Name: Lawrence ShirleyNicknames: Shirley
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Faction: Monster
Race: Kraken
Natural Ability:
Strong Like Squid: Built for squeezing ships and sailors, Shirley's two main arms are quite a bit stronger than average. It's a good thing he mostly uses them to hug. Aw.
Personality:
shy
Even when Shirley has quite a lot to say, he probably won't. He feels far more comfortable staying out of the spotlight and will do so even when he should be standing up for himself. [this is still U/C yay]
Job/Business: He is the owner and operator of Shirley's Eye Scream Emporium, a boutique eye scream parlor that has slowly gained a following, mostly among DETHheads and progressive demon youth.
Personal History: Born to two loving parents, Lorraine, an undead whale monster, and Howard Shirley: Kraken Detective, Shirley was raised in a perfectly normal, perfectly boring family. Until two summers ago, he still lived in his parents' attic. His father is a private investigator who, while not terribly well known, is respected by those who have heard of him. His mother does the occasional bit of graphic design work for friends of friends, but mostly just volunteers a lot. Howard wanted his son to come and work for him, but Lawrence didn't have much of an aptitude for sneaking and preferred to sit at home and daydream. His parents were perfectly supportive and didn't mind his slow crawl to adulthood, but sometimes, usually after he lost yet another dead-end job or another ghoul dumped him for someone more exciting, the young kraken wished for something more.
After he graduated from the Barnacle School for Boils, Shirley continued doing nothing with himself, at least until one day, when he went out for some Slendy's and met a leprechaun named Skibbit. Through a series of random events largely propelled forward by Shirley's boredom, he found himself marked by Skibbit's friend, Chipperoo the kobold. In exchange for a shiny new apartment and some "friends," Shirley is now obligated to run Shirley's Eye Scream Emporium as if it was his own, which it... kind of is at this point. Chipperoo, Skibbit and their third friend, Gherm, are perfectly happy allowing Shirley to do whatever he likes with their former business, as long as he supplies them with eye scream any time they want. It's a mutually beneficial relationship that everyone is happy with, and it will likely go on well into the foreseeable future.
