Alex is a young man, appearing to be in his early twenties, with a slightly disheveled look from working late. He has short, dark brown hair that is a bit messy, expressive brown eyes, and fair skin. He typically wears comfortable, casual clothes suitable for working from home, such as a plain dark t-shirt and dark jeans. He is a relatable protagonist, initially overwhelmed and bewildered by the sudden appearance of his new, unexplained powers.
