- Brave
Alexis is fearless; nothing or no one seems to intimidate her, no matter how tough looking they are, she always rises up to the challenge. It gives her a thrill, actually, to go against odds.
Quick Witted
Alex can make good decisions on the fly. A lot of the time it works out for her, as she's got a good problem-solving mind, but sometimes making decisions so fast doesn't always end up so good.
Realistic
Alex chases dreams that she knows can be achieved. Perhaps she might not be as imaginative as some others, but it allows Alex to be confident in the goals she sets and it means she is a grounded person.
Brutish
Alex is very brutish in her actions -- she laughs at people's misfortune, communicates through punching you in the arm or shoving you, swears, curses, defies authority.. she is certainly not a model student.
History
Alexis only heard stories of her beautiful mother when her father was drunk, and not dead asleep or swinging at her. But the story changed every time, from princesses and dungeons to forbidden love and getting lost in Tokyo. The only thing Alex knew to be true was the picture she'd stolen from his wallet. Her mom was pretty -- too pretty to be her mom, she always thought. Angelic looking and almost fantasy-like, she couldn't ever imagine such a perfect being was related to her, and she'd consider the picture something her father had gotten off the internet if she thought he was smart enough to do that, and if he wasn't beside her in the picture.
Yes, just two short years after Alexis had been born, her mother, Aiya Hashimato, had been killed when a man shot her in the chest three times for the paper in her wallet. Her father never recovered. They were already living in a shoddy neighborhood, filled with gang activity and shady figures, because her mother had been an illegal immigrant they were strapped for cash and couldn't afford any better place. So her father simply fell into the crowd; got high, got drunk, and was never really there for her like a father should have been.
It wasn't like Alexis turned out better; she grew up the same. While she certainly was the one making sure her father didn't starve to death, she was also hanging with the wrong kids, doing stupid things at a very young age, but she learned how to handle herself. Though she was bitter towards her father, for never getting to have a real childhood, and always caring for him and not the other way around. But she lived like that for a long time, doing everything to keep them afloat, though why, she never knew.
When she was sixteen, they had a fight. He was yelling at her because she never bought the things he wanted when she went grocery shopping, as if he had a right to yell at her about that. She made the money -- she sold whatever she could, had a part time job at the burger place down the street, and still he yelled at her. Alexis remembers getting so angry; not only about whatever stupid thing he was saying to her while intoxicated now, but all the times he should've been better. Unfortunately, around that time was also when her powers had begun to awaken.
She set the place on fire.
Her father died in that fire, and only the smallest part of her feels guilty about it. Just the teeniest, tiniest part. Or at least, that's what she tells herself. Alexis was sent to live with her grandmother in Baltimore, who's basically half dead, and rather then be sent "contained", it was agreed she attend AEGIS. Anymore slip ups and it was not going to be good. She's only been here a few months, but so far so good. No major incidents, though she does perhaps stick out her tongue at the occasional teacher.
John Devan -- Father -- Deceased
A once pleasant man who became a drug addict and alcoholic after his wife was killed. He was a pretty terrible father to Alexis, and after a fight, she accidentally lit the house on fire and he died. She pretends like he got what he deserved, but she feels pretty guilty about it.
Aiya Hashimato -- Mother -- Deceased
She was killed by a robber when Alexis was two years old, and Alex has no memories of her. She does keep the photo that her father had of her on her at all times, though, or at least tries too. It gives her some sense of security and makes her wonder if she could've ever had a kinder life.
May Devan -- Grandmother -- Alive
Alexis was sent to live with her after she killed her father, and to be honest, Alexis has never liked a family member better then her Grandmother. Sure, she sleeps all day and can't see or hear for shit, but when they do talk she says stupidly funny things.
- Main Power
Pyrokenisis -- Alexis has the ability to control fire. She can ignite a flame in her palm, breathe fire out of her mouth, throw fireballs, and more. She can also control existing fire, such as ones not lit by her. Alexis' own fire cannot harm her, but fire created from other sources if she doesn't take control of it in time, can.
- Supporting Power A: Fire Mimicry/Flame Form -- A interesting extension of fire manipulation, Alex's powers activate when she musters up the focus and the energy to switch into her Flame Form, as she calls it. When she turns on her flame form, her entire body becomes made of fire. Intangible, but touching her burns. Her body acts exactly like fire, and Alexis can will the fire of her body to grow and shrink, though it always retains some sort of human shape or figure. Being in her Flame Form makes her fire abilities stronger and more powerful, but also harder to control, and easier to extinguish.
- Supporting Power B: Flame Wings -- Using her pyrokenisis, Alexis sprouts wings made of fire on her back and is able to fly with them as long as she maintains the energy to maintain them.
Limitations
- Weakness 1: --- Energy - Alexis's powers are tied to her energy. If she is too tired, too weak, or even mentally exhausted, her powers will be weak or she might not even be able to use them.
- Weakness 2: --- Emotion - If Alexis is emotionally unstable, her powers can fall out of her control. Fire is an unstable element, and just light the tiniest of fires in her palm without letting it go out of control takes a lot of willpower.
- Weakness 3: --- Water - Dumping a bucket of water on Alexis would extinguish her powers until she dries off, and being drenched in water in her Flame Form could very well kill her instantly, as her flame form is pure fire.
- Weakness 4: --- Fire Extinguishers - As humiliating as it may be, a Fire Extinguisher will extinguish Alexis's powers the exact same way as water might.
