CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Information

Character Name: Leo Baskerville

foil
Canon: Pandora Hearts (Chapter 65)
Reference Link: Pandora Hearts Wiki: Leo Baskerville, Chains.

Character History: [ Super summarized version as Leo's story intertwines with 50 billion other people and I didn't want to drop a huge novel trying to explain it. I did add a few extra links to the reference section that might be helpful if you're not familiar with the universe of Pandora Hearts ]

Leo's life is rather complex because part of his existence is not his own. He is designated the next bodily successor for Glen Baskerville, the head of the Baskerville family. He carries both the internal voices and sometimes personality traits established by previous 'Glen's.

Leo's father died in an accident when he was very young, and later, his mother was devoured by a chain (see above for information). His childhood was spent in The House of Fianna, an orphanage, in Sablier. He spends a majority of his time developing an interest in books and music - both of which he uses to escape the fact that he is different than other children. He can see golden specs of the Abyss with his eyes. When he was younger, he kept his bangs exceptionally long so they would block out what he sees. This lasts until he gradually forms a friendship with Elliot Nightray, who offers him to be a servant. Elliot gives Leo glasses so he doesn't have to keep his bangs grown out.

They form a tight bond where they are honest and constantly protective of each other. Leo will easily pick up a gun to defend Elliot, even if he is horrible with it. Elliot won't think twice about pushing Leo out of the way of danger. The only person Leo actually cares about is Elliot, and he has no issues removing an obstacle in Elliot's way, whether it is someone else or himself. Bad luck follows Leo, however, and because of him, Elliot is badly wounded. To prevent him from dying, the voices of the previous Glens instruct Leo to save Elliot using a contract with the chain Humpty Dumpty, who tends to lash out and murder people throughout Elliot's life. Elliot represses these memories, but eventually this event comes to light, and Elliot, rather than make more people suffer and die, or feel guilty forcing someone to kill him rejects the chain and dies.

After losing his best friend and master, Leo loses it and Glen begins to take over. He goes into a self destructive mode that borders hysteria. He claims to want to destroy everything, and drop their world into The Abyss. It's only after a good punch from Oz and being reminded that Elliot wouldn't have wanted to see Leo like this does he remember what he really feels. Just as he's finally calming down, Jack uses Oz's body to impale Leo. This is the canon point which he's cloned from.

Personality: For the most part, Leo is running away from himself. He's reserved, quiet, and very level-headed, but he has a breaking and a boiling point which are quickly reached and rather explosive, turning into outright violence which he'll direct at people or objects with equal strength. He's truthful and observant without fear of calling others out on their mistakes, but he has a soft spot for similar personalities - those running away from something - and he'll accept them easier, often with kindness to their situations as long as they don't call him weird by any means. He has a very wide range of emotions, but they're usually extremes. I would not be surprised if some of the previous Glens' memories don't leak into the cloning process and complicate things further.

Writing Sample/Survey

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Leo, even though I'll lose that name to 'Glen' eventually.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
They would be helpful, proper, and warm.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Generally, I prefer silence to a lot of chatter unless I'm prompted for an answer to a question or someone's raging in the same room and I need to correct him. It isn't uncommon that I'm quiet for long periods of time while reading a good book so those periods are probably longest.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
I wouldn't be surprised; Everyone has their own agenda. Being suspicious of their intentions only matters to me if they plan to hurt someone I care about.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
... I know a Rabbit and a Raven that need to settle down.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
No. I can act if needed. It's better for me to things clearly and be rational about what needs to be said or done.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
I prefer a spoon.

08. Do you trust yourself?
No, but I'm tired of hiding.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
Out of necessity, I murdered a whole city in another life, but the worst thing I've done is lead to Elliot's death. It's my fault. All my fault... I don't want to talk about it anymore.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
No one else but Elliot. I know someone else who would say he does, but he barely knows me.
