● abilities:

Laurent's most dangerous asset is his mind. He is clever, tactical, and viciously intelligent. He is almost always two or three steps ahead of most people, anticipating actions and reactions and planning accordingly. As a prince, he has been trained in many fine arts, though takes most pride in his swordsmanship. He is multilingual, speaking Patran, Vaskian, and Akielon.

● strengths:

Many of Laurent's strength lay in his brutal intelligence. He is cunning, focused, and perceptive, taking the time necessary to examine obstacles from all angles, and find the best answer he possibly can to life's more challenging problems. Raised in a high stakes, winner take all political battle with his uncle, even at thirteen Laurent set out to define himself. He is also an extremely manipulative individual, unafraid of using whatever means he has available to him if it furthers his goal. He is also extremely brave, never allowing fear to stop him. Even at his lowest points, including when impaled on a blade through his shoulder and brutally tortured, Laurent doesn't back down, and doesn't allow himself to give up or succumb to fear while captured. Endlessly loyal, Laurent's trust may not be an easy thing to earn- but once given, he will not renege. When he promises to return Damen to his kingship, he puts his own life on the line to do so, and never once second guesses or doubts that this is a worthwhile risk, since he believes in Damen and trusts him. Above all else, Laurent is a survivor; a fighter. Nothing has ever been given to Laurent freely, not love, nor loyalty, and yet Laurent survives and endures- and not only this, but overcomes as well. Beneath his icy exterior, Laurent is above all, kind, and compassionate, but he struggles to show this side of himself, feeling as though it will be taken advantage of, if he does.

● weaknesses:

A product of his Uncle's abuse, Laurent is an extremely guarded individual. He has a fear of being seen as vulnerable, or weak, and so he does not trust easily. At times keeping people at arms length, and harming his cause far more than helping him in doing so. He also is deeply critical of himself and his own actions, and has an ingrained sense of self-loathing. He despises his own weaknesses, knowing them all too intimately and having seen them laid out and torn to shreds at the hands of his uncle. Laurent can be extremely reckless at times, and when he is unable to predict an outcome he will throw himself headfirst into whatever might happen, instead leaving it to chance. He knows he is a pretty face, and that for it people tend to underestimate him, but at times Laurent also underestimates himself for it; allowing the voice of his uncle that he carries inside of him to poison his confidence.

When pushed past breaking Laurent becomes unrelentingly vicious and cruel. He eviscerates a young man so effectively with his words that it leads to his self-inflicted death. When he is that unhinged and angry, he loses control and lashes out at the first person or persons that he believes "deserve" it, but no one truly deserves the depth of cruelty that Laurent is capable of.
