Alexander Fusky

Alexander "Alex" Dorian Fusky (né de Vos) (Afrikaans pronunciation of his birth name: alɛksandər dɔrian də fɔs) (born May 9, 1997 in South Africa) is the main character of Alex's Furry Universe's Alex x Vanessa arc. He is based on the real-life creator of AFU and as such, is used as his fursona.

Early life & background
NOTE: This does not reflect the real-life Alex's background.

Alex was born Alexander Dorian de Vos in a farm in Free State, South Africa, just miles away from Bloemfontein. His first memories of operating vehicles were moving the tractor and driving his father's Toyota truck (or bakkie as they call it in SA) around the land. Due to the rise of farm murders, the de Vosse had to flee the place and settle in a major city in Gauteng province. As such, Alex was entirely educated in South Africa, even though he externally learned American English from American movies and the internet, access to which he had gotten in the mid-2000s.

In high school, he dated Lola Voster, a vixen with genetic bad luck. Because of her bad luck, Alex and Lola were bullied and harassed badly that both have had to move schools and break up, with Lola moving to the US later on. Life at the new school seemed to go well for Alex, and upon graduating high school, he received a Honda CR-X as a graduation gift. In 2016, he started college studying mechanical engineering but also street raced for some time. He once got in trouble from the city police and his parents for it and so, he gave up on it. Moreover, in 2018, Alex got an associate degree in mechanical engineering, enabling him to immigrate to the US and leave his parents behind.

Upon his arrival there, he lived in Oklahoma to advocate for Lola's death that happened in the same year. Also, he bought a 2004 Honda Civic Si and street raced to earn some money, combined with earning money from working at a tire shop, knowing that his parents weren't there to get him into trouble and that he lived as a free man in a free country. One year later, in 2019, he decided to depart Oklahoma. He never knew his destination, and even if he considered living in Illinois or Wisconsin, he decided that neither weren't for him. He decided to drive through the southeastern US, and in Louisiana, his car sustained damage from a huge pothole. Fortunately, it was repaired. Having arrived in northern Florida, he used an internet café and met a particular person on the internet, Haile the Deer. Haile was based in Feliza Beach and gave tips on dating advice as Alex was on the lookout for a new lover. He even promised that Feliza Beach had pretty women, and so Alex decided that was his next place to live.

Appearance
Alex's appearance is supposed to mirror his real-life appearance. He has long brown hair, a mole near his left eye, and on his left cheek. There are some differences in his build, though. His fox form is more muscular and a bit taller in height. His attire consists of a black t-shirt and blue jeans or loose-fitting shorts. Paired with the blue jeans are brown work boots and with the shorts are Havaianas flip-flops. When it's really hot, Alex is shirtless. To protect his eyes from the sun, he may wear sunglasses with blue lenses and a white frame.

Since his marriage to Vanessa, he has been wearing a bespoke wedding ring on his left ring finger, the design of which consists of flame symbols on the outside and snowflake symbols on the inside. Vanessa's wedding ring is the opposite.

Personality
Alex is a kind-hearted man, though he has been shown to be pushy and have anger issues. Despite his appearance, he's known to be a sensitive man. He is also known to be loyal and as such, will do anything to make his family and friends happy.
