personality evaltuated. Alexander has always been a happy boy, even when he was little. He amazed his parents as he walked the harsh streets of london without any fear, almost as if he didn't have a care in the world. The truth was that he had worked as many people as he could around the school that he went to and the houses in his street, along with the streets nearby. He was a people person, there was no doubt about that, he always tried his best to make people happy, no matter what. He has always had a long list of friends, striving to keep in touch with them all, even if it meant running himself ragged all day and night to see them. This was hard to do when you're a teenager in a busy town like london, especially when your sights are set on the glamour of hollywood. That's when he decided to use his extrovert personality to become what he wanted to be, an actor.
A true sports lover, he appreciates more the non-contact sports like football (or soccer) and his favourite team, Tottenham Hotspur, has been one he's loved since he was a little boy. This is one of the only things in the world he will not drop to make time for family and friends for. When a Tottenham Hotspur, or Spurs, match is being shown on BBC America, he locks himself away to enjoy his beloved team chasing fourth place in the English Premiership. He takes an interest in most american and even canadian sports, although football (soccer) will always be his main love. He loves spending his spare time seeing the latest goofy comedy movies, designed just for purile immature laughs, just what any boy would love. He especially enjoys the movies of people like Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler and Paul Rudd. He actually was inspired to become an actor after being forced to watch 'Gone With The Wind' by his mother at a young age. He saw Clark Gable playing the rogue gentleman character of Rhett Butler and instantly wanted to be as suave and sophisticated as him. Although he is an actor, Alexander is extremely grounded and will still make time for everyone in his life, and even stop everytime he's met by a fan for a signing. He also enjoys music, his dreams of being a member of Oasis leading to guitar lessons during his teen years and now coming in handy when he is alone. He likes to use his ability to play the guitar as an easy and effective way to calm himself down and ease any stress he might be feeling.
His easy going attitude, leads many people who meet him to think he doesn't care, but nothing could be further from the truth. He gets on with most people he meets, not really liking confrontations or arguments if he can avoid them. However, when it comes to those close to him, he is anything but laid back. With the different problems his family went through during his childhood, he began to worry himself but he didn't want to show it. This meant all his worry was stored up inside of him until he finally exploded, a trait which is still with him to this day. Perhaps he worries too much about people, often acting more like a father rather than a friend. When it comes to family and friends, he will do anything for them, he will go the ends of the Earth and back if it would put a smile on their faces. His gentlemanly upbringing means he deals with people just as he'd like to be treated, with any women he dates being treated like they're Queen of the world. A true romantic, he loves to lay surprise after surprise on any woman he feels is silly enough to want to be with him.

history evaluated. Alexander Theodore Jackson was born on the fourteenth of december nineteen eighty-five in london, england to an already blossoming family. He grew up in a close knit family, with aunts, uncles and grandparents all living very near their own jackson home. This was a rarity in a new generation of british living, one which seemed to push families further apart than bring them together. Even though his family was close, Alexander felt he never really knew his father during his childhood. He understood that he needed to make money for the family to eat, but for most of his young life his father was working at least two jobs, including a night shift one which kept him away from them for almost 12 hours at a time. This meant he felt more of an infinity with his mother, who taught him a lot of lessons about how to treat women, dictating that he must never do anything but treat them as if they were royalty, just like the Queen he saw every Christmas Day on the tv.
With his big brother Joseph's constant teasing of him, Alexander soon began to hate conflict and confrontation. He usually shyed away behind his mother and this caused even more teasing when she wasn't around. It wasn't until his little sister emilee was born that he began to stand up for himself more, but only because he promised his little sister when he was six that he would take care of her no matter what and he knew she needed him. This continued through into school, with Alexander getting into quite a few fights sticking up for her against any bullies that dared to come near her. His mother wasn't happy he was taking part in such things, but secretly she was proud of him and he knew it. She didn't encourage fighting at all, she always hated it, but when it came to family she knew it was important. Showing a flourishing love of the arts, Alexander was taken to almost every West End show his family could afford for birthdays and christmas presents, only helping to stoke the fire that was already burning inside of him for the arts. It wasn't until he saw Clark Gable's 'Rhett Butler' character that he finally decided, he was going to be an actor.
However, it was the death of his grandmother mammy Brook (his mother's mother) that he began to consider moving to pursue his dream. He was 19, still young and currently studying for his Performing Arts degree at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art with dreams of joining the well known Royal Shakespeare Company. But his Grandmother's last words to him were 'Never Give Up', something she had always uttered to him when he had experienced second thoughts about becoming an actor. And so, he pressed on, auditioning for everything he could possibly get and earning small spots here and there. His big break came during his last year when he was 20 at the Academy, when he was offered the part of Darren Anger in the spy show 'D.Anger', something that was based on the James Bond style character. He jumped at the chance to play him and was soon filming the series.
