[indent]Much like his brother, Leo has a hard time connecting with people. Shy in his youth, he tended to avoid people, behaviour that only intensified when he was diagnosed with depression and social anxiety disorder. 

Nowadays his condition is repressed, so such negativity is less obvious, covered up by a certain laid-back, “all is well” attitude, all smirks and jokes, not a bit of seriousness to be seen. Leo now manages to maintain relationships with others for far longer than he was previously able, and appears to have a new lease on life, caught with a smile on his face a lot more frequently than usual. 

Old habits die hard, however, and despite his renewed, somewhat positive outlook on things, there lies beneath paranoia and cynicism that he just can’t shake off no matter how hard he tries. 

But beneath all that is just a young man’s fragile psyche, trying desperately to get by with all the loneliness he feels, with the crushing feeling that life just isn’t worth a damn. There’s just a little boy, desperate for acceptance by his fellow man, for acceptance in society. There’s just someone who’s lost his way in the world, trying his hardest to find it again.[/indent]

[indent]At the start of his activities as Aeon, Leo wears only a hoodie and jeans. As he progresses, he’ll eventually upgrade into [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/79/c6/93/79c693f7ec222954c46981bd8f21d417.jpg]something like this.[/url][/indent]
[color=BurlyWood][b]| ORIGIN: |[/b][/color]
[indent]Leon Corrigan was born in Grant City ten years after his brother, Gareth. Shortly after his birth, his mother succumbed to the allure of drugs, leaving him, Gar and their father in pursuit of her next high. While their father never said it, Leo has always suspected that he blamed him for her desertion – one of the primary factors in the development of his depression.

Throughout all of his school years, Leo suffered from relentless bullying. His tendency to bury himself in books and technology saw him ostracised by his peers, often to the point of physical abuse – and no matter how many self defence lessons he took in an attempt to grow closer to his father, no matter how much Gareth tried to teach him himself – Leo was always the one to come home battered and bruised. 

The constant abuse, coupled with perceived neglect by his father, led to Leo developing, and later being diagnosed with, clinical depression and social anxiety disorder. Along with this, he began to build a very cynical, pessimistic worldview, questioning everything others labeled as ‘good’ or ‘a part of life’, unwilling to believe that the world was so clearly divided into black and white.

Overwhelmed by his disappointment in society, Leo sought refuge in technology. He taught himself relentlessly, learning all there is to know about coding, robotics and computer sciences, writing his own viruses by the time he started tenth grade. By the time he left high school he was a full-fledged gray-hat hacker, shutting down websites he deemed deserving with DDoS attacks and distributing credit card info belonging to the likes of sex offenders and other scumbags. 

After high school, Leo was accepted into MIT, from which he graduated with flying colours, going on to find a job in one of Grant City’s top research and technology centres, Altman Laboratories. To those on the outside, it looked like things were finally looking bright for Leo, and for the most part, they were; he had all but overcome his depression, and his S.A.D. was at its lowest point… but despite appearances, he was anything but content. He was never very good with people, but he always had a knack for reading situations – and something just isn’t sitting right with him.[/indent]

[indent]Leo has no powers, but rather relies on his intellect, his abilities as a hacker, and eventually, his suit. To highlight his abilities, he is an extraordinarily talented hacker, and generally just a really smart guy. Bring him a disassembled computer and he’ll be able to put it back together, with improvements, in less than an hour. Give him the parts to an exosuit and a time limit, and he’ll build it with hours to spare. There’s no firewall he can’t get past, no virus he can’t plant – when with technology, Leo is in his element.

The Aeon suit is a piece of tech of Leo’s own design, best described as a walking supercomputer. Outfitted with a neural processing unit, the suit both transfers and translates code into and from his mind, enabling him to execute commands, among other things, through his thoughts. It also contains executable files that are downloaded onto his mind when the suit is in use, boosting his knowledge on whatever topics he chooses; be it complex scientific equations to a comprehensive catalogue of martial arts skills.

Ever the paranoid, Leo bolsters the suit with bulletproof materials, protecting every nook and cranny from potentially lethal danger. Its interface is protected by state of the art software designed by Leo, making it very near impossible to hack and take control of. However, those who are skilled enough might still be able to break through. [/indent]

[indent]Leo’s only human. Anything that might kill a man can kill him, too. During his first days as Aeon, all the equipment he has is his laptop and phone. Needless to say, it’s easy to see how this might be an issue. Even though the Aeon suit provides Leo with knowledge on combat, his body can often be a hindrance – spending most of his time in front of a screen has taken its toll, and his fitness is not as good as it could be.[/indent]

[b][i]ALLIES, ACQUAINTANCES AND FAMILY:[/i][/b]
[indent][b][url=http://i.imgur.com/N4MFe0s.jpg?1][color=white]Gareth Corrigan[/color][/url] |[/b]  Leo’s big brother, Gareth is a former detective of the Grant City Police Department. A metahuman, he’s decided to take on vigilantism following the untimely death of his wife. While not diagnosed with depression or S.A.D. like Leo, Gareth has a hard time connecting with people – just like his brother. Regardless, they’re both very close… or as close as two can be with their mentalities.

[b]Scott Altman |[/b]  Leo’s boss, Scott is the owner and CEO of Altman Laboratories, one of Grant City’s leading research and technology facilities. A good man, he sees only the best in people, much to the glee of those who seek to take advantage of him. And according to Leo’s suspicions, there are more than a few.

Despite her best intentions, her efforts have failed thus far – but for some reason, Leo just can’t help but take a liking to her.
