[b]Appearance:[/b]
[indent][indent]Leonard is an attractive young man with light skin, silvery-blue eyes, and light dirty blonde hair of medium-length that is rather unkempt and feathery. He is handsome, even a 'pretty boy', and his slender build might give off the illusion that he is female to a less observant eye. He is also rather short, which is something of a personal pet peeve for him even if he usually hides that. His lower body clothing consists of a pair of very dark brown cargo pants that are quite baggy, and a pair of very dark brown boots which have a couple of belts around them seemingly for fashion purposes. The black belt with a gold buckle around his waist actually holds two black sheathes that conceal a pair of daggers. His upper body clothing consists of three layers -- a red jacket on top, a black hoodie in the middle, and a white tan zip-up shirt underneath that has red trim up the centre and along the collar which is worn up. His outfit is a bit worn in general, implying he wears it quite a lot. He also wears a golden locket at almost all times, which is his most cherished possession. Though not wearing them constantly, he often has a pair of black fingerless gloves on his person -- sometimes kept in the worn-out black duffel bag that holds most of his important belongings.[/indent][/indent]

[b]Synopsis:[/b]
[indent][indent]Leonard is a young man with a tragic past, losing his parents in an accident while he was a mere infant and taken in by Grove Walker - his godfather and a long-standing close friend of his parents - who adopted the boy and raised him like he was his own son. Never really knowing about his parents outside of comments from Grove about their friendship, Leonard has since grown up into an introspective, emotional, inquisitive, and kind soul. He is refreshingly forthright, preferring to be straightforward with others and disliking the superficial formalities and masks used by much of society. Few people are more sentimental or sensitive than him; in fact, he can be so empathetic that he cares too much for those who are perhaps undeserving, and a tendency to wear his heart on his sleeves has caused him to go through much pain. A horrible incident ended up putting his adopted father in prison, and he has been surviving on his own by doing odd-jobs ever since, using the skills that Grove taught him to survive. During that terrible event, Leonard lost what was most previous to him, leaving him incomplete and alone in the world.

Despite growing up in a rough neighbourhood in the lower-class streets of Brooklyn nearly his entire life, he is far more serious and complex than the laid-back and sarcastic youth he might seem on the surface; a strong sense of morality and spirituality reside in him, as well as a passionate romantic and artistic nature. There is also a purity to him that is difficult not to see, and the flow of intuitive and psychic energy is something he is highly attuned to. His fragile appearance is also extremely misleading; he is very tough inside thanks to his lifestyle and is actually quite athletic, possessing a powerful competitive streak that compliments his inner strength. Through resolve, he is able to overcome lack of natural ability or experience through the power of his determined attitude. While clearly a thoughtful young man, he is no pushover; living only on his terms, those who boss him around quickly learn that his will is quite unyielding, and anyone who talks down to him discovery he never hesitates to stand up for himself.[/indent][/indent]
[b]Notes:[/b] [list][*] Astrological sign is Pisces.
[*] Leonard's surname is a fusion of the surname of his parents (Christian) with the surname of his adopted father (Walker).
[*] Birth parents' names were Thames Christian and Cindy Christian (formerly Cindy Williams).
[*] He speaks with an instantly recognizable Brooklyn accent. His voice is quite masculine -- a stark contrast to his appearance.
[*] Considers his height annoying, and generally dislikes being referred to as 'short'. This has less to do with disliking his height itself, and more to do with hating it when people underestimate him -- something which his appearance and social status often results in.
[*] His attention to detail and perceptiveness are exceptionally keen - practically genius, in fact - and he jokingly uses the term 'detective mode' to refer to how he gets whenever he is analyzing or reading into something. His deep nature makes him a natural detective in ways, so the term is not particularly unfounded; however, it was Grove who taught him to always use his insight to scrutinize the details of things around him -- in a sense, Leonard was raised to be something of an investigator. Alongside his wit and resourceful nature, this makes him a valuable ally in a variety of situations.
[*] Leonard is not what one would call 'book smart', but he is incredibly 'street smart'. He never had a formal education, and what knowledge he does have was either picked up wherever he could find it or was taught to him by Grove. With that said, Grove always told him that school was meaningless for teaching you things that actually had value, and - as frequently mentioned to him by his adopted father - Leonard considers people who confuse their knowledge for wisdom or insight to be shallow and arrogant, so he is not particularly bothered by his circumstances.
[*] Proficient in the art of American Kenpo, which was taught to him by Grove. He is basically an expert, and specializes in a hybrid of unarmed combat and dual wielding knives. Combining this with his bravery and wits, Leonard can easily overcome groups of attackers on his own. Of course, he is still a human, so a gun is as dangerous to him as anyone else.
[*] Exceptional finger dexterity from wielding his daggers all the time means he would be an excellent pickpocket if he needed to be (not that he believes in stealing without good reason).
[*] Has a rather wide variety of interests in music, though he dislikes a lot of rap and heavy metal.
[*] He is quite good at video games (though rarely plays them), and his adopted father taught him chess and a few card games.
[*] Dislikes firearms quite a lot, which is one of the reasons he chose to learn hand-to-hand combat.
[*] Frequently mentions someone called 'Rose', but can get pretty quiet if asked who they are.[/list]

