Description:
Alex is what most people think of when they think of an alternative or punk rocker. With his black and blond hair, gauged ears, lip piercings, and "don't fuck with me" attitude. Alex has always been judged by his appearance, and doesn't appreciate it. He says its his own style, and that no one needs to judge him because of it. He'll usually wear whatever is clean, whether that is a pair of skinny jeans and an old tee shirt, or whatever. He'd much rather spend his entire life in leather pants.
He started playing the drums when he was younger, before The Accident that changed his life forever. Alex continued to play because it helped him with all of the emotions that were built up from years and years of abuse and emotional problems.
But, he really isn't that bad of a guy.
He's not heavy built, or tall, no, he's pretty average.
With a style and an attitude that makes up for it all.

Personality:
Alex is spontaneous, and excitable. He's enegetic and likeable. Sometimes his friends refer to him as the Energizer Bunny because of his extreme hyperness. Alex is the type of person that everyone likes to be friends with, and that wants to be friends with everyone. He isn't in to hate, and would much rather see the good in every person than the bad in one.
Thats all on the outside.
On the inside, Alex is a ball of emotional stress. Fury. Angst. Hurt. He's never forgiven himself for not going with his parents on that rainy night to his sister's volleyball game. On the inside, Alex aches because he continues to blame himself for everything thats happened during his short life.
He believes the only reason he's still alive is because he felt the need to protect his sister. He says he would've killed himself if it wasn't for her.

Family History:
He could've been perfect. He could've been the all-star football player his dad always wanted.
Alex was born to Angela and Michael Karriger on June 16, 1988. He was their pride and joy. He was perfect, blond hair, bring, curious blue eyes. He was raised to be grateful for every little thing, no matter how rich they were. Angela was a lawyer, and Michael was a heart surgeon, so the family's income was high. Two years later, in 1990, the Karriger family was blessed with a bouncing baby girl. She, of course, was perfect in every way, also. They named her Penelope Marie, as she grew, she was the beauty queen, the girl everyone wanted to be friends with and every boy wanted at their side. She lived up to her expectations.
Alex, not so much.
When Alex was 16, his sister only 14, she had a junior high volleyball game. Alex was far too busy chatting and hanging with his jock best friends to be worried about his sister's game. So, in the blinding rain, his parents went to see their daughter play.
They never made it to the game.
After their deaths, Alex and Penelope were sent to an orphanage, they had no family other than their parents. The disheveled teens were adopted quckly--an odd occurance. They were adopted by Lillan and Louis Marx, who had a daughter three years younger than Penelope.
Alex became reculse and never spoke to anyone. Penelope pulled him from that darkness, and he eventually became the go-getter trend-setter he is today.
Band History:
This band hails from Madison, Wisconsin. They’ve been together for three years now. Except for the drummer. The band’s former drummer was the former boyfriend of the lead singer. The relationship ended badly and resulted in his leaving the group. Alex has been accepted quickly, though, and fits right in with the group. They like to make a big scene. They’ve been told they sound a bit like Paramore, Hey Monday, or Flyleaf. After their former drummer leaving, and Alex taking his place, the band seemed to be a bit of a mess, once they accepted him, they were back on their feet, playing like they all love to.
