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.

The Web's Ploy

Meeting Sonnet

A child psychologist by the name of Rebecca Orchid approached this second foster home nearly a year after Aaron and Leon had arrived. She claimed that the city had granted her a scholarship, allowing her to study the psychological effects an alternative schooling method would have on a child without certain parental reinforcement present, and she meant to make use of it. She was to take any children between ages 7-15 with her back to an institution, located by the river on the outside of the city. There, she would provide the children a basic education as an alternative means to schooling. It would come at free cost: They would be given food, clothing, and shelter, all for no cost. The only catch was that the children had to remain on campus until the classes ended each quarter. The foster home decided to take Rebecca up on this offer, giving the children a week's notice to volunteer for the on-campus experience. Aaron was eager to go, whereas Leon was against the idea of more schooling. In the end, Aaron's desire won out, and the two boys, along with a gaggle of other children, were taken away to this facility. The first sector was home to the children, and the second sector, which was off-limits regularly to the children, was the research vicinity.

Leon quickly made himself a name among these other children on campus. Now ten years old, he seemed to hold some amount of power within the social circle, and soon had a mini-army behind him. He took decent care of himself, and seemed knowledgeable enough; though his partner-in-crime Aaron was more the brains to his brawn. It was "get on my team, or you're a loser" for these kids, and Leon was the ringleader. Reveling in the feeling of power he'd not been prone to before, it gave him an unhealthy ego boost, which Aaron helped to keep in check. Aaron continued to try and help other children get into their social circle, in spite of Leon's objections.

Leon's path in life was permanently altered when he met Sonnet Baxter. An itty-bitty five-year-old girl with Albinism, Sonnet was a mysterious girl whom was receiving special attention from the scientists and was not a part of the schooling process. She would be dropped off with the other children during the day, and be brought out at night. At some point during Aaron's trips to assist Rebecca with carrying heavy boxes of papers and books, he came across Sonnet and attempted to befriend her. In time, he managed to coax her into becoming his little duckling, and big-brother Aaron pulled Sonnet into the social circle, much to Leon's dismay. Sonnet's Selective Mutism was an easy target for Leon's bullying, and Leon did not have an interest in adding any children below the age of eight to his group. Leon found Sonnet a source to vent on; he would bully her, tormenting her until she grew upset or pulling creative pranks on her until Aaron would step in the way. He was shocked by Sonnet's determination to stay near the two of them despite all of this, and although she would not be vocal with him, Leon would listen to the things she had to say to Aaron.

Suspicions Rise

For about three months, the trio of children were fairly content. The schooling proceeded as usual, Aaron, Leon, and Sonnet like three peas in a pod. Sonnet had gotten herself her own room to stay in when she wanted to "spend the night with the big kids," under Rebecca's watchful eye. Aaron and Leon bunked together in one room, and for a time, Leon could think of no time he'd ever been happier, and safer.

This was not to last. The scientists on campus began to peel away pieces of the veil, in strategic ways, as to not cause alarm. The name "The Web" began to drift among the teenagers. Some of them would cross over to the scientific facility and never be seen or heard from again. Rebecca always said that their final tests were a success and that they were sent back to the foster home, and although this statement seemed genuine when coming from her, there were stories which could not line up a comprehensive picture. The air of something being very wrong became evident when a new batch of children who were brought into the institution were completely unsure of why they had been brought there, as it was certainly not for the sake of a "city-granted scholarship."

Soon, the children were growing hesitant to proceed in their schoolwork. Rebecca urged the children to continue participation, but when her instructions were not heeded, the other scientists stepped up. Misty Shore, Sophia Smith and Barry Smith, and the leading scientist and founder of The Web, Jeremy Chase, began to push for the children to continue down this volunteer path. Jeremy Chase presented the children with newfound information: "The Web is a research facility looking to further our progress in science and the way that we see genetics. We are currently studying a means to create a supersoldier serum. If you should be willing, the rewards would be tremendous. Those of you seeking a college life in the future, or a future home--those of you seeking a life of longevity and prosperity--Should you volunteer to participate in Project: MARIGOLD, you would be well-taken care of. I implore you to finish your schoolwork. And I implore you to volunteer for our Project in the meantime."

Although the pitch sounded pretty and voluntary, many of the children were not so gullible. When they continued in their ways, a dark shadow fell over the research facility. The children were no longer orphans in housing, but slaves in housing. More word began to spill from the veil, of how mindless abominations and spider-people lurked on the other side. The number of these Araneoids was growing, and the children began to fit two-and-two together. Every couple days, a few more children were involuntarily selected for the Marigold Serum to be tested on. Rebecca Orchid had been rendered powerless, and desperately tried to protect the remaining children. Out from under her nose, Aaron Lister was selected for testing--A hard loss for she and Leon.

Aaron caught word the night before of what was coming for him the next morning. When his attempts to explain the situation to Sonnet repeatedly failed, he gave up and instead turned to Leon. They had a heart-to-heart talk, and Aaron, looking Leon in the eye, made him promise to look after Sonnet, and make sure that nothing would happen to her, no matter what. Leon agreed, and together the boys convinced Sonnet to go to bed early. The stayed up for the rest of the night, enjoying their last few hours together as best they could, and attempting to devise a plan to get them all out of there. Due to the shortage of time, they could not formulate a solid plan, and mere ideas were left floating seamlessly. When morning came, the best bet they had was to use Aaron's silver tongue to save his skin, but unfortunately it wasn't enough. Leon and Aaron bid each other farewell, and Leon was left in the dust, separated from Aaron for the first and last time.

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.
