Any traits goofball has mirroring Carver are just down to him having been born in the apocalypse, not so much a genetics thing or any inherent malice. AJ doesn't look like he is a kid of a mixed couple. Looking at his appearance, he seems to be Alvin's son. Personally, believe hes Carver's.

This page focuses on the relationships of Alvin Jr..
Clementine has her first interaction with the baby at the lodge. Rebecca offers to let her listen to the baby kick, to which she can accept or decline. Clementine is saddened when she thought the baby died in labor, but when the baby is revealed to be alive, she warmly smiles to the newborn and gathers around him along with the others. Later that night, Rebecca offers to let her take the baby, because they are family, to which Clementine can choose to accept or decline. If Clementine accepts Rebecca's offer, she is seen smiling as she rocks the baby.

In "No Going Back", Clementine has the option of rescuing Alvin Jr. after the Russian group ambushes them. If she fails to do so, Luke will rescue him instead. Later in the episode, Kenny hands the baby to Clementine in order for him to search the power station. As AJ starts crying, Clementine will be able to calm him down with multiple methods, showing that the two are starting to build a connection. Later as the group rest at the power station, Kenny takes care of AJ away from the fire, and Clementine can invite Kenny to return to the fire in order to keep the baby warm, showing her care for AJ. Further on, at the unfinished house, before Clementine goes outside to help Kenny, she will turn towards AJ showing her concern for him, but Jane reassures her that she will look after him. Later when Clementine returns, she finds Jane and AJ in a different room and AJ begins crying. Clementine will pick him up and he will instantly quiet down, further enforcing their growing connection. Clementine will then feed AJ but become worried that they are running out of baby formula. After the events of the blizzard, Clementine arrives at a rest area to find Kenny, and the two quickly worry about where AJ and Jane were. When Jane arrives without AJ, the two of them appear shocked and horrified, with Clementine requesting what Jane had done to him. Later after the fight between Kenny and Jane, Clementine will hear AJ crying from afar, and will instantly dash to find him. As she does so, she quickly picks him up and cuddles him, further proving their bond. No matter what options Clementine chooses, Clementine will be with AJ at the end of the episode.
In Season 3, flashbacks display Clementine to be very protective to AJ. Clementine act as his guardian and even affectionately calls him Goofball. Clementine had a strong bond with AJ, making it goal to find and get him. Clementine is hostile towards people, like Lingard, David or anyone who gets her way to find him. Through the season Clementine has many flashbacks about AJ, and in way considered him as her son.
In Clementines flashback in "Above The Law" Clementine is trying to steal medicine for sick AJ. When the group finds out about it, David wants to kick her out. Regardless, Clementine still thinks that she made a right call, because all she wants is to save AJ's life. She is furious when David takes AJ away from her and demands her to leave the boy. Clementine can fight back or say goodbye to AJ. If Clementine says goodbye, she can tell that she loves AJ. AJ's first word can be Clem's name. After leaving the group and AJ, she is heartbroken, especially when she thinks that AJ is dead. Clementine seems to be very happy when she finds out that Alvin Junior is alive. For the rest of the third season she is desperate to find AJ. She even agrees to kill doctor Lingard in exchange of information about AJ's whereabouts.
After learning where AJ was, Clementine went out searching and was searching for so long she nearly gave up, but eventually found him in McCarroll Ranch. After finding AJ, at first, for the short time the boy seems to not remember her. Clementine can say that she missed him and that she will never leave him again. She promises him that they will find a home together.
In Season 4, Clementine and AJ have been surviving together for a while. Clementine taught AJ how to survive, including how to shoot a gun. Other basic skills taught by Clem include reading and presumably swimming.
Kenny loves Alvin Jr. as if he was his own son, stating many times that he is going to raise him right and not make the same mistakes he made when raising Duck. Kenny is the person who decides to give Alvin Jr. his name, as well as giving him the nickname AJ. Kenny will do anything to make sure AJ is safe which causes a rift with the other survivors in the group, with Luke describing him as being creepy. When Kenny thinks Jane has killed AJ, he attacks Jane in revenge and tries to kill her. If Clementine doesn't kill Kenny, he will be relived when he finds out that AJ is safe. If Clementine decides to leave Kenny, he will tell her to look after AJ and raise him properly, and to tell him about everyone who died to keep him safe. If Clementine stays with Kenny and travels to Wellington, he will insist that they allow Clementine and AJ in without him. If Clementine refuses to leave, they will walk away from Wellington together. If, however, Clementine goes into Wellington with AJ, he will say his goodbyes to them, and he will give Clementine his hat, so that she can give it to AJ when he grows up.
While Kenny's relationship with Alvin Jr. is clearly one set up for a father and son, Kenny's feelings towards the baby are of a more symbolic nature than developing a bond. After losing Sarita, Kenny falls into a deep depression as he wishes Carver had killed him, seeing that he had no real purpose left in life. When the group finds out that he was the only one who knew how to deliver a baby, he sees it as his purpose to do so. After young Alvin's successful childbirth, Kenny sees the baby as the future, both figuratively and literally. He becomes obsessed with making sure the baby was ready for the harsh world it was born into, putting nothing before the safety and welfare of Alvin Jr. After Rebecca's death, Kenny believes himself to be the only person able to take care of him, as he had used to be a parent. Although he will sometimes allow others to care for Alvin, he does this because he is unsure of his ability to handle Alvin while performing another task that the group knows (or Kenny believes they know) that only he can do, such as holding Arvo at gunpoint while walking through the forest and across the ice or fixing the truck outside the unfinished house. When Jane arrives at the rest stop without the baby boy, he finds himself again without a purpose in life, driven to live only by the will to destroy the one who had stolen his reason to continue. It is very possible that Kenny would have just laid there next to Jane's corpse after killing her and waited to die had he not heard Alvin Jr.'s cries. Upon refocusing himself on keeping Alvin safe, he no longer believes himself to be the best protector of A.J., going as far as to beg Edith to accept Clementine and Alvin Jr. into Wellington without him in order to keep them safe. If Clementine disputes his request and refuses to leave him behind, he accepts her choice simply because he felt his self-confidence restored by the eleven-year-old's words and the opportunity to personally prepare A.J. to become what he wished his own son would become if he had more time with him. Overall, Kenny's feelings for Rebecca's son were not formed out of a natural emotion, but rather as gratitude for saving him from depression.
Edith was sympathetic and shocked to see a baby with Kenny and Clementine, as it had been so long since she'd seen another baby, given their circumstances. Edith was joyful and thinks Alvin Jr. is adorable. Edith will offer to take him and Clementine inside Wellington. If Clementine came into Wellington with AJ, Edith will act as a guardian for both Clementine and AJ, who seems to be comfortable about her, possibly looking to her as a motherly figure.

