NAME. Alex Summers
CANON. X-Men: First Class
OOC PREFERENCES.
IC CHARACTERISTICS.
IC PERMISSIONS.
CANON. X-Men: First Class
OOC PREFERENCES.
→ CONTACT: My plurk (porphyrogene) is always open for friendage, or PMs work too!
→ FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: Qualified yes. I am not a huge fan of fourth-walling in general and Havok is not a main enough character in comics that I think it would be necessary to fourth wall him in that way. PM me if you think it would be really OOC for your character not to fourth wall him, and we'll work something out. Canon puncture from movieverse or any comicsverse is fine with me.
→ BACKTAGGING: Hell yes!
→ THREADJACKING: Fuck yeah!
→ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Sexual assault/abuse and rape are difficult subjects for me OOCly. Please PM me if you think they are going to come up.
→ PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUND: She/her/hers is fine!
IC CHARACTERISTICS.
→ CURRENT CANON POINT: Post-canon.
→ PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: A young man of medium height, short blond hair, well-built. He will be wearing his containment suit around, but it's pretty dorky-looking so sweatshirts over top are the way to go. Last Voyages Only: Alex's containment suit has been improved repeatedly by Bruce Wayne. Same terrible color scheme, but much sleeker and with more control.
→ DEMEANOR: Most of the time Alex has the mad swag of a typical young adult male. He tends to smile and joke a lot, although his jokes are not always nice. However, he doesn't tend to get physically close to people he's not sure can defend themselves because he's still nervous about his power. And when he's serious, he's have-you-ever-smiled-in-your-life serious.
→ ABILITIES: Plasma blasts from absorbed cosmic energy, hence containment suit. He is also implicitly (based on 616!Havok's power set) immune to most dangers from radiation and extreme heat.
→ MEDICAL INFORMATION: Nothing unusual.
→ CABIN INFORMATION: 6-02. Alex's room is an exact replica of his room at Charles Xavier's mansion. It's medium-sized and airy, with off-white walls, expensive furniture, and a view of expansive grounds outside the window. There are a couple of pictures of him and his shitty roommates on his dresser, and a small record player in a box tucked under his bed. The room's usually fairly messy, although he doesn't have that many belongings, so it could be worse.
→ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Talking about ~mutant rights~ tends to rile him, but so will basically every aspect of the dang prison ship, so you know. Go nuts.
IC PERMISSIONS.
→ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: He'll be extremely standoffish for the most part and might get violent, depending on who he's getting affection from.
→ MENTAL: PM me first, but I think this would be interesting. He's definitely used to it.
→ MIMICRY: Go for it! But PM me.
→ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Absolutely.
→ PSYCHOLOGICAL VIOLENCE: Do it. PM me about the triggers I mentioned above or if it will have long-term effects, but otherwise let's go nuts.
→ MAGIC: PM me!
→ DEBATE: Go for it!
→ CHARACTER DEATH: PM me, but probably!
hmd «tlv/etc»
Got crit for Alex ICly or me OOCly? Go for it! I'm especially interested in crit on his speech patterns, because how do 60s talking in the context of First Class. All comments screened. ♥

32. » spam & voice, backdated to yesterday
[. . . before the ominous Admiral message.]
So I'm leaving.
[He's leaving for good, and this is voice, not video, for a reason. It's not that he doesn't want to look people in the eye, it's just that he doesn't want them to see how guilty he feels, even now, to be leaving this place behind.]
[Not as bad as he expected, though. Not as bad as it would have been a few months ago. Charles was right: there is a time and a place to take your life back for your own.]
I don't really have anything much to say besides - goodbye, and thanks. To everyone, even the people I never really knew, for making this place livable. Making it home for a while. It'd be hell here without you.
Don't screw each other up too bad.
( no sickness in that bright land to which i go )
( ooc; if anyone would like to spam off this post, alex will be in his cabin [6-02] and/or pretty much wherever you want for goodbyes ♥ )

