Prince Alex T. Pastel is the famous bounty hunter prince. He is part of the Pastel Royal family, being the younger offspring to Tobirth and Lilith Pastel and the younger twin brother to King Ander Pastel. He is also the beloved husband of Tiff Pastel and father of Susie and Stephanie Pastel. He is a highly skilled bounty hunter who, alongside Tiff, would be assigned to constant missions given by his brother. He specialises in using his extreme speed movement while using his blade passed over from his mother. He also occasionally uses his revolver for ricochet shots.

## **Appearance**

Alex has a relatively bulky build and is somewhat short. Like all aranea dracos, he has pure white skin, 4 green eyes, big fangs and blue dragon scales near his stomach.

His hair is a pastel blue colour which means his blood is blue too. His hairstyle is a very long spikey hairstyle that's tied up in a ponytail. The ponytail was made to help differentiate from him and his brother since he looks exactly like Ander without it.

For his normal attire, he wears a brown cowboy hat, a black hair tie, a bronze visor mainly worn on his forehead, a brown cape, a brown tank top, a black undershirt, a brown trousers with a black belt, brown gloves with gold buckles on each wrist, black Cowboy boots with Gold/Yellow accents, a black scabbard with a glowing blue tip at the end and a black holster with, again, matching glowing blue accents.

For his casual attire, he wears a black shirt that says "Bang Bang!" written on it, dark blue jeans and matching boots.

When ascended to his Arcane Armour form, his blade and scabbard transform onto him, giving him a full plate of armour that resembles a dragon. He also gains 3 swords around him that replace his blade entirely due to it transforming into the armour. The armour, like the blade and scabbard, is black with blue glowing accents. He also wears a gold wedding ring on his right ring finger.

## **Personality**

Alex, when first seen, is very flippant, lucky, cocky, easy-going and carefree. Even if his opponent is extremely dangerous, he just casually taunts them without a worry in the world and always running in wildly, being very reckless and somewhat stubborn. Which shows he is extremely fearless, having a almost disinterested attitude towards deadly foes. But something he shares with his brother is being serious in certain situations. As he cares for his family deeply.

In the past, Alex didn't care for anyone other than himself when he was dating Vivian but once she attacked Tiff, he realises that there are people who have feelings because unlike Vivian, Tiff is Alex's close friend growing up. He regretted his past mistakes and repented for what he has done. Which proved to be a great change seeing as he broke up with Vivian and fell in love with Tiff, marrying her and having 2 daughters with her as a result.

Alex sees Vivian as a bare reminder of the horrible past he endured and he wishes to never see her again. But her jealousy led her back to him when she was demonized by Frewil. This leads to a fight with him and Vivian that reveals that Alex believes in the phase "opposites attract". Seeing as Tiff is his opposite in terms of personality and Vivian is exactly like Alex, mainly the Alex from back then. So if anything, he sees defeating Vivian as a means to discard his past completely.

Despite trying to act cool on multiple occasions, he never uses curse words as a means to act cool. Leading him to be very respectful and proving you don't need to do any of that stuff to seem cool. He also notably says "aight" a lot as a verbal tic or as a replacement for "alright".

His notable weakness tends to be how cocky he can be. He is aware he isn't a strong person, and due to being cocky, this will lead to him being injured badly. He even states that he broke his arm at one point during one bounty hunting mission. But despite all this, he will do what it takes to get the bounty done.

### **Enhanced Speed**

Alex is well known for being extremely fast in comparison to other aranea dracos. He shows this though his weapons as he instantly uses them in quickdraws. He isn't as fast as Scarab but he's somewhat close.

### **Aranea Draco Traits**

> *Main Article: Aranea Dracos*

Although only mainly using his fire breath ability the most. He *can* use his other abilities but decides to only mainly use his fire breath.

* **Fire Breath:** Alex is a skilled user of his fire breath. His flames are unique as they are blue. He notably ignites his sword and bullets for more damage.

### **The Blade of 8000 Truths**

A katana inherited from his samurai mother and now passed over to him. Alex notably uses it for quickdraw strikes, showing that he fights in a iaijutsu fighting style, however he does use it like a normal blade such as a attack where he spins forwards while the blade is out. This blade is capable of slashing through almost anything once it is ignited by his flames.

