FAMILY:

Father: Leo Giorgio Lucia, Sr. (38)
Mother: Lori Stephanie Kirk (38)

HISTORY:

Leo Giorgio Lucia Jr. was born on a cold December morning in 1995, to a mother that appeared totally alone. And, for the most part, that was exactly Lori Kirk's situation. The father of her child, who she named said baby after, was not the type of man a young woman would want to have a child with. Leo Sr. was, in general, the wrong guy to know. In and out of trouble with the law since he was a teenager, he'd been introduced to the mother of his child through her older brother, who ran with Leo Sr.'s type of crowd. And it was just over a year until Lori found herself mostly alone with newborn Leo.

She did her best to give Leo a stable life. And in some situations, it might have been possible. But Leo's father was locked up for various minor crimes through his childhood, coming home every now and then, and that became Leo's understanding of him. He never really knew him. As he got a bit older, when he came around and left again, Leo would ask about him, but because his mother had about as much knowledge of Leo Sr.'s exact whereabouts as her son did, there was never an answer. After a visit just after Leo's 6th birthday, Leo Sr. stopped calling altogether, and that was that.

The years living alone with his mother understandably caused them to form a special bond. They were extremely close, despite the fact that she had to work long hours to support them and they didn't have much time together during the week. Growing up in a less than perfect neighborhood was hard for him, not being able to live the idyllic life all parents want for their children. He was small as a kid, just littler than most of his classmates for most of his childhood. Therefore, he was picked on, shoved around in the hallways, generally targeted. Leo didn't know how to fight back. It was unwise. So he simply did not act. He took it. And occasionally Leo would complain of little ailments, stomach pain and headaches, some days anything to avoid having to go to school. But his mother couldn't do a thing. There was nobody to watch him at home.

Leo's situation didn't change for years. It was him and his mother until the early summer before 9th grade, when she came down with a bad case of pneumonia and had to be hospitalized. She arranged for her older sister, Leo's aunt, to take him in for the duration of her stay. Leo enjoyed it for much of the summer, living in middle-class suburbs with his aunt and uncle and cousins over the city. But after month, he began to worry. Why would his mother be in the hospital for so long? The part of his mind now dedicated to suspicion and anxiety wondered if maybe something was secretly going on. In no time at all, the concern turned to anger. Maybe she'd left him, just like his father.

Leo waited for another several weeks without an answer. If he asked about his mother, he got, well, almost nothing. She finally came in late August, but she didn't bring news Leo wanted to hear. She told him, very gently, that she had come to the conclusion that he would be better off going to school away from home. Leo couldn't make himself accept those conditions. Because, once again, a parent was leaving him. The circumstances were very different, and somewhere Leo knew his mother was only trying to help him, but he didn't try to see it that way.

The next two years were hell for everyone around Leo. Even Leo himself. He was angry with nearly everything. He refused to take orders from his guardians. He found a rougher crowd to hang out with. He followed their lead, and didn't make many other friends. His teachers couldn't get a word out of him. Then there was the concern. Oh yes, everyone was concerned. His aunt and uncle made him start seeing a therapist, who decided the boy wasn't fine. He said he knew how to help. But as he described what he believed was going on with Leo, and how he could treat him? Leo would have none of it. And he found that they couldn't make him go to the therapist's office; as long as he was nowhere to be found when he was meant to go, he didn't go. Leo didn't want their pity or their help.

Leo's last year there was even worse than the one before. He was old enough to find himself experimenting more in the little group of misfits he'd found, generally misbehaving, and while Leo wasn't always bold enough to take part in the more adult activities of his older friends, he was around it. But for his aunt and uncle, who hadn't dealt with this before with their own sons, it was far worse than Leo could ever see it as. They consulted his mother, who was at just as much of a loss as they were. It was the therapist who suggested boarding school. And all through their hushed conversations, all through their admissions of exhaustion and comments about how they couldn't deal with their little misfit, Leo was away, but fully aware. It was immediately after 10th grade that they chose the landing spot for Leo and all of the issues they just couldn't resolve, leaving the boy a bitter, angry one.

APPEARANCE:

Leo is not an imposing figure, only about 5'9" and thin. He's nowhere near skin and bones, a bit of muscle tone here and there, but still, generally, not too impressive. He has thick, dark blonde hair that he normally keeps a bit shorter. His eyes are a bright blue color, not that he spends too much time letting people see. As for style, Leo doesn't pay much attention to it. He likes simple things. Nothing to attract attention or give people the wrong idea about him. He's not dangerous, he just wants to be left to himself.

LIKES:

[/b]

-Being left alone. He doesn't feel he can rely on people anymore.
-Causing trouble without attracting attention.
-Feeling understood. It's an interesting position for him to be in. He appreciates when others are understanding, but he doesn't want anyone to know him too well.
-Writing. Mainly, about his own frustration. About his resentment towards his family. Sometimes directly to his parents. Not that anyone ever sees.
-People who mind their own business. Obviously, it all goes back to him being left alone.

DISLIKES:

-His family. He feels they've all abandoned him because he was an inconvenience.
-Doing as he's told. Rules aren't his thing.
-Being the victim.
-School. It's only ever been hell for him.
-Doctors. Therapists. He doesn't think they care about his well-being at all; just fixing him enough to get him easy to deal with.
-People trying to help him. He never thinks they really want to help him. He just thinks they want information.
-Nosy people. Those who gossip. Anyone of the sort.

FEARS:

-Getting too close to someone and having them leave again.

-Having people know his mind too well. To have them find out about his problems.

SECRETS:

-He barely knows his father, and doesn't talk to his mother much anymore, leaving him pretty effectively orphaned in his eyes, though his parents are both alive and well.

-He acts as if he's proud to be a loner, proud to seem a bit dangerous. He sometimes wishes he was different, but his pride keeps him from dropping the act. He only uses it to protect himself from getting close to people again.

-He has some abandonment issues, though he pretends he knows nothing of it. He doesn't discuss why he has them with anyone. But they're certainly there.

GOAL:

-To have the same reputation at Daze that he had at his old schools.

-To keep everyone at a safe distance. He doesn't want close friends, he doesn't want connections that he can disappoint later. He also fears he'll develop attachments when he believes that nothing good can last forever.
