Biography/History:
HUMAN BIO: Leon was born on August 17, 1978 at 3:00am in Tokyo, Japan and was murdered on October 31, 2000 at 9:00pm in New York City, New York United States. Leon Zapada is the direct descendant of the famous Mitsuhide Akechi of feudal Japan. Leon researched his roots when he was just ten and devoted himself to his family’s legacy of swordsmen. Taking up his families swords Style and form of martial arts he quickly grew stronger. By the time he was a freshman in high school he was the captain of his schools Kendo team. His mother died when he was 14 leaving behind him, his two younger sisters Hanna and Lindsay and his father. It was not long after that that his father lost his job at the shipping company due to his alcoholism. Leon became very protective of his sisters and quickly grew violent as their father began to beat him and his sisters. His father became outraged and sent him away at age 17 for giving his father a black eye and breaking three of his ribs as he went to swing at his youngest sister Lindsay. Working for a Kendo team he supported himself and sent money to his father to help support his sisters as they needed it more he. He continued to go to school and graduated with an advanced diploma just months after being tossed out of his house by his father. With his incredible skills in kendo he was able to get a full scholarship to The Institute of Tokyo at age 18. Because he had to grow up so quickly and watch out for his sisters he didn’t have any friends, save for those he knew on his Kendo team. At age 20 he was kicked out of his school dorm when he requested that his sister’s stay with him after their father had just been murdered for stealing from the Yakuza. He was forced to leave campus and get an apartment across town. He was failing school and risked losing his scholarship because of his devotion to his sisters. He sent them away to live in well known boarding school for children in the United States. The tuition for them was free because they were excellent students and because of their family history. Two years later and in a state of depression Leon was asked to not return to school as his grades dropped and he did not participate with the schools Kendo Team. Leaving his things behind, he booked a flight to the U.S. at the age of 22. He landed in New Jersey at 7:00pm and took a cab to New York City, New York. He eventually found where his sisters attended school but was asked to leave the campus as the girls were sleeping and visitor hours had ended at six. Not knowing how the city was at night he walked around looking for a hotel, but all he found around every corner was a dark ally. As he turned ounce again all he saw was the end of a gun barrel pointed straight at him. A dark figure with a deep voice spoke with knives in his voice that chilled the blood and made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end. The man demanded Leon hand over his money, but he decided to make a quick move and grab the gun. He succeeded in ripping the gun from the man’s hands, but the mugger had already pulled out a knife and as soon as Leon turned back to the man the end of the knife was deep into his left Kidney. Feeling his body become very warm and the coolness of the blade he slumped to the ground. With a loud ripping sound the man pulled the knife from Leon’s side and ran off. He laid there on the cold floor as he bled out and slowly sank into darkness. Three hours later he opened his eyes to his surprise and stood up, though he felt different. He scanned his body with his hands and the knife wound was gone. He smiled briefly before he came across the single chain link that was attached to the middle his torso. He made a quick turn out of panic not knowing what was going on and saw his body there on the ground. It was already ten o’clock and the hollows where closing in on him when out of nowhere a silvery blade came down on the beast that was about to devour him. Leon looked up to the man with fear as he felt the sword butt touch his forehead, then he felt no pain, no sorrow, only a light airy feeling of peace and harmony.
SOUL SOCIETY BIO: After his sending in the alley of New York, Leon was sent to the Soul society and came to rest in an open market place in East Rukongai, District 65. Looking around he saw a site he had never thought he would ever see, feudal Japan, or so he thought. Looking around everyone was dressed in traditional robes and tattered pieces of cloth. As he looked down at himself even he was dressed in scrappy pants and a sleeves shirt. Making his way through the crowd of ne'er-do-wells, at least that is how they looked; a woman ran into him full force. Before she could hit the ground he caught her and helped her regain balance. Pushing off of him she began to take off ounce more weaving her way through the thick mob of people. Just before he took a step to continue he heard men shout, “Get her! Grab HER!” Seeing them push the crowded people out of the way his mind went blank and suddenly he began to run after the women not to grab a hold of her as the men said, but to try and protect her though unsure why he had done this. Trying to the spot the women again he saw her duck into a small shack. He stopped not ten feet from the shack and looked in all directions to see if the men who were chasing the women had followed him. As soon as he saw the coast was clear he knocked on the wall of the shack as the entrance had no door but a small piece of cloth that hung in the door way. The women thrust out a fist towards him but with a quick step back he avoided it. Trying to make her feel at ease he spoke softly to her telling her he was not one of the men who was after her. After a few quick questions from the girl and some simple replies she offered for him to enter the shack. She told him why the men were chasing her. Apparently she stole from those men and one of them had been chosen for Shinigami training. She explained about how things worked in the district and then went on to explain how Soul Society operated and what souls do. A few hours passed and Leon looked to his stomach as it let out a low growl of hunger. With a surprised look the girl giggled and explained that that was not normal. She too had been hungry and that was the reason for the theft. Pulling out a small box she offered bread to Leon. Kindly taking the offer he had made his first friend. Leon awoke from a light sleep to the sound of silent murmuring in the crowd outside. He thought it strange that he heard no sound of the usual hustle and bustle of the street life instead he heard nothing but the faint whispers of the crowd. Standing he looked to the girl and found that she was gone. Exiting the shack he saw she was standing outside in front watching as the Captain of squad 10 of the Gotei Thirteen had returned from the human realm with his squad. The captain gave a smile and quickly locked eyes with Leon. He felt funny as his eyes shifted from their usual black color to a reddish color while peering into the silvery eyes of the captain. The Squad captain then stopped having felt a strong reiatsu. As the captain neared the crowd the people suddenly started to fall under the strength of the captain’s reiatsu, all save Leon and Ina, his friend. Seeing that they where special he enlisted them both into the Shinigami academy. That night they slept for the last time in that shack, though it was not long as the men Ina had stolen the food from had found them. With a loud crash the top of the building caved in and the man who had been chosen for the Shinigami academy was furious at the two of them, not for the food but for the fact that they were chosen to attend the academy as well. As the man drew his newly acquired blade Leon locked eyes with him. Feeling an immense power well up from inside him he felt his arm lurch forward and then pulled it back. As he drew back his arm he found that clasped inside his hands was a long piece of rosewood. Feeling the large piece of wood he knew what it was and drew the blade. As he drew the blade of the new sword he felt the blade sing to him and it was at that moment that Leon gave the sword the name Yuna’s Sacred Fang.
