Alexander Metico [12]//For Unk

Alex is usually seen wearing slightly fancy attire. It is usually black, sometimes a dark red, all dress clothes. Because he doesn't pay much attention to getting dressed, the shirt is usually half tucked in, the collar mostly popped, with the tie loose and the back end longer than the front. Very often the colors of his clothes do not match. When outside (and sometimes inside), he wears sunglasses and a black pinstripe fedora. In his left pocket at all times there is a pen and a piece of sheet music, for on the spot inspiration (he is left handed, so it is put in the left pocket for a quick draw.) In his right pocket is a regular piece of paper with another pen, for communicating, as he is mute.

If there is one thing in the world that Alex loves, it is his music. He almost literally cannot live without it. When he is not playing music, composing it, creating intrusments, or repairing instruments, he is usually depressed. Most emotions are shown through songs that are written and played on either piano while singing or guitar while singing. Generally, he is not a people person, although he will talk (through the use of writing, as he is mute) to someone for hours if they share his interests. Alex could care less if people like him or not: in truth, the only love in his life is music. Sadly enough, this mostly likely will be the only love in his life.

Early on in his life, his parents realized that he had musical talent. He would bang on pots an pans, whistle, and when given a simple recorder he spent hours in his room at a time playing it. As he grew older, they spent as much of their resources that they could spare on Alex. His childhood was relatively normal, with few conflicts. Many of his teen years were spent alone, which was when the depression started. At 17, he thought about suicide. Music kept him going. Now, living alone from them, he attempts to repay them with money and food. His efforts are mainly what keep his parents alive; they are older than many people in District 12 live to be, and they cannot work.

Although most people in District 12 are poor, he is one of the few wealthy.
