[CHAR] LYDIA

[Beetlejuice96]

Name: Lydia Deetz
Age: Dirt
Gender: Female

Personality: Sassy, snarky, quick witted and a little foul mouthed are all traits this demon has. It's all a cover up to hide the emotional baggage she carries with her, especially with her father marrying a new stepmother demon. Sure, she has issues but it doesn't matter when she tries to get what she wants.

History: Being the daughter of the higher up demons, Lydia was always in her father's shadow as she strived to make a name for herself which landed her into some trouble. After the death of her mother via Sandworm, she grew reclusive and shut everyone out. She was equally surprised and furious when her father remarried to Delia. Believing her father never truly loved her mother, Lydia fled to the Living World to unleash her anger on Breathers. Upon arriving, she found her powers lessened and no one able to see her. She refused to return home, traveling the world in search of someone foolish enough to say her name three times in a row.

Powers: Lydia is able to bend reality as we know it to her every whim. Practically a demon version of Genie but only when summoned. In her incorporeal form, she can't really do much aside from phasing through walls, teleporting, and attempting to get someone to notice her.

[Metronome]

Name: Lawrence Betelgeuse
Age: Mid thirties
Gender: Male

Occupation: Used car salesman

Personality: He uses humor to hide the fact that he's one bad day from stepping in front of a train. Lawrence likes to ignore his problems in hopes that they'll go away. He has everyone he works with fooled into thinking that he's a funny, confident, and maybe even crass comedy man. When, really, he's just a sad, lonely guy trying to make ends meet and wishing that his insane, shitty mom would stop showing up in his life.

History: Lawrence grew up in Connecticut with his parents. His dad was a normal, if not emotionally repressed, guy. His mom was batshit insane. Lawrence's father constantly turned a blind eye to the abuse his mother enacted on him, the bruises, the cigarette burns, being locked out of the house all night. Finally, one day, his father 'went to by a case of beer', and never came back. Being left alone with his mother made Lawrence's life a hundred times more miserable, so, around his teens, he began to act out and hang around with the wrong crowd. He wouldn't even come home most nights.

Lawrence dropped out of business school in his early twenties and managed to obtain a used car lot, which made him just enough money to live on. He became known for his gimmicky commercials and hilarious persona. But, when he came home to his shitty apartment every night, the facade fell away. He wasn't happy. He was never happy.

About a year ago, his father came back into his life. Lawrence had hope that maybe he'd have at least one parent's approval and affection, but he soon found out that his father was only coming to him because he had cancer, and needed someone to pay for his treatments. Lawrence, being a push over when it came to his parents, did so. This incurred the wrath of his mother, who eventually found out.

After that hell, his father still passed a few months ago. Lawrence was still alone, still hated by his mom, and still broke. He managed to find a house that he could put a 0% down payment on, and was rock bottom cheap. Apparently the two schmucks that lived there before kicked it in the basement or something. Whatever, he doesn't believe in ghosts, anyway.