### **Cobalt Roulette**

A revolver inherited from his sheriff father. Like with his blade, he fires from it mainly through quickdraws but mainly fires on surfaces since it ricochets very fast and doesn't stop till it hits something that it can penetrate. The way he uses it is similar to Scarab using her gun weapons but he focuses on ricochets more than firing it point-blank.

### **Tiff's Support**

Due to always being by his side, Tiff helps Alex by mainly cheering on for him. Mainly because of her vibe aura ability. With this, Tiff can help Alex do many things. Even without Tiff, Alex can still hold his own but Tiff supporting him proved to be perfect synergy.

### **Ascension: Arcane Armour**

Alex's ascension. His katana and scabbard transform into a full plate of armour. When equipped, Alex has access to three flying swords around him that counts as the replacement for his blade since it is now part of his armour now. He also doesn't use his revolver due to being able to fire out the swords that act similar to the bullets of the revolvers, being able to ricochet from surfaces. The downfall seems to be his reduced speed due to the weight of the armour. So he uses the swords normally instead of his usual iaijutsu style.

## **Biography**

### **Backstory**

Alex was born right after his twin brother Ander at the Aranea Draco Kingdom after their parents, Tobirth and Lilith Pastel, were bestowed royal leadership of the kingdom by the dying Agnew Pastel. Alex is the younger twin due to being born right after his brother. Sadly, their mother dies as soon as they were born, leading Tobirth by himself to look after his two sons. Alex lived a decent childhood; playing with his brother using wooden swords and toy guns. When they reached the age of 20 and due to being the older twin, their father would say that Ander would be king when Tobirth retires and eventually dies. Leaving Alex to become a arcane warrior.

It's there where he made friends with fellow warriors, Tiff and Vivian. With Tiff being a childhood friend of Alex's during his youth. Alex notes how similar Vivian is to him. As the both of them hate their jobs and decides to not follow the rules given to them. For Alex, this is mainly because he was jealous of his brother being king while he just became a generic arcane warrior. Due to their similarities, Alex falls in love with Vivian; with Tiff being disappointed but still followed orders. She wouldn't talk to the two lovers for now. One day during their missions, Alex and Vivian had to interrogate a man who committed several murders. They found them and it's there where Vivian reveals her poison breath and kills the murderer with it. Alex tries to keep cool about the situation even though they were supposed to arrest the man. Vivian kisses Alex and says that man deserved it. It was there where Alex thought about his actions ever since he started dating Vivian, remembering the last words he heard from his father before his death. Those words relating to him not going down a bad path. After this, Alex starts to doubt his relationship with Vivian.

Alex and Vivian go out to do whatever they want instead of reporting back to Ander. This was until they are found by Tiff, who sent herself out to find them after they were absent. TIff asks where they went and what happened to the man they were supposed to retrieve. Alex was about to say something but is interrupted by Vivian saying "Oh.. we just killed that bastard is all." Tiff was shocked by this and states that she will report this to Ander but is met with Vivian stopping her and using her poison breath on her. Alex watches but is then maddened by this. He attacks Vivian by shooting her in the leg and after that, she asks why he did that, to which Alex says that they are through and is no longer doing the bad things that he has done with her. This fuels Vivian with strong rage that she goes to attack Alex but is quickly shot in the leg again. This time it was more fatal, making her unable to stand up for a while. With Vivian unable to battle, Alex leaves her there while rushing back to the kingdom with Tiff.

When they return, Alex explains everything to his brother. To which Ander states that he will personally talk to Vivian about her actions and says that he was willing to fire Alex of his job but he says that their father wanted Alex to be a proud warrior. So Alex got to keep his job, just as long as he doesn't mess up like last time. Alex is next seen with Tiff, who recovered from the poison. Alex says that he regrets everything he has done to her and wishes to repent for what he has done. To which Tiff says that he is overreacting and that he doesn't need to change entirely because he is still the same Alex she fell in love with many years ago. Revealing her crush to him. After the recovery, Tiff and Alex start going out with each other, leading Alex to a better path as he became a strong warrior. Leading to the birth of Susie and Stephanie.

