Name: Alexander Mark Hearst
Parents: Dona Hearst and Harold Hearst
Reasons why Alex is alive: Alex is alive because he was out of state, he was out of state because he was on a mini trip with close family friends. As he was on a farm with no devices that could be used to talk to someone on the other side of the world basically no mobile devices. Only receiving the news when he was back at home.
Reasons why Bruce adopts him: Bruce adopts Alex because of his report on being into mechanics, boxing, karate and just being smarter than most in the mathematical and scientific side. As well as he built a robot out of scaps because he wanted to see if he could still make something. The robot could move and be practically R2-D2 but more friendly and larger for using as transport...
Gender: boy
My first thought of Alex: When making Alex, I realized that I needed to start from scratch. But I like the whole mechanic family along with them having nice parents. When it came to gender I wanted him to be trans but I didn't know how so I played around with it for a while in my head when I decided not to. But in sexuality, I wanted them to be Bi or Pan because I would like to see that as well as there are not many male love stories made for young justice. I still haven't decided on sexuality. But what I have thought of is that they are not in field work often making them vulnerable in the field so they have a flaw besides they are the tech even more tech than Robin.
Another thing is that they hate and fear clowns before and after the murder of his parents. Some other flaws are that he likes to give someone their own medicine and to be very stubborn when it comes to watching out for teammates as he will physically come out of the cave just to save them.
That's all I got from what I was emailed if you want more information in turn for looks he is kinda small, messy brown hair with bluish greyish eyes. He is also has a pale olive complexion.
