`LARS ZUIDERDUIN!
`WELCOME TO YOUR LIFE, THERE'S NO TURNING BACK!
NICKNAMES Jerk. Asshole. Dick. Etc. Just kidding he doesn't really have one... does "Big Bro" count?
AGE Seventeen.
GENDER Male.
ETHNICITY Dutch and Belgian.
TEACHER OR STUDENT Student.
SPECIAL ABILITY(s) Physical + Empathic Healing.
Healing- Lars' ability is very straightforward. He is a healer. He can use touch to regenerate damaged cells and speed up the healing process. Having practiced this power for seven years now, Lars is not only able to use it on humans, but plants and animals as well. His power however, can not bring the dead back to life, and can not prevent scarring. If he is too distressed, he can not heal as well, and after a certain point he won't be able to at all.
Lars' healing seems to work the best via kissing, which the school suspects is because he has sensitive lips, but he knows the biggest reason it works best is because he has the most experience with it. Or maybe it is because his lips are sensitive, but that is a little too weird for him to admit.
Empathic Healing- This power wasn't one he had always possessed, but one he developed after living with his sister and little brother for a few years. When he is feeling calm, he is able to spread his feelings to others if they are angry or sad. Lars has learned to feel people's emotions, and he can then use his touch to send a warm feeling through their bodies, taking on their burdens himself. He is used to feeling extremes of anger and sadness from his own emotions, so a lot of times he has no trouble fending off these feelings once they come back to him, but there have been times when someone else's emotions have left him in a slump for weeks. He isn't sure if this power would work through kissing, and he isn't sure if he wants to try.
HOW DID THEY FIGURE OUT?
Lars grew up in a very unhappy home. His mother was a weak-willed woman who often gave into her own depression and anger by drinking a lot of alcohol. Lars, being a young boy, knew that his mother could always fix his cuts and scrapes. (Because she was a healer as well.)So why couldn't he fix her heart? Lars tried and tried, again and again to make his mother feel better, but he could only manage to make plants and minor cuts and scrapes better.
However, one day his mother went too far, and Lars could not heal himself, and he certainly couldn't heal his mother.
Thus, he ended up in a new home. He moved in with his aunt and uncle and their two babies who were a bit younger than himself. He grew attached very quickly. These were people who seemed to be interested in him, and they paid more attention to him than to their own woes.
The more Lars felt like he belonged when he was with them, the more he realized that he was beginning to feel the emotions of his family. He never really realized that empathy was considered a superpower, until he climbed into the lap of his adoptive mother and without doing anything but simply wishing she'd stop crying, she seemed to stop.
But... even though she stopped crying, he started crying instead.
And the same thing happened again with his brother Nico. And as it continued to happen, Lars soon began to realize that maybe he wasn't just a physical healer, but maybe he really did have the ability to heal his birth mother's heart, but just didn't know how to access it.

`EVEN WHILE WE SLEEP. WE WILL FIND YOU,
Most People- It isn't that he hates people but that people really annoy him, a lot. Because they're assholes.
Smoking- Truth is, he is addicted. He knows it is bad, and that someone so young shouldn't smoke, but he does it anyway and can't stop.
Antonio- He's ANNOYINNGGGG.
Being confused for German- He's Dutch. Not German. Dutch.
Bullies- People who feel the need to beat on those they perceive as “below them” are the lowest of the low for him.
Loud Things- Things, usually people, that make a lot of noise are a nuisance, and he'd prefer it if they weren't around.
Showoffs- He feels that people who make grand displays of what they have/their talents are overcompensating for something else.
Spending Money- Since he grew up in a home with little money and ended up in one with a lot of money, he has more than learned the value of a dollar. He feels like people are much happier when they have money in their pockets, and he feels like he is as well.
Messes- To be quite frank, Lars is almost OCD levels clean. He can not take clutter and will go to excessive lengths in order to keep things clean. Like... not.. using the kitchen. Ever. He is also bad at dealing with other people's messes as well.
LARS LIKES
His brother and sister- They're literally his everything. It's probably dangerous that he feels this way but he doesn't know what he would do without them.
Chess- He literally sucks so much at chess. But he enjoys playing it with his siblings.
Bikes- Nothing is better than enjoying the fresh air while riding your bike!
