[Laszlo]

Physical Description Day Phase Height: 6'2 Weight: 174 lbs Hair color: Changes Eye color: Amber Laszlo's Ethaefal form is handsome by most standards, able to pass for young, but at the same time possessing an ageless quality. His eyes are a warm, liquid amber, sometimes impossibly vibrant. The sleek horns coming from his temples, glassy and occasionally semi-translucent in certain lights, draw in an easy, circular curve. His hair is an agreeable length, forever a playful mess of waves and curls, changing color gradually with the seasons. More often than not, it is fashionably tied back. His fair, unblemished skin is a healthy color and sometimes gives off a bronze shimmer in the proper lights. He stands at over six feet with a good, firm build. He dresses in modest, common styles, usually with dark, earthy tones. Spring; Hair: Golden Blond Horns: Pale Lilac Summer; Hair: Reddish Chestnut Horns: White Autumn; Hair: Fiery Auburn Horns: Milky Red Winter; Hair: Moderate Brunet Horns: Forest Green Evening Phase Height: 6'2 Weight: 149 lbs Hair color: Dark Silver Eye color: Amethyst When the sun sets, Laszlo takes on the form of a Symenestra. Though he stands at the same height, his build is now thin and lissome, with the trademark elongated appendages of the Symenestra race. Laszlo loses his horns and some of the curl in his hair, trading his auburn for slightly longer, dark silver. On each of his fingers are long, wicked nails, sharp like claws and black as ebony. His skin loses its healthy color, becoming a more greyish hue, like the skin of old mushrooms, traced with subtle, delicate veins. This makes his sparkling violet eyes stand out like radiant gemstones against an otherwise achromatic visage. In this form, Laszlo appears to be a Symenestra in his mid 30s. When he shifts into his night phase, Laszlo usually prefers to let down his hair, allowing it to rest upon his shoulders. He usually wears a thick, leathery jacket in place of the chitin armor his once-kin are known for. The undershirt he wears beneath reveals his light build and thin waistline. In places where he feels a Symenestra would be an unwelcome sight, he often dons a hooded cloak, or a cowl in warmer weather.

History Beginnings The Ethaefal, a son of Syna who came to call himself Laszlo, fell into the Suvan Sea at dawn in the middle of winter, just off the coast of Syliras. Terrified, cold, and confused, he desperately swam to the only land he could see, motivated by a sudden and overpowering fear of drowning. He collapsed on the shore, where he was found by a fisherman's young daughter. He would later awake in bed, finding himself nursed by the fisherman's oldest daughter. The family allowed him to stay in their home, where he spent his first two days of life. He adopted the alias Laszlo at this time, which was the name of the family's deceased pet bird. A series of unfortunate events soon forced him to leave the city, setting him on a course for Alvadas. He learned what little he could about his Symenestra form during the journey, mostly through dark rumors of a monstrous race known for kidnapping young women. As soon as the ship reached land, Laszlo made plans to travel to Kalinor. The strange city of Alvadas was left behind and hastily forgotten, but stories of the place would circulate through the mountain caravan and settle in the back of his mind. Eventually, they would lead him back to the City of Illusions, a decision he would deeply regret. The Ethaefal spent about a year in Kalinor, a city devoid of sunlight, learning what he could about his former race. He discovered that some rumors were baseless, while others were true. Laszlo even discovered the remnants of his past life, the legacy left behind by Vethis Orthilia, murdered by a human in his young adulthood. Eventually, life in Kalinor became taxing and painful. Occasional trips to the surface to replenish himself with sunlight were no longer enough. He had also become a burden on his former family, coming to realize that he was no longer the person he once was. As much as he wanted a place to belong, to reclaim the feeling of fraternity he'd lost as an Ethaefal, he found it was impossible to reclaim his past and simply pick up where he left off. He was no longer a Symenestra. In the late summer months of 510, he came across an opportunity to travel back to Alvadas. Intrigued by the stories he recalled of Ionu's city, Laszlo took his chance and left. To this day, he considers it to be one of the worst ideas he's ever had. Set Adrift No longer seeking his past, Laszlo decided to carve out a life in the present, best he could considering his circumstances. Indoctrinated with Symenestra values, he sought to lay down roots, never thinking that a city with shifting streets would have other plans for him. Befriending a Ravokian human and a Lhavitian Dra, Laszlo co-established a small, hole in the wall tavern, selling cheap ale, lager, and later a Denvali liquor known as Degtine. There, Laszlo learned he had not lost everything--by being shown that he could still lose more. After another series of unfortunate events, Laszlo eventually found himself in Lhavit. There he resides, clinging loosely onto what he still has left.

