History: Lysander was born in the world of Trinn, a relatively peaceful place in the long run, unfortunately under star of war. In a time of political unrest he grew up in a small village called Calico in the middle of a large dry wasteland. The soil was red and hard as the bedrock beneath it, and desert surrounded them on all sides, but Lysander knew it as home.
Born to Jareth and Tienna Mae Kray, the town sheriff and a stay-at-home mother, he lived the good life. Wealthy, popular, and handsome, he was one to always have a healthy following of friends. In spite of this fact, he never seemed to actually grow close to any of his friends, and often felt alienated. Upon telling his father and mother about this feeling, his father immediately took the boy under his wing, and for several years they were never seen apart from one another.
Jareth taught his son many things, most of which included methods of self protection, and how to use a gun. Being a physically weak boy he was raised on the philosophy that you dodged and avoided attacks rather than defended and countered against them. Keeping distance between himself and his opponent was key because there was no way he could win if he took even a single hit. This resulted in a fighting style in which Lysander never threw or blocked a punch.
At the age of twelve he was more popular than ever, just starting his pretty boy tendencies. He began lifting weights not for muscular strength, but rather for build and showy muscle. This was, of course, around the time he started noticing girls, and enjoyed impressing them with his flashy gun play, and physique.
Having all but abandoned his friends for his life of girl-chasing and playing lawman with his dad, they began to despise him, and so began two years of the worst bullying of his life. Regular beatings ensued for so much as showing his face around the wrong part of town. He couldn't do so much as tell his father because not only would it make him seem weak and even traitorous, but fine upstanding boys in such a small town would never do such mean things.
Things only went downhill from there. Seeing that he was fairly uncool, and that all the muscle and gun play was just for show, girls tended to avoid him. Spending time with his father diminished due to longer hours spent sulking in his room out of a sort of depression. Soon he stopped showing his face around town altogether, finding a secluded spot out in the desert where he could sit in his quiet lonesome, and do generally whatever he wants.
As he turned fourteen, two major events would shape Lysander's life into an even more complicated and confusing place. Lysander developed his telekinetic abilities, a rare but not altogether nonexistent trait, and for a short time found respite in practicing his telekinesis. He began only moving waves of sand that were already in the air because of the wind, but soon gathered the strength to pick up motionless objects all on his own, and move them about.
Within only months of discovering this ability, however things turned for disaster. Trinn's capital city, Ferrith, had been overtaken by a traitorous militant group that had emerged from within governing body itself. A coup d'etat if you will. Thus soldiers were sent outward from the capital and other supporting cities to quell what rebellion there would be.
About to go home from his place in the desert, he was intercepted by the militia who had been sent to raze Calico to the ground for their support of the old king. In exchange for his own life, he sold out the location of the town, how it was laid out, all citizens capable and willing to fight back, and any other information they asked of him. As they took him hostage, they made him watch the death of all the people he'd grown up with in the place he'd grown up in.
Over the next few years he was raised as a soldier, killing enemies of the new empire for a living. He took up drinking and smoking, with late nights spent gambling. Despite his regret for every life he took, he was one of the empire's most efficient killers, and by far their best telekinetic. He kept a journal in which he detailed his life, the only place he let his emotions run free. By the age of fifteen he stopped writing actual entries, and began only adding tallies for every victim by his hand. When at sixteen the journal was full of tallies he stopped keeping journals.
At eighteen when he was pressured into inciting another coup by a small group of politicians who didn't believe in the current dictator's way of doing anything he accepted. The politicians told the dictator that Lysander was being reviewed for valor shown in battle, and planned on rewarding the telekinetic soldier. What the group of politicians did not factor in, was the psychological state of the boy.
When it came time to kill the dictator, Lysander summoned not only both revolvers, but all four of his cleavers as well. Needless to say, he killed everyone in the room, not just the alloted target. It was this final act by his hand that tipped the balance of their planet over the edge, and Heartless began sprouting up everywhere, spreading their darkness across the land.
Lysander escaped for his own life, taking the prototype of the dictator's upper atmosphere gummi ship off the planet altogether. Not designed for interplanetary travel the gummi ship shut down in the middle of space. Reflecting over his life he prayed to whatever gods that be that he'd never take a life, and that he'd never do anything to devalue his own life if only he survived.