Orange- It's his favorite color.
Tulips- What? They're his favorite flowers! They're cute and elegant.. and he may or may not have styled his own hair after them...
Bunnies- They're cute! He just adores their long ears and soft fluffy fur! At home he has kept a number of pet rabbits, all of whom he has loved and cared for like his children.
Working out- His work out regimen is quite intense.
Sweets- He loves just about anything sweet and baked goods are the best. He tries to cut back on his intake of fatty sweets, knowing that it isn't really good for his figure, but he just can't help himself sometimes!
Antonio- Sometimes he isn't annoying.
Windmills- They're very pretty and nostalgic to him in ways he can't explain.
His Scarf- A beloved possession he is rarely seen without. His sister handmade and gave it to him when he was young, and he has taken special care to make sure that it stays in immaculate condition.
FEARS
Losing his family- As mentioned earlier, they are pretty much his everything. His fear of them marrying the wrong person or forgetting about him is very high. His fear of them dying is something he doesn't even want to think about.
Becoming Really Poor- He doesn't want to end up like his mother. As long as he can live with high income and save his money, he will be happy. He just.. really.. doesn't want to spend his days scraping money.
Germs- He doesn't like dirty things and has a tendency to overwash, and overanalyze everything. He has gotten over it a bit in recent years, but you can still see him back away when he gets never sick people sometimes.
QUIRKS
His Grin- Literally four people have seen it. Those people being, Nico, Emma, Mathias and Antonio. It is said that he holds back a grin that looks eerily similar to his sister's own famous one.
Southpaw- Lars is left-handed.
Beware the Mornings- Not so much a quirk but, Lars is an absolute bear in the morning. He is a literal fuse waiting to go off.
Adopted- Lars for the most part grew up with his Belgian mother in the Netherlands. They didn't have very much money and his Dutch father left the picture when he was very young. The tension was high in this home and after a certain incident, he was taken in by his relatives who lived in Luxembourg. He adores his new family and refuses to see them as anything other than the real deal.
Ticklish- He is probably the most ticklish person you'd ever meet. A fact of which he is very ashamed.
Languages- Because he grew up in so many places, Lars has managed to gain a knowledge of many languages. His mother always spoke to him in Dutch, so that is his first language. In addition to that, his second home is Luxembourg, and he prefers to speak to his siblings in Luxembourgish, and at school he speaks English. In addition to that, living in Luxembourg, he has picked up some French, and he has a minuscule knowledge of Flemish.
Freckles- He has them on his back and shoulders.
Insomnia- Lars has it bad. He has a hard time getting to sleep at night, and he isn't sure why. Certain things help him sleep better, but that is his own personal business. Don't ask him either. Or he'll get mad.
Art Skill- He is surprisingly good at drawing, and even he doesn't understand why.
His Scar- Despite having been able to heal himself for as long as he could remember, he was so emotionally distraught when he received his scar that he was unable to heal himself for many weeks, and his injuries ended up scarring over.
OVERALL PERSONALITY
Stubborn- Probably the most noticeable thing about Lars is his stubbornness. He tends to see things in one light and will vehemently refuse to see things any other way. He is quick to get defensive over his views and often times this leads to people disliking him more than he'd own up to.
Staunch Defender. Lars is always willing to stand up for the little guy. He can not stand those who get their sick rushes from beating down on those weaker than them. As such, he is always willing to rush to the aid of those in need. Of course, sometimes his protection is a little overbearing, and can get to be annoying, but he does his best.
Grumpy. Lars is extremely grumpy. He gets ticked off by the littlest of things and often times lashes out at things without meaning to. He feels he doesn't lash out unless the target is deserving of it, but there are times he can severely hurt people's feelings without meaning to, and yes, he does end up feeling bad about it.
Intuitive- Having an intuition like no other, Lars is always right. Or at least he thinks he is always right. Lars usually doesn't speak up unless he feels like he is in the right. The fact that he can say things with such conviction can at times convince people that he is right, even if what he is feeling is just a simple gut feeling.
Observant- That being said, Lars'intuition is based more or less on his observations. Because he is such a quiet man, he tends to stand back and notice things that no one else does. He'd much prefer to only speak when he knows what he is talking about.
