Theodore Von Laurence And his peculiar self

## **Theodore Von Laurence and his many self's**

Theodore Von Laurence is an odd man, not in the sense he is mad nor in the sense he is some strange hermit in the mountains, he has multiple personalities. Each state a different origin so no one truly knows where he came from. These personalities include communist patriot, Peter Ivanov, Inventor and ex-orphan Thomas Mechanica, chivalric and somewhat obnoxious knight Alastair De La Cour Lavigne and of course the main personality, Theodore Von Laurence, Architect and business owner.

### **Personality**

As to be expected, each persons personality varies. Let us start with Thomas, Thomas von mechanica is a very socially awkward man, rarely going outside due to his obsessiveness with inventions. His love for inventing has trampled, kicked, and spat on his social life because it is the only thing he wants to talk about. Mannerisms wise he is like a raccoon, quite energetic at times and likes to steal others food.

Theodore von Laurence, is more upright but closed off, because of his former noble status he often doesn't understand things that is common place for most people but he is kind none the less, shrewd as he may be he is also fiercely loyal to who ever he decides to serve.

Peter Ivanov is like Theodore extremely loyal, but also very boastful. With laughter booming enough one might mistake it for artillery barrages he has a common practice to smash through walls instead of using doors, this might be a habit he has picked up from his alleged past.

### **Physical appearance**

Because all personalities are in the same body, the body doesn't change when one of them surfaces, although all personalities have their own stories on how they became the way they are. The body is a 193 humanoid axolotl, weighing in at 87 kg and the clothing varies depending on personality.

Theodore von Laurence wears a white shirt with a green tie, on top of it he has a black vest and on his right arm he has an emerald brooch. The rest of his clothing consists of black leather gloves, black leather shoes, black pants and a monocle with a gold chain.

Alastair De La Cour Lavigne wears his suit of armour constantly, it is equipped with a cape, a helmet with a flippable visor, chest plate, shoulder plates, leg plates and chain mail.

Peter ivanov wears a large winter coat With two rows of buttons running down the middle of the body, he has leather gloves and high leather boots, Atop his head he wears an Ushanka.

Thomas Mechanica wears a white shirt, red tie and a somewhat messy black vest with buttons running down the middle of this body, On his legs he wears black pants tucked into his tall brown leather boots, on top of the vest he has a lavender coat with golden details.

### Origins

As previously mentioned accounts differ from personality to personality. So I will be going through all stories about the mans origins.

#### Theodore von Laurence

Theodore Von Laurence was born to **Arthur von laurence** and **Alcina Von Solon** in the **Empire Of Vasilios**. Within the Empire the Laurence family where rules of the Laurencia Dukedom, the dukedoms main export was raw materials which was mostly put to use for warfare, tons high quality iron, tens of battle ships, Armour and weapons flooded out of the dukedom everyday. **The House of Laurence** originated from two families, The Grand-master of **the knights of the Starling** and the astronomical group known as **The Carian Society**. The Knight order was the most elite group of knights to ever belong to a Noble House and the Carian society was a religious and scientific order, They strongly believed that astral bodies where alive and had their own force that could be used for various means if they could attain a piece of a star, They also studied the movement of stars and how stars worked, how the sky worked. The Societies leader was the Electus Astris, meaning "The One Chosen By The Stars" . The dukedom was lead at the time by one **Arthur Von Laurence**. He had raven hair, Emerald green eyes and was quite tall too, he was strict but just, he treated commoners and Nobles equally which was unheard of at the time and did not show favor to anyone just by virtue of their status. His **Father Theosion Von Laurence** had a long and successful reign and it was also under his reign the family heirloom would come into their possession. The Family Heirloom is a halberd made out of violet crystal, the crystal came from a boulder that had crashed from space onto the Dukedoms territory. Theosion's reign ended when he was killed by an assasin sent by **Count Quincy Endicott**. Endicott and the entire house was promptly executed.

