LET THE WHOLE THING BLOW

B A S I C I N F O

★ NAME: Leonard von Himmelreich
★ NICKNAME: Leon, Leo
★ MEMBER GROUP: Gijinka
★ POKEMON: Persian
★ STATUS Illegal
★ AGE: Twenty
★ HEIGHT: 5’8”
★ WEIGHT: 167 lbs
★ FACE CLAIM: Fuwa Mahiro from Zetsuen no Tempest
★ APPEARANCE:

Just by looking at Leon, people can quickly assume he is a rebellious guy. Having average height and body-shape, his strong personality is showing right through the way he keeps and dresses himself too. His dirty blond hair is messy, layered and usually kept long enough to have a nice style and sometimes cover up his reddish brown eyes which gained that unnatural hue right after he got the DNA transfusion. He has some natural muscle on him gained through the street-fights he was often doing, but nothing overly buff or disturbing. He is more agile and flexible than actually strong. Without clothes on, occasional bruise marks or small, healed scars can be seen on his body. According to him, they are the remains of said fights…

Even with clothes, it’s obvious he doesn’t always make things simple. He usually wears a simple red button up or a T-shirt under a yellow and black colored jacket, which hood is lined with soft white fur. He likes to dress in layered clothing to make sure he is never cold. His jeans are almost always tucked in a pair of brown boots. Despite the time he spends outside, his clothes or he himself rarely seems to be actually dirty. People suspect that he cleans himself much like a cat does, which is unknown if actually true or not.

★ HABITS, QUIRKS:

• Purrs like a cat when he is content. Like then he is petted or complimented, a low growl-like buzz can be heard from him, which others associate with purring. When he sleeps, instead of snoring, he purrs too.
  
• He often forces himself on others when he doesn’t want to go home, and makes them take him home with themselves instead. To top it all, in a new place, he trashes the rooms while exploring, just because the new place excites him and he can’t sit down. As soon as he looked around and memorized a few things about the place, he settles at the most comfortable spot.
  
• Because he rarely got it as a child, he craves human warmth and often enough leans against and snuggles up to others – same as a cat does when it wants its owner to pet it. He is quite affectionate and actually a touchy-feely person, so he is quite much into body contact, invading personal space as much as he can.
  
• He dislikes rain. On rainy days, he would rather curl up in a warm bed or in front of a fire and nap. On the other hand, he likes the rumbling sound of thunder.
  
• He is a really clean person. Even though he doesn’t shower more than any other, he rarely got any spot of dirt on him, even after being out all day. Some people suspect that he is cleaning himself like a cat, but no one actually saw him do it and he won’t share that information either.
  
• He dislikes dogs, so whenever he meets one, he will hiss and growl at it.
  

★ OVERALL PERSONALITY:

As a person, Leon is a bit too much to handle sometimes. He is more than a handful and equals two or three others. Because of his strong and forceful personality, he often enough scares others away, though he has his good qualities – though only a few.

If someone was brave enough to walk up to him and initiate a conversation, no matter the topic, they will gain a leech that they won’t be able to shake of for a day at least. A week, if they are unfortunate. He is really outgoing and social, so he can hold a good conversation, not to mention that he has a bit of wit in himself to always be able to reply without a “whatever” in the sentence. He is quick on the uptake, and can easily figure things out on his own without needing to rely on the opinion of others’ for it. He can read people rather well and will use that to his advantage if needed – usually to get what he wants.

As much of a social butterfly he is, he always has his own interest in front of anything else. He had learned that there is no other way to get what he wants than to always work for his own gain, so he is doing exactly that – he won’t share, and won’t do anything if he can’t gain a profit from it. It’s not really a nice trait, but that is how he managed to live his life. Maybe if he can consider someone important enough in his future, he might be able to drop this selfish side of his. If he likes something, he likes it very much, affectionately and passionately, and that goes for people too. God save the person he falls in love with.

He is much like a cat in many way. If he wants something, he goes and gets it. If others want something from him, he will clam up and chase them away unless he gains something from it as well. He won’t share things about himself, and hates to be asked about his past and family the most. One question can change his mood from best to worse and makes people wonder if he has some anger-issues going on. Like some rebellious teenager, he lives for the present and escapes from his problems into the pushy and energetic life he managed to shape outside of his own home. The reason he usually forces himself on others and makes them take him home – like a stray cat – is mainly because he never wants to go back to his own house where his parents are. He would much rather live on the streets and care for himself, though even he knows he has to show up from time to time, if only to run away again.

He learned to take care of himself, and as much as survival-instinct goes, he got that from the convenient Persian DNA as well. It’s another thing that he loves the excitement of a fight and taunts others into having a match with him just because it’s fun. Even if he gets beat up badly, he would go back to have a rematch and go at it again. He isn’t a sore looser, so the fact whether he wins or looses matters nearly nothing – he just wants to forget his problems by seeking either danger of human warmth. That is his way of running away and hiding from his problems, all the while getting stronger little by little.

