Name: Leon Tavolin
Nickname/Alias: The Eleventh, Leo, Lion
Age: 16
Age Appearance: 16
Appearance:
Leon is an average looking person, at first glance. Wearing a school uniform on a normal basis, just because its something to wear, he tends to wear fingerless gloves with said uniform, although noone really knows why. Each glove is made of a soft leather, and has a slight bulge on the top of it, a green circle gem surrounded by gold with a giant X under it. The gloves extend down to cover his wrists with a more thick, solid leather, covered with silver thread in a design that looks like teeth.
The school uniform itself is very simple, a pair of dark colored slacks with whatever shoes Leon has decided to wear that day. Normally this consists of black socks and black steel toed boots, as Leon has been known to trip and stub his feet over small and trivial items. These boots prevent that, although Leon will still mutter 'Ow', when hitting an item.
While the slacks are dark colored, they are made of a unique material, which allows free air flow through the pants, and doesnt cause sweating in hot enviroments. Likewise, Leon has a pair of slacks that he wears in colder enviroments, restricting the airflow throught he pants and keeping his legs warmer than normal pants.
A white silk dress shirt, with its sleeves normally rolled up to expose his forearms, and a dark blue vest adorn Leon's torso. The dress shirt either normally has the first two buttons undone, showing off some skin, or a lighter blue tie around his neck. The tie is just an addition that Leon will wear, although there have been hints about the tie signifying something important while Leon goes out on a job, or any activity. The vest itself is one piece, no buttons or zippers adorn the front of it.
Around Leons neck sits a chain, normally one that he keeps hidden from everyone else. On the chain is a pentagram, a star within a circle. While most people who see this religious piece of jewelry automatically assume its intent is for evil, that is not the case for Leon and this necklace. While the origins of the necklace are unknown, Leon did recieve it from his mother who told him it was a very special item. At times a magical glow can be seen coming from the necklace, but no reasonable dealer can ascern the abilities that lie dormant within the necklace, or if there are any other special effects that may be seen while Leon is wearing it.
One of the most notable things about Leon however are his eyes. While his hair catches attention due to its gravity defying nature and its ability to remain spiked under even the most strenuous circumstances, Leons eyes are the real gem in his appearance. A molten gold and reddish colour can be seen from a surpisingly large distance away, making Leon seem to have fiery eyes from said distance. Up closer, his eyes look like molten gold, a rare and valuable mineral, and a very attractive point, something he sometimes uses for harmless flirting. On the occasion, a swirl or brown or blood red comes into view on Leon's iris, a natural effect that Leon has come to deal and live with.
On the occasion Leon needs it, he also carries around a dark blue jacket, one that matches the color of his slacks. This is normally used for formal attire, and for missions, although Leon normally carries this jacket over his shoulder where ever he goes. On the right side of the collar on the jacket is a small pin in the shape of a celtic cross, a design that leon has always favored to no end. Golden cufflinks, much like the color of his eyes, adorn the sleeves, while the buttons of the jacket are made of the same color and material.
When Leon is not wearing the jacket, his forearms are visible, as stated above. When one takes a good luck at his arms, they can notice the design of flames and a dragons head coming down from underneath the sleeves. These tattoos are on both arms, each one containing the head of a chinese dragon, that is visible at least. It is safe to assume that the tattoos continue up Leon's arms and around to his back, but noone has ever seen him shirtless long enough to confrim this suspicion.
The dragons head itself is a very intricate tattoo, blood red and black mixed in with gold makes up the scales that create the dragon itself, while its eyes remain a brilliant emerald green. Under the flames, which reside on the top of the forearm, are kanji. Not many have gotten close enough to see the underside of Leon's forearm, but those who have can attest to their nature. The Kanji symbolize two words, 'Trust', and 'Honor'. The origin of these tattos is unknown to everyone Leon comes in contact with, but it is assumed that they are there to remind him of a past mistake.