The series proved to be a huge hit, with the first set getting over 7.1 million viewers every night it was on. He became a local celebrity in his own town, and was soon using his success to ensure that his family got the life they always dreamed of. His fame also managed to earn him the attention of a local waitress named Emmy Simpson. The two became inseperable, seeing each other non-stop as much as possible for just over two years. He treated her as if she were an Angel sent from heaven, and to him she really was. In his eyes she was perfect, there was nothing that could possibly change his mind about her. But that fairytale soon came crashing down around him as Emmy did the unthinkable and broke up with him. She claimed it was due to his work schedule, with the two seeing less of each other as the third series of D.Anger picked up pace. Distraught, Alexander soon turned to the one thing he had never thought he would feel the need to get addicted to...alcohol. He acquired a serious drinking problem, and along with his deep and crippling depression, he was soon 'let go' from 'D.Anger' with a new actor soon replacing him.
Now 23 years old, he decided it was now or never. He needed a fresh start, he had to get away from his city before he went crazy. Everything he saw reminded him of Emmy and that was too much for him. He was finally getting over her, his drinking problem was fading away thanks to the help of his caring mother and sister. He said his hard goodbyes and was soon on a plane to New York where he used some of the money from 'D.Anger' to set up residence and try to find work...he's been trying ever since.

roleplay sample.Here he was, back in Seattle, following his tiring travelling to and from Aspen. Of course being a pilot had its perks, but it also had its down sides as well. He had got to spend a few hours here and there after each trip in Aspen and had only one thing on his mind when he had walked into the small shopping district near the airport.
Many people may have given an odd look to a twenty four year old man strolling through the aisles of a toy store, especially since he appeared to be alone. But he didn't care, he had done it a few times before in different cities that he had visited, but thankfully not looking for anything for himself. And no, he wasn't some kind of horrible child molester, looking for a new toy to lure his next victim in with. He was actually in the toy store looking for something for the daughter of, not only a co-worker, but a friend.
Annabelle Marie Harrington was a stewardess he had befriended during a flight across the country about three and a half years ago. It started off with a small joke, but with some time to kill, the two spent some time talking after landing. The rest of the crew that watched them carefully, automatically assumed that something sexual was going on. They jumped to the conclusion that both were cheating on their respective partners with each other, making them the number one piece of gossip on everyone's lips. However, when they had started talking their banter wasn't that of two lovers, but rather more like siblings. They teased each other, they joked about their lives, and yet their bond had instantly been formed together.
Over the coming years, Alexander and Annabelle had been through a lot. With his alcohol dependency after his break up causing Alexander to almost lose his job, it was Annabelle's help at work that managed to persuade him to eventually accept the help that was being offered to him. And now Annabelle was a single mother, her daughter's father had disappeared, but that topic was rarely discussed. Alexander knew how tender a subject it was, and so he did everything he could to tip toe around it. But with no father in the picture, he couldn't sit back and watch as one of his best friends brought up their child on their own. So, without stepping on too many toes, he adopted the role of a male figure in her daughter's life, which also allowed him to be able to check up on his 'adopted' little sister as often as possible.
Now, after another long trip, he had made his way home. And after a good shower and a cup of coffee, he drove straight to her home. Parking his neglected car outside her apartment block, he undid his seatbelt before leaning over to the passenger seat. He had brought the present he had picked out specially for his little princess, even if she wasn't really his.
Setting it firmly on his lap, he was quick to reach across and grab the special card he had bought for her too. On the front was three disney princesses, the pink sparkly background making them stand out even more. Picking up the pen that he kept in the second cupholder for emergencies, he was quick to scrawl a loving message on the inside. To Violet, The prettiest princess of all, hope you enjoy these special gifts for a special girl, from uncle alex x Aimlessly throwing the pen down once more, he slipped the card into the envelope and slipped it inside the gift on his lap. Grabbing the small paper bag beside him, he attempted to juggle it, the present and the cup of coffee he had grabbed for Annabelle whilst trying to get out of the car.
Somehow, he managed to escape without anything dropping. Thankful that he had already grabbed his keys, he attempted to somehow press the button to lock them. After a few failed tries, one of which almost resulted in him falling over, he saw the lights flash and heard the click. Breathing a sigh of relief, he quickly turned and made his way towards the entrance to the building, whistling along to the last song he had heard in his car. Spotting someone making their way out, he saw his chance to get inside without Annabelle knowing he was coming, a chance he knew he had to take just to surprise her. Thanking the person as they held the door open for him, he was soon making his way to the lift. Pausing as he thought about pressing the button, he had to examine the pile of things in his hands. There was no way he would be able to press that button, so there was only one option, the stairs.
Climbing up the last flight, he felt a little out of breath. Perhaps it was time to wipe the dust off that gym membership card and get back to working out. Stopping outside her door, he realised he had no way of knocking it, except with his foot or his head. Fortunately, he had remembered a bad experience he'd had once knocking a door with his foot, the feeling of humiliation flooding back to him as he had watched his foot fly right through it. So, option B it was. Leaning his head forward, he headbutted the door a couple of times loudly, before regretting it. This was a headache that might take a while to go away, not to mention the braincells he had lost doing it, and those he couldn't afford to get rid of! But if he got to see a smile on little Violet's face, then it would all be worth while.
