Why/Biography: Alec grew up with a wizard father and a muggle mother in England. His father worked for the Ministry as an Auror, and his mother, being a muggle, worked for a muggle company as Secretary of the CEO. They made good money - wizarding and muggle - and were well off in both worlds. Alec grew up as the middle of three. He had a twin, Darien, and a younger sister, Piper. They were very close, and they were hardly separated. You rarely saw one without the other, and Darien and Alec were very protective of their sister. They were even skeptical about her friends, which she pretended to be annoyed at, but really, she was pleased that they cared about her so much.
Darien and Alec were four when Piper was born, and they helped their mother take care of her. Darien and Alec were wizards, and Piper was a witch. Their parents were pleased, as none of their children were muggles or squibs. It was a great start to what seemed to be a near-perfect life. So Darien and Alec watched over Piper as she grew, teaching her everything they new and helping her out to learn more, or to sneak things out of the kitchen at night. They all didn't believe in the 'no food after bedtime' theory, but rather, they always snuck out of bed to get a cookie or some ice cream. Their parents knew, but they didn't say anything. They were too happy that everything was going great right now. Alec's mother, Alexis, had just gotten a very large raise. His father, Drake, had just got promoted to Head of the Aurors.
When Darien and Alec were ten, their sister, Piper, got into some trouble with some neighborhood kids. They lived in a wizarding village, so they were all wizards, but not all were pure bloods. Some had married muggles, like Darien's father, and others were squibs living among the world that they were used to. Piper had gotten caught up in a fight with two older wizards, who were in their first year of wizarding school, and they were trying to hex her when Alec and Darien knocked the both of them down. They taught them a lesson with their fists, and no one ever messed with Piper or the twins again. This went on until the twins left for school, at which point Piper stayed in the house, afraid they would hex her again. She waited for her brothers to return from school so she wouldn't be alone anymore.
When they returned, Piper was overjoyed. They played together all summer long until they left again for their next year. Things continued the same way until they were in their fifth year, when Piper came to their school. They attended Hogwarts, as they were closest to it, and it was a great school. Darien's favorite class was Care of Magical Creatures and Defense against the Dark Arts. Alec's favorite class was Potions and Charms. Piper's favorite class was Transfiguration and Ancient Runes. They helped each other in their worst subjects, and they passed their classes with flying colors. All three were in Ravenclaw, and it suited them rather well. It had taken the Sorting Hat quite a while to decide, as it was debating between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, but it settled on Ravenclaw for all of them.
Alec's school years passed quickly. He got top marks on his O.W.L.s, and the same happened on his N.E.W.T.s two years later. He decided to pursue a career as an Auror for the Ministry of Magic. Darien passed with top marks as well in both O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s, though he pursued a career of teaching Care of Magical Creatures, so he began to travel to learn first-hand how to deal with magical creatures. When Piper's time came, she received top marks, and she pursued a career in teaching as well, though she wished to teach Transfiguration. She was an Animagus, and she got a job at a small school in Scotland. She moved there, and Darien was left alone to travel and learn about his chosen career. He went to many places. He was in Romania for the longest, learning how to care for dragons, his favorite creatures of all.
Soon, he met up with his sister and brother, and they had a nice little reunion. Their parents had died years before. Their mother had died of cancer, and their father had been killed on the job by a Death Eater. They had gotten past this, and still they were happy as can be. Darien believed their parents were in Heaven now, resting and safe. Alec and Piper agreed, and it made it seem easier for them to move on. So Alec moved up in the Auror ranks, and Piper had been offered a job at a larger school in Scotland. She accepted, and Darien set off to look for a job. He set his sights on France, having enjoyed his time there. He had turned down a job offer to remain in Romania and work with the dragons, wanting to pursue his dream career. Alec, on the other hand, also enjoyed Charms. He was sent to Beauxbatons to secure the Charms position there, as a defence for the school in case the Death Eaters struck.

Personality: Alec is a very laid-back guy. He is a gentleman in every way, and he is very sweet to the ladies. He is the kind of guy who will just sit down and talk to you, no matter who you are or how long he's known you. You could be some random person off the street, and he couldn't care. He's that great of a guy, but he's not foolish. He is cautious. If you seem like a shady character, he will stay away from you and watch you for a while before he makes any decision. He thinks before he speaks and acts, unless it is in the heat of battle, in which case he uses his instincts, which are very good, and common sense.
Alec is a very brave guy. He won't hesitate to leap to someone's defense, even if he's outnumbered. It came with the training to put others' lives before your own, and that's one sacrifice he's willing to make to save lives. He is prepared to lose his own, so long as the other is saved. He is a very intelligent guy, tending to prefer to have intellectual conversations than conversations about the weather or shoes or something. He has a very long attention span, and he is a very patient person. He has no problem with waiting on something if it's worth it.
Physical Appearance: Alec is tall, standing at 6'2". He weighs 168 lbs, and he is in excellent shape. He has no body fat on his entire body, and he is very well muscled. He has a six-pack, and his arm muscles are larger than most, though they aren't disgustingly so. They are just enough to make him stronger and to make people give a second thought to if they want to mess with him or not. He is well-tanned, though he isn't super dark. His hair is a light brown in color with blonde highlights, making it seem more blonde than anything. His eyes are a gorgeous shade of blue.
Alec tends to dress down. He will wear tighter t-shirts in various colors and with various designs. He will wear jeans of different shades of blue, some faded in places. He wears boots a lot, but they look good on him. He also wears a light blue jean jacket over his t-shirts a lot of the time. The sleeves will usually be rolled up to the elbow. He also wears a black jacket in the same way. He has bracelets on his right hand, and he has a tattoo on his left forearm, stretching the entire length. He has a tattooed bracelet on his right wrist as well. His hair comes to about his shoulders in layers and flips out at the ends. It suits him very well, though. His ears are pierced, holding a small silver hoop in each.
Other: Alec will go by Alec to his friends. He goes by Professor Edwards to his students.
Role-Play Sample: I play Aimee Reynolds. I couldn't resist, Katie! xD
