Just a quick character blurb

Name: Leonard “Leo” (and for certain relatives Leon) Darren

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Appearance: 6’2”, dark skin, hazel eyes, gangly build

Personality: A quiet, meek man who is known for being a good listener and sensitive to other’s feelings. Often neglects his own needs/emotions to care for others. A very attentive father. Can be somewhat of a doormat, but will dig his heels in when needed, especially when it involves his kid.

Nice detail with the communicators being down. Is that a blackout imposed by the Others' forces?

I'm thinking so, but they're doing it at a time where most people aren't going to think about that being a possibility.

Marcus: "Why isn't my civilian brother answering the door at nearly 2 in the morning? Why isn't he less sensible?"

"Irritation with little brother"-mode has been activated. :p
