Physical appearance ~ :
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.
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/Accessories ~ :
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.
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

Alignment ~ :
Neutral Hero
Behavior ~ :
Lysander is mature for his years, maybe because of the tragedy that has befallen him in past lives. He has seen many horrifying things, still suffering from them to this day. Even so, he likes to see the smiles of others, and above all things he values the peace and happiness of people.
Like a man with regrets, Lysander has many issues, and when a fight rears its head, he will always defend the party who he feels must be justly represented. He has no problem allying himself with someone less trustworthy to fight a common enemy, and he will not have qualms fighting with those who may have once been his allies. During trying times, he is a very serious and somewhat solemn figure, whose responsibilities supersede his own happiness or safety.
Lysander is constantly seeking atonement for his sins, and so has delegated himself as a defender of people, of innocence and of happiness. He sees nothing in the sides of light and dark or anything in between, and refuses stoutly to join one organization or another.
His freedom is greatly valued and his tendencies lean toward a sociable lone-wolf. He likes to joke, flirt, converse, and the like with just about anyone who'll have him. He is brave and dashing, but altogether distant.
And despite all of this, he is still a teenager, and in very many ways naive and innocent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Primary Weapon(s)
ID: The Six Spades
Quality: Average
This is a weapon set that consists of six individual weapons total, usually all of which are used in conjunction. More specifically, four hefty cleavers, colored silver, and made of an extremely durable material that is resistant to both weathering and impact. No matter how hard these cleavers smack against a wall, they will not chip, and in that sense they are extremely reliable weapons.
Each of these cleavers is silver, or chrome, in coloration, and is made of a blade which is four feet long and a handle of a foot in length. Along the sides, clouds are engraved which glow a white-blue while lofted by his telekinesis.
The remaining two weapons are revolvers which are heavily modified. Each revolver has a foot-long barrel, and is shaped such that instead of really looking like a gun, it more looks like a baton with a slightly angled handle. The foot-long barrel is rather wide, and this is because it is, in fact, two side-by-side barrels melded together. Because of this, there are two triggers, each requiring a separate finger to operate, and each having their own trigger-guard.
However, the strangest thing about these weapon are the highly modified revolving chambers. Three bullets can fit back to back in the extra-long chamber, and there are six chambers per barrel. So, the bath is as follows. 3 bullets x 6 chambers x 2 barrels x 2 guns. 64 bullets between both guns to start out.
Secondary Weapon(s)
ID: Rapid Reloader Belt.
A belt of circular fittings, each with enough bullets to fully load one gun. The belt consists of ten of these looped into a leather strap on his waist. Using this it takes less than a second to reload, via a swipe across the waist.

AP left: 0
Pick Me Up- Whiskey
This ability embodies the raw strength of Lysander's telekinetic abilities. As a telekinetic he has years worth of ability inherently trained into his brain, combined with a good dosage of raw talent, and enough sense to understand his abilities, he makes out to be a telekinetic of the movement style without equal. He can pick things up and move them to his his will without any hesitation, fear of failure, or, for much part, any effort.
This ability only counts for one third of Lysander's power, and as I've said, it supplies the extra oomph needed to get the job done. And it supplies well. Lysander can use his glass hands (telekinesis) to heft a good 400 lbs. into the air with little effort. By focusing (using his own hands to direct his telekinesis) he can increase this to 600 lbs. He can only focus if he can see what he's lifting.
However, on its own, this ability does have its drawbacks. As it is solely the essence of his strength it is both slow and unwieldy. Objects lifted into the air cannot exceed five miles per hour in moving in any direction, and are cumbersome in their handling. He can use this object to attempt to push things (which would increase speed in some cases, as he is not using any upward lift), but should he meet any resistance, (aside from general friction) like trying to push a brick wall down for example, his abilities are only three quarters of what they would normally be. This basically says that for most purposes, Lysander can only move things that haven't been "nailed-down" so to speak.
As he is a movement type telekinetic, Lysander cannot, say, use this ability to crush an object, and it only works on inanimate objects as well. The inanimate object phrasing does not apply to a person, their clothing, their weapon or the like although some specific abilities may apply.
Strength: Strong
Uses: Passive
Boot Dust
Just as Lysander has been honing telekinesis all his life, he's also had a unique style of staying out of battle, which requires constant training. As, aside from his telekinetic abilities, he has always been physically unremarkable relatively to his peers, so instead of doing what most do, and go the tough guy route, Lysander has instead perfected his use and control of an excellent physical speed.
With a body that has been fortified by sweat and experience, Lysander can reach speeds that are triple that of the average human, and can reach these speeds from a resting state relatively quickly. Additionally, this speed is not a statement of his non-combat or melee speed; this is a statement of general quickness, which means in every relevant action, he is moving three times faster than that of someone without any increases to such.
This is unrelated to his telekinetic abilities, and cannot be used to buff up his abilities through any use of cleverness or the like.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
But... Is that really all? Maybe something is... Missing.

Getting an Ability Upgrade off the bat, and considering both of these abilities have been RP'd in just about every thread Lysander's been in, I'm pretty sure he's eligible for that there RP discount.

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.
But... Is that really all? Maybe something is... Missing.[/blockquote][/size]

[blockquote][size=1]Getting an Ability Upgrade off the bat, and considering both of these abilities have been RP'd in just about every thread Lysander's been in, I'm pretty sure he's eligible for that there RP discount.
So that ought to be -150 munny right there.[/size][/blockquote]
It's more like an amassing of energy. I see an object as being in a semi-solid state of matter. Liquid or solid, yes? An inanimate object would be an object that does not express traits of life and is otherwise inactive, yes? So boulders, paintings, so on are liftable as long as they're not flying at his face. And I think not affecting enemy weapons, and clothing and whatnot is implied. :/ Or at least, I've always had the courtesy not to. I'll change that though.
*totally needs to revise his rules*
I did post in shades of grey if anyone even remembers that lmao
