Personality Description:
Alasdair is a charmer, there's no doubt about it. All his life he's managed to sweet talk his way out of a lot of sticky situations without a -major- scratch. His wit is as sharp any blade, the lad always has some sort of snappy comeback and is readily prepared to cheer someone up. Alasdair has always been a creative thinker and isn't afraid to take a few risks to face fears. Deep down, Alasdair is a big soft lump. He hates to see upset or downtrodden people and will go out of his way to do something about it.
Alasdair likes to do things for himself, he hates having to rely upon other people. He's a little careful about over sharing information. He believes the people that should know would already know, but during certain circumstances, he knows when it's right to tell. Alasdair has an active mind, thus he always needs to keep himself busy. Whether that's small tasks (such as fetching water) or big missions, he has to do something else he get bored. Sometimes Alasdair just doesn't know when to stop. Whether it's his jokes, his over-protectiveness or some people even find his constant activity grating, he needs to be told to just relax.For the love of all that is holy, do not mention Scotland to Alasdair. Unless, of course, you really are interested. If not, well I did warn you!
Neat is definitely not a word Alasdair is familiar with, he's constantly misplacing things and is often found covered in mud and god-knows what. Alasdair believes a lot of things and if those beliefs are challenged then you can expect a heavy rebuttal (His mother often called him her little Terrier because he would not let go of any argument). Often described as a smotherer, Alasdair can't help but safeguard people he's attached to from harm. To the point where it can get very infuriating. Unless he's in a form of leading position, Alasdair struggles to contain his authoritative nature. He finds authority figures block his creative sense and will get very frustrated if he feels he could be doing a better job than an authority figure. Alasdair struggles to contain resent if someone wrongs him and has been known to hold a grudge for years.

History:
Alasdair originated from a Hanoverian stud farm in Scotland: where they lived until Alasdair was 11. He discovered that his younger brother Elliott, who was 6 at the time and on the Autistic spectrum, was being bullied by a group of local teenagers. Wee Alasdair 'Army-of-one' Mackay proceeded to confront the teenagers, beating one of them black and blue. One broken nose and fractured tibia later, Alasdair and one of the teenagers were both suspended for 2 weeks. When they came back, they tussled again and got expelled. He's still upset that he didn't find out about the bullying sooner and blames Elliott's timidness on himself.
Alasdair's parents decided that enough was enough and decided on an ultra fresh start. A new farm. A new country.
For years, the farm prospered and so did both boys. Elliott even managed to get into college and was doing very well. Alasdair gave college a shot and, after a lot of hard work and perseverance, managed to snag himself a degree in Scandinavian Studies due to a childhood obsession with Vikings. His degree landed him an amazing offer of a journalism job and a one way ticket to Sweden. But he didn't take it. Alasdair couldn't bear the thought of leaving his family behind and decided to stay and help on the stud farm after his father struggled with PKD His parents tried to usher him away, but Alasdair had always been settled amongst the horses.
When the emergency sounded, Alasdair was getting ready for a long haul to Elliott's college at the end of the semester. Elliott's college was one of the first places listed to stay away from. His father, realising that he wouldn't have long to live without his dialysis machine, took a trek into the country and shot himself. His mother did the same not long after.
Clinging to the hope that Elliott may have survived, Alasdair has ventured from home.
