Alessio's full name:
Alessio Edward Lichester-Raven
Alessio's full name at birth:
Alessio Edward Raven
Alessio's name history:
Alessio Edward Raven, Alessio Edward Vittori, Alessio Edward Lichester-Raven
Reason or meaning of name:
Alessio is an Italian male name, meaning Defender. Edward is an English male name, meaning Wealthy guardian, while his birth last name was Raven, an English name meaning black haired. However, he changed his last name to his mother's maiden name at the age of twenty-two. Vittori is an Italian name meaning Victory, Conqueror. Lichester is a bastardised form of Leicester, which has the Latin meaning of From the Legion's Camp.
Name Pronunciation:
Ah les see o - Ed word - Li ches ter - Rav en
Titles:
Mister.
Opinion Of Name:
Alessio holds no real opinion of his name. He is not fond of the reasoning behind it, however, as he finds the concept of being named after his paternal grandfather both insulting and boring, but is grateful to have had the name Alexis Italian-ised to Alessio, as he prefers it to the English Alexis. His finds the meaning of his names quite suitable, as he finds himself rather a protective, especially with regards to his kin, as well as a very wealthy guardian. His last name is a point of some contention, however. He dislikes the hyphen involved, as to him it suggests as if there is a rip in the family he is now establishing. He would have much referred Lichester, but his husband refused for it to stand alone, and Alessio wanted to drop the Vittori. Therefore, he is now Mister Lichester-Raven, but introduces himself as Alessio Lichester simply to avoid the hyphen.
Alessio's nickname/s:
Aless, Minunat, Dragostea Mea
Reason for nickname:
Aless
Ales, Alice
Laziness. It is not a common nickname, and most people would not shorten his name - just as he would not allow people to shorten his name. He does not appreciate being called anything but his proper name, but there are, however, exceptions to the rule. More often than not he will seek to correct people who seek to shorten his name for no apparent reason, but if it is merely a mispronunciation, he is often happy to leave it be.
Minunat, Dragostea Mea
Minu, Moo, Dragu, Dra
A pet name. Alessio does not know the term's meaning, nor does he seek to. It worries him not whether it is a compliment or an insult, but rather likes how it is said. The tone speaks more of its endearment than the meaning ever could, in his opinion. It is used by his partner, Robin Lichester.
Playby:
Benedict Cumberbatch. (Ages 32 -present)
Sex and Gender:
Alessio was born male, and identifies as male.
Birth date:
The seventeenth of February two thousand and six.
Weight:
58.7 Kilos
Height:
Just over 6'3
Somatotype:
Alessio has an ectomorphic body type, meaning his physique is of the more fragile and delicate types. Ectomorphs often have issue with regards to gaining weight, especially muscle mass, and are characterised by light bones, small joints and long limbs when compared to the droop of their shoulders. Alessio often looks taller than his already considerable height because of the lack of muscle development along his limbs. Alessio happens to be the typical ectomorph: long fingers, flat chest, toes and neck, sharp features, easily burned skin, triangular face, sensitivity to the cold and slightly receded jawline. Whenever in his past Alessio gained weight, it was through immense effort. However, unfortunately for him his past fitness has dwindled down to barely nothing beyond what he gains from regular activities.
Shape of face:
Alessio has a long face, with a pointed chin, high cheek bones, and a prominent nose that is tilted slightly upwards. His face is all angles and edges, sharp and defined in areas that give it an odd shape. His face is much like his body, long, thin and gaunt. He does not carry much weight on his face, and this brings attention to his already sharp cheekbones, causing them to appear even more so. His lips are as angled as he rest of him, while his eyes are deep-set and slightly small, yet still piercing. His heavy eyebrows shadow over his eyes, drawing them to notice. His tendency to hold eye-contact can lead them to being intimidating, and he often uses this, as well as his advanced height, to his advantage.
Eye color:
Alessio has light coloured eyes.
Whilst generally considered uncommon for his demographic, having light eyes is not uncommon for members of his family. Whilst a native Italian, his paternal heritage is English, taking roots in areas of Europe such as Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden and Finland. His maternal heritage is prominently Northern Italian, and draws roots from areas such as France, Russia, Germany and Bulgaria. Alessio's eyes most frequently appear along the blue-grey spectrum, but light cast upon them can highlight many individual aspects of colour in his iris, causing his eyes to, at times, appear aqua, or green. His eyes are in good condition, having no need of spectacles or any other assistance. Whilst not overtly 'cold', coupled with the shades of his eyebrows and skin, his eyes do nothing to soften his appearance, though there are situations where his eyes can show his emotions - should he allow them.
Skin:
Alessio has very fair skin that has a strong tendency towards burning. He avoids direct sunlight as best he can, and has always done so throughout his life. Whilst this can lead to Vitamin D deficiency, he does on occasion allow himself to soak up some sunlight to avoid this. He has light freckles sprinkled sparsely on his arms, but otherwise he has few freckles anywhere else. He has worry-lines on his forehead from his naturally pensive facial expression, and tends to have some shadows under his eyes from his unique sleeping pattern. Because of Alessio's rigorous care of his skin, this tends to backfire with it being very healthy and soft, but also prone to blemishes and sensitivity towards rougher surfaces and textures.
Hands:
Alessio's fingers are long and slender, and very much match his body shape. From general living and working, his hands have a slightly rougher texture than the majority of his skin, but are by no means the hands of a 'worker'. He is more likely to use magic for most tasks, though will most often clean (for example) with his hands, and so they are used for menial tasks on occasion. However, most frequently his hands will be used to play instruments, use his wand, or paint, leading to his fingers being rougher than his palms. His hands are well-kept, with his nails healthy and trimmed, and kept free of dirt. In short, Alessio's hands are as clean and groomed as the rest of him, and would be described as pianists' hands - long, delicate and slender.
Other features:
Alessio has a scar just above his hairline which he received as a child, after splitting his head on hard pavement. This scar is completely covered by his thick hair. He has a scar on the right side of his neck from his work as a curse breaker, as well as a few smaller scars sprinkled along his body from similar work incidents. He has a birth mark on his wrist that appears to be a darkened blemish. His body is without tattoos or piercings, finding the concept of having either on his flesh distasteful. He has light freckles on his arms, which are a few shades darker than the rest of his skin from sun exposure.
Ticklish:
Alessio is ticklish around his abdominal and pectoral muscles. The soles of his feet are also sensitive, as well as the palms of his hands.