During their one of their honeymoons years later, Alex would find Ace, who was currently being frozen in ice due to Frewil's attack ages ago. Both him and Tiff would retrieve and thaw out Ace when they returned home. Since then, Alex would retire as a arcane warrior and ends up as a bounty hunter for his own personal needs to get money for his family. He would also become a jet pilot too. Which proved to be a great experience for him. He would also be known as the "Legendary Kingpin Warrior" during his time as a bounty hunter.

## **Relationships**

### **Lilith Pastel**

Alex never got to meet his mother properly due to dying later on upon his birth. Tobirth notes that she was a proud samurai warrior and she says that she will inherit her blade to his son when he grows up.

### **Tobirth Pastel**

Alex respects his father a lot. Mainly for being a proud warrior and being chosen as the next leader after Agnew's death. It seems that Tobirth trusted his son despite his past actions. As he inherits his trusty revolver to him after he dies.

### **King Ander Pastel**

Alex has a decent relationship with his twin brother. He was very different to him but that never stopped their respect for one another. Ander doubted his brother when he was acting strange when he became king. But after hearing his father's dying words of becoming a strong warrior, Ander believed in his brother greatly and it proved to be better after the Vivian murder incident, as Alex became stronger and more respected. Leading to Ander to trust his brother to do more personal dangerous missions alongside Tiff.

### **Tiff Pastel**

Tiff is Alex's childhood friend after he saved her from harm in the pure jungle. This encounter led to Tiff having a crush on Alex for a very long time. The two became attached and would meet each other again when they both became bounty hunters. Tiff worried for Alex when he was feeling jealous over his brother being king and wanted to stay by his side but Vivian kept getting in her way and leading Alex to a dark path. When Alex went out with Vivian, Tiff decides to stay away from Alex because he was becoming something she didn't like. But despite all that, Tiff still cared for him. Always remarking on that day where he saved her. After recovering from Vivian's poison, Tiff finally got together with Alex after he broke up with Vivian. This leads to him being very happy with Tiff and having two children with her while also being his support in his missions given by Ander.

### **Vivian Nimbus**

At first, Alex loved how rebellious Vivian was and how similar she was to him. They would eventually go out with each other and this proved to be a very negative impact on his life. As he wouldn't follow the rules given and during the day of his last mission with her, Alex starts to remember what his father said to him and started to doubt his relationship with Vivian. Especially after she killed the murderer that he was assigned to arrest. When Vivian poisoned Tiff, it was there where Alex had enough with Vivian and he dumps her. Nowadays, Alex hates Vivian and she is a clear reminder of his dark past. For Vivian, she is *obsessed* with Alex. She enjoyed his companionship a lot and even when they broke up. She still wanted to be with him and she began to have envious tendencies when she witnesses Alex having his first kiss with Tiff. Her enviousness over Alex proved to be so strong that she became the representative of Envy when she was demonised by Frewil. She was willing to kill Alex so that Frewil can demonise him to become her demonic husband.

### **Susie and Stephanie Pastel**

Alex loves his two daughters a lot. He noted that he wanted a son but was completely fine with just having daughters. There are times where he feels bad with leaving them to be taken cared of by Paul and Ander when he goes out to missions. He shares this guilt with Tiff and reveals that once he was done fighting with the currently zombified Vivian, he would return home to be a better father to his currently teenage daughters.

### **Teapot**

Teapot met Alex on his plane. Alex and Tiff trusted Teapot to not harm Susie. Teapot thinks Alex in particular is weird for waiting for her to wake up on his plane while he was flying around in circles but she opened up to him and Tiff. This seems to be the only true interaction she has with these two; as her relationship with the two are merely Acquaintances.