Influences Since his fall, Laszlo has met a handful of people who have deeply influenced his identity and directly changed his life. Some of them have taken the place of family for the wayward Ethaefal, and some have left shadows on his character that he won't soon forget. Duvalyon Hellebore The Medic from Kalinor : The Symenestra medic Duvalyon treated Laszlo for a head injury at the Place of Purging in Kalinor, in the Spring of 510. Upon learning that Laszlo had no family and nowhere to go, he unexpectedly offered to let the Ethaefal stay with him and his Kelvic, Dor. Not only was Duvalyon the first Symenestra that Laszlo ever grew acquainted with, but he was the first person who had ever taken a personal interest in helping him. Despite Duvalyon's youth, he displays patience and wisdom beyond his years. Laszlo regards him as something of a mentor. More recently, in the Spring of 512, Laszlo recruited Duvalyon's help and medical skill for a deeply personal crisis. After traveling to Lhavit, they shared an apartment along with Abalia, an Alvadan human. After she died, Duvalyon returned home to Kalinor. Seven Xu and Victor Lark The Pair that Fell Together : In Fall of 511, Laszlo first met Victor Lark, a human from Ravok, at the Cubacious Inn in Alvadas. With similar childlike mindsets, they were quickly friendly with one another and joined in a lighthearted game racing through the city streets and over rooftops. Later, outside the Bizarre in Alvadas, Laszlo also met Victor's companion, Seven Xu, a Lhavitian Dra-Symenestra. With his mixed racial heritage, Seven was neither truly Symenestra nor truly Human, which mirrored Laszlo's own in-between identity. After a little convincing, the three of them partnered up and started their own Alvadas tavern, called the Sun and Stars. The demanding work environment put tension between Laszlo and the other two, as he became more aware of his role as a third wheel. Everything began falling apart when Laszlo found Victor and Seven in the middle of a cold-blooded murder, cruelly ending the life of a Kelvic raccoon named Roxanne. Learning that her death was legally sanctioned by Ionu's Wager, Laszlo kept quiet about it, but gradually any semblance of a friendship evaporated until he finally left Alvadas. While relations between Laszlo and Seven are still mostly positive, there is a simmering loathing with an edge of fear felt toward Victor. Abalia The Gambler from Alvadas : Laszlo's relationship with Abalia has been one of both deep frustration and blissful contentment. He first met the Alvad days after the death of Roxanne—Abalia's Kelvic bondmate. When Laszlo learned that Abalia was looking for her raccoon, he claimed ignorance and promptly decided to never associate with the girl again. Alvadas, however, has a life of its own, and seemed to keep pushing them together. Though Laszlo tried to keep away from her out of guilt, Abalia was fixated on him, inspired by her soft spot for Symenestra. Eventually his resistance eroded away, and he discovered that he was in fact very fond of Abalia's quirky and observant nature. Knowing that she had lost her only friend, the last of Laszlo's resolve was shattered by his profound remorse. He decided then that it was his responsibility to fill the hole that Roxanne had left. Their budding romance soon met with disaster. Not only did Abalia learn the truth about Roxanne, and that Laszlo did indeed know what happened to her, but she also discovered that she was pregnant with Laszlo's child. He panicked, not out of fear of becoming a father, but because he did not know what traits his child would inherit from its Ethaefal parent. His mortal side was Symenestra, which seemed to pose a very likely possibility that childbirth could kill Abalia. Out of desperation, he brought her to Kalinor and begged Duvalyon for help. The three of them traveled to Lhavit, where they could do more research at the Bharani Library in hopes of saving Abalia's life. She died on Fall 11th, 512, giving birth to their daughter, Avalyon. Avalyon The Daughter of an Ethaefal : Laszlo's infant daughter, born the 11th of Fall, 512 AV. She is named for both Abalia and Duvalyon, and affectionately referred to as Ava. Despite having a human mother and an Ethaefal father, Ava is a fully mortal Symenestra, with violet eyes and tufts of silken, graphite hair. In order to give Ava a normal, happy Symenestra life in Kalinor with the rest of her kind, Laszlo surrendered his daughter to the Hellebore Web, gifting her with two loving parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, and at least one very vigilant uncle. Fia Eaven The Blacksmith from Denval : She appeared at an opportune time when Laszlo was still grieving over the death of Abalia. Steeped in tragedies of her own, it was easy for them to draw comfort from one another's company. Neither could replace what each had respectively lost, but they both needed the same distractions and an easy kind of friendship that was light as it was loyal. Originaly from Denval, Fia struggled to find a place to root herself in Lhavit, so Laszlo offered to let her stay in Duvalyon's old room as a temporary arrangement. Fia's mortifying fear of Symenestra complicates this friendship, and although Laszlo tries to accommodate for this caveat, it can have a tendency to erode his patience. To foster a better truce with his evening phase, they occasionally spend time reading texts and old letters. Fia struggles with the written word, but Laszlo is glad to be useful. Recently, and rather inadvertently, they have both found themselves on a ship bound for Eyktol.

