Crimson Justice 0 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 (edited) General Full name: Alexandre Holcroft Nickname: Alex, Lex. Age: 24 Gender: Male Race: Natural Occupation: Pilot Birthplace: Copernicus City Citizenship: French Personality: Usually somewhat aloof, though he enjoys talking to people. Approaching Alex is usually something of a challenge, as he tends to spend much of his time with his nose in a book. However, the people who know him will tell you he is steadfast, quick to laugh and quicker still to help out his friends, of which Alex has only a few, but which are extremely important to him. If you catch him on one of his rare bad days, however, he is cynical, irritable, and short-tempered. However, even on his worst days, Alex is never rude if he can help it. Raised bilingual and living in a primarily English-speaking society, Alex only swears in French. Appearance Height: 6ft2in Weight: 165lbs Hair Colour and Style: Black, combed to the right - bangs partly cover the top of the right eye. Eye Colour: Amber Identifying Marks: Alex wears slender, black-framed glasses, and has a small scar just below the hairline on the right side - usually hidden underneath his hair. Skin Tone: Caucasian Build: Fairly slender, but well-toned. Clothing: Usually wears bluejeans or slacks(black or beige). His shirt is generally blue, red, or white, and he usually wears a leather jacket(brown or black). He wears a black wristband on his right wrist, and a heavy black wristwatch on the left. Handiness: Right-handed Background Mother: Augustine Holcroft (Maiden Name: Loussier) - Deceased Father: Richard Michael Holcroft Siblings: None Wife/Girlfriend: Alex is currently romantically involved with Naomi Nishikawa, whom he met in High School. Naomi is currently enrolled in Medical School. Personal History: Alexandre Holcroft was born of a British father and French mother in the neutral lunar city of Copernicus in late C.E. 61. Raised on the moon in a bilingual household, Alex is fluent in both languages. Richard Michael Holcroft, Alex's father, is descended from an old British military family, though he himself was never a soldier. Despite having spent most of his life, since the death of his own father in C.E. 52, on Copernicus City, he remains the proprietor of a small estate in Cornwall. Rather than enlisting in the British Royal Navy, Richard Holcroft went instead into politics. Now Sixty-three years old and retired, he is living on his family's property in England. Augustine Loussier was a French-born novelist living in Copernicus City when she met Richard Holcroft in C.E. 49. They were married after six years, and after a miscarriage in C.E. 58, she gave birth to what was to be her only child in C.E. 61. She later contracted pulmonary tuberculosis, and died in C.E. 69. Richard subsequently had Alexandre come and live with him on Earth, and continue his schooling there. Though treated with a certain amount of either deference or contempt by others, both because he was a Coordinator in a society dominated by Naturals and because of his father, Alex went through Middle and High School as just about any other student, excelling in writing and the graphic arts, doing well in chemistry and barely scraping by in mathematics and history. In between classes, he took lessons in fencing, kung-fu and jujitsu. Alex's father supported and helped him throughout his schooling, devoting much of his time to his son since his wife's death, and had great hopes that young Alexandre would go on to college. However, Alexandre informed his father that he would join the military. Though somewhat disappointed, old Richard Holcroft supported his son's decision, motivating him to push himself physically and mentally as far as he could go - enrolling him in private lessons in fencing, kung-fu and jujitsu, and taking it upon himself to teach Alex to fly and maintain the family's aging Cessna Skylane single-engine plane. Before long, Alex was flying across to Cornwall every holiday, and spending most of the holidays in the air. Alex graduated in C.E. 79 and immediately enrolled in the Eurasian Federation's armed forces as a Mobile Suit pilot. His background in martial arts allow him to excel at close-range combat, though he is an average marksman. Not much of a mechanic, he is nonetheless an accomplished pilot. Casual, irreverent, and irretrievably stubborn, he is disliked by his superiors but good friends with his fellow pilots. He hopes one day to pilot a Gundam, but remains perfectly content with his own machine. Edited February 1, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkphoenix 0 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Ummm,in CE France is just part of Eurasian Federation,so his father cannot be ambassador there. Armed Forces - what is this ? ZAFT? This need correction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Justice 0 Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Mea culpa. Hastily editing it yesterday before I had to go and I missed a couple of errors. Hopefully this should take care of them. (I normally do join ZAFT, but this time I wanted to try something new) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantine 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Nicely done character profile. Short and sweet. I'll look forward to RPing with you in greater detail in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizer 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'd like to see a bit more of Alexandre's personality if possible, perhaps a few of his quirks such as what he likes, or what he fears. As well, I wonder just how Alexandre's father was treating him; Was he the overly demanding kind of father, trying to push Alexandre to his limits, or could he care less about how Alexandre turned out? This has the makings of a good profile, but a bit of tweaking and expansion will make it great P.S.: J'espere que tu parles au moins un peu de francais, c'est pas tous les jours que je trouve quelqu'un qui peu parle un peu de la lange comme moi. Bienvenue au 'Advent Destiny' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Justice 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Salut. En effet, pas tous les jours qu'on trouve des Francais sur Internet. J'vais voir ce que je peux inventer pour ajouter au personnage.(Desole si il y a des fautes d'orthographe, je n'ai pas ecrit de Francais depuis des annees) Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. Look forward to RPing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Justice 0 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'd like to join the Earth Alliance, since Orb is closed and ZAFT has more members. Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizer 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 You'll have to wait for official announcements, as the roster management system is on the fritz today. But Alexandre Holcroft is accepted to the Earth Alliance (rank will be announced when roster system is fixed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizer 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Grouping system is still on the fritz until Valiant can get to it, but Winders has access to the grouping system it seems, so I can still get people accepted in a roundabout fashion. Crewman 2nd Class Alexandre Holcroft accepted, welcome to the EA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
