~ Rules & Random Facts ~


- No posting in here please. If you have any questions about what you see here, feel free to PM me! ^^
- You're welcome to contact me via IM to plot and/or RP. I tend to be on at odd times since my timezone is 12-15 hours ahead of the US.
- I generally consider most events taking place over IM or in the Main Thread to be in an alternate universe and separate from 'reality' in the guild, save for a few exceptions. =3
- AIM - gwingsquee, MSN - gwing_squee[@]hotmail.sg ---> minus the brackets (please let me know who you are if you add me! ^^)

- I'm open to both plotted RPs and spontaneous ones.
- Please don't be offended if I reject your character or plot idea. It rarely happens since I'm open to most things, but it is certainly nothing personal. ^^
- Please be patient with me. I can be slow at times due to RL and a muse who has a tendency to misbehave. orz

- Lea's posts will always be made in this colour. =3

All You Need to Know About Lea and How He Looks Like


Name: Lea Snowdrop
Race: Human
Position: Mononoke (Snow Leopard)
Stage: Witchling
Gender: Male
Age: 20

Height: 5' 6"
Body Build: Lean with Celtic type skin
Hair: Dark brown hair that is cut short in this manner and has a tendency to stick out in all places post-shower or after a good night's sleep.
Eyes: Pale green

Fashion: Lea mainly prefers the colours blue, brown, black, violet, white and red. Colours that he would avoid like the Black Plague would include yellow, orange, green and pink. He also has a tribal design bracelet made of stainless steel and rubber worn on the right wrist.
Extra: Has the ears as well as tail of a Snow Leopard

Lea's Tea Ingredients:
- Yuki-onna's Kiss - Strong Ice Elemental Theme
- Snow Flower - A flower that blooms in the snow. It is white and fuzzy, with crystalline droplets
- Dragonsbane - Often used in potions and herbology. It has a sense of ferocity and strength!
- Moondrop - A graceful and mysterious gem that at times appears liquid
- Torn Butterfly Wings - Fragile, graceful, and broken
- Star Fruit - A sweet and sour exotic fruit

Ability Concentration/Theme: Lea's magic is focused mainly around ice elemental manipulation as well as physical enhancements (when he is in his snow leopard form). He has a natural affinity for offensive spells, most of them involving the shaping of ice into various different forms from simple icicles that can be used as projectiles or for close range combat to small-medium animals that embody his will to blizzards with devastating area effects as his magic powers develop with time. He is also able to alter the property of ice at will and use it as a barrier for protection or to entrap his enemies in. His powers, however, are limited largely by his majin nature in that he will need to feed on the powers of another witch should he drain himself too quickly through the use of more powerful spells. A fact that he himself is too painfully aware of and as such, he has a tendency to refrain from using them as far as possible lest he runs the risk of exposing himself or going on a frenzy and possibly endangering those around him. As a snow leopard, Lea gains additional strength, speed as well as the ability to leap to great heights and climb precarious ledges that wouldn't be possible for a human to achieve.

Lea's Personality and Hobbies


Personality:
Stickler for Rules and a Strong Sense of Justice
Protocols, policies, standards of procedures, rules. Lea believes that all of these have been created to maintain order in society and should be followed to the T. If something should be done in a certain manner because a rule says so, that's how it should be done. No ifs, ands or buts about it. He absolutely loathes unfairness and will therefore feel compelled to intervene whenever he sees any kind of injustice taking place around him, be it cheating, bullying or fighting for instance. He has a strong desire to protect the weak, vulnerable, down-trodden and under-represented, and willingly protects others even if it is going to be at his own expense.

Intelligent
A bright child, Lea has never had problems with his academics in school. He is perceptive, has the uncanny ability to grasp new concepts faster than his peers and has even gone on to ace his classes a couple of times. Not one to hoard information, he is always all too happy to share his knowledge with his friends whenever they ask him for help.

