Leo and his Ghoul, Cecil, who has the personality of a Cave spider discovering eyes for the first time and now has to learn to navigate the world with a new sense... and to be fair, Leo found him trapped in a cave, thanks to a Malkavian.
Leo's Humanity is slipping in the game about keeping your humanity.
Leo has a preference for Cainite blood. Not Methuselah thirst. Just. Because. He. Likes. The. Taste.....
Leo failed a self control role to not drink from Enes (you know, Orion, the elder Tzimisce's situationship and this elder happens to be his sire in law)
He botched his self control roll not to follow her home to have more blood.
There was an opportunity for him to be distracted by another character coming to the scene and he botched AGAIN
Because of that, not only did he choose to follow her, she let him drink from him (because she's into that) the two got it on and Leo got to fill up on Vitae.
It was a bit of a nod back to Leo before he was embraced. As when he was a ghoul he would throw himself at his Domitor like this for any amount of blood. He wasn't his best self back then...and now 4 humanity later he's kind of spiraling, Lacking empathy.
Relationships: Married to Hengist and Godwin (poly relationship, hinge)
Edmund: Sire 1, and officially taking on the role of a father figure.
Tertius: Sire 2 and self appointed and proud Cainite mom.
Emir: self appointed and proud Cainite dad.
(Neither have asked Edmund)
Owain: A close friend. Always down for shenanigans and pulls Leo into a bunch of messes.
Æthelfrid: Dear friend, they met as ghouls. The two of them have helped one another grow. Occasionally himself Leo and Owain get together.
Randell: Æthelfrid's older brother from living life. Inquisitor, Lasombra. Feral. Leo is trying to integrate him into Cainite society. They also are in a messy Situationship
**Resulted from drinking Malkavian Vitae
***Taught to him by fellow Caitiff and Friend Melchora, one of her sire was a Banu Haqium.
-------- backstory
He is from Florence, born in 1326 he was 22 years old at the age of embrace (January 1349)
He is an artist and plays a few instruments. he's usually painting flowers, portraits and the occasional dragon. He's recently started taking this more seriously and has been working on a massive life size portrait of the Inquisitor Lasombra, Randell.
He previously served, Dante Di Rossi, a Toreador Cainite.
After another long series of events too difficult to summarise in a Tumblr summary, Leo met a double embrace from Tertius and Edmund on the side of the road while making a journey home. (In which my bad ass storyteller made a roll table and we ran with it.)
He became a Caitiff. Now he desperately tries to hide this from the Ventrue, knowing what this may mean for his Sires.
He enjoys spending time with his dog, Ruby, a chestnut brown spaniel, his partners Hengist, (Nosferatu Sheriff) and Godwin, (Tzimisce guardian of the Bog) he usually gets up to all sorts with the worse influence ever, Emir, and the two get into all kinds of trouble.
He has since discovered his sister Lucretia is alive. Come back to him, she unnaturally extended her life with Vitae and appears to be 50 years old. She now works in the Red Order dedicated to god and eradicating monsters. Leo listens to her without hesitation.
He has since taken up to spending time with-- and acclimating the Inquisitor Lasombra Named Randell, painting him in a portrait.
--- Leo’s shortcomings ---
Flaw - Feeding Exclusion - earned from the Ventrue blood of Edmund though the type of preference is unique to him -- those with less appearance dots than him. Purely based on his fetish for unconventionally attractive people, and Nosferatu
Flaw - beastial feature when in frenzy -- earned from Tertius’ half if the embrace, when Leo frenzies he gains a stoat like feature. If he botches he gains the full beastial appearance flaw.
Derangement: Nyctophobia
He gained this while on an unwilling trip to the abyss, back when he was a ghoul. He took Godwin's hand to try and save him and the two went in together. Neither came out with unscathed minds.
Preference: He has a preference for Cainite blood because he is often stupid… as I will explain below Leo has an unusual preference for Cainite vitae, though he doesn't suffer Methuselah’s thirst. When he was a ghoul he sampled a lot of different cainites. A rogue ghoul to say the least but he always (mostly) knew the source of the tap.