Clementine rolls a dead Edith off AJ with her blood on his face and AJ starts to cry.

The recent Father’s Day post from the official Skybound page teased (if not confirmed) Carver as the father. Also Alvin’s voice actor confirmed Carver was the father as well. There were also plenty of in game clues that pointed to Carver.
Apr 16, 2017 · I believe Alvin's VA confirmed that Junior is Carver's son. It was about 2 years ago and his words aren't official, but I took it from here and always assumed that AJ is gonna show some carverness in the future.
Based off the writing, I’m pretty sure he’s canonically Carver’s: • In S2E2, Rebecca outright tells Clem that Carver is AJ’s father, and that her and Alvin tried multiple times but she only got pregnant after being with Carver • Carver’s signature gun is a revolver. AJ begins S4 maintaining his signature gun… also a revolver.
He is also the protagonist of the short story, How I Protekted Clem. He first appears in Season Two, returns in A New Frontier in flashbacks, and later appears as the deuteragonist and a playable character of The Final Season. He is the son of Rebecca and possibly, Alvin or Carver.

Aug 14, 2018 · AJ never even met Carver, or Alvin for that matter so I think their influence on him would be minimal at best. I realize this is getting into the whole nature vs nurture debate but I'm of the mind that even if genetics influenced people's personalities it wouldn't be nearly as much as their circumstances and how they were raised.
