[color=ED1414]Eye Color:[/color] Brown [color=ED1414]School Uniform:[/color] Leo will tend to undo the top buttons of his collared shirts so that his chest peeks through, and always lets his tie hang loosely around his neck. Some days instead of his suit jacket he'll wear his letterman jacket with his varsity letter on it. [color=ED1414]Casual Clothing:[/color] The dark haired boy knows he looks good in whatever he wears, so he doesn't care too much what his wardrobe consists of. Jeans and t-shirts, gym shorts, some button down shirts, but mostly casual wear. He also takes every opportunity to not wear clothing, so it's not unusual to see him shirtless on his way back from the gym or Football practice. Leo also loves shoes, so he has a vast collection of pairs.[/color] [/indent][/indent] [indent][color=ED1414][b]| |[u] R E P U T A T I O N [/u]| |[/b][/color] [indent][color=silver]Leo Brooks can be a real asshole- there’s no reason to beat around the bush when it’s the truth! The 18 year old carries himself with the bravado of someone twice his age and the swagger of someone who [i]knows[/i] he’s an alpha male. If “big dick energy” had a poster child, it would be Leo. He’s bossy by nature and always makes sure he gets his way. The ultimate goal is for him to come out on top, and he will do whatever it takes to get there, even if it means controlling those around him like pawns or stepping on someone else’s toes. You always know where you stand with Leo, as the word "subtle" is not in his vocabulary. It’s clear as day if he likes you or not as well as if you’re worth his time. And if he likes you, consider yourself lucky! He only surrounds himself with those he feels match his integrity and drive and looks out for his friends like he’d look out for family; protective and territorial, you know you’ll be alright if you’re on his side. But if you say something wrong to him or look at him and his friends the wrong way, you’ll wish you didn’t. He has a hot temper and will easily get aggressive, not afraid of getting physical in order to get his point across. A smooth talker, Leo always seems to know what to say and how to say it, especially when it comes to his love life and romantic endeavors. He’s known to be quite the ladies man (read: fuck boy) and has definitely made his way around the majority of Marble Heights... if you know what I mean. And much of an asshole as he is, well, he knows he’s attractive and certainly knows that others think so as well.[/color] [/indent][/indent] [center][color=ED1414]____________________________________________________________[/color] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/210117/605f36e7aa722591ec4061ef57f72d9a.png[/img][/center] [indent][color=ED1414][b]| |[u] H I S T O R Y [/u]| |[/b][/color] [indent][color=silver]Leo James wasn’t always a problem child. He began life with a loving mother and younger sister, and although they didn’t have much money, they made the best of a bad situation. Yes, they may have all shared one bed in a small studio apartment in San Francisco, and yes, they may have not had heat and electricity some months, but they were happy because they had each other. However, relatives believed this living situation was not well suited for two young children, which had all resulted from their mother's opiate addiction and failure to pay her bills, and they reported her to the authorities. Forcibly removed from his home at the age of 7, Leo and his sister were placed in the foster care system and subsequently separated. He prayed that his mom would come and find him; come and rescue him, but she never did. The trauma that Leo experienced from being taken away, as well as being split up from the only other family he had, was immense and would influence the trajectory of his life. The young boy became reckless, rebellious, and inconsolable, bouncing from foster home to foster home as a result of his behavior. In some homes, Leo would resort to violent actions like throwing glass objects, slamming doors until they came off their hinges, and physically pushing or punching his foster siblings and parents. In other homes, he would break rules and attempt to sneak out or run away. He thought the more homes he would be rejected from, the more likely they would be to return him to his mother. But unfortunately, the opposite was the case. The vicious cycle continued and by the time he turned 11, 4 years after he was placed in the foster care system, Leo had been through 10 homes. Each one cited him as a nuisance, a rebel, and a difficult child who could not be reached. According to them, he was impossible. That was until Daphne and Henry Brooks came into the picture. She was a successful business woman who worked in start ups and he was a renowned plastic surgeon in the Bay Area. With all of the time they had spent on their careers, which was most of their lives, they hadn't nary considered conceiving a family of their own. It wasn't until they heard through their social circle about Leo that they knew that he was somehow meant to be with them. A product of the foster care system herself, Daphne believed that this boy deserved to be given a second chance, however difficult it would be to reign in his anger and frustration with the world, and be provided with the stability of a permanent home. And so, calls were made, the licensing process was severely expedited, and a month and a half after hearing about him for the first time, Leo James arrived at the Brooks' doorstep. They'd be lying if they said the first six months weren't challenging. Leo was everything they had heard about from his previous placements and were warned about by the social workers, and somehow [I]more[/I]. Disaster struck wherever he walked and it was exhausting trying to calm the fire that was continuous in his heart. But Daphne knew that underneath all of the rage and anger, there was a terrified boy who needed someone- [I]anyone[/I]- to answer his clear calls for help, and thus she persisted. Eventually, after months of trying to reach him, something shifted. To this day, Daphne and Henry still don't know what exactly it was that caused the switch to flip, but Leo realized that the Brooks' weren't giving up on him and so he made the conscious decision to not give up on them. Trust was built from there, and most of the remaining flames were extinguished with time. Of course, not everything was quelled once the official adoption went through and Leo James became Leo Brooks at age 12, but he had certainly grown out of his acting out phase and instead channeled his remaining emotions into his cocky and carefree demeanor. At that point, his parents (officially, after they signed the papers) could care less- as long as he didn't resort to physical violence like in previous years, he could act however he wanted. To them, it was just growing pains, something that teenagers went through. What mattered most was the boy finally felt at home somewhere, after being abandoned at a young age and having doors open and shut on him. Daphne and Henry did everything they could to help their son- enrolling him in the best schools possible and allowing him to channel his remaining aggression into after school sports like Football. If it weren't for them, it's doubtful that Leo would have ever left the system, and would have possibly resorted to dangerous and despicable means to survive. To best set him up for success, the Brooks' enrolled Leo at Marble Heights Academy, and he has attended there since his Freshman year. He was roped in with the right crowd from day 1, which resulted in his popularity. Of course, his good looks and natural talent on the field helped, but something about the way he carried himself said it all without saying anything. He's excited for his senior year and looking forward to hopefully playing Football professionally after college.

It's not something he's necessarily proud of, and compensates for it with his larger than life (and asshole-like) persona. If he's let you in on that part of himself and has opened up about his past, it means that he considers you an [I]incredibly[/I] close friend. He doesn't want to seem marred by where he comes from, so he keeps it quiet.[/color] [/indent][/indent] [center][color=ED1414]____________________________________________________________[/color] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/210117/6ea95b5ea163b24804fa8d9600473108.png[/img][/center] [indent][color=ED1414][b]| |[u] E X T R A C U R R I C U L A R A C T I V I T I E S [/u]| |[/b][/color] [indent][color=silver][list][*]Football - Leo is the Wide Receiver on the team.