Hair:
Alessio's hair is thick and wavy. The longer it grows, the more the waves transition to curls. Whilst he holds a neutral opinion of his curls and does not brush them out, he prefers to keep them rather short and never allows them to look untamed. His natural hair colour is a light blonde, however he has dyed his hair to numerous other colours throughout the years. He became brunette when he was thirty-two years old, considering the act as a sort of 'restart' for the next cycle of life, having previously been auburn for eight years. Being rather vain, he takes very good care of his hair, but does not take much time in styling it. Hairstyle is something that does not bother him much, but he likes his hair to be practical and not interfere with his work. His hair is currently short at the sides and back, with curls and waves on the top of his head. He doesn't have much tolerance for body hair, especially when it comes to facial hair, and so has remained clean-shaven for the greater majority of his life.
Voice:
Alessio has a rich, baritone voice. He can swing from verbose to laconic, but always speaks levelly, with an even tone and makes a point to not raise his voice when angry or upset. His words are often carefully chosen, and spoken as clearly as he can manage, unless he is speaking a foreign language where he may bungle the pronunciation. He is much more likely to 'speak' louder with his actions, rather than his words, and so is often rather quiet in most situations and takes the role of observer. Having grown up in Italy, and spending most of his life in the Tuscan area, Alessio bears this accent very strongly. Unfortunately for the proud Italian, he tends to naturally pick up accents from where he resides, and through many years of living in London, his accent has shifted slightly. The largest change in accent, however, is from his partner, Robin Lichester-Raven, whose eclectic range of accents has had an impact on Alessio's own accent. He has reasonable impersonation skills, being able to mimic many accents. However, the accent he is most comfortable with is his own.
Usual body posture:
Posture and self-presentation are very important to Alessio, therefore, he is often spotted with a rather stiff, well-held stance. His posture is impeccable given any situation beyond sleeping, and he finds a relaxed posture to be a lazy one.
Stride:
Alessio's walk is characteristic of his raising and personality. His height has no impact on his back arch, and he remains with his head held high and chest outward, instilling a sense of confidence and prestige. His gait is rather stiff and unanimated, as well as very balanced. He does not allow a misstep or blunder, and walks with grace and care. His uncompromising walk can bring about neck troubles from anchoring his face downwards when communicating with shorter people, as well as bring about issues with those few that may tower him - his walk and stance giving little room for him to crane his neck upward. This walk requires him to hold a certain amount of distance between himself and others unless they happen to share his walk and height, and this suits him perfectly. The space is for his comfort and demanded through his closed off posture and air of superiority presented through his walk. He is more graceful than sauntering, and his pace is somewhat calm during a regular wander.
Mannerisms:
Alessio is not very animated during conversation. The more he grows to like someone, the more affectionate with his movements he becomes, and the more willing he is to reveal his more emotional side (yes, there is one). Otherwise, he will remain stoic and distant under all situations. When agitated, he may massage his hands and pinch the bridge of his nose if he's particularly annoyed. When concerned, or being diplomatic, his arms will often be behind his back and flexing. When embarrassed he may sigh silently, but otherwise his tells are few and far between.
Dominant Hand:
Alessio is naturally left handed, however, he taught himself to be able to write with his right hand after years of smudging his ink when writing. His writing by his right hand isn't as attractive as the writing with his left, but he will most frequently use his right hand.
Usual fashion of dress:
Summer
During the Summer, Alessio is most often found working, and so his wardrobe is less elaborate, and more practical than other seasons. He will often be found in work robes, which are characteristically dark, and very light. Because of the heat, this is the season he will look most dishevelled (though this is not saying much), and will have a few buttons on his shirts undone, be without jackets, robes or scarfs, and honestly might forgo getting properly dressed at all. Working with oil paints means that he does not wear his nicer outfits that would be ruined by his work materials, and so has several aprons to wear. Under these aprons, he will most often be wearing one of his gowns, which during this time of year are a light cashmere, rather than his thick cotton one for winter.
Autumn
This is similar for Autumn, as well. Whilst the months are slightly colder, he will have warmer slippers to help fight off the chilly mornings and nights. However, when going out he will often dress in layers that can be easily put on and off to account for the sometimes seesaw weather of his home. Jackets, scarves, long trousers and gloves are most often in use, mostly in subdued colours, with no patterns, unless the odd light or far-spread pattern. No fabric is heavy, with each being rather light, but with each layer together, he gains significant warmth. The scarf will often be the most colourful thing of the outfit.
Winter
Because of the colder months, winter is also a major work-orientated season for him, and he works the most during this season. At this time it is much more comfortable to be wearing his old curse-breaking work robes, and so with winter comes a drop in colour. During winter is also when he does a touch of consulting with the local bank on the status of magical items that need curses removed, and so will spend less time at home than in other seasons. Home is the same as always, though with a thicker dressing gown over whatever it happened to be that he fell asleep in, and when not working he will mostly remain in a dressing gown, as winter is not the time he likes going out in.
Spring
Alessios favourite season is spring. Being fortunate enough to not suffer from allergies or hay fever, spring brings a lot of gentle sunlight that he rather likes, and instils colour back into the wardrobe. Lighter coloured trousers, robes and scarfs are often in use, as well as a lot more white than previous, in the way of shirts. Suspenders may be worn, and this is the season he forgoes the boots to have suede or leather shoes. He does not often work in spring, and so this is very much his relaxation time and the most colourful period of the year. Alessio is somewhat of a recluse, however, he is more willing to leave his home in Spring.
Overall
In generally day-to-day functioning, Alessio will take on a smart-casual (aligning more to smart) attire, and does not forgo practicality for elegance when it comes to fashion. When attending formal events, he will almost strictly be in robes, and depending on the situation, these robes can range from subtle, elegant outfits, to more dandy, elaborately embroidered ones.
Jewellery or accessories:
Alessio wears no jewellery, except a leather band around his wrist that he has grown quite fond of over the years, but it otherwise holds no meaning, and his wedding ring. He will wear cufflinks, and the occasional ring, but his most frequent accessories are his belts, scarves, ties and watches. During work or cleaning, he wears gloves.
