A New Age is Coming

[thewhitehairedwitchgirl]

People: how dare you be upset with the representation you got! You only care about ships and if you don't like it then leave!

Us, packing up ships and headcanons and planning reboots because we don't plan on licking the boots from a studio and crew that thought killing off three gay characters for shock value, using the Psycho Lesbian trope, using a popular ship as bait by tagging it in videos and art, and thought spending a whole episode dedicated to calling one character an idiot with no arc or catharsis to justify any of the emotional issues raised in the past was quality writing: ya ok

Them: HOW DARE U LEAVE

Defenders of Tomorrow HC's (Pt. 3: Backstory)

[Leandro McClain]

He lives in the 5th District of Cyan, one of the three main cities of Miscere.

His family runs the Inter Area Police Department in said district, his father being the head officer.

Since he was little he and his siblings spent a lot of time at the Police Station, they were practically raised there.

His father was never tempted by corruption because he wanted to be a role model for his family and he longed for a safer future for his children and for the planet.

Thanks to his father's efforts the 5th District is know to be one of the safest spots in the whole city despite the large amount of gangs that reside there.

Leandro grew up admiring his dad and wanting to be just like him.

Which meant that when he got old enough he begged for his father to train him.

Turned out he wasn't the best at one on one combat, he was clumsy when it came to piloting but oh boy, he was a master at shooting.

The kid didn't even knew how to knot his sneakers correctly but he had a deadly aim.

He knocked down every target that his father placed. He didn't missed a single one.

Time passed by and for the age of 12 Leandro was an expert at shooting.

He was ready to show off his skills at the military service when his family received the news.

Fernando, one of his older siblings who was about to end his service at that time was found dead in the 17th District, where he was patrolling as part of his routine.

The fourteen year old died due a stab wound on his chest that he received during a fight.

He was defending a young galra boy that was being sexually harassed in an alley at night.

Alejandro, Fer's twin was the one who found the body in the morning while his squad was patrolling the area.

It was a shock for the whole family. But Leandro and his father were the ones that resented the loss the most.

Leandro's father blamed himself for not being able to protect his son.

Leandro always thought that if you were a good person only good things will happen to you. That one was meant to always do what was right, that this world would be kind with those who ñut their lives at stake without asking for anything in return. That the hereos, heroes like his brother, that fulfilled their duty with pride were supposed to be respected. That people admired those who protected their lives and their planet.

The illusion of a world where safety and justice were the values that drove society, shattered in a million pieces.

Things got worse when the Police Department refused to do anything to prosecute Fernando's murderer.

"It's a shame what happened to your boy, McClain. But take this as a lesson to teach to your other kids. He died on vain trying to help a scumbag, he put his life on the line for nothing. He..."

Leandro's father quit his job after punching his superior for what he said about his son, Fernando's death shut him down completely. He felt useless, and angry to himself and to the world.

That was the moment when Leandro realized that not everyone in the Police Department was fighting for what was right, but for their own convenience. That not everyone out there was trying to help others. That not everyone was like his father.

He realized that if he wanted to make a difference and honour his father, his brother and his family he needed to do things his own way. Even if it was just him against this rotten world, he would keep fighting, he would keep helping.

He turned down his military service but kept training by himself.

He took both his father's and Fernando's guns as his own.

He was disappointed of his planet, but he never let that feeling dragged him down.

Leandro kept as close as ever with his family, he decided that he would protect them with his life, and he swore to himself that he will never let anything harm his loved ones.

By the age of 17 everyone in the 5th district knew that you shouldn't mess with Leo McClain.

His name spread across the district as wild fire when he started to take action by his own hands.

He would stop delinquents and corrupt officers, and he will bring help to those in need- be it human or alien.

Leandro was known for his charming personality and his double wielding pistols.

The Blue Sniper, as some people called him, became a vigilante that took care of his district and it's people.

You would see him in the street boping his head to whatever song he was listening in his earbuds, or making lame jokes and laughing at them even tough no one else would, or playing soccer with the kids on the park.

He is always ready, with a finger on the trigger, a stretched hand ready to help and a warm smile to give.
