Alex M Brownstone

Early History
Alex Brownstone was sometime in 1995s, presumably in the midwest city of Madison Avenue. He was delivered by a member of the Religious Order of Chosen Knights named Brother Orpheus to the home of Peter and Joan Brownstone on August 21. Peter and Joan adopted him as their son and he lived with them and his older sister Lisa. As Alex grew so did his knowledge and love for rock and heavy metal music. In December 2008 Alex was visited by the spirit known as the King who became his mentor and guide.

High School
In September 2009, Alex began attending high school at Floyd Rose High where he met Joey Bergston. Joey and Alex would become best friends. During his junior year, Alex bumped into the new girl at the school, Queen Rose, who would become his girlfriend. Queen later introduced Alex and Joey to her best friend Grace Sawyer. The four friends became inseparable and often hung out outside of school. During his senior year, he became friends with actor Kevin Stone when Kevin was forced by his managers to attend and graduate high school. In February Alex got a part-time job at a new fast-food restaurant called Metal Burger where he worked with one of his classmates, Ronnie Marshall. During Spring Break, Alex and his friends were invited out to Hollywood by Kevin where he was finishing filming for his new film "Meltdown which came out in July.

After High School
After graduating from high school, Alex continued working at Metal Burger. He moved out shortly after his 18th birthday and got an Alex's Apartment in the city.

A Mad Metal Christmas
In December 2013, Alex was sent on a mission by The King to the North Pole. When he got there he found the workshop overrun by evil toys. He rescued Nick and Jessica Claus, along with the Christmas Elves. Nick explained that Krampus was behind the attack on the workshop and was trying to stop Christmas. Nick and Alex recruited the help of Jack Frost and the three of them went to Krampus' lair to stop him.

The Rockening Begins
In July 2014, Alex was visited by the King who told him that their universe was in great danger. He explained that their world was actually one of many worlds within a Multiverse. Each multiverse exists in its own time period and each universe has a version of Alex called a double. One of these doubles was Brimstone, an evil creature from the hellish universe Dimension 696. Brimstone had also discovered the Multiverse and sought to take it over and make each world like his own. Brimstone was going from world to world spreading his Darkness, corrupting and infecting the inhabitants, and making the world darker so he could take it over. He was also searching for special artifacts belonging to each of the doubles called totems. With the totems in his possession, the doubles would be powerless to stop him. Three worlds had already fallen to Brimstone and it was up to Alex to stop him. The King explained that their universe was the center point of the Multiverse and if Brimstone found out and got control of Alex's totem he would become unstoppable.

Earth Prime
Alex was sent by the King to retrieve his totem which was supposedly at the Metal Burger. Alex ventured through the city of Madison Avenue and saw that the Darkness was already spreading. Alex arrived at the fast-food restaurant and as soon as he entered the doors locked behind him. He was then attacked by his boss Mr. Wong who had become infected by the Darkness. Alex fought and defeated him and he turned back to normal. Alex asked Mr. Wong about his totem but he didn't know anything about it. After Alex returned home the King went out and searched the city for the totem. He came back and told Alex that it had been taken by the Dark Creatures to Floyd Rose High. Alex went to the school and explored the halls and classrooms until he ended up in the school's gymnasium. In the gym, he was attacked by the school's principal, Principal Snyder who had also become infected. Alex defeated him and he returned to normal. Principal Snyder told Alex that the creatures had taken the totem to a mental hospital known as the Elysium Institute. Alex returned to his apartment and told the King who warned Alex not to go to the asylum as he had figured out it was where the Darkness was originating from.

Graceland
The King opened a portal in Alex's Apartment and took him to a pocket dimension he had created called "Graceland." He explained that he had created Graceland as a safe-haven in case of a universe-wide crisis and it would be safe from the Darkness as it wasn't apart of the Multiverse. The King showed Alex one of the buildings, a large apartment. He told Alex that once he obtained a totem from a double he could bring them here for safety. He also explained he had brought some of Alex's friends to Graceland to help build various tools and weapons for him and his doubles to use during the mission. After obtaining new armor and weapons Alex headed back through the portal to Earth Prime and proceeded to the Elysium Institute.

