"No, no!" said the Queen. "Sentence first--verdict afterwards."

"Stuff and nonsense!" said Alice loudly. "The idea of having the sentence first!"

"Hold your tongue!" said the Queen, turning purple.

"I won’t!" said Alice.

"Off with her head!" the Queen shouted at the top of her voice. Nobody moved.

"Who cares for you?" said Alice, (she had grown to her full size by this time.) "You’re nothing but a pack of cards!"

Character basics.

Name: Alec Liddel
Pronouns: He/Him
Age: 22
Species: Human
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Blue
Build: Average height, needs to eat a sandwich.

Canon: Alec is a grown-up, genderswapped (mostly) AU of Alice, primarily pulling from the original novels, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. I also take inspiration from several adaptations, such as the 1951 Disney film, American McGee's Alice series*, and this terrifying Czech stop-motion adaptation called Něco z Alenky.

In general, I would like to apologize to Lewis Carroll for using his charming, clever books as a jumping-off point for a weird kid with anxiety issues and disassociation problems. I am garbage. Why do we keep doing this.

PB: Dane Dehaan, mostly from Kill Your Darlings.

Games: Currently wandering around [community profile] starhuevalley.

* I personally think American McGee is a talentless hack who deserves none of the praise he's been given, but goddamn if his games don't have some beautiful imagery!

Appearance.

Alec looks fairly unremarkable at a glance and is easy to overlook in a crowd. He’s of average height, has a scrawny build, and usually tries to take up as little space as possible. No matter where he is, he never seems entirely comfortable in his own body. He speaks quietly by default. His laughter is light and fleeting. He tends to fidget with his fingers and his mouth when he’s thinking.

His hair is blonde and seems perpetually in need of cutting. He has blue eyes, and looks like he hasn’t slept well in weeks. He isn’t great at dressing himself, always putting on things that don’t quite match or clothes that are too big for him—which adds to the common misconception that he is much younger than his actual age.

Despite everything he talks about, he gives off absolutely no feelings of magic and has no supernatural auras of any kind. He reads as a plain, boring, powerless human.


Backstory.

A lot of awful things happened to him and then they stopped happening to him. And then his own internal discordance kept ruining his life. I'll have to actually write this up in more detail later when I've actually nailed down everything that was literally happening vs. everything he perceived to be happening.


Personality.

Haha yeah gonna write this section later too.


Permissions.

Go for it! I'm 100% okay with the following...
→ thread-jacking
→ friendly physical affection
→ flirting
→ arguing/debate
→ mild physical violence
→ telepathy
→ mind-reading
→ sensing emotions
→ causing hallucinations

Hold up! Check with me first just so we're on the same page...
→ smut threads
→ mind control
→ casual drug use
→ serious physical harm
→ death!?

Content warning! I keep most of his heavy stuff on the down-low because oh boy, this character has the potential to be problematic as heck--but if your character really goes digging, topics that may come up could include Alec's abusive parents, childhood poverty, gender dysphoria, disassociation, depression, medication, and the fact that I won't commit to whether or not Alec has a legitimate mental illness or if he is actually phasing in and out of a Wonderland dimension all the time.

If you are ever uncomfortable with anything I'm referencing in tags or my representation of these topics ignorant or offensive or anything like that, please feel free to get in contact with me or comment to my opt-out post to let me know you'd rather not deal with whatever I'm writing about.


Dating.

Requirements:
→ Have ten 50-comment threads (25 for each character)
→ Give him three love/like gifts in a row (resets with each dislike/hate gift)
→ Get him to admit something he has been avoiding acknowledging (very hard)
→ Do something to take care of him (feed him, rescue him, believe him, etc.)

Loves: Tea, honey, jam, bread, geode minerals, things with cats on them, puzzles
Likes: Books, fruit, cooked foods (except bread, which is Loved), card games
Neutral: Flowers, vegetables, gems, shells, seeds, most artifacts
Dislikes: Rabbit's foot, alcohol, farm tools, gardening
Hates: Weapons, void essence, yelling, red or purple mushrooms

✘ Openly dismissing him as delusional or accusing him of something he did not do will automatically cut your friendship score in half.

Locations: Library, the forest, or local shops. Sometimes your farm, randomly.


Miscellaneous.

If I ever make his farm map, it'll go here. :)
