Leon White


Nickname(s): None. It's Leon or nothing.


Birthday: 18th April


Age: 16


Occupation: Student, works part time at a record store.


Parents: His mother, Vina, and father, Henry, have been happily married for 20 years. God forbid she ever finds out that he's been banging the maid behind her back.

Dislikes: His father, feeling alone, people he loves getting hurt, beeing provoked/challenged


Strengths: Leon has a big heart. He tries to do his best to help the people closest to him and will defend them to his grave. However sometimes this can lead to him keeping secrets and spinning lies to 'protect' people. He's also quite charming when he wants to be and absolutely smashes everybody at video games.


Weaknesses: Leon is sensitive and bottles up all of his feelings. This results in him getting angry easily and hurting the people around him. From the outside he seems cold, and he likes to pretend he is, often making him unapproachable. He is also quick to judge and can't see things from any perspective but his own.


Character Background: Leon was born a second child to a happy, well off couple. He got along well with his older sister, did well in school, he made best friends with a boy from his class and had a perfect, normal life. Then, he slowly watched as his family began to fall apart. Unbeknownst to his mother, Leon's father started fucking the maid, his sister developed a drug problem and his mother bit her tongue as Leon's grades dropped to below average. Knowing that their mother finding out about their father's affair would kill her Ivy and Leon never told her. Ivy left home as soon as she turned 16, blackmailing her father with the affair to sign a lease for an apartment, and the same year Tiger was born. The only thing that remained whole in Leon's life was his friendship with Akira, the boy from school. The affair continued and Leon learned to pretend everything was fine. Three years later Leon's mother decided to move towns believing it would better Leon's education. Not wanting to be separated from the only thing Leon was afraid to lose he begged Akira's family to move along with them and for some reason they complied. Now that the two are facing a new school, and a new life, Leon is determined to start all over again. But will it really be that simple?

Strengths: Akira is very good at telling how others are feeling and dealing with their issues accordingly, he's someone that seems trustworthy, he'd never give away someone else's secret unless he believed that it was going to kill them. He cares deeply about his friends and so he's not afraid to tell them that they're wrong or stop them from doing things, though sometimes he can't do that...


Weaknesses: Akira can be an indecisive person, not always the best at making some simple decisions and so putting them onto others, it's something he has to work on. At times he's also rather naive and seemingly innocent, this has led to people easily being able to trick or manipulate him due to his kind nature, getting him in situations that don't benefit him in any way.





Character background: Akira grew up in a rather rowdy and loud household, he was the youngest of four so as you can imagine he was pushed around a lot by his older siblings, of course this was just playing. Sometimes they'd get into arguments, but not very often, well at least not with Akira, he was a rather quiet child and didn't really enjoy conflict with anyone. His sister Liani was the eldest of the four, she didn't really have much interest in her younger brothers, being four years older than the second oldest, Koji, she always thought that she was much more mature than them and knew much more so she didn't bother to argue with them. The two that argued the most in the household had to be Hiro and Koji, the two boys were born just under a year apart and so they liked all the same things at the same time... They'd argue about everything, as long as there was something to fight about they would, however they loved each other really. Their household wasn't a bad one, they were all happy, when the children weren't arguing, loving mother, loving father, the family had more than enough money to survive.


The only problem Akira had was school, he got bullied a lot, since he was quiet and seemed to stay away from conflict people thought it was funny to draw him into it. They didn't give the boy a break, constantly calling him names, kicking him or punching him, taking his lunch, they found it hilarious. The boy didn't really think he'd make any friends, but then he met Leon, for some reason Leon didn't bully him like the other children did and so almost immediately Akira stuck to him. He was very persistent about being friends, he wanted to keep Leon around as long as he could, they were good friends.


When Akira came home from school one day he saw that his family looked rather...depressed, he didn't understand why until he realised that one of them was missing... Hiro... Almost instantly he was asking what had happened to his brother, he was told rather harshly by Koji to shut up, he seemed really angry. Though his mother explained the situation, Hiro had been attacked by a gang walking back from school, he'd hit his head and been put in a coma...and he wasn't expected to wake back up again... Of course this destroyed Akira, but for his family's sake he tried to look on the bright side of things, he'd always tell them that Hiro would wake back up... That one day he'd come back to them... They seemed to appreciate his positivity, but none of them could view it like he could, the only one who just didn't want to see his face around was Koji, the boy was especially upset by what was happening. Just a few weeks later Hiro died, his life support was turned off...and they let him die. For all of this time Akira had been watching his family break into pieces, Hiro had only been seventeen...and he was dead...


Not long after Hiro's death Liani announced that she was getting married and moving out, everyone in the family was invited and of course they went to the wedding, it was one day where his family were actually happy. Everyone seemed so...depressed after Hiro's death, they just couldn't get over it, it was even bringing Akira down a lot, but he was trying to stay strong for everyone else. Liani told the boy that he could come to stay with her and her husband whenever he liked, since they weren't going to be living that far away.


Koji didn't come out of his room for days, he didn't talk to anyone, he refused to attend school, he didn't do anything. Akira tried talking to him, but he just ignored the boy, one day when Akira was knocking on his door Koji came out of the room and just attacked his younger brother, telling his to piss off. He said he never wanted to see his face again, ever, and that if he kept doing that he'd rip his head from his body. Because of Koji Akira found himself staying at his sister's a lot of the time.


When he found our that Leon was moving he hadn't been happy at all, he didn't want the boy to leave him behind, he didn't want to lose someone else. Somehow Leon managed to convince his parents to move with his family, well, it was a team effort, plus they thought it would be good to get away from the town... Koji had become a rather violent person whilst here. Of course the only problem was that Akira couldn't stay at his sister's anymore, he'd actually have to stick around his brother... Still, it was a new start right? He'd never have to see any of the kids that picked on him again.
