BACKGROUND:
TW: VIOLENCE, SCHIZOPHRENIA, GHOSTS
Born to Ethan James and Haley Hughes, and has an older brother.
Is Axel's baby cousin.
Dad was a truck driver, and mom owned a paranormal shop called 'The Unknown'.
His mother would cause that she could hear voices and see things that weren't there. She believed in the paranormal, but as years went on, something darker seemed to be at play. Doctors would diagnose her with Schizophrenia.
When his dad was away on business, at the age of 4, Haley would try to drown LT in the bathtub; claiming that he was possessed. His older brother would be the one to help save him, before locking themselves in a room and waiting for the cops.
His mom would be placed in a mental institution; where she'd have her meds regulated and she seemed to be getting better.
But after she attacks a nurse and nearly kills her; it was made clear that she would be safest to remind institutionalized.
As LT got older, he'd start to believe in some of the things his mother did. At 13, he saw his first ghost, 14 when he explored his first haunted house, 16 when he got his first proof, 19 when he reopened his mother's paranormal shop 'The Unknown', and 20 when he started his Youtube channel 'Exploring the Unknown'.
Despite gaining a following on his Youtube channel, LT would also bartend and do freelance photography on the side.
SOME HEADCANONS:
The family owed paranormal shop 'The Unknown' is mainly opened around August until November, to account for the Fall and Spooky season.
Has random tattoos shattered across his body. (Very much what Mason Gooding has done on his)
Is known to wear one earring, usually something that dangles.
Truly believes in ghosts and the paranormal. Some buy into that as well, others just think he's as crazy as his mom.
Still visits his mom from time to time.
Since his dad retired from truck driving, the 3 James boys can be found together often.
Is goofy, fun, life of the party, nerdy, laid back.
Runs a Youtube channel that shows his paranormal adventures.
Enjoys a good haunted house like no one's business.
Enjoys photography.
Loves video games, computer stuff, movie editing, online sells, coming up with new fun drinks.
