Name: Boyd Alger
Nickname: Boy
Age: 55
Gender: Male
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 398lbs
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Occupation: Dean of the Alchemic Military Academy
Weapon: None; used to wield the Hand Canon
Personality: Many tend to forget that Boy is not a hero, or at least not the hero they imagine him to be. Most picture Boy as being series, brave, calm, proper, chivalrous, polite, and just an all around gentleman and warrior.
In reality Boy is crass, loud, has little shame, is arguably a womanizer, and has a somewhat short temper but makes up for this by being generally friendly. Despite having put his life at risk multiple times in the past he can be quite mellow and seems to have little concerns about what happens around him. This means that he will do inappropriate behaviours like scratching his butt, picking his nose, just general improper behaviour. Worse yet while not womanizing to a point where he will grope, he certainly leers at women and has had unstable relationships with females for a reason. When he is aggravated he can get very snippy and will yell when he is upset or frustrated with others. But as a whole despite his crass behaviour and actions he can be very friendly and easy to get along with.
Biography: Boy was nothing particularly special as a child. Being raised in the north-west at a local fishery Boy spent his youth playing, helping his father with his work, attending school, completing homework, nothing that could be considered particularly “exciting” or “bold”. Then at the age of ten Boy’s village was on the verge of being attacked. A swarm of Tarred had somehow found their way up to the North where they were ready to kill the moment they reached their village.
It looked as if no one could do a single thing about it. Then by luck a few members of the Alchemic Elite who had been chasing after the rogue Tarred swooped in just as the beasts were to attack their home. They shot down the creatures with little difficulty, saving everyone from what was thought to be an impending death. Boy from that day on had changed his plans. No longer did he want to be a fisherman, he wanted to join the Alchemic Elite and keep the Island safe.
His parents were initially resistant on the thought as even back then those who were part of the Alchemic Watch Guard had put their lives at risk to protect the towns and villages. But knowing their son well, who was a bit of a lazy child, they believed he would drop out the moment things get too tough and having the money for it they indulged him on his wish. At thirteen he was sent down south to the Alchemic Military Academy where, initially, he almost did drop out. The work was tough; the weapons confusing, and his only saving grace was his large size.
But he held through up until his nearing graduation day when things began to change. See back then there was no Hand Canon series; only the original Hand Canon which had been even bigger and heavier to a point that almost no one could wield it. They could not fine one person who fit the perfect size and shape to wield the heavy, dangerous weapon and those who could were either afraid to use it or not as strong as they appeared. But they were taking any candidates and sure enough by the age of 17 Boy was 6’6” and 360lbs. They signed him up to see if he could wield the Hand Canon and, while initially having some difficulty, he had taken to the gun well
By being one of three wielders of this powerful weapon Boy was sent out to the most difficult and troublesome missions, involuntarily making him a hero. In that time he married four times, divorced all four, had one child and then at age thirty seven decided to retire and take up an offer to work as Vice Dean. By this point the Hand Canon series had been created and more individuals could now wield the more modified Hand Canon, leaving him somewhat out of a job.
Since then he has worked at the Alchemic Military Academy just trying to keep the school going in order to keep the island safe.