Arthur who was only 19 at the time now had to take the shattered **Laurencia Dukedom** by the horns and somehow repair it. In this he succeeded mostly because of his political marriage with the main heiress to the **Dukedom of Solon**, **Alcina Von Solon**. They would proceed to have 3 children, **Perion** the oldest, **Perion** was named after an old myth about a titan who once ruled the stars, **Psyche** the middle child, Who was named after the myth of a mortal woman so beautiful it even threatened the goddess of love, and lastly, **Theodore**, who was born 6 years after his other two siblings, and he was named after Arthur's late grandfather, **Theosion von Laurence**. Although the all of them where born of the same mother and father, they grew up in very different lives.

**Perion** would be the only one of the three children to attend **the Royal Academy**, A boarding school for nobles where they would get the highest grade education in all matters relating to being a noble, Etiquette, how to govern territory, economics and warfare. It played a crucial role within the empire and for the nobles as this gave them the ability to show off their own prodigy children, it also made for a place where nobles could show off their might. After Perion graduated at the top of his class from the academy he decided to cast away his title and become a knight, this disappointed Arthur considering he was the only heir to the family but he supported his sons decision instead. This would be a wildly successful choice as he was soon declared "**The Sword of the Empire**", the highest rank a knight could gain.

Early in **Psyche's** life she was taken in by the **Church of Vasilios** and sent away to the Vatican, this was a security measure taken by Arthur to ensure his beloved Psyche wouldn't be married off in a political marriage to someone she did not desire. There she attained the title "The Holy" and became the youngest Cardinal within the church at the age of 21. She would die 2 years after she became Cardinal, the official report was illness but the duke had his suspicions of the church after that.

And lastly **Theodore**, being the only choice for an heir was rigorously educated as to make him the best possible heir, and that he was. He attended the Royal Academy but graduated after just 4 years whilst the normal stay was 8 years. He was then personally taught by **Marquis Niccolo**, and old war hero, for 13 years, and it was at the age of 16 he could legally be declared **Duke Junior** and main heir to the House of Laurence. Under the ceremony he was dubbed with **the Family heirloom**, swore a pledge, and was made **Duke Junior**.

He had a short tenure as Duke Junior because he discovered something miraculous, something one might even consider magic. The family heirloom was a piece of a star, and within stored the life force of said star. Scientists and Cardinals from across the empire theorized why no one else managed to accomplish this but they eventually didn't come to an answer. Anyhow, the halberd gave the owner enormous possibilities for creation and destruction, but Theodore decided to use it for creation. This he put to great use as his favorite thing was to invent, and his father, wanting to turn this hobby into something useful for the Dukedom pestered his son and ingrained it into his mind to invent weaponry, the main export of the dukedom. And that Theodore did. But it came with an ugly side effect, Theodore was turning more and more amphibian, his skin began to grow pinkish and his emerald eyes darkened. His fingers began to grow translucent membranes and eventually he turned into the very form he is today. Despite being loved among the people of Laurencia people outside called him "The monster of Laurencia". This made Theodore shut himself in the manor he had been relegated too in order to avoid the harassment and the only interactions he had was with his butler and his father, Arthur visited Theodore regularly but Alcina, Theodore's mother didn't spare him the light of day. To her he was just a shame to the House of Laurence. For a while there was discussion among the nobles about wether or not Theodore should be executed or if a holy crusade should be sent to Laurencia, this was also fueled by the fact that Theodore was a terrifying prospect, if he was not stopped he would inherit the Dukedom of Solon And the Dukedom of Laurence, but no one dared to take it further than discussion, In fear of the military might of Laurencia. But then something catastrophic happened, The pope began endorsing the idea of a crusade. The House of Laurence was offered an ultimatum, Either disband your house or prepare for war. And so with the simple stroke of a feather, hundreds of years of history was erased, and the House of Laurence was no more.

Theodore was sent away on a boat by his father and to accompany him was his butler, he was told to find a land where he would be able to call home. And thus he landed on the shores of Zabrovka.

