*sighs and looks over the papers* All right, first things first, what's your real name? First and last.:

So nice that you have to ask, isn't it? I mean, I've been here... *counts* what, over a year, and you have to ask me my name? Well, if you must... Jed Kristo. *smiles* Not at your service, as I'm highly lazy.

Yeah, there's another one of those questions. *nods* Nickname's Leapfrog. Some call me Frog. Some call me Leapfrog. Hell, Leap even. Just not Jed. *shakes head* Never. Ever. *smiles* But you know that.

My birthday's January 24th. 1891. I'm 13. *rolls eyes* You definitely lied when you said 13 was a golden age.

*snorts* Humor you? Been there. Done that. I have... had light brown hair. And then someone... *after a quick look around for Mel* well, Mel's ex-husband, to be exact, played a little prank on me. Now it's blonde. Or it was purely blonde. And then that two-timing asshole Joey, who had to go ahead and... *clears his throat, having gotten carried away* did something to me. So now it's blonde with green streaks. Which is actually kind of cool. I'm about 5' 3" or so... about Mel's height, I guess. *grins* *he quickly rolls his sleeves down* Oh..um...just covering a little bruise. I used to be beat a lot. *his hair is pretty straight, with a little hanging off of his forehead. You can easily see his eyes are a dark green, but there is a little brown in there. He is wearing a dark brown shirt and khaki pants. He's not wearing any shoes or socks, he's barefoot, and his feet look worn. He has a fairly average amount of muscle* Ahh, the heck with it. *he rolls up his sleeves and reveals bruises on his forearm* Anything else?

I'm a friendly person, although I'm stubborn at times. And I can be somewhat sarcastic, bvtu not too much. I'm pretty sensitive, and I'm loyal to my friend. My courage is shortlived. *he trys to be friendly, but with his lack of patience it tends to be hard. Leapfrog isn't too laidback, he likes to be active, and he's not too cautious. He likes to be a comedian. Oh, and if it seems like there's any childlike innocence there, forget it. He likes fist-fighting and Blackjack*

*snorts* Oh no. No friends. Nobody at all. *rolls eyes* But seriously... uh, let's see...Melanie's great! *looks around* In fact...Mel is like a mother to me. But I don't know if I could tell her that...she might get worried or something... who knows. Um... yeah. And there's Smudge an' even though we don't get along sometimes, I guess he's sort of a friend. *looks around* I guess I get along with most people here. I mean, not with Jumper, but that's a whole 'nother story.

*sighs* That's a story. No. *Leapfrog had Sylvia, a girl who he had a mutual breakup with. He also had Lucy, who died. He wishes, just for that, to get vengeance on all members of Dodge's gang, who are related to her death. Casey Callaway ODed on cocaine after Leapfrog slept with another girl*

Me dad died in a trainwreck and my mom is... my mom died of cancer recently. *is still very shook up about it* *His mom left one day, and was taken for dead. She came back in September 1903, and tried to get Leapfrog to go with her. His dad was on a train to California, and died when it crashed near Kansas*

You mean like what was my past like... and all that stuff... *shakes head* Can we skip that? *His past is actually kind of a blur. He was born in Albany in 1891 (About... January). In 1895 (September), his mother, Cynthia Lorton, left. She never came back and was assumed dead. In 1897 (April), his dad boarded a train to California and left him to his aunt. The news of the wreck was sent to New York days later.. While staying with his aunt he was beaten hard, and 2 months later (June) he ranaway to live on the streets. He met his best friend, Joe, and together they tried to find money in all kinds of ways. He and Joe were found by the state and put into an orphanage. They both escaped in 1899. Once again, they tried to find money and avoided police or goverment workers of all kind. Joe was supposedly dead in a building fire, and Leapfrog wandered more. In 1901, he was claimed again by the state, with snevere warning. He left the orphanage, after some cruel beating, in 1902, and lived on the street by himself. He finally found Bay Ridge and decided to become a newsboy. In Early September of 1903, his mother came back. She had been in Santa Fe the whole time. Joe was found soon after, and decided to go to Midtown Lodging House. Leapfrog's ex-girlfriend, Lucy was killed on December 26, 1903. Casey Callaway was discovered dead on May 13, 1904 of a cocaine OD*

Nothing really. *he looks back to the paper he holds in his hand, not seeming to be reading it, but just skimming for details* *Leapfrog's slept with two people in his life. He was raped by one of them. He willfully turned his back on his girlfriend when he slept with the other*
