Name: Landon Black Age: 24 Gender: Male Sexuality: Pansexual Faction: Neutral Occupation: Flower Shop Assistant Manager Playby: YU-GI-OH, ryou bakura/yami bakura Traits Positive Empathetic Respectful Inquisitive Logical Meticulous Open-Minded Organized Negative Lonely Doormat Cynical Self-Loathing Proper Secluded Detatched History "Miss Black, there's something treatable, but wrong with your son." He was sure those were the first words from the doctor to his mother. A woman married to a family for nothing but social status- the child she felt no attachment to and nodded. With a combination of the lack of actual love- Landon was named by a distant grandmother. His mother took care of him physically- but rarely entertained the emotional turmoil that would soon grow in the boy. Being in such a distant family- he was often chastised for being a child. It wasn't physically abusive- but their ideas of not coddling children were rather extreme. Landon was raised strictly in home school and due to his almost rather absent food schedule was to blame for his ridiculously clumsy nature and unhealthy body. This pursued quite a bit as his parents actually became more and more in his life. Do the things they asked- he would be left alone. He got away with quite a bit with his nightly trips into his own world. Exploring the backyard and learning about the outside world by just watching. He wished for friends, for a life of his own, a home of his own. Around the beginning of his seventh year- he was informed almost absently that he would have a sister. Excited- someone he could converse with and play with? Homeschool might not be really bad with someone else! His sister was named Linda- and he loved her very much. He made every day special for her as they grew up in the distant family. He learned how to sew so he could fix her bears and doll dresses- he ate better since he cooked for her. However the distant family was not one his sister could live with for very long- as he had a more detached spirit than she. Even she would smile- it was always more and more distant as the days went on. As Landon was introduced to more intern like work in the family business of keeping people alive- he spent more time with people and less with his sister. He didn't like it- but he always kept the faked smile that he and his sister had a perfect ability to show. When he was sixteen- he found he disliked coddling the living because no one treated him like he was living. He liked holding the left behind that he often felt he was a part of. No family to grieve for -but feelings that he desperately wanted. It was something that he was much more used to. He wanted to become a mortician- or a medical examiner. Give a reason to death. Death was something he grew more and more interested in. It was this that probably sparked the downfall of his sister. He shared his thoughts- as he thought nothing was out of the ordinary. She asked questions as she always did- dressed in her cute doll dresses herself. He noticed something was off- but they had both fooled each other for so long- it wasn't surprising to hear such questions or feel that sometimes something was off. When he was nineteen- he...was shocked to find the bloody letter. His sister- simply 16 years old had killed her family. Letters sent anonymously to papers and computer bloggers were completely telling the story of the Black children. She was smart for her age- her IQ was test to be abnormally high for that age...but someone so young having no other choice but to poison her mother and father and then mutilate them...was jarring to him. He was quickly thrown into the spotlight of Georgetown- the brother of the family-killer. The relative of the 13 year old who committed Parricide. The Black Children were seen and debated on TV- and in a way, it was hard for Landon to even...live normally. He was depressed to live in that house- see the flowers that he told her were poison...but in her letter specifically to him- she said it was her choice. "Landon, do us both a favor and live. We would never escape from these monsters. My thoughts tormented me again... and again. I could never escape the thought of doing something so terrible. You were an innocent angel to me. I know that you might not understand what I did...but if you do anything, keep growing like those plants you admire so much." He owns the dark house by name- but used the money to buy a small apartment in Sumner City. He got a job as a flower shop attendant by a woman who felt pity for him. With his love of flowers- she welcomed him with open arms and tried to be there for him as he tried to grow. When the incident happened- flowers seem to respond to him as he responds to them. When he's embarrassed- flower seeds might leech off his energy and grow on him. When he's nervous, vines might grow and try to show their defense. It seems odd- but flowers talk to him and he talks to flowers. He's not sure if his sister is still committed- but he does know he still sends letters to her even after Peace blessed his hand. Insignia Level 1 "Vines of Glory" - Level 1 - This insignia is mostly used for very defensive situations at it's full power. Three large tendrils which look like rose stems come alive to usually impale whatever has scared him. It makes him pass out and usually drains him of his own nutrients leaving him dehydrated and deteriorating at a rapid pace. He can't actually call his ability, it simply responds as it sees fit. However because of this- he is able to send nutrients to flowers and plants that are not attached to his insignia as well. Passive: One would realize really quickly that there was a 'ghost' like creature following him around. A guard like creature with a foul mouth is named Cadeyrn. Taking a similar appearance to Landon- he seems to have his own personality and is Landon's backbone. He wants to try to turn the boy into a criminal- for some reason, but no one is really sure why and only that he's not been successful. Extra Knows poisons - It might be somewhat ridiculous, but he learned most flowers that are easy to get could be considered poisonous in some doses. It was a morbid curiosity at first but he took solace in it. When children bullied him, he thought about slipping something into their food. It was ridiculous and he doesn't like to mention what he thought about committing- but he keeps it to himself if he can. Poisons are not something that someone would want to go up against him with. Avid Reader - Landon is a extremely avid reader. He doesn't care for movies above books and often will inwardly frown if people say the movie was better than the book. He prefers words he can read not people that can speak. Landon is not adverse to books...but they can't always get you with jump scares which have made him conk his head against a chair and pass out. Has two cats - He has two cats- that were once ferals around his workplace before he just took them in. He named the grey one 'Smoke' and the black one 'Fire' because the two are always together. "Where there's fire, there's smoke and where there's smoke there is fire." The two sometimes will visit the shop during the day but stay out of sight. He enjoys their company and they help calm him. Likes salads/greens - This might be the reason that Landon is so practically underweight is because he normally only eats salad, lettuce, grapes, apples, and other such things. Because of these habits of eating like a rabbit, he's more than likely always a few pounds underweight. He doesn't feel the effects simply because it's not that drastic and he doesn't spend his time exerting his body. Can cook/make good tea - Something he picked up from his home economics class. He can cook rather well and fend for himself. He also makes a wicked cup of home made tea. He can dry the leaves and herbs and really just make some rather well rumored tea. There was a small little rumor that if you came in the shop at exactly the right time- there would be tea. Survivalist - Despite him having literally no body strength- he is capable of surviving on his own. He often would hide in the shed when his family was over and knows how to make food last and how to even catch and cook basic foods. He knows what to do with danger and how to create fire. It seems out of sorts for most people- but he just said he always had a 'knack' for it. Wishes he could do his real job - His original job path was that of a mortician or coroner. A weird dream for a man who loves flowers- but he likes the mystery of what happened to a person and how to put the pieces back together. It's not something he admits often (As most people find it strange and weird) so he is often leaving out key details of his dreams. He doesn't have the money to go to college- so he's simply just trying to build up to that. Good with money - Since his parents are now cut off- and he didn't go out of his way to try to find them, he was good with money. He was careful- always had a budget- and could say no to basic things. If anything, he was on top of his money better than some financial accountants. Is good with basic games of strategy - While no genius, he is able to think of basic strategies in games that are a little higher than average. He doesn't brag but he certainly enjoys the fact that it's something people admire- since he's got one terrible self-esteem issue. Can't draw for the life of him - Stick people would be a compliment.
