Name: Alexander Eriksen
Age: 16
Gender: M
Appearance:
Ignore the fancy clothes, he isn't wearing those. Just a simple suit.
Ultimate Talent: Ultimate Chess Player
Biography: Born with a congenital heart condition, Alexander grew up with his parents constantly fussing and worrying over him. He was often not allowed to play outside or participate in strenuous activity for (oft-exaggerated) fear of heart failure, and was home-schooled, and as such became sheltered and weak. With his over-abundance of free time, he dedicated himself to his one true passion: chess. Though he played other strategy games, the deceptively simple rules of the ancient game of kings stuck with him. Soon, it was discovered that he had become something of a prodigy, and with the reluctant permission of his parents he began to play in tournaments.
To the surprise of most everyone he played against, he dominated the local tournaments, and shot up in rank. He began playing regionally, then nationally, and then globally, and was labeled one of the youngest Chess Grandmasters in history at age 14. As many of his opponents would state, his skill and talent with the game was nearly supernatural, and he seemed preternaturally calm and composed even when he seemed to be losing- a temporary state of affairs, as he kept a constant victory streak all the way to becoming Grandmaster.
Buoyed by his victories, he entered the World Chess Championship to challenge the reigning World Champion. The match was fierce. Both sides played as masters, and it lasted for hours. The stress began to mount, and Alexander found himself often short of breath. But he was too focused on the game. He would win. He had not come this far to lose. And yet…
Lose he did. Despite his skill, his focus, he had grown cocky from his constant victories. He left a critical opening in his strategy that the champion could exploit. Checkmate was called. And then, to the surprise of everyone there, Alexander collapsed. His heart condition had finally caught up to him, and the sheer stress of losing caused him to have a heart attack. He was rushed to the hospital, and the doctors there were able to stabilize him. But though his heart was saved, he remained heartbroken. It was unlikely that he would be able to challenge the world champion again. Not for several years.
Shortly after being admitted from the hospital, he received a letter in the mail, inviting him to attend a boarding school while he recovered- Hikami Academy. After a long discussion with his parents (still deeply worried after his collapse), he made his plans to travel there...
Likes: Strategy, Plans, Safety
Dislikes: Uncertainty
Worst Fear: A fatal heart attack.
Theme Song: Unfortunately, I am awful at this.
Notes: At age 14, he would NOT be the actual youngest Grandmaster in history. The youngest to achieve the position was 12. The More You Know.
Alexander is Norwegian.
I swear on my honor as the ruler of Sentinalyia that he isn't going to drop dead from a heart attack. That would be boring.

Don't wonder, you're not late. We're just making sure the roster reaches 15 to 16 students.
Alexander will guarantee that a simple heart attack wouldn't be the worst to come. ACCEPTED!
Now I will allow one or two more male students before I officially open the killing apps, or I can make another male student if no one reserves for a male student. About 1 or 2 spots left, before the apps are closed.
