Background and Story

Alex is the second born son of a prestigious lawyer and a pediatric doctor who was ‘destined’ to follow in his father’s footsteps only to find out Alex hated law school.

He has an older brother, Michael, who he looks up to and always has this desire to prove himself to his risk taking, fun loving older brother. In an effort to show his brother all the fun he was having while he was off being a marine Alex started a vlog where of all his adventures.

His vlog became nationally sponsored and Alex has millions of followers to the X-factor channel. He has a private personal vlog that isn’t scripted where he shows behind the scenes and more personal messages to his fans.

When he is offered a once in a lifetime trip to showcase a new destination adventure resort he jumps on it. He’s asked to bring along friends for maximum ‘feedback’. His brother being an adventure junkie is first on Alex’s list. He also subtly hints that he should bring along his former mate in the marines who also has a channel despite the fact that he made a hurtful comment. Secret crushes can be a bitch.

Michael jumped at the chance but was unsure of Nox’s acceptance but it didn’t take much for Nox to say yes.
