Lavender
||Lavandula||
English lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, yields an essential oil with sweet overtones, and can be used in balms, salves, perfumes, cosmetics, and topical applications. Lavandin, Lavandula x intermedia (also known as French lavender), yields a similar essential oil, but with higher levels of terpenes including camphor, which add a sharper overtone to the fragrance. Spanish lavender, Lavandula stoechas is not used medicinally, but mainly for landscaping.
Essential oil of lavender has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It was used in hospitals during WWI to disinfect floors and walls. These extracts are also popularly used as fragrances for bath products.
An infusion of lavender is claimed to soothe and heal insect bites. Bunches of lavender are also said to repel insects. If applied to the temples, lavender oil is said to soothe headaches. Lavender is frequently used as an aid to sleep and relaxation: Seeds and flowers of the plant are added to pillows, and an infusion of three flowerheads added to a cup of boiling water are recommended as a soothing and relaxing bedtime drink. Lavender oil (or extract of Lavender) is claimed to heal acne when used diluted 1:10 with water, rosewater, or witch hazel; it is also used in the treatment of skin burns and inflammatory conditions (it is a traditional treatment for these in Iran and nearby regions).

Louis
||The Lighter||
|name| Louis Gregory Thorman
|age| 57
|gender| Male
|height| 180cm (while standing)
|weight| 62kg (without wheelchair)

|eyes| Dark, narrow, hazel eyes, which are rarely seen without a dark shadow around them. Lack of sleep, or other circumstances usually contribute to this.
|hair| Long, generally oily, black hair. Louis is mildly proud that he hasn't starting losing his hair, however it's whispered around that he's been dying it since his late thirties.
|skin| That nasty 'lacking sunlight' color.
|other| Despite being a crude looking, black-wearing, skinny old man, he seems generally likable and friendly once spoken to. He has been paralyzed from the waist down since he was 18, and is rarely seen without his wheelchair.

|likes| Peace and quiet, rainy days, being admired, good food, polite people. Generally all around lame things. He also likes wearing black, and his entire wardrobe seems to consist of it.
|dislikes| Inconsiderate people, rushing, pointless noise, seafood (which he classes as "bad food") and the usual 'old person' stuff.

Luka
||The Lightee||
|name| Luka
|age| Child (between 8 and 12)
|gender| Male
|birthday| 13th June '10

|height| I'd put him around three and a half foot, maybe a little over that? He's certainly not tall, by any means.
|weight| Normal weight for a child. We haven't been able to properly weigh him yet, but...it's normal.

|scent| Lavender
|something special| N/A

|eyes| Deep, twinkling purple.
|hair| Short, soft, colored identically to the oil he came from, but with a small streak of white. It falls around his face in a very shapely manner, framing it nicely.
|skin| Fair, rosy-cheeked, unblemished and seemingly very well taken care of at all times.
|other| N/A

|???| ???

Peter
||The Adopted Daughter||
|name| Peter Agnus Mariland-Thorman
|age| 19
|gender| Female

|appearance| A little shorter then average, big breasted, slender with wide hips and beautiful wavy blonde hair. Everything to make her adoptive father panic over every sideways glance she might get.
|personality| Although she is very beautiful, Peter tends to be withdrawn, quiet and unnecessarily shy. She also comes across as very air-headed and silly, with odd mannerisms and ways of thinking, but is actually quite smart. She has the ability to sit and do nothing for hours on end, and seems to get along the best with people three or four times her age.

|likes| Singing when no one's listening, being on her own, being around much older people, making paper chains that never end, sitting on the floor instead of the couch, watching TV upside-down
|dislikes| Crowds, being caught singing, the smell of rice cooking, mean people, and seeing Louis upset

|relation to Louis| When Louis was first shifted from intensive care to the Institute, one of the carers was already heavily pregnant. She gave birth in Louis' room, and died soon afterwards. Louis took the baby in and raised her as his own. She was named Peter by the residents, who all constantly mistook her for a boy as a child. The name seemed to stick.

