INFORMATION
Appearance: Leon is quite a sight to behold, standing at monstrous height of 6'7" and weighing between 190-200lbs almost in pure muscle. His body is thickly muscled, however his physique is not stocky or bulky as this muscle is distributed around his body in even proportions - Leon's physique is actually quite agile and streamline despite his muscle mass, in that the muscle lays over his body smoothly instead of bulging out from it. He has a very nice chest-to-waist ratio, with broad shoulders and a wide chest. His arms are long as are his legs, and both are evenly muscled like the rest of him. His hands, while large to accommodate his general mass, are actually quite slender and his fingers are long and nimble and calloused on the fingertips. His hair is wavy and reminiscent of a raven's feathers, such a dark shade of black that some strands may falsely appear blue under certain lighting. It falls down his neck and barely brushes the nape of his neck, and it is usually messy as all hell but the style works for him. The man's eyes are a cold and clear pale blue that may look silver under certain lighting. Very pale skin tone, alabaster in color, very smooth but rough in some places due to scars, skin of the upper and lower eyelids are seemingly permanently marked in dark rings that convey a sense of exhaustion. No freckles, moles, acne or natural skin marks what so ever. Diamond shaped face. Narrow forehead, chin, and hairline, prominent cheekbones, sharp and defined jawline, subtle brow ridges, slightly crooked jaw more to the left than the right. He's got a silver eye brow piercing along with a nose bridge one as well. He always wears a couple of beaten and old rusted chain links about his neck like a choker, the chain has no purpose but seems to hold sentimental value to him. Finally, he sports three tattoos; on both hands, on the back of his neck, and the right of his collarbone
Abilities: Decided to bank off Ghost Rider if I'm allowed since that mofo is now in the MCU and one has been acquainted with SHIELD. What that entails is basically Leon himself is still human in every sense of the word save for the ability to bend hellfire and being a little more physically durable than normal in his human form. Admittedly his other form won't be used much for obvious reasons and also because logically with his inexperience Leon should not and therefore will not have any control over that thing
Personality: Leonidas is hard to understand, like a book with thousands of pages and no words on any of them. A bit of a dual personality, making it hard to define him as one thing or the other. Is he merciful or monstrous? Is he sociable or solitary? Is he friendly or is he aggressive? Leon seems to bounce between the lines of such things as it suits him. He will be extremely quick to criticize and threaten anybody that tries to make a fool out of him, perhaps out of humiliation. He is a prideful creature. He does not take insults lightly, if he feels he or anyone he cares about have been insulted or hurt then a verbal lashing is in order and attacking brutally without hesitation is certainly not beneath him. It would take an extremely long time for him to learn to trust you again as he does not forgive or forget things easily. He can sometimes be seen as blunt and straight to the point and he's certainly not timid or sensitive. He is unbearably rude, no matter who you are, but he is especially rude towards those who would judge him and his little group of misfit teens. Others often describe him as a guy who needs a hug but one who would probably shank you if you tried to give him one. Despite all of the above, Leon is still just a young man who's barely an adult and tends to leap before he looks. As with most young organisms, he has the tendency to 'live for the moment', taking risks just for the thrill of adrenaline which can have consequences that he does not think of. He hates to be kept waiting and becomes very impatient over the smallest of delays and would rather rely on his own judgement. In contrast to this, he can be quite mocking of other's advice. Lenny loves to feel self sufficient and he seems to cherish his independence to such a level that he prefers to remain alone throughout his life with the exception of the other thieves. He can sometimes be quite impulsive, and rude towards those that try to influence his decisions and does not always consider the consequences that may follow his actions. In addition to his reckless attitude, Leonidas is an incredibly unpredictable individual, unpredictable enough that even he himself does not what he's doing half of the time. But all hostility aside, If you manage to befriend him and earn his trust, you'll have earned yourself a loyal ally; Once he's your friend, he's your friend forever. Unfortunately, the same goes for his rivals since Leon does not forget those who have wronged him. He will bite, scratch, growl, and snarl at anyone when angry, including his superiors. Over all, Leonidas is like flame; friend to some but mastered by none, a wild and free spirit and no living being in the Multiverse could ever hope to control the wayward man
History: A grim tale is the history of Leonidas. Leon's birth was the death of his mother, leaving him in the care of his uncle who was there in place of a father who shouldve been there instead. This uncle and his wife took their nephew in with no hesitation. He grew to be a perfectly healthy human boy. Unfortunately for the boy, good things never last. His aunt wound up missing and eventually found dead, supposedly murdered. His uncle was killed in a drive-by shooting between two gangs soon after while he and his uncle were out and about. Nowhere to go but to Foster Care, but Leonidas wouldn't allow it. The boy ran instead, just barely eleven years old, striking it out on his own on the streets. His grief eventually took him to what had robbed him of his family, a gang called the Hellhounds. Starving, exhausted, the boy had nothing left to do. The Hellhounds had no pity for him, but dragged the boy into their ranks nonetheless. Years would pass as Leonidas free and changed with gang life, one misdeed after another. Until the Hellhounds were busted, shot up by a rival gang. Leon would be the only one to escape, bleeding and very possibly dying as he fled with a heart full of hate. This hate is what eventually brought hell itself straight to the broken teenager. And hell itself is what helped him find the thieves group
