[/ul]
PERSONALITY: if the point that aleksiel could easily fit into a number of cliques didn't already demonstrate the complexity of his personality, let it never be said that the blond is a simple person. because he's not. hell, when have people's personalities ever been simple? they aren't. not by a long shot.
as for aleksiel himself, he's generally a quiet person around individuals he doesn't know. it's not that he's shy or even remotely condescending towards his peers—it's just that, well. he's somewhat of an introvert, being the type of guy who prefers quietude over an abundance of noise, and he tends to be reserved around strangers and individuals with which he isn't familiar. call it cautiousness, perhaps; indeed, aleksiel is a wary person, borderline paranoid, who takes care to fly low on the drama-radar and refrain from drawing too much attention to himself. while he doesn't mind some attention, truth be told, he hates it when copious amounts of it are dumped on him when it clearly isn't wanted. unfortunately, his inclination towards feigning wallflowerism goes thwarted. constantly. he isn't part of the most popular crop of guys in the school, namely because his efforts toward normalcy don't get completely wrecked at every turn, but he comes pretty damn close, as he just has that aura to him that makes heads turn. even so, he's reluctantly learned to cope with the vague fame he's garnered over the years.
while aleksiel is generally cautious and guarded around strangers, after one breaks past the aloof veneer, surprisingly, one finds that the blond has a number of endearing quirks that make him an interesting person to be around and an overall pleasant, warm friend. around closer acquaintances and his inner circle of friends, the sixteen year old reveals his more lighthearted, joking side. playful teases aren't unusual, as well as the occasional corny joke. given his fondness for the unusual, it isn't odd for him to say or do the most random (or bizarre) things sometimes, though this tendency occasionally makes him the unwilling butt of his friend's jokes. (some of them still tease him over the point that one particular quirk dictates he always use a high-quality pen with good, flowing ink. well, it's probably because of the point that he spazzes a bit whenever he can't find his current 'lucky pen', but that's besides the point.) overall, frankly speaking, while he still remains somewhat reticent, aleksiel drops his guard around friends, undergoing a near-instant transformation that makes him abruptly more approachable and alive, in his own, quiet way.
when it comes to schoolwork, unfortunately, aleksiel is...well, quite the procrastinator. a slacker, if you will. he blames his laziness, and some of the other nerds scorn him for this, but frankly, he doesn't give a damn. (actually, it's hard to faze aleksiel at all most of the time; he has admirable self-control. that, combined with his inability to really care about the more typical, shallow things in life, makes him the type who doesn't really bother with how people view him. you could tell him the world is ending and the freaking zombie apocalypse is coming—even still, he wouldn't bat an eyelash. expect a vaguely sympathetic look and maybe, just maybe, a politely covered yawn.) but, digressions aside, returning to the topic of his laziness, aleksiel does just enough to pull off decent grade (high B's, some low A's); otherwise, grades are nothing more than a ranking system for which he simply doesn't have the energy. in a sense, he doesn't want to be an overachiever. it's not that he likes procrastinating. seriously, he really doesn't. it causes him too much stress. but normality and sheer averageness work just fine for him, and they allow him a pleasant sense of leeway that he otherwise wouldn't get if he were a straight-A student. with higher grades comes more expectations. and who wants to be bogged down and suffocated by those? these days, people toss around the word 'success' so easily that it has lost its meaning. he figures that, as long as he's happy and has a good-enough job in the future, his parents are happy, and his friends are happy, he's successful. happiness is a fickle thing though, so, well... suffice to say, he isn't entirely satisfied with his life. sometimes, he longs for something greater, but this inexplicable yearning is something he tends to suppress because, well, isn't it too selfish to want more when his life is already so good?
adding to that train of thought, aleksiel is a thinker. both logic and creativity come to him easily. don't let his grades fool you—as much as he is a slacker, his marks are hardly an accurate measure of his intelligence. actually, aleksiel is quite intelligent, sometimes cunning and even manipulative when he wants to be, and he's perceptive enough to catch onto things easily and reach appropriate conclusions on his own. as much as he seems to zone out, aleksiel can be quite observant at times when it suits him. often times, he is an immensely insightful individual, seeing the entire picture before honing in on the little details that contribute to the whole, piecing together profound interpretations and concepts in so seamless a fashion that people often stop to wonder how they've failed to notice precisely how deep he can be at times. this sense of profoundness shows in what he does; often, he can weave words together into beautiful phrases and half-sentences, making lovely lyrics for songs without trying. when he plays piano or guitar or sings, there's just this compelling quality to his music or his voice that makes people utterly breathless. there's just something that makes him a person people want to watch and look at and listen to, as if they'll miss something incredible if they look away. while his dedication to schoolwork is horribly lacking, the same isn't true for his music. he cares only all too much for his music, and it shows in the amount of time he stays cooped up in the music department or in his room, just strumming away at his guitar or coaxing breathtaking chords and arpeggios from a piano.
in spite of this, aleksiel isn't a person without flaws. he has an unhealthy dose of escapism to go hand-in-hand with his laziness, and the two fit together horrifically well. he doesn't like dealing with conflict and problems, hence his tendency to avoid unnecessary attention and drama. however, sometimes, this avoidance extends to him going out of his way to neglect problems altogether. when it comes time for him to confront them after turning a blind eye at them for so long, sometimes it's a struggle for him to pull through. he usually does. but not without facing a good amount of pain in the process. as they say, people don't think about things they do not think about. out of sight, out of mind. furthermore, aleksiel isn't the type to lose his cool, but when he does, oh man. watch out. he isn't quite like fire, spitting and raging directly at people, nor is he like lightning, striking quickly before withdrawing. he's more like ice, armed with scathing insults and cold, controlled hatred. when he's pissed, he clams up, becoming an irritable, frosty person whose biting remarks can really hurt. sometimes, he just has off days where he's irritable like this the entire twenty-four hours. other times, if people disturb him at bad moments, the same scenario occurs. really, it's best to avoid him when he is flaming pissed (if you'll excuse the irony) and wants to kill something and preferably maul it badly in the process. normally, he adopts a 'live and let live' mindset, but if you screw with him when he's just not in the mood for your crap, well. expect certain death. aleksiel is no pushover.
fortunately, loss of self-control is something that doesn't occur often to the blond male. more often than not, aleksiel simply lurks with his close friends, letting them coax unguarded smiles and laughs from him in ways he'd never let strangers. he can be fiercely protective of them, rising up instinctively against perceived wrongs against them. ironically, around friends might be when he's the greatest deceiver of all—if something's bothering him, he's quick to cover it up with a smile and keep everything bottled up until he reaches an emotional meltdown, just to keep from worrying people. conversely, he sometimes forces himself to be happy, which works. sometimes. maybe a little more than half the time. the effort of being happy, however, often just drains him, which leads him to an inevitable, eventual collapse of emotional response anyway. even so, honestly? he cares a damn lot about the people close to him, enough to take risks his wary personality would otherwise never let him take. if you're his enemy, you're screwed. but if you're one of his close allies, well. he might prove to be one of your best yet.