Return to Earth Prime
Alex arrived at the Elysium Institute and found it in a state of disarray. Dark Creatures were running rampant along with some of the more violent patients. After fighting his way through the asylum's halls he ended up at the room of one of the patients, a young girl named Angel. The King explained to Alex that Angel had been a patient at the asylum for a while. She had succumbed completely to the Darkness to the point where she had become a Dark Creature. The King asked Alex to save her if he could. Alex fought Angel who eventually managed to overpower him. Realizing that he was not going to be able to physically beat her, he instead appealed to the humanity she had left. He told her that he knew what it was like to experience darkness. He explained that it does eventually get better and that the people around her like the doctors at the hospital were trying to help. Alex's speech worked and Angel's inner strength was able to fight off the Darkness. After returning to normal she thanked Alex for saving her and gave him his totem, an emerald guitar pick. With the totem in his possession, the Darkness began clearing from the world. Back in his apartment, the King told Alex that he would have to go to the other universes, find his doubles, and collect their totems. Since the King would not be able to travel to the other universe with him, he gave Alex a communication device to talk to him from Earth 821.

Prehistoric Era
Using the portal created by the King, Alex went to Earth 203. He exited the portal and found himself in the prehistoric era in a caveman village. There he met his double, a caveman named Oolx. Using the King to translate Oolx’s grunts and primitive language, it was explained that Oolx welcomed Alex to his village. Oolx took Alex to see the Village Leader who became very excited at his presence. The leader took Alex and Oolx deep into the Elder Cave and showed Alex cave drawings. One of the drawings depicted a village with a man stepping out of a portal. The next drawing depicted a volcano erupting destroying the village. Alex inspected the drawings closer when he heard a loud rumble. The three ran outside and looked in the distance where they saw the volcano. Alex realized that the volcano would destroy the village like in the drawings. Alex and Oolx ventured out to look for a new home for the doomed village. They made their way through the dense jungle fighting off the hostile animals and creatures when they encountered a group of primates whom Oolx called “monkees.” Alex quickly realized that the monkees had become infected and feral due to the Darkness. Alex and Oolx were chased by the monkees until they made it to the jungle’s clearing overlooking a large cliff. The only way across was a rickety rope bridge. As Alex and Oolx crossed the bridge they looked back and saw the monkees retreat into the jungle. Once they got to the other side they found themselves on a large plateau with various cave structures, a large pond, and a nearby forest. The area looked very similar to Oolx’s old village. Alex and Oolx figured that this would be a good spot to move the tribe. Their thoughts disappeared when they began hearing a large roar nearby. A large dinosaur emerged from the forest called the Juranoid. Alex noticed that the Juranoid had also become infected by the Darkness. After defeating the Juranoid Alex and Oolx went to head back towards the village. Rather than go through the jungle again they decided to take a different route. They were able to get down to the river and walked back to the village. When they arrived they were greeted by distressed cavemen. They told Alex and Oolx that a caveman from a rival tribe named Jmm. Oolx and Alex teamed up to fight Jmm and defeated him. There was no time to celebrate, however, as the volcano finally erupted. The tribe packed up their belongings and the leader led them through the jungle. Due to the large size of the group the tribe was not disturbed by any of the creatures in the jungle. Alex and Oolx stayed in the back to make sure no one fell behind. The tribe eventually reached the rope bridge and crossed to the other side. Just as Alex and Oolx were about to cross the monkees closed in on them and the pack's alpha blocked the entrance to the bridge. Alex and Oolx defeated the Alpha just as a large rock from the volcano fell and destroyed the bridge. The giant monkee fell into the river below but Alex and Oolx were stuck on the other side. Alex and Oolx jumped across the large gap. Alex almost fell into the river but was caught by Oolx who pulled him up to safety. The tribe held a party and thanked Alex for helping save them and Oolx gave Alex his totem, a bone. The King opened a new portal and Alex took Oolx to the apartment in Graceland.

