Backstory
The Beginning
Leon Jou was born in South Korea during a trip his parents were taking to allow his father, Jou Dae-won, to visit his parents. His father was of Korean descent, and his mother, Regina Enciso, was of Hispanic descent. Leon had one brother by the name of Adam Jou, who was seven years Leon's elder when Leon was born. Leon lived with his family in the US. His upbringing was not an especially happy one; although he was ignorant as a toddler to the terrible things surrounding the family, as he grew into a child, he began to notice that his mother's apparent tidiness and prescribed medications were not as they seemed. Dae-won was an angry man, and a coward. Rather than working late shifts, it was revealed to Leon that their father was an alcoholic, and that Dae-won was constantly going to the casino to blow their money and get drunk. By the time Leon was four years old, he was noticing how forceful Dae-won was with his mother, constantly putting his hands on her when he assumed the children weren't looking. Soon, this abuse caused Regina to become addicted to her medications and begin misusing them. From a young age, Leon grew to despise his father.
It wasn't long before a pecking order was established in the home. Regina, at the bottom, and Dae-won, at the top. Somewhere in-between the children fell, and this caused constant bickering and fighting to the point of punches and cuts between the brothers. Regina, caught within in the hell her husband orchestrated, desperately wished to provide for her boys, and stayed at Dae-won's side for as long as she could, weighted by how poor she and her boys would be if they left, especially considering her drug addiction. It wasn't until Dae-won was arrested at the casino for aggravated assault that she began to file the divorce papers. After the divorce, Regina continued to struggle to provide for the boys, and although Adam attempted to help their mother where he could, he was still considerably young. Regina unfortunately ended up overdosing on her medications later that year. By the time Leon was eight years old, he and his brother were entirely alone. Dae-won did not take custody for the boys; instead, they were placed into a foster home. Leon preferred it this way.
Meeting Aaron Lister
Leon settled into the foster home about as well as could be expected. He had been very close to his mother, and still grieving for his loss, he did not open up to his foster family. His brother, Adam, who was fifteen at this time, opted to leave his kid brother in the dust and focus on giving himself a better future. A few months passed, and Adam was officially adopted by an outside family, marking the point in which Leon and his brother officially lost contact.
Making it difficult to be adopted, Leon's hard-headed attitude and tendency to break the rules with little remorse caused the foster family to continue postponing Leon a chance for adoption. Other children came and went; some of the children seemed to have a forever home in this household. One of the children who was taken into the foster home was a Caucasian boy with Tourette's Syndrome named Aaron Lister. Aaron's parents had put him into the foster home when they found that they could not provide for their son. A level-headed and intelligent boy of nine, his unrelenting kindness towards Leon rapidly founded a friendship and seemed to alleviate Leon's bad behavior...to some extent. Children who picked on Aaron for his disability often received a black eye, bloody nose, or other minor injury from Leon. A new pecking order was established, and Leon and Aaron surely were not at the bottom.
Aaron helped Leon with his English, and Leon continued to pursue Korean out of sheer fascination with the language. The boys became inseparable. The foster family was afraid to separate the boys, thus prolonging Aaron's own chances at adoption, to some extent. However, when the time came, Aaron was given that chance. He received much positive feedback. Leon, afraid that he would lose Aaron to these families, asked to make a package deal. Aaron agreed: If Aaron was to be adopted, then Leon would be adopted, as well. The positive feedback began to dwindle, but Aaron did not falter in his ambitions. Eventually, the foster home decided to shuffle the two boys to another location with hopes they would find success there.

Social Aspect
RP Hooks/Traits
- Leeches! - Loh'kar is a leech. Specifically, a marine leech! Of his thirty-two teeth, three of them are large and leech-like.
- Scavenger Method - Loh'kar typically waits for Arahk'ne and Myx'ulas to clean the bones of his to-be meals. He typically will only eat dead things. He never leaves traces behind.
