 lelan reed tell me reality is better than a dream. general info
appearance As an avid exerciser and enjoyer of sports in general, Lelan Reed keeps a well-toned body. With a pleasant height of about 6’ and a body covered in lean muscle, it is easily stated that Lee was gifted with an attractive form. From regular exercise, Lelan has a torso carved from lean muscle, making him an impressive specimen. A fair complexion covers his body, the young man even having a soft outline of abs, but nothing perfectly chiselled in. Sections of his body hold pale marks from a childhood growing up around domestic abuse. On his right shoulder are a duo of pale scratches, meanwhile, his back holds a few less noticeable ones unless closely examined. One stretched horizontal across the base of his back and is the most difficult to notice. Another is a diagonal gash located just below Lelan’s shoulder and is similarly hard to notice. Years of work has left Lelan’s hands well calloused because of the nature of his job. A well-defined face is perched atop Lelan’s head, granting him a handsome nature. There are high-standing cheekbones leading down to pleasantly filled cheeks. His jawline is strong and defining, heading down to a softly pointed chin. A nose with a rounded tip and upturn sprouts from his face. Short, brown hair covers the young man’s head, frequently messy in styling. The back of his hair reaches the nape of his neck. The bangs of his hair are just long enough to drift into his eyesight, however, the shortness allows him to easily brush them away. From his hair sprouts sideburns that end above the lobes of his ears. Placed atop the bridge of Lelan’s nose are a pair of black, thick-rimmed glasses. The lenses have a rectangular shape. Behind those glasses are a pair of magnificent amber eyes, shining like flickering ambers. Casual clothing is the preference for Lee because of the comforts provided from the looser-fitting pieces. Prominently, Lee will wear tank tops and t-shirts, occasionally tugging on a sweater. For pants, a plain pair of jeans and sweats tend to leave Lelan satisfied. Shoes possess little note, Lee wearing whatever he finds simple and well-priced. At times, Lelan will wear a hat over his hair, however, will always wear one during baseball. When playing his favoured sports, he is quick to dawn his uniform and the needed padding to fulfill his role as a back catcher. personality
abilities Fire Manipulation -- Beginner The ability to manipulate fire, allowing the user to move or strengthen flames. The twisted nature of his father keeps Lelan from using the ability. Endless worries about accidentally hurting others enters his head, thus, he refuses to use the ability. He is untrained, making Lelan completely incapable of manipulating fire. If he tried, he would be bound to tire quickly. Hexes -- Intermediate The ability to use circles made from chalk or blood to accomplish a variety of magic. For the most part, Lelan is mediocre with hexes with only one truly shining. He is incapable with summoning, sight and disguise hexes, being unable to effectively use them. If used, he can only accomplish very mild effects and nothing impressive. The hexes he is most capable of consist of healing and teleportation hexes. Teleportation he learned for the purpose of skidding by on days where he wants to sleep in. He can teleport in an approximately 10 mile radius. When alone, this takes less energy, however, the more passengers, the more energy it will drain from Lee. As for healing, the ability is a knack Lelan learned after he entered adolescents and his brother was born. With an ever-growing desire to protect his brother and mother from his malicious father, he considered it necessary. Lelan can heal minor to severe wounds, with severe taking a larger amount of his energy. He is most capable of healing two people and only suffering minor effects of fatigue for the most part. However, he is most capable when healing up to 4. Anything more, and the effects of his healing hex diminish or he risks falling unconscious. Siren Song -- Mastered The ability to lure others towards the user via singing. As a teenager, Lee occasionally used this ability to lure people towards him. However, since then he practiced it for the opposite intentions. He taught himself his siren song in order to activate and deactivate it to avoid entrancing people. This being said, Lee’s siren song remains frightfully effective, the more strong-willed falling less susceptible to the sounds of his voice. It is rare for an off chord or a missed note to result in people breaking from his siren song because of the mesmerizing nature and the power of Lee’s magic in this field. Activating his siren song begins to eat away at Lee’s energy. Those who are more