On the verge of death, Lysander fell asleep and in a bright flash of light, during the final moments of his own world, he was teleported to Traverse Town. Waking up in a room of the Traverse Town hotel thoroughly confused he paid what he owed and left, looking for a bit of harmless work.

Appearance:
Physical Features: Lysander is somewhat tall in height at five feet and ten inches and weighs approximately one-hundred and ninety pounds. This has resulted in him being fairly lean, but the weight he does have is a large percentage of muscle. His arms and legs appear particularly long because of how lean and cut his body is. In overall top to bottom shape his body is lithe and smoothly connected, the same sort of feel as a snake where everything just flows together. His body almost seems feminine in it's lean curves and it weren't for his obvious muscular definition he'd likely be mistaken for female a lot more.
Facial Features: Lysander has thinly set eyes with red irises, giving him a semi-permanent cold and ruthless expression. His black hair is parted down the center, leaving two bangs to fall loosely to either side of his face and the rest of it's abnormally straight length is pulled back in a ponytail that reaches just past his shoulder blades. His ears have pointed tips and lobes, only adding to his sharp and hostile appearance.
Clothing: Lysander has a fairly unique wardrobe to be sure, with two general outfit styles that usually fall under the same color schemes and pieces of clothing. Either his traveling style or his settling style. Conceptually very simple, he wears a certain style of clothing for whether he is on the move or hunkered down in a particular place for the time being.
When on the road, as it were, Lysander wears tight and comfortable clothing that isn't likely to get in his way should he need to any particular activity. His t-shirt is Navy blue with a zipper down the front, and two thick white lines (one horizontal and one vertical) that meet over his heart. The cross is outlined in silver, giving an otherwise bland shirt a bit of flash. He wears a loose pair of black pants that just start to get baggy towards the shin, but even back out as they reach his ankle. Down one side of the pants he has thick silver markings that resemble the smooth and spiked nature of the Nobodies. The pants are belted just above his hips, and a second belt with several square pouches hanging off it hangs loosely around his waist.
When moving about whatever place he may be calling home at the time Lysander goes more for a personal comfort and appearance based wardrobe. This often results in him moving about shirtless, with only occasionally an open fronted jacket or long coat. His pants are usually more slim and form fitting than his regular traveling pants, and he usually wears three or four belts around his waist in addition to the one going through the belt loops. The clothing is usually fairly plain in design and ranges from gold and red to brown and black in color.
Despite the chosen outfit, Lysander often has a pair of sunglasses and a cowboy hat with the sides of the brim pulled up.
Miscellaneous Items/Articles: Lysander has several tattoos scattered around his body, a pair of butterflies resting on the line of his hip, three stars on the back of his right hand, and four Jacks (playing cards) across his shoulders
Personality:
Resolve: Lysander is resolved in one general way and that is to live his own dream. That dream being to enjoy his life as it is, and to work towards become rich and famous for his abilities at a young age age. He has no motivation for revenge against some mysterious antagonist from years ago, and he's not out to improve the world through love and peace. Like any person he's had his ups and downs in life and he's come out of it all a relatively happy and carefree person.
Pursuit: Lysander sees his goals as the only reasonable ones for him to pursue. Everyone has to go through good times and bad but that's no reason for him to go around killing people and disrupting the lives of others, or getting in the way of other people's hopes and dreams.
Fears: Lysander has a fear just like his resolution in life. A general all encompassing fear that covers a lot of things and a lot of ways those things could take place. He has a fear of dying, or even worse living an unsuccessful life. He's desperately afraid of dying, as it is his firm belief that death is an ultimate end from which there is no return, and any false step in life could lead to a lot of wasted time further down the road.
He wants to be recognized and loved and die long after he's lived the good life and done the things he wants to. This being said, anything that hinders that goal is something to be feared. In general this could be dire sickness, being killed, unhealthy practices (including but not limited to: alcohol, cigarette, and caffeine abuse), or debilitating injury.
Hopes: Lysander honestly doesn't have much to hope for other than his own happiness and well being; as well as, that of those close to him. Of course he hopes for his perfectly planned life to succeed and his fears to not, but he likes to think about things realistically. Hoping a dumb idea in a hopeless situation. You need to be able to rely on yourself.
