♠Appearance♠
Laird is mostly slender across his body, his legs carry a bit more muscle in comparison, but overall he's a young man very much in healthy shape.
He has dirty blond hair that curls up on the top side of his head and keeps the sides a nice neat trim in comparison. He is currently working on a beard as well.
Typically he'll dress in jeans and a t-shirt when out and about. His T-shirts usually depicting some vague message that the latest trend is trying to convey, that or it just looks good on him.
♠Personality♠
How in the fuck am I alive.
The most recent, and most obvious, depiction of how Laird acts is when he's both piss drunk and absurdly high. He literally dove out of a window 20 stories above solid concrete, and managed to survive. Don't believe it? Check Pilot chat history. Normally he doesn't go out of the way to do these things. Every time he's in a fight or near death experience, he manages to survive, often unscathed, and he has no clue as to why.
I really don't care, but I'll do it anyway just don't leave out any details
Laird is very upfront about things. Both in reception and delivery. He may throw out the occasional flirty line disguised as pun, but if you tell him to get you a sandwich without specifying anything. Be very prepared to receive the worst sandwich you've ever tasted. Bottom line is, you tell him exactly what you want and he'll get it for you. Anything up for interpretation is a bad move.
*More will be added later as I see fit*
♠Relationships♠
Momma and Papa- Very much alive and well, but they live all the way in Solarta. After a lot of incidents at home throughout his childhood, Laird chose to be as far away from his parents as possible. He still visits them for Yule and other big holidays.
Caetan- Black dragon with a big heart for the kid. Chose him because he manages to stay alive so damn well.
Robin - Laird's brother was very much older than him. He was sent off to fight in the war and never came back. He has an homage to him in the form of a necklace with a picture of his brother holding Laird above his head.
Xalk Trevan- Distant cousin

♠History♠
Laird grew up with a pretty normal childhood. If you can call not dying and scaring the living piss out of other kids normal. He always had this "shadow" around him, he never knew it was there but whenever he needed it, he always managed to come out untouched. To others he appeared to be haunted and thus was isolated from the norm. He didn't particularly care.
The only thing that truly scared him was the dark. Unpredictable, always there, the haunt of not knowing what could be lurking around the corner was utterly terrifying. The worst part, it was always under his bed.
Dun. Dun. Duuuun.
Unbeknownst to him, the darkness bent to his will and was savior in the times of no light.
By the time Laird reached candidacy his fear of the dark was not nearly as present compared to childhood. He learned how to bend at least the very light of it or lack there of. To create shadows with absurd realism. He wasn't the brightest in his classes but managed to get by.

Stage 2- 14
Stage 3- 16
Stage 4 - 17
Stage 5 - 18
He now works for JJ's in Samariel just getting enough money for booze and dandylion while also managing to pay bills.
♠Abilities/ Gear♠
Umbrakinesis- Can bend shadows with absurd realism. He'll often use his telekinetics to read another's mind in order to adjust the shadow to scare the piss out of whoever he's using it on.
Extreme Telekinesis/ Best Friend he doesn't know about- Normally Laird is fairly adept at telekinesis, can move basic crap that he'd normally be able to lift with his body and such. The real fun happens whenever he's in a fight or die situation. His "shadow buddy" will pump out an absurd amount of telekinetic force in order to save him from said situation. 99% of the time it happens for a mere instant, and 100% of the time Laird never knows what the hell is going on when it happens. A subconscious safety mechanism that will trigger when need be.
Telepathy- Basic telepathy that only got better through candidacy. Max range about 10 meters or so.
