Second task. Lars was born on 18th of January, he’s 178cm tall. When he was 8 his mother died. Till 24 years he was living with his father in a small town in Sweden, finished university, getting a degree in history and culture. Then he dropped everything and moved to England, to a seaport town called Knotsmouth. There he opened a little flower shop, rented a flat near the port in outskirts of town and stayed to live. When he was a kid (and into his teen years), his family went hiking a lot, so he knows a lot about survival in nature, he can defend himself and knows how to fight. He’s an inborn empath and ever since he was a kid, he always knew how and what his parents and people around him feel, with age his powers only grew exponentially, making his life difficult. Eventually he moved to try to stay away from many people he knew, and tried to live in less populated places, to lift the weight of everyone’s emotions.
There’s a challenge about improving your character, so I decided to participate in it and I picked Lars for it. He’s an interesting guy, with a complex character. He may look like a delicate flower, but actually he’s a tough dude, with his own inner demons and pretty op abilities. Lars Bäckström is 26 years old swede, his date of birth is 18 of January, he works as a florist in his own little flower shop, he’s an empath and is haunted by a ghost of a lady... Support me on KoFi - ko-fi.com/maddcactus I’m posting stuff there earlier than here.
Lars. His aura is very weird\special, if you look at it through the Seeker (an artefact, that helps to see and find supernatural traces, aura, haunted or cursed objects, etc. The clairvoyant artefact that helps a psychic to direct his abilities.), you’ll see a strong nacreous glow, around his body. It’s bright and iridescent. Mesmerising and beautiful. I was using cool star-shaped glitter and irl it looks really good, but my scanner ate all the shiny colours of these stars. I may upload a video of this picture later, to show how it all looks.
I wanted a break from everything. So - here’s my break. A couple of dorks, hugging and being adorkable. As my friend says - Lars is like a fairy princess. But don’t let his fragile faery looks deceive you - this one can kick some ass and lift weights, and swear like a sailor in swedish. Marcus on the other hand - is a bookworm. He usually doesn’t fight and physically is barely trained, he also gets sick easily. So, the real princess here - is him.
Lars, with an aloe plant, taking it back to his place temporarily. This aloe will end up on a windowsill of the Agency, where it’ll stay till the end of days. Not its days, but literally... Most of Lars’s plants are like eternal. He has a green thumb. And all of the plants at his flat and in the shop - are exposed to his powers, so they are healthy, almost never get sick, and the cut flowers stay fresh for a really long time before they wither. Some of them even sprout roots... It takes like an insane negligence to kill his plants.
Some old pictures of Lars and Marcus. Lars is a chaotic power of nature, emotions and life. (he can easily grow plants, feel other’s emotions and draw someone’s sickness away, if it’s not lethal. He could probably learn how to hurt people with his powers too, but he’s not that kind of guy). Marcus is a powerfull magnet to paranormality, a gatekeeper to the Other World and curious edge-walker. (he sees ghosts and has large insight, he knows a lot of things normal people don’t even notice, he was behind the Wall. He was supposed to die young, but he didn’t, since then he stays inbetween the worlds).
Marcus is a psychic, paranormal investigator, exorcist and an expert in communication with spirits. He's a big dork, bisexual. Thinks that he's irresistible man, but in reality he's just an awkward penguin, awkward and clumsy. When he nervous or in a middle of a brainstorm - he eats nuts. What's it with him and nits - no on knows. He's passionate, kind-hearted, stubborn. He doesn't likes low temperature, and get's chills even when it's +25 C', because he's too close to the World of the Dead. Because of that, he wears a lot layers of clothes, and gets cold very often. He likes to get warm, everytime he can - hot water in a tub, warm cups, heaters, puffy blankets, Lars... He has a panic fear of hights, and because of that he trie to escape need to fly - because planes it's a flying coffin. (In a future he got rid of this fear (at least for some time) only because some brave man hold hi nand through the all flight. When he was 5-6 years old, his parents (his dad was an alcoholic) sent him to orphanage. Because he was too weird and problematic child. And because of that, every time when he was adopted - later was sent back, again and again. So he were in an orphanage till he became a young adult. He worked here and there, till something not brought him to Sarah. (His boss). He was traumatised, because of multiple betrayal of his parents, he hides it and painfull attitude to the families. Sometimes he feels emptyness and deep grief, but doesn't shows it. Lars is an empath. He gets possessed very easily, he has no tolerance to possessions whatsoever. He's a florist. Every morning he takes flowers which are left after cutting bouquets, and walks around giving them away for free, or leaves them in post boxes. He's weird. His flat is like a garden or a herbarium - there's plants everywhere, alive and dry. Everything in his flat has some old, unusual energy. He grew up with his dad. His mom died when Lars was 2 years old. He was a boy scout, and with his dad they went in a long hikes. He knows how to make a fire with one match, or even without it. He knows how to stand up for himself, though he prefers not to do any harm, and to solve problems peacefully. He never wanted to work with Sarah and Marcus in a first place, but agreed, though he doesn't works officially.
