Leonard has always dreamed of being the heroic warrior, standing alone in confrontation with a dragon or a demon. He wants to be the one to face that 'great evil' and save the princess. Such children's stories have always captivated his mind, even well after they had been told to him. He does his best to live out his fantasy through RPG videogames, where he can be that ferocious warrior he always dreamed about.

⌠ ＢＥＳＴ ＦＥＡＴＵＲＥ ⌡
Leo's best feature is ironically one of the things that bothers him about himself the most: his overall soft appearance. It may not prove to be effective at helping him make a first impression, it certainly does help in gaining the trust of others. It seems not many tend to keep their guard up when confronted with someone of a non-threatening appearance.
ＩＮＳＥＣＵＲＩＴＩＥＳ
As previously mentioned, Leo is incredibly insecure about his unassuming appearance. While he is closing in on his final year of college, he is often still mistaken as a 16 or 17 year-old high school student. He fails to attract attention from just about everyone and even his own family seems to subconsciously ignore him. When his assistance is required, nobody ever seems to fully trust his abilities in what they are doing, no matter what it is.
To other people, right off the bat, it seems as though he is just a weak-willed person and he always seems to have to prove them wrong if he wants to get anywhere with them. That is, assuming they even humor him in the first place...
⌠ ＧＥＮＥＲＡＬX ＡＰＰＥＡＲＡＮＣＥ ⌡
A tall and lanky 6 feet but with little mass in him to back it up, leaving him looking rather frail. He has messy, dark brown hair with a pair of bright, baby blue eyes, accented by his soft-looking, pale skin. Seemingly all of his features, save for his height, give him a child-like appearance, however his gentle lips arguably cause him the most trouble in this respect.

Ladies and gentlemen, holder of the world's most genuine frown: Leo Hardwick
He is a man of few words, adapted through his introverted tendencies and shaped like blacksmith's steel thanks to the passive efforts of those who made sure he would stay an introvert. He does not mind though. In fact, Leo enjoys his alone time. Sure, it gets lonely from time-to-time but the feeling goes away easily enough.
Being alone allows him to think and being able to think allows him to find his own way through any mess he gets into. Not only that, his consciousness is his most prized form of entertainment in his possession.
Leo is the type of person who has a conscious heart, even if it does not appear present. He speaks the coldest truths to the ones he loves most and does not care how he is perceived. At a glance, he may not seem to truly care about other people in general but the reality is actually quite the opposite. While he may seem distant and merciless when it comes to others, he is quick to come to someone's aid when it matters most. Unless he has been personally wronged, what he says to people is often what he believes to be for their own good.

- Video Games: "Yeah, you can watch your movies and you can watch your crappy 'E News' bullshit, talking all about other people nobody even cares about all you want. Me? I'm going to choose who I want to be and pick whatever world I want to live in to top it off."
- The Internet: "...HAHAHA! YOU-..YOU ACTUALLY WANT ME TO EXPLAIN THAT?"
- Intellectual Thinking: "Alright, I know it sounds a bit weird, but I actually enjoy pondering on the behavior of others and why we act the way we do. Hell, why we're here in the first place is something that really gets the gears turning too.
- Food: "Alright, I know everyone says they love food and I'm far too skinny to be even a little convincing when I-like all the others-say 'no, I'm different, I REALLY LOVE FOOD', but hear me out. I can down, like, three boxes of Kraft-mac in a single sitting...It usually messes with my system quite a bit-but I'm just saying."
- Energy Drinks: "I can't stand the taste of coffee and, before you suggest it, no, I'm not one of those Monster-Doritos gamer zombies that only play COD and whatever other mediocre crap they shovel out these days. I mainly drink 'Rip Its'. By the can they're about as cheap as water, they taste much better to me, and only ONE of the flavors give me the squirts. I dunno, an Iraq vet owns the convenience store down the street, so he sells them even though military personnel are generally the only ones who partake, and he got me to try 'em. Haven't looked back ever since."
- 'Lilly': "-OH MY GOD, THAT JUST CROSSED SO MANY LINES. THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"
- Music: "I've a fondness for a harder electronic sound, personally."

