Alfie

"The Universe itself is conscious in a way we can never truly understand. It is engaged in a search for meaning, so it breaks itself apart, investing its own consciousness in every form of life. We are the Universe, trying to figure itself out." ~ Delenn, Babylon 5 Description Standing at an average height with a lean, wiry build, Alfie moves with a purposeful gait. His features are captivating, deep set almond-shaped eyes that seem to hold the secrets of the universe within their depths. Eyes tinged with an Uncanny quality; they shimmer with a faint, ever-changing iridescence, like light shattering through a prism. Alfie's eyes tend to be a different color from moment to moment, fading through pale greens and warm ambers all the way to vibrant violets. He has no control over the shifting colors and usually wears a pair of dark glasses to hide them in public. Alfie's skin has a sun-kissed complexion, hinting at his deep connection to solar mysticism. His sharp cheekbones and sculpted cleft chin lend an air of distinction to his otherwise unassuming face. A pair of brass-framed glasses perch upon his nose, adding an intellectual touch to his appearance. His most 'glowing' feature, though, is his hair. Alfie's thick, ebony curls have a peculiar luster, as if each strand contains a glimmer of starlight. In the right light, they appear to emit a soft, ethereal glow that hints at his Uncanny Flaw. Strands of hair occasionally shift from black to an iridescent gold, like rays of sunlight filtering through dark clouds. Alfie's attire reflects his innovative nature. He typically dons bright yellow clothing, often with intricate patterns that evoke both the aesthetics of steampunk and the sun-worshiping traditions of his family. His wardrobe includes waistcoats adorned with intricate details and retrofitted glasses with darkened lenses that protect his eyes from the strange energies he harnesses. He favors long, flowing coats, which billow dramatically when he moves, adding to his otherworldly aura. Alfie owns a limitless collection of scarves, ascots and fancy ties in various materials, patterns and designs; all of which adhere to shades of yellow or warm umber. RP Hooks The Words of Carl Sagan Alfie believes that the answers to the universe are in the teachings of Carl Sagan and he carries around a copy of Pale Blue Dot like it is a holy book. Maybe you agree? Want to learn more? Let's chat about the stars! "We wish to pursue the truth no matter where it leads - but to find the truth, we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact. The cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths; of exquisite interrelationships; of the awesome machinery of nature. The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. On this shore we've learned most of what we know. Recently we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle deep, and the water seems inviting. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can. Because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." What's with the hand? Alfie carries what appears to be an umbrella handle attached to a hand prop, the hand comes in various colors and styles, from metal to wood, and acts as a stand in for physical contact.

The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees Yo ho it's hot, the sun is not a place where we could live But here on earth there'd be no life without the light it gives We need its light, we need its heat, we need its energy Without the sun, without a doubt, there'd be no you and me