Spending Habits:
Alessio's spending habits are very good. He knows the difference between need and want, and spends within his means. He is not afraid to spend a lot on items he deems worthy of it, and will not sacrifice comfort for price, but it is rare for him to blow vast quantities of money on a simple item he could either make himself, or get elsewhere at a more reasonable price. He is very practical with his finances, but will occasionally indulge with gift buying for people close to him. He tends to prefer going to the direct source of items he likes, as he believes in supporting home-grown talent and producers.
Traditions:
Alessio does not hold many traditions. He doesn't really bother with things like that, although he does prefer for all meals under his roof to be consumed by the family, for the family, with the family. Food is brought to the table, and it is eaten at the table, or not eaten at all.
Superstitions:
Alessio has no superstitions.
Love Style:
Agape.
Alessio naturally tends to love in the agapic style. He prefers to take care of people close to him, and this can lead him to being a little controlling of people he loves. He's faithful and altruistic, often overlooking minor misdemeanours that they may perform, which he would otherwise come down on if done by another. It is a rather unconditional love, once formed, and can be taken advantage of. However, Alessio is not easily swayed in the first place and can be considered a rather guarded man. He can tend to forget about his own needs, putting the needs of whomever he should love above them. He can cause others to feel incompetent through his hyper-reliability, something he doesn't quite understand, nor sympathise with.
Nervous ticks:
Alessio tends to play with his food (if there is some) when he is nervous, bored, or waiting, seeking some sort of distraction to pass the time. Otherwise, he tends to flex his forearms and hands behind his back during speech, and will occasionally scratch at his neck, just under his ear if nervous.
Grooming:
Alessio keeps himself clean-shaven and always has a well-kept appearance, with his hair neat and body kept clean, healthy, and smelling fresh. His hair is styled, washed thoroughly, and trimmed, as he doesnt like it falling to disarray. His clothes are clean and well-fitted, being neither too small nor baggy on him. Because of this, he looks clean, and has an appeasing body odour that is generally more aligned to coconut - one of his preferred fragrances.
Memory:
Alessio has sound mental and reflex memory.
Preferred Sense:
Alessio's preferred sense is touch, and sight. He prefers to use these senses when seeking to enjoy an activity or item, as he loves looking and touching new, interesting things. He looks with his fingers as much as his eyes, and relies on these two senses the most. A close second is his sense of hearing.
Allergies:
Alessio has no allergens.
Ailments:
Alessio has hypotension.
Hypotension, in other words, is low blood pressure. This is not a life-threatening ailment, nor is it particularly life changing in his case. He has a mild form, characterised by occasionally light-headedness, occasional fatigue, nausea, shallow breathing and more demanding thirst. For him, it is not a case of how low his blood pressure is - it is how quickly it drops. Whilst his blood pressure is at a constant lower-than-average for his size and sex, he is brought no harm from this.
Disabilities:
Alessio has no disabilities.
Diet:
Alessio's diet consists mostly of fruit and vegetables. He prefers small meals that can be eaten on the go, and quickly, so he needs them to be light. Freshly cut fruit, for him, is most efficient. He does eat proper meals, of course, but these will mostly be fruit or pasta orientated. He does not consume much along the lines of seafood, or poultry, as he does not especially like these food groups. He does not consume much red meat, either, although pork is a favourite of his. He enjoys nuts and dried fruits, and does not like his food to be too salty. He prefers sweet food over spicy food, and whilst he would never admit it, he quite likes desserts.
Health Status:
After a recent diet-change, Alessio is rather sickly, prone to illness such as influenza. However, he is slowly gaining his strength back, though it is taking its time with him.
Good personality traits:
Alessio is methodical, and serious. He is very stable emotionally, and rarely overreacts to situations. Instead, he can often look at them seriously, and avoid becoming biased. He is a rather generous person, and polite until he sees reason not to be. He will often give the benefit of the doubt at least once where appropriate.
Bad personality traits:
Alessio is a bottler, and when things bother him, he does not speak of them. Being a private person can cause him to be emotionally distant from others at times, and he does not like outward or public displays of emotion - whether it be affection, happiness, or sadness. He can be very stubborn, and unyielding, believing that because he is impartial, he is right. He can tend to get controlling, and has difficulty allowing others to take charge of things affecting his life. He is unforgiving, and does not take well to liars. First impressions are everything to him, and he can tend to hold onto these more than necessary. He can come off as rather frivolous, which he can be, and takes a flippant approach to almost all areas of life, in that he will 'go with the flow' and can be more reactive than proactive at times.
Most common mood:
Alessio is most often calm.
Sense of humour:
Alessio has a broad sense of humour, and finds great pleasure in watching people be sarcastic and show humour through witticisms and jest, as opposed to outright jokes. While a serious man, he does hold an appreciation for mischief and finds most mischievous deeds driven by extreme confidence rather bold and entertaining. He personally enjoys teasing and wit, and when in a private setting can give as good as he gets. Outside of a private setting, however, and one would assume him humourless.
Alessio's greatest joy in life:
Alessio's greatest joy in life is being able to celebrate it with people he cares about. He is by no means a solitary person, regardless of how reserved he seems, and enjoys small get-togethers that are intimate and private, rather than having large functions where he has to work a room. He has a small nurturing streak that he likes to indulge, and this is what brings him the most joy.
Alessio's little joys:
Alessio enjoys looking at sunsets. Whenever in a bad mood that cannot be fixed by any of his stress-relievers, taking time to watch a sunset is deeply calming for him. Another thing he enjoys is playing jokes on his current partner, Robin Lichester, whom he takes great pleasure in out-smarting. It is childish, but his boyfriend seems to take it in stride.
Alessio's greatest fear/s:
Disappointment, Commitment, Unrequited Love, and Failure.
Why?
Alessio hates being disappointed about as much as he hates disappointing others. He is a harsh man and expects the very best from others in all aspects of their shared life with him. Failure for them to meet his standards is hard for him to deal with, as it has lost him oppurtunities in relationships in the past. Disappointment means that he needs to reevaluate the person's worth, as well as knowing that he has miscalculated their capabilities which, to him, is a gross misstep.
Alessio is uncomfortable with commitment as he doesn't like the symbiotic reliance. He prefers to be in control and taking care of everything, and doesn't like finding himself stuck in the same situations. He likes 'refreshing' situations, and doesn't like being in stagnant environments. He is known to sabotage calm situations simply to put them back together, and this translates to sabotaging happy relationships with others in order to forge new ones, as well as disturbing otherwise 'perfect' environments in order to perfect them once more.