Intense- Just being around him can make people feel a bit uneasy. It is almost like the guyd doesn't know how to not glare. He seems to be in a permanent state of anger, even when he isn't angry and it makes people keep their distance.
Quiet- It can be hard to have a conversation with Lars. He doesn't like small talk, and more than likely he doesn't want to discuss your kids and pets with you. He much prefers to get to the fact of the matter, and won't waste time talking when he doesn't have to.
Meticulous- He always pays close attention to detail. He doesn't do anything half-assed and if someone tries to present something half-assed to him, he'll get very upset. His eye is pratically unbeatable in this aspect.
Punctual- Lars is never late. He insists on showing up for everything early or on time. He has no time for lolligagging around, and associating with those that slow him down can cause him great annoyance.
Loyal- He is willing to do almost anything for the people he loves. He will stand up for them, protect them, and keep them company. He would never let anyone hurt the people he loved especially if he could help it.
Easily Upset- If Lars feels like people are working against him, he can get quite flustered. He doesn't like the feeling of being willing to do anything for those he loves, but them being scared of him.
Open-Minded- It may seem like the exact opposite of the stubbornness he possesses, but in actuality, Lars is a very accepting individual. He won't judge someone based on how they act, their age or even if they are criminals. He feels that what you do is what you do, and if you aren't bothering him then it doesn't matter to him. However this isn't to say that he doesn't feel differently when said individuals are his family. No one is good enough for his family. Or even the ones he sees as family.
Blunt- Lar never ever sugarcoats things. He won't hesistate even one second to call someone out on their idiocy. Of course some people take this the wrong way, but really he is just trying to help. He just doesn't think it's nessecary to baby people... unless they're babies of course.
Miserly- Lars does not enjoy spending money. He will go to excessive lengths in order to prevent himself and other people from spending money.
`ACTING ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR, TURN YOUR BACK ON MOTHER NATURE!
[/ul][/font]Nico had been quite grumpy lately. Of course Lars knew why. He was eleven, and just about to go into the sixth grade, and Nico was only six, on the verge of turning seven. But it wasn't just that Lars was leaving his school that had the young boy all worked up. Oh no. It was that Lars was going away. Lars was leaving him!
Of course he felt bad about it! But what was he supposed to do? His mother wouldn't let him do otherwise! She said that Nico would end up going as well, but.. ah.. who was he kidding? He was going to have a pretty hard time doing things without his little brother there to help him. Especially when he was feeling down.
“Hey mom, where is Nico?” Lars asked, stalking next to her in the kitchen and peeking over the counter at her cooking.
“Oh, Nico is outside baby, why don't you bring him in?”
Lars blinked. It was strange for Nico to be outside, but regardless, he nodded and went outside to find his little brother. It didn't take Lars very long to find the boy, ashe was curled up on the sidewalk in front of their home, his knee clutched to his chest.
What on earth was that kid doing?
Lars approached him slowly at first, only to speed up once he got closer, because he realized that Nico was crying. Lars pulled the little boy into his lap once he kneeled down, and realized quickly that his brother had scrapped his knee up.
“Are you alright? You seem like you fell really hard!”
Nico didn't say anything, other than burying his face into Lars' shirt. Lars didn't realy understand this action, because he thought that Nico was mad at him, but he patted his brother's back for a good few minutes while he calmed himself down.
After a bit, the six year old looked up at him, and rubbed his eyes.
“Can you kiss it better?”
Lars had heard those words so many times, he couldn't help but laugh.
“Of course I can, Nico.” He leaned forward and planted a small kiss on Nico's knee, feeling quite proud of himself as the nasty road rash began to vanish as though it hadn't even been there in the first place.
How perfect.
Of course his smile was caught off-guard by a return cheek kiss.
“Thank you, big bro!”
A warm feeling filled his heart as he lifted Nico onto his back.
“Come on, lets go play some racing cars!”
Of course he felt bad about it! But what was he supposed to do? His mother wouldn't let him do otherwise! She said that Nico would end up going as well, but.. ah.. who was he kidding? He was going to have a pretty hard time doing things without his little brother there to help him. Especially when he was feeling down.
“Hey mom, where is Nico?” Lars asked, stalking next to her in the kitchen and peeking over the counter at her cooking.
“Oh, Nico is outside baby, why don't you bring him in?”
