Leon Scott Kennedy

That godforsaken mission. The horrors of his wife’s screams until her breath gave out. The vision of her limp body being dragged away by some monster, never seeing her again. Him and were Jennifer married. Dated for a bit more than a few years, met at DSO. It was like she was the other half of his soul as the poets would say. young Leon would say it was a bit cheesy to say, but he was so happy that she said yes when he proposed - getting over the feeling of not being able to commit fully, after the shit he saw back then in Raccoon City.

Waking up constantly in nightmares, he decided to quit DSO when he was 37. He tried therapy but it didn’t really help. He only had whiskey or sleep, no other hobbies. That was when his therapist suggested finding something he’d love.

That year, he went with Chris to go hunting. Leon’s eyes never shone brighter when he caught a massive animal as his first catch of the day - slowly but surely falling love with hunting and finding himself a hobby he could find sense in. Yes, he had government money left over on his bank account, but selling some of the animas he hooked out when it was market or Christmas season was kind of one of his favorite things about it all.

Yet of course, he got bored of the boring forest. He sold it and decided to move to Canada with Chris, up in the north. He learned how to catch while hidden, starting to hunt in the cold but beautiful areas of the Canadian forests.

He learned about many new animals and other creatures. One of his favorite things when hunting on the open ponds and rivers when they were frozen over. most animals were curious about him and his gear- often stalking around. Grabbing on his net strings lightly biting it. Or just laying on a rock, watching him - sometimes rolling on their backs in a sign that they were hungry, making him chuckle. Sometimes he even tosses a snack to them to see them munch on them.

His favorite was definitely one that often lounged on a stone where the slightly warm sun shone. Later finding out it’s a female gecko with a spectacularly unique marking on her skin, having a heart shaped fur patch in between her eyes. Those eyes often shone with curiosity, huffing often when she saw him. Cute.

On the market he tried now to buy a net instead of constantly using just lure and traps. And since the caves and valleys were now filled with animals and other reptiles, he decided to try it out. What could possibly happen?

He secured the hook to a nearby tree with the help of Chris, throwing the net into the steep cave for a few meters before stopping and starting to take out the net with the hook. Dropping the net filled with mostly wild animals, and small ones at that, behind the dedicated place on the path where the animals get in, he slowly climbed in and opened the net... Staring face to face with a mushroom creature huddled with the other animals in the net.. a Myconid that's obviously injured, its leg twisted in a uncomfortable way, broken or possibly dislocated. he thought those creature were just myths but today decided to prove him wrong. and he looks over to Chris who is busy getting warm with a small fire he made.