Hobbies: Lysander doesn't have much in the way of hobbies, instead focusing on the important things in his life. Practicing his flashy and showy fighting methods is what he spends most of his free time doing. Truly, the only thing that seems to fall under the category of being a hobby is his flirtatious tendencies, which seem to entertain him no matter the result.
Public Personality/Private Personality: Like most people Lysander is very, very different when in the presence of strangers as opposed people he is comfortable with and anywhere in between. When in public with total strangers, he has a firm wall built up between them, a sort of mask if you will. This mask consists of a lot of upfront action, flirting and socialize. When there are people he doesn't know and has never seen around it seems to liven the man up. Of course he can hardly ever be taken seriously for anything he might end up saying when in this state.
His other mask is a very different one. Quiet, soft spoken, timid in the ways of presenting ideas, and scared of people in general. When surrounded with people he's comfortable with he doesn't tend to talk much, and doesn't trust anyone he's not comfortable with to do so much as ask for an autograph without some hidden malicious intent. This can result in him coming off as quite a jerk, possibly amplifying feelings people already have towards him for his flirtatious tendencies. Often he reserves himself to chores around the circus before going off by himself to train with his weapons.
There is, however, a third personality trait. One that is rarely seen, and hardly ever by more than one person. Because of the delicate game of lively and serious that he is often switching between, should he make a mistake and throw off his delicate balance of emotions he goes into this state. When he's not wearing a mask. This state is one in which he experiences his own raw and uncut emotion, and allows himself to express it to the world without regard for the feelings of others. Insecure, weak, scared of the world and of everything, these are only a few of the words that partially describe how he feels in this state.

Weapons:
Weapon Name: The Six Spades
Weapon Description: This is a set of weapons designed uniquely to fit perfectly with his abilities and style of fighting. The set consists of two long-barreled hand guns and four straight-bladed long swords. These weapons are all relatively regular, despite being wielded with his telekinesis and summoned at the drop of a hat.
The entire set is styled in silver, and oddly enough for Lysander's flamboyant taste, is very plain in adornment. The guns are silver, with a triangular barrel that is a little less than a foot long. The chamber resembles that of a revolver, the only major change being the increased amount of shots that can be loaded and fired from one full chamber. Each chamber can hold three shots, and there are twelve chambers, equaling out to a total of thirty-six shots without needing to reload. This of course means longer reload times. The only real artistic design to the guns is a series of cloud-like engravings along the barrel and the handle.
The swords are extremely basic single-edged cleavers about a four feet long, with three foot long blades and foot long handles. They have no guards, and are generally not safe for hand-to-hand combat, but work very well for the wide cutting and broad sweeping motions that his telekinesis allows. Along the blades are the same style of elegant cloud-like engravings.
Unique Notes: The guns are unique in that they have one other alternative ammunition. By siphoning his magic energy directly from his body he can fire shots of refined energy in either a rapid fire mode, or a charged shot mode which requires a larger amount of energy and preparation time but deals a larger amount of damage on contact.
Abilities:
Base Ability: Telekinesis
Sub Abilities:
Pick Me Up- With his telekinetic abilities, Lysander can lift and move things through the air by exerting magical energy. Though already adept at using these abilities, he can fine tune particular movements, strengthen and increase the speed of moved objects by focusing his hands over the objects and puppeteering them about. The size and wait of the object as well as the amount of time carried determines how much energy he spends.
Change Of Plans- This ability targets inanimate objects that are already in motion, such as projectiles, falling debris, and the like. While Pick Me Up focuses on the movement of objects, Change of Plans focuses on the trajectory of objects. It does not affect speed but rather direction. For example, say he fired a bullet straight forward. Using this ability Lysander could cause it to spiral, turn left, dive down, serpentine, et cetera. However this ability does not allow for sudden changes in motion. Only gradual adjustments can be made. A bullet cannot be going straight and then instantly going right, but it can curve to the right.
Tripwire- This is a field ability that is almost always active in a large span around Lysander. Usually up to fifteen feet around himself he applies an extremely light telekinetic pressure against all surfaces, essentially allowing him to "see" everything within fifteen feet of his body. Performing the ability doesn't take much energy over short periods of time, or when he isn't using much energy in excess, but Tripwire is not usable in combat situations, seeing as how maintaining it would require large amounts of energy and processing the information gathered during combat would be nigh impossible.
