Background:
Born on the planet Coal in 6083 to two unlikely parents, a male wolf and a female Coalwren, so with the Coalwren being the matriarchal society that they are, his mother was very tough on him and his father being a wolf didn’t make life any easier, neither parent being the nurturing parent that a child needed to be stable.  So, Leon grew up with a very strong propensity to proving dominance and it has stuck with him to this day.  Leon has a soul gem as per his Coalwren heritage, but has had it surgically grafted to his chest since his inherent magnetism isn’t quite strong enough to hold it in place.

When Leon was only about 10, his father, who was also a mercenary, went on a mission and never returned.  Shortly after his mother and 10 year old son were visited by a hooded man in the dead of night and the hooded man brought the body of her fallen husband back to be buried properly with all the dignity that a man should have.  Before his father was buried, Leon took his father’s claws and mounted them on a necklace that he never takes off, even as he sleeps.  Shortly after the burial of his father, his mother began to mellow out to the point of depression and succumbed to the depression and all the doctors could figure was she had died of a broken heart about the time Leon had finished his Soul Search at age 14.

Before the burial of his mother, he took quite possibly the most important memento that any Coalwren possesses, her soul gem and added it to his necklace which he proudly displays around his neck.  Having nothing left on Planet Coal and his soul search complete, which laid out his destiny for him, took his father’s ship, the Mijolnir and made his way to the Fraternity of Mercenaries, his search telling him that was where he was meant to be.  He has since become well known as a mercenary that will take any job provided the money is to his liking and as long as his targets are not Coalwren or Wolf.  He swore when leaving Coal that he would never harm either of his parents races, no matter what the cost.  Shortly after his first assignment for the fraternity, he found himself on Planet Bliss, on one of the delightful beaches when one of the prettiest females he had seen and the two had decided to keep in contact, Leon promising to return to Bliss to see her on his way back from every mission.

This went on for several years and he had been faithful to her until one late summer evening when he stopped at her home and knocked with a single rose for his Lina.  The door opened and a young man answered the door and his eyes widened as his Lina strode to the door and hugging him before locking eyes with Leon.  Rage boiled over in him and he lashed out at the boy, cutting his throat in a single swipe and turning his back to Lina without a word and leaving Bliss, tossing the rose in the pooling blood and swearing to never to return to Bliss, a promise that he has kept to this day, and has sworn an undying hatred for all Blissians, wanting nothing more to do with them than he can possibly help, often going to the Barrakians for his weapons and upgrades for the Mjilnor.

He has mainly dealt with the black market and just about every black market arms dealer knows him on sight and knows of his hatred of Blissians.  Ever heard the term, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”  Yeah, he’s got a few good friends.  His name often floats around as one of the best hired guns money can buy.

Personality:
Angry by nature and always ready to fight, Leon is reckless and tends to not care what consequences his actions yield. While his wolf nature makes him fiercely loyal to his friends, family and to a lesser degree, his parents respective races, there is an emphasis on "fiercely". Also should be noted that he will not hesitate to turn on one of his own kind if that person pisses him off one way or another.

Leon can handle using any gun given to him, but prefers to use his claws and daggers to do his dirty work, but it varies based on his mission.  If it's a stealthy mission, he'll use his guns.

Abilities:
1.) Feral Call - The character with this ability can understand and use the complex howling language of the wild. It is a simple language and is only learned from family.

2) Night Vision - This character can see in the dark if there is at least .1 lumins worth of light in the area.

3) Majescent - This is the name of the Male Coalwren martial arts. It is frowned upon for a female coalwren to learn this art. However, it not only revolves around the male's unique tail, but also around the fact that the male plays a part of a two-person martial art. Really, the Coalwren designed two martial arts that, when a male and female Coalwren fight together, makes the two as one and thus four times as effective a fighter than a normal pair would be. Unfortunately, due to being wolf-like, this art is not as effective.

In this art, Leon has the equivalency of a 1st degree black belt on a good day.

4) Partial Soul Vision - While Leon does not have the second set of eyelids that Coalwren do, he does have the equivalent of Soul Vision as seen with astigmatism. The colors are faded and at best, he gets a vague idea of what the person is like. Mostly, their primary attribute

5) Basic Repair - Leon learned enough on ship care to keep it running long enough to get it to a repair bay should it be damaged. This is bare bones and some damage is just beyond his ability.


Weaknesses:
1) Carnivorous - This character can only eat meat. If the character eats something other than meat, they will get sick and possibly even die.

2) Infatuation - Attractive women turn Leon to putty. Unless the soul blaringly shows the woman to be nothing but bad news, he will be helplessly attracted to pretty women. The prettier, the more potent the effect.

3) Despises Blissians - Leon hates Blissians for reasons known only to him or those who know him very well and makes no bones about it. This gives him such a nasty reputation that most normal shop keepers won't even sell things to him. This negates the "Infatuation" weakness (He can not be attracted to Blissians).


Weapons:
1) Coalwren Paddle - A Paddle made by Purity as per Coalwren customs.

2) Dual Knives - Longer than the average knife, Leon carries a pair of large daggers that he prefers using, lest he mess up his paddle.

3) Guns…Lots of Guns – Aboard the Mjilnor, Leon has a rather large cache of weapons, including but not limited to:
Laser Pistols
Laser Sniper Rifle
Fully Automatic Machine Guns
Shotgun
Hand Held Blaster
Sub Machine Guns

Equipment:
1) Med Kit - For as excited as Leon gets about getting into dangerous situations, he's learned to carry a personnel Med Kit. Good enough for temporary patchwork until he gets to a hospital.

2) Whetstones - Must keep things sharp.

3) Mjilnor – Leon’s ship, inherited from his father, keeping the original name in remembrance of the father that he cared for.  This ship, while no battlecruiser is heavily armored for its size and heavily armed as well, though it does lack in speed for a ship its size.  Big enough to hold a prisoner, all of his weapons, a pilot and co pilot and sleeping quarters for both.