Dystopia
Alex arrived on Earth 212 and found himself in the middle of a dystopia. He noticed that there was almost no electricity and everything was running on steam. He didn’t have time to take in the sights before he was kidnapped by a group of unknown assailants and taken to an underground bunker. It was there that he met Sebastian, the son of Earth 212’s double. Alex explained to Sebastian that he was from a different universe and he was traveling through the Multiverse looking for his doubles and their totems. Sebastian explained to Alex the history of Earth 212. The year was 2040. Sometime during the 2020s, the world had experienced an apocalyptic level event that wiped out all electricity. His father, Earth 212’s version of Alex Brownstone, was a successful rockstar at the time and the events of the Blackout caused the death of his bandmates. Seeing the world fall into chaos caused him to go crazy. Using his wealth and resources he formed an army and took over Los Angeles. He renamed the city "New Angeles" and now rules as a malevolent dictator with help from his oppressive Regime. Sebastian told Alex that he had rejected his father and decided to join a Rebellion working to overthrow the Dictator and establish a new order. The rebels mistook Alex for the Dictator which was why they kidnapped him. With the misunderstanding cleared up, Alex decided he would help Sebastian and the rebels in their fight. Their first mission was to rescue the Rebellion’s leader, Lucas Blackwick. Lucas and a few of the rebels had recently been captured by the Regime and taken to a secure prison site. Alex and Sebastian went to the prison to rescue them and just as they made it out, Alex and Sebastian were confronted by the Head Guard. After defeating him they escaped back to the rebel’s bunker. Back at the base, Lucas thanked Alex and Sebastian for rescuing him and explained that while he was imprisoned he learned of a new airship being built by the Regime called the Zeppelin. The Zeppelin would give the Regime control of the skies as well as additional military power to finally defeat the Rebellion. It would also allow the Regime to expand its territory beyond New Angeles and possibly take over the rest of the country. A plan was formed to break into the compound where the Zeppelin was being built and destroy it before it could be completed. Alex was given a disguise to look like the Dictator and he and Sebastian entered the compound. Once inside they headed for the Control Room to open the main gate to let the rest of the rebels inside. They were confronted by the Foreman and after defeating him he told Alex and Sebastian that they were too late. The Zeppelin had been completed and the Regime had found the Rebellion’s bunker. The Dictator was aboard the Zeppelin and it was headed to the base to blow it up and put an end to the rebels. Alex and Sebastian opened the gate to let Lucas and the rest of the Rebels inside just as the Zeppelin began taking off. As the Rebels began fighting the Regime, Alex and Sebastian snuck aboard the ascending Zeppelin and fought their way to the cockpit to confront the Dictator. The Dictator recognized Alex and told him that he knew about his search for the totem. He explained that Brimstone had come to Earth 212 and agreed to spare the world in exchange for his totem. Back on the ground, Lucas and the Rebels began shooting chain guns at the Zeppelin to stop it from leaving the compound. Lucas fired a rocket that blew a hole in the cockpit and wounded the Dictator. The Zeppelin began rapidly descending as Sebastian pleaded with his father to give up and turn himself in. The Dictator feigned defeat as two of his guards entered the cockpit and grabbed Alex and Sebastian. The Dictator raised his pistol to shoot Alex just as Sebastian got one of his hands free. He threw a stun grenade at the Dictator causing him to stumble and fall out of the Zeppelin where he disappeared into the flames and smoke below. Without their leader the two guards let Sebastian and Alex go and ran to get parachutes before jumping out of the ship. Sebastian and Alex also grabbed parachutes and landed safely on the ground as the Zeppelin crashed into the compound and exploded. After returning to the bunker the Rebellion celebrated their victory. Lucas and Sebastian thanked Alex for his help and Alex invited Sebastian to stay in the apartment in Graceland until the Rockening was over. Sebastian declined, saying that with the Dictator gone the rebels would begin working to restore peace and order to New Angeles and he wanted to stay behind and help. He told Alex to call him if he ever needed his help in the future.

The Aftermath
After defeating Brimstone, Alex returned his Doubles to their universes. The three universes that had been destroyed by Brimstone were restored and the Doubles from those universes appeared and thanked Alex for saving them.

Rocktober: Happy Metalloween
In October 2014, Alex noticed strange swamp monsters coming from Myers Swamp. Upon venturing into the swamp Alex discovered a portal to Earth 131.
