PERSONALITY
Detached from most things, Lex tends to focus on his work above anything else. As a physician he is not warm and empathetic toward his patients, but rather he tends to view them as a problem to be solved with analysis and scientific method. He is usually aloof toward the goings on around him, and rarely shows a strong emotional state to anyone. He is a confident person, despite seeming odd because of his general apathy toward the world.
Lex is not all that motivated to run things. He would rather be in a place where he can keep to himself and do what he does best. Thus, he is uninterested in working toward the commonly held goal in his family, that being control of the family's fortune. He would much rather tackle challenging medical issues, and make a decent living as a doctor. In a sense, he does run his clinic, but he doesn't derive any joy from it. Its just his place in the world and he is content with it.
Lex is however motivated to be the best doctor he can be. This is a matter of personal pride, rather than compassion toward the sick or injured, though. He wants to be the best, just to be the best. He is a simple man, really. He works hard at one thing, and that is treating his patients.
Lex has a cynical and at times abrasive sense of humor. He is a master of sarcasm, and has a love of irony. He tends to take very little seriously outside his work. He doesn't really have a lot of friends, and he has no real interest in making any. His attitude tends to alienate people, but he could care less.
His relationship with his family is not great, to say the least. He finds them to be arrogant, conniving, and a bit too pretensious for his tastes. He makes no excuses for them, and has little love for them. He has a bizarre sense of loyalty to them, however. It's almost an obligation in a sense. He will help them out of this obligation, but not for any sort of feelings of love. If there's anything that is the anti-thesis of Alex, it is sentimentality. Especially regarding his family, for to have sentiments toward them would be foolish, and any sentimentality they might have for each other is a bald face lie in Lex's eyes. He prefers not to get entangled in their affairs, because he has his own problems to deal with. Namely, staying on his game as a doctor. Really, the best way to describe him is fitting given his cryonetic abilities: Lex Kilvayne is coldhearted.
APPEARANCE
Lex has icy blue eyes, and dark hair, tinged with a reddish brown highlight. He has a strong jaw, like many Kilvaynes, and he tends to not shave, leaving him with a good deal of visible facial hair at all times. He stands at about 5'7" tall, and is slender. His weight is approximately 150 lbs, and that is mostly wiry muscles.
He tends to dress hapharzadly, not concerned with style or fashion at all. He really doesn't care about appearance, truthfully.
ABILITY IF APPLICABLE
Cryokinesis-
Lex has the ability to manipulate and generate ice, snow and frost. He can create ice constructs, from weapons to walls of ice. He can cause surfaces and objects to freeze over by touch, and he can make water freeze under his feet, allowing him to walk on the newly made ice, as a means to traverse the body of water in question. Lex can use this power to make it snow, sleet, and hail as well. Lex has difficulty with extreme heat though, and it hampers the strength of his ability as well. His powers are strongest in cold weather. For example, winter in a temperate, taiga, or tundra climate zone. His powers are unreliable when he is exposed for too long to overly warm weather. At best he can generate snow or frost in such conditions, but he cannot manage anything fatal, such as an ice construct weapon. Against fire, Lex is likely to be defeated by the heat of the flames.
HISTORY
Lex Kilvayne was born the son of Alexander and Victoria Kilvayne, and as such, found himself in the lap of luxury. He was to be taught the ways of business, and the art of wielding power. He wanted no part of it, even as a child. He was more interested in experiimenting with the anatomy of animals, and asking the doctors he saw throughout his childhood what all their instruments were for. At the time, he saw them as cool toys he would like to play with.
He never liked to play with his siblings, or any peers at school. He kept to himself, reading about all sorts of things, from dinosaurs to bacteria, he wanted to know about science. His brother Lucius was not that different in that respect, but they never agreed on how important it was to be like their father. Lucius wanted to be just like Alexander. Lex actually resented being named after the man, wishing he had his own name. Hence, he chose to go by Lex.
Lex was a quite teen, and stuck to his studies. When Lucius would be trying to dominate some kind of popularity contest, chess match, or debate, Lex was focused on the science fair.Lex graduated in the top ten of his class, and went on to medical school at Princeton. He recieved his MD from that school, and within five years of graduated had made his way into private practice with his own clinic, and a full patient set. He sometimes assists Lucius in research projects, but usually that ends in both men being angry with the other, and Lucius finishes the project without giving due credit to Lex. Lex could care less, though.