[b]Appearance:[/b]
[indent][indent]Annabelle is a very attractive young woman with delicate features - a true feminine beauty - and a tender expression on her light Caucasian face. She looks young even without relying on make-up (though she does sometimes wear it, depending on the occasion), being 'baby-faced' while still having features that would be considered rather 'hot' alongside being 'cute', which is helped by her noticeable womanly figure. Her sky blue eyes are usually warm, yet melancholy and deep at the same time; in fact, they often have an expression as if she has many things on her mind that she is not saying. Despite the calm look on her face most of the time causing her eyes to appear smaller and a bit sleepy, her eyes are actually known to be fairly big and expressive when she shows more excitable or troubled emotion, making her have rather dynamic facial features. Her hair is a strawberry blonde color, and is both long (almost down to her waist) and wavy. The hair at the front of her face is styled into large parted bangs -- the ones at the right being swept behind her ear - though a few bangs still sit in front of her ear and frame her face - while the ones on the left are draping down over her forehead and framing down the left side of her face; in fact, her left eye could easily be covered by it if she wished. Some of her hair is usually hanging over the front of her right shoulder. No matter what she wears, she is virtually always seen wearing a pair of small golden crucifixes around her neck on a thin golden chain; in fact, it is almost as if she never takes this off, since she has never been seen without it.

She usually has a large white purse on her wherever she goes. While her clothing can be a bit dynamic at times - shifting from cultured and formally classy to a bit more casual - her preferred style of casual outfit is still quite elegant, which reveals her tastes. She usually wears black heels that put her at roughly one or two inches taller than her actual height, and black gloves - which go to her wrists and cover her fingers - that she usually takes off while playing an instrument. Unless the weather is particularly hot, her legs are usually covered by either black leggings, tight stockings, or thigh highs. It is frequently difficult to tell which she is currently wearing due to the black skirts with frilly trim she tends to wear only going down to roughly her thighs at most. Whatever upper body clothing she currently has on is generally hidden underneath her favourite pale red jacket with dark red trim and collar, that almost looks like autumn wear but is actually versatile for most weather - it prevents her from feeling too hot or too cold - and is usually kept on unless wants to show off whatever she is wearing. During more formal occasions or performances, she frequently wears a black mid-calf length cocktail dress with frilly spaghetti straps, alongside her usual black heels and an alternative - going up virtually most of her arms, rather than stopping at her wrists - pair of black gloves. An overcoat that is virtually identical to her favourite jacket - it just goes down virtually to her feet instead of stopping at her waist - is usually worn over her outfit unless she is particularly hot or wants to show off her dress. Whenever this coat is kept closed, it is virtually impossible to work out what the rest of her clothing might be apart from her shoes and gloves. On occasions she has been seen wearing white instead of black, such as having a white version of her usual cocktail dress, and she apparently prefers this look over the black version, but for some reason she does not do this too often despite that.[/indent][/indent]
[b]Synopsis:[/b]
[indent][indent]The beautiful and soft-spoken Annabelle Joanne Taylor - or 'Anna', as the media calls her - is a talented music soloist who moves around the world; in fact, she never really seems to settle in one place. Her career has been going on for roughly four years now, and she remains popular within music circles to this day. Due to her nomadic nature (the fact is that she disappears often and resurfaces for performances, living a very private life for the most part), not many people know anything about her personal life; however, this only seems to add to the mysterious allure that follows her. Little is known about her life as a result, but she is said to be warm and melancholy at the same time, with a kind, thoughtful, sensual, gentle, and sensitive personality. Empathy and sentimentality run deep with her, and she is both imaginative and poetic. Those who have managed to know her say she is very nurturing, and that she has an extreme hatred of seeing others in any sort of pain. It is said she cares little for scientific mentalities, considering them to have nothing to do with true wisdom. Her talents in the music field include work as a vocalist and a pianist (often combining them), and though she does not focus on them she occasionally plays a few other instruments. She is considered extremely gifted due to the wide versatility she has in the field. Sometimes, she contributes to group performances but she has never officially teamed up with anyone, and she only has one solo album to her name. She recently appeared in Paris around a month ago and was quickly hired to work as a musician at Monsieur Bonaparte's estate, apparently wanting to take time away from less reclusive performances and think her life over.[/indent][/indent]
[b]Notes:[/b] [list][*] Astrological sign is Scorpio.
[*] She loves classical music, as it soothes her mind and calms her soul. She chose her occupation for that reason.
[*] Despite it not being her priority instrument, she is said to get very nostalgic any time she hears the violin.
[*] Her accent is extremely indistinguishable, potentially due to how much she moves around.
[*] Word is that she was invited to Monsieur Bonaparte's estate, and then offered her services as a musician to him shortly afterwards, due to her love of her music work. Even though she is on a vacation of sorts, she finds her heart uneasy when she is not using her musical talents, so this behaviour makes a lot of sense.
[*] She is known for going to a lot of lengths to avoid the media in general, and any sort of invasion of her privacy is something she will go out of her way to prevent. Subsequently, people often have a difficult time keeping track of when and where she moves until she resurfaces for work.
[*] As a result of being a beautiful and mysterious celebrity, she has received several offers to work as a model, but turned down the requests each time. Her statements specified that she has nothing against the line of work, but is too shy for it. On the other hand, she did a few photographs early on in her career.
[*] She speaks very little above her upbringing in Lublin, apparently being estranged from her family.
[*] Calling her 'Annie' can upset her, though she is unlikely to explain the reason.
[*] It is fairly known that - despite her having enough money to maintain her nomadic lifestyle - she donates a solid amount of the money she makes through her music to charities, and a lot of the music endeavours she participates in are charity events.
[*] The sole album to her name, '[i][u]It's Time To Say Goodbye[/u][/i]', consists mostly of piano pieces (often multiple versions of each track, some mixed with her vocals or other effects and some with just the piano), but there is a single instrumental track on the album that involves her playing the violin alongside a piano piece. She played both instruments in this track and then merged them together.
[*] One of the very few times she has spoken publically was to express her deep admiration for Monsieur Bonaparte and to personally applaud his philanthropic work.[/list]

