Alexandra Ruby Patterson

[Alexandra Patterson]

The Basics

Name: Alexandra Ruby Patterson
Nicknames: Alex, Ali, Ruby, “the one girl with the crazy hair”, Barbie, and sometimes Gemini by anyone who knows of her powers.
Age: 18. Birthday is July 21st. She a senior though because she got held back in Middle school.

Orientation: Bisexual
Desired Rank/Job: Student
Powers:
Alex has the power of duplication. She has the ability to duplicate herself but can only make about five copies. The more she makes the more energy and stamina is taken from and put it the copies. When she runs out of energy they will come back to her and their memories and whatever skills/information they learned will become hers. This sometimes it makes her confused on rather she experienced it or it was just her clone. If one of her clones experience some pain while out she will feel it on her own body and if the clone gets a scar or bruise it will appear on her own body after summing it back. The only exception is if a clone dies she will not also die. It will just disappear. Alex will however feel whatever pain it felt when it died and might become very sick for a while.

Sometimes depending on what her clones experience while out it can change the clone’s personality. It will affect the clones the same it will affect her if she was in the situation but when it returns she won’t be changed. Furthermore if she feeling some strong emotion while creating a clone it will act purely on that emotion. Example if she really mad and creates one the clone will just be a reflection of her angry and only her angry. This makes it hard to control clones like that because most of that time they will be out on their own mission to whatever was bothering her is over or satisfied by the clone. This can make it even harder to summon them back. Sometimes it’s already hard anyway and leaves her with extremely painful headaches.
If she not fully rested while she using her powers her copies can come out disfigured or not be their all the way mentally. She also gets very fatigue when using her powers.

General Appearance:
Alex has a look where when she walks in the room you're going to notice her. She mixed with white and Indian from her grandmamma side and black from her grandpa side giving her a very unique look. Alex is about 5'6 with light skin that turns a bit brown when she out in the sun for a while. She has a nice shape which after years of teasing from when she used to be on the heavier side she takes pride of and works hard to maintain. She has a slender stomach, size 36C chest, a small waist, average but, and thick thighs. Her hair is naturally black and wavy going a down to her chest. She has hazel eyes and a crooked smile which is probably the only thing appearance wise she hates about herself. She will always smile with her mouth close but sometimes if she really happy or you get her to laugh she won't think about it.

Her style is very Hot Topic meets PacSun meets Forever 21. She loves fashion and clothes and constantly trying new style. Though whatever she has on is probably form fitting. Alex loves her new shape and shows it off whenever she gets the chance


Personality: She is like your typical storybook rich head cheerleader mix with a hardcore rock star party girl. She is popular and well-known because she a social butterfly making her know pretty much everyone. She nice when she wants to be but can be a bully when she in a bad mood or you're just rubbing her the wrong way. Alex is known to have a way with words though she won't do it to hurt anyone. She is a bit of a control freak because when a situation is out of her control it makes her uncomfortable. So she likes just having options as opposed to none. She can sit back and let things go with the flow but just like knowing if she wants she has choices. A bit of a gold-digger but she describes it as "being an opportunist'. She mostly hangs with people who can benefit her in some way. Be it financially or just someone she can always just have a good time with. She talks to a lot of people but only have a few in her circle she really trust. But she tries to make everyone feel like her best friend especially if she wants something from you. She a bit nosy and likes finding out the latest gossip and secrets about people though she very closed off herself. She likes to be in the know of everyone but likes to keep her private life... well private and is known to snap or push away people who probe too much. She good at finding out things about people so you can bet a good eight out of ten times she going to find out what she wants to know. It's all like putting together a puzzle for her and she loves putting her private investigating skills to the test just for fun. She can keep a secret though and doesn't spread gossip. She doesn't collect them to really use against people. It just some people have rock collection, Alex has a secrets collection.


Alex is flirty with a lot of people but she never wants an official relationship even though she likes to do all the things that come a long with a relationship like dates just without all the emotions involved. She was hurt a lot physically and emotionally in the past rather it was her mother or even her mom’s boyfriend. Her solution is to keep a lot of people at arm’s length though a few friends have slip through the cracks. If you're one of those people who have she will treat you like family rather than a friend and will be fiercely loyal. She will always have your back and won't hesitate to defend you if necessary. She will always look out for your best interest and make sure you’re ok even if she isn't herself. Her friends come first even if it causes her to miss out on something she really wants to do. She also loves to spoil her friends with presents and things for no reason. If she sees something she thinks you will like or that will look good on you she will get it. She can be very thoughtful and considerate when she chose to be. If in their best interest she will always give her friends a little push. Like if they are scared to tell someone they like them she will be their wing-women or somehow trick them into talking to them or even be as bold to call said person over. Sometimes this treatment extends to people she feels sorry for like those who get picked on. She feels bad for victims of bullies because she remembers how it feels. She will stick up for them mostly if they look weak or innocent to her. They tend to get to her sensitive side faster. She also fined really innocent people to be adorable in a cute dog type way. She will look after them and try to get to know them in a nonchalant way of course. She will try and make whoever picking on them stop and make sure they don’t do it again. Though sometimes she attracts it she doesn't prefer to be in drama but she not going to ignore you if you’re doing something she doesn't like or she feels like you need to be put in your place.

