Appearance
Alexander is a slender young man standing at about 5' 9", weighing around 130 lbs, and with messy hair. His hair is black in color and his eyes are a light green. He usually has a dreamy look on his face.
Alexander wears a long-sleeved, v-neck shirt that shows quite a bit of his collar bones. He also wears a long-sleeved jacket that is white on the exterior but is pink and pull of floral designs on the interior. It just barely covers his hands. He wears black skinny jeans that are augmented with a red leather belt. He also wears white converse shoes.
Background Life in the city comes in all kinds of flavors. Some sweet and some horribly, horribly bitter. Alexander had a little bit of everything. His mother was a wife by day and a soothsayer by night. His father was an archaeologist (much to his wife's chagrin). Pokémon were prevalent in the city such as the typical annoying Pidgeys that stole the crumbs off the floor around your table at a cafe or a Mightyena facing off with a Purugly (they had their leashes thankfully).
Around the time of Alexander's sixteenth birthday, his father left on an expedition with a small group to an underground ruin found deep beneath the city. His mother, having received several visions beforehand, had finally pieced together what a higher power was trying to reveal to her. She begged her husband not to go but he was intent on going down there as his fascination with ancient times was unwavering. While he was gone, he was set upon by his deeply disturbed mother. He experienced her violent screaming and her strange talks to herself. She seemed to just be going out of her mind about the visions. They were tormenting her.
His father came back just in time for his sixteenth birthday. He even brought back a strange artifact to show his family; a beautiful silver key. He thought his son would love it and took it as a present. Alexander was overjoyed and relieved to have his dad come back. At this point, his mother was in a catatonic state. That night, something happened that Alexander would never forget even if he tried. He heard his father screaming.
He rushed into his parents' room to find his father backed up against the wall facing his room which a terrified expression. He looked in to find his mother hanging from the ceiling of their room. The only strange thing was that there was no rope; there were hands. Dark, twisted and ghastly looking hands were around her throat. Behind his mother's head was the distorted smile of a Ghost Pokemon; a Haunter. Several other Ghost Pokémon appeared and disappeared with her in a massive, blue flame. When Alexander and his father thought it was over, the Ghost Pokémon came back with twice the terrifying power. They took his father and dragged him away as if into another room but Alexander never saw him again after that. The Ghost Pokémon mocked him, laughed at him as he cowered in a corner, bawling his eyes out. They eventually left him by himself. His parents were presumed dead by the authorities and the research team was baffled. When they decided to search the ruins beneath the city, they found that their underground tunnel led to nothing; a dead-end. The ruins were gone as well.
For the next two years of his life, Alexander decided to try to learn how to be an explorer from his uncle who also lived in the city. His uncle retired a long time ago but decided that it would be best for his nephew if he was going to try to go on a journey. The journey would be to search for the ruins that vanished and to find out what happened to his parents. On the side, maybe he could search for a little treasure!
Personality Alexander tends to be preppy and cheerful most of the times despite looking somewhat distant in expression most of the time. He has a tendency to always choose who is friends are and doesn't really care about anyone less than that. He also has a secret; he is a complete nerd on the inside when it comes to mythology and ancient history of Pokémon. When that side of him comes out, he tends to become a bit...maniacal.
When it comes to his friends, he deeply cares for them. He believes in a reciprocated relationship in which if he receives love and care then he will treat his friends that way as well. He tries his best not to fight and is assertive when dealing with their problems.
Random Facts - Has never actually been to an excavation site or ruins on his own. - He was born in Snowpoint City. - His favorite types of Pokémon are: Grass, Ghost, and Ice-types. - His father's name is Jasper and his mother's name is Morgan. The whole family was named after gemstones such as Alexandrite, Jasper, and Morganite. His great grandfather's name was Jade.

[A]ccepted. Please proceed on to the Lab or Ranger Station. Oh no. Seems the Lab is closed due to the region wide power outage. Sorry, guess you'll have to settle with the Ranger Station.
