Personality:Léo is a boy known for his temper, he does not know why it is but people tend to immediately get under his skin. He has no problem working with others but that does not mean he has to like them, he is all about following orders and getting his work done. Léo tries to stay calm around other people and will work with almost anyone as long as they don't get in his way.
Léo is not a leader by any means but knows how to work in a pinch, and hates when someone over reacts about a situation. He hates that "someone" in general so its okay to assume that making friends is difficult for him, and the few people he can tolerate he holds close and looks after. One of the reasons its hard for him to get on with others is because of the isolationism that was instilled in him by his father. He was taught to survive and keep to himself and keep everyone at arms length. Even though now that he is older, and knows his father was full of it, he still has the tendency to become easily hostile and distance himself and Léo hates himself for it.
Background :Léo Barker Hawkins, is the only boy in a house full of 4 girls and he was the youngest. He grew up in a relatively normal house, he was the youngest and a mamas boy, a father who was a police officer, followed politics and expected his son to play football and get a job, a mother who loved him to pieces and was always in the kitchen. Everything about his early childhood was fine and dandy but as he got older things got worse.
Léo started to not see the world in the glowing halo but was able to see the black ugliness of the world. His parents fought a lot more then they used too, every night in fact, and his sisters where not the strong women who he had known. As he got older things got darker and soon it was reviled that his mother was cheating on his father and all his sisters where not his fathers children. Soon after that discovery everything turned sour in the house hold and Léo's father taught him not to trust women and to hate his mother. He did all this and more, Léo distanced himself from his mom and sisters and stuck to himself.
When he became a teenager his parents finally decided to split and his mom took all of his sisters, when she asked Léo to come with he spit in her face and they only talk on holidays now. Léo and his father got even worse, his dad went on to drinking and went on to instilling in him that the world was out to get him and he had to protect himself at all cost. It was his dad who suggested the CCG Junior Academy to him and Léo felt that was the best way to get out of his situation was to go and try to change his setting.
It was by some recommendations within his fathers work that he got into the junior academy and it was here that Léo was able to develop some work ethic and structure in his life but he still kept his brooding and negative nature. Many of his instructors thought he would be a bad apple who could not play with others, but it was quiet the opposite. Léo worked to complete the missions and task, even though the other students did not like him and held equal contempt for them, he would set that aside and get the work done.
When graduation came around, Léo left the academy as a Rank 2 Investigator and for his determination and skills he was offered a position in the Quinx program. This was an opportunity he could not pass up and jumped at the chance to put even more space between himself and the reality of his family and life.
