Alexia Jordan/Introduction

     Alexia was born in Dallas, Texas. Not the most grand or high tech place to grow up, but she enjoyed it there. Her parents owned a nice ranch home just a ways outside of the Dallas/FT. Worth Metro area. While she enjoyed the horses her family kept and raised, she wasn't much interested in the whole cowgirl rancher kid thing. She found computers at a very young age. The internet was something of a life raft for her, rescuing her from the hours of endless boredom of ranch life, so far away from the city. It was online where she found friendship and entertainment.

     She began learning various forms of coding almost right away, being of a curious mindset she liked to dig into things and explore how they worked and why. More importantly, she loved figuring out how to make them do things she wanted them to do. She programmed her first program at ten years of age. By the age of twelve she had made her first grand, legally selling a program she had created to an interested company. The money continued rolling in afterwards more quickly than she really knew what to do with.

     She didn't let her parents in on this secret of hers, being a child, she didn't have any idea how strapped her parents were for cash. Being parents, they never wanted to worry their child with such harsh news as "We're about to lose everything."

     She was fifteen when she first really hacked someone's computer. Oddly enough, the person who's computer she'd hacked turned out to also be another hacker. It became something of a game between the two of them, hacking each other, browsing each other’s files, even rearranging one another's desktops and downloading twisted taboo or downright strange pornography onto each other's computer.

     It wasn’t long, however before the two rivals formed a strong friendship which only grew stronger and stronger as the weeks turned to months and months turned to years. Eventually Lexi learned the public identity of the young woman she’d been hacker-rivals and friends with for so long. Soon Lexi began requesting custom music from the hacker-musician and they began to share more information between them about their ‘real lives’ outside of the internet; though even that information remained somewhat limited.

     Six months before Lexi’s eighteenth birthday, her parents died in an automobile accident. Everything came crashing down on her. Her world was dramatically altered in an instant. Her tendency toward staying at home, burying herself in computer games and coding only increased. She probably made more money coding in those few months after than ever before simply as her coping mechanism. It was only when the bank arrived with a final notice on foreclosure that she realized she had to step into the real world.

     So she carefully handled all of her parents’ affairs, settled all their remaining debts, put the ranch up for sale and waited for a buyer. It took a few more months of people coming and looking at the place and choosing other places before finally the right people came along and bought the ranch.

     Lexi took her most prized possessions, loaded up her car and started driving. She had no real idea where she was headed, but she ended up in California. It wasn’t that she knew her hacker friend was nearby, just two hours south in L.A. that couldn’t have been what drew her to Prospect. She wasn’t a stalker or anything.
