Quote: "I only need one eye to see that you're a twat".
Current life description: Lau currently spends most of his time searching for new recruits to the Mirabellian bloodline and possible allies, as well as gathering information on their rival family, Leverenz. When at home he is coordinating the Shadows and administering their missions, he records the kills in their hallowed Book of Shadows while also overseeing the training and initiations of all recruits. During his spare time he is usually found conversing with the Inner Circle of the Mirabelles.
Allegiance: Lau's loyalty is eternally bound to that of the Mirabelle family and his sister Donatelli. He will play people to his advantage and manipulate others without telling them anything, as everything he does is for the good of the Mirabellian bloodline and his sister. However, he would never put any family member in danger in order to accomplish his own goals. Personality: Lau is typically a rather closed off and stoic person, frequently remaining quiet and calm when he is around members of his family even Donatelli and Amaya yet he is perhaps a bit more open with them than he is with others, he is friendly to many in the family but takes a rather strange and doting affection towards his sister and his fellow Shadows. While others of his family may exhibit an impatience to get things done or pick the quickest and easiest routes Lau prefers to take his time and slowly accomplish things knowing that good things come to this who wait, he exhibits an extraordinary patience.
Lau is known for his rather dry sense of humour and fondess for gallows humour, he will frequently make rather morbid jokes about situations even if he is on the verge of death which can sometimes come across as a lack of being able to take things seriously yet this is never the case, Lau deals with so much death and killings that even he formed his own coping mechanisms for such ordeals.
Another noticeable trait of Lau's is his absolute refusal to endanger the lives of his assassins on a whim or hunch that it could lead to something better, he has outright refused to send his assassins anywhere if someone has a leak of intelligence that may help them instead telling them to get the full story then come back to him, this stubborn protectiveness has put him at odds with other members, particularly his mother and sister should his opinion clash with theirs, he will openly correct them or object to plans if he feels there is a better way. Likes: Lau has a fondness for fried food specifically fish as he can frequently be seen dining upon it when he is alone or with his sister Donatelli or his brother Gero, he is also quite fond of listening to classical opera music typically playing it in the cathedral when he has free time. While he tries to maintain an air of professionalism around others when the time calls for it he is utterly powerless in front of small animals as a puppy was known to completely derail a training session because Lau couldn't resist playing with it. Dislikes: Lau has very few things that he does not like but the few things that he does dislike are having to listen to the long-winded scientific explanations of things that come from the Mirabelle's chief researcher Richtofen and this is usually after Lau has had to help clean up an experiment gone wrong, he also expresses an extreme dislike for green peppers and vodka citing their both horrible tasting and shouldn't exist.
Appearance: Lau is a tall man of twenty eight years of age standing at a height of 6'1" while weighing at 167Ibs, he isn't bulky or wide in any sense yet his body is well toned and muscled as a result of rigorous training during his years in the Mirabelle, he has short messy brown hair that is well maintained without any grey hairs or it ever being greasy, his hair was originally blonde but with his brothers Gero and Valeris both having blonde hair and Lau's current body has brown hair so he decided to keep it.
Lau only possesses a single cerulean blue eye as his left eye socket has considerable damage due to his left eye being gouged out on a mission, he refuses to get a glass eye and simply wears a plain black eyepatch to cover it unless in the presence of his sister Donatelli. For clothing he tends to wear a white dress shirt underneath a black waist coast coupled with a red tie along with a pair of form-fitting black dress trousers overall giving him a sophisticated appearance will maintaining the appearance of professionalism. When he is attending meetings of importance with members of the family he dons the official attire of the Mirabelle family is a long black overcoat with silver outlines covering the coat along with a dark blue waistcoat underneath, the Mirabelle symbol adorns the back of the coat for all to see.
Background: For the majority of his childhood Lau was raised in the remote Highland regions of Scotland being groomed to become a professional assassin by his birth father, he excelled at his training and still grew up to be a fully functioning member of society when the situation called for it. However, like many people who follow a bloody and dark path, tragedy befell Lau when his father was murdered and implications pointed to his employer.
Seeking vengeance Lau ultimately killed the man he believed responsible however the man implicated was a scapegoat, and it was discovered that Lau had killed the father of a man he had sworn a blood pact with.
Fleeing retribution and death Lau eventually stumbled upon a small little church in New York where he eventually became its priest, illness plagued his flock and he would pray daily for their survival yet God did not answer....someone else did. This person would later become his sister, his faith and the one who gave him a new purpose, to strike down those that would threaten his new family.
