Appearance: Just having entered puberty, Dimitri still looks very much like a child. He doesn’t place much emphasis on his looks, since he never has had to. His features are entirely Japanese, thanks to his mother's dominant genes, though his eyes and hair are more of Russian-American genetically, from Akari’s mother and Sergei. His brown hair is scruffy looking, and is rarely cut, or brushed for more than five seconds. His outfits are generic, and it is further proof he doesn’t care to look amazingly good. Because of his Alice, his body is on the tall side of bodies, thanks to his long legs. His high metabolism makes him look very scrawny, or as his father said, "Svelt".
Clothing: Dimitri usually dons a grey baseball jersey-style shirt with brown trim. He also wears a dark teal over-shirt with short sleeves and a hood. His pants are blue denim cargo-style pants, and he accessorizes them with black, generic sneakers with white socks. Another item of note is his black thin chain necklace with a silver ring on it. The three chains on the necklace are intertwined, like they are braided. The ring was his mother's, engraved with the Japanese Symbols for "May your soul soar". The same phrase is on the inside of the ring, but in Russian instead.
Alice: Racing Alice
This Alice has an impressive set of capabilities that all achieve one goal; to make the user the strongest possible when they're experiencing the sensation of speed. Not only does it effect themselves, but the machine s/he's in becomes better, faster, more agile, in short, the ultimate racing machine. The Alice only works when the user is trying their best to achieve the height of their performance. It focuses the user's mind into the race, improving their perception and reaction time. At the same time, the viehicle they use to propel themselves becomes a part of the user, so to speak. All of the viehicle's abilities improve dramatically. As a predisposition Alice, it grows in effect as the user becomes better with his/her Alice, since it's effect only works when needed.
Side Effects:
[/li][li]Light Body Weight - For some odd reason, people with this Alice weigh substansially less than most people. In fact, it's about a third. Physically, the user's bones become like those of a bird, hollow with support bracing inside. Their muscles are thin, and the body is compressed horizontally. This light body weight makes all their muscles weak, because they're only lugging around a third of the weight they would in a normal person.
[/li][li]Thin Bodies - These people have very high metabolisms, so they're always on the skinny side of things. This adds to the user's thin desciptions, making it hard to not be called "scawny".
[/li][li]Long Legs - Though it isn't amazingly noticeable, these Alice users have longer legs than most.
Personality: Let's face it, he's a little kid. Obviously, he's going to be concentrating on having a lot of fun. So somehow, he has to some way to define himself. So, what keeps him different is his gentle, smiling disposition. It give him a sort of matured, though subdued presence. Even with his Alice, going anywhere quickly scares him. He loves to tell jokes, but doesn't have a lot of good ones. He's also one of those people who can't help but help others. Though he can forget himself while he's helping other people. Because of his past, he has the ability to take care of himself, but is emotionally reliant on others.
However, when confronted with his Alice, he tends to shy away. And at the Academy, the topic comes up a lot. In addition to anything about his Alice, the mere presence of speed can scare him. If it goes faster than his walking speed, he'll at least cringe in fear. If it goes faster than he can run, he has the impulse to get away. About twenty miles per hour and above will paralyze him in fear. But, motor viehicles like cars and trucks, will cause him to not only be paralyzed in fear, but also to cower and begin freaking out. His past caused a full psychological trauma that he still hasn't gotten over.

Background:
He lived in relative peace for a long time. In fact, he rarely had any problems to deal with as a young child. It wasn't until he found out who his father was that he ever had anything to truly worry about. One day, an Alice gang showed up and blew the door off of it's hinges. They came to take Dimitri and his mother as ransom. They said his father had caused them enough problems and tried to grab them both.
His mother resisted as the two were pulled away from each other. In the exchange, Dimitri accidentally pulled away his mother's ring. Through the entire ordeal, he never once let go of the ring. As they towed him away, he could see two of the punks with clubs get too close to his mother. He can't remember the next minute, because of the pain associated with the memory. In short, she was put into intensive care and managed to recover.
However, there was still the issue of him being hauled off by the gangers. They kept him in a room under the supervision of just one person. After all, he was a kid, what could he possibly do against a Null Alice user? He did nothing. His father came to rescue him, but a massive Alice fight broke out. It turned out that his father was the sergeant of the city's special anti-Alice police division. During the fight, Dimitri escaped, not even knowing what was really going on.
Without thinking, he found and hotwired an old pickup truck with a faulty battery. It was about then that his Alice kicked in. Some Alice users experience a "burst" effect when their Alices kick in for the first time. This was it for him, and he experienced a powerful burst. It not only gave him the ability to make a viehicle better, it gave him knowledge. How to drive, what everything did, even how to hotwire the truck. He even mastered the concept and use of a manual transmission in mere microseconds. Dimitri drove from the scene, heading full on out into traffic. With tinted windows and his suddenly superior driving capability, the cops thought he was an escapee from the gang fight. But, because of all the stress and suddeness of his power, he freaked out, over reacting and driving through a business building, but only after sucessfully avoiding the police pursuit units for fifteen minutes. Nobody was hurt, but eight civilian cars, two police cruisers, and a hundred thousand dollars worth of office building were destroyed.
From then on, he was always scared of cars, and of anything going faster then he could walk. His parents tried everything they could to relieve this fear, especially seeing what he could do without his heavy fears. He was only seven then, and still holds the fear. Seeing no other alternatives when he became an elementary student, they enrolled him in Alice Academy, thinking they would be best to help him realize, and embrace, his skills.
Family History:
His mother, Akari Morimoto, was a teacher for mentally gifted children at a private academy. She met Sergei Shirokov in a singles bar one night, and things just seemed to click. Back then, he was only a private in the anti-Alice Crime division of the Salem police department. His Warp Alice (which screws around with Alices in odd ways, making even Null Alices ineffective, if he uses it before he his nulled. He keeps a warping field around him to prevent ever being nulled.) proved to be a boon, and he rose through the ranks quickly. The two had a great relationship, with the obligatory rocky spots, and got married seven months into their relationship.
About this time, he made sergeant, and began a campign to clean up "Alice Gangs". They had caused a fair amount of trouble, and he was prepared to repay them every last bit. For the most part, he did, and ended up a bit of a local celebrity for his efforts. But, this also made him the target of a lot of hatred amongst those he was trying to take down.
The kidnapping was one of those efforts to take him down. But, they never succeeded. He is still a sergeant, but is lined up for a more political spot as the advisor for the city's law enforcement. His mother, however, quit her teaching to raise Dimitri. When they sent him off to Alice Academy, she gave him her ring, and resumed her teaching career.
They try to encourage him in his Alice use as much as possible, but his fear of his own abilities causes a lot of static between them and Dimitri. They feel they're helping him accept his power, while he feels like they don't understand him. His fear, combined with the pestering, has almost become a hate for his parents, but he knows he still loves them. If he didn't, he wouldn't be wearing the ring around his neck.
