Social Life: Leon has the reputation of being the guy who always does what's right: a Mr. Morality, if you will. He avoids the party scene and focuses on his studies however everyone knows him to be the type of person that will willingly help another human being in need.
Angel Walters|| his.. Quite frankly Leon has no idea what they are. She is most definitely his best friend.. That he's slept with. More than once. He would like to be able to call her his girlfriend but getting close to Angel is difficult because she shuts herself off. It does not stop Leon from feeling the way he does nor does it stop him from caring for her. And very recently he has determined that he would like to spend the rest of his life with her.
Perla Mercer|| skateboarding pal. They met at the skate park and nearly immediately hit it off. Leon feels he can confide in her or just talk to her without any judgement. She is the only one he has told of his affections for Angel and he hopes it stays that way for the time being.
Emerson Hadley|| ex-girlfriend. Leon would not say he hates her but she hurt him very deeply. It is because of her that he is so adamant about waiting for the right person. He does not know that she stalks him to this day. If he were to find out he wouldn't take it too well.
Dixie Days|| TBA
Jason Tanner was only a second-year private in the military when he met the love of his life, Elise Roberts. She was a nursing student at the time, doing her clinicals, and he had just shot himself in the foot. If that wasn't going to make for an interesting story, what would? Two months later they were dating rather seriously-- though to say that they themselves were serious would be a lie. Jason was one big goofball and Elise adored him for that. Often when they were out in public everything would suddenly turn into a 'the ground is lava' game. No surprise to their families when the couple announced after two years that they were getting married.
Of course getting pregnant was a major problem for the new Tanner family. With Jason constantly being deployed and Elise's long shifts at the Emergency Room, there was very little time to consider expanding the family. Though it was something they both wanted very much, it seemed as if perhaps they were not meant to be parents. Then five years after their marriage, Elise revealed that she was pregnant. They were very much overjoyed that finally they would have a son or daughter to call their own.
What they didn't expect was three new babies. Life was going to be so much more difficult with three infants on the way. Everything had to be not doubled, but tripled in amount. Elise was so uncomfortable with three babies kicking her and each other. Then, in the eighth month the trip-lets were born. First was Madison Jason Tanner, a small boy with a full head of beautiful dark hair. The second-- ten minutes later--was Leon Jason Tanner, a smaller baby boy who made up for it with the thickness of his own dark locks. And finally, twenty minutes after the boys were born, came Clarice Annabeth Tanner.
The three children were as different as peanut butter, jelly, and fluff. Yet they all surprisingly got along very well. Madison was the one that wasn't afraid to take risks and enjoy what life had to offer. Clarice was the sociable one that was always coming up with something to do with her friends. And Leon was the shy yet lovable middle child that just sought for others to be happy.
In elementary school, when kids went around announcing what they wanted to be when they grew up, Leon never knew how to answer. He didn't seem to be particularly good at anything nor did anything seem to fit him. Police work was too dangerous, he saw what the military did to his father, working in a hospital seemed just too tiring.. Was there a way he could just have fun and somehow get paid for it?
Art class was the subject he always could look forward to. Being able to mess around with paints and draw whatever the hell he wanted was a freeing thought. But while most kids his age drew imaginary creatures or 'abstract' portraits, Leon found himself staring out the window and painting or drawing what he saw outside. His art teacher took notice at the talent Leon seemed to possess and offered him private lessons. Naturally he jumped on the opportunity and by the time high school hit, he was painting with oils in a way that could make Bob Ross happy.
The year he was a sophomore, his talents brought a classmate to his easel. She was petite, blonde, and looked so sweet as she complimented his brushstrokes and eye for beauty. A cheesy pickup line or two later and they were planning a date. Her name was Emerson and at first she seemed to be the girl Leon could see himself spending the rest of his life with. But somewhere in junior year she turned. She wasn't as innocent as she seemed and would often try to get Leon to do things he personally did not see as being morally right. She shamed him for beign as goofy as he was, claiming that he needed to grow up and stop living in a life of fantasy.
In senior year things between him and Emerson were rocky. Homecoming weekend only worsened it. It wasn't uncommon for Leon to accompany Emerson to parties, but he would more often be carrying her out over his shoulder in order to tend to her drunken self. But this time, in his frenzy to keep tabs on her, someone spiked his drink. Everything after that was a blur of color and sound until pitch darkness hit. In the morning, Leon woke up sans clothes in a bed with Emerson. With no recollection of the night before, he could only assume he had lost his virginity to her.
Two months later Emerson was claiming she was pregnant. Leon was crushed, since he had hoped perhaps he had been wrong about the homecoming thing. Then, a few months later Emerson miscarried. Oh she went off the wall with the melodrama. but Leon could only be relieved. He wasn't ready to be married to her and that kid would not have been happy. Emerson sensed his relief and an argument broke out between them, during which she revealed that she had been the one that had spiked his drink so they could finally have sex. Leon was mortified and ended the relationship right there.
He threw himself into preparing for college-- he had been accepted into the prestigious Metric Academy of Arts and he was so excited! When he started attending everything was so much different from high school, and that was a good thing. Sure he was sort of made fun of for being the morality poster boy, but he couldn't beat the reputation. Then, he met her. She was drunk off her ass at the time and was a clear target for someone who didn't have the moral clarity Leon possessed. With flashbacks of that homecoming weekend going through his head, Leon scooped up the young girl in his arms and carried her to his place where she could be safe.
It wasn't the only time it happened. After about the fifth time he and Angel were on a first name basis. In a way, he actually looked forward to helping her out, taking care of her. he didn't know what it was about her but Leon was drawn to her. The two became an unlikely pair: with Angel constantly teasing him about his morals and him trying to tame her.. He doesn't know what will happen to either of them once his current senior year at Metric is over and they go their separate ways. Quite frankly he doesn't even want to consider it. Life without Angel seems like hell.
Playlist:
- Now, while Leon does have a skateboard, he does also have a Jeep that he uses to drive to and from home on breaks.
- While Leon will very adamantly try to avoid getting into a fight, he will protect those he is close to. Namely, Angel.
- Leon's DS is an embarrassing color for others but he is quite confident in himself so he doesn't really care, no matter how much Angel may make fun of him for it.
- I am thinking of having Leon pick up guitar since he seems to have so much spare time now that he's a senior.
