Alexander Hathorne is your friendly neighborhood council member. The epitome of warmth, charm and outward affability, one shouldn’t be surprised if they find it easy to converse or befriend the man, or even if they find themselves skeptical of whether he cares about the titles he holds. He’s willing to engage or entertain just about anyone, and rarely holds the social capital that comes with being a doctor or council member over people’s heads, usually choosing to purposely neglect telling others about such facts unless they ask or already know. He is generous, both with his time and his words, often going out of his way to befriend, guide and compliment young league cadets, and coating his criticisms or lectures in gentle, yet straightforward honesty. There are even stories floating around of him giving genuine advice to his opponents in the middle of battles.
[break][break]
He’s the cool dad of the league, basically. Hit him up for anything.

[attr="class","hooksnatblurb"]



With everything said about how nice Alex can be, when it comes to battle, and even more specifically when it comes to genuine threats as large and looming as team rocket, the phrase “Kill them with kindness.” takes on a whole new meaning. To put it simply, he is quietly prideful. Of the league, and of the region. While he doesn’t feel the need to put on a performative show of strength or aggression the way some other trainers or council members might, he is competitive, and has no qualms about showing as little mercy as possible against his enemies. Those stories about Alex giving genuine advice to his opponents in battle? Some versions include a small, but sinister smirk that lays on his face while he does so, almost as if to mock his opponents, or at least subtly communicate an arrogant kind of assuredness of his own dominance and superiority.
[break][break]
In the face of outright animosity, Alex maintains that same arrogant smirk, but instead of operating with his usual genuine politeness, he’ll take on a more passive-aggressive and sarcastic tone, too good to respond with genuine hostility, but not too high-minded to take potshots.
[break][break]
When it comes to team rocket, his views are very simple: They need to be defeated by any means necessary, and as surprising as it might be for someone with such a benevolent reputation, he’s willing to get his hands as bloody dirty as they need to in order to achieve that goal.

Being as friendly as he is can sometimes result in more-than-friendly feelings. More-than-friendly feelings sometimes result in flings or relationships. Alex has had, and continues to have, his fair share of both. Courting him is as easy as expressing genuine interest, and should he pick up on it (and he will), you can expect to be having a candlelit dinner (or just skipping straight to knocking boots) by the end of the afternoon. Being a council member can be time-consuming, and as such, he has no interest in being tied down by marriage or children. He is, however, willing to divide his attention between multiple romantic partners, and primarily practices polyamory when it comes to dating. He’s not entirely opposed to a monogamous relationship, but it would take an exceptionally attractive woman to convince him of such an arrangement.

Can't think of too many other kinds of relationships that haven't been covered, but here are a couple facts to play on.
[break][break]
- Alex fancies himself a fairy-type specialist, and maintains an affection for cute and/or pink things/pokemon in general, so if you can satisfy or share in his enthusiasm for that, you've already got one foot in the door with him.
[break][break]
- Was born and raised in Verdanturf town
[break][break]
-Spent a year traveling around Kanto at the age of 25. Had some adventures, met some rockets, got into trouble, came back with stories.

Soft league dad meets angry league mom! @alexander seems like one of the few people Vera met when she was still an apprentice that she still respects until now. Maybe it's an unflinching belief that Alexander would sooner donate his gallbladder to the local Fairy Fan Club Association than be a prick who uses his influence to stomp people, or maybe it's just fun to parent tag-team. Either way, Vera would enjoy (and benefit) from hanging around a friend who's less unhinged, and who is actually a doctor. They could be drinking buddies, or Vera would have a habit of texting him about gossip she finds. He'll be one of the people she can actually call 'Old man' and have the right to!

Oh, plus, she has an Audino named Cheri who is literally the sweetest thing, but who she has a... somewhat rocky relationship with. She'll need all the advice she can get.

Alternatively, they could have some bad blood between them, what with Vera's stance against the league for their corruption. If Alexander has anything to do with that, it's going to spell trouble.

These are just suggestions though! Tell me what you think. ^^

EDIT: Moved the response here bc I’m dumb and forgot I should post this in Alex’s plotter!

@alexander  Yes, I would want. All of those ideas. Official unofficial work spouses would be perfect! Droves of support and love between two people who are opposites but work surprisingly well. I can see the two of them make time for each other and just hang out to relieve the stress. They will be the best of friends!

Until they aren't.

Vera herself doesn't realize it yet, but she has a soft heart, a sort of willingness to see the potential good in people who have done irredeemable things, or at least, she's able to see that certain ways of dealing with people are just plain screwed up. While she's not against a good scuffle to remind rockets their bullshit won't be tolerated, she'll be taking an unusually pacifistic stance when inhumane methods are brought to the table. She'll try to convince them that capture and rehabilitation is the way to deal with the criminals, which I doubt Alex would take all-too-kindly considering what the rockets are willing to do. And then once the conflict's gears are turning, Vera will be too prideful to really step down from her stance, but man is she going to miss Alex's company. Depending on how she'll experience and interact with rocket members, her opinion may change, but that will still be in the future and will require a considerable push! She's a pretty optimistic person.

So yes, your ideas work great! ^^ Oh, I'd love to have a social thread where this conflict is kind of alluded to. Alex and Vera are probably friends who, upon detecting a genuine disagreement in the horizon, may lean towards tiptoeing away from it until they have to confront it. Maybe while talking about the current events in Hoenn and updating each other about their busy lives someone ends up mentioning the rockets and the conversation turns a little... sour, before the topic is hastily switched. Just an idea though! Feel free to modify it or suggest something else!

Additionally on the lighter side Vera would just love to hear about Alex's love life. I wouldn't be surprised if the man has his own fanclub somewhere!

@scott & @alexander

Oh I'm definitely thinking that these two would either be bros or Scott would think of him like the cool uncle / dad he never got? Idek, but Alex has this demeanor about him that Scott would enjoy being around. Maybe they can talk about past love failures while drinking and then start singing really dumb songs... or not, idek.

@giovanni & @alexander

But listen, I know they're on opposite sides, but why do I feel like these two would get along? Giovanni's an old soul and would enjoy hanging out with somebody who likes to just enjoy life? Idk, I'm just throwing my characters at Alex with terrible ideas because I like him it's fine.

@ainsley & @alexander

There will come a day when I don't ship her with every older guy I find on here.... but that day is not today.
I think it would be interesting to see her sort of snark at him and then try and be all sensitive and sweet and he reads through her bullshit and her get all normal and herself and maybe he's refreshed that she's not like all the other girls or maybe he's creeped out. Who even knows.

Sorry for the late reply, I’m a bastard.

Anyway, this works. Alex would be 25 and Fernando would be 18; is the latter still trying to be a trainer or has his dad called him back to get that corporate paper by that time? They could just have some run in in the wild in first case, or, I don’t know, be testing out prototype versions of the silph scope in the 2nd. Alex lives in Rustboro and has an office there, Fernando could have arranged a meeting if he wants to talk that badly. Let me know.

we could do either. i'm flexible, to an extent. depends really on what alexander would be doing imo.

prototyping is always fun if you don't mind nerdy tech threads. and, current time line meeting always works. if you don't mind short posts which rely on dialogue, i'm super down for those.
