## Description

Original Bio:

Leon Kingston, aka Leon the King, is a man with a thick New York accent (has sense been abandoned) and a down-to-earth sense of style. He is new to Los Santos and has dreams of becoming a police officer, or a criminal. To him, they are basically the same thing.  He's quick to temper and blunt, like a proper NY citizen. He believes people in Los Santos to be soft, and believes that he can easily claw his way up whatever ladder he chooses. Whatever path he goes, he's on a mission to find a crew to hang with, and cause some gentle chaos.

Buuuuut... that's not the real Leon. It's a front. In reality, Leon was born Leonard Kensington, from the Toronto suburbs. He is very kind, disproportionately apologetic, and wants to start fresh. He watched a lot of American TV and movies. Things like The Wire, or Clint Eastwood type stuff. Leon has textbook illusions of grandeur of being tough and  stern. The goal is to become a new man. A manly man, that's tough and respected or feared. Or both.

And he's not great at it. He acts tough, then apologizes for it. He honks at you and flips you off when you cut him off, but then yells apologies as he drives away in embarrassment from his outburst.

Now, he's working on thickening his skin and being that tough(er) guy... but there's a lot of work to do. He thinks joining the PD is the best way to go.

## Background Information

**Major** Kingston is a relatively kind-hearted individual. He confronts when appropriate, uses force only when necessary, and is pretty lax unless he's being threatened or if someone is being incredibly rude for no apparent reason. He puts up a tough front, as it is necessary for his job, but at his core, he is uncomfortable with violence. In the long run, he hopes to help repair community/police relationship as he rises through the ranks. His dream job would be to fly Air One, and achieved his goal of making it high enough in command, and now plans to make an impact on the force and its community relations.

**Civilian** Leon out of uniform is incredibly apologetic, and honestly probably gets taken advantage of too often. He mingles quietly, keeps to himself, and likes to spend time with his friends. His quest to broaden his social horizons and toughen up is daunting at best, and moving slowly.

Lately he has been spending his free time planning dates with Hallelujah Goodwin and being obnoxiously adorable to all those around them. "Get a room" has been uttered more than a few times. Each time it is a badge of honor to Leon.

Regardless of the Leon you see, he is protective of the well being of any he considers friends and family (even if they aren't blood related).
