because everyone likes to hate on L-block by saying he isn't a real character, I wrote a quick back story for our favorite block. enjoy:
L-block grew up on small blocking ranch just outside of Lincoln Nebraska. His wife is square-block(opposites do attract) and he has many kids which are lower case L blocks(l-blocks).
Things were going great until Papa L-block and Mama L-block got into a terrible blocking accident (It was a gory scene, blocks were everywhere and you couldn't identify Papa's blocks from Mama's blocks).
After that happened he went into a horrible depression, and gained about 4 blocks (to say the least he was fattt). He lost the blocking farm and his job as a big time block salesman.
All seemed lost until one day when he got hired at a dead-end job (Wendy's).He was working when Alexey Pajitnov (tetris creator) came in, spotted him, and asked him to try-out for his game. He decided to try out because he wanted a better life for his wife and the little l-blocks. He got the job beating out H-block and E-block and also talked Alexey into letting his kids be in the game. And the rest is history...