Alex is a thrill seeker and loves to do anything that gives her a rush. She always up to anything she especially loves a good truth or dare game. She is always up for a challenge and refuse to back down from anything. If you do challenge her beware she is very competitive and stops at nothing to win. Making her to what she calls the dare queen. Her being competitive drives her to try to be the best at anything she wants to do. She can be fun to hang around because she always wants her and everyone she’s around to be having fun. So if things get to stale she will try and shake it up a bit. She always trying to make people laugh or feel good. She likes to make everyone have a goodtime. Rather it’s pulling pranks or she partying she just wants to have fun and make sure everyone around her is to.

To people who’s not close to Alex she seems well put together and just a little mischievous. She wants people to think she just this well put together person, a sweetheart in till provoked, and just has this good put together life. Lying to keep up the act has just been second nature. She tries her hardest to stay on the staff’s good side or just under their radar and give of this glamorous look to  other students.

History

Alex was born on July, 21st, 1996 the day she jokes and says the world became a much better day. Growing up she did not know who her dad was because her mom was sleeping around with different people. See her mother, Amethyst Patterson, was a young has-been actress who had her own hit TV show. It was cancelled a few years before Alex was born. After the show the she was still living comfortable with all the money but she was still desperate to stay in the industry. Her mom didn't go to college and acting was all she could do. She started sleeping around to get even small parts to try and find another big break. That's how she got pregnant with Alex at the age of twenty-two. So all she knows it must be someone in Hollywood who could have got her mom a part.

When her mom was at homes she was just hanging out with one of her boyfriend or auditioning leaving her alone with babysitter or whoever was her mom’s boyfriend at the moment. Some of them were ok but some of them were very mean to her once her mom left. This made her and her mom have a love hate relationship. She has always harvest feelings of hatred towards her mother for always being with her boyfriends or out auditioning and not spending enough time with her but she still had love for her because she still depended on her her whole life for pretty much everything. Plus sometimes Amethyst would be the best mother towards her (mostly the moments when her mom was single) and sometimes she would totally neglect her in the attention area. Though if you ask her mom the reason she was always out was to make sure Alex and her would always live the good life. Alex had everything she needed food and healthcare wise but her mother attention was something she could never keep. Their relationship status was constantly shifting and it didn't help when Amethyst finally found work.


Her mother finally found her big break when she Alex was eleven brought to her by her new boyfriend Keith, who also became her new manager. She replaced a character on a hit soap-opera, which left her alone with Keith sometimes when she had to go into the studio. After gaining her trust he started to touch her when her mom was gone. Though her mother doesn't know anything about this it’s is also one of the things she holds against her mother for leaving her with him. She couldn't blame her mom for knowing though because just like her mother Alex knew how to act when required. She would never let on to teacher or her mom what was going on. If she got a bruise from one of her mom’s boyfriend she would steal her mom’s makeup and cover it up. If her teacher would bring up something about home she would lie or change the subject. No one ever expected a thing because she would keep everyone in the dark and would always have a really good lie handy. Though she had her own feelings about her mother parenting she would go to lengths to protect her and make sure no else question it. On the outside they looked like they had a perfect relationship.

Now regarding her mom’s boyfriend the only thing that ended up stopping him is that her powers manifest and she end up going to Hammel. (Right now her mom and him have an on again off again relationship but as far as Alex knows they have been broken up for six months). She was alone in her room when her power manifest. (Alex didn't really have any friends because kids were always picking on her for being overweight). She already knew about Metas before her powers manifest so she was more excited than scared. Her babysitter, who she was very fond of, happened to be an old Hammel student. She was the one who ended up telling Hammel about her. A couple days later she was at Hammel.

When she first goes there she was very quiet and actually very shy until she met two people that change Alex. First was this older student named Morgan, who has been long gone from Hammel by now, who took Alex under her wing sort to speak. She was a very troubled girl with a troubled past and problems of her own but she saw a lot of herself in Alex. Alex admired Morgan because she was smart, took nothing from no one, and had a lot of guys who liked her. She always and still does look up to her wanting to be just like her, which was a bad and good thing. The girl made sure Alex got her work done, suggested that Alex start to see the counselor (which she still does), help her drop the weight, and things like that but she also had a bit of a wild side to her that introduced Alex to the world of partying and boys. With her help she became less shy and started to meet more people which is how she met the second girl. They became best friends and are still inseparably to this day.


Over the years she has broken a lot of hearts, made a few close and loyal friends here, and involved herself faithfully into a lot in Hammel clubs like cheerleading, drama, and track.

