Alejandro Mateo
Azure

The alarm went off, the sound of music filling the room slowly over time. Nothing stired in the darkness of the room for a moment, until a hand poked out from under a mound of blankets. Fingers moving along the nightstand, until they came upon the snooze button. Pushing down, he arm then flopped down against the side of the bed, as a groan was emmited from the pile of blankets. Mornings...not Alejandro Lucas Mateo's strong point. He had never been a fan of waking up at the crack of dawn, but had been used to it when he was training back in the day...and for normal school...back when he was normal. A knock came to the door. "Al..sweety, you up?" a woman asked from the other side. The top of a head finally poked out, dark brown hair a bit of a mess "ya, I'm up."

He slowly pushed away the covers, standing before he pushed his arms above him to streatch. He moved to the mirror for a moment, to look at himself. He was handsome...a bit odd, but handsome. His skin had a light tan to it, his hair of course brown. His eyes were a deep electric blue. His figure was not overly muscular, but he was slim and lean. One could definitely see abbs and other muscles along his chest, arms and legs. He had been told even if he did not work out, he would not retain much fat. This was due to his race having a higher metabolism than many others. His race...felt so weird to say that. By all accounts, it was not hard to tell on the surface that he was not fully hispanic like his mother. He had never felt like his name 'Alejandro' fit quite with the face.

No one ever used his full name unless they were a strict teacher or authority figure, or he was in trouble. Other than that, most people tended to call him Al, or by his middle name Lucas. He was even used to being called Blue by his closest friends. Many who first met him, might think Blue came from his eyes. His mother had been deep tan, long beautiful black hair and dark eyes. His father had lighter brown hair and the same eyes as Alejandro. That was where he got most of his looks from. His father had gone under the cover of being french and english...which is where the middle and last name came from. There were variations of the two in both languages. His mother had been the one to choose the first name, wanting something traditional while fresh. He rolled his eyes, turning to the closet. He had used to think his father had deserted him.

It was not till later, he learned the truth. His father was not french or english...his father was a Nunnhei. Nunnhei was an indian word, meaning Changeling. This was given to the race by many of the earlier people who inhabited earth, since the true name seemed to be a mystery, or at least not translate well. They were able to take on similar appearances, to blend in with the surrounding population, which had given them their name. They were also a race of evolution, constantly learning and evolving....changing with time to grow. Alejandro had learned about all this one night when he had fallen off of a cliff and literally had to fly or die. From there, life had been a rollar coaster. He sighed, pulling a dark pair of jeans and a light blue shirt from hangers. He took a quick shower, before changing. He brushed his teeth, ran a hand through his hair and pulled on his black boots.

Grabbing his bag, he was down the stairs in an instant. He moved into the kitchen, where a beautiful blond woman was making pancakes. She smiled, turning hazel eyes on him. "Hungry?" she asked. He flashed a perfect smile, grabbing an apple from the fruit basket on the counter. "Wish I could, but I got a major test to finish studying for before class" he messed up the hair of a young boy of five sitting at the table. The boy had the same blond hair as his mom, but the darker brown eyes of a man who just walked in. The man tall and handsome, he had a form that while warm, commanded respect. His hair dark brown, he kissed his wife before greeting the boys. This was his foster family...his home. The parents were agents of the GDP, they knew all about the YJA and heros.

They knew about him...and they still cared for him. They treated him like their son, even though he wasn't. The man turned to look at him, "heading out already? Want a ride?" Alejandro nodded, "that would be awesome, thanks." The two were off, and it was not to long, before Alejandro was stepping through the doors of the school. His eyes moved along the halls, many students already out and about. He was still so surprised to be here...to be a part of all of this. He turned and headed to the library, where he spent his morning studying. That was, until the incident. He knew the people involved. Eliseo was the head of the Discipline Committee...the female he had class with. The others he might have seen before but, he was still relatively new here. He had only been here a month.

Dispite having already made quite a stir and some good friends, he was still really new to a lot of things. He had not even been in the arena yet. Many asked what his powers were, why he did not show them. He played it off as adjusting and stuff, but truth was, he was a bit afraid. He did not remamber much of a certain night, but his powers had been the cause of some trouble...big trouble. That was why he was here. He had spent months on the run, before being found by the GDP. They had cleared him, and basically taken him off the grid. He was now under protective custody, and his information on a need to know basis. It was all in many ways surreal, still like a dream to him.

This was all to odd. He moved through the day, following classes that he was getting more familiar with. He managed to slip into class before the door closed. Moments later a guy was busting through the door and confessing his love for some girl, who looked like she just wished to vanish. He chuckled a little bit, at the furry dude's comment. His name was...Koa right? He did not remember exactly. The class got more focused, but before long, the flamboyant male from before was up, saying he had to leave and take Koa with him. What was up with that? Curiosity perked in Alejandro...though, it really wasnt any of his business.