Perhaps the most active of his fears, Alessio finds the imbalance of unrequited love particularly harrowing. The type of love can and does include familial, as well as romantic, and he treats both with equal caution. He finds the more distressing part about unrequited love being that the individual who is loved but does not love has a certain amount of influence with those that love them. Being subjected to this sort of dynamic is something he actively avoids.
Alessio cannot stand failing, as he sees it as a reflection on himself as a person, rather than the action he tried to do. Failure is unacceptable, and in his eyes, leaves an irreparable stain on one's sense of self. Because of this, he has a deep-seated discomfort of anything that is not success, and cannot handle with being second best.
Most ill at ease when:
Alessio is most ill at ease when he is with more than one person. Even among people he knows and likes, he becomes quiet and reserved, as he does not like group conversations, being the centre of attention, or being anything akin to an extrovert. Among groups of friends, the kindest they can do is allow him to become part of the scenery whilst if someone wants to ruin his day, they can give any comment about something he deems personal.
Patience level:
Alessio is a very patient man.
General sociability
Alessio is not the most social of wizards. He is not proactive in his approach to conversation, and rarely initiates communication with strangers, or even friends or family. He is not unsociable, rather he will make little effort to start a social situation, but once began he will carry it along if he sees point to it.
Enraged when:
Alessio is most enraged when someone patronises him, or questions his decisions on the assumption that he cannot make them himself. He finds this incredibly insulting and would only tolerate such things from certain people, as he is meticulous in all decisions he makes, weighing the benefits and drawbacks, and decides to take 'risks' only after they are considered. The concept of appearing abrupt or frivolous is foreign to him, as he alone knows how much thought went into each decision. Furthermore, if someone harms one of his kin, he becomes quite aggressive and overprotective. Related to this, should someone show a disregard for their own family, or someone/thing that Alessio deems they ought to care about, he will often be quite agitated.
Priorities:
Alessio's number one priority is taking care of himself, and whomever happens to be in his care at the time. His second is the rest of his family. Regardless of whether officially he is still part of his family, he manages to stay in contact with the majority of them and helps them out whenever it is needed. Regardless of what he likes to think, he is not a solidary entity and cannot go through life without being needed, and so his priorities often involve making sure that someone else is being cared for.
If granted one wish, it would be:
Alessio would not wish for anything. He would give his wish to another after careful consideration.
Why?
Alessio does not believe that anything should be gained without some level of work involved. He has had to work for what he has, and he would feel cheated if gifted anything through a wish. Therefore, he would give the wish to someone else that has worked for what they have, and give them a break from their work. He, himself, however, would never accept this. He must always be working towards something to remain fulfilled.
Alessio's soft spot:
Alessio's soft spot is anyone or thing that he happens to have in his care at the time. He is protective, and once he accepts something, he will take it under his wing and keep it safe as he possibly can. He tends to give out tough love, however, and his emotional ineptitude can make him appear as if he doesn't care about anything that is close to him, and whilst this is not entirely intentional, he is self-aware enough to know that he doesn't suffer the emotions of others gladly but takes little action to correct this. People and creatures that are close to him tend to have a lot of flexibility, and can get away with a lot more than the average person or animal would when in his presence, and this is what makes them his 'soft spot'.
Greatest strength:
Alessio's greatest strength is his self-assuredness. He will rarely if ever question himself, and has never found himself at a loss as to what to do next. He is a planner, and this gives him considerable comfort, knowing that he is prepared for surprises and has a security blanket of sorts. His confidence is also one of his greatest strengths, as whilst he is introverted, he is not easily intimidated as he knows his limits, and prides himself on being able to read situations well. Whilst not an overly aggressive man, and by no means violent, he considers his magical prowess to also be a strength.
Greatest weakness:
Alessio's greatest weakness is his tendency to be emotionally shallow and distant. Alessio plays his cards close to his chest, and has a near-unbeatable poker-face, keeping himself and his emotions in control at most times. This can pose problems when making and retaining relationships. He can be incredibly inflexible, his word often seeming like a binding contract in his eyes, as his promises, once given, are not broken.
Biggest regret:
Alessio tends to disallow regrets. He allows the past to impact him only in a teaching aspect, reminding him of what worked and what didn't. However, beside himself, he still has a few regrets, such as relationships he wished he never had, and decisions he wished he had made differently, such as the one to leave his family. He tries to never dwell, however, and would rather not speak of them.
Biggest accomplishment:
Alessio's biggest accomplishment was becoming an occlumens and there is never a point in which he regrets it.
Alessio's darkest secret:
Alessio drinks more than he lets others see.
Does anyone else know?
Not many know for sure, though few suspect.
Boggart:
Alessio's boggart is a dementor. He finds nothing more unnerving that a being that absorbs all the happiness from him, before finally taking his soul. Fortunately, he is also capable of conjuring a powerful patronus, and so whilst weary of their existence, has never needed to be too concerned should he meet one.
<B>How Alessio feels about himself:
Alessio knows his flaws all too well, but is by no means self-conscious. He has a cold belief that he is expendable, and knows all too well of his own mortality. He feels rather neutral towards himself, though has some disappointments that plague him, but these are often weighed evenly with what he is proud of with regards to himself. He has his principles and stands by them, and so has a decent, though not exploded, opinion of himself.
One word Alessio would use to describe himself:
Difficult.
What does Alessio consider his best personality trait?
Alessio considers his patience to be his best trait. He rarely rushes into situations without thinking them through, and does not lose himself in the moment. If can make him difficult to relate to, but he has never made a mistake from sheer loss of control and frustration.
What does Alessio consider his worst personality trait?
Alessio feels that his worst personality trait is that he is remarkably flippant about all things. Nearly a complete opposite to patience, he can take things in a shallow depth, only scratching the surface before implementing his own opinions and plans. He holds little care for things that others would find important, such as money, and only ever values his time. He weighs the possibilities or scenarios against what he could lose and what he could gain, without worrying all that much about the drawbacks of his decisions once they are made.
What does Alessio consider his best physical characteristic?
His hands.
What does Alessio consider his worst physical characteristic?
His nose.
How does Alessio think others perceive him?:
Alessio thinks others see him as rather stoic. They're right, of course, and this is how he prefers it. Although, he does also realise that he can come off as uptight and cold, but does not see this as such a huge concern that he would go out of his way to change.