H I S T O R Y

• Leon’s childhood was, to say the least, a bit unfortunate. He was born into a middle class family, but from an affair on the wife’s part. The couple was actually happy, and seemingly had no problem with each other, so the husband didn’t understand how his wife could have an interest in another man. The wife just wanted another lover. She was living a happy and satisfied life with her husband, but she missed the passion that a lover could give her. She started regretting to cheat on her husband though, after a while, since she was genuinely happy. That made her lover angry, and that is when the child was conceived…
  
• They decided to keep the child, but the couple was, of course, never the same as before. Leon’s birth happened without problems, and the couple was more or less happy again. That is, until the child started to grow and didn’t resemble his actual parents – he took after the lover the most, which made many of the couple’s problems resurface. At first, it was just a bit of neglect on the husband’s side, and much anxiety on the wife’s side. After a while, she was also unable to look at the boy with the same love as she did when he was a baby, and he didn’t understand any of the change – he was never told he was the son of another man. Of course he asked his parents, first his mother, but he didn’t get a straight answer. When he turned to the man he thought to be his father, he got the first hit from the man. Leon was around seven years old that time.
  
• The first was a shock for the child and the parents too, but many followed, and Leon had lost count of the times his father beat him. The man had turned to alcohol to ease his stress, and many times did he raise his hand against the boy in a drunken frenzy. That was how Leon learned the truth about his birth as well. That he was the sinful child of another man, and that it would have been much better for the husband and wife if they decided on abortion instead. Being rejected by the people he was raised, Leon felt incredibly alone in the world, heartbroken and without a place to truly consider home. His mother tried to protect him many times, but the husband didn’t want to hurt her. He decided to beat the boy when he was sure the wife couldn’t interfere. He drove off his stress on the boy who didn’t have the will to raise a hand against his “father”. Leon took it, and endured.
  
• To spend as little time at home as he could, Leon escaped to the streets, joining other youngsters in their adventures and fights to try and forget, even if for only a little time, what would await him at home. He seemed to be pretty good in fights, and he was really hard to bring down – due to the beatings, he gained an unwanted resilience and tolerance for pain, which ended up being useful on the streets. He was not grateful for it though.
  
• Nearing the age of sixteen, his days gained a certain pattern. School, studying, streets, fighting, home, beatings… He never fought back against his father and tried to hide his wounds from others in school as well. He started working part time as soon as he was accepted at a pokemon supply shop in the city and wanted to gain enough money for himself to finally move away. It was that time when the family’s second child was born… The real child of the couple. Leon felt indifference toward his little brother – he was glad he didn’t hate the baby at least – and thought that his father might cut him some slack after having a child from the woman he loved despite everything. He couldn’t have been more wrong. It had become a habit by that time, that his father would beat his stress into the boy. He still tried to endure, and didn’t tell anything to his mother especially after she was so happy having her baby be born.
  
• Leon was around eighteen, when he started to get fed up with everything. He spent most of his time on the street, and one day, they started talking about the DNA transfusion with the guys he was usually hanging out with. The possibility of the power he might gain from having the transfusion was more and more welcoming to the boy. He decided to spend a portion of his saved money on the DNA which he obtained on the black market, illegally, of course. The full change took three days, all the while he refused to go home. He was out for days before, so he was sure his parents wouldn’t suspect anything. His first thought was that he would be able to fight back against his father now that he was “superior”. As soon as the transfusion was done, he felt already stronger than a normal human, even though it was only a simple Persian DNA. He felt the power, and wanted nothing else than revenge anymore. He went home with the intention of killing his “father” and finally end it all.
  
• Back home, he was welcomed by a rare sight: his father playing with his two years old baby brother, his mother watching them. It was the picture of a perfectly happy family that drained him completely. He couldn’t kill, and couldn’t end it. His mother asked if he was all right, since he was out for three days, but he only replied with an “of course” before turning around and running away again. He felt empty. He wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do. He might have cried out in the rain that day. But the beatings didn’t stop.
  
• He was back into gathering money so he could finally move away to his own apartment, especially since a big portion went away for the transfusion – which, in the end, he wasn’t even sure why he got. After this though, he gained the habit of making others take him home like some stray cat, so he always had a place to stay and a reason not to go home. He didn’t want to see that “happy family” back home, which seemed so perfect without him around. After years, he got so used to staying at other people’s home that he wasn’t even sure if he should bother with buying his own apartment. He calmed down somewhat and never again showed his weak side to others, even though he still had to endure his father on the rare occasions he was home. This time around, he was the rebellious child that was leeching his parents and wasn’t good for anything, never home, always partying somewhere – as far as they know.
