Name: Leroy
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Appearance: Leroy is fairly average looking, with brown eyes, brown hair, average build, and a height of about six feet. He doesn't usually wear anything too fancy, but occasionally wears a jean jacket when it is chilly. He often looks as if he is lost in thought, and it is because he usually is.
Personality: Leroy always tries to figure thing out. Whether it be an idea or an object, Leroy tries to make sense of it. He may not always agree with everyone, but he tries to get along with them regardless. If it were up to him, he would usually rather sit at home and read all day, as opposed to going outside and getting some exercise.
Biography: Leroy grew up in Dallas Texas with his parents and an older brother that was ten years older than him. He graduated two years after the yeerk invasion ended with only average grades. He has started college in Dallas, majoring in advertising, but he was pretty close to dropping out due to monetary strains.
After the invasion Leroy, along with most other people he knew, read up on what exactly the animorphs had managed to accomplished. He was very interested in how a bunch of kids his own age had managed to thwart a bunch of aliens. He also tried to read up about the aliens that the human race now knew about, but with limited success. The information was still hard to find and unreliable. Or at least it was the last time he checked.
How they were recruited:
Preferred Job: Aquarium. Leroy is just a ticket taker, but he gets free tickets and behind the scenes tours.
First morph: Green Weevil. After being picked by the SPECTER agents to become an animorph, Leroy was almost in shock. He wasn't sure if he should actually believe that he could turn into animals, so when the little green bug landed on his arm, he acquired it in order to test out his new ability. Needless to say, it worked.

How they were recruited:
Leroy had only just sat down to eat the pizza he ordered when the doorbell rang. Since he was the only one home at the moment, he got up to answer the door. He was surprised to see a woman with short black hair and a suit standing at his doorstep.
"Are you Leroy?" she asked. All he managed to do was nod in reply. Then she flashed a badge and walked through the door without being invited. "My name is Agent Vixen. We need to talk," she said. Leroy closed the door and followed her to the living room, dumbfounded.
"Am I in trouble?" he asked.
The lady just smiled as if she thought he was being sarcastic. "No. At least not directly. This is not a visit for either unlawful acts, nor for pleasantries. I am here to offer you a job position on behalf of your government."
Of all the things he expected her to do or say, giving him a job offer was not one of them. "What type of position?" he asked curiously.
"You have no doubt heard about the animorphs, correct? Jake, Marco, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Aximili. Your job description will be similar to what they had. An animorph."
The Lady showed no emotion as she finished her sentence. Leroy, on the other hand, didn't know how to react. That was a lot to pile on someone all at once. If he wasn't so convinced that she was the real deal, he would have called the police and had her escorted off the property for concocting such a joke. "Wait a minute. How could I become an animorph? And why me? What's the deal here?"
Agent Vixen sighed, obviously annoyed by his questions. "The selection process is classified. I couldn't tell you how you were chosen if I wanted to. And we have access to a morphing cube, so there is no problem there other that all the paperwork needed before we can use it. And you would be helping the greater good if you accept. So, do you accept or don't you?" She seemed a bit impatient and was rushing him along. He didn't like that.
But still, this seemed like a once in a lifetime opportunity, and the way college was going he didn't seem to have many better options. "I guess I'll do it," he said, still sounding unsure.
"Great. Now if you just sign here," she said as she pulled out a packet of paperwork, "we can get down to the business of faking your death and moving you to Mariposa."
"Wait, what!? Fake my death? Moving? You never mentioned that stuff!"
She hung her head downward and stared at him for a moment. "You didn't seriously think that you could keep your normal life, did you? It is for your own protection, and ours. Besides, you are needed in a different city anyway, not Dallas, so you wouldn't get to see your friends and family again anyway. But... if you changed your mind, I guess I should get going." She got up and started towards the door.
Leroy waited until she had her hand on the doorknob before shouting, "Wait!" Agent Vixen turned around with a pleasant smile on her face as if she had been expecting it. "I'll do it," he said, then walked over and signed her paper.
"Excellent. Now follow me, if you would be so kind." Then she exited the front door and Leroy was close behind.
