Alexander Charles Thompson

Unique Features: His ears are pierced four times (in each ear) and he had checkered gages in both. He has a checkered pattern running up from his wrist then it slowly fades out below his elbow then it fades back in at his shoulder and the checkered pattern continues across his shoulders. 

Mentality: Alexander/Check does indeed have multiple personality disorder which means he is more like two people instead of one. There is a side to him where he can be a normal human being, laughing, joking, and just happy. Then there is the darker side to him. When he gets angry or is in a fight there seems to be a trigger in his brain that flips a switch bringing out his alternate personality, Check. His whole demeanor will change and it is pretty easy to tell when he has emerged. With this side of him he is violent and loves to see blood or inflict pain. He will hardly react if he is injured not allowing himself to be bothered with pain. Instead, he revels in it and he has been known to actually dig bullets out of his own skin with his bare hands before. Even in his insane actions, Check is fully aware what is right and wrong. He does not allow himself to hurt women or children. Only the guilty pay the price in his mind. When this happens his normal side is locked away somewhere deep inside of him. He doesn't remember a lot of what happens when his other personality comes out to play, but he knows that when it does it is never good. 

Personality: Check is not one to shy away from any fight. He loves the thrill of charging head first into the action which allows his inner self to be unleashed. His eyes harden and red takes over his vision as the blood begins to fly. Screams won’t save you when Check has you under his control. Aside from the violence he really is a nice person. Many would never realize that he is the type of person who tortures people for the thrill of it behind closed doors. He can easily fit in with society despite his crazy looks. His own family doesn't know that there is a darker side to him. When he is with his mother and father there is a caring soul there who would do anything to keep them safe and financially supported. He even is known to play with dress up with his niece, Eliza. Those kind green eyes are what people most know him by, but those on the streets only know the sharp emerald gaze that fall upon them when he is with his gang. 

Strength: His particular strengths come from his second personality. He is not afraid when he is in that mindset and is a good fighter. He doesn't mind pain thus making him a sort of weapon. This is the reason he leads a gang. He is never afraid to die in a situation like that. He is skilled with blades of any kind. He also can use a gun, but would rather be up close and personal when he decides on his means of torture. He is always thinking two steps ahead of his rivals whether it be his own gang members or his enemies. 

Weakness: His main weakness is his family and any lovers he might have at the time. The last thing he wants is them to get hurt or injured. Not many people know he actually has a normal devoting family in the suburbs. A big weakness for him is also his other side, the normal one. Due to the fact he doesn't remember much of when Check takes over, he is at a loss. There have been times he has woken up in the street covered in blood not knowing where he was because of this. Due to this loss of information, the gang members he works with do not know there are two sides of him. This puts him in danger for any enemies he may have because they could easily catch him on a good day and he would have no clue who they were. 

Home Life: Alexander grew up as a normal child with a normal family. His father worked at a steel mill and his mother was stay at home mom raising him and his sister together. He made excellent grades in school and was one of the top students in his class. It was not until high school as he noticed something off about himself. He found school boring and grades unimpressive as he soared through award after award. He graduated high school and went off to college only to find it uneventful. He wanted something better out of his life. Many would find life with perfect grades and a healthy normal family who paid for college a perfect lifestyle, but not Alex. He wanted something more unpredictable. He needed to quench his thirst for adventure and uncertainty. With this driving him forward he quit college leaving his neighborhood only to venture into the run down parts of town. He wandered the streets staying at one abandon building to the next enjoying the things he found around each corner. It was not until he talked to a few locals that rumors soured into his head. A character named Outlaw ran the streets. Outlaw was said to be one of the youngest gang leaders around and he was virtually unstoppable. He grinned upon this opportunity to make something of himself.

Gang Life: It wasn't soon after the rumors spread that he found Outlaw's hideout. Turns out the what the rumors didn't say was that they were in the middle of a very tricky transition. Outlaw had betrayed the gang, The Spades, and was on the run. A very furious second in command was the one hunting him down in order to get revenge. Check brought an offer to the table that the Spades couldn't resist. The head of Outlaw for the price of being king. They agreed and he went in search of this famous kid. It turned out when he found him he was just that, a kid. He was only 18 and practically dying in the alleyway after being shot by one of his own gang members. With a soft heart, Check took him to a motel and nursed his wounds. His boyfriend at the time took him to a safe place after finding out all the kid wanted was to be a normal person. No more gangs, no more violence, and definitely not the drugs that came with it all. Once he was safe, Check took his bloody clothes and gun and returned to the gang. Rumors spread throughout the city that the world famous Outlaw was dead, thus reigning Check the new king of the Spades.

Now: Each gang member has a Spade tattoo on their right wrists. This signifies that they are meant to be feared and respected by anyone else. With Check having come in at a later time his tattoo is actually on his right shoulder. Before Outlaw was simply just running a gang but with Check, it became a lifestyle and a home. He made the members fix the inside of the warehouse giving him his very own soundproof torture room with a built-in drain and metal chair firmly secured on the floor, not to mention all of the equipment he had stolen over the years. On top of that, there were a few rooms in the back where all the children of the gang live. He made them fix it so that it would suit them and they would be safe. Outlaw used to use the children as his drug runners, risking their lives on the street. Check didn't see that as an option. Instead, they were his little mice. Running around, unmarked by the gang, and listening. They were his eyes and ears out on the streets. He knew what was going on around him at any given point in time due to them. In return, they got a place to live and eat without the fear of freezing to death or dying on the sidewalks. No one hurt his little mice or there would be hell to pay.

He even changed it to where drugs were just a side operation. He cut the stash off completely from the gang and only have a select few he trusted to be in that sort of business. Instead, they put their skills to good use, breaking in and stealing certain items or things. He even had them kidnap a few people and work on expanding their territories. Everything had changed under his rule. The gang was quick to learn that no one messed with Check or threatened the way he ran things. The last person who did that ended up being fed to the dogs after they were locked for weeks in his room.