What would Alessio most like to change about himself?:
Alessio would make himself a metamorphmagus so he could hide from people better.<i></i>

Alessio's name history:
Alessio Edward Raven, Alessio Edward Vittori, Alessio Edward Lichester-Raven
Reason or meaning of name:
Alessio is an Italian male name, meaning Defender. Edward is an English male name, meaning Wealthy guardian, while his birth last name was Raven, an English name meaning black haired. However, he changed his last name to his mother's maiden name at the age of twenty-two. Vittori is an Italian name meaning Victory, Conqueror. Lichester is a bastardised form of Leicester, which has the Latin meaning of From the Legion's Camp.
Name Pronunciation:
Ah les see o - Ed word - Li ches ter - Rav en
Titles:
Mister.
Opinion Of Name:
Alessio holds no real opinion of his name. He is not fond of the reasoning behind it, however, as he finds the concept of being named after his paternal grandfather both insulting and boring, but is grateful to have had the name Alexis Italian-ised to Alessio, as he prefers it to the English Alexis. His finds the meaning of his names quite suitable, as he finds himself rather a protective, especially with regards to his kin, as well as a very wealthy guardian. His last name is a point of some contention, however. He dislikes the hyphen involved, as to him it suggests as if there is a rip in the family he is now establishing. He would have much referred Lichester, but his husband refused for it to stand alone, and Alessio wanted to drop the Vittori. Therefore, he is now Mister Lichester-Raven, but introduces himself as Alessio Lichester simply to avoid the hyphen.

Laziness. It is not a common nickname, and most people would not shorten his name - just as he would not allow people to shorten his name. He does not appreciate being called anything but his proper name, but there are, however, exceptions to the rule. More often than not he will seek to correct people who seek to shorten his name for no apparent reason, but if it is merely a mispronunciation, he is often happy to leave it be.

A pet name. Alessio does not know the term's meaning, nor does he seek to. It worries him not whether it is a compliment or an insult, but rather likes how it is said. The tone speaks more of its endearment than the meaning ever could, in his opinion. It is used by his partner, Robin Lichester.

Physical Characteristics
<i></i>Playby:
Benedict Cumberbatch. (Ages 32 -present)
Sex and Gender:
Alessio was born male, and identifies as male.
Birth date:
The seventeenth of February two thousand and six.
Weight:
58.7 Kilos
Height:
Just over 6'3
Somatotype:
Alessio has an ectomorphic body type, meaning his physique is of the more fragile and delicate types. Ectomorphs often have issue with regards to gaining weight, especially muscle mass, and are characterised by light bones, small joints and long limbs when compared to the droop of their shoulders. Alessio often looks taller than his already considerable height because of the lack of muscle development along his limbs. Alessio happens to be the typical ectomorph: long fingers, flat chest, toes and neck, sharp features, easily burned skin, triangular face, sensitivity to the cold and slightly receded jawline. Whenever in his past Alessio gained weight, it was through immense effort. However, unfortunately for him his past fitness has dwindled down to barely nothing beyond what he gains from regular activities.
Shape of face:
Alessio has a long face, with a pointed chin, high cheek bones, and a prominent nose that is tilted slightly upwards. His face is all angles and edges, sharp and defined in areas that give it an odd shape. His face is much like his body, long, thin and gaunt. He does not carry much weight on his face, and this brings attention to his already sharp cheekbones, causing them to appear even more so. His lips are as angled as he rest of him, while his eyes are deep-set and slightly small, yet still piercing. His heavy eyebrows shadow over his eyes, drawing them to notice. His tendency to hold eye-contact can lead them to being intimidating, and he often uses this, as well as his advanced height, to his advantage.
Eye color:
Alessio has light coloured eyes.
Whilst generally considered uncommon for his demographic, having light eyes is not uncommon for members of his family. Whilst a native Italian, his paternal heritage is English, taking roots in areas of Europe such as Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden and Finland. His maternal heritage is prominently Northern Italian, and draws roots from areas such as France, Russia, Germany and Bulgaria. Alessio's eyes most frequently appear along the blue-grey spectrum, but light cast upon them can highlight many individual aspects of colour in his iris, causing his eyes to, at times, appear aqua, or green. His eyes are in good condition, having no need of spectacles or any other assistance. Whilst not overtly 'cold', coupled with the shades of his eyebrows and skin, his eyes do nothing to soften his appearance, though there are situations where his eyes can show his emotions - should he allow them.
Skin:
Alessio has very fair skin that has a strong tendency towards burning. He avoids direct sunlight as best he can, and has always done so throughout his life. Whilst this can lead to Vitamin D deficiency, he does on occasion allow himself to soak up some sunlight to avoid this. He has light freckles sprinkled sparsely on his arms, but otherwise he has few freckles anywhere else. He has worry-lines on his forehead from his naturally pensive facial expression, and tends to have some shadows under his eyes from his unique sleeping pattern. Because of Alessio's rigorous care of his skin, this tends to backfire with it being very healthy and soft, but also prone to blemishes and sensitivity towards rougher surfaces and textures.
Hands:
Alessio's fingers are long and slender, and very much match his body shape. From general living and working, his hands have a slightly rougher texture than the majority of his skin, but are by no means the hands of a 'worker'. He is more likely to use magic for most tasks, though will most often clean (for example) with his hands, and so they are used for menial tasks on occasion. However, most frequently his hands will be used to play instruments, use his wand, or paint, leading to his fingers being rougher than his palms. His hands are well-kept, with his nails healthy and trimmed, and kept free of dirt. In short, Alessio's hands are as clean and groomed as the rest of him, and would be described as pianists' hands - long, delicate and slender.
Other features:
Alessio has a scar just above his hairline which he received as a child, after splitting his head on hard pavement. This scar is completely covered by his thick hair. He has a scar on the right side of his neck from his work as a curse breaker, as well as a few smaller scars sprinkled along his body from similar work incidents. He has a birth mark on his wrist that appears to be a darkened blemish. His body is without tattoos or piercings, finding the concept of having either on his flesh distasteful. He has light freckles on his arms, which are a few shades darker than the rest of his skin from sun exposure.
Ticklish:
Alessio is ticklish around his abdominal and pectoral muscles. The soles of his feet are also sensitive, as well as the palms of his hands.
