Lawrence Oleander - Boyfriend to Death

Age: 26 Height: 5'11

Lawrence's non-violent hobbies include reading, gardening, collecting bones, and occasionally browsing obscure online forums. He likes to walk through the old parts of town at night under street lamps, and sometimes he collects things he finds, like string or interesting rocks. He drives to spend the day out in the woods on days off, finding it relaxing. He often uses drugs recreationally, even growing some himself, such as papaver somniferum.

Lawrence is generally withdrawn. He's shown to be flustered and uncomfortable when the player character approaches him at.

He's quick to anger, especially if he thinks the player character seeks to abandon him.

He's aware that his sadistic actions would be deemed wrong and immoral, and seems to experience bouts of guilt and self-hatred over them.

Lawrence would have a low voice, usually soft-spoken. His voice naturally carries further than others (due to the pitch) so he compensates by speaking as quietly as he can, but he is really something to behold when he's shouting. His laugh is awkward and stifled, and he'll automatically would try to cover his mouth when he does. If someone could make him truly unabashedly laugh, it would be booming, though something like that is very rare and unlikely.

Lawrence feels like an outsider to the human race and finds other people to generally be dangerous and untrustworthy. He assumes everyone to be a nuisance, dangerous, or lying. At his best, he's a loner who wants to be away from society whenever he can, but he's also quick to lash out at any person who interacts with him. He relates people to pretty flowers who lie to get what they want.

From an early age, Lawrence didn't fit in with his peers - the fact that he drowned in a small lake and miraculously survived didn't help his case. He was unpopular and, unsurprisingly, the subject of many rumors. Lawrence's parents - who were obsessively invested with appearances - treated him more like a dirty secret than their own child. They eventually pulled him from the educational system and homeschooled him for a year (Grades 4-5). It's unclear whether he reinstated afterwards or otherwise. As he matured his behavior worsened. He never felt welcomed or wanted by his parents; he left as soon as he could, never looking back. Despite his family's neglect, Lawrence craves isolation; he will do anything to get it (sometimes resorting to violence).

This desire for isolation is a primary reason why he is nocturnal.

Lawrence works a labor job at a warehouse covering the night shift from 11PM-7AM. He lives in a small studio apartment that he's decorated with minimal furniture and plants of all manner.

Apperance: Lawrence is a tall, lean, fair-skinned man with blonde hair tied into a loose ponytail and cool blue eyes. He wears an open gray jacket over a plain white T-shirt, and a pair of grey sweatpants. A thick black ring is tattooed around each of his biceps.
