Name: Landon T. McAllister
Title: None
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 17 (Born August 5)
Hair: Blonde, medium-long, straight. Sometimes wears a headband to match his outfit, if so it's worn as a headband, coming around the center of his head and tucked behind his ears, tied at the base of his skull underneath his hair.
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 160 lbs.
Complexion: Just barely tanned, smooth with a few freckles on his forearms and cheeks. Scar on his right shoulder in a simple diagonal line, ending at his collar bone.
Build: Toned, but not muscular. More like a lean dude. ;]
Noteworthy Features: Always wears a dog tag necklace that says 'June' on one side, blank on the other. Has a scar described in 'Complexion' section.
Attire: Generally wears whatever is comfortable, but more specifically jeans and printed t-shirts or polos. Wears sweaters during the winter time, but not those giant itchy ones your grandparents wear; likes to be fashionable, but casual at the same time.
Appeareance in a Nutshell:
Personality: Was once very bullying, rude, sarcastic and cutting, but a recent tragedy in his life has changed his entire demeanor. Is now a bit more reserved and aloof, but still has his silver tongue in case he needs to use it. Relatively anti-social, but it is indeed possible to make friends with him if you can appeal to him. In his Academy, he has taken on the secluded handsome man role, but perhaps new friendships and a new crowd will allow him to come out of his shell...
First Impression: Landon would typically eye the approacher in disinterest, though he wouldn't turn his attention away entirely. He is used to being used and followed, so he doesn't really have a good opinion on people. He's more likely to make a smart remark either on purpose or simply by accident, or perhaps even crack a joke. It depends on the 'good situation'. In bad situations, he's most likely to stick up for himself should someone try and start some trouble, using his quick wit and sharp mind to overcome his antagonists rather than his weapons.
Weapon(s): Valkyrie, a long wooden staff that has a strip of golden metal engraved, wrapping around the shaft for the entire length of the weapon.
Armor: Just his clothes.
Magic (Low focus = less chance of spell succeeding, less damage and vice versa):
White Magic
Cure/Cura (Revitalizes character 25%/50% of health. Drains mana a little/some. 40% base accuracy, +.5% per Focus point.) [A swarm of white streams swirl around Landon's hand before swimming out to envelop the target in a revitalizing light.]
Green Magic
Haste (Speeds up character. Drains mana some, drains focus some. 20 minute duration. 30% base accuracy, +.5% per Focus point.) [A translucent speeding-up clock appears over the target's head.]
Protect (Adds to the defense of the character. Drains mana some. 20 minute duration. 30% base accuracy, +.5% per Focus point.) [A radial green light spins in front of Landon to form a concave magical shield before fading away slowly.]
Shell (Adds to the magical defense of the character. Drains mana some. 20 minute duration. 30% base accuracy, +.5% per Focus point.) [Red laser beams swirl around Landon, spinning upward to form a dome of crimson light before fading away slowly.]
Black Magic
Fire (Casts a little fire damage against the enemy. Drains mana a little. 30% base accuracy, +.5% per Focus point.) [A good sized fireball shoots out from Landon's hand, with red sparks cracking behind it as it goes outward.]
Blizzard/Blizzara/Blizzaga (Casts a little/some/a lot of ice damage against the enemy. Drains mana a little/some/a lot. 30% base accuracy, +.5% per Focus point). [Ice shards shoot at the target, 'exploding' upon contact.] [Pillars of ice shoot out of the ground in a deadly trail towards the target.] [Streams of ice swirl around the target, encasing him/her/it in a suit of ice before exploding.]
Thunder (Casts a little lightning damage against the enemy. Drains mana a little. 30% base accuracy, +.5% per Focus point.) [A 'sonic boom' of electrical energy is launched at the target, sizzling upon contact.]
Leech (Absorbs the enemy's focus. Drains mana a little. 80% base accuracy, +.1% per point of focus.) [Blue bubbles float out of the target's hands, snaking towards Landon's hands and coating his arms in a blue light before fading away.]
Osmose (Absorbs the enemy's mana. Drains focus a little. 50% base accuracy, +.25% per point of focus.) [Red bubbles float out of the target's hands, snaking towards Landon's hands and coating his arms in a red light before fading away.]
Special Magic
Barricade (Throws up a penetrable wall of magic. This wall is divided into 'sections', all pieces not visible to the naked eye, but lighting up blue when touched/ran into. Serves as a mobile 'Protect' spell of sorts, used in RP as a forcefield that the enemy has to attack aggressively to get through. Drains mana a little, drains focus a lot. 65% base success, +.1% per Focus point.)
Doomsday (Landon uses his magical properties to 'explode', sending out a radial wave of energy that has destructive properties. Intensity of the blast is determined by how focused Landon is. Drains mana a lot, drains focus a little. 40% base accuracy, +.1% per Focus point.)
Magus Soul (Landon uses opportunities in the battle to take a bit of time to refocus his thoughts. Raises focus some, lowered defense. 65% base accuracy, +.15% per Focus point.)
Abilities/Skills: Very persuasive. Also knows how to cultivate herbs, permitting him to create his own echo herbs and phoenix downs should he have the necessary resources.
Quick History: Landon McAllister was born into a musical family, with his father playing the piano and his mother a singer. From a young age, he showed great signs of intelligence, but it seemed to be misplaced as all he wanted to do is go out and cause trouble with his friends. In school, he was the class clown and simultaneously the handsome and flirtacious male vixen, but his mere personality was enough to put people off. Crude, sarcastic, and witty, he was able to turn anything said about him and throw it back at his naysayers with class. Such is the reason why Landon fell into the wrong crowd, and resorted to drinking and vandalism throughout his pre-teen years.
Although he had (and still has) an impentrable exterior, there is indeed a softer side to this young McAllister. Writing and music are his passions, though he hides these things to prevent himself from appearing to be the "sensitive metrosexual freak". It was his birthright to become an artistic man, but he was not proud of this fickle lineage, instead wanting to be the clean-cut leather jacket wearing social alleycat that no one would pick on or push around. That wasn't the life for him.
At age 16, disaster reared its ugly head as it somehow conveniently does no matter what the circumstances. One day, Landon decided to come home and visit for a bit, having gone through exams at the Academy and already quite stressed. When he entered the threshold to his humble abode, he would find
It was at this point where Landon's life completely changed,
Landon changed. Instead of being the suave and critical class clown, he refined himself into a more mature man, even though he was still a teenager. With a life plagued by deception, greed, and misfortune, he threw away his past, changed his attitude, and changed his outlook on the world. So much time had been wasted, Landon did not know if he could make anything out of his life anymore; his peers were already focusing on their expertises, while he had no talent to describe thanks to his churlish antics for the past many years. Although he did not want to, Landon knew that he would have to dive into his studies and work to become a decorated cadet at his Academy not only because he needed to graduated, but
Now,
Landon exists as a questionable entity, not quite finding his place in the world, and now having no social clique to rely on to carry him through life. Now, he was on his own. Now, he had to make his own path to follow, without holding anyone's hand along the way.

his mother dead on the couch, a bottle of whisky in the now limp hand that barely grazed the floor.
his last source of inspiration and motivation gone since his father was in the military, and was seemingly stuck there for life.
