(For the constellation Hercules)Personality: Raised on Alternian video games instead of properly socialized, Leeroi has developed a rather strange view of the world around him. He compares most of real life to video games, deciding life is something he can win. He sees himself as the main character of his own video game, and everyone around him as an npc. To him, other trolls are just there to function as entertaining additions to his story.
And if you're not entertaining enough, well guess what? Leeroi hates you. Leeroi hates being bored. To beat boredom, he's constantly finding ways to entertain himself, whether it be climbing to the highest point in every city, seeing how fast he can run from point A to point B, or stirring up minor troubles. Oftentimes his excitement will lead him into dangerous situations. This is because Leeroi isn't afraid of much and doesn't have a good sense of danger. He's much more of a leap-before-you-look kind of troll.
Leeroi is slow to realize the true dangers of what he gets into. More often than not, it’s physical pain that forces him to understand the full scope of his situation. Pain is one thing that can’t be simulated in his games, so it startles him into reality. But the pain doesn’t frighten him. It just gives him a fuller understanding of the danger he’s up against. In dangerous settings, he’s more than willing to ask for assistance. In fact, he expects it from those he considers teammates. However, he won’t ask nicely and he gets angry when he isn’t helped in a timely manner.
Aside from boredom, there are two other things Leeroi can't stand— losing, and rebels. Leeroi is very obsessed with the idea that he is the hero of his own story, and everyone knows that heroes aren't losers. He doesn't work hard at anything for his own gain— he does it just to be better than somebody else. He hates being second best to anyone.
While Leeroi enjoys the thrill of competition, he likes winning more. He enjoys the feeling of obliterating the competition, and to him there is nothing more satisfying than rubbing salt in his rival’s wounds. A lighthearted example of this would be lapping a competitor in a race or showing off when he’s already far ahead.
When a troll is better than him at something, Leeroi's opinion of them varies depending on that troll's status. If a troll is older, of a higher rank, or has an otherwise presently unachievable talent or skill, Leeroi regards them with interest. He studies these trolls in an attempt to make his way up to their status. When competing with trolls already at (or worse, below) his level, he is more likely to garner contempt and frustration in the face of a defeat. This is especially true if the troll in question is a showoff or a braggart. Leeroi definitely holds grudges, and keeps them despite any apologies or begging. The only cure for his grudges is beating his competitor and reclaiming his winning status.
Leeroi's hatred of rebels stems from his love of video games, because his absolute favorite genre is royalist war games (to be fair, there's not a lot of other genres to choose from). Leeroi doesn't differentiate between games and real life. To him, all rebels are the enemy and they need to be exterminated.
Leeroi's views on the hemospectrum are rather strange. Because of his games, Leeroi is a strong royalist, and therefore has a lot of respect for those of a higher blood than him. But he doesn't have a distaste for lowbloods, in fact he likes them quite a bit. He's found in his games that lowbloods often have the most interesting backstories, maybe even superpowers! Leeroi instead has a distaste for midbloods, seeing them typically the most boring and stale characters in the story.
Extroverted and very social, Leeroi loves to talk. He enjoys talking about himself and dominating conversations. It’s also an easy way to waste time, so he has less time to spend bored. Socializing is great because adventures are always more fun with a crew! He likes to take leadership in groups, though he’s not good at it. He’s horrible at listening to other’s needs or ideas. On top of that, he also has no concept of responsibility. He places himself on such a high pedestal that he has a hard time believing that he can do wrong, and will always blame others before himself. Even in situations where he is the sole culprit of his own demise he will still put the blame on something else, like a sudden shift in the wind or something equally ridiculous.
Leeroi is largely oblivious to social cues outside of things one would experience in a video game. Sarcasm, expressions, and metaphors confuse Leeroi and he might even feel angry or insulted by them, despite the intention of the speaker. This will pose even more of a challenge as he ages, as romantic cues will also be largely misinterpreted or ignored.
