Name: Alexander Attiyah (fc Aladdin)
Nickname(s): Alex, Al
Birthday: October 25; 18 yo (going on 19)
Class Year: Senior+
Drama Club Status: 1st Year Volunteer
Personality:
Alex doesn't take crap from anyone, instead forging his own rules and making his own decisions. He has a zest for life and likes looking for the humor and fun in situations. Most notable is his incurable love and talent for pulling pranks and jokes, though he can be a bit impulsive and spontaneous when it comes to his ideas. Often in situations he will liven it up with humor - even in serious ones as he doesn't like heavy atmospheres. His biggest weapon is his quick mouth, which usually gets him on the bad side of teachers and fellow classmates (especially those who belittle him or others). This has led to the detention room becoming a regular spot for him.
However he has good intentions and a kind heart. He avoids pulling pranks that cause harm and is usually quick to set things right if they get out of hand. There's little he wouldn't do to protect or support those he cares about (even if he'd deny it or play it off ;)) and he puts his friends and family first before himself. He also has a good level of confidence in who he is and isn't afraid to be his own person, not letting others talk him down or push him around. Like all teenagers, he has his moments of weakness though. And being one who prefers not to share his feelings openly with others, he usually expresses and vents his emotions through music instead.
Looks:
• Height: 5'8" ( 172.7~ cm)
• Hair Color: black
• Eye Color: dark brown
Relatively similar to his canon looks except no fez ;)
Other Notes:
• Biracial (father - middle eastern, mother - white)
Backstory:
Alex is the middle child of three siblings (1 older brother named Daniel & 1 younger sister named Emery) and comes from a loving and supportive family. Despite being smart and having the capability to be a good student, Alex didn't like sitting for hours in class or doing lots of extra busy work to prove he knew the subjects--especially when it came to classes he had absolutely no interest in. He viewed school as an empty canvas to leave his mark on in whatever way he chose, usually with pranks and sarcastic comments during class. Thus, he never made much of an effort to be on time to classes or show his work or listen to lectures. This resulted in his grades slipping gradually over the years while his reputation as the odd but charismatic detention kid at Maverick High grew and grew. Alex never truly minded though; as long as he graduated, he was fine. Even if he does have to repeat his senior year. And as for those in the school who looked down on him or ignored him, he didn't care. So long as they kept their mouth shut anyway.
But because of the negative attention he receives at school and the persona he's made for himself, he's kept a few talents to himself: main one being his skill on the guitar. Instead he chooses to practice in secret inside the service room, which his friend Andrei (the school janitor) was generous enough to share as a makeshift studio. The sole people who know about his talent is his family, Andrei, and his fellow classmate, Nancy, who stumbled upon him one day after school and asked him to practice with her. Alex agreed to help, so long as she kept his hobby a secret from everyone; after all, music is a personal outlet for him, and thus not something he openly shares. So he wants to keep it that way.
But despite their differing personalities and social statuses, Nancy has become an unlikely friend after the two bonded over their respect for music. His fellow friend Al (affectionately named "fem-Al" by Alex) is one of his classmates in crime. Their favorite activity? Driving the teachers insane with their similar nicknames though they also tend to have fun and respect the other as friends. Phillip, otherwise known as the school's Golden Boy and Student Body President, relatively tolerates most of Alex's pranks and is friendly for the most part, though the two seem to have a rugged opinion of each other at times (with Alex not having a particular liking of the guy in general). His closest friendship, however, is with the redhead Misha: a student he was once prank rivals with before banding together to form a solid, sarcastic-filled friendship you just can't buy. The two are currently leading the school (and its occupants) on a series of wild adventures, and while they're constantly full of their own teasing insults towards each other, there's no denying they care about each other as they have remained absolute best friends since and always have one another's backs.

His main hangout spot is outside on school grounds with his fellow crew of misfits, either swapping stories, kickin' back, or looking out for their own. His favorite past times (besides competing with Misha on who can pull the best joke) include skateboarding, laughing with his sister, and playing his guitar (tho secretly as he keeps that part only to himself).
Likes:
• skateboarding; • family; • pizza; • good music; • friendly competition; • jokes; • being spontaneous; • dogs

Some adventures tend to be more wild than others. Right now the principal has Alex 'serving time' as part of his consequence for too many tardies & absences (as well as a particular senior prank) that kept him from graduating last year. His sentence: volunteering to help the drama club out in their next production or risk being given in-school suspension and not being able to graduate at the end of the new year. Currently he does not have a specific role as he's a general volunteer, though his initial desire is to help with the props and setting the stage up (so he can stay as far away as possible from having to act or work the tech or deal with the drama instructor).
