His character arc holds 360 degrees, including a BA in English from Ursinus College and an MA in Communication Arts from UW–Madison, apparently. He’s fond of fantasy, metafiction, and that odd combination of pretentiousness and self-deprecation that comes from spending too much time being introspective. Alex is proud and honored to have been a part of Star*Line, and lives out on the northleft coast with his two pets, Depression and Anxiety—but if anyone asks, you’ve never heard of him.
