Name: Alexander Davenport
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Birthday: 12 September 1986
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Occupation: Photographer
Nationality: American
Good or Evil: Good
Race: Wizard
Original or Canon: Original
Face Claim: Chad Michael Murray
Appearance:
Alex walks at an above average height of 5’9’’ with athletic frame that is neither big nor skinny. He has, over the years, built up a bit of muscle and this has made him a little wider in breadth, otherwise, Alex is quite happy with his shape.
He has light brown eyes, short silver/blonde hair and strong, yet soft, facial features. This enables him to switch easily from serious and harsh to gentle or cheeky; making his emotions hard to spot – somewhat of a natural ‘poker face’. Also, sometimes he can look many years younger than he actually is and other times when he is rugged, he can seem older.
His dress sense is generally dress-casual, often wearing several layers like shirts and jackets, along with cuffs or bands. He would never wear anything preppy, but can be seen wearing sportswear and even the casual jeans and a shirt – but the latter is rare.
Personality:
Alex is a strong and silent person, quite modest and shy, sharing very little with others until he knows them properly; all a bit mysterious. For this, he has been misunderstood as being secretive (which he is) and unapproachable or cold (which he isn’t). With his close friends and loved ones, however, he is the opposite, being open, honest, sharing and very outgoing. It is only with most people that he is distant. This may be due to trust issues.
Being so introverted, Alex has become analytical over most things he comes across, and can be overcritical to the point of being harsh. Otherwise, he is fairly meticulous (perfectionist) and reliable, the one who is usually on time (even if he gives off a ‘bad boy’ image) and diligent with most things he does. A negative of these traits is that Alex can fuss and worry far too much, and over really stupid things. His sisters have often called him paranoid or neurotic for being (sometimes) overly cautious. True to form, he holds conservative values, but is relatively young at heart. He believes that men should be gentlemen and that kindness and compassion is able to salvage humanity; but also believes in having a good time while doing so.

History:
Throughout primary school, Alex was with his siblings and they were like any other normal family. He didn’t yet know of his powers or of their family heritage, which was probably a good thing, as Alex was very moody as a child. He received above average marks, but rarely tried further then what was needed – there was no extra care. Neither overly popular nor a loner, Alex and the other siblings were well known in the school, but he seemed to be the only one that was just cruising along. His parents thought that it had largely to do with the school and how the system worked – he needed more of a challenge as he found it quite boring – and the teachers noticed this too. So, as recommended, he was placed into different after school programs to keep him from boring easily, which he didn’t appreciate. He did like a few things, like the many sports he got into and the creative arts, but ignored all the community-oriented activities. This early development is important, as when Alex found out that he had to use his magic for the greater good, he rebelled against it. This didn’t mean that he was selfish, but that he would rather keep his life private.
In high school, Alexander opened more to people and became more relaxed. He came into his own and realised that there were other aspects to life than school. He even continued with several sports. However, there was pressure from his parents to succeed in school, which only made him retract from it even more. In the middle of his freshman year, Peter and Rosalie decided to send him to boarding school for a year, and this taught him many lessons. Although not straightened out, Alex was more lively when he returned… only to lose his mother shortly after and gain his first power, all at the ripe age of 14.
So if puberty wasn’t enough, Alex was sent into a downward spiral of confusion. At times, abusing his magic (including personal gain) and falling into the wrong crowd, stealing and drinking underage – anything to escape the pain. Although he wasn’t as close to his mother as he was to his father, it was still his mother that was murdered, and he was too young to do anything about it. To this day, Alex still has a carefree attitude to others’ well being.
Alex finally pulled himself out of the mess he put himself in when he vanquished his first demon at 16. He started to get the right headspace to finish high school and with the grades to go to college, but he decided not to. Instead, he took up photography as a profession, first enrolling into an arts program for a year in Manhattan, New York, which he then spent another year working under a fashion magazine, as an intern. At 20, he transferred to Beverly Hills, California, and in his spare time, became a paparazzo, only to stay another 2 years before moving back home to San Diego.
Alex likes his magic, but feels that it suppresses him – he doesn’t feel like he should be obligated to ‘save the world’, but does it anyway.
Family:
* Mother: Rosalie Davenport [Deceased]
* Father: Peter Davenport [44 years old]
* Twin Sister: Danielle Davenport [24 years old]
* Younger Sister: Ruby Davenport [22 years old]
* Youngest sister: Lara Davenport [20 years old]
*Peter Davenport is a Witch who was in love with a beautiful (in his opinion) Witch named Rosalie Davenport who at the time (when they first met) was engaged to a human named Ethan, and thought of nothing else but starting a life with Ethan, until she met Peter, when they both came across a demon; after defeating the demon they became friends.
Although Peter fell in love with her almost straight away, Rosalie liked having another witch to talk to and be friends with, but Ethan grew jealous of their friendship and gave her an ultimatum, and she being a strong woman, said she wouldn't change her friends for any man and he should accept it, but he didn’t, so they separated two months later and then Peter and Rosalie started dating and later married.
*The twins Alex and Danielle came first. The joyous parents loved having a family and had been happily married for almost 2 years when their twins were born but they wanted more children so a year later they had another girl, Ruby. Peter wanted another boy so they tried for another baby 18 months later were blessed with another girl, Lara.
Peter and Rosalie kept their magical heritage from their children, wanting them to grow up as normal as possible as they hated having to pretend to be normal people. However, soon after the death of their mother (Alex was 14), Alex got his first power and was forced to ask his father many questions. It probably came at the worst time, because he was dealing with such a powerful grief. Consequently, this made Alex closer to his father than the girls were, although he was somewhat neglected for the ‘second boy’ in the family (that never came) and he still holds resent for this. It was these reasons that Peter explained everything to Alex, including the truth about how their mother actually died, killed by a demon and not in a car accident, like the other siblings were led to believe. Alex and his father have kept this secret from the others, as to keep them from the pain of magic. This has then made Alex quite secretive in other aspects of his life and has learned to put up a strong guard against others emotionally.