Leon's facial expression does, like most humans, change with his mood, however his most constant expression is one of sorrow. One that seems to say 'I wont let you, but I wish it could be different.' Beyond this however, Leon has a smile that could seemingly light up a room, especially when his golden eyes are included in the mix. Coupled with his school uniform, Leon is a very unnerving person to meet smiling, as he throws off all assumptions based upon any report that one may have heard about him.

Leon is human. That being said, it is assumed that he has many emotions, and expresses them accordingly. While this would be an accurate description, Leon isn’t exactly normal with the way he expresses his emotions.
There are many different sides to be seen of Leon; a kind caring side, a sadistic cruel side, a sad side, and many more, just like most human beings. By putting himself in the wrong situations however, despite them being accidental, Leon has managed to see more hurt and pain than he would have liked too in his short life.
After receiving his notification on becoming the 11th Vongola Boss, Leon began to shut himself inside himself, locking away emotions and thoughts that he thought were unnecessary. By becoming a loner, he planned to take on the weight of the world, as that’s what he had been doing for the past few years. Trust no one, live alone, thats how Leon survived once he left Kumogakure.
However, bottling up all his emotions wasn’t good for Leon, and he began to develop an explosive temper. It started with a sizzling boiling in his gut, and then explodes from there. However, after a year of practice and meditation, Leon managed to control this temper and seal it away. However, it still erupts on the occasion, worse than it ever was. Not many know what exactly happens to trigger such a reaction, but most agree that it is best to avoid Leon in this state.
To counter act the temper however, Leon has managed to develop a kind and calm personality, one that seems to ooze calm around others. He does truely care for people, whether he has met them or not, and feels a sort of kinship to most people he meets. He is ver empathetic, which means that he can feel others pain, their sorrow, happiness and anger. While this is normally a good thing, the mood still affects Leon greatly, and should the feeling be large enough, his mood will change to match. Misery loves company after all.
Leon can also be sarcastic, very sarcastic in fact. Most people, he had learned, don’t understand sarcasm well, so when Leon IS sarcastic, his voice oozes the feeling, so much that it could suffocate some people. That being said, he is only sarcastic to idiots mostly, or people who ask dumb questions.
Another quirk about Leon, is despite his temper and calmness, he lacks the ability to let something go for a short while, constantly reminding the person in question about it and stabbing them with the idea or concept he has latched onto until they finally crack. This is the only way that Leon has found to get a point, a serious point at least, driven into people’s skulls. If being an ass doesn’t work, Leon switches to sarcasm, and then to like he is talking to a mentally retarded person if the situation calls for it.
He also has an affinity for finding things in his pockets that werent there before. It is a subconcious habit really, things get picked up and absentmindedly pocketed while Leon strolls around and looks through areas and markets. He also seems to have an unsatiable craving for steak.

History:

Birth:
Leon’s birth has always been a mystery to him, one shrouded in secrets and lies, so deep that the truth would neevr be found until the correct time had come. From the minimal memories of his earlier childhood that Leon could remember, he assumed he was rich, or something to that nature. White, long halls and golden silverwear and chandeliors filled his memories a dreams, an aspect of a line he could no longer touch or remember. It was something that he had become accustomed to seeing in memories, although it had to be a dream.
From the tender age of five, Leon lived on the back streets and alleyways in Kumogakure, tended to by the older homeless people and the occasional passerby who gave him money. He never really had a home or a bed, always sleeping where ever he could find room. When it started to rain, or get colder out, he normally slept in tunnels carved out in the back of alleyways with multiple people crammed in there. It was disgusting, unsanitary, and by no means any way a person, or child, should live.
Childhood:
During his time in the back alleys, Leon stumbled across the ninja black market. Having already lived many, many years in the alleys, Leon was already a somewhat skilled pickpocket. Of course, he didn’t know that this was a ninja market, nor that everyone here was trained to kill at a pins drop. All he knew was that he was hungry, and these people here seemed to have a lot of money. A lot of money, more than Leon had seen in his entire life.
