Lysander Crawford -Complete-

Name: Lysander Crawford
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Birthday: 17th May
Sexuality: Unknown as this would imply he was close enough to anyone to generate any kind of emotional connection.
Special Characteristics: Lysander has numerous piercings on both of his ears with many of them being hoops that run halfway up his cartilage. Upon the lobes are two thick earcuffs and, beside the cuff on the left ear, a single earring of an odd black hue that is shaped as a fang of some sort.

Personality: Lysander is a family-orientated man; that is, everyone is inferior except for his family (and certain individuals, as will be mentioned further on). Having been born into the Crawford's, Lysander has developed a huge superiority complex where his family stand upon the shoulders of everyone else and that those below should be thankful to be anywhere within the vicinity of such a powerful and influential family. Saying that, he will completely disregard those 'below' him unless he has use for them, in which case he'll be abrupt and as clear and precise about what he wants so as to ensure he doesn't have to keep up the false interest in that person for too long.

The exception to this is when he's in battle; this could be either when in combat or in debates regarding the direction of the family's attentions or even business deals. He will initially attempt to squash anyone who stands before him with his sheer menacing features and basic offence alone, wishing to simply remove them from his sights so that he can focus on more important matters. However, should someone prove to be a worthy adversary to Lysander's oppressive front then his true side begins to show and he will reveal a hint of respect which grows with each obstacle his 'opponent' overcomes. Once he views someone as an equal he will speak to them as such, even referring to them as 'my friend' regardless of how much they may hate one another. But such pleasantries will only last so long once the trigger is pulled and Lysander's 'other' comes into play; Jason, Lysander's only true 'friend' courtesy of his schizophrenia. If Jason says that someone is aiming to kill Lysander then Lysander will kill them first. This darker side of the young Crawford man is considerably more vicious and destructive, and is one best held back if one values their lives.

Even when away from the busy sides of life, Lysander shows himself to be rather a diligent young man. He will spend hours reading up on new things to expand his knowledge on whatever subject it is that he feels he is lacking in at that moment in time, or simply to continue to build upon his strengths. His ultimate goal is to surpass all expectations placed upon him and become the head of the family.

As expected, particularly from a male member of the Crawford family, Lysander likes to be in charge. He likes to know everything that's happening and plan everything out to fit with his vision. As such he makes a great leader in combat in that respect as he can position himself and his subordinates with relative ease. However, should Jason come into play then Lysander's visions will become blurred by bloodlust. As such, sending Lysander into combat is a double-edged sword and so it is advised that another significant member of his group that he respects should be on standby and ready to take over if ever that switch flips. It should be noted however that trying to take leadership from Lysander in his natural state is likely to get your head torn off, both figuratively and literally. He hates working under another and will only do so if his respect for that person far outweighs his own pride; for example, his Uncle Harrigan whom he idolises.


Likes:
Superiority; Lysander enjoys being at the top of the food-chain and will remind others below him that, without him and the Crawford's, they'd be nothing.

Darkness; Lysander thrives in a dark environment and it would not be surprising to see him in a dark room, reading by candlelight when it is the middle of the day.

Music; particularly 80's-90's metal and rock'n'roll, possibly the reason for all the piercings and the streaked hair.

Spicy Foods; Lysander loves spicy food and seems to be completely unfazed by the spices regardless of how hot it may be.

Dislikes:
Superiors; As stated before, Lysander HATES being below someone else in the hierarchy. He will occasionally tolerate it with certain individuals but even they might end up in his way eventually.

Inferiors; Why should Lysander waste time on those below him when he can be focusing on going further above them?

Sweet foods; Cakes, cookies, chocolate…anything sweet is a no-no.

Motivations:
To be at the very top; While he is top of the food-chain, there are others who stand as equal to him in the chain. He wishes to be above them as well.

To uphold the Crawford family name; In Lysander's world family comes first and foremost in every possible sense.

To become the strongest member of the Crawford family; Lysander wishes to be a figure of physical and magical mastery as much as he wishes to be the head of the family. A good leader is one that cannot be beaten at anything.

Fears:
Harrigan Crawford; He's seen the man when he's pissed off. It's not a pretty sight.

Wool; has an irrational fear of wool. Where it stems from is completely unknown. All he does know is that it feels awful and soft. The sound of it when it's squeezed is equally terrifying.

Dropping down the hierarchy; To be considered a 'common mage' is simply a no-no for Lysander. He will be at the top no matter what the price.