Roleplay Example

    The sun didn't even begin to come up as Madison slowly tiptoed into the kitchen doing her best not to make a sound. She had to make sure this stayed a surprise into she was done and did not want her roommates finding out. She had felt bad because she had been held up in her room since she had gotten here and didn't even try to talk to them. She had been too busy trying to get a grip on how fast everything was moving around her since that day as she referred to it as. She finally decided that she needed to pick herself up and look on the bright side. Yes it was going to be weird not waking up to her mom cooking and her dad greeting her and asking her about her dreams or even waking up for the next few years and being in the same state or even her having powers but she just had to get used to it she decided. I mean it wasn't the worst thing that could ever happen to her. Plus this could be an adventure in itself and she could meet different people from all over and make new friends. So to start off she decided she should get to know her roommates and what better way to do that then over a nice meal? Madison wasn't as good as a cook as her parents but she wasn't too bad either. She just hopped they weren't expecting any bacon because Madison didn't eat meat and she defiantly didn't cook it.


By the time she was almost done the sun had started to rise though she was not sure what time it truly was. She spread out four plates of eggs, blueberry pancakes, and hash browns on the counter. With her Mp3 player tucked away in her Pajama shorts and music blasting in her ear Madison was in her own little world as she worked on the last pancake. Suddenly Upgrade you by Beyoncé came on and she instantly forgot she was cooking as she started to sing along and dance the choreography she had been learning from a YouTube video in the living room. Madison knew she couldn't sing but she could definitely dance and the urge would sometime just take over. Besides photography it was her main passion and she always got into it.

This application is not being ignored but is pending a staff discussion. It will be reviewed shortly.

[Alexandra Patterson]

Okay take your time <3.

Hold up


Thanks for your patience! After a staff review, we have decided that some distinct changes need to be made to this application in order for it to fit into the type of game we want Hammel to be.

As a site, we are tying to cut back on the hyper-sexualized high school student population as a whole. Therefore, Alexandra's current age and sexual status is declined as a combination. Either her expression of her sexual nature needs to be toned way down, or she needs to be an older demographic (such as a college student or local) and not living on campus. If you choose the former, please make sure to remove or alter all references to her sexual behavior in the remainder of the application. In conjunction with this, the use of derogatory commentary such as calling a character a "slut" is not appropriate for an application. Please remove this from her nicknames list.

While we don't encourage or discourage varying forms of abuse on the site, all forms of child abuse must be treated with the utmost respect. I'm not asking you to remove the implied sexual abuse in her past - this is merely a reminder.

As another thing we're cutting back on overall, Alexandra's manipulative personality type will not go unnoticed by Hammel staff should you choose to keep her in the age bracket she is in. There will be severe IC consequences for her actions should she engage in blackmail, bribery, or any other kind of extortionist behavior with students, no matter what her intent is. As a further note on this, please do not use absolutes when describing the character, such as 'everyone sees her this way' or 'she always is like this with others' - it borders on powerplaying and can limit character interaction in an unproductive way.

As for her History, please flesh this out a little more. All we see is that her mother was promiscuous as an actress and that Keith abused her sexually before her manifestation. We need more information on what her early childhood was like; how she did in school, whether she had lasting friendships, how her mom treated her when she was home and not screwing around (and, if she neglected her girl constantly, why child services never came around). In addition, there is no mention of the six years she spent at Hammel between when she manifested and now. Please correct this - no one is as influential as Alexandra claims to be without making some mark on people at the school.

Finally, you describe Alexandra as being mixed-race, yet there's no knowledge of her father and no nationality/race information on her mother. Being that this is a kind of unique blend of racial traits, please give some information on her mother at least to explain this.

If you have any questions on subjects that we as staff find inappropriate, please contact Sean, Lugia, or myself via Chatango or Hammel PMs. If you have any other questions about this review, feel free to come to me directly.

Once you've made the necessary edits, please bump the app and we will review again.

[Alexandra Patterson]

Bump.

[Lugia *]

Hold on

Thanks again for your patience! This is much better. The history is much better fleshed out and we thank you for reducing Alexandra's sexualized nature. However, we still have some concerns.

1) Please reformat the application into the proper format. Just copy and paste everything here into the correct fields as you did before. Also, please proofread this application for some grammatical errors.

2) Does Alexandra have any positive traits? Is she fun to be around when she wants to be--does she have a sense of humor or does she stick up for people in need? In addition, please tone down the manipulation and problem-child aspects more in order to ensure she's not constantly under staff watch.

3) Please give the best friend a name. You can post a requested ad later, if you'd like, but for now there is no need to post "this role needs to be filled" in the application.

4) You do a good job fleshing out her history, but I still have concerns about the abuse. Why did no one notice at all, like teachers? How long, exactly, did this continue?

If you have any questions, please feel free to ping a staff member. Otherwise, bump this topic and we'll review it again! And hopefully, faster this next time.

[Alexandra Patterson]