[b]Height:[/b]
[indent][indent]176cm / 5'9"[/indent][/indent]

[b]Occupation:[/b]
[indent][indent]Information Broker[/indent][/indent]
[b]Marital Status:[/b]
[indent][indent]Single[/indent][/indent]
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[indent][indent]Generally an unimposing appearing man who looks rather young, and who has a fairly average height and weight, Sven does not really have many physical characteristics that would make him stand out from an ordinary Eurasian man -- very clearly what he is if one was to simply take a look at him. He has roughly jaw-length dark brown hair - difficult to determine if natural or dyed - which is mostly straight and is parted into bangs that frame down both sides of his forehead, though there are larger bangs on the left side than on the right. His dark brown eyes tend to have a pair of square rimless reading glasses covering them. He usually has an extremely slight amount of facial hair -- just a few stray stands around his chin that seemingly got missed during his last shave. His outfit usually consists of a simple green T-shirt, with a pair of dark grey pants - normally worn with a black belt that has a silver buckle - and very dark brown dress shoes. A yellow overcoat is generally worn over his outfit, that is left open and falls down to his knees. One accessory that seems to always be on him is a silver pocket watch, that he wears around his neck like a pendant with a long chain.[/indent][/indent]
[b]Synopsis:[/b]
[indent][indent]Sven Lund is an informant who travels around the world and sells information; in fact, he is a highly proficient information broker despite his young age. Born in Sweden to a Swedish father and a Korean mother who immigrated, this Eurasian man is often considered something of a quirky and even oddball airhead to those who meet him. He comes across as if he does not really have himself worked out, is a bit comical at times, and can even seem really unorganized at first glance, but he has a lot of personal charm and is a lot smarter than he seems. With a friendly, polite, and unthreatening disposition that always tries to lighten the mood, underneath he is intelligent and resourceful, and his ability to remember information can seem nothing short of extraordinary. He tends to not like speaking about his past, and has not been home in a rather long time -- his accent is largely faded out due to moving around so much. Generally speaking, he lives a rather private life, so while he knows a great deal about many people in the world the same cannot be said about other people's knowledge of him. Actually, he is often quite vague with people unless he needs to be professional. What an information broker who seems quite successful - if perhaps a bit unknown - would want from Monsieur Bonaparte is anyone's guess.[/indent][/indent]
[b]Notes:[/b] [list][*] Astrological sign is Aquarius.
[*] He always has three things with him. They are his laptop, his mobile phone, and the pocket watch he keeps around his neck. For whatever reason, he seems to be somewhat obsessed with time, which is the reason for the pocket watch he wears. He regularly uses all three of his appliances to keep tabs on the time.
[*] The ability he possesses to remember and store information within his mind is remarkable, as his brain is essentially an expansive database of info he has heard or researched throughout his life. He has a nearly flawless photographic memory, though it is still within human limitations and he uses his laptop to compensate.
[*] He knows multiple languages, but since he tends to move around a lot no one really knows how many he has learned.
[*] Though the past is, in a general sense, not a topic he likes to speak about, he is especially reluctant to talk about his family.[/list]

[b]Note:[/b] '[b][i][u]Grim Reaper's Gambit[/u][/i][/b]' is loosely connected to my main '[b][i][u]Guardian Ascension[/u][/i][/b]' project, by virtue of being a spin-off and part of its multiverse. The characters listed here aren't actually part of the cast of that main project (unless stated otherwise in their sheets) and are unique to this spin-off. Naturally, only the characters created/owned/played by me are included here, and I've not included the NPCs for the time being.

[b]Updated Note:[/b] '[b][i][u]Grim Reaper's Gambit[/u][/i][/b]' is now a part of the main universe and official canon of '[b][i][u]Guardian Ascension[/u][/i][/b]', and some of the characters in the - at one time mere spin-off - project have gone through a bit of a revamp due to that.
