Leon England

The Tower

November 1st, Scorpio

175cm and filled out, with strong arms and a narrow waist. Leon has white skin and a mop of blonde hair that's usually covered by a hat, headphones, or goggles. Faint freckles dot his face, neck, and arms, along with various cuts, scrapes, and bandages. He has little scars all over his hands and forearms - his legs and feet too. In many spots on his body really, not that those would be obvious. He pretty much always wears the blazer of his uniform unbuttoned, with a hoodie or jacket worn under or over it. Though he only wears a thin chain for jewelry now, there are many holes in his ears where piercings used to be along with a tear in the right lobe. Seems his nostrils and tongue may have been pierced at one time as well.

A trouble magnet. Bad luck. A weirdo. A whirlpool.

A scholarship student who got into the academy due to his background in robotics. He spends almost all of his free time working on personal projects, so catching him outside of class or the cafeteria is uncommon. He is a passionate person capable of intense focus and often times he'll ignore all else while he is elbow deep in his work, including other people. He is an introvert by nature, but not a loner - by choice anyway. He likes people but he doesn't go out of his way to reach out to them, for a couple of reasons. He comes off as awkward or rude since it's hard to carry a conversation that goes nowhere, and he is headstrong and not one for mincing words which has made his first impressions all the more rough.

Although the main reason he doesn't seem to keep many friends is because something always seems to go wrong around him sooner or later. It's not a rumor, it's a fact; and uncanny enough that it might be more than just Leon's clumsiness. Even this early on in the year at Harbour Academy it's known: bad luck and bad news alike find their way to him and the people around him. Anything that gets too close gets sucked in and dashed to pieces.

Prior to arriving in Britain, Leon lived in the United States where he was born and raised. He was the only child of two well off parents, so growing up he had everything a kid could need. In his early childhood he was even a bit smothered, given his family's concern over a condition he was born with: numbness and the absence of pain in his extremities, making him into an accident prone kid. Despite that, life was pretty good for the England family early on.

Things began to get rough as Leon got older. He'd never grown out of his clumsiness and at this point never would, in fact a bad luck streak seemed to stick with Leon and he'd come home with more injuries than ever the older he got. Not all of it was due to accidents - you see when your family is as well off as Leon's was, other kids try to suck up to you. When it doesn't work and they find out you're kind of a nerd, they get harsh with you. And when you push back, that's when they get downright cruel. Not one to back down, Leon ended up fighting a lot. It was distressing for his parents to say the least, though for Leon it was something he'd gotten used to.

As for his school life, it was touch and go for a couple of years. His family moved a few times, and things would go well for a while before they went right back to how they were before. Leon couldn't seem to keep trouble away from him. One of the only things that kept him going in school was working on machines. It was a hobby he'd taken interest in years ago, and it had remained his passion ever since. There was a certain catharsis to building something from scratch and knowing exactly how it worked. To taking something apart piece by piece and deciding if it should be put back together again. He enjoyed tinkering with all kinds of machines in that way, but robots were his favorite. To that end he always joined every robotics club he found. He was pretty good at it.

Junior high was a tipping point. It was when his whirlpool of bad luck started spreading. Things broke around him, people got hurt, and even his class hamster died when it was his turn to watch it. In reality, it was coincidence. To Leon, it was a self-fulfilling prophecy - and to other kids? It was creepy. When they inevitably started coming after him, things devolved into more than just fighting. It was shocking what people could do to someone when they thought that they couldn't feel it. These things Leon never told his parents, claiming he'd just had another accident.

It was obvious his parents were becoming exasperated with everything that was going on with him, and to them by extension. Instead of confiding in them and putting more on their plate, Leon tried to relieve their worries by redoubling his efforts at school. He got good grades, he won robotics competitions, things seemed to be working out even if the "accidents" were getting worse. As soon as his parents brought up changing schools again, Leon handed them an acceptance letter to Harbour Academy. He'd been applying to international schools behind their back, as they never would have considered it under normal circumstances. They still didn't like the idea of letting their son go so far away, but eventually they relented. A fresh start would be good for him, whether it was abroad or not.

Ranged DPS with the Electricity element. Lasers, beams, blasts, etc. Can skate over water. Capable of ramming or kicking in a pinch. Will revise properly if accepted.

A gun that looks like it was pulled straight out of a sci-fi anime. Not exactly a flintlock fit for a seafarer, but a reliable weapon all the same.
