Editing After The Storm:Alan (section)

===Personal details===
Alan wasn't the strongest kid in his class but he's nimble and quick and can be stubborn when he thinks it's important. He did well enough in the occasional schoolyard fight, and was a good enough athlete to earn the respect of other boys. Not a brilliant scholar, he still did well by applying himself to his studies
He likes video games, or did when they were available. Dislikes contact sports, in part because he had early encounters with jocks/bullies who used them as an excuse to get overly rough with less strong or skilled players, and partly because of a couple of incidents in which Alan himself accidently hurt another player.
He enjoyed non-contact sports though. Sprinting and middle-distance racing, obstacle races, the pole vault. Not that he was equally good at all of them: he wasn't. But he enjoyed them whether he could win or not.
He's an avid reader, fiction and non-fiction alike.