[Laszlo]

General Information : 1. What is your name? "Laszlo" suits. 2. Do you go by a nickname or pet name? "Laz" once. A favorite of women, usually. 3. How old are you? Hm. Technically three, by earthly standards. I've existed longer. 4. What is your height? Last I measured, six feet and two inches. 5. What is your weight? It changes. This shape in particular is surprisingly light. Aesthetics : 1. Describe yourself as you see yourself. I honestly don't think about it very much. 2. Describe yourself as others typically see you. Differs, depending on the time of day. Presently, mothers shield their children from me. So there's that. 3. What is your favorite body feature? I would say my horns, but at present I don't have any. So... my claws have surprising utility, wicked as you may think they look. 4. How physically fit are you? Fit enough. 5. How do you typically dress and what is your style? I suppose I look more Syliran than anything. I don't dress in Lhavitian styles, or even Kalinor traditions. A simple collared shirt, a jacket, trousers, boots, belt--I don't see the need for flair. Not as flattering on my night shape, however. Ah, well. Family : 1. Who are your parents and what are they like? Ethaefal don't have parents in the traditional sense. 2. Do you have any brothers or sisters? Again, not in the traditional sense. 3. What is your extended family like? Other Ethaefal in general seem chronically listless and thoughtful. I avoid them if possible. I barely have the fortitude to tolerate my own thoughts. 4. Do you consider close friends as important or more/less important than family? My friends mean everything to me. They are what I have in lieu of family. 5. Do you treat animals like family? Ah... no. Location : 1. Where were you born? I fell into the Suvan Sea, off the coast of Syliras. 2. Where do you live now? Lhavit, presently. 3. If you could live anywhere in Mizahar where would that be? I wouldn't mind living in Kalinor if they had a sunroof installed. 4. Do you have a favorite place to vacation or spend leisure time? Ideally, I'd like to visit my daughter whenever the seasons allow. 5. Where do you fear to be? Alvadas, Syliras, or Ravok. Traits : 1. Do you have any physical weaknesses (disease, scars, and missing limbs?) My left side bears the worst scars. Aside from that, I'm in working order. 2. Are you right handed or left handed? Right. 3. What languages do you speak? What do you sound like? Do you have an accent? Common and Symenos. I try to keep my Symenos in short phrases, as my accent becomes worse the longer I speak. In Common...

Nothing of the sort. I don't see a reason. Besides, I could end up living for thousands of years. Imagine how embarrassing a skull tattoo would look in a millennium. Occupations : 1.

What sort of relationship did you have with your parents? I pity anyone who had to raise me. 5. Who was your most influential rolemodel? He sighs. I've had to say this before, but don't pass it on. He'll gloat. Duvalyon Hellebore, by far. Education : 1. What sort of education do you have? Nearly everything I know is self taught. 2. Do you like/dislike learning? I enjoy reading, if that's what you're asking. Trial by fire is another matter. 3. Where or how did you learn most of your skills/abilities? Books, or direct instruction. I learned hypnotism from a mage, and Symenos from the Orthilia Web, primarily. 4. How do you learn best? Petching up, apparently. 5. What are your educational goals for the future? I've been more interested in the gods, of late. I'm fascinated by their mythology. Relationships : 1. Do you form close bonds with people? Why? Why not? Sometimes. I try to avoid it, but I am a sap.

I don't give it thought. 4. Have you ever been kissed? If so, describe the first time. I have. It was interesting, if meaningless. 5. Have you ever had sex? If so, describe the first time. Yes.

I've grown fonder of wines than before. I blame Duvalyon. 4. Have you ever tried drugs (mood altering substances)? If so, which kinds and what did you think of them? I have not. 5. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Be specific. I've no strong opinions, though the former doesn't interest me. Moderation is key, I suppose, but that's true for all things.

What do you find the most relaxing activity to do? Writing out my thoughts tends to unwind me. 5. What kinds of things embarrass you? Why? Revealing of past mistakes. Favorites : 1.

What, in your opinion, makes a successful life? Completing one's own goals, I suppose. Actions : 1. What is the worst and best thing you’ve ever done? He rubs his forehead and sighs.

Not taking greater care with Abalia, obviously. 3. What is your best/worst memory? Seeing her die is by far the worst. I don't really have a "best", but... Duvalyon's unerring support through that ordeal made my life a great deal easier. 4. If you could change one thing about your past, what would it be and why? I'd have never gone to Alvadas. Life would be simpler if I hadn't. 5. What are you the most proud of doing in your life? Ensuring my daughter has a good life, a name, and family. Emotions : 1. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings with others? I keep things to myself, most of the time. 2. Do you have any biases or prejudices? Not really. 3. What makes you happy? Easy companionship. 4. Who or what, if anything, would you die for? I'd die for anyone who was important to me. My life is not worth much. 5. What makes you angry? Senseless cruelty. Emphasis on 'senseless'. Relationships : 1. In general, how do you treat others? With cordiality and polite distance. 2. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? I don't feel comfortable answering that. 3. Who is the person you respect the most, and why? Duvalyon Hellebore, for his piety and his masochistic penchant for self sacrifice. 4.

What do you think of others, in general? I try to live and let live if possible. It's not my place to judge. I'm only a visitor. Self Image : 1. What is your greatest strength as a person?
