Hobbies:
Photography - With his sister doing Modeling every now and then, Landry wanted to find a way to help and support her. While he wasn't the most creative soul out there, he picked up a camera and did his best to learn as he went. Turns out, he did have a very good understanding of angles and lighting thanks to just how much his parents liked to explain to him. Shooting pictures of his sister for her career wasn't it, soon he began to take pictures of everything, and loves to go out into the world to snap pictures to add to his collection.
Cooking/Baking Competitions - After their parents died, someone needed to cook more than just frozen dinners and take out. Landry always did adore cooking shows, so he went a little further and tried to recreate what he saw. Now, it didn't come out so successful a lot of the time, but he slowly but surely got better, to the point where he actually found his dishes becoming popular on Instagram after he posted photos of them. He takes pride in his food, and loves to show it off and cook for others. With some encouragement from Lori, he's entered, and won several online recipe contests, and is hoping to become famous from them.
Mystery Games - From Nancy Drew to Professor Layton, Landry simply adores mystery games. He loves puzzles and riddles and tries to get his hands on all the ones he can to try to beat. He's found himself loving to go to escape rooms all on his own and getting paired up with strangers so he can show off just how smart he is. Until he starts to argue over being right.
Virtues: Fake Confidence - Fake it til you make it is Landry's life motto. No matter how insecure he feels at any certain point, he strives to give the air of either not caring or knowing that he's making the right choice. Don't let them see you sweat, is what he says, and from what he's experienced, people seem to take well to it. After all, knowing that someone else isn't afraid in a stressful situation brings comfort, or something like that.
Protective - Surprisingly, Landry has a protective streak. He's quick to make sure those he trusts and cares struggles as little as possible. He's more than willing to take the hard way if it means that someone else he cares about can have it easier. Defending them comes easy as well, whether it's physically or verbally, and has an almost lawyer-like tendency to prove things for the better for that person if things seem rough, even if it means shifting the blame to someone else for things that may or may not have gone wrong.
Patient - When Landy actually sets his mind on doing something, he takes his time to do it well. You can't rush perfection with his own, personal projects or teaching someone a skill. If he enjoys you as a person, he's more than willing to take it slow and teach all that he knows. Also, if it doesn't seem like you're treading on what feels like his territory and his friends, then he's willing to slowly but surely get to know you.
Spontaneous - Thanks to his sister who has often dragged him all over the place, Landy has found himself doing the same thing. He's not afraid to step outside of his comfort zone when it comes to things he does alone, and is more than ready to go out and try new things without contemplating them further. A sudden impulse to go out and do something will hit and he won't hesitate, he just goes out and does it, happily bringing along those willing for fun, new experiences.
Flaws: Cruel - Landry takes a great delight in seeing people suffer if he doesn't care for them. When situations get rough, or when people he can't stand start to rant about how hard their life is, he loves to rub it in how better his life is. "Oh, you're job sucks? Well, maybe you shouldn't have made bad life choices. I mean I went through s**t and I'm just fine. Suck it up cup cake." He loves to see the struggles those hated people go through and gossips about it as much as he can, spreading rumors about just how sucky that hated person really is. That being said, he tries not to lie too often about it. If he's going to make you feel like s**t, he's going to use the truth to do it. And yes, he will go out of his way to do it too.
Unpredictable- There's never any real rhyme or reason as to what Landry does. His actions are motivated purely by what he wants at the time, yet there is no pattern to it. Someone would think he's a sweet, kind young man, but in the next moment, he is pushing them under the bus to save his own hide. It extends to his workflow as well. One moment he would be the best student, the next, he just doesn't care. He's certainly unreliable to work with, unless that person he's working with is his sister.
Worry-wart - Despite his rather cool and calculating attitude, Landry worries a lot over things. What if he's wrong? What if Lori gets hurt? What if there's not enough money for food today? What if this job goes horribly and he don't get paid? He's constantly worrying for himself and his sister, and isn't above doing whatever it takes to make sure they are safe and live comfortably. Beyond himself and Lori, he worries about the people he has to work with. Not because he particularly cares about them, but because he hates the thought that he has to rely on anyone except himself.
Unwelcoming - There's a small number of people that Landry trusts, and to him, those people have no need for anyone else in their lives. When someone new is introduced to his group, he immediately gives them the cold shoulder and tries to make sure that whoever they are trying to interact with has some reason to ignore them until they give up. That being said, when he's alone and meeting someone know, he's significantly less a jerk.
