[color=#7893bf][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u][/color]
Leeroy is, at his core, a survivor. He's willing to do anything to survive. While his morality is a huge moral grey zone, he still has shreds of human decency and will help others, so long as it doesn't put him in too much danger. Adaptivity is another one of Leeroy's strong suits; his thinking is always fast. Even if it's not the most optimal solution, Leeroy can quickly solve problems. He has a rather big soft spot for dark humor. It helps him cope with the sense of dread that goes along with an apocalypse.

[color=#7893bf][u][b]Biography:[/b][/u][/color]
Born in Spokane, Leeroy was like any other Spokanite; he wanted to leave that city. But, Leeroy never had the opportunity to leave when he was young. He was never blessed with money. His father barely made ends meet. His mother was absent; his parents had been divorced since he was only a baby. Despite this, Leeroy made his time in Spokane as entertaining as he could. He was resourceful enough to find what little the city had to offer him.

As he graduated high school, his options were limited. Money for college simply wasn't there. As such, he went into trades. His career constantly shifted. From welder to painter to carpenter, Leeroy did it all. He slowly saved his money to move away from Spokane, a dream he had since he was a teenager. But, years later, his career turned upside down. A drunk driver had managed to push Leeroy off the road and directly into a tree. According to the doctors, it was a miracle that he survived. For the money he saved, it was a less than a miracle. The crash decimated his savings. His dream of moving away from Spokane was dead. However, rather than giving up, Leeroy considered it a fresh start. He would simply have to try harder.

During his two years of odd jobs and penny pinching, he met a Flemish girl online. They hit it off and after two years of conversations, they made the decision to meet each other. He got on a plane and flew to Brussels where the two would meet. After arriving, shit began to go down. Those things began to rise. They hid away in the girl's home and prayed that it would just blow over.

It didn't.

It was to Leeroy's surprise when the girl vanished. She left a note apologizing, but that was it. She just left during the night. Leeroy was on his own. As Brussels fell, Leeroy adapted. He was always resourceful. He began to collect things. Anything that would be useful. He managed to acquire his gear from a hardware store. He dismantled anything that was useless in this new world - damaged cars, televisions, computers - and made tools out of them. Anything he needed to survive. He read some books on the outdoors. Things to eat and whatnot. The things themselves were dreadful. Leeroy, thankfully, only had a few choice encounters with them. He always avoided swarms. He was going to survive through this. He wasn't going to die.

He has two hideouts. One containing nothing but dismantled garbage, the other containing somewhat useful materials and tools that are too risky to carry with him. Both are only accessible by the fire escape.[/hider]
