"-sigh- I don't even want to do this... Can't I just go play guitar? ..No? Fine fine... Alright My name is Landen.. Landen Christopher Mckenzie if you want to know all that... creepy stalkers. I was born October 4 1991 and I'm nineteens years old and I have spent my whole life... minus the last couple years living in Kailua Hawaii, its where I was born and its where my home will always been no matter where this band takes me. Uhhh lets see... I discovered that I love listening and playing music when I was around six or seven years old I was hanging out with my older brother and he took me into this music shop on the big island and the guy who owns the place let me listen to some records while my brother was busy ignoring me. A couple years later I got my first guitar and I've been playing ever since... Some of my other hobbies or interests if you must know are; surfing, singing, volcano climbing, four wheeling, dirt biking... pretty much anything thats outdoors or has to do with music I love.
My hair has pretty much always been short my whole life... Of course now that I'm traveling and going places that aren't sunny and hot all the time I've been growing it a little longer, but no longer then passed my ears I don't really like long hair... It's to hard to take care of and sometimes looks gross and messy I like the clean cut look obviously. Anyway I was born with black hair but recently I've been keeping it between a light and dark brown colour just for a change. As for my clothes? I don't freaking know they're just clothes alright? If you must know my 'style' then I guess its a mix between skater and surfer... I like wearing brands like Hurley, quicksilver, billabong, volcom, Vans, Dickies are you catching on? Tee shirts and jeans are perfectly fine for me... not the super baggy jeans though I'm more into the jeans that are skinny but not skin tight skinny thats just a little to tight for me. I like rings... my ears are stretched but they aren't huge ass mofos like some of the people around here... and thats pretty much it I guess.
I've been told all my life that sometimes I just need to calm down and quit being such a moody asshole... I admit that sometimes I can be the biggest prick in the world but sometimes I can't help it I just get really worked up really easily. The thing is I am calm most of the time, its just when people piss me off or annoy me I tend to get a little moody okay? its not a crime. Anyway I've always been the type of person who is down for anything fun, whether it be a party, hanging out in someones basement playing guitar, playing video games, going for walks, anything fun and adventurous I'm down for. You could say I'm a daredevil, I've never really been afraid of anything in my whole life so if you tell me to do something I'll do it, even if it's completely stupid and I know it is I'll still do it for shits and giggles. One side you won't see of me to often is my lovey dovey caring side, for an 'asshole' I do have a heart so don't be afraid if I show you affection sometimes. I do enjoy a good cuddle or make out session once in awhile and also if one of my friends is hurt in anyway they should know that they can come talk to me about it. Its not like I don't care... even if its some random kid who got punched out or injured I wouldn't just leave him there like an idiot. Anyway I just wanted to let you all know that I do care about my friends and family and I'm not a total dick... you just gotta stay in my good books.
You've probably guess by now that I'm Asian Korean to be exact but I'm not fully Korean. My mom was the one who was born and raised in Korea and immigrated to Hawaii when she was in her early teens. My dad however was raised in Scotland a pure scottish white guy who moved to Hawaii when he was around the age that I am now. Anyway before my parents met and before I came along into the world my dad had a kid with a different asian woman that kid is my older brother Brenden he's twenty-two so three years after he came along my parents were already married and were expecting me. I was born Octorber 4 in 1991 one in Kailua Hawaii a pretty damn great day if you ask me.
Growing up in Hawaii was pretty amazing. For one thing it was never freezing cold like it is in other parts of the United states you just had to be careful of the odd volcano erupting maybe an earth quake or two but thats pretty much it. For another thing I was never bored as a kid, there was always something for me to do. When I was only four years old I started playing soccer and a year later my dad and Brenden taught me how to surf.
As little kids and even these days before I left me and my friends would go cliff diving and volcano climbing, they aren't the safest activities for a group of boys to get into and we did get in serious trouble everytime, but who cares it was fun and pumped your body full of adrenaline. Not to mention the memories that were made doing those things
When I was eleven years old my parents were having another baby, the summer before my twelvth birthday my baby sister Kalia was born. She pretty much means the world to me ever since she was born I've been there for her as a play buddy, someone to read her stories and sneak cookies and candy with her before dinner time. Not to mention I was the one looking after he most of the time so I'm pretty much a second dad to the kid. During the time when Kalia was almost two years old my parents were fighting and just not getting along. When I was thirteen my mom pretty much just took off pretty much abandoning Kalia and I and never trying to contact us again. I hate her for that. Anyway my dad started working more I just stayed in school and took care of my sister when I had to. The rest of the time I was out doing my out thing and discovering music and parties like all fourteen years olds did.
Thats pretty much how it was for the last five years, My dad and brother and I worked out a system for taking care of little Kalia one where we could still be kids but still help out at the same time. My close friends and I started our own band and music and the beach life became everything to us. But just last year my mom decided to call me up and ask me if I wanted to get back in touch with her... I admit I was still mad at her... but I also missed her so I said why not? and I was on my way to Chicago. Thats where I met Lovelikepoetry and I've been their guitarist traveling the states with them ever since. I do miss my family back in Hawaii but Im not ready to give this up."
hey, so i'm Rexi. i've been roleplaying for 4 years now. as well as this character, i also play nobody else. you can reach me by pm or email is fine if you need me for anything. i found made up stories by steshka and i'm pretty glad i did. here's an example of mah skillz. (:Park being the fair skinned boy that he is always took extra precaution when he knew he would be out in the sun all day or even for a shorter period of time. He learned from an early age that in order for him to have fun when he was playing with his friends outside or when his family went to the beach for the day, he would have to have sunscreen on. His skin was was light and fair and even after being out in the sun for an hour he would start to turn red and could feel it starting to irritate him. The last time he didn't wear enough sunscreen was when he was around eight or nine years old, his family went to the beach for the day, his mom told him to make sure he had enough on him and put more on just to make sure, but it ended up wearing off in the water like most sunblocks did and instead of thinking and running back to his parents to put more on he continued being an eight year old kid and went off to the playground with his friends. Lets just say he ended up getting the worst sunburn of his life and had to even stay in bed for a couple days because it hurt so bad to move. After that one time Park has never forgotten to wear sunscreen.
He sat down Indian style after making sure his towel was at least somewhat perfect, at the beach no matter how hard a person tried it was pretty much impossible to keep a towel perfectly straight and free of any sand. "Today was good up until I dropped Rainan off" he said shaking his head "I hate seeing that girl but I have to... and I have to be nice to her because I don't want Rainan seeing that I don't like her" he said looking down for a moment. It was pretty clear that talking about his feelings wasn't one of Park's favorite things to do and the worst part about that was that he was a terrible liar and terrible at hiding his feelings so he had no choice but to talk about them when somebody asked. "Other then that it was good... Rainan woke me up this morning with his babble and we had a nice breakfast" he said his smile instantly coming back thinking about his son.
He grabbed the bottle of sunscreen and shook it up before squirting some into his hands and rubbing it into his arms and chest "... why wouldn't I come? If you're at the beach all by yourself I wanna be here with you... unless you don't want me to be here and you want to be all alone here on the beach." he teased letting his smile fade a little just to scare her. He liked that he could say something so small and meaningless to someone else or just as a joke and Erika would start to worry and freak out a little bit. It made him smile even though now he would have to start calming her down. He sat there for a moment waiting for her reaction, debating whether he should take the joke even farther and get up and walk away. If she didn't stop him then he would look like an idiot coming back to her with a goofy smile on his face, but if she did stop him he could just kiss her and continue on with this lovely day at the beach. And hopefully not get burned.
