ISAAC's OC REVIEWs

Alexander T. McLean [F]

Please note that I ask a lot of questions throughout the review, you by no means have to answer them, they are simply to get you thinking more in-depth about your character. Enjoy!

===

Actual name: Alexander Trix McLean

Religion: Christian

[ How seriously did he take his religion?]

Reason or meaning of name: Since his parents were unmarried and wanted to go their separate ways, they named their child Alexander which means "Defender of men".

[ I'm struggling to see the correlation between his parents wanting to go separate ways and him being named "defender of men". From my point of view, it would make more sense for Alex to be called something to do with freedom or moving on. There doesn't need to be a reason for his name, especially since it's a pretty common name. It's good that you've got a reason, just a shame it doesn't quite fit together yet.

On to the middle name, if we're giving out name meanings, might as well as go full out and give the middle name's meaning as well. I'm more interested in the reasoning behind the name Trix than I am with Alexander. Think about why Alex has a middle name of Trix. How did the parents go about deciding whose last name Alex would take?]

Also known as/ Nickname: Alex

[ The realisation that I can't go 'What does Alex think about this?', 'What does Alex think about that?' has hit me... and now I'm sulking. If I can't get to know this 'mindless creature' whose one concern is self-preservation, then I'll get to know the thing that came before. What did our pre-zombified Alex think of his nickname?]

Date of birth: Jan. 29, 2012

Age:21

Age of death: 21

Date of death: April 14, 2033

Gender: Male

Species: Zombie (Obviously Alex is a zombie and zombies are mindless creatures who mainly focus on hunting, killing and eating. I have my headcanons that zombies have a herd/mob mentality and work better in groups. And that they have stronger senses and have enough strength to fall a (birch) tree as our "upper brain"-the brain that makes us choose between life or death, makes hard decisions in life and holds back your primal instincts- shuts down after dying or being infected with a zombie-like mutation. This allows humans to be primal. Did you know that a human jaw has enough power to bite off a finger like a carrot? We can do that, but our brain tells us not too because it's bad.)

[ Interesting concept, it's going on my list of favourite strong zombie reason concepts.]

Weight: 122 lbs (lost about 20 lbs due to muscle deterioration and decomposition)

Height: 5'8"

[ His pre-zombie, as well as the current height and weight, are fine, nice detail with his weight loss due to decomposition.]

Current location: New South Wales, Australia

Age they appear: 17/19

Body build: Swimmer, lean.

[ Seems like an ectomorph.]

Glasses or contacts: Contacts

[ I hope Alex died with his contacts in, we get to look at the delightfully {brutal} side effects of over wearing your contacts if he did.
