Character

General

A Mercenary without a particular nation. This Miqo'te seems rather silent and eerily still. Taking various jobs has left him scarred physically, but he still finds himself enjoying the random mayhem of the front line, where he fights for himself. Tearing apart soldiers for his cruel sense of amusement, 'Leon' has taken up many aliases and appearances in order to protect himself, and terrorize his victims. Using a mixture of mixed martial arts and washed-out style chakra manipulation, Leon dances across the battlefield, sporting his bow, his sidearm, and two daggers. Although not a fan of grunt work, he often will perform missions for the Immortal Flames and Maelstrom to busy himself.

Appearance

Due to past injuries, Leon's skin is a canvas of scar tissue. This scarring ranges in injury type, be it blades, spears, knives, various projectiles, you will find it difficult to find many patches of unscathed skin. Though most of his face remains unscathed, (with the exception of lesser burn scar tissue) Leon could be considered an entire Burn Unit's worst nightmare.

With closer inspection, the oldest of burn wounds is the most apparent. This burn wound, known as his "Thorn Mail", is noticeable as a complete set of chain & plate mail that was effectively "fused" to his skin, and subsequently removed. The most noticeable "burn" symbols of which are the Immortal Flames scales on his left shoulder. On his chest is a disfigured, almost jagged angel with wings.

Leon has a very calm and learned stature due to years of experience and travel.

Personality

Leon is the type of person who will happily smile and be polite to someone who walks up to him, while immediately assuming the worst of them. He expects foul play, and will take everything that someone may say to him with a grain of salt. Due to this demeanor, he often pretends to not notice people when they walk by, or near him, as to avoid any unnecessary confrontation. This often makes him seem relatively timid, an act he happily plays upon. Though a ruthless fighter, he generally will not be the first to bare his teeth. He has a very good sense for what is right and wrong, and will often do whatever it takes to make sure he comes out on top, throwing a fight notwithstanding.

Combat

Leon was trained by an expert swordsman from the age of eight, and he taught himself how to wield a bow with expert precision, due to injuries. He was quickly picked up by a league of dark artists, who trained him in the ways of Ninjutsu, and shadow dancing. He excelled in his custom training, and came out with his many abilities, often which seem dark in nature.
