Landon Henry Robinson
- Age/Birthday:
18; March 10th, 1994.
Gender:
Male.
Overall, Landon's tall and slightly lanky. He stands at six feet and two inches, being just a little bit over the average height for guys his age. He's got a thin, but toned body shape, his stature not being that intimidating. Without his height, he'd be the type of guy you'd take money from at lunch. But, rather, he's too pretty for that. Landon's arms and legs are the same type as his body: lanky. His arms are long and skinny and his uncle used to say that they were noodle limbs. To make his uncle feel better, and himself, Landon started lifting weights and running miles everyday. He's become a lot more toned that what he used to be like. One thing that strikes people odd about Landon is his shoe size. His feet are rather small, being only a size seven in men's.
Landon's got a relatively heart-shaped face with a chin that's slightly more pointed instead of rounded or squared off like most boys. His chin also sort of juts out just at the tip of it. Most of the features on Landon's face are sharp and sculpted out nicely. Landon's cheekbones are high probably the high-light of face, where all the light hits. While he has high cheekbones, the way his bones are structured in his face, are so that they're lying lower into his skull and so his face becomes rather smooth looking, actually. While Landon sometimes appears with a bit of stubble, most of the time he likes it clean off his face. He doesn't like the feel of being stubbly. Though, sometimes he's just too lazy to shave.
Right in the middle of Landon's face is Landon's thin nose. He's got an aquiline type of nose that goes straight down and he's been told that it symbolizes a good tactician. He's also been told that it's a sexy nose. Right next to his nose on the left side of his face is a beauty mark a little bit low under his left eye. Girls also thinks it's sexy. He doesn't. Now on to his eyes. Landon's eyes are a bit different indeed; he has one green eye and the other is blue. Nobody really notices this at first glance because the colors don't stand out that much because they're both so light, but if you were to look at him instead just glance, you'd find that they're completely different. Landon's blue eye is almost like the sea while his green eye is the color of jade. Framing his eyes are a pair of very long, almost feminine eyelashes. Above Landon's eyes are two dark, and slightly thick, arched eyebrows.
Landon has hair that most girls seem to love. He always keeps it styled one way or another, whether that may be to slick back the front of it, spike it up, or wear the front out. Either way, girls love it. Landon has never not styled his hair, of course, except for when he was a kid, but now that he cares about his appearance, he tries to look nice for everyone. His hair is a light brown color with dashes of red and gold thrown in randomly giving him a high-lighted look but it's all totally natural. While it's very tame and does whatever Landon wants it to do, it's still very thick and doesn't react well to humidity. So when it's hot, he usually stays inside.
Now because Landon's got money coming from his uncle and he's got his own credit cards, he's rich, so he likes to dress nicely. He'll usually wear a button-down shirt and a tie if he feels like it, or just a short-sleeve button down shirt with a pair of black slacks. When he does wear jeans, he usually wears it with a short-sleeve button down shirt or an open button down with a white t-shirt underneath and a hat of some sort. Landon always wears a watch on his wrist. It's usually his Rollex that his uncle purchased for him one Christmas. On his feet he'll usually wear a pair of dress shoes.
Personality:
Landon's the kind of guy that likes to goof around a lot. He likes to tell jokes and he'll get off topic extremely fast if you don't constantly remind him what he's doing. He's a lot of fun to be around and a cool guy to hang out with, but he can often become a black hole of fun. Meaning, you can't always get yourself out of the Landon Hole. Despite the fact that Landon's always joking around, he can be serious when needed and he knows when that is... usually. He's the kind of guy that you want to have around when you're feeling sad or bad about yourself because Landon loves to cheer people up.
Landon's just generally a people person. He's an extrovert and he just to loves to be around people. He doesn't care whether they're smart, dumb, old, young, ugly, pretty, or whatever. He just loves people that much. Landon gets all his energy from just being around others. He's the same around new and strangers as he is around his friends: loud and a bit obnoxious at times, but a real hankering for adventure and just something to do.
While, Landon's the kind of who goofs around and is lively, he's got a slightly darker side. For whatever reason, Landon's come to terms with the fact that he's not good enough. Not good enough for anything and he takes it out on himself. He's very critical of himself and everything that he does. He doesn't let anything that's near failing pass his standards. Landon has very high standards for himself, he sets his goals to be exceptionally high. But he only expects this of himself. Never of others. Landon's what you would call a try-hard, I suppose. When Landon makes a mistake, it is not to be taken lightly by his standards. If anything, he'll rethink it over and over again in his head until he fixes it.
Though Landon is very critical of himself, he's not a perfectionist. Not by far. He's still a sloppy teenage boy, but he just has daddy problems. That's all. Landon's fine with failing at some tasks; it's just others that bug him. If it's extremely important to Landon, he'll make sure that he does a good job at it and blows it away. However, if it's not his, then he really doesn't care.
When Landon makes a mistake, he's often covering it up with a joke or just trying to laugh it off, attempting to pass it off as something he doesn't care about. Landon finds that this joking around method works for a lot of other things, too. If he's nervous, he'll often crack jokes to try and make himself and other people around him feel better.
Unfortunately, another thing that ties in with Landon's personality is his inability to forget about what people are saying about him. He's constantly worried about what people say about him, think about him, perceive him as, and especially what they write about him. He's also a little bit self-centered at times, too and can be slightly attention-whoreish.
Because of Landon's heritage, he's got a certain kind of aura that surrounds him like his own sort of atmosphere. Landon's aura is strong, raw sexual magnetism. Of course he's sexually attractive to girls and 'potential mates' as he likes to say. His father is Eros, the god of sexual intercourse and love, so often Landon can be pretty good at the sweet-talking. But he really doesn't even have to try, girls are just naturally drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Plus... his accent helps.
