The reason for his cape @winged-wolf-s-collection-of-arts is that it was his grandfathers that he inherited after his death. As a sort of keep sake that he always wears! Also as for other characters I like I have a few!! There's Takma, an inccubus, Lusha who is an elf, and a few more! (dunno how much I can say since I don't want to spoil anything!)
WAIT HDGSCjhdffsd also curious about his cape!! Spillllll the details-
Any fancy trim/decorations? Does it have a collar or hood, or something else? Any tearing/damage? And how long is it?
aHHH sorry just saw this lol. His cape?? It's crimson red, reaches about to his ankles, no tears. It has a brass clasp that hold it in place, No hood or fancy trims. Just a simple cape. It's a thick material as well!

[slides into your askbox] Hello!! I wanted to ask- what kind of relationship did Alex have with his grandfather before he died? (did they know each other, what was that like)
Does he have any nonhuman traits aside from his purple right eye? Also any interesting notes- scars, jewelry, accessories besides the cape, etc-?
What kinds of spells can he cast? (I uh don’t think specific types of spells were specified anywhere-)
AH also. How old is he? (in Soleverse years, and what the irl equivalent would be)
And extra question for fun- what kind of foods does he like!! (curious to know if foods are different from irl to Soleverse-)
Of course if anything is secret or spoilery, don’t answer it fgfgjdfns
Alex had a very close relationship with his grandfather! His grandfather was pretty much one of the main ones that raised him. (his parents are pretty busy people, but still love him and his sister!) But they were really close, and for added trauma flavor his grandfather does die on his birthday for reasons related to the story lol. As for non-human traits?? Hmm, that's more of a spoiler ;) But! he does usually have on some sort of sweater vest, nerdy librarian type clothes. Always has on a duffel bag to hold his various random trinkets he carries. Also, if given any opportunity he will be eating strawberries. He's a vegetarian for health reasons, and those are his fav snacks! Also, he's colorblind! (which is unfortunate in a magic system based on colors lol) Nothing really specific. He can teleport short distances, move things, and float is his main spell. We use a softer magic system, so spells aren't always a thing. More of something they're able to do. Ages are pretty vague sometimes, but usually he is set to be around 26! His favorite snack is strawberries as I mentioned, and food? His home world is loosely based off of more Latino cultures, with some European/British cultures as well in the more denser areas. His family is primarily Latino, so he does enjoy that type of food. But he's a garbage can, and does eat whatever is handed to him as long as it's vegetarian. The worlds and such in Soleverse really are a bunch of mishmash of a bunch of different things. We were writing this when we were like 12 lol, so over the years we have tried to define things a bit more, and make things more solid. This has gone through many, many, MANY revisions through the years, and honestly it's always improving. So, please, ask anything and we will answer! (especially since i love ranting about my littler gremlins. alex is my fav, but theres a lot that i have that i love to talk about. theres a lot of characters we each have, and i love them. i always put a lot into backstories, and character creation.) (also @mintycompass is the main one who has all the magic system stuff. i am sadly dumb, and am not good at remembering the magic system fully.)

also @winged-wolf-s-collection-of-arts thanks for taking an interest in Alex! cryptid here! He's my fav lil guy. Put a lot of thought into him, and his story. So glad you're taking an interest in our story!! (please ask us questions lol with only us two writing it we don't get a whole lot of chances to just spew out facts about it)
Hey! Your Soleverse thing sounds pretty cool, I like the symbols you’ve made! We’d love to hear more about your story, and Alex ^w^ I wanted to ask, what does he/the solelinks look like?
!!!
Okay, so Soleverse is a story by me and @friendlygaycryptid, and the basic premise is this: It's a fantasy story based on an entirely fictional world (that is, a reality separate from our own) called the Soleverse. All solelinks produce pure magic in their blood, called silverium, that grants them different magical powers based on its color. That's what those symbols are!
The solelinks themselves are all very humanoid, since all races in the Soleverse descend from humans. Alex is a wizard, which in Soleverse is a race descended from "incusuccubi" (in-universe gender-neutral term for a succubus/incubus). Physically, this just affects his eye color, since wizards have higher rates of heterochromia.
Alex is a Black soul, which is the color of Space. This is a bit of a pun on his personality, he's "spacey." He's smart, but he's the kind of person to really miss the details until the right moment.
His left eye is blue, and his right eye is purple. He's blond, tan, and about 5'8. He inherited his grandfather's cape, and he's never seen without it. It's a crimson red color. As for the way he dresses, Cryptid always says he dresses like a librarian (Alex is primarily written by them). His full name is Alejandro Novak, if he was from our world he'd be Mexican.
Alex is a part of a group of solelinks called the Ambassadors, and only thing I can really say about that without getting into spoiler territory is that there are 20 of them, split into 4 groups of 5, that the story will follow as protagonists.
Yes, that's a lot of characters! That's why they're split into groups: We want to give each group its time in the spotlight. (This is a very long story!) The job of the Ambassadors is too keep the Soleverse in balance. What sets them apart is that they are able to use a higher level of magic than the average person. There's one of each color.
Alex's team is made up of himself, Shadylin, Shadow, Rick, and Aster. Shadylin is a prince and heir to the throne of his kingdom, and he is what is known as a shadow shifter: A vampire who is possessed by a spirit, which gives him the ability to shape-shift under certain conditions. Shadow is the spirit he is possessed by, previously, he was Shadylin's ancestor. Rick is a human. Aster is an angel.
I'll happily answer any Soleverse questions! We've been working on this for over 13 years now, so there's a lot there!

Imagine you work at some fucking roadside diner in buttfuck nowhere and you have to wait a table with three dudes who aren't from around here and the guy with the long hair immediately pulls out his laptop with what looks like cult shit in the web browser and asks for your worst salad option, and the guy in the trenchcoat sniffs the pepper shaker and declares the molecules to be very sharp and the guy with the greenest eyes you've ever seen calls you sweetheart and then proceeds to engage with intimate eye contact with trenchcoat to a degree that is downright indecent and then orders the heart attack special on your menu and every time you walk past their table they're talking about that gruesome murder that happened in town and the pretty guy is feeding the trenchcoat guy fries while the hair guy talks about desecrating corpses
