Physical Description
Laurence stands at roughly 5’ 5” and sports a slender figure. Perhaps considered a tad small for a boy his age he is still just a bit taller than some! Slim, athletic and with a fragile build, the boy comes across as someone who is a little on the weak side and could be pushed over easily. Which is sort-of true. His hair is of a black shade and is at times a little wavy and messy as it reaches the sides of his face, whilst his eyes are a very light shade of blue. Laurence is considered a rather average looking boy, if not slightly cute in some way that many find a little appealing.
"O-Oh no, I'm not that cute. Heavens you'll make me blush."
"I'm not your average mage I guess, am I Dark or White?"

Abilties | Powers
Gravitational Forces | Laurence has the ability to create separate forces of gravity that will either draw everything directly to it or repel things in the opposite direction completely. This is by far his near perfected power in that he can use it fairly easily, though that is not to say the boy has complete control over it. At its strongest he is capable of uprooting a considerably small building, though such a feat requires an exceptional amount of physical energy from Laurence in order to execute correctly. The gravity forces can be used offensively and defensively, be it propelling him to higher areas, catapulting foes about, and generally allowing him to walk along any surface such as walls, buildings, ceilings, etc. Although at its worst and when losing control all most anything within a small radius is susceptible to being affected by his gravitational forces.
"My oddest ability but it comes in handy! Haha. It's kinda cool too?"
Light Being | Using light energy Laurence is able to create a single light being which is an identity-less figure made up of pure light that can be controlled by him. It serves as an assistant capable of transforming itself into a protective barrier or even sacrifice itself in order to keep its mage safe. However the being itself can only take up to three hits before dispersing into nothing, as well, it is highly sensitive to becoming corrupt and turning into a shadow being due to Laurence’s conflicting elements. The shadow being is harder to command and there is a chance it can turn against its mage if he is mentally weak, but similar to its light counterpart the shadow being can be easily destroyed should such an event occur.
"I still got some issues to figure out and all but I'll get there, eventually! Ha."
Shadow Soul | Only having used this once or twice, Laurence is able to eliminate all emotion and feeling from his body. His being will become surrounded by a dark aura and most notably his eyes will change to red, though only slightly as his power is not at its fullest potential. Essentially, he can take on various degrees of damage through this, as doing so rids him pain entirely. He doesn’t feel anything. Likewise he doesn’t feel fear and anxiety either, and will take on anyone without thinking. Although his fragile build does make him vulnerable to being knocked about easily regardless as this ability offers little for protection, only sustainability. But for this to work correctly he needs to be completely focused, the slightest lapse in thought could jeopardize him, and cause his abilities to form into a 'light alternative' which actually forces his power to work in reverse and cause the boy to feel additional pain as appose to none. It is quite a risky ability that he lacks experience in.
"It scares me a little and I don't feel completely confident in using it, at least not a lot. I try not to."
"Being the greatest mage doesn't mean winning every fight, right?"

History
Born into a vast line of mages as many of his kind usually are much of Laurence's childhood was seemingly average and as expected for your typical mage. However there was one difference to his family that made him stand out from your common youthful mage; his mother was a dark mage and his father was a white mage. Born with conflicting elements it was only expected of him, even though the union between his parents was frowned upon by their respective kins, his mother and father were too much in love to care about anything else. They moved away from their family and raised their son in a quiet town far away and kept his powers secret from the townsfolk for the sake of raising their child peacefully.
Their lives began to change once Laurence grew older and his powers began developing at a rapid rate. His parents were both proud yet worried as their son showed true potential, yet lacked proper control over his abilities. That, and keeping the nature of his powers secret from their neighbours was proving more difficult as he progressed. Upon hearing of the Survival Kit Academy they decided to send Laurence to attend in hopes of helping the boy grow as a mage, and perhaps educate him better with his abilities and show him how to truly master his own talents. Willing to go, the boy was taken away to the academy and that is where he is now, nervously awaiting what the future holds for him.
"I-I'm here to learn and prove I'm not that bad of a mage!"
Other
||Partial Deafness||
Laurence is completely deaf in his left ear due to an accident during his youth and as such he relies entirely on his right side for full sense of hearing. Although should his right ear be preoccupied, such as with music or if he has it covered with something, then Laurence would essentially be completely deaf for a period of time until you caught his attention. Similarly this effects him in fights and makes him quite vulnerable if distracted.
"I really need to pay more attention in the future but sometimes I can't help it."
||White & Dark Mage||
Due to his parents being of opposite elements Laurence is in a way considered a hybrid of both. He is weak against both elements and at times even his own abilities are affected by his own conflicting inner elements. This is particularity why he lacks full control of his own powers.
"I don't blame my parents at all, though being a mixture of both isn't exactly easy either."
