Alex has a couple clones that kinda just... Exist.

Creating a clone of yourself is something that wizards at a high enough level can do. To progress in magic, you have to practice magic, so some wizards create clones of themselves for various purposes, and then put them away after. Alex made a couple, and then just... Didn't do that.

rambling under the cut

Fuck it, all of this is under the cut. I can ramble as much as I want.

So what's generally done is that clones are created, then magic'd away. This doesn't kill the clone, it moreso... Puts that clone in storage, until a spell is cast that brings that clone back.

Alex didn't do that. Instead of putting them away, he wanted to keep them around. He sees them as separate people, so he treats them like they are, whether they look and sound like him or not.

This works since... Well, clones are never exact copies. While the appearances are near-flawless (They all have a number next to their "AP"s, and there's one huge exception I'll get to later), the personality tends to differ from the original.

If you saw this post, you'll probably know that Alex's hat is actually sentient. That's his brother, Todd. But Alex didn't make clones of Todd, he only made clones of himself. So how are there still multiple Todd's? It's not entirely accurate to call Todd a sentient hat. He's actually a sentient pocket dimension that can be accessed through an opening in the hat. All the hats on all the clones go to the same pocket dimension. So there can be multiple hats, but they all go to the same Todd. All the hats are him.

Most of the clones (two exceptions) live inside the pocket dimension. There's a dedicated "Clone Area" that all of them have access to, which consists of a lounge area that's connected to a personal room.

A, aka Alex #0 Nobody really knows exactly how A happened. Magic isn't perfect. It has the capability of creating a... Glitch, essentially. A "Clone 0" isn't meant to happen. A doesn't really do much. He doesn't really feel anything at all. He kinda just sits around, or does what he's told. Despite this, Alex is confident that he'll figure him out. He wants him to live his own life, to want things, to be his own person. But if all he really wants to do is sit around, then that's fine too.

Lex, aka Alex #2 Lex is a pretty reserved guy. He usually keeps to himself, but he likes to interact with the other clones from time to time. You can usually find him reading either in his room, or in the lounge area.

Alexei, aka Alex #3 Alexei always keeps to himself, being the shyest one in the group. He usually stays in his room on his computer. When he isn't being silent, he tends to speak very quietly. He's the kind of guy to hide behind someone else when he's near someone new. Usually Lex.

Axel, aka Alex #4 Axel doesn't live in the Clone Area. He has his own apartment in the Midopolis sector of Westerfield. He tends to be pretty awkward around new people, but he'll get pretty comfortable with you if you get to know him. He works at a restaurant, and he knows how to play a variety of instruments, and he sings better than Alex despite having the same voice. He doesn't really perform well in front of groups, preferring either a small group of people he knows well, or a camera.

Alexus, aka Alex #5 Alexus doesn't live in the Clone Area. He lives in the Stratoplane sector of Westerfield. (...Space, basically. He lives on a floating station in space.) He has a very stoic demeanor, and he works at a small vigilante organization, helping out usually within the town of Westerfield, but sometimes outside. He has a few co-workers, but that's a discussion for another time.

Al, aka Alex #6 Al is 6 inches tall. Nobody knows why. He's very cheerful most of the time. He has a very tiny room that's normal-sized for him. He's a simple guy, fascinated by the wonders of the world.

I don't know what else to say, but uh... If you have any questions or interest about my characters or lore, first of all I Love You, second of all my askbox is open and also I Love You
