[/classy]
[classy=appdesc]Oh, hey Chicago! Look who's it is! It's Lanford Anson Whyte! Oh, uh... perhaps you know them by their nickname, Lane or Annie? Anyway, this certain blessing in disguise came to us on May 26, and grew up to be a hefty 6' 1". You can always tell it's Lane because of their dark brown hair, blue-green eyes and homemade tats. Not to mention they've gotten themselves thirteen tattoos and counting! You know, everyone says they look like Josh Beech? I personally don't see it though ....

[classy=app1][BABY WHAT'S YO FLAVA?]
tell me what's yo flava
the basics
Lanford is a senior. He's gone to AMG since freshman year. He's got good grades and is in honors classes. He's 17. He doesn't know what he's going to do with his life. what does the Annie have to say? (nothing)
where the whiskey's dry and the beer chases my blues away
the history
Lane (or Annie) was the only child born to his rich, older parents. Currently, his mother is 57 and his father is 59. His father is the CEO of a major factory, and they're pretty wealthy. His mother contributed to it back in her days as a semi-famous singer. She stopped singing a few years after Lane was born to spend more time with her family. Everything was pretty normal for the business-oriented family for a while. They went to all the right parties and functions, charmed all the right people, and brought their handsome son everywhere, to brag about him. They spent summers at Castles and Christmases in the Smokies. Slowly, however, Hector Whyte began to drift away from both his son and his wife as he fell more and more into his work. He put in more hours and went to more banquets and made more phone calls. Meanwhile, his mild-tempered, artistic wife stayed home and wrote while her son was in school. (He went to a very prestigious school that, luckily, was not a boarding school.) When he was home, Brenda spent her every waking moment trying to raise him up to be a fine man. She expressed interests in everything that intrigued him and taught him manners and to be kind, but also to be his own person. When Lane was twelve, his father was caught cheating on his mother with someone half his age. Brenda was heart broken, but she did not file for divorce; she couldn't do that to her son. Instead, she insisted on marriage counseling. Hectory stopped showing up to the meetings, and Lane began to think of his father as complete scum. He started acting out and rebelling against his father any way he could. Finally, three years later, Hector had had enough and sent his son to AMG to, "get your ass straightened out." Brenda missed her son dearly, and in the middle of his sophomore year, she filed for divorce and by the beginning of the next semester she had moved to a large house in Castles. Lane lives with her now. His father denied his right to shared custody. They haven't spoken in a year and a half. "I can't say I've had a bad life, but I do wish my dad wasn't such a dick, and maybe that I would have had siblings."
[WHEN THE STARS GO BLUE]
i'll follow you
the power
Lane can manipulate technology. Sort of. He can manipulate things like cars, trucks, four-wheelers, boats, ski-jets, and planes. Any sort of vehicle, he can make it tick. He can't make them do stuff like in transformers, but he can see how they work. Take them apart, put them back together again, and make the parts run without trying. He can't fix parts without doing it manually, though. When he was younger, he spent a lot of his time working on old cars with his dad. He just thought he had a knack for cars until he was in his dad's boat one day, and his mom pointed out, in a rather frightened voice, that he was driving the boat without touching the steering wheel. "I think my power is kind of useless, most of the time. It doesn't help me do anything but drive with my brain, and my dad has a car that does that on its own. But don't tell him I told you. That's a prototype no one but the rich people are supposed to know about or something."
[WHY DON'T YOU STAY?]
i'm down on my knees
the social skills
Annie doesn't talk much. He doesn't have very many friends, but he's very close to the ones that he does have. He likes to put his whole heart into everything, including relationships. He's very open with people once he gets to know them, and he's a sweet guy. He'll do anything for his friends, and he tries to protect them (from themselves and others) as best as he can. Most of the time, though, he won't be in the conversation. He'll just be listening. He can be really shy, dorky, and awkward on occasion. "I really like people. I'm just not good at talking to them, I guess. I try to be as nice as possible."
[WHAT KIND O' GONE]
are we talkin' bout here
the personality
Lane is a pretty quiet fella. He doesn't talk much. He'd rather observe everyone. He wasn't always like that, and sometimes, on a good day, you can see the old, carefree and wild side of him. He's very nice and level-headed. He's sarcastic, has a good heart, and likes to take care of people. He doesn't like insulting people, so if you ask him how you look you'll probably get a compliment or two. He's very mild-tempered, but he lacks common sense sometimes. Luckily, he isn't easily embarrassed. While he loves watching wild people be themselves, he prefers to sit on the sidelines. The most reckless behavior he takes part in is giving himself tattoos and driving his car on autopilot. He's pretty smart, and has maintained at least a 3.5 GPA since he started school. Partly because of the pressure put on him by his dad to get into a good school, and partly because he just likes to put everything he has into things. "I try to be nice to people. I like watching them. I don't want to be like my dad. He's very loud and in-your-face and from an early age I learned that it gets you what you want, but it also gets you a lot of enemies. So I've always been a lot more like my mom. Being an only child and very sheltered, though, and being dragged to all these meetings when I was still presentable, I like to surround myself with people who do crazy stuff, and who didn't have to stay behind the shell of a perfect son. I don't want to take part in any of it, though. I don't see a need for it. It would piss off my dad, sure, but it would also make my mother cry."
and i ain't afraid to show it
the hobbies/future
Annie spends most of his free time painting, sketching, or looking at tutorials online. He dabbles in photography and film, as well. He's also been known to dabble in sculpting, jewelry-making, and writing poems. When he graduates from AMG, he wants to be a tattoo artist and sell paintings on the side. Somewhere by a beach, with a lot of people and a small house so he doesn't have to talk all the time, and he can just observe the scenery and be part of everything. He wants his own studio and a decent graphics input computer. However, none of that will be possible if he caves and goes to the school that his dad wants him to. "The only thing I want out of life is to be able to draw, and to be able to do it without someone breathing down my neck about how I'm wasting all of my potential."
[AND SHE'S AN ACTRESS]
but she ain't got no need
the extras
Lane really hates the school. He's very rebellious towards it because his father made him go. It's one of the contributing factors to the resentment. "This school is a waste of my time. I mean, I'm really good at my power on my own. I don't need this. It's just a place to stick us because they're afraid we'll mess something up. I wouldn't be here if my dad hadn't forced me to come."