God Parent:
Eros; the god of love and sexual intercourse.
Mortal Family:
Joanna Robinson; Not much is known about Landon's birth mother except that she's US intelligence and that she gave birth to him. Landon's never even met his mother, except for four months after he was born but that's it. Joanna kept her personal life very seperate from her work life and her intel. life extremely seperate from everything else.
James "Jimmy" Murray; Uncle Jimmy, as Landon calls him. The two are like two peas in a pod, really. They see each other and they greet each other like old friends instead of family. Jimmy was US intelligence back in 80's, but he retired after a mission went wrong and after he met and fell in love with Joanna. He'd always thought Joanna was a beautiful woman and Jimmy planned on asking her out when she came to him and told him that she was pregnant with another man's child. Jimmy was crushed but, he'll always hold a spot in his heart for her and her son, Landon. Jimmy always seems to be tipsy no matter the time of or the place. In fact, Landon can't remember a time when his uncle wasn't drunk.
Country of Origin:
Landon grew up in Ireland, just a few miles outside of Dublin.
Pets:
None.
Talents/Powers:
Footballer (Disclaimer: This is not a power. It's just a talent.) - Landon's excellent a playing football. Well, not American football. He's not good at that. He plays European football, otherwise known as soccer.
Charm - This is slightly different than Charms-Speak that a few Aphrodite children, possess. This "Charm" is his natural ability to be charming. It's more like persuasion. There's nothing magical about it, it's just uncanny charm.
Weapon:
Like his father, Landon uses a bow and arrows and he's very good at archery, often being able to hit the same mark each time. For his birthday, his uncle bought him a very expensive bow off of the demigod side of Amazon. The bow contracts into a small beaded bracelet that he wears around with him almost everywhere. When it's in full form, it's a beautiful white oak bow with a light feel to it. It almost looks girly with a few rubies inlayed on the ends of it, though.
Fatal Flaws:
Landon's fatal flaw is Hubris or his pride. Another one of his fatal flaws is his impulsiveness.
Life Before CHB:
Landon was born in the United States but he was sent to live with his mother's best friend, Jimmy, in Ireland. You see, because of his mother's involvement with the CIA and other countries it was in her best interests to keep her son safe so she sent him off to live with his 'uncle'. Jimmy wasn't his actual uncle, but Landon thought of him as that. Landon knew his mother was an important women in the USA but never knew her. Joanna knew him, though. She watched over him carefully and Jimmy was always sending her pictures of her son.
Landon was only four months old when his mother sent him to live with Uncle Jimmy. His mother got maternity leave for a few months and then she had to go back to work. So she called Jimmy and then arranged for her son to be in his care for as long as needed. Jimmy practically raised Landon. That's all of a family that Landon knows, is his uncle. Landon doesn't even remember anything about her. He wishes he did, but instead he got his uncle.
You see, because Uncle Jimmy retired from the CIA and then went back home to where he grew up as a child, his family's fortune was waiting for him in the form of a mansion. Jimmy had descended from a long line of nobles in France but after the French Revolution, they headed over to Ireland, but still maintained their family's money with a wine business. Through the years, Jimmy had learned to make the wine and sell it, too, but he wasn't as interested in that as he was with partying. So Landon grew up as a rich kid and still is.
Uncle Jimmy is a loud, rambunctious, party-man. He was always throwing loud parties at his house, especially on St. Patrick's Day. Landon always loved these parties since he got to invite his friends over and they'd all drink beer together. Yes, they were only only fourteen or fifteen at the time, but Landon didn't care. From all he knew, he was Irish and it was his heritage to drink. Landon's got a lot of drunk stories from what used to happen at his uncle's parties. One time he ended up on the roof of his uncle's house naked with several...erm, diagrams drawn on his body in marker.
When Landon turned sixteen, his uncle figured that it was time to tell him about his actual heritage. So he sat his favorite "nephew" down and handed him a beer and told him the truth. Landon didn't take it lightly. He didn't care for being lied to about his entire life. He didn't like the fact that his father was the god of war and not the god of say... fun and parties. Though, he did enjoy the fact that his mother is a spy. Of course, he wasn't allowed to tell anyone about his mother, but he didn't mind. He just liked knowing that she actually was a spy.
So within a matter of days, Landon packed his things and the both of them caught a flight to New York. Of course, the flight was first-class and Landon nor Jimmy was allowed to drink. Landon because he was underage and Jimmy because he needed to be sober when he dropped Jimmy off, and because he was afraid of getting pulled over in the US.
All was pretty much good as Jimmy dropped off his "nephew" at camp. There weren't any technical difficulties getting him there at all.
RP Example:
Landon grinned as he brought the top of his foot to the side of the ball. He felt his foot connect with the side of the ball and heard the soft 'popping' noise it made as the ball flew into the air. Hopefully, it hadn't popped. Landon's breaths came in short little puffs as he'd been running aroud all afternooon, playing this game. His eyes followed the ball as it soared upwards and then gradually lost height before coming to a bouncy stop in the middle of the field. The middle. 'Ugh,' he thought to himself as he began to jog down the side of field, ready to have the ball passed to him.
"GO LANDON!" He heard several high-pitched voices scream. Landon shot a glance over his shoulder and flashed a brilliant smile before whipping his gaze back to the ball, which was sent back over to him. Expertly, he trapped the ball and then kicked it forward to a Wing, pausing to glance back at the girls. But, they were gone. Landon's eyebrows furrowed in a frown. "LAN, PAY ATTENTION!" He heard his coach scream from the sidelines. Landon began to focus in on the ball, as he neared the defender's box. But, a wing scored instead of him. Well, that was just fine. Less work for him.
Any notes about your characters:
Um, none except that he's got an Irish accent. Oh, and my roleplay example sucked. Sorry. D:
