However, no matter how hard the lessons in etiquette were hammered in; Alec had a rebellious streak that let him to develop more naturally instead of his personality being shaped. He's got all the confidence of someone that can "do no wrong" but hasn't quite matured into full-blown arrogance yet. He likes to question the status quo and tends to more independent means of dealing with situations. However, he never got taught how to properly reign in the desires of the flesh that physical maturity brought about and as a result is sometimes easily distracted by the thought or instance of them.<br/><br/>But he is reliable and puts his all into anything he agrees to do, no matter how difficult it may seem at the time. He takes giving his word very seriously and tries to never go back on it unless circumstances beyond his control force it.<br/><br/><strong>Background: </strong>As stated: Alec grew up as the eldest son and heir to his family's fortune and status. But being too independent, too quick to question the decisions of his elders and ignore their status quo lead him into trouble both physically and socially quite often. As a child; it was acceptable but as he grew up it become an increasing problem and his parents soon demanded that he either offer his service and physical prowess to the the local church of Lathander or lose out completely on his inheritence and be disowned. He willingly chose the church because the notion of being thrown out of the only family he knew actually frightened him, unveiling a fear of abandonment.<br/><br/>He gained the faith and temperament necessary, combined with his high physical prowess ability; to become officially knighted as a paladin of the church. He may not have been the best student of scripture but he learned it well enough to be able to adhere to the rules; and better served as the "sword" of the faith rather than it's "book". A couple years after gaining his title as a paladin; and the subsequent "pleasant" interactions he had with the abbot's exceptionally attractive young wife;  he was sent off with a small squad to go clear a nearby village of "evil malefactors". Somewhere inside he had scoffed at the notion; thinking it was because he had become friends with the slightly older woman that he'd ended up being sent the backass-land of backasslands.<br/><br/>However, during the initial blessing the group had received; there'd been a minor curse placed upon him by the abbot that would make him see all the innocent villagers and his allies as servants of evil that had to be struck down upon reachin the village. Unable to distinquish friend from foe, he cut through them in the initial panic of being surrounded on all sides, believing he had to fight for his life; he mercilessly cut through his companions and the innocent villagers.<br/><br/>Upon completion and his return to the church, he was immediately accused of treason and turning his back on his beliefs. At that point, Alec voiced his thoughts about it; shouting at the head priest that he'd been tricked and it was all the old man's fault. The Old man would try to talk him down, reminding him of how he'd volunteered for the mission; but Alec wouldn't have it. Fed up with being told what to do and never feeling truly appreciated for it, Alec began to angrily blaspheme against Lathander, calling the faith a blatant lie full of corrupt bastards that were only out for their own good. As well as how the god himself didn't give a shit about any of them that they prayed to him offering him power in the form of faith and never actually stepped in to help any of them in return.<br/><br/>The entire time, he been stalking toward the head priest and grabbed the elderly man by the throat and smashed his head into the altar until the man died, bleeding all over the consecrated space. It would seem that that had been enough and the instant Alec stepped outside past the shocked and horrified assemblance, he'd be struck dead by a blast of pure divine power in the form of a lightning bolt from the blue.
