Special Extra!
Hey! So, this isn't a chapter :( but! I hope you like it anyways! I read a lot of Webtoon Comics, and something I've seen a lot of authors do is do little character profiles, and now that we've introduced all the main characters, I wanted to try it!
Hope you like it :) I had a lot of fun with it! :D
Obviously I made everything up for most of the characters, including K-Unit because there isn't a lot on them, but some of the Alex and Tom and Ben stuff is from me and some of it is from the Alex Rider wiki site
Alex Rider / Matthew Smith / Jaguar / Cub
Age: 16 (but only Fox and Tom know that) / 19
Birthday: August 17th (Leo)
Height: 5'7" (170 cm)
Personality: Quiet and serious, sarcastic, funny if you get to know him; very self-sacrificing, kind, helpful. He's super protective and ridiculously loyal, but he has trouble with his self-worth and his place in the world
Biggest Flaw: refuses to realize people want to help him; he feels like he needs to keep people at a distance because it makes him feel safer
Likes: traveling, outdoors, football, soft clothes, American music, animals, Coke
Dislikes: MI6 (duh), butter, the dark, small spaces, being alone, spiders, driving (he's too young but he's had to before and it's not his cup of tea), being taken advantage of, guns, his dark hair (he preferred it fair)

Tom Harris
Age: 16
Birthday: March 2nd (Pisces)
Height: 5'4" (162cm)
Personality: He's always cheerful and super funny, and can get along with anyone he meets. He's fiercely loyal and will do literally anything for the people important to him. Super loyal.
Biggest Flaw: he has a bad habit of hiding his real feelings because he likes making others feel good, so he often puts up fronts
Likes: football, eating out, hanging out with Jerry, ice cream, rap music
Dislikes: his parents fighting, seafood, bullies, reptiles, when Alex doesn't talk to him
Hidden Talents: he can shoot football goals with his eyes closed and make most of them even with a keeper in
Trivia: he's allergic to peanuts, he had a crush on Jack when he was nine, and his favorite color is dark orange; he also doesn't like the pressure of being captain of the football team, but he stays because everybody says he does a good job, despite that
Lion / Daniel Walker / Danny
Age: 27
Birthday: February 21st (Pisces)
Height: 6'1" (185 cm)
Personality: he has a sense of humor, but he's mostly really sincere and kind. He genuinely wants to help those around him and is incredibly loyal, like Tom (and Alex)
Biggest Flaw: sometimes he can be kind of clingy and insecure because he didn't have a lot of family growing up, so he's really attached to the ones he has now (but they don't mind so it's okay)
Likes: spending time with his family (L-Unit included), playing sports, going to church, target practice (helps him release stress), Indian food, Chinese food, animals, and surprisingly, classical music
Dislikes: oranges, alcohol, his father (who is a stain on humanity), Thai food, when Alex is being stupid about his self-worth, when his unit is in danger
Hidden Talents: he's actually really good at the piano; he could never pay for lessons, but his music teacher in high school helped him learn because he had a natural talent for it
Trivia: he loves animals but he's allergic to cats, not really a fan of heights, favorite color is sky blue, he's nondenominational and is really intentional about his faith (it really helped him get through his childhood and he's grown in it now)
Tiger / Samuel Okinawa / Sam

Birthday: March 21st (Aries)
Height: 5'10" (177cm)

Age: 28
Birthday: May 1st (Taurus)
Height: 5'10" (176cm)
Personality: abrasive and loud and generally prick-ish until you get to know him. He's kind of insecure and he can express it badly sometimes, and he likes to be in charge, but he genuinely cares about the well-being of those under him

Fox / Ben Daniels
Age: 24
Birthday: July 12th (Cancer)
Height: 6'0" (182cm)
Personality: he's really supportive, but he also gets kind of mad when people don't take care of themselves, which can be a little off-putting; he's also kind of reckless sometimes, and Wolf gets mad at him a lot. He's a really kind soul who has a hard time putting his feelings into actions, sometimes.
Biggest Flaw: he has a bad habit of doing things without thinking them through
Likes: electronic music, (secretly) K-dramas, instrumental music, running (it helps relax him and clears his head), Alex (is very protective by nature), his unit, vegetables (Eagle likes to tease him and call him a rabbit)
Dislikes: MI6, Alex's job, Alex's secrecy, Alex's entire handling of his situation, Wolf's attitude sometimes (even though he likes Wolf), being the youngest of his unit, the fact that he's still single, fruit (it's a texture thing)

Snake / Lewis Halliday
Age: 26
Birthday: December 24th (Capricorn)
Height: 5'10" (177cm)
Personality: He's really quiet and is generally a peacemaker, but he's a genuinely nice guy. He doesn't like conflict and tends to put himself in the middle of things to try to diffuse the tension (which sometimes backfires). He's kind of timid sometimes, but if you piss him off enough, that good old Scottish fighting spirit will smack you in the face. When he drinks too much, he gets really loud and laughs a lot, but he doesn't like getting drunk. He's super moral, but he's good about not pushing it onto other people.
Biggest Flaw: sometimes when he tries to diffuse situations by placing himself in conflicts, he makes it worse and then feels really bad, which makes him want to resolve the situation even more, and…yeah. Vicious cycle.
Likes: instrumental music (he and Fox can really vibe sometimes, which really ticks Eagle off), reading, making lists, going to church, his girlfriend, cleaning, organizing things, reading, studying (wants to get his medical degree after he's through with the SAS), reading his Bible
Dislikes: conflict, aggression, loud music (he and Wolf stand as a united front when Eagle has the radio), disloyalty, big crowds, outdoors (much prefers to stay in and read)
Hidden Talents: is surprisingly awesome at Scrabble because of how much he reads
Trivia: kind of a neat freak (he likes to color code things and has a place for everything), he's Roman Catholic, and he's lowkey scared of dogs (had a bad experience as a kid)
Eagle / Mason Avaria
Age: 26
Birthday: November 23rd (Sagittarius)
Height: 6'1" (185cm)
Personality: he kind of uses comedy as a coping mechanism, so he's really humorous and comedic literally all the time, and his unit calls him kind of immature because of it. Despite that, he really is a really good soldier, and he's super brave. Also REALLY compassionate and empathetic—when someone really needs to talk, he gets really serious. He also really likes drinking, but he's a chill drunk.
Biggest Flaw: Sometimes his jokes go a little too far, but he always feels really bad about it afterwards and does whatever he can to correct it. He's also kind of self-deprecating sometimes
Likes: animals, nature / outdoors, heavy metal music, his girlfriend, camping, fire (also a lowkey pyromaniac), American TV shows, Scotch (and wine), running (helps clear his head; he and Fox go running a lot)

Hidden Talents: he's actually completed three marathons and two half-marathons
Trivia: he's high key vegetarian and really owns it, he's a huge animal lover, and he and his girlfriend have been dating for four years (they got together in uni) and he's kind of considering proposing on Christmas (her name is Evie and she's a sweetie), he's Church of Christ

Whew! Okay, that was so cute and so much fun. I hope you enjoyed it!
I wanted to get this up because I'm not sure when I'll be able to post again. I'm going to try my best, but I have SO much going on this semester, especially because I have no idea still how COVID is going to impact some of my classes and my job, so…ya know. Anxiety, skyrocketing.
But I'm going to try to keep working on this story and my other stories, because I really love it and I don't want to let you guys down. Thanks so much for all your love and support and encouragement, and I'll see you soon :)
PS Let me know what you thought of these little blurbs! I'll reply to all the Guest reviews next chapter!
