      Personality
_{character trait specifics:}
MBTI: INTP, The Logician
INTROVERTED

Positive traits: Intelligent | Practical | Diligent | Loyal | Caring
  Intelligent: _{Maybe it's fitting that a big brain would fit between two big ears. Perhaps it will make up for the lack of Alec's muscle and bulk of body. Though book smart, Alec can still have trouble socially, especially when it comes to reading another's intentions.}
Practical: _{Going hand and hand with intelligence, Alec may be seen as boring to some with his obnoxiously high level of practicality. He does not feed into ridiculous theories or ideas and tends to find dreams a waste of time.}
Diligent: _{Though others may not recognize the painstaking attention and care Alec puts into his work, it is there. He doesn't have a very high value of himself, and doubts others do either, but refuses to let his status drop even lower. Hire Alec for even the simplest supply run and you can guarantee in will be followed through with the utmost precision.}
Loyal: _{Perhaps it is because he hasn't been offered much sustainable kindness in his young life, that he latches onto any bit he can find. Once you have proven yourself, Alec will bend over backward to prove his loyalty.}
Caring:_{A trait he inherited from his mother, though few, if any, Alec cares deeply about those close to him.}

Neutral traits: Quiet | Composed | Literal
   Quiet: _{If quiet was noticed, it would be Alec's most describing trait. Though maybe shy isn't the way to put it, he isn't afraid to talk. He just prefers not to.}
  Composed: _{Though he will proudly wear his opinion on his sleeve, it will be displayed in a practical sense with no littering emotions. He prefers to keep clear-headed and composed more often than not and tends to bury his true feelings somewhere that he can't even find.}
  Literal: _{Alec has a hard time understanding metaphors and analogies, while sarcasm seems to be a foreign language.}

Negative traits: Awkward | Aloof | Low Ego | Critical | Unforgiving | Pessimistic | Irritable
  Awkward: _{Perhaps due to his quiet and practical nature, Alec has a difficult time socially. He prefers to keep to himself most of the time, which tends to make it worse.}
Aloof: _{Going hand in hand with awkward, Alec can come off quite aloof or detached and is never overly friendly.}
  Low Ego: _{Maybe due to his past, maybe due to the prejudice nature of others, maybe it is just his personality, Alec tends to hold a very low self-worth. He puts others miles before him, especially the ones he is closed to, and sometimes believes that it wouldn't make much of difference without him there.}
  Critical: _{Alec grew up with critical comments thrown down his throat since birth. From his parents' disapproving glances and most of the herd's in general remarks, it is not surprising that he learned to due the same.}
  Unforgiving: _{Given up on a few to many times, Alec is hesitant to forgive those who have wronged him in the past, attempting to avoid any reoccurring pain. In correspondence to this trait Alec is quite untrusting and suspicious of others upon first crossing paths.}
Pessimistic: _{However few, Alec can have a difficult time focusing on the good of a situation, instead he tends to focus on everything that goes wrong. This tends to drastically increase his depressive symptoms which can cause quite a few problems in his everyday life.}
Irritable: _{He really doesn't mean it, but Alec's mood tends to drop quite often, and can develop an overwhelming sense of annoyance for anyone he comes into contact with, no matter how friendly the horse. It is times like these that he most often locks himself inside to read or work on his writing.}

Likes: Ambition | Creation | Books | Music | Gardening | Animals
  Ambition: _{Alec values ambition and dedication above all else. Perhaps due to the fact that he had to work extra hard to just keep afloat, even as a teenager. He can become extremely irritated with those who lack try but idolizes those who do.}
  Creation: _{There is something beautiful about the creation of a man's hard work. Alec was born into the life of a craftsman and plans to be one until the day he dies. Though he may not have been blessed with the possible traits to construct buildings or repair homes like his parents, Alec still had found a love for the arts at a young age. His little home tends to be lined with book shelves, stacked high with literature and music records.}
Books: _{Being hidden away in Torrine is one form of escape but it doesn't compare to the escape a book will offer, more similar to a look into a new world than a locked prison. It is rare for a Talorian of a mere commoner rank to establish an interest in literature but it seemed Alec was encased in his love for a nice hard covered book since he was a child. He enjoys writing as well, though he is rarely struck with a worthy idea to put on paper.}
Music: _{Alec is a lover of art, music is no exception. He enjoys the soft sounds of wooden percussion instruments with enthusiasm and would even go as far as to drop a dollar into a street performer's hat. Though quite expensive, he has invested in a few records to keep in his own home. He enjoys the soothing sounds especially while reading a good book.}
Gardening: _{Perhaps he developed this trait from his mother who was almost always found attending the family's garden outside of work. He was taught that a healthy garden was a representation of a worthy residence and even after leaving his childhood home underneath his parents' roof, he sill tries to attend a garden, wherever his current living arrangement. .}
Animals: _{You won't find the same level of judgement in an animal that shines from another equine. Alec enjoys the simplicity of another species's presences, or perhaps it is their lack of words.}

