Alexander "the Great" Hemmerich

Alexander Hemmerich A.K.A. "Alexander the Great" is a main character in the animated cartoon series, Looping Life with Jake. He is twelve years old, and is a reputed player in the neighborhood of Nova Terrace.

Physical Appearance & Personality
Alexander has a tall, lean figure, even for his age. His skin is of a "blaze" shade of tan, with spiky black hair and ash gray irises on his eyes. For his clothing, he wears a red sleeveless t-shirt with white khakis, black work shoes, and a Team Spiral-Yo Jersey vest.

Alexander is a soft-spoken young man with a serious way of thinking about things, but not so serious as to seem cold towards other sensible people. However, if anything does make him angry, he gives a very harsh and intimidating glare. Very rarely does his temper truly explode, but when it does, it's not going to be pretty. He does not use this glare outright to bully others, and only uses it to show any arrogant opponents that he means business.

He was also close to his father, Justin Hemmerich, who was a professional yo-yo player and an overseas member of Team Spiral-Yo. When he died in a car accident, Alexander began to wear his father's team vest to honor his memory. He also prefers to eat healthy, his favorite snack being a chocolate protein bar. He's never usually willing to tell people what he usually likes, but what he doesn't like are morons, cowards, and anything he would deem to be meaningless (like arguments or popularity contests at school). He is also considerate enough to help some of the younger players to improve their skill if they do ask him for help.

Skills
Alexander specializes in offstring play (4A), and practices his tricks in places where he would come up with showy and physically active maneuvers. He had also shown some moderate skill in string play and a bit of looping, as well. Of course, he dabbles in diabolos from time to time. From time to time, Alexander would do parkour in order to stay in shape.

Yo-yos
Just as Jake collects looping yo-yos, Alexander collects mostly offstring yo-yos, and some in the collection are yo-yos of other playing styles. The yo-yo he most commonly uses, is a YoYoJam Big Yo (the original, not the Big Yo 2), which is one of his favorites, due to its attention-grabbing size. Occasionally, he would use other offstring yo-yos, such as the Duncan Skyhawk or a Henrys Viper AXYS that his father had owned. However, when there is need to bring out his best skills especially in a contest setting, he would bring out his "proverbial secret weapon", a C3yoyodesign Flawless.
