[Appearance]
[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkFMJ4-ai1I]Based off of a younger version of Les Claypool in this music video[/url]
Les would consider himself a strapping young gent fit to take any young lady he wanted if he was right of mind. He isn't, obviously. He isn't exactly ugly just not good looking, more average than anything. He has a hooked nose that slightly bends to the right in the middle after being broken. His face is thin and his jawline is far from square. His eyebrows are thin and brown, almost the same colour as his hair. He has big, round brown eyes that rest just under his eyebrows and are almost, but not quite too close to his nose. His hair is shaven on both sides, but long enough to reach his shoulders down the middle. His hair is slightly lighter than his eyebrows and could be considered almost dirty blond rather than brown. He has the start of a moustache growing on his lip.
Voice: Les has a strong southern American accent that is rather nasally and somewhat high pitched.

[Brief Background](Sorry it's a bit long, kind of went crazy while writing it)
Les was born in the far south of North America. He is what could be considered 'trailer trash' as his family barely made enough to scrape by even within their mobile home. His mother was an aspiring poet who couldn't get her works published while his father was a lumberjack. His parents were both rather young when Les was born and so they didn't really have a plan for bringing up, Les other than just winging it. As a result of their lack of money, Les was often left to explore and play outside rather than staying inside to play with his new games console or something. He and his friends got into a lot of trouble because of this lack of things to do. They would often hop fences deliberately trying to get caught just for doing something to do. The worst case of this was when they were hopping fences and Les' jeans got caught on a stray bit of wire and sent him tumbling down onto the concrete below, resulting in his broken nose. 

Les first discovered his musical talent when his grandfather handed him down his old bass guitar. Les was a natural with it, his grandfather gave him lessons every week and, Les began to copy old CD's his father had to the best of his ability after he began to get the hang of things. His main base of criteria for music was 90s rock music, but he sometimes delved into various other eras such as the 80s and 70s. He discovered his talent with woodwork around his twelfth birthday. He wanted to get a summer job so he could get some extra money and buy a new guitar. He got a job at his fathers lumberjack company, but was set for an alternate route than just cutting down trees after he was noticed by one of the higher up members within the organisation. They offered him the chance to get a few lessons in woodworking and possibly make some wood ornaments and furniture. He accepted and discovered he was quite handy at making wooden furniture. He went on to make various sculptures and miniatures which received acclaim from various friends and family Les knew. It was only when, Les' uncle remarried that he was discovered by Ongaku academy. 

Les' uncle had a job in transport, which of course involved a lot of travelling. He met his new wife in Japan and they were soon married after being near perfect matches. The marriage took place in America, where Les met his new family. They couldn't have been more different. Les' side of the family were loud and energetic while the new, Japanese side of the family were quiet and courteous. Les began to learn Japanese before the wedding just so he could talk to his new cousins. He was far from fluent when the wedding happened, but he could at least make some sort of conversation with his new cousins. In a drastic stroke of luck, his new auntie's brother was actually one of the teaching staff at Ongaku before he retired. He had heard of Les' woodwork and was very impressed when he saw it. He recommended Les for Ongaku and just about the entire family scraped enough together to send him to it. He joined when he was 15 and was now fluent in Japanese, save for a word or two. Often times people originally from Japan would have trouble understanding him because of his accent, but that only happens very rarely now. He was rather ostracised when he first appeared at the school because of his drastically different culture and appearance. He gathered a small friend base as time went on though, he prefers to stick to this group rather than have a big group of friends he would find hard to keep track of. He writes to his old family every week and now lives with his auntie and uncle in Japan.
