craving a sort of slow burn thing. i am lonely, yes. i want a S.O., yes.
anyway, here's the gist
It's difficult to be a teenager. It's even more difficult to be a special teenager. A kid with power. Maybe nothing cool, like shapeshifting or mind-control. But. You get lonely. Obviously, it's hard to let people in, but you find someone. Someone like you.

@cryptic-glitch

just an fyi this could have some triggers like blood, rape, etc. my character is a very emotionally twisted person, so if that changes your mind, that's cool

@Fraust

Yeah, that's all fine with me! I just can't rp smut but other than that I'm good to go 👌
I also don't really like stuff to do with nail trauma, but that's not that likely to come up anyway lol

@Fraust

Name: Lin Reinard
Age: 18
Gender/Pronouns: Male, he/him
Appearance: (imagine him a little older though lol) (art by me)

Sexuality: Asexual, Panromantic
Race: Caucasian. Ethnicity: British
Eyes: Dark brown, lighter ring encircling his pupil
Hair: Black. The left half of his face is slightly obscured by messy bangs. His hair is very soft and shiny
Face: Heart shaped with slim features. His eyes are rounded and seem slightly large for his face. He has clear skin with no freckles.
Body: Slim and lanky, he looks a little taller than he is because of how long his legs are. He's underweight, but proportionate, and he's stronger than he appears. He has countless scars from many different sources littering his entire body.
Height: 5'7
General weight: ~120 pounds
Typical Clothes: Lin favors simple, practical clothing without bright colors or patterns. He shows very little skin in order to obscure scarring.
Distinguishing Marks: Other than the sheer number of scars on his body, he doesn't have many.
Personality: Lin is a bit scatterbrained sometimes due to his ADD, and has trouble focusing on more than one thing at a time. He is fiercely loyal to those he trusts to the point of neglecting his own wellbeing in favor of protecting the other person. He's normally a bit naive from his 'sheltered' upbringing, but if he or anyone he cares about is threatened, he can become incredibly aggressive and threatening.
Background: Lin is the fourth of seven siblings. His parents wanted to raise their children to be soldiers or warriors of sorts, and forced them through intensive physical training to make them stronger. Although Lin has powers, and rather strong ones at that, he went through his childhood pretending that he didn't in order to avoid training. However, he was forced through it anyway, and had to do it without the assistance of powers. Eventually, when he was thirteen years old he ran away, stealing enough money from his parents to be able to purchase a plane ticket to America. He has been homeless since then, but built himself a comfortable enough tree fort in the forest to be able to get by. He has improved this shelter over the years to make it safer, sturdier, and more comfortable for himself. He has attended public high school for every year he has been able.
Likes: Freedom, being in control, Flowers
Dislikes: Feeling trapped, Sleeping, Cold weather
Strengths: Physical strength, resilient
Weaknesses: Naive/clueless, ADD, Self Negligent
Fears: Weakness, Claustrophobia
Powers?: Fire and Lightning/Electricity (his family members all specialize in one or the other, but he specializes in both)

(he so cute!!! also i love ur art !! here's the starter)
Orion leaned against the school's brick wall, holding a lighter under her palm, vaguely annoyed. She looked up at the sky and squinted at the sun. This was a drag. "I can't believe this is the last day of school. Finally."

@Fraust

(Ty! <3)
"Yeah! What do you plan on doing during the summer break?" Lin asked, leaning up against the wall beside his friend. He hummed softly to himself, staring up at the sky as well. "I don't really have much to do, honestly… not many friends other than you, no money to do activities… I probably won't do much."

@cryptic-glitch

"I'm leaving. Homophobic parents. Dumb school. I'm getting out of here." She put her lighter back in her pocket. "Might commit low-level arson."

@Fraust

"Mm. I would help you, but I also don't want to get arrested, so…" Lin shrugged a bit. "Where do you plan on going, though?" He asked. "Do you have a plan? Or are you just going to kinda… leave?"

@Fraust

"Um… not really, but if you do, I can as well." Lin shrugged again and yawned. "It's the last day anyway, so I doubt we'll miss much."

@Fraust

"Well, maybe… I-I dunno…" Lin sighed softly, closing his eyes. "I suppose it depends on your plan. I wouldn't want to be cumbersome."

@Fraust

"Yeah, I suppose so. But still. I'm not always easy to live with." He glanced over to Orion again. "I often neglect to take care of myself. You'd need to remind me."

@cryptic-glitch

"No plan. Cross country driving until I find a good job. Sleeping in the car." Orion gave him a sideways smirk. "So what do you say? Up for it?"