Dislikes: Self Absorption | Disloyalty | Preconception | Unnecessary noise
Self Absorption: _{Maybe because of Alec's already low self esteem, Alec can be quite bothered by those with an ego any higher than slightly below average. He believes it is better to appear humble and modest than overly proud.}
  Disloyalty: _{It's hard for Alec to register why someone would be unloyal to another who has only been there for you. He will not tolerate disloyalty and will find it very difficult trusting an unreliable character again.}
Preconception:_{If you don't know the whole story, Alec believes you should keep your opinion quiet. Jumping to conclusions is unrealistic and more importantly, unreliable. Yet still, Alec is continuously judged with preconception and prejudice views from his herd members for multiple reasons.}
Unnecessary Noise: _{Alec is a quiet, introverted soul. Anything loud or out of place he prefers to veer away from.}

Story

_{_{Updated: 4-17-17}}

- Born to Craftsman parents living in the surrounding villages. Pegasi dam and common horse sire. Both very prideful in there work with mother constructing building designs and interior while his father hauled lumber and built the homes. Creating and repairing structures all through the surrounding villages and Inaria.
- Alec had no knack for the creativity his mother possessed or the physical skill that his father cherished. This only grew to upset the stallion, in turn inflicting unnecessary pain or humiliation to his son. As he slowly grew stronger Alec began to carry supplies to and from his parent's work zones.
- At 15 he began to transport goods for others and at age 16 he was betrothed to a common horse mare, much to his father's relief. A few weeks into wedding planning, Alec's wife-to-be, young and spiteful toward her family, tricked the dense teen into a sexual encounter. It was only a few weeks later that the young mare began to swell with foal, exposing the two children. The young mother fled while Alec was branded and chased from his childhood home by his father.
- Devastated, homeless, and now forcibly orphaned, Alec lived off table scraps and spare change until he was capable of acquiring small jobs transferring goods or delivering news. Eventually he was able to purchase a small hut in the surrounding villages, right on the border of Inaria where most of his clients resided.
***At age 25 he was hauled away to Torrine for his own protection against Talori traitors. During this time he was blessed by Cascade with Retrocognition, shocked by these events, Alec dove into any and all content of the God's Lore. He eventually came to the unpopular realization that it was not Cascade's bias toward pegasi, but the Talorians. This developed anger toward his herd.
- Alec spent most of his time hiding away in his temporary home in Torrine studying history and lore until he was confronted by a guardian with a child in tow. At 9 years of age, the young pegasus filly was said to be his daughter, sent to her father's custody by her unlocated mother who believed her safety would be preserved within Torrine's walls.
- Upon the release of Torrine's custody, Alec struggled to keep his rowdy daughter under control, usually preferring to stay hidden in books rather than fight with her. After regaining his freedom from the oddball settlement, Alec meets a small yet impressively beautiful mare that he unawaringly grows attached to in only a few hours.
- Now 26 and a mere week after release from Torrine, The Summer Solstice Ceremony seems to go off without a hitch until the crowd is attacked by members of The Flight. Upon confrontation of a few members, Alec chooses to side with The Flight due to similar views and the safety of his daughter. Alec and Agnes are free from imprisonment in Torrine.
- Alec begins to construct plans and strategies with the flock members, ironically receiving a seemingly delayed letter from the Sage requesting a change of rank to a Philosopher position, which is laughably accepted.

***Switch to in-game events

_{Small Plots}
- After The Flight's company begins to settle into their roles within Talori ground, Alec begins to receive and return letters to and from Selora, growing their seedling of a relationship.
- After Alec's rank change, he leaves Agnes under the watchful eye of a few young flock members to travel to Cascade's Grotto in search of redemption for supporting the terrorists who destroyed her city. Though along this journey he is taken hostage by a young Quagga known as Jay for only a short time. He does not reach Cascade's Grotto and instead chooses to head home upon release, feeling that his time was wasted.

Tid-bits
- Despite them having quite an impact on his low self esteem, Alec really does love his wings and finds others who posses them most beautiful.
- Glasses.
- Can sometimes stutter when nervous.
- Exceedingly awkward around mares.
- Really enjoys the expressiveness of tattoos, body paint, and hair dye but isn't brave enough to use any of them himself.
- 99% of the time doesn't want to be talking to you.
- 100% awkward dad, 100% has no idea how to parent