Marital Status:Single. Family: Lau views all Mirabelles as his family yet he has formed deeper blood ties to only a few of them, including Amaya, Donovik, Donatelli, Mia and Gero. Others he views simply as relatives or family by association, however he sees no true blood bond. Relations: Donatelli: Lau's relation with his younger sister Donatelli is one that many would not see regularly, an older brother that cares deeply for his sister's well being and safety. He has been by her side for a long time and knows what to expect from her as he has dealt with many of her incarnations consisting of her childish dangerous personality, her ice cold sister personality and many more, he remains loyal to her despite everything and is the first to defend her should it come to it. Gero: Lau's relationship with Gero Kron is just as strong as Lau's relationship with Dona yet there are large differences between the two as Lau frequently insults Gero and makes fun of him at any chance he gets and he recieves the same treatment in return, the two have a long history together one which is not spoken outside the Inner Circle and even then that is a rare occurence that does not offer much insight to them, the two can be found frequently drinking together or sparring which has lead to many a chaotic rumbles between them. Amaya Neomi: Lau holds deep respect and admiration for Amaya not only as a leader but as a mother, due to not growing up knowing his own biological mother before joining the Mirabelle Lau has found it easy to form a bond with her and see her as his true mother, he values her opinion highly and is pleased to speak with her or even spend time with her. He does however have a few awkward moments with her when he does not show much affection towards her husband Donovik. Donivik: If there is any relation between Donivik and Lau that doesn't extend past blood then it has yet to be seen by anyone as Lau has very conflicted and personal feelings when it comes to the man who is technically his father at this point, he remains polite and friendly towards Donovik but does not show any familial love towards him as he still see's his true biological father as his only father.
Abilities: Enhanced physical attributes: Befitting his role as the leader of the Shadows Lau possesses incredible speed and power honed through centuries of training starting from an incredibly young age even before his time in the Mirabelle, upon joining the family these skills were honed to super human levels allowing Lau to easily decapitate an average human with just his hands yet despite his role an assassin he is by no means frail. Bio-Armour: During Lau's conversion process to join the Mirabelle family an unknown organ belonging to a strange creature was transplanted into his body and it was this organ that granted Lau the ability to coat his body in a black sludge like substance through the pores in his skin, upon being exposed to the air the sludge begins to harden and form an incredibly durable armour.
Through hard practice and commitment to mastering the ability Lau is now able to form extra limbs on his body of shape his current limbs into the forms of weapons depending on his choosing though he will typical refraim from doing so in combat scenarios prefering to use his lochobar axe or simply pummel his foes into submission. Gravity Spheres: Thanks to the same organ that allows Lau to create his bio-armour he is able to create spheres of gravity with gravity to equal that of a star, it is assumed Lau can create as many of these as he wants but the larger the sphere that he creates the more attention he must divert to controlling the sphere to prevent it from collapsing in on itself and forming a black hole. Gravity Spheres can be used to redirect incoming attacks or manipulate the surrounding area to benefit Lau or even to just use the environment to attack his opponent, he has used smaller gravity spheres to surround themselves in rock and other hard materials then use them as hardened projectiles. Crushing Abyss: Only to be used in the most desperate of situations Lau will sometimes stop controlling and maintaining the gravity spheres allowing them to collapse in upon themselves to form black holes devouring everything in the vicinity around the hole, the strong of the vaccum depends on the size of the sphere itself. Due to the volatile and dangerous nature of black holes this ability has been strictly forbidden unless only in the direst of situations where producing a black hole is the only logical and viable solution that can be taken and even then it is not guranteed that it will actually work. Weapons: Lau typically forgoes the use of actual weaponry in favour of close hand to hand combat preferring to end his opponent in one clean blow but that does not mean he is weaponless, during his time in the Mirabelle Lau picked up the art of black smithing and used it to create a personalized weapon for himself that only he would wield. By aquiring a large amount of the mineral obsidian Lau was able to create after much trial and error a Lochabar Axe with the blade of it being made out of pure sharpened obsidian giving it a very durable yet sharp edge yet this weapon is more ceremonial than practical leaving Lau to only use it on the most worthy of opponents. Strengths and Weaknesses: As far as weaknesses go Lau has far and few between as he tried rigourlously to eliminate as many of them as he could in order to become a more efficient and deadly assassin yet the weaknesses that remain are the most glaring. First and foremost Lau has terrible depth perception due to having only a single eye, he is unable to accurately tell how far an object is from him in a short time requiring a lot of focus to get the distance correct.
Even before Lau had joined the hallowed ranks of the Mirabelle he had been plagued with something that functioned as both a gift and a curse at the same time, when he was a child it was discovered that Lau was unable to accurately tell when he was feeling unwell due to illnesses and he did not react to pain at all, his original father took him to a doctor where it was revealed that Lau was born with Congenital Analgesia thus rendering him unable to feel the sensation of pain. Being unable to feel pain granted a massive boon to Lau as he realized he didn't have to worry about getting hurt as much but this is a double edged sword as he was unable to tell when he was ill and could not accurately tell if he had any internal injuries thus requiring him to frequently consult doctors and medical staff.

I hope you do not mind me making these, they are fun while I laze in bed. Thankfully my kids managed to make themselves food and me mac n' cheese, woot.Β
Hehe, Welcome! Any time honey! these are fun to make but sorta time consuming since I like to have quality stuff crafted. The water color one I was quite thrilled with, but difficult to pull off.Β
It is a gift for you darling Lau! Yes yes, I hope you enjoy it. screwd up a tiny bit, made the eye green instead of blue. had to edit it down to it's details. Hoped I captured his general "Look"Β
It's complex, I will say that, and supposedly would have been expensive but I am allowed to use a friends account on two and gifted a lora program on one. They are all unrelated but I learned how to chain them together to create great pieces.Β
I can dig around for one of my examples if you wanna see it.