- Calcium is Good For You. - Loh'kar consumes the skeletons and bone marrow of his prey. He may repurpose the bone shrapnel for various means. The amount of calcium he regularly ingests is ridiculous.
- Visage of Death - The Opal is the first Crystal which Xi'on made; it is also the strongest, as a Master Crystal. However, Loh'kar's own cowardice dampens its potential.
- Shapeshifter! - Loh'kar constantly evolves through melting and reshaping his innards, although his hearts remain unchanged. No magic is required for his shapeshifting; the Biolacex blood makes this easy. Quite the perk!
- Structure Fanatic - Loh'kar has a strong appreciation for sound structure in general. He likes to see how things work, and likes to find power in the little things working together to build one big powerful thing. Skeletons are a fine example of this.
- (Vomits in Defiance) - Loh'kar can't seem to hold his stomach contents in combat. Phase I Anticoagulation causes rapid tissue necrosis. Phase II Anticoagulation is bile-based and may contain undigested bone shrapnel. Phase III Anticoagulation utilizes the Opal's magic, and both his jaw ink and stomach acid. It instantaneously bleaches bone and is fueled by calcium.
- Icky - The Maruloix culture closely associates slime with death. Between the thin veil of mucus on his skin and the necrotic ink that leaks from glands in his jaw, Loh'kar is considered an acute harbinger of death. So unattractive!
- Multilingual - Loh'kar's first language is Korean with his second being English. Following these, he is also somewhat versed in: Spanish, Maruloix-Central, Mariianite, and a tiny bit of Syren.
- Chaotic Evil - Loh'kar has had it up to here with life in general. His moral compass is shattered and remains unstable. He almost takes pride in the suffering of others, like it's become a feat of his in his constant battle with the living.
- The Undertow Civilization's "Wedding Ring." - Loh'kar didn't give Arahk'ne an engagement ring, and he and his fiancé would not have wedding rings when married. Instead, a cultural enchantment is placed upon the to-be-weds. It appears as a rune over the left ring finger on either couple. When the knot is tied, the rune changes form, and becomes a bioluminescent tattoo directly on the heart's right atrium, traveling the length of the vena amoris. (This tattoo is visible most clearly in the dark.)
- Not Only Bones! - Loh'kar has a ravenous appetite. When he isn't busy eating the skeletons of dead things, he often feasts on just about any food he can find. He tends toward orange juice, cartons of milk, burgers, several plates of fries, and traditional Korean dishes when he can get away with it.
- Three Hearts? - Loh'kar, much like an octopus, has three hearts. However, only one is well-functioning; the second is weak, and the third is petrified.
- Can't Smell Anything. - Loh'kar's olfactory nerve is weak due to the built-up ink in his skull. This is one of the reasons why he sticks to being a scavenger.
- Breathing Carcass - The AoE effect of the Opal forces those on the brink of death to "remain stuck in never-ending, dying paralysis." Unfortunately for its Crystal Guardian, this includes him, as well.
- Four-Eyes - Loh'kar has two anterior and two posterior eyes. The posterior eyes have 360° vision and a chameleon effect.
- Say What You Mean! - Loh'kar is infamous for speaking his mind. He can be extremely crass and rude without giving it much thought.
- Numb to the Feeling - Loh'kar's nerve endings are damaged due to the constant internal rearrangement. Although they do work, it takes immense pressure for him to register touch. He is entirely numb to pain.
- Soaked! - Loh'kar needs water on his skin every twelve hours minimum.
- Flirtatious Scoundrel - Loh'kar doesn't seem to care that he is a walking-talking borderline lich. Although he will not be flirtatious with everyone, he seizes every single opportunity to fawn over Arahk'ne and appeal to her good nature. He will attempt to seduce his lovely queen, apple of the forbidden tree, guilty pleasure, incarnate of perfection, darling little poet.
- Danger Noodle. - Loh'kar's movement and combat style is visually similar to Chameleos from the Monster Hunter© genre. Example can be found here.