Hello. My name is Alex.
[And I am not afraid of you. Not said, but implicit in his voice if you know him, if you know what to look for. Not many people do.]
[He doesn't give his designation, 605. Other days he has. The fact that he doesn't provide this information is also an indication as to his mood - if you know to look for it.]
I'll be teaching close-combat fighting techniques this evening on deck, starting at 5 PM. This is in case any of you don't know how to fight something better than human. [Not arrogance: simple face. He isn't proud, he's just being accurate.]
[He hesitates, then, for an infinitesimal moment, before continuing, his tone unchanged, starched, pressed, unafraid, and something else:]
Those of you who are new, or out of practice, or have been recently injured are especially welcome. It's important to stay sharp.
[A warning. Half a threat.]
It's a responsibility to be prepared.
[Because if there's one weak link among them, they'll all come crashing down at the next calamity. Alex doesn't think he could withstand one more disaster.]
[But of course he could. That's what he was made for.]
( ooc; alex is a transgenic from dark angel, and he can do all this stuff. comments will be coming from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

[Since the other Barge, Alex has been quiet. A lot of the anger he was feeling in the last few months has gone, or at least - more likely - been suppressed. He let out too much anger when he was there, and it probably still counts. Probably.]
[With Aeryn graduated - which he doesn't make an announcement about; it was her business to say goodbye to people, if she wanted to - he's quieter still. His habits become almost pathological. In the morning he runs in the CES. During the day, he spends time in the gym, maybe too much, and visits Ben in the kitchens.]
[And then, on a whim, he starts visiting the gardens. They remind him of Snow. Lately, idly, he's been thinking of visiting her. Seeing the forest she talked about.]
[The gardens are the place where he smiles most, at nothing in particular that's outside of his head.]

[He has to knock on her door with an elbow, because his hands are full. Full of bowls and plates haphazardly covered with tinfoil. It actually smells good, although he's dead certain he fucked something up. He's never cooked, properly cooked, without her before.]
[But at least he didn't set anything on fire.]
spam } ben
[Alex is pretty sure that most people, on meeting him, would never suspect he's got the problem of thinking too much. Maybe the opposite. He knows he's no genius, especially compared with some of the people on board, and a lot of times he lets his heart do his thinking instead of his brain.]
[But in terms of ruminating, perseverating, worrying, he does that plenty. And this is something he's thought about for maybe too long. Maybe he should have done it before. But things just kept coming up.]
[There won't be a perfect time to ask a favor this big. He's tried to resign himself to that, but it'd be a lie to say he's not nervous as he knocks on Ben's door.]

spam } barge, day 1
[He died. He was alone. He was in the dark. There was not much air because the heat of his passage strangled it out, and then there was nothing, because his head was cut off by . . . something. Some monster.]
[Some man.]
[Marsh.]
[He remembers the way his body tried to keep breathing, even though it absolutely couldn't. And he remembers waking up, as alone in life-after-death as he was in death. More alone. Erik is gone. Charles is gone.]
[He trembles when no one is around, feeling hemmed in by the airless levels and the close quarters. But when people are nearby, he acts bigger than he is, a cornered animal reminding other animals that he is still more dangerous than them. Look at him sideways, stand too close to him, and he'll lash out with his fists or his powers. There's madness in his eyes and a scar on his neck, and he is alone, alone, alone.]

Fuck loyalty. Nobody's loyal.
spam } port, remainder
[Now it's too open. He is practically agoraphobic after the close quarters of the broken-down Barge; it's too bright out here, and the people look at him with suspicion as he looks at them with fear and aggression.]
[It won't be long before he tries to pick a fight with someone he shouldn't on the ground, but before that his fear will get the best of him. He'll stick close to the few people he still knows and trusts. Everyone else will be attacked, no questions asked - maybe a couple answered.]

