[i]I've got a burning in my heart
It's tearing me apart
Somebody call the doctor
Hey I think I'm losin' my mind now
Havin' trouble findin' a way out
Shine so bright this star's gonna burn out
I take and don't know why they give

[indent]Tall, talented, handsome, athletic, a star player given the opportunity to ride his way through college on a scholarship. Leon is the epitome of a high school jock, hanging out with the cool kids, working out to perfect his toned body, and focusing more on sports over his studies. At least to most people at Beverly High, that’s just who he is. To the rest of his friends, the other misfits he opened up to, he’s a bubbly, yet mild-mannered closeted nerd who’s really into fantasy novels and sketching artwork.

Leon is the type of man who enjoys the attention he receives while being in the spotlight, dribbling down the court, making that perfect shot. However, he’s also the type who appreciates the idling silence and nonchalant of good company, where he can be how he really feels without the pressures of society bearing down on him. It’s a balanced scale he has to constantly teter across, only tipping one end over the other if it means his decisions and loyalties will end up hurting the people he cares about; then all bets are off.

[sub][h3][color=1E90FF]►[/color] brief history[/h3][/sub]
[indent]Born originally in Chicago, IL, Leon was born to a loving mother and father, both of whom bore no other children. [color=1E90FF]“Not that they had much of a chance mind you, Ma died 2 years after I was born, but the scent of Elderberry and Pine still makes me smile.”[/color] It wasn’t long into his youth that his latent abilities for the court became rather apparent. [color=1E90FF]“Pops tried a couple of sports with me, though I think he always wanted me to be a hockey player. We used to watch the Canucks every season, still do now...did I not mention he was from Toronto?”[/color] Though his youthful days in Chicago were enjoyable, fairer winds eventually crossed him from the heart of the Midwest into the Californian sun. [color=1E90FF]“Pops got a better job opportunity, said it’d be good for us to leave home, leave bad blood and memories behind. That was...7 or so years ago I think, didn’t really know what he meant back then and still don’t know what he means even now. Nah...I just gotta get back home, with graduation soon, college on the horizon, I’ll get there, I’ll make Ma proud.”[/color]
Now as another chapter comes to an end in the life of Leon Barnes, he has one last hurrah before the future takes hold. [color=1E90FF]“For all the curveballs life threw at me, my time at Beverly Hills High was probably some of the best moments I had. The people I met, the friends I made, the lifetime of memories...This is my last chance, y’know? To have a bit of fun before doing something...worthwhile. I don’t really know if this is where I want to be, but...it’s where I’ve gotta be, y’know? Aw hell, let’s do this some other time, yea? Future’s on the horizon, and I’m gonna be there to take it by storm!”[/color][/indent][/indent]