Neat and Organized
One of the few things that Lea is almost obssessive compulsive about, is being neat and tidy. He takes great pride in being organized and knowing where everything is whenever he needs them, and has even taken it upon himself to clean up other people's messes on many occasions since he dislikes those with a passion.

Secretive
Lea doesn't like to talk much about his family or his past, not wanting people to take pity on his circumstances and start treating him differently. He is used to keeping all his problems, concerns and feelings bottled up within himself and is not very good at voicing out his opinion or expressing himself. He does however have a tendency to speak his mind when angry or provoked, and may even accidentally let slip some of the things that he never intended for anyone else to know.

Quick to Anger, Even Quicker if It Involves Family or Kitties
Lea has a short fuse. It doesn't take a lot to set him off into a boiling rage, especially when it involves speaking badly about his family or harming his feline friends. When Lea gets mad, he becomes a totally different person. No longer meek nor mild-mannered, he forgets about everything and curses, hisses, scratches, bites, even throws things if he gets pushed that far.

If I Didn't Ask for Your Opinion, Don't. Say. Anything.
Lea absolutely hates it when people start to offer what he refers to as "unsolicited" advice. He is stubborn and set in his mind about the way things should be done or placed, and will only consider other's opinions when he *asks* for them. If he thinks that A should be done before B then followed by C, he will do it that way and get very upset when people come and tell him otherwise, even if it may result in the process being more efficient.

Absent-minded
With so many things going on in Lea's mind most of the time, it is no wonder that he gets lost in them and occasionally forgets what he is doing or where he is going. This frustrates him to no end since it usually equates to spending time figuring out what he should be doing next or searching for things that he had accidentally misplaced. Time that could be utilized in a more productive manner in his opinion.


Hobbies:
Swimming
Lea enjoys swimming more as a leisure activity than as a competitive sport. The weightless feeling and buoyancy when one is in the water. The various techniques available to one's disposition. Apart from the overpowering chlorine smell that seems to cling to him like a second skin every time he goes to the pool, Lea really has no other gripes about the activity and always enjoys a good soak as well as a few laps at his own pace every other day, if not daily, before turning in for the day.

Taking naps
Lea sleeps a lot, usually an average of 10-12 hours a day not including the naps he takes as well. He gravitates towards being a heavy sleeper, and has a tendency to just roll over and go back to sleep even after someone had just gone through the trouble of waking him up. He also possesses the ability to sleep anywhere in any position. Supine, upright, slumped on a table or curled up on the floor. You name it, he's probably done it.

Cooking
Lea loves good food (it goes without saying that he's a meat lover ;D) and has even gone on to take it upon himself to prepare his own meals on a regular basis. His creations are usually not big on the presentation factor, but the smell and taste of them certainly beg to differ otherwise. He is a fussy eater and will not settle for anything less unless it is something that he has little to no control over such as food from the school cafeteria or a dish that someone else had cooked. It may sound ridiculous but Lea does get into a pretty foul mood whenever he has had something that tastes bad. He believes that every ingredient that makes up a dish would naturally taste good and that it is only the fault of the person putting together the resultant dish that can account for why it tastes so bad. He can get pretty critical about this but will usually hold his tongue unless the person in question is someone whom he is close to.

Lea's Biography


Biography:
Both Lea's parents as well as his younger sister Lottie, whose age differs from his by 2 years, were witches with slightly greater than average abilities but definitely human. One could probably say that Lea was a prodigy in the family. A rare talent that came about through a spontaneous genetic trait that had been latent previously perhaps. Noone, not even his parents, knew what he was. The signs were subtle but they were certainly there. Those almost unnatural green eyes of his when he was born, the way he mewed and purred with the cats as if they were his best friends although most of them seemed to fear him for some unknown reason more than half the time, the seemingly healthy obsession with meat when he was older.

