Alfred F. Jones

Alfred has short, wheat blond hair with a stubborn piece of hair sticking up in front, almost like a cow-lick. He has aquamarine blue eyes, which tend to sparkle with excitement and childish amusement most of the time. While his face has matured over the years, some baby-fat still clings to his cheek, a proof that he still hasn't reached adulthood completely.

He is pretty tall and well-built, courtesy of his fear of obesity. He is near-sighted and he refuses to wear those stupid, itchy contacts, so he wears his wire-framed glasses almost always. As for his clothing, comfort is of utmost importance. He wears jeans, sneakers, and T-shirts to school; at night, he wears black jeans, combat boots, and black leather jackets, blending in with the night almost perfectly.



Alfred is a cheerful, hyperactive, fun-loving guy. He loves being with people and talking, a true social butterfly. People usually perceive him as a slow and dim-witted jock, which is not the case at all. Alfred is very clever and while he tends to miss some innuendos or a few obvious things, he isn't unable to read the atmosphere, which is also a common belief. He just chooses not to because it makes dealing with awkward or tough situations easier.

He's very sensitive and feels guilty easily, which isn't the best trait for a member of the Police to have. After years of pretending, he has perfected his cheerful and emotionless masks to such extent that nobody can see through them. He's a very good liar although he hates lying with a passion. He is also a very curious person and is prone to sticking his nose in other people's business. He has a strong sense of justice, which is one of the reasons for his hatred of this system.

Alfred is inhumanly strong, something he has to hide in fear of being erased for such an extraordinary thing.


Alfred was born in NYC and he had lived his entire life there, only leaving the city once when his father took him to a farm in Texas. He has no memories of his mother and his father had always refused to tell him anything about her. Alfred, as everyone, had a relatively happy childhood. He went to school like everyone, played in the park like everyone, and watched TV like everyone.

His ordinary life started changing when he noticed that his father worked more than his classmates' parents. George, that was his father's name, worked in an irregular schedule, often having to go to work in the middle of the night. Alfred, who was a very curious boy by nature, decided to follow his father one night, breaking the Law for the first time in his life. It nearly served as an ending to it. He was already held down by a man dressed in black, holding his mouth and telling his partner something, when George appeared and saved him.

After he took his son home, George slapped his son, effectively shocking the little one into silence. Violence was something completely unheard of; no one ever hurt anyone, no one. Before Alfred could ask anything, his father hugged him tightly and begged him to never do anything like this ever again. Although he demanded answers, his father stubbornly sent him off to bed without a word of explanation. But Alfred wasn't one to give up.

He had tried to get his father to talk for years, but it was all fruitless. It made him frustrated, which resulted in the young teen almost breaking the Law for the second time: he questioned the Elite. His father had to save him for a second time, barely making it in time. He would never forget the silent fury in his father's eyes that day. When they got home, he expected to be hurt again, but to his honest surprise instead of getting a stinging cheek, he got his answers. His father told him about the Police, the Elite, the real reason for the lack of crime in their world.

And the real reason why he couldn't remember his mother. Alfred was overcome with disgust. They had his mother's existence erased because she left his father in a fit of rage and wanted to get back with him after cooling down?

For the first time, Alfred experienced hatred. He wanted to hurt the Elite, he wanted to kill the Elite, he wanted the Elite gone. His father punched him for his idiotic thoughts. No one can overcome the Elite., he said. Those who try will be erased. Forever. His father made him swear that he would never try to overthrow the Elite. Alfred considers that the only promise he had ever broken.

After his father died from cancer, one of the few things the Elite had no control over, Alfred was offered a chance via e-mail to take his father's place in the Police. The e-mail explained all the things he already knew and warned him that he either accepted or he would have to be erased for knowing. Luckily, he had no intention of refusing. He joined the Police at the age if 16, going through a special training without meeting anyone from the Police or the Elite in person.

He always tried to save the people, erasing them only when there were others from the Police around. He even helped some of them escape into another part of the world, which unfortunately simply meant they would be oppressed elsewhere. However, it was still a step in the right direction.

Nowadays, he is attending University by day and doing his work as a member of the Police by night and sometimes in his free time. He's also looking for people with similar beliefs to his own, hoping to start a Revolution one day and finally gain independence for people. He would make the Elite fall one day. That was his dream, his goal, and his motivation. Failure was not an option.
