Personality: He has a very...restrained personality, claims his cousin, from his mother's sister. Alex is really just - Alex. Sometimes he's a good guy, other times he'll give into the pressure, or just needs to break the rules sometimes and go out and do something - usually - stupid. Fortunately his teleportation usually keeps him out of it. Alex is disciplined though from having been doing karate since he was 6 in Bordeaux, France with his cousin, who is only about a year older than him. His discipline only goes so far though, and sometimes he'll break free of it, and go ahead and help himself to things such as well - breaking the rules as stated before. Onto some more about him though.

He's a momma's boy. Well - for the most part. He and his mother grew up living together, her raising him, since his father was never a part of his life. Alex has a close bond with his mother, and got to deal with all the girlfriend and puberty with her. Therefore, he's quite loyal to all his friends, and though he doesn't like pink, he is into sports, but he isn't a complete jerk about it. Alex tends to spoil his friends, though usually his girlfriends, trips to Paris - since he knows the place. Alex is quite the ladies' man, though once he gets someone he likes, he focuses only on the girl. The type of guy he is, he will make sure others are all right, though if he doesn't like the person - even just a little bit, he tends to not care, and will just deal with it, let them suffer. He can sometimes have a guilty conscience, but most of the time he can smother it so he won't feel too bad.

Alex is very...outgoing. He likes talking, and is able to carry on a conversation easily. Personally - he talks a lot when he gets nervous, but then will sometimes slip into French without realizing it. He isn't nervous to start randomly doing something in public, except for flashing his powers, but most of the time if it's just to shout a name to get someone's attention, he won't mind doing it. Making friends is easy for him, so is keeping them.

-- HOW MY WORLD HAS CHANGED WHEN I LOOK AROUND

[/b][/color] Bordeaux, France
Parents: Kate LaRue, 36, manager at a diner in Texas
Lucas Michaels, 40, unknown
Siblings: none
Pets: Zoey & Victor, 3 & 3.5 years, cousins, Rough Collies (Zoey on left, Victor on right)
Biography:
Alexandre has the luck of having dual-citizenship between the USA and France, since his father is from the States and his mother from France, therefore when the child was born, they had him under dual-citizenship, so he can go between the countries easier than most. Either way, Kate was only about 18 when she got pregnant with Alexandre in her hometown of France, though this came as a huge surprise, her parents didn't really like the fact their third child would be having a baby before their other two, but they still helped her, while she remained in her senior year of school before heading to a college. Her boyfriend, Lucas was 22 and in college, studying in France at that time from Boston University in the States. The moment he learned that Kate was pregnant, he deleted her number from his phone, and refused to speak to her ever again, blaming her for getting pregnant, wanting to trap him into marrying her. He would have none of that. Kate, outraged filed a court date to get child support from him, which she - fortunately got. Her parents were thrilled, and soon, her due date arrived, just about three weeks before graduation.

Alexandre Gabriel LaRue was born in May, right at the end of spring and the beginning of summer. Kate sent a photo of her baby to Lucas in the States, and her parents and family there welcomed the infant with open arms, quite thrilled he was healthy. Course, with Kate and her powers, she was antsy to know about if he would have powers or not. Well - she'd cross that bridge when they came to it. Right now, she finished up high school, and her mother, Jasmine brought Alex to see his mother graduate. He - of course doesn't remember this occasion, but soon afterwards as Kate headed to college, her mother decided to stay home to take care of Alexandre. He was exposed to French up until he was about 5, when his mother decided to teach him some English. (He still has problems with it when he gets really nervous he slips into French)

Kate got her Associate's degree in Business Management, and then, Lucas contacted her when Alexandre was three, and she was 21, living with her parents while she attended college there in France. Lucas wanted them to live with him. No, Kate refused, she was just fine, and Alexandre was being raised with a loving family, and wonderful cousins. He of course didn't know this, he was just perfectly content with his mother, who was always there for him, except for some hours during the days when she had to go to class, but when that happened, he was always with his grandmother or grandfather. His childhood was pretty good, with his mother in college, Alex had plenty of time to explore and also - attend school. By the time he was 6, he was picking up karate, and picked it up pretty well. He'd come home after school and they'd head out, his mother taking him, staying to watch, and driving him home every other night for years. Alexandre loved doing karate, and when he was 9, his mother and he moved out of her parents' house and into an apartment. That didn't last too long, while she worked a lot, Alexandre remained in school, absorbing everything he could, until his mother showed him her powers.

She could make people forget things, that's how she stole money sometimes, robbing a bank, and making the people around her forget her face if there were no cameras involved. Alex didn't know about that, he just knew her power, and was jealous. She reassured him though, he would have powers once he got older. Trusting her, Alex followed what she asked, and stayed in school, getting all As and Bs in all his classes. Course, by the time he was 13, while his childhood behind him, Alex grew up rather fast, taking care of the apartment since his mother worked a lot to support them easily, as well as these checks they received every month, from whom, Alex didn't know - not until when he was 16, and Lucas contacted him.

By that time, his powers had manifested, and he was taking his mother every place she had ever wanted to go when she didn't need to work. Perfecting on where he wanted to go, Alex soon moved with his mother to Texas when he was 14, using his power sometimes to help them out with moving stuff. That's when Tatum sent for him, and Alex moved here, receiving two puppies when he arrived here from his mother, Zoey and Victor. Thrilled, he cared for them, and still happily does. Course, when his father contacted him and they met here, Alex wasn't too thrilled to learn about his father, but he respected him - to his face at least. Alex remains loyal to his mother, she did raise him after all, through puberty and everything. Now, he still does karate, and speaks French sometimes, though some huge English words lose him - only rarely though.