Hair:
Alessio's hair is thick and wavy. The longer it grows, the more the waves transition to curls. Whilst he holds a neutral opinion of his curls and does not brush them out, he prefers to keep them rather short and never allows them to look untamed. His natural hair colour is a light blonde, however he has dyed his hair to numerous other colours throughout the years. He became brunette when he was thirty-two years old, considering the act as a sort of 'restart' for the next cycle of life, having previously been auburn for eight years. Being rather vain, he takes very good care of his hair, but does not take much time in styling it. Hairstyle is something that does not bother him much, but he likes his hair to be practical and not interfere with his work. His hair is currently short at the sides and back, with curls and waves on the top of his head. He doesn't have much tolerance for body hair, especially when it comes to facial hair, and so has remained clean-shaven for the greater majority of his life.
Voice:
Alessio has a rich, baritone voice. He can swing from verbose to laconic, but always speaks levelly, with an even tone and makes a point to not raise his voice when angry or upset. His words are often carefully chosen, and spoken as clearly as he can manage, unless he is speaking a foreign language where he may bungle the pronunciation. He is much more likely to 'speak' louder with his actions, rather than his words, and so is often rather quiet in most situations and takes the role of observer. Having grown up in Italy, and spending most of his life in the Tuscan area, Alessio bears this accent very strongly. Unfortunately for the proud Italian, he tends to naturally pick up accents from where he resides, and through many years of living in London, his accent has shifted slightly. The largest change in accent, however, is from his partner, Robin Lichester-Raven, whose eclectic range of accents has had an impact on Alessio's own accent. He has reasonable impersonation skills, being able to mimic many accents. However, the accent he is most comfortable with is his own.
Usual body posture:
Posture and self-presentation are very important to Alessio, therefore, he is often spotted with a rather stiff, well-held stance. His posture is impeccable given any situation beyond sleeping, and he finds a relaxed posture to be a lazy one.
Stride:
Alessio's walk is characteristic of his raising and personality. His height has no impact on his back arch, and he remains with his head held high and chest outward, instilling a sense of confidence and prestige. His gait is rather stiff and unanimated, as well as very balanced. He does not allow a misstep or blunder, and walks with grace and care. His uncompromising walk can bring about neck troubles from anchoring his face downwards when communicating with shorter people, as well as bring about issues with those few that may tower him - his walk and stance giving little room for him to crane his neck upward. This walk requires him to hold a certain amount of distance between himself and others unless they happen to share his walk and height, and this suits him perfectly. The space is for his comfort and demanded through his closed off posture and air of superiority presented through his walk. He is more graceful than sauntering, and his pace is somewhat calm during a regular wander.
Mannerisms:
Alessio is not very animated during conversation. The more he grows to like someone, the more affectionate with his movements he becomes, and the more willing he is to reveal his more emotional side (yes, there is one). Otherwise, he will remain stoic and distant under all situations. When agitated, he may massage his hands and pinch the bridge of his nose if he's particularly annoyed. When concerned, or being diplomatic, his arms will often be behind his back and flexing. When embarrassed he may sigh silently, but otherwise his tells are few and far between.
Dominant Hand:
Alessio is naturally left handed, however, he taught himself to be able to write with his right hand after years of smudging his ink when writing. His writing by his right hand isn't as attractive as the writing with his left, but he will most frequently use his right hand.

Lifestyle
<i></i>Usual fashion of dress:
Summer
During the Summer, Alessio is most often found working, and so his wardrobe is less elaborate, and more practical than other seasons. He will often be found in work robes, which are characteristically dark, and very light. Because of the heat, this is the season he will look most dishevelled (though this is not saying much), and will have a few buttons on his shirts undone, be without jackets, robes or scarfs, and honestly might forgo getting properly dressed at all. Working with oil paints means that he does not wear his nicer outfits that would be ruined by his work materials, and so has several aprons to wear. Under these aprons, he will most often be wearing one of his gowns, which during this time of year are a light cashmere, rather than his thick cotton one for winter.
Autumn
This is similar for Autumn, as well. Whilst the months are slightly colder, he will have warmer slippers to help fight off the chilly mornings and nights. However, when going out he will often dress in layers that can be easily put on and off to account for the sometimes seesaw weather of his home. Jackets, scarves, long trousers and gloves are most often in use, mostly in subdued colours, with no patterns, unless the odd light or far-spread pattern. No fabric is heavy, with each being rather light, but with each layer together, he gains significant warmth. The scarf will often be the most colourful thing of the outfit.
Winter
Because of the colder months, winter is also a major work-orientated season for him, and he works the most during this season. At this time it is much more comfortable to be wearing his old curse-breaking work robes, and so with winter comes a drop in colour. During winter is also when he does a touch of consulting with the local bank on the status of magical items that need curses removed, and so will spend less time at home than in other seasons. Home is the same as always, though with a thicker dressing gown over whatever it happened to be that he fell asleep in, and when not working he will mostly remain in a dressing gown, as winter is not the time he likes going out in.
Spring
Alessios favourite season is spring. Being fortunate enough to not suffer from allergies or hay fever, spring brings a lot of gentle sunlight that he rather likes, and instils colour back into the wardrobe. Lighter coloured trousers, robes and scarfs are often in use, as well as a lot more white than previous, in the way of shirts. Suspenders may be worn, and this is the season he forgoes the boots to have suede or leather shoes. He does not often work in spring, and so this is very much his relaxation time and the most colourful period of the year. Alessio is somewhat of a recluse, however, he is more willing to leave his home in Spring.
Overall
In generally day-to-day functioning, Alessio will take on a smart-casual (aligning more to smart) attire, and does not forgo practicality for elegance when it comes to fashion. When attending formal events, he will almost strictly be in robes, and depending on the situation, these robes can range from subtle, elegant outfits, to more dandy, elaborately embroidered ones.
Jewellery or accessories:
Alessio wears no jewellery, except a leather band around his wrist that he has grown quite fond of over the years, but it otherwise holds no meaning, and his wedding ring. He will wear cufflinks, and the occasional ring, but his most frequent accessories are his belts, scarves, ties and watches. During work or cleaning, he wears gloves.
Spending Habits:
Alessio's spending habits are very good. He knows the difference between need and want, and spends within his means. He is not afraid to spend a lot on items he deems worthy of it, and will not sacrifice comfort for price, but it is rare for him to blow vast quantities of money on a simple item he could either make himself, or get elsewhere at a more reasonable price. He is very practical with his finances, but will occasionally indulge with gift buying for people close to him. He tends to prefer going to the direct source of items he likes, as he believes in supporting home-grown talent and producers.
Traditions:
Alessio does not hold many traditions. He doesn't really bother with things like that, although he does prefer for all meals under his roof to be consumed by the family, for the family, with the family. Food is brought to the table, and it is eaten at the table, or not eaten at all.
Superstitions:
Alessio has no superstitions.
Love Style:
Agape.
Alessio naturally tends to love in the agapic style. He prefers to take care of people close to him, and this can lead him to being a little controlling of people he loves. He's faithful and altruistic, often overlooking minor misdemeanours that they may perform, which he would otherwise come down on if done by another. It is a rather unconditional love, once formed, and can be taken advantage of. However, Alessio is not easily swayed in the first place and can be considered a rather guarded man. He can tend to forget about his own needs, putting the needs of whomever he should love above them. He can cause others to feel incompetent through his hyper-reliability, something he doesn't quite understand, nor sympathise with.
Nervous ticks:
Alessio tends to play with his food (if there is some) when he is nervous, bored, or waiting, seeking some sort of distraction to pass the time. Otherwise, he tends to flex his forearms and hands behind his back during speech, and will occasionally scratch at his neck, just under his ear if nervous.
Grooming:
Alessio keeps himself clean-shaven and always has a well-kept appearance, with his hair neat and body kept clean, healthy, and smelling fresh. His hair is styled, washed thoroughly, and trimmed, as he doesnt like it falling to disarray. His clothes are clean and well-fitted, being neither too small nor baggy on him. Because of this, he looks clean, and has an appeasing body odour that is generally more aligned to coconut - one of his preferred fragrances.
Memory:
Alessio has sound mental and reflex memory.
Preferred Sense:
Alessio's preferred sense is touch, and sight. He prefers to use these senses when seeking to enjoy an activity or item, as he loves looking and touching new, interesting things. He looks with his fingers as much as his eyes, and relies on these two senses the most. A close second is his sense of hearing.
Allergies:
Alessio has no allergens.
Ailments:
Alessio has hypotension.
Hypotension, in other words, is low blood pressure. This is not a life-threatening ailment, nor is it particularly life changing in his case. He has a mild form, characterised by occasionally light-headedness, occasional fatigue, nausea, shallow breathing and more demanding thirst. For him, it is not a case of how low his blood pressure is - it is how quickly it drops. Whilst his blood pressure is at a constant lower-than-average for his size and sex, he is brought no harm from this.
Disabilities:
Alessio has no disabilities.
Diet:
Alessio's diet consists mostly of fruit and vegetables. He prefers small meals that can be eaten on the go, and quickly, so he needs them to be light. Freshly cut fruit, for him, is most efficient. He does eat proper meals, of course, but these will mostly be fruit or pasta orientated. He does not consume much along the lines of seafood, or poultry, as he does not especially like these food groups. He does not consume much red meat, either, although pork is a favourite of his. He enjoys nuts and dried fruits, and does not like his food to be too salty. He prefers sweet food over spicy food, and whilst he would never admit it, he quite likes desserts.
Health Status:
After a recent diet-change, Alessio is rather sickly, prone to illness such as influenza. However, he is slowly gaining his strength back, though it is taking its time with him.
Every thrill is gone. Wasn't too much fun at all.

<i></i>Personality
<i></i>Good personality traits:
Alessio is methodical, and serious. He is very stable emotionally, and rarely overreacts to situations. Instead, he can often look at them seriously, and avoid becoming biased. He is a rather generous person, and polite until he sees reason not to be. He will often give the benefit of the doubt at least once where appropriate.
Bad personality traits:
Alessio is a bottler, and when things bother him, he does not speak of them. Being a private person can cause him to be emotionally distant from others at times, and he does not like outward or public displays of emotion - whether it be affection, happiness, or sadness. He can be very stubborn, and unyielding, believing that because he is impartial, he is right. He can tend to get controlling, and has difficulty allowing others to take charge of things affecting his life. He is unforgiving, and does not take well to liars. First impressions are everything to him, and he can tend to hold onto these more than necessary. He can come off as rather frivolous, which he can be, and takes a flippant approach to almost all areas of life, in that he will 'go with the flow' and can be more reactive than proactive at times.
Most common mood:
Alessio is most often calm.
Sense of humour:
Alessio has a broad sense of humour, and finds great pleasure in watching people be sarcastic and show humour through witticisms and jest, as opposed to outright jokes. While a serious man, he does hold an appreciation for mischief and finds most mischievous deeds driven by extreme confidence rather bold and entertaining. He personally enjoys teasing and wit, and when in a private setting can give as good as he gets. Outside of a private setting, however, and one would assume him humourless.
Alessio's greatest joy in life:
Alessio's greatest joy in life is being able to celebrate it with people he cares about. He is by no means a solitary person, regardless of how reserved he seems, and enjoys small get-togethers that are intimate and private, rather than having large functions where he has to work a room. He has a small nurturing streak that he likes to indulge, and this is what brings him the most joy.
Alessio's little joys:
Alessio enjoys looking at sunsets. Whenever in a bad mood that cannot be fixed by any of his stress-relievers, taking time to watch a sunset is deeply calming for him. Another thing he enjoys is playing jokes on his current partner, Robin Lichester, whom he takes great pleasure in out-smarting. It is childish, but his boyfriend seems to take it in stride.
Alessio's greatest fear/s:
Disappointment, Commitment, Unrequited Love, and Failure.
Why?
Alessio hates being disappointed about as much as he hates disappointing others. He is a harsh man and expects the very best from others in all aspects of their shared life with him. Failure for them to meet his standards is hard for him to deal with, as it has lost him oppurtunities in relationships in the past. Disappointment means that he needs to reevaluate the person's worth, as well as knowing that he has miscalculated their capabilities which, to him, is a gross misstep.
Alessio is uncomfortable with commitment as he doesn't like the symbiotic reliance. He prefers to be in control and taking care of everything, and doesn't like finding himself stuck in the same situations. He likes 'refreshing' situations, and doesn't like being in stagnant environments. He is known to sabotage calm situations simply to put them back together, and this translates to sabotaging happy relationships with others in order to forge new ones, as well as disturbing otherwise 'perfect' environments in order to perfect them once more.