What do you do about alternate worlds?
I mean, I get that . . . that's a really broad question. I know that. But there are people here who know about me from comic books, and they say, you know, I've done all these things that I can't imagine myself doing. That I love all these people I can't imagine knowing, much less loving.
I don't know. It never bothered me before, but now I can't stop thinking about it. I can't block it out. So what do I do with it?

[Here, Barge; have some screaming. Then some panicked hyperventilating.]
I'm looking for Bruce Wayne. He's not in his cabin, I've checked everywhere - has anyone seen him?
I'm - Alex Summers, for new people, I guess, if you see him, he's my inmate, I need to make sure he didn't get sent to Zero--

[He slams the feed off when he realizes he can't continue to form words. He's too scared, too tired, and most importantly too closed in. He can't keep looking. He has to find the sky.]
[A few minutes later, he's on deck, leaning over the real and breathing deeply and slowly through his nose. It feels like years since he's had the space to move around, even though it's really just been days. He's numb head to foot, adrenaline draining from his system. All he wants to do is sleep.]
[He can't sleep. He can't do anything.]
[Fuck.]

[See Alex. See Alex at the skating rink, with all necessary hockey accoutrements, just finishing up playing some solo hockey. Badly. The communicator appears to be resting on the wall of the rink; he waves at it pretty vigorously, his breath hanging in the air.]
Hey! So as some of you know - some of you new people, I guess, maybe don't - we have a skating rink. I have the keys and everything, but as long as you don't stab anyone with skates you're welcome. And we've been talking about having a serious hockey tournament for ages, so - here's phase one: try to beat me into the ice. Because seriously, it's the only way I'll learn.
Or come out and do some one-on-one, whatever you want. I'll be out here all afternoon.

[And he is - out on the ice for the rest of the morning and into early afternoon, until he has to run to cover Ben's kitchen shift. He's been doing this more frequently lately than usual because Ben's been sick, but even now he's not the best at it. Kitchen work doesn't come naturally to him, but at least he follows direction well.]
[Immediately after lunch, he takes a walk in the CES, then attacks the CTS full force. The simulation it provides is terrifying in its sterility: robots twice his height, slow-moving but determined to capture rather thn terminate. His endeavor is to dismantle rather than destroy - a finesse exercise.]
[He leaves the CTS a smoking ruin. He's not much for finesse these days.]

[Alex spends the time he's not spending with his people at the ice rink right now. It's a good way to let off some steam and get his body back into working order without just hitting the gym. He's also finding he's getting better than he was - less falling, fewer near-wipeouts. It's nice.]
[And eventually it gets kind of zen, just sliding around the ice in circles, not thinking about much at all. Quiet, but not quiet. Sometimes he smiles at nothing, just because he can.]

infirmary } wednesday night-thursday morning
[He wakes up quickly but smoothly. This time, he doesn't scream. He knows where he is, he knows more or less what's happened, he knows he died, beyond just the fact that he can feel it in his bones. Royce's face is clear in his mind, although he still doesn't know the man's name. He will, soon enough.]
[Even though he doesn't want to stay in the infirmary, he will, less for his own sake than for the sake of the people who are worried about him. He'll rest, until he can't take being there anymore.]
cabin 6-02 } thursday-saturday
[And then he flees, back to his room, which is more private, more comfortable, less of a hospital. He stays there, wracked with pain but grudgingly allowing visitors. He can be found on the way to and from Zero on Friday, when he goes to visit Royce. Other than that, he sleeps, or tries to figure out why what happened did.]
out & about } sunday
[He should probably still be in bed on Sunday, but he can't take the confined space of his room anymore. Instead of his usual run in the CES, he takes an early-morning walk, slow and a little pained, but mostly steady. He visits the kitchens and takes a slow lunch, his shoulders hunched against an uncomfortable feeling of vulnerability. Other than that, he spends some time on the deck, trying to work off his excess nervous energy.]