## **Trivia**

* Alex and his brother’s names derive from and are puns on Con Air's surname, Alexander. Though Alex’s name could relate to the name meaning “Man’s Defender” or “Warrior” in Greek origin. Which is very suitable since he is known as the “Legendary Kingpin Warrior”.
	+ His middle name, Turquoise, refers to his birthstone. Though, since he is a aranea draco, it could be seen as a colour reference.
* Alex was first designed during Con Air's time at level 1 college. He originally had a “bean” shaped head. This was mostly because of errors. Besides that, not much has changed. Like Susie, he had the original aranea dracos eyes. He didn’t have his visor. Although not shown in the example image, he had a generic golden long sword and lacked his scabbard, revolver and holster. His hair was also noticeably shorter and he didn’t have his cowboy hat. He also had a more serious personality instead of his flippant and carefree personality.
* His likes consist of:
	+ Burgers
	+ Energy Drinks
	+ Board Games
	+ Taunting his opponents
	+ His family
* His dislikes consist of:
	+ Losing his cool
	+ Being unarmed
	+ Vivian's obsession over him
* Alex is canonically ambidextrous. Meaning he’s both left and right handed. Explains why he can use his sword and gun at the same time and be very precise with them. The same can be said for his brother.
* Alex seems to take inspiration from both a cowboy and a samurai. This is mainly because of his parents being a cowboy and samurai respectfully and how his fighting style even uses quickdraws. With that in mind, he shares this comparison with Jetstream Sam from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Both him and Alex even have similar personality traits. Hence, Alex's design took inspiration from him.
	+ His design also seems to be inspired on that of Sonic the Hedgehog. His hair is blue like Sonic’s fur and he has green eyes. He’s also known for being one of the fastest characters in Wowlife like Sonic being known as the fastest thing alive. However, Scarab beats Alex for being THE fastest thing alive. And like Jetstream Sam, both of their personalities seem similar; both being cool and cocky.
* Originally in old concepts of Wowlife, Alex and Ander's roles would be somewhat reversed. With Alex being known as king and Ander getting jealous over it. The only difference being that Ander goes through more fatal means to become a king with him being controlled by Evelyn to kill his father. He would then throw his brother out of the kingdom and this leads to Alex going through a journey to return home and to take his brother on to decide who will become king. This set-up seems very similar to events in Disney's The Lion King and Con Air acknowledges these events as a What-If scenario. The reason why this was changed was for several reasons.
	+ The first obvious change is Ander being the older twin now in the current Wowlife concept. So logically and by default, he would be the king.
	+ Second, Evelyn went from a somewhat cunning woman to a gluttonous mindless freak who dabbled in the arts of the grimdark. She wouldn't be able to control Ander due to now not being able to use the ability and not being as smart as she used to be.
	+ Third, the idea was lifted from a unused version of Tangerine's Melancholy Timeline where the events are exactly what happens in current Wowlife's story in the Prime Timeline minus the events that led to Frewil absorbing the grimdark brotherhood.
	+ Fourth, the story wouldn't make sense for Ander's current version of his character. As he is a very respectful and straight forward gentleman due to taking after his father. If anything, he would embrace his brother being king.
	+ Fifth, Vivian stood in and replaced Ander as the evil jealous Aranea Draco character in this story.
	+ Lastly, Wowlife's story went from a Non-Linear Narrative that takes place in different times and split into several parts of the story to just being a Multi-Strand narrative that splits between different characters (mainly the characters from the guardian era, bloodstained era and the current era) while all taking place in the same year. As a result, the entire plot had to be rebooted entirely.
* Alex's visor being primarily on his forehead is based on Con Air having his sleep mask on his forehead for a reasonably long time when he wakes up every morning.
* The name of his revolver, the Cobalt Roulette, is named after Russian Roulette . Mostly because the game involves the usage of revolvers, something that the Cobalt Roulette is known for being. Plus it serves as a reference to Alex being lucky.
* Originally, Scarab would of been Alex's mentor in using the Blade of 8000 Truths; in fact she was originally the one who made the sword to begin with. This was changed because of Scarab's personality change and because of the sword now originally being owned by Alex's mother.
	+ His now canon (albeit, minor) mentor, believe it or not, was his brother.
* A repetitive gag that Alex shares with Vivian is how many times he shot her in the leg. He does it once accidentally during their training sessions during their arcane warrior arc, twice on purpose during the Tiff incident and will likely do it again if they ever fight again. It's gotten so bad that it's accepted that hitting Vivian hard in the leg was her weakness until she gets the cordyceps, which will heal her wounds instantly.
