LAURENT JULIAN TASSE, JR.
		HISTORY By all accounts, Law had a pretty normal childhood... If you can discount the fact that being Nocturnal comes all too easy to him. Growing up in New Orleans, he'd been more used to being awake at night on the count of the Kindred being active mostly after the sun set. Point of fact, he'd come into this world as the second eldest child of Laurent Tasse, Sr. on one such night - and his father's Midnight Rider squad barely got there in time (which was relative, considering his mom happened to be an Acanthus Mage). That said, Law (because his dad would forever be ribbed by his squad as having broken several to get to him) enjoyed life as much as a child could. The boy grew up in a city that was as safe as any, had friends, had fun. His parents would tell him about the possibility that he or his siblings would awaken to certain gifts: Mage like their mom, or maybe an Ocelot like their dad. Their mom was often the one at home, being that she was stationed here by Netsach along with her Blade. Their dad wouldn't be home as often, being that he was a Midnight Rider - pretty much traveled everywhere, and would only be home from time to time. Like most other New Orleans kids, Law developed a love for the streets. They came alive at night and even moreso during Mardi Gras. At the age of ten he'd found a love for music and dance as well, encouraged by his mom. His brother later taught him the basics of parkour and free running, by challenging Law to straight-line races around Rue Bourbon. Unfortunately for the both of them, their father was the better runner, and could easily beat them. Law's life remained happily uneventful until 2063. His older brother went through his Storm, thankfully, their dad had been home at the time. At this time, Law began attending Audubon Institute's Hunter School, along with his best friend; a Kindred by the name of Louis Roquefort. Law was excited, even with the fact that he became mostly nocturnal. The excitement wouldn't last very long, as tidings of battle became clearer. New Orleans, thankfully, had been one of the cities that had been safe during the seventy-two hour attack that's now called "The Armistice Tragedy". After the attack ceased, Law's father gathered the family to announce that he was heading to The Falner Estate to assist in the upcoming battle against the Watcher in the Dark, to which their mother reacted badly, citing the possibility that he might not return. She would be unable to participate as she was pregnant. To say that Law's dad was his hero was a bit of an understatement, which was why Law was devastated when the call came in that their father and his squad perished during the seven-day operation known as Gehenna Bound. The empty casket of Laurent Julian Tasse, Sr. was buried on June 17, 2064, when the dust had settled, and everyone - save Law - acknowledged that the elder Tasse wasn't coming back. The year passed by quickly for Law, who couldn't accept the fact as there was no body. This, to him, was evidence enough that his father might still be alive. Law began his search online, corresponding with known associates of his dad. When that failed, he began attempting to gain access to information through other means, with very little success, though he would often be able to sneak into bars or clubs frequented by Hunters to do so. His mother eventually discovered his escapades right around his seventeenth birthday and begged him to stop, that his dad was gone and there wasn't anything that it would be best that they moved on with their lives, starting with leaving New Orleans and moving to Arcis. His brother also took him aside and told him that it was just the cycle went, which caused him to leave their home in a rage and went for a run around the city, eventually finding himself in the woods his school was named for. Rare was Law ever angry, but that night had been markedly different, his anger felt white-hot in the pit of his stomach and spreading. It was in this unfortunate state that Louis found him, too angry to explain, words gnashed and the only thing Law would state was that "They're wrong, dad is alive!! There were no bodies, not even their bikes!!". He was breathing hard, supporting himself against the bark of a redwood, Louis asking him to come home. A crack sounded as Law lost control, the burning in him finally escalating into an explosion that caused him to see red... rending bark from tree with impossible claws. The boy launched himself at his best friend, yowling and clawing as his skin rippled and shifted, gray-spotted fur rising. As his teeth sharpened and went in for the bite, Louis threw him away, watching in shock as Law's humanity slipped away, revealing an ocelot with angry teal eyes. The vampire admonished him to breathe, only for Law to turn and run deeper into the woods. He found himself in a clearing as the clouds. The tears he'd barely shed during his father's funeral came now, the young ocelot crying in ways only he could in this form. Crying gave way to him ripping the trees in the clearing apart ceaselessly. The rains fell as all his sadness, grief and pain tapered out. Louis and Jackson found him sniffling and wet hours later, Law clambered into Louis' arms, muttering apologies. His best friend hugs him back just as fiercely, chuckling, saying that he's been nineteen a while, and it'll take more than that to keep him away. Once home, Law collapsed, still fevered from his Storm. After a day of rest, his mom sits him down and tells him that under no certain terms that he is grounded - a first in their family - pending further conversation. He remained adamant in finding out for certain if his father or any of their blade survived, but accepted his mother's punishment - and for the meantime - contented himself with learning more about himself, and with school. After the new year, his mom sat him down after dinner and asked if he was willing to finally move on from his dad. Law said no. She sighed, tears in her eyes, saying: "I've already lost the love of my life, I can't lose you too." Realizing that she would never allow him to look if he asked, Law began secretly planning how to find leads in earnest. He eventually came to the conclusion that definitive proof could only be confirmed if he could get to the Midnight Riders' base at The Falner Estate. With a lot of help from Louis over the next few months, Laurent Tasse managed to acquire a passport and clearance to travel to the Philippines. He arrived in the country just days after Independence Day, armed with what knowledge he had and meager savings, intent on finally finding the truth about his father. PERSONALITY Growing up in New Orleans, Law inevitably acquired the Yat accent common to the county, though he would switch between that and a more neutral one. It's a mark of closeness when he drops into former. Law's always had a steady temperament, slow to anger and rare are the moments when his anger lasts for more than two minutes. It has never been to his detriment that he has the face of an angel (his mom's words, not his), or that it's all too easy to let him off the hook when the puppy eyes make an appearance (again, his mom's words). Like any other happy kid, he does smile easily, and falls in love with just about any good thing life has to offer. Of course, that doesn't mean that he won't be able to tell when someone isn't on the up-and-up, and it's only gotten better with his enhanced senses. It is also because of this that he makes friends easily, and though most one-on-one conversations with him may have one thinking that the boy is flirting, that isn't always the case. This emotional openness makes for a very expressive face, and anyone who gets to know him will know that he clenches his teeth when he's getting mad, and that he'll run his hands up and down his face when he's stressed. Laughter was a constant thing in the family, and Law has a penchant for puns, if the audience is receptive. Anything he does like to do, though, he will do with all the passion he can muster, hence the fact that he can dance pretty well, and free run like nothing else matters. Of course like most teenagers, Law has secrets to keep, and he hides them very well. He isn't above using a little misdirection to derail anyone if they get too close to something he doesn't want them knowing. His ability to do this has only increased since he began looking for his father. He's confident in the things that he can do, and that includes finding out if his dad is truly gone or not. He does feel that he owes it to his family to give them that closure, even if it seems that it is more for him than it is for them. That said, he still wants things for himself - chief among them becoming a Midnight Rider like his dad. DESCRIPTION Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
