Anti-hero


I go by the name of Lexley I chose the archetype that most suits me the anti-hero because during the short time I have been alive its been frequently humours and there has been lots of failure but I've always managed to pull through at the end of the day. I try my best to make the highest grade I can in school even if my parents say I can do better and I get in some kind of trouble half-way through the six-weeks but at the end of the month I manage to find that missing paper or prove I wasn't skipping 2nd period just in time for my report card.

The Quest


My quest is one of knowledge it is a quest I journey on to find out as many of the wonders, mysteries, and oddities of this world before my time draws to a close. It is important to me because I have always been intrigued by things like the Bermuda triangle, wars, and ancient civilizations. Obstacles in my way vary from money, to the fear that exists in all of us about the unknown, but with the aviation degree, I plan on working hard for, I'm going to be a pilot after I graduate which should help me significantly on my quest. My will, and determination shall aid me overcome fears dark shade. My quest ends when I die, for knowledge is a vast sea filled with wisdom which stretch into infinity too deep for one mind alone to chart.

The Mentor


My mentor is my mother, she made me who I am today by the many things she thought me like bible verses, and the many trips around the world she took me on that sparked the beginning of my quest. She raised me, and equipped me with the information to get through everyday life. she always provides answers for every troubling query enabling me to find hope. Her number one aid to me has always been her belief that I can always succeed if I try, a lesson she planted in me like the many other ones shes thought me.

Threshold Guardian


My Hispanic friend Alberto is my threshold guardian for he has always had my back in some of my most dire situations. If I was in a fight hes got my back if I need money hes got my back hes not just my friend hes my best friend and my threshold guardian.

Shadow The Evil Williams


My shadow is Gabbi she puts up a fake I wouldn't hurt a fly demeanor but deep down she is pure evil. She hates almost every thing I love and visa verse she initiates long arguments over random things which she claims she wins but in the end I am Victor over my shadow. My other shadow and one true weakness is insomnia. I have a big problem with faling asleep at night and then staying awake in the morning but coffee fixed that, I hope.

O'neal The Trickster

My Trickster is josh O'neal he makes the funniest and most messed up jokes I've ever heard and he cheers me up if I'm down. He also loves to play pranks on me or pull a prank and blame it on me. He is a very mischievous and as such always gets in trouble but his antics and wise cracks never cease to amuse.

The Monster

One of the worst moments of my life was when I experienced one of the tools of war but not actual war itself. I was in Nigeria at the time when a military stockade in Ikeja ,my area, blew up along with the bombs it was housing. The following explosions lasted for months up on till the time I left Nigeria to live in U.S.A. The government had to request the help of a U.S bomb squad to remove the rest of the bombs. The explosions went on around the clock at school, at night every time the constant staccato of the bomb squads efforts to dispose of the bombs. I lived in constant fear of what would happen if one bomb just happened to go astray. Recently when I went back in 2009 the sounds of bombs still echo in my heart but most of my homeland is making progress economically to make sure a disaster like that never happens again.

The Traveler

Ever since I was just a baby I had always been going on long business trips to many different countries with my mom. The countries she took me to most often were European countries such as the U.K, Amsterdam, and Germany. I journeyed very often with my mom and learned some interesting about the different country I visited, I even went to 2ND grade in London, were I learned slang for an eraser was gum. I have crossed many great oceans and many great bridges during my journeys and for that I am proud.

The Great Voyage

My greatest voyage was traveling to the U.S for the first time to live there. I was only eight years old and my mother was worried but I went aboard the flight and began my journey I was very nervous because it was my first time flying by my self I was directed by flight attendance when the flight landed in Germany, were was then held in a office and asked questions in German. It took the attendant thirty minutes to realize I did not speak German and another ten minutes to figure out I spoke English. After they had sorted every thing out and got me on the right plane it dawned on me that, I was on the last leg of my journey to my new home. When I arrived my dad greeted me at the airport with joy for I had not seen him in three years. Those began the closing of one chapter of my life and the beginning of another.

Returne To The Land Of Origin

Last Christmas I went back to my home land Nigeria for my adopted sisters wedding. Not much had changed since I had left but it was improved the police looked better the were more fast food chains, and it was slightly cleaner but, the poverty did not change, which made me very sad. I was very happy to see family members I had not seen in years and the wedding was a very joyous occasion. I saw sights and ate foods I had missed dearly in my time away from my true home. In the end I was sad to leave but I knew I had to return to my adopted home but Nigeria will always remain in my heart.

The Crew

My friends are very important to me on my quest they often help me and some times even hinder my goals but in the end we all manage to pull through. Alberto is headstrong and likes to tackle tough situations with brute force. Josh is crafty and sly he relies on his cunning to out smart his foes. Chris is always has a cool head and apply both force and trickery to solve his problems together we are a loyal band of friends who always help each other out, all for one and one for all.