Perhaps the most active of his fears, Alessio finds the imbalance of unrequited love particularly harrowing. The type of love can and does include familial, as well as romantic, and he treats both with equal caution. He finds the more distressing part about unrequited love being that the individual who is loved but does not love has a certain amount of influence with those that love them. Being subjected to this sort of dynamic is something he actively avoids.
Alessio cannot stand failing, as he sees it as a reflection on himself as a person, rather than the action he tried to do. Failure is unacceptable, and in his eyes, leaves an irreparable stain on one's sense of self. Because of this, he has a deep-seated discomfort of anything that is not success, and cannot handle with being second best.
Most ill at ease when:
Alessio is most ill at ease when he is with more than one person. Even among people he knows and likes, he becomes quiet and reserved, as he does not like group conversations, being the centre of attention, or being anything akin to an extrovert. Among groups of friends, the kindest they can do is allow him to become part of the scenery whilst if someone wants to ruin his day, they can give any comment about something he deems personal.
Patience level:
Alessio is a very patient man.
General sociability
Alessio is not the most social of wizards. He is not proactive in his approach to conversation, and rarely initiates communication with strangers, or even friends or family. He is not unsociable, rather he will make little effort to start a social situation, but once began he will carry it along if he sees point to it.
Enraged when:
Alessio is most enraged when someone patronises him, or questions his decisions on the assumption that he cannot make them himself. He finds this incredibly insulting and would only tolerate such things from certain people, as he is meticulous in all decisions he makes, weighing the benefits and drawbacks, and decides to take 'risks' only after they are considered. The concept of appearing abrupt or frivolous is foreign to him, as he alone knows how much thought went into each decision. Furthermore, if someone harms one of his kin, he becomes quite aggressive and overprotective. Related to this, should someone show a disregard for their own family, or someone/thing that Alessio deems they ought to care about, he will often be quite agitated.
Priorities:
Alessio's number one priority is taking care of himself, and whomever happens to be in his care at the time. His second is the rest of his family. Regardless of whether officially he is still part of his family, he manages to stay in contact with the majority of them and helps them out whenever it is needed. Regardless of what he likes to think, he is not a solidary entity and cannot go through life without being needed, and so his priorities often involve making sure that someone else is being cared for.
If granted one wish, it would be:
Alessio would not wish for anything. He would give his wish to another after careful consideration.
Why?
Alessio does not believe that anything should be gained without some level of work involved. He has had to work for what he has, and he would feel cheated if gifted anything through a wish. Therefore, he would give the wish to someone else that has worked for what they have, and give them a break from their work. He, himself, however, would never accept this. He must always be working towards something to remain fulfilled.
Alessio's soft spot:
Alessio's soft spot is anyone or thing that he happens to have in his care at the time. He is protective, and once he accepts something, he will take it under his wing and keep it safe as he possibly can. He tends to give out tough love, however, and his emotional ineptitude can make him appear as if he doesn't care about anything that is close to him, and whilst this is not entirely intentional, he is self-aware enough to know that he doesn't suffer the emotions of others gladly but takes little action to correct this. People and creatures that are close to him tend to have a lot of flexibility, and can get away with a lot more than the average person or animal would when in his presence, and this is what makes them his 'soft spot'.
Greatest strength:
Alessio's greatest strength is his self-assuredness. He will rarely if ever question himself, and has never found himself at a loss as to what to do next. He is a planner, and this gives him considerable comfort, knowing that he is prepared for surprises and has a security blanket of sorts. His confidence is also one of his greatest strengths, as whilst he is introverted, he is not easily intimidated as he knows his limits, and prides himself on being able to read situations well. Whilst not an overly aggressive man, and by no means violent, he considers his magical prowess to also be a strength.
Greatest weakness:
Alessio's greatest weakness is his tendency to be emotionally shallow and distant. Alessio plays his cards close to his chest, and has a near-unbeatable poker-face, keeping himself and his emotions in control at most times. This can pose problems when making and retaining relationships. He can be incredibly inflexible, his word often seeming like a binding contract in his eyes, as his promises, once given, are not broken.
Biggest regret:
Alessio tends to disallow regrets. He allows the past to impact him only in a teaching aspect, reminding him of what worked and what didn't. However, beside himself, he still has a few regrets, such as relationships he wished he never had, and decisions he wished he had made differently, such as the one to leave his family. He tries to never dwell, however, and would rather not speak of them.
Biggest accomplishment:
Alessio's biggest accomplishment was becoming an occlumens and there is never a point in which he regrets it.
Alessio's darkest secret:
Alessio drinks more than he lets others see.
Does anyone else know?
Not many know for sure, though few suspect.
Boggart:
Alessio's boggart is a dementor. He finds nothing more unnerving that a being that absorbs all the happiness from him, before finally taking his soul. Fortunately, he is also capable of conjuring a powerful patronus, and so whilst weary of their existence, has never needed to be too concerned should he meet one.

<i></i>Self-perception
<i></i><SIZE size="50"><SIZE size="50"> <B>How Alessio feels about himself:
Alessio knows his flaws all too well, but is by no means self-conscious. He has a cold belief that he is expendable, and knows all too well of his own mortality. He feels rather neutral towards himself, though has some disappointments that plague him, but these are often weighed evenly with what he is proud of with regards to himself. He has his principles and stands by them, and so has a decent, though not exploded, opinion of himself.
One word Alessio would use to describe himself:
Difficult.
What does Alessio consider his best personality trait?
Alessio considers his patience to be his best trait. He rarely rushes into situations without thinking them through, and does not lose himself in the moment. If can make him difficult to relate to, but he has never made a mistake from sheer loss of control and frustration.
What does Alessio consider his worst personality trait?
Alessio feels that his worst personality trait is that he is remarkably flippant about all things. Nearly a complete opposite to patience, he can take things in a shallow depth, only scratching the surface before implementing his own opinions and plans. He holds little care for things that others would find important, such as money, and only ever values his time. He weighs the possibilities or scenarios against what he could lose and what he could gain, without worrying all that much about the drawbacks of his decisions once they are made.
What does Alessio consider his best physical characteristic?
His hands.
What does Alessio consider his worst physical characteristic?
His nose.
How does Alessio think others perceive him?:
Alessio thinks others see him as rather stoic. They're right, of course, and this is how he prefers it. Although, he does also realise that he can come off as uptight and cold, but does not see this as such a huge concern that he would go out of his way to change.
What would Alessio most like to change about himself?:
Alessio would make himself a metamorphmagus so he could hide from people better.<i></i>
