Cast

Okay, before we jump straight into the events leading up to my ascent to power, I'm going to give you a little overview of my family and friends.

Just so that you have an idea of exactly who is who.

(Plus, I'm not particularly inclined to describe the appearance of each person, especially as you'll be reading a lot about the people below.)

Alexander (Alex) Herb Rittele.

Otherwise known as me! Well how could I describe me? I was your typical 15 years old male, at around five foot ten I was of an average height for my age. My best feature (So I'm told anyway) is my coal Black hair that perpetually looks as if I have just rolled out of bed, often prompting various women to mess with it in an attempt to tame it. My shockingly bright blue eyes are often described as resembling shards of pale ice. I am the oldest in my School year with my birthday on the fifth of September. I'm the middle of three children but I don't look anything like my beanpole family of redheads, so much so that people often assume I'm adopted, even I think so sometimes! I'm incredibly smart but no one knows it as I'm also amazingly lazy.

Brent Rittele.

Brent is my big brother. He's a fairly decent guy, a year above me at school, he hangs out with the popular crowd and generally pretends Cass and I don't exist, which I can understand I guess. After all who wants their younger siblings hanging around to cramp their style? Though he doesn't socialize with us at school Brent does stick up for us if he hears of any trouble, which is fairly useful when your brother is six foot two and a star track and football [That's soccer to you Americans] player notorious for his temper being as fiery as his hair.

Cassandra (Cass) Rittele.

Cass is my bookworm of a younger sister. Don't mistake that for derision, because it isn't! I really respect Cass, she's the only one in the family who knows how smart I am, mainly because I can beat her on tests without any of the heard work she puts in! Book study isn't really my thing but I totally respect Cass for it. I can easily imagine her going on to be a lawyer or something at Oxford she's so driven! Cass is two school years below me and has a whole gaggle of girls she spends most of her time studying with. Like the rest of the family, Cass is tall at five nine and has flaming red hair.

Amanda (Mandy) Rittele.

Mandy, is my mum. A great parent and even better nurse, my mum is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. All my friends are jealous of me! Mum lets me drink alcohol in the house sometimes and generally will let me stay out late as long as I drop her a text or two letting her know I'm okay. Like the rest of the family mum has Red hair and Green eyes and is tall and athletically built, I only just caught up to her this summer she's so tall!
