Alexander is 6'1" and average in build, if maybe on the lankier side. He's got more musculature in his upper body from on-the-job lifting. Some of his icons have really short hair -- Alex's isn't cut that short. His is more like this and this. His original self had red hair, but his STE self has brown hair that looks reddish in the sun because I am not going to color edit those icons, nope. Also blue eyes but I'm playing them hazel in STE for the same reason as the hair.
He's a very casual dresser -- t-shirts, button-up shirts (that are usually not buttoned up all the way), jeans, and occasionally slacks. Unlike his PB, he doesn't accessorize for fashion, only for weather. His tops tend to be monocolor or very simple in design, like stripes. He likes color and usually purchases their darker shades. He prefers sneakers and slippers for the comfort and ease factor, but he also has a pair of simple leather boots that are probably very worn but maintained, comfortable, and easier to clean than sneakers. He probably has two blazers, one pair of dress shoes, and a few ties that hardly ever see the light of day.
He's a boxers kind of guy, some with silly prints like dinosaurs.
His looks match his age! Twenty-eight going on twenty-nine.
His default expression is pleasantly casual. He's usually wearing a ghost of a smile. He does a lot of brow and lip acrobatics (like this) and he's very handsy -- like, he'll shove his hands in his pockets, only to take them out less than a minute later; he wiggles his fingers in a lazy manner, like he's playing the piano on his thigh; he'll touch his neck a lot, especially when he's thinking or troubled. In general, he is very rarely completely still.
Growing up in a touchy feely family (sans his dad) has made Alex very comfortable with physical contact, platonic and otherwise. His posture is all right; it's not rigid straight, but it's not sloppy, either, except when he's lounging around.
The only aesthetic change he's received from the Echoes is a sharpening and mild elongation of his canine teeth. They're not glaringly obvious, but if he grins or someone is focusing on his mouth as he's speaking, something might seem off.
As for scent, he probably uses something that smells like BPAL's Jabberwocky: "An earthy yet buoyant scent: pine, eucalyptus and orange." Just a tad weaker, though. (Fuck yeah, BPAL!) I also thought of Calico Jack, but I don't have my imps with me to double-check.
