![]() LEE TOLSTORY LINDEN WithxxanxxINTRODUCTIONxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➷` ♛ NAME ➠ xLee Tolstory Linden ➷` ♛ NICKNAME ➠ xThe Heir (apparently to mock). ➷` ♛ AGE ➠ xSeventeen. ➷` ♛ GENDER ➠ xMale. ➷` ♛ HEIGHT ➠ xFive feet eleven inches. ➷` ♛ WEIGHT ➠ x166 lbs. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ StartsxxwithxxthexxPASTxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ➷`♘ BIOGRAPHY ➠ x Lee has lived at Aurora Academy ever since he was ten. His father is always in the school, working as the director, so he had no choice. From thorough exploration of the school, he knows a lot of its secrets and its twists and turns. He knows the best places to nap and is friendly with most of the staff. Growing up, the whole school was his playground. Lee's father is from a very wealthy family and the school is his inheritance, as it will be Lee's. Lee's relationship with his father is decent at best. They are courteous to each other and they talk to each other if they must, but that is where the positive side of their relationship ends. Lee respects him like one would respect an old rival and he tends to avoid him now that he has one-sidedly freed himself of responsibility as his heir. There were times when his father's actions (like forcing him to attend the Academy instead of letting him follow his mother) made him feel mutinous, but he has learned to deal with it in his own way. Lee's mother is Japanese and also from a wealthy family, but her occupation is a no-name wood craftsman and painter. When Lee was born, he was showered with her love, her warmth, her gentle reprimanding. But when Lee turned ten, she judged that he was old enough to fend for himself and left to travel around the world and paint. She comes back home to the Academy approximately once or twice a year. Lee loves her deeply and wishes he could blame her and hate her for leaving him so often, but he can't, so instead, he turns his anger towards his father and blames him for not allowing him to travel with his mother. His mother and his father have a very close relationship, but Lee doesn't like to admit they love each other. He is an only child and he's terrible at sharing. Lee is technically childhood friends with the Royalties, as his parents are friends with their parents and he is always being dragged to their social gatherings. He was integrated into their group almost by default. But then, he got her mad enough to off him. She decreed his banishment in front of everybody and then effectively ignored him for a month (which was worse). To this day, Lee isn't entirely sure what exactly set her off...it could have been any number of things. He has had a (childhood) crush on Aria for the longest time and shamelessly declares his feelings to her pretty much every time he sees her, completely disregarding the appropriateness of the place and time (as well as the cheesiness of his lines). And he has been rejected, sometimes frighteningly well, more times than the gossips can keep track of. Lee also tends to tease her a lot, like a little boy and he used to play tricks on her when they were younger, which didn’t end up so well. No one takes his confessions seriously anymore, but Lee keeps at it to get her attention. Is he simply fooling or is he just that foolish? Only he can tell. Lee grew up getting into fights. His happy-go-lucky attitude and the half-truths about him receiving "special treatment" as the son of the owner pissed many people off, especially the local boys outside the Academy. At first, Lee simply tried to run away and got beaten up, but he soon learned how to run really fast, dodge really well, and occasionally throw in a good tackle-punch. He doesn't provoke physical fights intentionally and usually takes care not to become the target of the King or the Jester (he has learned the hard way) -although arguably, Queen Aria should be scarier. He attends all his classes, but he never has his homework done and does poorly on his tests. The teachers know not to call on him during class because the answers he gives make no sense whatsoever and prove distracting. It’s the general assumption that he is only passing because he's The Heir. However, he does actually work hard for the final exams, even if he fails everything else. Normally, he wouldn't care to do this, but he threatened to end their friendship if he used his father's influence to pass. His latest fights, his disregard for rules or social convention, his rocky relationship with them, and his odd habits are usually the subject of gossip among those at the Academy. He is avoided by most students and his only friends seem to be him, and a handful of staff. NothingxxtoxxCHANGExxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx➷`♕ PERSONALITY ➠ ♛『 Naturally optimistic. ■ ■ xx Probably his most useful trait. Very few things get him angry or down. He tends to see the good in people (what is ‘good’ to him anyways). ♛『 Spoiled rich kid. ■ ■ xx He is spoiled materialistically and has no qualms about spending large sums of money on ridiculous objects or