Aside from games, Leeroi has invested interest in robotics technology. His lusus presented the hobby to Leeroi when she decided he needed to do something more than play video games. Nonetheless, he finds the technology to be a thrilling challenge of his intellect and enjoys making beefy robots fight each other.
Strengths:
Brave— Not much scares Leeroi. Maybe jumpscares, but he would never tell anyone that. He's not scared off by tough opponents or foreboding warnings of possible death. You can be certain that he'll be the first to charge into battle, possibly before he's given the proper order.
Competitive— Leeroi firmly believes that he is "the main character" and refuses to let others upstage him. His hero complex pushes him to constantly improve himself. And if something's expected of him he finds a way to get it done, as fast as he can. He hardly commits to doing anything by himself. Instead Leeroi is motivated by others, either out of their expectations of him, or to be better than them.
Relentless— Leeroi just doesn't give up. He's always giving his best efforts when it matters the most. To be fair, it usually matters most when he has to fight his way out of trouble he got himself into. But when he realizes the threat of danger, he doesn't try to weasel his way out. No, he attacks head-on. If he was the kind of troll that stopped midway in a fight, he'd have been dead long ago.
Flaws:
Delusional— It's no secret that Leeroi has a very altered perception of the world. Video games and real life blend together for Leeroi, which can get him into a number of bad situations. He often throws himself into dangerous situations that other trolls wouldn't dare touch.
Short-tempered— Leeroi has a horrible, terrible temper. He is quick to throw a tantrum when he doesn't get his way, and he is not an easy troll to calm down. One little problem isn't enough to freak him out, but a build-up of nuisances can often be enough to send him into a fervor. He is most affected by attacks on his pride.
Destructive— In his fits of rage, Leeroi has no restrictions on destroying anything in his path. He has no empathy for others, as he sees them as nothing more than characters in his story. Because of this, Leeroi is not against harming those he considers friends. This paired with his self-centered attitude makes it incredibly difficult for Leeroi to build or keep relationships.
Weapon: Leeroi has a nice, shiny shotgun that he got as a gift from his lusus. However, he's much too young to understand how to use it.
Appearance: Leeroi has two big nubby horns that look like an upside-down console controller. There's a few bullet holes in them from AMAZING near death battles against bad guys accidentally shooting himself. He hates his horns because they don't look cool, and because they get in the way of wearing a normal headset (he instead wears one that goes around the back of his head). He has bags under his eyes from staying up too late playing games.
Leeroi has fluffy, shaggy hair that falls over his eyebrows because he always waits too long to cut his hair. He has a pudgy build due to a lack of healthy diet. He wears a plain gray sweatshirt with his symbol on the front, and a pair of silly pajama shorts. For footwear, he wears white ankle socks with athletic sandals.
It's not uncommon to see Leeroi with a few minor scratches. His lusus, Glitch, makes sure to cover them up with cute character adhesive bandages.
Home: Leeroi lives in a secluded cabin on the Busthind mountainside. Leeroi likes climbing the mountains and sees them as his playground. He kind of wished it was warmer, though.
Lusus: Glitch is a large screaming hornbeast lusus with far too many eyes and legs. She has no neck and only half a mouth. She essentially looks like a walking video game corruption.
When it came to raising Leeroi, Glitch didn’t have much of a choice but to raise him on video games. She spent a lot of time out of the hive, and Leeroi was getting into trouble every time she left him alone. So she gave him the games to curb his energy and keep him out of trouble. It worked for the most part and kept him alive, but now Glitch is realizing the mistakes of her actions. She tries desperately to push new hobbies onto him, but all that’s stuck is robotics.
Leeroi tolerates Glitch. He doesn’t see her as much of a parent figure, and doesn’t really have much attachment to her. She tries to be affectionate with Leeroi but he only finds it embarrassing. Leeroi’s not past lashing out at Glitch either, and he frequently blames her for letting him hurt himself. Glitch likes to think she can fix him with her love, but Leeroi’s really too far gone for that.
Power: He wishes.
