compelling plot motivator? How does that trouble affect their actions? Did they perhaps steal from the wrong person, get caught once, etc?

Freediver - looks rad! Thumbs up.

Anything else - Looks good!

Just be aware that your trouble's gotta be something that affects your character in a big way, is all!! Otherwise, things look good!

APPROVED !!