events. He sees money as pointless and worthless if one doesn’t spend it immediately. Also, if someone doesn’t lay out his clothes for him in the morning, he walks around in his pyjamas the whole day (this has happened several times, even the teachers have gotten used to it). ♛『 Persistent (fool?) ■ ■ xxHe does what he likes and if he can't, he chases it. He's the kind of person who likes someone to the bloody end and since that is what it takes, he forgives and forgets easily. ♛『 Shameless eccentric. ■ ■ xx He is not exactly stupid, but not exactly (completely) insane either. Often, he’s just weird. The things other people take for granted, he seems strangely oblivious to and common sense often does not apply to him. He seems unequipped with pride or sense of shame and promptly cries when he's sad, laughs when he's happy, and kisses when he's angry without caring about where he is and who he's with, making him a ridiculously easy target for gossip. He “likes to put on a show” as they sarcastically put it. ♛『 Can be quite the hypocrite. ■ ■ xxMisleadingly nice, and only if he notices you. He seems friendly, but he can be just as apathetic as any of them, and his world just as narrow. Outside the circle of people he really cares about, he is sweet and easy-going to anyone. However, irresponsible and thoughtless, he may treat you like a buddy one day and forget your name the next. Not to mention he dodges his responsibilities as an ‘heir’, but doesn’t shy from making use of the benefits of the money and power his family holds. …But he knows this. He’s the kind of person who knows himself really well, right down to his shortcomings, even if he doesn’t act like it. Arguably, this makes him even more of a hypocrite. ♛『 Maddening. ■ ■ xxIt is hard to tell if he does it on purpose, but he has a talent for making people irritated, annoyed, or downright angry at him. From his blithely unconcerned attitude to the way he childishly side-steps confrontation and brings you down to his level, he is good at this. Besides, ironically, Lee seems almost free of his duties as an heir yet still maintains the advantages of one and seems to never have to work as hard as others. Unfair isn’t it? myxx*xxSOULxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ➷`❀ LIKES ➠ xxxxx ♡ xxHer. Lots and lots. xxxxx ♡ xxHim. xxxxx ♡ xxSoy milk. xxxxx ♡ xxWatership Down by Richard Adams. xxxxx ♡ xxTie-dye shirts. xxxxx ♡ xxHugging. Anything. Anyone. Anytime. Especially when he’s tired and needs to lean on something. xxxxx ♡ xx Horror movies. Gore movies. Roller coasters. Biking down cliffs. Standing up in an open convertible. Hugging Aria. Walking on the railing of a roof. He’s a complete thrill seeker. ➷`❀ DISLIKES ➠ xxxxx ☹ xxHis cousins; they were his childhood nightmare. xxxxx ☹ xxHis is closeness to Aria. Is he unreasonable enough to dislike the guy for that reason alone? Yes. xxxxx ☹ xxBeing grouped with other people. xxxxx ☹ xxCar rides that last more than ten minutes. Traffic. ➷`❀ QUIRKS ➠ xxxxx ★ xxLee follows his own sleep schedule and takes short, concise naps during the day and prowls about at night. And he conks out just about anywhere. It freaks the freshmen out when they find a body laid out in one of the more secluded hallways or in the WWI history aisle of the library underneath a bookshelf. He seems to be the source of the rumour that’s been going around about the library being home to a ‘dangerous’ homeless person (either that or the kids are getting worse at making up excuses for why their research papers aren’t complete). xxxxx ★ xx Lee has a (bad) habit of kissing people when he is especially mad at them (although it is rare he gets angry –his berserk button is very specific). He has kissed his father a couple of times, (never his mother), most of his cousins (male or female) at least once, and some random guys who were sadly at the wrong place at the wrong time. He even almost kissed The King, but he got killed before the kiss actually landed. His face stayed purple and bad things happened to him for weeks afterwards. This is why gossips tag him as bi, although this assumption is completely untrue. xxxxx ★ xx He has an offbeat sense of humour -laughs at the wrong/odd things, and he often completely misses the point when someone throws him an insult/snide remark (defence mechanism?). xxxxx ★ xx Lee has a talent for finding things. Even more so when the area is crowded or disorganized. He was the hide-and-seek champion and it annoys Aria how he seems to be able to locate her so easily and pop out of nowhere (although she made use of it when they were little by making him fetch her stuff). xxxxx ★ xx Mucking up school textbooks and test papers is his hobby (he likes to cross stuff out in textbooks and tests –labelling them as misinformation, adding random/irrelevant details, doodling in the margins) –in fact he does this with most books and assignments; it drives the librarians and teachers nutty. xxxxx ★ xxFor a guy who has such poor work habits for class, Lee reads a hell of a lot. He has already made his way through over a quarter of all