The Republic of Lithuania

[Lithuania]

Toris Laurinaitis
-Lithuania-

"Alfred Put Me Down!"

Name: Toris Laurinaitis
Origin: Villinus, Lithuania
Gender: Male
Orientation: Gay
Religion: Eastern Orthodox
Birthday: February 16, 1235
Age: 19

Personality: Lithuania is a very shy person not tending to trust many, those that do gain his trust are very dear to him and his old fighting spirit comes back out to protect those dear to him. He was not shy and quiet until after he was taken into Imperial Russia by Russia, before he had a very bright personality and the spirit to rule the countries he controlled back in the fourteenth century. His strong willed nature was however taken from him and he became the quiet man he is today. He also has a stuttering problem.

The most common side to him is the quiet but caring worker that he is when he is around anyone other than Poland, Latvia, and Estonia. He jumps at shadows afraid of pain and suffering that could follow if he messes up on something. It is very common to see him shaking from fear as he is very close to crying in many cases. He will never cry in public though wanting to keep that last shred of pride that he has safe and under his control.

Another side that he rarely shows to anyone is his fighting spirit, with the power to protect those he has counted as precious he is a worthy opponent for any who may try to take him on in battle. These skills have been honed to perfection over the many years that he has been alive. The power that lies sleeping inside of him is just out of his reach until someone he loves is threatened. In which case it would be better to stand back and watch the show as the mouse turns into the wolf that he used to be.

The least common side that he has is his mothering side, this side only comes out after the attacker is gone and he will take care of those he cares about first before even thinking about his own wounds. He tends to hide this side when around Russia whom even through his suffering has somehow managed to make him care for the man who caused him so much torment. This side believes that everyone deserves another chance, and that there is good in every one.



Appearance: Lithuania has medium length chestnut brown hair styled to frame the face and just long enough to gather in a small ponytail at the base of his neck. His Eyes are a bright Emerald Green in shade turning darker of lighter depending on his mood. He has soft facial features that show his kind nature with very few harsh lines making up his face. He is around 5’ 4” and wears mainly his military uniform of a pair of khaki pants with a button down work shirt.

His form is littered with many scars but his back is almost like a painting of them. With several scars in different states of healing he does not show his back to anyone , his face my sometimes appear grimaced from the pain of the still healing scars that he tries to hide for fear that they are a show of weakness. His eyes will always tell the truth is you understand how to read him because while his cheerful mask is almost perfect any pain or sorrow that he feels is always shown in his eyes. His hands will twitch when he is nervous as well and his eye twitches when he is angry.


Relationships:(to be added to as time goes on)
America/Alfred: Toris is currently staying with Alfred and Danny. Lithuania thinks very highly of Alfred, and is very much infatuated with him. (Though infatuated might be a bit weak to describe his feelings) Alfred is one of the few he has let into his heart and trusts not to hurt him. Toris is very open with Alfred, tending to not hide behind the mask he uses when around others showing any pain he may be in or any emotional turmoil he may have in his eyes.

DC/Danny: Danny is Toris and Alfred's son and as such one of the closest people to Lithuania's heart. Toris is a worrier and tends to worry about Danny whenever he does not know where he is but what can you expect of a parent. He allows Danny to have his freedom though he is most likely to rush to his aid at even the slightest hurt. Being like a mother Wolf with her cubs Quick to fend off the attacker then taking care of his cub before himself.

Russia/Ivan: Russia absolutely terrifies Lithuania, but even with this being the case Toris cares for him in a “this is my terrifying cousin but he is still family so I care for him anyway,” way. When Russia is around Lithuania will not speak unless spoken to, and even then only in short simple sentences or in very nervous Lithuanian.

Belarus/Natalia: Lithuania used to have a crush on Belarus but these feelings have faded and disappeared through her treatment of him, changing to the opposite of what the once were from a crush to fear.

Roleplay Sample:

Lithuania shiver as he walked down the alleyway jumping a small sounds or any shadows that caught his eye. The atmosphere of the ally seemed far more oppressive than it usually was. The shadows seemed to close in around him but he continued on, reaching his house and quickly entering and slamming the door closed, sinking to a sitting position and leaning against the door. He reaches up to lock it before looking around his well lit house.

"Nėra nieko, kad gali mane čia, aš negali būti taip bijo. Kodėl pastaruosius ne palikti mane ramybėje! Kodėl ji turi mane šokinėja ne šešėliai! Aš esu saugus, buvo metų, nes buvau su Rusijos taisyklė Atrodo, kad jis įsiveržė į mano protą. " (There is nothing that can get me here, i should not be so afraid. Why can the past not leave me alone! Why does it have to have me jumping at shadows! I am safe it has been years since I was under Russian rule, it seems he has invaded my mind.)

Lithuania rose up from the door going into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Maybe that would take his mind away from the fears that seem to fill his mind these days. Getting out a knife as well as a few vegetable he laid them on the counter before getting out the meat as well as the basic needs to prepare bread. As he started preparing the ingredients he never noticed the small cut that formed on his hand as a battle broke out on his border with Russia. The pain slowly made itself know but not in enough time to save himself as there was a knocking on the door. Lithuania dropped the knife in his hand as he left the kitchen and walked to the front room not yet opening the door. He answered,

“W-who is it?”
