Physical Description

Laszlo has lean, boyish good looks with a pretty face, warm red-brown eyes and long, dark lashes. His brows are thick and square and his hair is a dark, forest green that is almost blue in some lighting. He keeps it cut fashionably though currently it is short on the sides and medium length on top so that he can style it as suits his mood. Laszlo has warm, tanned skin and his cheeks and nose are covered in dark freckles.

His build is tall, lanky, and athletic. He works hard to tread the line of being lean without being too skinny and strong without being all rock-hard muscles. Laszlo claims that there should be some squish with all that muscle because while he is a masterpiece he is not made of marble.

Outside of uniform, his clothes are always stylish and well put together. You're not going to catch him in anything but nice things. This boy isn't going to run around in sweats and holey t-shirts. He is also always wearing a full face of makeup. The colors and exotic designs depend on the day but he is always trying something new and extravagant. It's not all butterflies and rainbows either. Laszlo dresses not only to impress but for the job. He is a Scorpion and the name of their game is terror. The helmet may match the makeup but the entire ensemble fits the agenda of the day.

Additionally, Laszlo has had some body modifications. He has a septum piercing, a tongue piercing, and both his nipples pierced. He also has tattooed on the low of his back a battered and bandaged heart with a pair of angel wings, one bloody, broken and missing feathers while the other is still clean and pure.

Personality

HUMPTY DUMPTY SAT ALL PRETTY ON A WALL
Laszlo is confident, proud, and vain. He takes his appearance very seriously and works hard to keep it just so. He will gladly let you think that the mask he presents on the outside is all there is to him. He is exuberant and warm to the point of being labelled flamboyant. Laszlo is a flirt and never stingy on the compliments if it means making someone smile or roll their eyes. He aims to please and enjoys the attention that his status and appearance afford him. He's a lot smarter than the pretty boy he'll let you think he is though. Great things have always been expected of him since graduation from Candidacy.

HUMPTY DUMPTY HAD A TERRIBLE FALL
Beneath the mask though are deep cracks in his veneer. Abuse broke his spirit some time ago. Laszlo was forced to put on a brave face to the outside world, to pretend the boy with all the smiles still existed inside. His past has turned his naive, blind trust in the good of others into wary caution. There is always that extra second of hesitation where he is analyzing your every word and action to find the ulterior motive. He has seen the darkness of humanity in ways he never imagined from those he thought he could trust the most. As such he has gotten quite good at playing the part assigned to him. Laszlo will gladly play the part of your diva prince, but take care with how hard you push him. You might not like who you find buried beneath the mask.

HUMPTY DUMPTY PUT HIMSELF BACK THE FUCK TOGETHER AGAIN
Free of the shadow of his abusers, Laszlo is doing his best to heal. He attends his therapy sessions which he hates and goes through the motions of being fixed. A lot of it is spent with him painting and his therapist trying to analyze it. It's all a bunch of bullshit in his mind so he's working through his trauma himself. It hurts like hell but he's going to stand tall for as long as he can. Maybe it's faking it until he makes it or maybe he's actually getting better. Laszlo sure as hell isn't sure but he's not giving up yet. There are good days and bad days. When the days are bad he tries to hold off on showing it until he can be alone when he can break and bleed his heart out before getting back up and walking out the door, his happy-go-lucky mask back in place. He still has his flings and his dates though he has some very clear set and unspoken boundaries in place to protect himself. He isn't going to be hurt again but he isn't going to let that stop him from having fun, or that's what he tells himself.

Things
  • Spends a lot of his money on manicures and beauty products. Definitely knows his stuff too so honey don't you dare try and sell him last year's winter collection.
  • While most of his artistry is applied to makeup, he is also an amateur abstract painter. He has a walkin closet that he uses as a studio and will paint in there when in a mood. Not something he mentions or shares with others.
  • Loves music with lots of bass. Often sleeps with headphones on as the vibrations relax him.
  • Very much hates being alone and so tries to spend as much time out and about, keeping busy as he can.
  • LOVES hard candy and lollipops but finds gum vile. His pockets are usually filled with empty wrappers and extra candies. His favorite flavor is Mango.
  • Enjoys theatre productions.
  • Favorite squad in the games after the Scorpions is the Alicantos. Definitely would have wanted to become one had times been different and life hadn't gone the way it had.

