Difference between revisions of "Alex"

"Most people think life sucks and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ- I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried. You owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then? One day you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool. But you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then, one day you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG.
You get hit by a city bus and then maybe you die."

—– Denis Leary

“A pessimist is a man who thinks all women are bad. An optimist is one who hopes they are.”

—– Chauncey Mitchell Depew

• Deliveries - Alex is a high speed, discreet courier. She provides this service to anyone who will pay- but she's contracted more by criminal types. So long as they don't share details she isn't culpable. There's no legal basis for expecting her to know, after all. She just delivers packages. Despite her other job Alex is also employed as a delivery girl for a Chinese food place. Have to pay the bills somehow.

• Local - Alex was relocated into Detroit following the enactment of Measure 2. Kicking and screaming. Her father was arrested after a drunken altercation with the police officers serving the eviction warrant.

• White Knight - Whether she admits it or not Alex will stand up for people she perceives as being helpless. She was there once.

• Her Car - Alex drives a black BMW 535i, complete with turbocharged engine (standard) and the iDrive computerized systems. It's her baby. It might need repairs at some point.

• Crime - Alex has been known to steal cars, break into houses, and pick pockets. In recent years she is more likely to do this to people who wrong her, bullies, and criminals. She especially has a bone to pick with drug dealers. Somehow no one ever seems to trace this back to her.

• Music - Everyone knows that Alex loves to jam on her father's guitar. She even has a synthesizer, sequencer and keyboard. Does she record anything worth listening to? Who knows.

Supernatural

• Cyberkinetic - What does that mean? Alex can control vehicles with her mind. She can change channels on a television with a glance, turn off the lights with a thought, and change songs on her MP3 player just by being bored. There's no finesse involved; she literally brute forces her way into electronic systems and makes them her own. Part of the reason she loves her car so much is that every system, every lock, even the ignition... Can be controlled with a thought.

• Unseen - Alex used to be shy. People would just ignore her. Now she knows that it is Psychic Invisibility. She can walk into someone's home, steal their purse and their jewelry then walk out and no one will even realize she came in. So long as she's careful.