It was only when Lea's mother found a snow leopard cub curled up on his bed on the morning of his 5th birthday as well as the grey-white ears and tail that remained after he awoke and reverted back to his human form when it suddenly dawned upon the family that Lea had been a mononoke all along. Their happiness was short-lived though. While they had been oblivious to Lea's nature and talent, a powerful Witch Eater who was familiar with the magical aura of a mononoke had already set his sights on the boy and had every intention of taking him from his home that very night. By force if necessary.

It was a dark and stormy night when he came. Lea's parents knew why he had come. They refused his demand like all good and protective parents would. Although Lea lacked the understanding as to what was transpiring before him, having watched the events play out from the entrance to his room, he understood the one word that his mother shouted out to him when she turned to toss a desperate look in his direction.

Run.

He allowed his instincts to take over there and then, not even realizing that he was gaining speed far more rapidly than he had ever in his entire life nor the fact that he was then running with 4 legs that were covered with soft spotted grey-white fur. He ran for what seemed like forever. A terrified child in a snow leopard cub's body without any idea of where he should go to or what he should do next.

It was by some great fortune that his heightened sense of smell brought him to the home of a kindly middle-age male Ars Lilium by the name of Kei who lived alone with his female feline familiar Lulu on the other end of Clarus Arbor. Cold, tired and hungry, Lea approached Lulu then, totally mistaking her for a normal cat as he mewled miserably while keeping what he deemed as a safe distance from Kei. Lulu and Kei had shot a look at each other briefly, coming to a wordless understanding that this was no ordinary snow leopard cub that had wandered its way onto their doorstep. The magical aura that was emanating from the creature was obvious to any experienced witch. Something had obviously gone terribly wrong with the way Lea was behaving towards them. It took a peace offering of piping hot beef stew, a warm fireplace as well as a large fluffy towel before Lea trusted Kei enough to decide that there was probably no harm in staying the night, especially since he was already spent for the day as he drifted into a dreamless sleep out of sheer exhaustion.

It was another couple of days before Kei and Lulu were able to piece together what little they finally managed to slowly and gradually coax out of Lea and figure out where he came from as well as what could have happened that fateful night. They even managed to track down where he lived but it obviously was already too late by then. The place was deserted and a huge mess, a blood-stained photograph lying forgotten on the floor the only evidence that confirmed that Lea and his family had been staying there until recently.

Kei knew he couldn't throw Lea out into the streets or turn him over to the authorities to make fostering arrangements. Lea might not be fully aware yet but Kei knew that he was subconsciously and carelessly siphoning mana from him during their daily contact. Something akin to a majin's constant need to feed on the magic of another, only that it didn't make sense since he was a mononoke and thus perfectly human. The choice was clear. Theirs was a very unusual relationship with young Lea trusting Lulu way more than he did Kei until the day when Lulu eventually lost her patience and decided to promptly inform him that she was a familiar and was *not* to be mistaken with nor treated as any other ordinary cat off the street, much to Kei's amusement and Lea's surprise.

Kei was a patient and good teacher. He might not be very familiar with ice elemental spells which Lea turned out to have an affinity for but the foundation for any form of magic was largely the same regardless, and that he made sure he taught him well. After a couple of months of research and discussion with a few close friends of his, he finally figured out what might have caused the phenomenon. A curse or to put it more specifically, a non-healing wound of the young witch's magic heart leading to a constant leakage of the young mononoke's magic and thus, giving rise to his 'hunger'. Very likely inflicted by the same witch eater who had targeted him. He never told the boy the entire time what this meant for him though, thinking that he would be ready once he graduated from the Academy subsequently and was a fully fledged witch. Instead, he only instructed Lea to always listen to his teachers, cautioned him to refrain from overtly straining himself when practicing with his magic and to always mix around with his classmates whenever he could. Shortly after Lea turned 18, Kei decided that he was ready and enrolled him into the Makai Royal Academy where he knew there would be people who could assist him in honing his powers further.