Levi
||The Childhood Friend||
|name| Levi Durst Freeman
|age| 51
|gender| Male

|appearance| Very short compared to most people, though physically built like a magazine model. He seems very young for his age, with a spotless fair complexion and a healthy mess of thick black hair. His eyes are deep green, and he considers them his best trait. Levi is a tattooed, leather-and-boots-wearing type, and can be quite frightening to look at.
|personality| Once you get over the shock of his striking appearance (and age) you're likely to be hit in the face with his up-close and personal way, tactless sense of humor and loud, proud attitude. He comes across as a little cocky, but is actually covering for a great big inferiority complex ('little man' syndrome, Louis says) and a huge hole in his self-esteem. Painfully honest and extremely loyal.

|likes| Making people laugh out of sheer embarrassment, being the center of attention, hanging out with friends, being a good father, being described as likable
|dislikes| Being reminded of his height, being reminded of his age, rude people, shallow people, narrow-minded people, and 'the bloody government'

|relation to Louis| Levi and Louis were close friends as children, in school, though when Louis left suddenly, without any explanation or goodbye, Levi assumed he had been shot and killed, as they lived in a rather terrible area, and they went without any knowledge of one another for just over 30 years. Levi was extremely startled when he spotted Louis in a shopping center, and the two have been in contact constantly since then.

Taylor
||The Friend's Wife||
|name| Taylor Daniel Freeman
|age| 38
|gender| Female

|appearance| Tall and slender, very straight up and down in all aspects. Small breasted, small bottomed, narrow hips and tiny, thin hands and feet. To make things worse, she wears very tight fitting clothes and dainty shoes. As seems to be the common theme, Taylor also has black hair, though it is (like everything else on her) dead straight. She keeps it just above shoulder length, and usually ties it back into a ponytail.
|personality| Very sweet, caring and soft-spoken, Taylor is like Levi's parallel. Though she is much younger then Levi (a case of some controversy among some uptight older friends) she seems to be the more quiet and mature of the two, often compared to a doting old nanna, even taking naps during the day sometimes.

|likes| Reading, romance movies, cooking, picking lint off Levi's clothes while he's wearing them, daytime television
|dislikes| Bad moods, swearing, a messy house, burning a good meal

|relation to Louis| The two first met when Levi and Louis ran into one another at the shopping center. They get along well, and spend their time doing boring old people stuff.

Josh
||The Friend's Son||
|name| Joshua Freeman
|age| 18
|gender| Male

|appearance| Almost identical to his father, the two are sometimes mistaken for brothers. His dress sense is quite different, however, as he prefers to wear simple old clothes, suited more for a camping trip then daily wear. He keeps his hair long; it hangs in his face messily, and he doesn't seem to mind.
|personality| Josh is a very laid back, easy-going, outdoorsy type of guy. He would much rather walk or ride a bike then drive a car, and spends his time among nature as often as possible. He never seems to get angry, and is always the first person to offer his help to friend and stranger alike.

|likes| Undeveloped land, the smell of the countryside, peace in every sense of the word
|dislikes| Rushing, crowds, cities, hatred and war

|relation to Louis| The two don't see eachother very often. Josh is Levi's second eldest son, to one of his ex wives.

Unlit
|1st May-29th July| This stupid thing cost me the last of my allowance money. Peter really seemed to like it, however, and we just couldn't have left without it.

Lit
|29th July-13th June| After rushing home to light it, this happened. I wish I could light a different oil burner to take comparison, since I have no idea whether or not this is normal. I'm sure it's not...

Child
|13th June-???| I...I still feel a little faint. This child claims I'm it's father...t-told me it came from the oil... I'm having a lot of trouble, here. I think we might have to go back and confront the people who sold the oil to us, maybe this is s-some sort of trick.