the books in the library and continues to read on his own an average of three hundred pages a day. In fact, the library is really the place where their friendship started. PickxxyourxxFAMILYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ♀ Jay Linden ➠ xA wilful, but warm person. Very independent and very focused on her art and on living life the way she wants to, those who love her are left behind almost cruelly in the process. She is kind, but selfish and somewhat of an eccentric herself (yes, it runs in the family). She is adored by both husband and son. ♂ Gregory Octavius Linden ➠ xA stoic man of dry wit. Strict and disciplined with himself and others, but he can be flexible about the things that catch his interest. He and Lee only seem to get along through Jay, and even though they share the same genes, they treat each other as enemies and rivals for her attention. They are in a constant state of war, and their relationship is built up on several shady give-and-take deals. Gregory takes great pains to try to get his son to face his responsibilities as an heir, and yet it was only during the time Lee was in their group that he able to get him to listen to him. After that, it was a downward spiral. He gets quite a headache from all the signature scandals Lee seems to be the main culprit behind. ChoosexxyourxxFRIENDSxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx `•.¸¸.☆ ➠ Him. their friendship was rather unexpected, as the differences in their personalities were striking, but it developed into something lasting. Lee warily respects his powers of observation and doesn’t mind his unsocial nature at all. `•.¸¸.☆ ➠ Her. A rather one-sided friendship, as she can’t seem to stand him. They have known each for over ten years and as children, Lee used to be shyer around her and certainly more obedient (with occasional slips) and Aria more tolerant of him. This all changed as they grew up. `•.¸¸.☆ ➠ Them. He knows each of them pretty well, and they him. They use to be good friends with him as children but now that connection is sort of shaky. His apparent hypocrisy irritates them and they tend to side with Aria. Whump. Eyes still closed, Lee sat up immediately. He rubbed his forehead in pain. Books slid to the floor in collective thumps. “So I am a restless sleeper after all,” he murmured sleepily. Thoughtful, he eyed the disarray of books that surrounded him; the ruins of a once decent fortress. He came to a conclusion. The roof would be a reasonably dangerous option. He then picked himself up and magically unearthed a carton of soy milk from underneath the incomprehensible pile of stuff beside him that was once his bed. Grabbing the books he had so innovatively stacked as a ‘fort’ around him and then slept in the previous night, Lee swiftly propped them all up in line like dominoes, arranging them so that Frog Mannerisms trumped Huckleberry Finn. Meanwhile, his soy milk was dutifully drunk. A rap on the door interrupted his look of deep concentration and his unfocused thoughts. Lee straightened with a questioning look. It could be anyone yet it was a surprise that anyone would bother him here. Most people had left the academy, and it was well known that Lee didn't actually sleep in his dorm room anyway. While basically all the students had gone home, Lee had stayed at the academy over the break -hiding from the director, persuading the staff to make lunch for him, and occasionally using his dorm room for experiment purposes. Lee had seen no point in going back home when Aurora academy was larger, more entertaining, and filled with the security cameras that he adored playing tricks on. Besides, he hated cars and the house-his-family-called-his-proper-home was some distance away. Lee called out to the knocker in sing-song. “What’s your verdict on this morning? Sir? Madam?” A moment of silence. Then, “Enough of your nonsense Mr.Tolstory,” was the muffled monotone reply from the other side. “Bingo, sunshine!” Lee shouted cheerfully as he strode over with practiced ease (i.e. managing to not trip over/step on anything in the sea of stuff that littered the floor) and yanked open the door with enthusiasm. His smile widened when he saw who it was. “First day of school has come already, huh? Who needs calendars when Father’s representative is so prompt to delivers his expectations of me, for me for the year, every year?” Stern look in place, the man motioned as if to go into the room but then hesitated at the site before him. Clothes and unrecognizables strewn across the floor, wrappers and half-heartedly crumpled pieces of paper littered on his desk, smears of paint and only half of it on newspapers, and stacks of books high enough to kill a man. Lee evidently hadn’t let the cleaning-lady in for the whole summer. As he didn’t every year. Curiously noting the man’s fleeting look of exasperation, Lee continued to smile brightly. “Now dear sir, what may look like a brat’s irresponsible mess to you is simply a demonstration of my faith in the skills of the Academy’s cleaning staff…” Edited by Lee.Linden, Feb 13 2011, 02:15 PM.