- Beating Around The Bush: "I can't stand it. Seriously, my HUGEST pet peeve is definitely people, y'know, dancing around what they want to say or even generally acting indirectly. I'm the kind of guy who goes to the store with a specific mission in mind and it just angers me to no end-being forced to stand around while whoever you're with spots the jean isle from-friggen-MILES AWAY and all of the sudden burst out with something like, 'OH! SO-AND-SO WOULD LOOK FAN-FRIGGEN-TASTIC IN THAT! I NEED TO STAND IN FRONT OF IT FOR ANOTHER HOUR DECIDING IF I ACTUALLY WANT TO BUY IT OR NOT!'"
- Primal Mentalities: "Y'know that asshole who just annoys you for no reason? The one that just simply doesn't like you? Yeah, you know him. Maybe the chick like that too. They've got their heads so far up their own asses that they've stopped acting so socially restless since they no longer have to look at their pathetic lives in the mirror anymore. It's their natural drive to be 'alpha' that makes them so painful to deal with and I hate it so much. No worries though, most of them have either already hit their facade-shattering wall or it's coming. People like me, who actually GO to school to learn and actually GET a decent job are the real alphas."
- Pop-culture: "Kids my age are always so obsessed with being an individual that they don't even realize how much like everyone else it makes them. They watch their E News-they blog on their Tumblr's-and all fantasize about people because they want to be them and then they all look at each other-they see each other all doing the same exact thing they're doing-and they say, 'WOW! You're a special individual too?! What a goddarn miracle! Lets go look down on other people for not conforming to what WE see as normal!' I don't know if that makes me a hipster or what, but I don't care. Call me whatever you like."

⌠ＱＵＩＲＫＳ ＆ ＨＡＢＩＴＳ⌡
Leo bites his fingernails if they get to a point at which one would call them a normal length. This results in him constantly not having any untrimmed nails.
His mind is ALWAYS wandering. If you have not captured his attention after he gives it to you, you're going to need a pretty strong net...
He will sometimes nibble on his finger while thinking.
If he loses himself in thought, he will stare at whatever he was previously looking at.
⌠ ＳＴＲＥＮＧＴＨＳ ⌡
Creative Leo has the creative prowess to be able to mentally entertain himself on command for long periods of time. His mind for creativity is present in every aspect of his life.
Quick Learner Leo is adaptable when it comes to knowledge and enjoys learning things about a number of different subjects.
⌠ ＷＥＡＫＮＥＳＳ⌡
Socially Awkward Leo is not necessarily anti-social. In fact, he almost always has to initiate conversations because of the fact that not many people pay attention to him. However, he still has very little experience in social situations.
Stubborn Leo is not someone who relents to other people simply because they asked. He is the type to hold a grudge until the day he dies.
⌠ ＦＥＡＲＳ⌡
His own incompetence
Uncontrollable situations (riding roller coasters, for example)

His own incompetence

Leo grew up in a suburban town in Pennsylvania not too far North along I-476 from Philadelphia. His rather unassuming appearance has often led to him being overlooked in just about every way and practically raised him to be a loner and actively seek his separation from others. While this has not helped in developing friendships or any sort of active social life, it effectively forced him to ponder his future more than the social butterflies his age and develop his mind as best as he could. Ever since he was little, his lack of influence had driven him to subconsciously crave the ability to prove his worth, leading him to often fantasize about being the big hero and stepping up where others would not.
Despite never achieving great scores in school, as homework never effectively caught his attention, Leo was able to nail his most important exams and earn himself an acceptance letter to Penn State. While he had to save up for two years after graduating high school, he-with help from his parents-was able to pay the amount needed to study. As of three years later, he is currently finishing up his studies to earn a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, with aspirations to work as a programmer.