He never made it to one wallet or purse. Every single person he came across that seemed to be holding a lot of money, disappeared. Leon was astounded, amazed, and extremely disappointed. He had one last target, a man with white hair, extremely built, and was currently hitting on some women. An easy target, or so Leon thought.
Somehow, it was. So intent on picking up that women, Leon managed to grab the wallet and run. It was the start of a beautiful, and annoying friendship, although leon didn’t know it at the time. An hour of hiding later, leon was finally found by the man, who introduced himself as Riku. Extremely annoyed that he had missed his chance with that women, Leon had thought hat Riku was going to kill him. But upon further undeerstanding that Leon had no idea who he was, or what, or even what a ninja was, Riky decided to take Leon under his wing and train hium. If only he knew how much ofa time he was going to have with that.
RP Sample:
- Spoiler:
Koujetsu stared at the Jounin in slight awe in confusion, his mind racing along multiple and semi crossing paths trying to process what was said. Shaking his head, koujetsu accepted the hand that his teammate offered him, and processed his name carefully, storing it for future reference. “Aki.. Nice to meet you and Thank you. My name Is Hanagayu Koujetsu. Please don’t try and say all of it, it gives even myself a headache to pronounce my full name multiple times to new people. “
Looking over at the Jounin, Koujetsu took a better look at him, noting how the bench creaked and groaned under his weight. Obviously not nearly human gain at all, something he did to himself must have increased something in his body, but Koujetsu wasn’t sure what. His knowledge of biology was very limited, having preferred to avoid that path of study from an early age. He hadnt planned on savinglives after the experimentation, on look at all the medical work his masters had gone through and researched for even one of his forms gave koujetsu a migraine after reading the first paragraph. There was too much technical stuff in there, and the meaning of each word was multiple it seemed.
Now, though, it was about time he actually asked his Jounin some questions. Being a shifter himself, he was quite curious about permanent transformations like this one, although he had been advised against it, the process requiring a lot more pain than his seals did. Understandable really, after all, it was permanent. Deciding to hold of on questions the instant he opened his mouth, koujetsu changed his train of thought exceedingly quick, figuring that introducing himself to his enw team was probably the best way to start out.
“As I said before, my name is Hanagayu, Koujetsu. I currently am an apprentice to the Fuuinjutsu Masters who run the security at the casinos, and I hopefully can meet with the Kazekage for more training. Atleast, that’s what my masters tell me they will try to set up for me. Being old and senile as they are, I doubt they remember but that’s besides the point. I specialize in Fuuinjutsu especially, the entire subject is so broad that its so intriguing to create new things with it. The ability to amek them do nearly anything is astounding in my eyes. Beyond that, I am the subject of the masters experimenation plan that was completed a few years back, which I assume that our sensei would be familiar with. It seems like he might have had a hand in the emdical aspects of this project.”
Koujetsu finished speaking and looked over at his teammate. “Of course, you will be filled in later due to being on my team. The masters are trying to keep it hush hush, but theres no chance that you wont find out after we go on a mision. That being said, I don’t like talking about it, and would prefer to show what the experimentations conclusion has wrought.”
Turning back to the Jounin, Koujetsu finally opened up his mouth to say what had been on his mind for the entire monolouge he had just preached. Of course, it was about to come out completely juvinile and childlike, but he couldn’t help it. This was something that people described to their children in storybooks, as the result of magic or something like that. Despite the fact that Koujetsu had to sneak into the library to find these books so he could understand what the children were talking about, he didn’t let that dampen his spirits at all.
“SO COOL! Sensei, howd you do that? Did it hurt? Did you do that to yourself? Whats it like having that type of body? Could you do something like that to me?” Catching his breath, Koujetsu blushed slightly and brushed his white hair out of his face, staring at the jounin intently with red eyes. It was times like these that he really wished he had atleast looked into the medical field, but a quick flashback of the original scroll for his abilities that his masters had squashed that thought in an instant. It was slightly embarrassing for him to go all child-like at the moment, but the sheer awesomeness that koujetsu felt while being on a team as someone like this easily counteracted that feeling.