**Notes:** Although it is an amusing story no doubt there are some plot holes in "Theodore's" accounts, first off, Vasilios is not a real nation or place, i have raised the archive to the ground searching historical documents but none mention this "Empire of vasilios". Secondly there is no word of where this butler is or who he might be, even Theodore seemed tumbled when asked where the butler is now.

#### Peter Ivanov

Peter is a peculiar case. He was born in a nation that came to be called "The united People's Republics of Blagnovostia", Previously the Kingdom of Blagnovostia, There he was born to an unnamed father and mother. They lived on a farm on the countryside, it was hard work but they survived, they'd get harassed daily by the garrison stationed there for bribes or protection money. Peter and his family could bear the burden of harsh manual labour and harassment from the soldiers who where meant to protect them, but then the war broke out. The Kingdom of Blagnovostia had gone to war with another unnamed nation, long story short (By Peters own words) The war drained the nations money, food, and resources. His father was drafted too to become another name on the memorial of those lost in the war. Because the farm could not function without his father Peter and his family had to sell everything and move into the city. There he began working in the factories and managed to build a sort of comradeship with his fellow working class coworkers, they all suffered the same pain in the same place at the same time, and there was a unity in that. On one fateful day, their family got the word. A soldier had turned up on their doorstep, with a letter, a bloodied uniform, and a paper flower. The letter informed them that Peters father had died in combat, distraught his mother fell into despair, eventually dying as she starved herself and went mute because of the grief. Eventually the workers rebel, as the king had lost the support of the army, what happened soon after was a bloody purge, generals, aristocrats, royalty where all slaughtered. During the revolution, Peter having been enraged by the meaningless death of his father, the awful death of his mother, and the living conditions they all lived in caused Peter to do unspeakable actions. Other nations sent in volunteer battalions to keep the monarchy in place but they could not stop the will of the people. Peter went on a slaughtering spree, he went back to his home on the countryside and slaughtered the 100 men stationed there to garrison it. He along with droves of young men and women signed up to become a part of the revolution.

Because the revolution was one made by the working class and for the working class they adopted the ideology of communism, and became the "United Peoples Republic of Blagnovostia". During the war because of his actions he became a hero, and that had earned him enough merit to become the subject of a secret government program to genetically enhance 50 men beyond human limits. This is his explenation for being an odd axolotl person. Whilst a part of the program he was trained intensely with unnecessary brutality. They would be beaten, lacerated and electrocuted in order to build up pain tolerances, they gained through the genetic modification enhanced endurance, speed, stamina and strength. Out of the 50 prime subjects, all men in their 30's, only 5 survived. After two years of this training only Peter remained. He was due to be trained even more but the neighbouring nations smelled blood in the water, Blagnovostia who had just been through one war, one civil war, and a government change must be weak right?. And indeed it was, during the coalitions forces advance on the Blagnovostia capital the government decided to terminate and destroy any evidence of their highly illegal and unethical human experiments, this Peter ended up putting as "Those prissy little fucking bastards too scared to meet me in person sent in my fellow country men to die" followed my a rain of insults even i am not evil or wicked enough to plague this paragraph with. Peter in the middle of training, was met by 5 Blagnovostian soldiers, whom all opened fire, The bolts bounced off or broke on Peters skin. He charged at them, tackling one so hard into the concrete wall of the underground bunker his spine cracked, the other he grabbed by the jaw and smashed into the other two and the last solider too terrified to move just fell backwards in terror. Peter quickly made his way out and stole one of the boats at the military facility, leaving his country men and his home behind he drove the boat as far as he could until it sank, (why the boat sank was not explained) which he then promptly started swimming, he swam for days until he found the frozen shores of Zabrovka.

I have yet to gather the other two personalities accounts on their origin. Theodore stated that Tom refused to talk to me and Peter explained that Alastair thought i was an evil wizard and also refused to talk to me.
