Name: Leslie King Miller Nicknames: Leslie Gender: M Birthday: January 14th Age:171819 14............
Category: Mist
Personality: You've seen his kind before, and you know him without knowing him at all.
Dark bags under eyes, refuser of eye contact, missing from school. Leslie ditches when he can, but the habit is new, freshly formed in the presence of students older-cooler-better than himself. His time in detention is well-earned. His time in detention is well-treasured, because it is time not spent at home.
In his free time, Leslie learns with a curiosity not yet stamped out by repeated defeat. He is dyslexic with no patience, but there are things, now, that can help him. Video lectures, narrated books. His like for books is small and dwarfed by movies, especially ones with lots of action and blood and people getting to take down their tormentors in ways that just aren't possible in real life. He does not yet prank grocery stores, but petty theft is a habit so familiar to him that he cannot stop. Food, food, always food, and rarely for himself. He has sisters, after all.
He's a deadbeat in the making, born and bred. The world is cruel and the world is hateful, and his family is exactly both. Bigotry runs in his veins in a way that's impossible to extricate, tangling and terrifying. Don't be Different. Don't be Other. Don't, don't, don't.
Blood of the covenant is thicker than blood of the womb, and while Leslie loves his sisters the rest of them he do not. A dad that's been a junkie for six, seven years. A brother seeking to dole out a hurt. A mother that looks and cries but does not help.
There are six of them, all together, and there is never enough to go around. It gave him a bit of a complex: Leslie doesn't waste. If it can be saved, it gets squirreled away for a rainy day. He hides his money in weird corners and his treasured belongings in safe spots beneath floorboards and in vents.
He is at an age before the downward spiral of bad behavior. He is at an age before the terrible rebellions, before the violence, before the spitting hatred. Before the ill-advised tattoos. Before, before. He is small, he is broken-- but somewhere in him, there is still hope.
But.
He is scared, still. He is scared and he is small, he is malnourished and so very alone... But it doesn't change the fact that he doesn't know how to handle affection or fondness, and so furiously pushes it away unless it is received by force. He is snarly but desires warmth, and will likely spurn it at every opportunity.
Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter? He woke up, and the world was different. He woke up, but far too late.
Weapon Ability Fleeting Frost - T2 Chill - Aleria covers Leslie's body in spiked hoarfrost to heal them with cool, soothing fear.
The Weapon Name: Aleria Nicknames: Type of Weapon: Spiked Staff Former species of weapon: Arctic Flora Demon Gender: Genderfluid, They/Them
Personality: While intensely curious to the point of futility as a student, Aleria has become more even-tempered as a weapon. They have no real strong opinions of most subjects, save for classical music, meat served blue, ensuring Leslie's unfortunate survival, and fine clothing.
As a student, Aleria shared a mind with their vascular system, sentient vines that were always hungry. As a result, the demon has taken on this personality trait, as their minds have become steadfastly one. They distinctly find humans appetizing food, and often presses forth imagery of flayed flesh as a tasty snack. In all honesty, Leslie will think of Aleria is completely terrifying, but will probably brag about how 'metal' they are.
Before Deus, Aleria opted to becoming a weapon due to a lack of belonging at Amityville, and grew to quietly resent the solitude. When promised that they would be both useful as well as strong, Aleria willingly embraced their weaponization.
It helps that the only real friends they made during their entire two year stay at Amityville were all acquired while on the path leading up to the conversion. No one had any interest in who Aleria originally was until that decision was on the table. The hunters took an interest in them because of their choice to become a weapon, or to during their trip to Deus, which reassured them that their own hunter would be kind enough to take interest in them, too. Their Amityville acquaintances were two: Amrita, who devoted herself to saving Aleria from their own choices, only after the choice had been made, and Thackery, who honestly did not seem so opposed to hunters either.
They were led to believe that they would retain their memories and become happier and more whole as a weapon: well, at least two out of there wasn't bad.
As a stave, Aleria has found that they are content to serve a purpose, even if their means to do so-- a connection to this dreadfully rude hunter-- were not the most ideal. As long as they are used efficiently, and to their full potential, so they may become a stronger team, Aleria will generally suffer through whatever Leslie wishes to inflict. (Namely, a lot of bad decisions leading to their endangerment that they will attempt to reason him through. Ineffectually.)
Passive Ability: Resistance to Heat - Aleria insulates Leslie from heat, so that he prefers it a few degrees warmer than most to stay warm. However, he was cold as hell all the time anyway before, so the change is negligible. Either way, he's often in a big hoodie and as many layers as he can manage.

DORMANT STATE APPEARANCE A sleek silver shield that straps to his arm, mostly to be a small arm guard.
BATTLE (INVOKED STAGE ART) IC APPEARANCE:
Leslie's weapon shifts into a thorned vine whip, a cat o' nine tails to be precise, six feet in length from handle to tip. It is green and dull in nature, with a few flowers sprouting at random around it.
Around him form small vine accessories; mostly around the wrist, ankle, neck and head in a small crown. They never show up as more than 2 accessories at once. IE: one sort of anklet, one bracelet, or one crown, one necklace.
His tattoo, normally on his left lower arm, spreads up his entire left arm and up his chest and neck about halfway.
In the place of his scarf is a bundle of vines and thorns, that are sort of a messy collection without rhyme or reason.