Magic/Abilities

Telepathy: Laszlo is a weak to moderate telepath. He can communicate back and forth decently enough. The trouble is he's not very good at locking away his own thoughts. It is not uncommon when in an excitable mood that his thoughts will bleed out loud and clear for anyone able to and within range, to hear.

Vibrokinetic: His main ability is in detecting environmental vibrations. His hearing itself is not heightened but rather he feels everything. Every footstep, every heartbeat, every small movement that creates a tremor is his to read and know. Laszlo has gotten very good at differentiating between the sensations to determine individual "signatures" but he is also able to focus enough to tone everything out and follow one "pulse" to its source. His range is large though not necessarily instantaneous. It takes him as long to pick up on a vibration as it takes it to travel from its source to him and the vibrations are weaker depending on distance and resistance in the way.

A secondary and weaker ability linked to his vibrokinesis is the ability to absorb and suppress vibrations around him. For example he can move very quietly simply because he stills the vibrations caused by his feet. He could also potentially stop someone's heart, though that is infinitely more difficult and would take large amounts of concentration.

Relationships

Family: Still home in Apcintoch. He talks with his parents almost weekly and the conversation runs almost the same without fail. He has a good relationship with them and the routine of the calls gives him a feeling of normalcy that he loves. Also has three younger siblings who all still live at home.

Margad Scorpions: His squad are his coworkers and his team. He trusts them to have his back as he has theirs. He’s been through some shit with the older ones and has a great deal of respect for the things they did to help him though he does feel the divide created by the healing process they are all struggling through. It's definitely something he wishes he could talk about with them but feels wouldn't be well received. As for the newer members, Laszlo does his best to be personable and friendly with them. The Scorpions aren't his family but that doesn't mean they can't be his friends.

Braytok: A female dragon with scales that shimmer between yellow and green depending on the light. Her wings are attached to her forelimbs and her tail has extra sails along the end. Her teeth have been replaced with several rows of sharp metal ones. There is also metal plating down her spine as well as all around her entire neck. She is surly on a good day and downright venomous on a bad one. It's been a couple thousand years since she's had a good day.

History

Born and raised in the heart of Apcintoch during the war, Laszlo grew up dreaming of going into fashion and makeup and if he was very lucky one day working with the Pilot war heroes for PR stunts. His ability as a vibrokinetic did not develop until he was older either so it was pretty expected that the scrawny little boy wouldn't ever do much else.

When he was fourteen though it was like a flip switched. The hairs on the back of his neck that used to stand on end only during loud noises or too close encounters were constantly "aware" now with every little movement. It got to the point that he was constantly suffering from vertigo and his parents had to drag him to the doctor for examination. It was only then that his vibrokinesis was discovered and he was re-tested for possible candidacy.

His telepathy was considered borderline but it was still a time of war and Pilots were needed. Laszlo was shipped off to ATC and while it wasn't what he had always dreamed of, he could not be happier. His bright personality earned him friends and his brains got him through his studies. His telepathy improved enough to advance so up and up he went through his stages. Perhaps it was that he was that good or perhaps it was that they were that desperate for recruits but in four years at the age of eighteen, Laszlo was a Pilot Cardinal and a Margad Scorpion at that.

The war may have been closing but there were still insurgents to handle and the Scorpions were in the thick of it. Laszlo could not have been more excited to join the fray, serve is country, and of course look fabulous doing it. How little the lamb knew as he entered the slaughterhouse. The other squad members might have often spoken of their recently fallen brethren Laur who died right before his recruitment, but Laszlo could not help but resent the dead man. After all maybe if he hadn't died then the young man would not have been forced to take his place.

Several years of trauma left their mark when all was said and down though Laszlo will forever be grateful that it is over and done with. It was some time before he was able to come out of his shell but once the shock of it truly being over faded, he threw himself into being "normal" again. It is questionable how much it has helped but day by day he is getting better. He has his squad, old and new and he still has his family. There have been a string of casual boyfriends but he usually runs before things can get too serious, claiming boredom when pushed on the matter.

[NOTE: ONLY SOME HIGHER GOVERNMENT PILOTS AND SCORPIONS MEMBERS WHO LIVED THROUGH THIS ARE AWARE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO GET THE OLD LEADER/COMMANDER ARRESTED. It's probably one of the only things that can sober Laszlo in an instant. He will not discuss it and prefers to ignore it happened. He's moved on and what happened is none of your business.]
