Okay is Lexis like a gay little boy or what?

D: He's not gay. He's just confused. He's too young to know whether or not he's gay anyway. He's basically being raised as a girl because his (well-known, rich, brilliant scientist) father had a mental breakdown when his wife died directly after Alexander's (Lexis's) birth. She was very frail and Lex's father was so, so in love with her. He went sort of insane when she died. Lex has his mother's hair color and eye color, generally looks a lot like her.

But Doctor Alexander Vandenhoff (Lexis's dad) lives with Lexis in a big estate/mansion on a lot of private land. They are alone aside from a couple of maids. No one outside knows that he even has a child. He's continuing to be very successful as a scientist (makes a lot of top-secret classified weaponry, experiments with weird and scary things).

Basically he's being raised as a girl by his mentally unstable father, and doesn't know any better because he doesn't go to public school. His father is extremely caring and protective. He's a very good father (even though it's... really weird).

It's also his father's fault that Lexis is teeming with nanomachines, trillions of tiny, tiny little robots, basically. Big surprise, he got basically super powers from a super science accident. They swarm around him and inside him, can't be seen with the naked eye, can cut things to shreds, break his falls, lift up huge heavy things, form into solid weapons... so even if he himself isn't strong, he's capable of laying down the pain.

Good thing he's sweet.

Quiet, you're scaring the children (away)

okay, I was like what the heck? That's a cool story line! Lexis is awesome! But I think I've heard that name in some video game somewhere...

Lexis = short for Alexis = his birth name as wanted by his mother is Alexander, named after his father. Really a girl-i-fi-cation of Alexander. But "lexis" is actually a word, completely unrelated to my naming him.
