Hi everyone! Leah here with another character, because I have absolutely no understanding of the concept of self control. :)

As you might have seen already, my new boy is a little ray of sunshine. His name is, as he's said, Riley Lockewood. Before I go on, it might be better for you to read his app here, as I'm still terrible at introductions, despite this being my sixth Dalton character (jfc, where do they all come from?!).

ANYWAY. Riley. He's old enough to be a senior and he should be entering his last year by now, but he has missed a bit of his education due to living and working on the streets of New York for a year or so. The short(ish) story here is that his mother raised him mostly single-handedly and his biological father had no idea he existed until the beginning of last month. It's safe to say that he hasn't had the best life, with him and his mom both being abused by his mother's boyfriend to the point where his mother could no longer cope with her life, leading her to commit suicide with Riley being the person to discover her. As well as that, a rather serious event caused him to run away from home just after his fifteenth birthday, with him ending up in NYC and working on the streets as a hustler for money. Getting picked up by the cops led to his biological dad discovering that he had a son. Suffice to say, they don't get along and Riley's dad thought it best to ship him off to his old school in the hopes of straightening him out...

I should apologise in advance for Riley's hostile nature. He's been through a lot and he's used to looking out for number one. I hope he can get some interaction despite this though!

If you'd like to plot with him, feel free to reply here or contact me in the usual ways! I'm really looking forward to giving someone new a try and I hope that I can do a good job! :)

P.S. - I already made him an AIM account. You can talk to this happy camper at lockein!
