"Then She found the PPC. And She said to herself this would be a perfect place for Alec to be because he's already multifandom and a bit of a psycho and he loves traveling to different realities."

—Alec in the Sue Support Group

Agent Alexander Raven "Alec" Troven is an ex-Gary Stu in the Department of Improbabilities. He is written by Kippur (for whom he also serves as a muse).

Agent Profile

He is most notable in the PPC for his wife and partner Verra, as well as being the one who was assigned to kill all versions of Marrissa Picard due to incidents involving Alec turning a badfic character into a pumpkin and freezing King Thranduil—at the behest of his wife, mind you.

Alec is oftentimes sent after Gary Stus because he is a Great Big Gary Stu himself. Which he cheerfully admits. Being self-admitting allows him to overcome most of the failings of it. It also helps that he can be a spaz at times and has the attention span of a gnat.

He is technically a canon character from Kippur's not-yet-published series, Alternates. Alec is extremely meta aware, and each version of him possesses knowledge of everything else the character of Alec has been: Alternates canon, PPC agent, OC in other published universes, keeper of the Passages Inn, role-play character, etc; even scenes edited out of previous drafts remain in his memory.

Description

Kippur says that Alec looks like Orlando Bloom and it wasn't at all intentional. Specifically, he has brown eyes, dusky skin and messy black hair that often falls in his eyes. Despite being ostensibly human, he has pointed ears, as well as a blue crescent-shaped tattoo surrounding his right eye, and covering from his forehead to his cheek.

The PPC version of Alec is bisexual.

Relationships

Alec is married to Verra Rose, although he also has romantic relationships with men. (Verra is okay with this, as long as it's only with men.) The couple have a son, Braxious Troven, and a daughter, Sari Troven. As of 2006, Braxious was a preteen, and Sari was an infant.

Alec was originally, and again more recently, partnered with Marc-C, with whom he does not get along well. He was also aware of an Alternates canon, Lorac Seriph, being a PPC agent. Alec still loves Lorac, but also hates him for murdering Verra and Braxious in an early draft of Alternates.

Alec considers Agent Irvine his best friend.

Powers

As a Gary Stu, his powers are, "the ability to manipulate probability and reality," or "to do whatever I want." There is a long and convoluted story as to how he got these powers.

Unlike most PPC agents, Alec does not die permanently upon dying, but simply reincarnates as himself. His very DNA is also fluid, a trait he shares with Sues who pose as gratuitous family members of canons. He was temporarily the genetic son of Talia Nightsong and Dúros Black after Talia served as an adoptive mother to a de-aged Alec. His Stu powers allowed him to age back to normal rapidly, going from five or six on September 1 to nineteen on September 12.

As a canon character, he is an element wizard, able to control all four elements. But he's not very good at it. He's powerful, but not very good at controlling them except for fire. This is because he never got training in anything but fire.

Alec uses his longsword, "Dragon Sword," as a channel for his powers and to stab people with. It's shiny and has a dragon etched on the blade.
