"When life gives you Lemons, help Lemons kill life…" —Alexei "Lemons" Ortov †

Player: Triggerhappy

Personal Information

Born on a poor urban world, Alex grew up as somewhat of a bookworm and nerd, spending days in simulations or in the library. His low social standing and lack of official education got him drafted at the age of 16, and he spent three years in the local militia where he was trained as a gunman and a light mech pilot. He developed a love for powered armor and heavy weapons, specifically tinkering with said equipment, as well as proved himself a decent tactician on the field. Still, he remained a shut-in and introvert, avoiding human contact, and keeping to his own studies and hobbies. Said hobbies include movies (specifically anime) and sometimes weapon-focused engineering. His commander referred to him as the 'Lemons that life gave him', in reference to Alex's social uselessness.

165 centimeters tall, blond, blue eyes. Decently built. Quick reflexes. Knows his way around a basic computer and is a quick learner. Has a lot of reading and study hours on record due to his self-sufficiency and abundance of free time.

Personality

Quiet and normally calm. Kind. Quite a bit naive. Ever so slightly egotistical. Devious when its needed. Easily angered, and has a silent and malevolent way to express anger. Introverted. Talks as little as possible. Sharp thinker. Industrious. Makes quiet and often times rather dark jokes. Becomes extra-humorous when drunk. Violently excited by new and interesting tech.

Has a distinct accent (Russian :D) if you get him talking.

Reason your character got REKT

In boot-camp, his direct commander made a tactical mistake in war-games and blamed it on Alex. The commander had strong personal connections. When Alex almost-successfully defended himself in military court, and therefore incriminated the commander, said commander had him shipped off-world.

Questions

What was your character's dream, before getting shipped to Tartarus? Was there anything in particular your character dreamed of accomplishing someday?

Alex wanted to join the armed forces as an engineer, hoping for a chance to bring some of his ideas to life, but was too distraught by the thought of interacting with a lot of people to achieve that, so he kept to himself and continued with his studies.

List a few ways your character's personality could develop and/or change over the course of the story.

When faced with a die or fight situation, where he would need to interact with a lot of people, Alex is likely to become a bit more open for the sake of fighting. If he is to move on in the world, he must become more comfortable living in it.

What really sets your character apart from other characters, and makes your character unique?

Alex is rather introverted and quiet, but has the skills ( and stats (all pun intended) ) to perform minor miracles when needed. As a very closed and unsure young man, he has a lot of room to grow and improve ( or degrade ) as a character, possibly making him a better team player.

What's a serious flaw your character has, that he/she has difficulty overcoming even when it matters most? Feel free to list more than one.

He is extremely introverted, and always aims to achieve his goals alone, rather than relying on others. He has strong trust issues and rarely uses offered help, even if it would make his life a lot easier. He hates socializing on a large scale more than anything.

Does your character have any interests? Hobbies? Passions or strong opinions? Relate two or more of these.

Enjoys inventing and innovating. Watches anime and other movies on his free time.

Tell a short story about something that happened between your character and someone they were close to before they got shipped to Tartarus.

Alex separated himself from his own family, ignoring calls from his parents and brothers. He no longer knows if they are even alive.

Tell a short story about a scenario where your character is forced to leave an ally behind to finish the mission.

Tell a short story about a scenario where your character dies in what he/she would consider the best way possible.

"Alex tried again and again to unlock the bridge. His hand was shot to hell, like the rest of his body, and every movement brought him pain, but he kept on trying. He had only minutes left to live, and he could barely move. And if things went the way they were going, his killers would get away with it too.

"The hatch finally opened, and Alex threw himself into the bridge. Several shots penetrated his head and body, and his body fell on the floor. But not before a bundle of grenades rolled off of his wounded hands onto the floor. The bridge crew tried to take cover, but a series of frag explosions shattered almost every surface on the bridge, killing most, and wounding the rest."

Tell a short story about a scenario where your character would be in his/her element.

"Finally, he was home. No more people to talk to today. He closed the blinds and locked the door, turning on the powerful projectors inside. A flip of a switch, and the coffee machine came to life. Rolling out his monitor, he turned on the next episode of 'Space Battleship Yamato'. Satisfied, he sat behind his work bench, and stretched, and went to work on the robotic arm he stole from the scrap yard. He would make the damn thing work."