strong-willed consume more energy than those who are not. The song can only attract those who hear it, good or bad, seeing as Lee can not control that option. Naturals: Enhanced Beauty, Fire Immunity backstory Trigger Warnings: Alcoholism, domestic abuse, physical/mental/emotional abuse He was never a good man, who would think otherwise? From the beginning, Lelan Reed was born into a toxic household. His mother, Ellen Reed, having been raised in an unloving environment hastily fell into the lap of Terrance Holfer, his father. The sounds of his sweet words and nature of his loving disguise made her doomed to fall into the deplorable conditions Terrance would submit her to. The man was an alcoholic, guzzling away countless poisonous drinks without a second thought. He was violent and abusive to his mother, going lengths to push her once when she was pregnant with his child. In his eyes, Ellen was merely a servant meant to serve his every whim rather than a loving girlfriend he would eventually marry. Meanwhile, Ellen Reed always told herself things would get better and she would marry the man she foolishly loved. At the end of the day, he gave her more attention and love than she believed she received at home... at the end of the day she was wrong every time. Since his birth, his mother had attempted to protect him from his father. Alas, her refusals to leave her abusive husband constantly left Lelan in the ever-brewing toxins. His infancy was greeted with an overprotective mother sparing her baby from the malice which lurked in his father. Yet, several instances where Lelan was left crying in his crib from his mother’s screams long existed. While he would be unable to recall nowadays, there were moments where his mother arrived to tend to him with a black eye or thick, ugly bruises across her body. In the background his father would be slurring out insults at the woman he supposedly loved. He labelled her an ugly whore, a meaningless bag of bones and a dumb bitch. Never did Terrance have anything positive to say about Ellen. Rather, he preyed upon her easily discouraged nature and effectively devoured her whole. The days of his childhood were vivid memories for Lelan as he hastily learned the wrath of his father. Fueled by alcohol, the man was nothing considered good, becoming the thing Lelan feared most. As a restless child, the young man was renowned for playing his games or fidgeting. Whenever his voice went even slightly above his father’s liking, he would hear the inevitable “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” Through his youth, Lee was terrified of his father. The monster of a man being renowned for roughly dragging him by the arm to his room. Other instances the man broke whatever he discovered interesting, leaving the young child tearing up and running to his mother. However, Lelan would inevitably learn how pointless it would be. Running to his mother earned no chastising of his father, rather she smiled and soothed… nothing more. The young boy’s childhood was met with a skittish child who struggles to create those connections. In the beginning, he was an anxious kid uncertain about the world around. However, through the social climate of school Lelan gradually learned the wonders of a true childhood. He began slowly playing with the other kids, being taught to form those ever crucial friendships. It became a contrast, a mask in the making for the purpose of acceptance and love among his peers. At school, he played games and socialized meanwhile at home he proved meek, quiet and distant. He struggled to connect with his father, frequently hiding in his room and attempting to avoid causing him trouble. Alas, his father would get angry over the smallest of things. Nothing appeared to matter to him other than the bottle of booze being guzzled down his gullet and Lelan learned hastily. Around the age of 9, Lelan was informed of his mother becoming pregnant again. Upon being informed, the young child felt flabbergasted, but masked it with a fake smile and soft nod. Alas, through it all, Lee discovered himself worried sick about the unfolding future imagined inside his head. A nightmare in the making for the young boy attempting to stay quiet and watch the unravelling. At school, he wore a mask, and at home the boy became silently fearful of his future sibling’s health. Through the pregnancy, Lee observed his father treat his mother horrible. The young child finally speaking up in quieter tones. He would tug his father’s shirt and softly say “Dad, stop, what about my sibling?!” Alas, it merely redirected the attention with Terrance abruptly shoving him aside roughly. While it ended things sooner than average, for Lelan it served as a reminder of why he could never trust his father. By