NAME: Frances Alexander Harding
AGE: 32
BIRTHDAY: February 19th
HEIGHT: 6'3"
EYES: Blue
HAIR: Black
MARITAL STATUS: Unwed
TITLE: N/A
CLASS: Middle class.
FAMILY: Father- Frances Harding; Mother- Mary Harding (deceased)
PERSONALITY: Alexander is broody, cynical, and quick to judge others before even speaking to them. When he's not offering some offhanded, snarky response to something, he tends to keep to himself. When he does have to appear in front of others, he has this air of arrogance about him that was instilled from a very young age, nor does he much care to try and change this currently.
FASHION: Stylish and sharp, and yet still simple and nothing too flashy. Even during his performances he does not wear gaudy colors or extravagant costumes of any kind. He likes to appear as though he's wealthier and more respectable than he really is.
BACKGROUND:
- The only son born to the famous knife thrower, Frances Sterling. He was named after his father, but personally hates the name and always went by his middle name, Alexander. Especially when he followed in his father's footsteps with knife throwing, he didn't wish to be confused with the man.
- Frances forced Alexander to take the stage name of Sterling and has been very hard him since a young age. The old thrower grew in popularity and fame and wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. However, Frances shared mostly disappointment towards him when he realized Alexander did not inherit the same metal magic that he had. Naturally that made throwing knives a lot harder.
- Still, Alexander practiced until he was, he believed, as good as his father without the aide of magic, and that wasn't such an easy feat. It didn't seem to matter because no matter what he did (and still did presently), it wouldn't make Frances offer the praise his son deserved.
- Frances stopped performing when he nearly killed a girl during an act. The nerves in his hands had caused him to begin twitching uncontrollably, although he continuously denied it. He claimed to have retired to give his son "a chance at the family business", something he expected him to live up to and perhaps even surpass one day. Yet the old man's ego was far bigger than his own, so Alexander can't help but think it's simply him goading him on.
- His father's lack of love and acknowledgement has turned Alexander into a broody individual who couldn't care less about another human being unless it benefitted him. His mother had been the last person he truly cared about, and she died when he was twenty years old from pneumonia.
- Although growing up he claimed he wouldn't become like his father, the fame his skills have brought him have certainly made Alexander full of himself. He relies on no one but himself.
- Can be a bit of a womanizer, and has run off a few of his assistants with his uncaring and snarky attitude.
- He has been known to throw more than just knives and has been searching for ways to really improve his show's quality.
