Look, call me Peter Pan. Might as well, 'cause we've both lost our shadows. I'm gonna sew that freaking thing to me when I find it.
Name:
Logan Kyle Summers
Age:
18
Personality/Background:
Logan was born a pretty normal birth. Two parents, happily married, middle class, three siblings all older than him. His mother was a stay-at-home mom while his father worked a 9-5 job during the day and went to university classes in the afternoon. When Logan entered middle school, his father graduated with a degree in Law and went on to become one of the more successful lawyers in the state.
With success came wealth and a huge change in lifestyle for Logan. He moved to a private school with his other siblings and his mother went back to school. With his father gone during most of the daylight hours and his mother gone in the afternoons, Logan and his siblings became very self sufficient, not really ever communicating. His brothers and sisters flourished at school, leaving Logan behind. As a result, Logan became sort of invisible in his family.
The summer of Logan's eighth grade year, his only sister died in the middle of the night while she slept peacefully in her bed. The maids found her there, just like she was asleep. Logan's room was adjacent to hers and so the commotion woke him up. Watching the paramedics lift and carry her to the gurney, Logan noticed that the bright lights in the room casted shadows of everyone but his sister.
His sister's passing stuck with Logan for much longer than the rest of his family. He didn't understand the connection between his sister's "lost" shadow and her death, but it made him pay more attention. Eventually, his two brothers left for university, leaving Logan at home on his own. The day of his graduation, sitting in the velvet lined auditorium seats, he looked up at the lights for a moment. It reminded him of his sister, which made him want to touch the ground, touch his shadow. When he looked back down, it was already gone. Panicked, he ran to the bathroom and found that his reflection was also gone. It sent the boy into such a state of panic that he wouldn't eat or sleep for days, Googling stuff for hours at a time about lost shadows and reflections. When someone finally bothered to check on him, he answered the door to find a man in a suit and smile, a old book resting under his arm. It was then that he became part of the "secret service", as he likes to call it, searching for the person to take with him into the other world and find their shadows before it's too late.
Logan is an overall nice guy. He's very chivalrous and kind, has a pretty good sense of humor. He is extremely smart and observant, which is why he was chosen for his position in the SS. He tends to be a little brash, saying things that come to his mind too quickly. He puts his foot in his mouth often, regretting a lot of things. Logan doesn't really have a temper; he tends to act like he doesn't care about anything at all, which can get really annoying. He is the opposite of athletic, even walking long distances makes him short of breath. He absolutely hates running. Most of all, though, he worries about self-preservation above all else, which is a huge flaw.
