I'm going to step right in over here and mention that this won't make the cut, especially with a Manakete. Firstly, we've had a long time ban on Halflings and Manaketes as a class are heavily regulated. You'd need a lot more than this. Secondly, this topic has lots of the information you'd like regarding Manaketes on the board and I recommend you take a look. You might want to check out this along with looking at other profiles to have a firm grasp on what is generally accepted. Also, amnesia is a lazy excuse to neglect writing a character's background, sure they don't remember their past. However, you yourself as their creator should not be suffering from the same ailment and should still be able to write how all of Alex came to pass.

To supplement this.
Essentially, because of how Dragons and Manaketes work irc, the moderators typically don't let someone's first character become one; I imagine there is the rare exception as there is for most things but point remains. In general though you'll want to vastly expound on various details for your profile. For appearance. What color are his eyes? What does his hair look like, style and length? Does he have any distinguishing details like scars or the such? What traits might someone notice first on him? How tall is he? What clothing does he wear? This especially gives an image of the character, and often adds to some uniqueness as most characers stand out based on armor or garb. All just suggestions.
For your personality. You say he has a short temper. Well..why? Again just a suggestion, but why not give some insight into what makes him tick? Giving greater insight into his thought process and how he see's things can really distinguish him as a character people may like or dislike.
Now the fun one. His story. Disregarding Amnesia for now. If he's a Manakete(Since half manakete's are not allowed) You'd have to go into his history. They live a VERY long time. However honestly, I'd suggest choosing a human as your first character until you see how the site handles dragons and manakete. Regardless. You'll want to go into his upbringing. How he developed himself. Experiences that shaped him and brought him to where he is now. People of interest he might have interacted with. Things like that.
Hope some of these help you out! I have a strong suspicion that the mods will need more even if you had chosen not to make a manakete so I suggest taking a few looks at other character profiles that have been accepted.
