Here we go! This will be a character you've seen before Pyro, but I wanna give him another try. Also, yes, there have been changes to this CS since the last time I used him.

[hider=Leon Thorne][center][b]Name[/b]: Leon Thorne

[b]Race[/b]: Human

[b]Age[/b]: 31

[b]Gender[/b]: Male

[b]Appearance[/b]: Leon is a seasoned warrior whose body has been toned by years of training. Although he stands at an average 5’9 he is quite the force to be reckoned with. Leon has white skin, along with a mild tan acquired from his years of traveling. He has short black hair, kept to length so it doesn't fall into his face in the heat of battle and obscure his vision. He has piercing deep green eyes, likened to a forest by some. Leon’s appearance is not by any means immaculate- He is a wanderer and a fighter and a healthy layer of dirt covers him and his clothes.

[b]Faction[/b]: Freelancer

[b]Biography[/b]: Leon’s father was a famed soldier from Aeribis, known for his prowess in battle and his great strength. His mother was a healer of little fame, hailing from a small village located in Arlejj. Leon inherited his father's strength in battle, but did not carry on the spark of magic his mother had. Leon also had two brothers- one older and one younger. His older brother was always aloof and distant, and was always the strongest of the three brothers. His eldest brother stringently followed their father, paying little heed for his other brother's pain. Leon's younger brother had the gift of magic from their mother and never had a strong aptitude for the sword. Despite his son's varying strengths, their father treated them all the same- he was determined they would become soldiers, and would carry on the proud family name. It was to this end that their father put them through harsh training.

Their father was a tough taskmaster, and would make his sons always work better to become stronger and stronger, often pushing them to hard. They rarely had time for leisure, and rarely were able to escape their duties, and if they did try to shirk their training they were harshly punished. Leon’s eldest brother was always their father’s favorite, being the strongest of the family, and when it came time he did enlist in the army as his father wished. Their father also had high hopes for Leon himself, for he showed the same natural talent as the eldest of the brothers, however, Leon was not interested in the soldier’s life and often tried to escape training, often leading to him quarreling with their father. Leon’s youngest brother was the runt of the litter, and faced the brunt of their father’s anger. Although his brother did try he could never satisfy him. And that was when their father's dark side came out.

Leon was never quite sure how to feel about his father- at some points he did genuinely care for the boys, but sometimes he would take his anger too far when they couldn't meet his expectations. It was for this very reason that Leon killed his father. It was a cold winter morning some time after their eldest brother had left for war. Leon and the youngest were forced to train for hours, sparring against each other, training against dummies, and sparring with their father. Leon, of course, was doing just fine with the training, but his younger brother was another matter entirely. His younger brother fell behind, and couldn't keep up with his father's harsh demands. Their father was very angry with the brother, and decided to vent his anger physically. Leon's father beat on the boy. He didn't do it often, but when he did, it was painful. Leon was enraged, and only saw red. He wanted to protect his brother. So Leon raised his sword, and struck down his father.

Leon was 17 when this happened, and on that day he left his home village and never returned. The burden of taking a life weighed heavily on Leon. He wandered for a time through the land, and eventually he found a steady living using his skills with the sword to help those in need across Tenint. He was determined to make up for his crime by doing whatever he could to help people. He took what people offered him, but never asked for a reward. It wasn’t until a year after that he learned his mother and brother perished in an attack on their village. He was convinced if his father was still alive, he would of protected the family, and they would still be alive, and thus blames their deaths on himself. Leon continued to wander, and now with that the whole of Tenint is in danger, he has accepted the call to arms, joining the Freelancers.

[b]Skills[/b]: Leon is renowned for his skill with dual blades. Some find the use of two blades to be too cumbersome, but to Leon the fighting style comes easily. Leon is agile and uses a quick style that emphasizes using a combination of superior footwork, sword handling, and rapid precision strikes to wear down an enemy and target their weak points. Leon knows Tenint very well, having traveled through the land for many years. He's sure to know at least a few people in many of the towns and villages that dot the land. Leon is also very world-wise, and knows many things that pertain too surviving in the wilderness and general adventuring. It's worth noting that Leon isn't the most intelligent person- he's not dumb, but much of his upbringing was focused on learning combat. As such, he may not grasp some concepts as quickly as others, and his little knowledge of sciences, mathematics, or magic. It is also worth noting that despite this he has a good knowledge of history and local folklore, having been brought up with tales of ancient warriors and battles. 

[b]Equipment[/b]: Leon’s primary weapons are two steel swords that he wields simultaneously. In addition to this Leon is known to carry a knife strapped to his leg in case he is ever found without his signature swords. Additionally he has three throwing knifes strapped along his chest. He isn’t great at throwing the small knifes, but he can hit a target at short to medium range. Making more precision or longer ranged throws are difficult for him. Leon carries with him a backpack that hold several traveling supplies. Among these, he has a map that he himself made of the majority of Tenint. He keeps several herbal remedies for various common diseases and sicknesses that one encounters in the wilderness, and some that aid the healing of minor wounds. In addition his backpack contains a canteen and a small amount of preserved meat. He also has a sharpening stone to keep his two swords well maintained. Dangling from his belt is small coin purse, which you can hear the healthy jingle of a small amount of money if you listen.

[b]Other[/b]: Leon's exploits have earned him a healthy amount of renown in some parts of Tenint. Leon's eldest brother is an active soldier in the Aeribissian Military, who may at some point appear in the story.[/center][/hider]
