Name: Léonard Marques

Age: Mid twenties

Physical Description: Unlike most others, it seems, Léonard actually really scrawny to the level where you can pretty much see his ribs. This doesn't serve to make him "attractive" in any way, and really just makes him look more like a bag of skin and bones than anything else. (Which he pretty much is.) You could say he's "fit" considering his body shape, but he just can't seem to change it.

His skin tone's also slightly more olive toned than the average French citizen, seeing as (a few generations back), he had a few Kurdish relatives. Léonard's hair is a light brown color, although it's turning darker over time. Right now, he hasn't trimmed it for a while, so he currently ties it up in an extremely short ponytail. As for the color of his eyes, they could be described as amber, although there's also a fair amount of brown in there, as well.



Personality: Léonard's the type to prefer remaining secretive and aloof from everyone, even the people he's close to. (Although he's not really close to them even then - he just claims to be.) He's also quite apathetic towards everyone, and won't care much about the situation unless it applies to him. Otherwise, he prefers to just observe others (unless he thinks of a suitably unfitting snarky remark). He has an extremely confusing (and sometimes outright insulting) sense of humor, so this rarely turns out well, either.

Snarky remarks from him are quite common, actually - it's something that should be expected constantly from him. It's also fairly easy to tell when he's lying / in denial / angry at you, since he usually starts to stammer slightly when this happens. If this goes on for longer than a few minutes, he's most likely to start lashing out at everyone else, regardless of whether they were involved or not. Léonard's also quite the pessimist, and will most likely list all the reasons why the group's going to fail instead of encouraging them. As a result, it's probably in everyone's best interest either a) find a way to shut him up or b) ignore him.

Specialties/Occupation: Previously an architect, but just joined the military a few months ago.

Strong Points:
- He's great at running away like a coward finding escape routes, being able to find them mostly because of his knowledge of buildings / structures.
- Leonard's also got a good aim with a gun, as he's not great at close range fighting / melee.

Fears:
- He tends to hide this from others (and most definitely won't admit it to himself), but he's afraid of accidentally getting emotionally attached to someone else. When he actually does become attached, he always becomes overly invested and over thinks everything.
- And, since he tends to escape from situations he doesn't want to deal with, it causes him a lot of stress when there's something he can't get away from.
- Disappointment. He's alright with others getting angry at him (since it happens all the time), but disappointment is the worst for him.

Other information: Léonard really hates nicknames, and calling him "Leo" is pretty much a guarantee for him to hate you.
Hmm... I don't want to make it too OP, and my character's not too great at using his power yet, so I think I might go with only expanding the illusions to sight and one other sense. (I have no idea how he's going to control another sense, though, but I'll try to figure that out.) Would he be too weak if he could only cast illusions over objects the size of a cat or smaller, then?
Is there a minimum to the amount of writing per post? Also, are you going to allow one liners / short paragraphs?

Romanticized or dramatic? This rp is supposed to be a twisted mess. ^_^ Sorry that doesn't work for you.Also, I am editing my profile because losing her brother AND being messed with in the same night is over much. That I will agree with. Being tired and writing often doesn't mix. -Shrug-@Whirlwind - Agreed. :)


Both, but I find it too romanticized for my tastes.

And that's understandable. c:

Anyway, I'll just awkwardly leave now. Bye bye.
Okay, so I've decided to completely scrape the old idea and use a different character / power.

Would casting simple illusions (by manipulating light) be an acceptable power?
I'm pretty interested, as well. :p

I'll probably end up revamping one of my really awful characters from an old roleplay, if that's alright with you?
I'm not saying trauma doesn't cause problems. I just feel that your character's backstory is too romanticized.
Actually, I think I'm going to drop out of this roleplay. I... don't think that's how tragic backstories / mental illnesses work.
I like this. :D

What level of casual is this going to be, though?
This sounds pretty promising, so you can count me in.~

Also, I call the white rabbit. c:
