Name: Landon Greene Age: 37 Sexuality: Heterosexual Gender: Male Portrayed By: Ryan Gosling Availability: Closed
“I don’t know much about the girl, but no child deserves to have their life taken from them and no family deserves to have their child taken from them.”
Landon Greene was the pride and joy of Baberton at one time. A top student, star athlete, volunteer worker, and all around good citizen all throughout his high school days. Of course, he did party it up like all teenagers do, but he was never one to do anything too stupid or get himself in trouble. Everyone expected him to end up becoming a doctor or a lawyer or something, but he ended up following the ambition he had been harboring since he was a child: to be a soldier just like his grandfather.
When Landon was a kid, he would spend hours sitting with his grandfather in his den, reliving his stories of his days spent fighting in World War II. Though of course, he didn’t teach Landon that war was a grand and glorious adventure. No, he told Landon all about how horrific it was, but that it still had to be done because it was right to go and free people from oppression. Ever since then, all Landon ever wanted to do was take up that noble cause.
Landon joined up with the armed forces right out of high school. Two year later, he was deployed to Afghanistan. He spent the next eight years mostly away from home, sometimes on base and sometimes right in the thick of everything there. Of course, he did have a few leaves here and there, but he always returned to the field eventually. He would write home, telling his family not to worry because he was doing what he wanted to do and he was being as careful as a soldier possibly could be. Above all, he never forgot what his grandfather told him about always telling people he loved them, just in case he never got another chance.
Then one day, around about the time of Annie Pierce’s disappearance, Landon suddenly returned home. He just said that he was on leave and would be staying home for a while. No one asked many questions, but it was obvious to everyone that Landon wasn’t the same as the golden boy that had left town 10 years ago. For reasons only he knew, he was a changed man.
Annie was only a small child still when Landon left home. He didn’t know her well, but he knew her family. Everyone in this town tended to know everyone on their street or in the neighbouring ones after all. And from what he did know of her, she wasn’t truly a horrible kid. But that was when she was still a more or less innocent eight year old, just a bit younger than his own little brother, Dylan. Upon returning and finding out she had disappeared, Landon was curious, but didn’t think much of it. Two years later when her body was found, he was shocked. Who would have killed an innocent teenager? He wants to see the person found and brought to justice and is willing to help out the cops in anyway. After all, isn’t that why he joined the army? To defend, avenge, and protect the innocent?
Otherwise, Landon seems to be leading a normal life back in Baberton. He’s living in his family home once again, something his brother seems to find amusing, and trying to catch up with the folks in town. The fact that he is acting so normally has some people a bit curious though. Landon has been on leave before, but they’ve never lasted this long and he’s never acted like he would be home with any degree of permanency. He never showed an interesting in staying indefinitely either. What happened while he was away to change him so much?
While he was in Afghanistan, Landon witnessed one of the guys he’d been stationed with and become good friends with get shot in the back of the neck. His friend ended up dying in Landon’s arms. No matter how hard he tries, Landon can never shake that memory. This was a trigger that lead to Landon developing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and was the major reason was he was put on leave.
Landon is afraid to have to go back into the field. He doesn’t want to witness anymore death like that. He knows that eventually, they will call him back. But until then, Landon is willing to do just about anything to prolong that event as much as possible, even if it means avoiding his treatment so that he is still deemed not fit for service.
Is still in love with his high school girlfriend Michelle Allen. He broke up with her in a letter when he went off to fight because he wanted to set her free, let her move on, in case something happened to him. He didn’t want her to sit at home and wait for him. Since he’s been back he’s tried to see her many times but she always evades him. He understands, of course, but he’s like a chance to clear the air.
