Personality: Usually very quiet, Leon has a very optimistic way of life. Having his father leave at a very early age, he suffers from emotional issues. Has very few friends, but very close to the ones he has. Desperately trying to become a fully fledged SeeD, his life has almost been consumed with it, finding very few chances to spend time with his friends. Can usually be found in the commons area reading a book or in the training arena practicing his target practice. He looks up to anyone that is a SeeD with utmost respect, especially the self acclaimed Squall Leonhart.

On the weekends he steals away from the Garden and his studies to visit his mother. Suffering from a heart virus he is very touchy about the subject and usually jumps to conclusions when she comes up. Even worse is the mentioning of his father which usually puts him into a very depressive mood. Excels in all of his classes and deemed a very classic nerd. Very analytic of every situation.

Derives alot of his battle tactics from reading past history reports from Squalls group. Having been abandoned by his father he also has low self esteem, but still trying to find "The One" woman for him.

History: Born in Balamb. At age 5 his father left for an unknown reason. His mother raised him and Leon started working as a grocery boy in the local market. Having studied SeeD, his aspirations soon came to and he determined that was the path for him. Utilizing the resources given to him he thought he could try to find his father. At age 10 he started working to become a SeeD and by age 16 was accepted to become a student at the Balamb Garden.

Soon after becoming a student, his mother was diagnosed with a could-be-fatal heart virus. She not letting him drop his schooling to take care of her, he spends the weekends taking care of what he can. Hoping to become a fully fledged SeeD to send his earning to his mother so she can see a specialist for her heart. At age 12, Leon had gotten himself into trouble with a local gang, that is when he discovered his abilities with firearms. Not fatally injury any, he still managed to walk away virtually unharmed. Because of this though, he has a very hard time with fighting and confrontation.

Besides his mother, Leon has an Uncle who lives in Deling City. During the summers as a child, he would go to visit him. His Uncle being more of an outlaw then a normal role model, he would take him to practice his shooting. The combat knife Leon carries is his uncles, therefore he does not go many places without it.



The Audition

Sample Post:

Waking up early one morning, Leon slowly crawled out of bed. Stumbling on his books he left on the floor, he slams his face up against the wall. He just knew it was going to be one of those days. Tidying up his books, and making his bed, Leon proceeds to dress in his usual black attire. Brushing his middle length black hair away from his eyes he adjusts his glasses before clasping his locket around his neck. He had had another dream about his father that night. He didn't realize the sweat that was pouring down his neck until he stepped into the sunlight. Was it really him? He just knew that he as still alive.

Closing his window and grabbing his knife, Leon looked at the time. Still two hours before his first class. He was sure Instructor Trepe was going to call on him today after the remark he made in yesterdays class. He liked Instructor Trepe. She was the only one that really saw him for what he was. Letting out a sigh, he packed his bags and went to the commons area. Today was unusually cloudy; it had rained that night. Finding his usual spot by a tree, Leon sat down and pulled out his book and began reading.

Suddenly like thunder piercing through the still night, a voice echoed over the loudspeaker. "Leon Thornwood, please report to Instructor Trepe's classroom, I repeat: Leon Thornwood, please report to Instructor Trepe's Classroom." He knew it. What he has said in yesterdays class had gotten him into trouble. He figured he would have been called to her sooner than now due to the storming out of her classroom, but he was glad it was now rather than when he was furious. Gathering his stuff together yet again, he set off to the elevator to meet with Instructor Trepe.