the age of 10, Lelan’s younger brother, Alexander Reed, was born. Hastily, Lee’s concerns increased upon observing the bundle of joy get walked through the door. A child filled with light who deserved a life of happiness. He remembered the smile on his mother’s face whenever she tended to his little brother. The young woman quietly called her son to come see his baby brother. Things lightened up, albeit, briefly. Eventually, his father complained and would lash out at his mother all while intoxicated by the poisonous drink. Lelan was hasty to learn to protect his brother rather than his mother. He was unable to help her... rather... he was forced to close and lock the door until the beatings stopped for the time being... He needed to protect Alexander and that became his goal. He wanted to maintain Alex’s happiness rather than exposing him to the toxic nature of the household. As Lelan entered his teens, the adolescent began showing the marks of his protectiveness. He would show up at school more bruises than usual and at times clingy because of the little attention he received at home. However, Lelan considered it worth the time to make his precious little brother happy. While he invested himself in a few sports and activities, Lelan always attempted to keep his brother safe. He provided suggestions and ways for Alexander to remain safeguarded when he could not be home. What mattered to the adolescent was protecting his little brother rather than facing the repercussions of his actions. Alas, the years of Lelan’s teens meant things were reaching a boiling point. Over the years, Terrance only turned more volatile and violent in the household. He remembered that summer afternoon when he was 17 where Ellen was cooking lunch and he sat at the table, quiet as a mouse. His father stumbled into the kitchen and the pair began arguing as Lelan sat in silence, waiting for things to run their course. However, out of nowhere his father reached for his mother, fire burning in his palm. She screamed and in an instant, a realization dawned on Lelan. He was going to kill her. Acting on instinct he had moved, chair slamming into the ground as he attempted to pull his father from his mother. Rather than the former times, Lelan placed some force into. His body tougher from exercise, he managed, however, in part as his father locked onto a new target... him. Abruptly, his father’s face rocketed towards him, a gut-wrenching crunch echoing in the kitchen. He remembered uttering a loud swear as he stumbled back, warm, red liquid gushing from his nose. His father lunged at him and eventually they ended up on the floor. Through the muddled sounds he heard his father’s yelling and his mother screaming as she grabbed the phone to call 911. A few more punches were swung before his father was thrown off him. By who, Lelan could not be certain. In his swimming consciousness he was transported to hospital, having suffered a broken nose and bruising. He was pulled by sports while the court proceedings went through, his mother promising both her sons they would no longer be seeing their father. The sentencing was done with haste and Terrance Holfer was sentenced to prison for domestic abuse charges among other crimes. It was believed peace would finally reign with the promises, his mother seemingly doing better... however it was only 5 months later until she began speaking with her abuser again... 2 more until she told them they would be visiting their father in jail... It stunned Lelan, yet, he wore a plastic smile and went along with it... but he was scared, terrified of the man who sent him to hospital and burned his mother. By age 20, Lelan moved out of the house having graduated high school and started a career capable of allowing him to purchase a well-sized apartment. To his mother’s assistance, he kept attending those awkward talks to his prison-bound father. Despite the man saying he would reform and telling his mother sweet nothings, Lelan could never believe his father would change. Thus, silent in the background he would push towards these words not vindicating his father’s actions remotely. Through the years, the young man began working in the ranks of the local baseball club, becoming a back catcher and strong hitter. He primarily works as a tree surgeon while doing freelancing jobs on the side and visiting his brother whenever possible. misc - Likes: Baseball, summer, exercise, sports, spicy foods, partying, ice cream, mints, healthy foods, making things, cooking, action movies, coffee, hunting, singing - Dislikes: Overly sweet foods, alcoholism, campfires, chocolate, winter, boredom, reading, soap operas, tea, sitting still, screaming, arguing - Fears: His father, addiction, fire - Regularly, Lelan goes by the nickname Lee.
