Aleksandr Nikolaev is the main protagonist in Defend The Future. He is currently trying to bring down FEE for attempting to destroy the future of mankind along with his friends Dwight Arlinghaus and Nikolai Schwarz.

## Appearance

Aleksandr is a quite tall, pale-blonde-haired man. His hair is usually down and or in a ponytail. His usual attire is the FEE Uniform, though his casual is usually band-tees and blue jeans. He has well-kempt facial hair as a tattoo by his right eye. He has heterochromia (though he is far from hetero) and has both green and blue eyes. Aleksandr has a white bandage on his right cheek.

## Religious Beliefs

None, he doesn't believe in a god but doesn't prefer himself to be an atheist. He grew up with no religious teachings whatsoever.

## Relationships

Dwight Arlinghaus: His best friend, both of them have known each other since they were kids. Aleksandr has said he'd had a crush on him, but that has "fizzled out for the better". Dwight is the one who got him the job at FEE when he was in his mid-twenties. Both men are on great terms.

Nikolai Schwarz: Considers him an "okay" friend, Aleksandr thinks Nikolai is manipulative. But he doesn't hold that against him. He's told to "follow" his orders since Nikolai is technically above him in rank, though not by much. He likes his adopted son, James, though, and considers him his nephew.

Mikolaj Nikolaev: His late father, he'd only known him for a couple of years but still loved his father lots. When he learned of his death at FEE he swore to find out the truth about his death.

Zofia Kowalcyzk: His mother, he loves her dearly and would do anything for her. She'd been quiet since her husband's death, though still took care of her kids greatly.

Jakob Nikolaev: Aleksandr has never really been close to his brother, but is trying to get there. They both live together, though avoid each other from time to time.

James: Considers him a nephew, and James considers him an uncle. Both are on great terms, Aleksandr has known him since he was 13 years old. He would sometimes babysit him when Nikolai was out and play board games. James enjoys showing him new tricks he can do as a shifter.

## Defend The Future Part One

At the start of DTF, it's seen that a man known simply as Mikolaj (Aleksandr's late Father) is being chased by a humanoid being, only for it to be stopped when Mikolaj reaches a dead-end in FEE. Another man known as Vest slays him in cold blood, mainly for trying to quit and expose all of their secrets to the outside world.

In Chapter one, Aleksandr is seemingly being stalked by someone of sorts, his main suspicion is FEE themselves keeping an eye on him as for him not to do anything that could expose them. There is also a short, blue-haired man who gets arrested by the police.

## Basic Information

Some basic information is that Aleksandr is an apprentice level 2 guard for FEE/FEC, Future Excel Exploration, and or Future Excel Corp, founded by Miles Fedorov, though passed down to his son Vestikov. He got his job at 25, mainly to have someplace to work but to also uncover the secrets behind his father's death. His father's death had been covered up for years and he finally had a chance to give clarity to himself and his family, but what if he found things he shouldn't have. Exactly. He uncovered way too many secrets about this place, enough to get it defunded and to get Vest and Kiel arrested, possibly them too since they were under Vest's reign. Aleksandr is very secretive, as well, keeping the fact that he wasn't exactly too glad to be starting a job in the tar pool that was where his father lived and died in a matter of seconds from his mother.

His mother had always been the sweetest, especially when his father died that fateful day when she got that phone call from his murderer, Vestikov Fedorov. it was 2004, he was barely 13 years old. His brother was no older than 5 that day. He has never forgotten his mother's ear-piercing wail as she sank to the floor hearing of her husband's death. She thought it was just a little mishap, someone broke into the building and shot Mikolaj dead. Wasn't that. Even at 13, he knew it was just a cover-up, something was going on behind the scenes. 12 years later, he was given the job recommendation by his friend, Dwight Arlinghaus. Since then, he'd been working as a Security Guard ever since, guarding the same place his father's blood poured out of him, he could still see the red stains pooling downward sometimes, even though he'd never been there to see it.

Now that he was 30, he had been working in FEE for nearly 5 years now, taking the role of Security and guarding Sector 008, a lower level in the FEE building though not exactly the lowest, far from it. They were so far underground, he was surprised they didn't hit the core of the earth just then. He assumed it was just an illusion. It scared him. The pit that was always in his stomach was "What if I go through the same fate as my father?" He thinks about that every day he steps into the dreaded building. FEE had been involved with a lot of scandals, whether all of them were true or not didn't cross Aleksandr's mind. One of the funniest ones was a drug scandal that was fabricated by some worker there, it was back in the 99s, though, so he had a tough time remembering it, it was still hilarious.

He lived with his brother now, because his mother had wanted it, she thought it would be best for them to catch up. Now, Aleksandr was 8 years older than this man, Jakob was 21 years old, and he was 30. Jakob always kept his distance despite their mother's persistent tries to get them to connect. Jakob acted like he despised his brother sometimes, but deep down Aleksandr knew he loved him, say for that one time Jakob tried to drown him in the bathtub, that was probably not a brotherly thing to do, but Jakob was only 3 at the time, plus Aleksandr laughed it off at the end.

Now, about that morning that opened up the story. Only 3 am, and the police were already out arresting someone right next to him. It wasn't an oddity, since he had lived in a pretty "bad" neighborhood, though this was a lot worse, from what he'd seen. Around 5 cop cars lined the house and another 2 swat vehicles. He couldn't make out the name, he assumed it was his county police, though. He had seen a young man, no older than 17, being pulled out in handcuffs. His hair was long and the lightest bright blue he'd ever seen. It was like his hair was yelling at him, despite all the red and blue flashing before him, his hair was still keeping its gaze on his eyes. He was pale and had a crazed look on his face, he assumed him to be another weird maniac that had happened to be his neighbor. Before entering the police car he was practically forced into, he stared deeply into Aleksandr's eyes, the stare was like a stab in the eyes. Their eye contact didn't last long, though, because before he knew it, the funky-haired man was driving away, drowning in the red and blue lights.

He also found a camera, that's fun. He had no idea who planted it, maybe Jakob. His brother would never, though, right? The camera was small and had a tiny red light. He turned it off in a blink and went back to sleep.

## Criminal Record

Probable Murder (Self-Defense) - Defended himself from an attacker in his home. The guy was hurt badly, though Aleksandr doesn't know if he died or not.

Grand Theft Auto - Stole a car to chase after an escaped criminal when he was around 27.

## Sexuality/Gender

Aleksandr's sexuality is ambiguous, he considers himself a gay male. He's never really been sexually attracted to women as much as men and finds himself getting crushes on those of the male gender, even having a crush on Dwight in his late teens. He's said he was "probably bi in the past" though thinks it was a phase or something. He doesn't know his gender, and mainly uses He/Him, though he doesn't mind any pronouns if wanted. He says he's more than likely genderqueer or pangender.

## Mental Health

Aleksandr has depression and mild agoraphobia. He's being treated and taking anti-depressants. He said he has a therapist, though they've never seen or mentioned again. He doesn't like to bring up his mental illnesses, though he will state them if needed.
