Character Basics
Name:Leif Takac
Nickname:
Age:18
Appearance
Looks:Leif is rather short for a guy, standing a mere 5'4", making him closer to the average height for a girl than for a guy. His slighter frame, lacking muscles and bulk make his figure also seem less masculine, but although small he does have definition to his body, especially his arms from playing his instrument.
He has naturally reddish brown hair, looking more red in the summer months due to the sun and appearing darker in the winter. He keeps it just long enough to have it kind of spiked up.
Leif's style of dress is very casual and what you would expect from a guy in an alternative rock band. He wears a lot of jeans and tshirts. Only dressing up if he's going out someplace nice or really trying to impress a girl.
Scars, tattoos, other marks:
Portrayed by: Seth Green
Personality and Stats
Basic Personality:Leif's love is his music. He spends most of his free time practicing his instrument or at small gigs around the Forks and Port Angeles scene. He's fairly popular, due to the cool aura around him from being in a rock band, but not many people actually know too much about him. He isn't very loud, mostly keeping to himself, but he's confident and not one to be too shy if he has something he really wants to say, choosing when to speak and his words wisely in most cases, proving to be more intelligent than many people assume him to be.
Leif's a nice guy not judging people quickly on cliques that they appear in. He tries to avoid drama in relationships and friendships, enjoying being rather easygoing about things.

History:
Leif has had a pretty normal childhood growing up in Forks Washington. His parents were happily married (but of course had the normal spousal fights now and again) and they loved him and his siblings. Being a middle child he never got too much attention. He wasnt doted on as the baby or given the high expectations but was allowed more free reign to do as he wanted.
Leif has always had a love for music. When he was 11 his parents got him his first guitar for Christmas, thinking it would be a passing phase but trying to encourage their son's interests. By the time he was 13, he and some friends had started up a band, not a great one at first but over the years they got better as they all learned their craft. Leif took on the role of lead guitarist and shares the vocals with another member.
Leif keeps his grades up in school, not straight A's but good enough that his parents don't mind his weekend gigs. His band plays when they get the chance, frequently going to Seattle or Port Angeles and make small amounts from the places they play as well as in tips, but they do it for the love of the music. Leif isnt yet sure what his plans after graduation will be, not sure if being in a band will really be able to support him or if he'll be attending college.
