He prefers to think of it as acknowledging his superiority. As such, you might assume that people wouldn't like him, but that isn't quite the case. He has his fair share of charisma, and is good enough at making an impression to make up for his rather shallow thoughts. However, this is simply a facade, a mask to hide behind. In reality, he is rather detached. His arrogant mask serves it's purpose, gaining respect for him, as well as disguising his rather... Different view of life. He is consistently unpredictable, his mind never set on one thought or action. This behavior, paired with a propensity for violence, and a disregard for consequences, makes him a rather unique individual. Though he often acts quickly and impulsively when around others, he is very calculated when in his own mind, and has a habit of analyzing everything to the smallest detail. [b]-HISTORY[/b] The life of Lawrence Nesbitt had been, up to this point, uninteresting. That is, not taking into account the first seven years of his life. It was at this age that his life was defined. One ordinary day, Lawrence was dealt a losing hand, and was walking with his father by the wrong alleyway at the wrong time. Whether knowingly or subconsciously, Lawrence blocked this morose experience out of his mind. The most he can willingly recall is running out from the darkness into the arms of a police officer, and a newspaper headline reading: "Police Save Child From Serial Killer: The California Cannibal Still at Large." With a mother who had died shortly after his birth, Lawrence was left alone, so sent to an orphanage. This miracle child was adopted rather quickly, into a home of pity and compensation. But Lawrence's experience had hardened him, even as a child, and pity was hardly what he needed. Not knowing how to handle a child in such a situation, his parents tried to ignore his experience, and make him forget. Rather than receiving some sort of closure, the child was made to throw his trauma in the closet, and hope the skeleton never showed itself. It seemed to work, at least to the parents. Lawrence becoming so arrogant had to be a good sign, that he was coming to terms with his experience, right? It was this Laissez-Faire parenting approach that led to Lawrence building himself such a facade. But his family was not something to gripe about, other than the previous points. They gave him the tools to succeed in life, and pushed him to his limits. It was through this that he realized that the narcissism wasn't entirely fake, nor was it undeserved. Throughout his life he had been attracted to the careers of Law. [b]-WHY AM I HERE?-[/b] Lawrence had, for most of his life, stayed in contact with the police officer who he had been met with upon being rescued. It was this officer, who told him of the Academy, after hearing about it from a fellow police officer. He submitted an application in the form of a portfolio of his works- Having spent years in an internship with a respectable law firm, he built up a quite nice repertoire, becoming a key part in the arrests of many dangerous men. Certainly Lawrence would've preferred something more prestigious, like Harvard, but something drew him to Catalina. Perhaps the disappearances, appealing to his childhood. [b]-FAITH-[/b] Ever since he was seven, he disregarded any faith in a god. He believed himself to have been forsaken by the world, and had no reason to think there could be a 'benevolent god'. Going through life, he realized that he was the only constant in his life that he could truly believe in. [b]-FEARS-[/b] Lawrence doesn't exactly spook easily. This being said, his one true fear is failure, that he will disillusion his rather perfect self image. [b]-ASTRONOMICAL SIGN-[/b] [s]TerminallyCapricious[/s] Capricorn [/center] [/hider] [hider=Prologue] WIP. Gotcha [/hider] Sorry for taking so long, I've had a dreadfully sparse amount of spare time today. I'll come back and finish the Prologue tomorrow, as well as make some changes to the actual CS, I just thought I'd post my current progress so you all know that I'm still here.
