Sorry if this will soud stupid, and sorry for the grammer, and speling mistakes English is not my first launvige. And maybe I'm just overthinking, or over analysing this. If yes, please tell me. So sorry for the posible headeche. I think Leon, and Freddy are underexplored characters. I don't hate them, I just think we get to little about them, and there are many unansweard questions about both of them. I don't think that leaving your audience with questions is a bad thing but there is the way to do it. And if we think about it we don't really know that many things about niether about Leon, or Freddy.
Yes we know that Leon is one of the oldest characters (after all he is in his 30ths), is a sniper who works for the Shadow Decree as a Shadow Guard, has OCD, likes jazz, his (if I remember well) younger brother teached him to play the saxophon, who was called Joseph, and has died, that he sees his younger brother in Hall, and a few other things.
And we know that Freddy is his partner, who probably had one of most painfull Esper transformations, his nickname is "Mad Dog", is awsom, likes sunglases, easily temperd, were a troublemaker as a child, his parents comperd to his cousin who lived with them, then he left everything behind (in the bate version at least, if I remember well), takes care of his fur, and a few other things.
Those things are enough to know something about the character, and start to like them. But there are still posibilities to give more content about the characters, that would give more deapht to both the characters, and the world building, and also would give a great chance of exploring defrent themes.
Let's start with Leon. But first trigger warning for sensetiv subjects. Let's put all headcanon aside for a little (I'm saying this, because I think a few of us have some of those about his past, and/or plan, or working on a fanfiction full of headcanon about (yeah I'm working on it)) . What exextly we know about his past, his background? We only know that he had a brother named Joseph, who was really importent to him. And what we even know about Joseph outside of that he died, he was Leon's brother, and that he thought Leon how to play the saxophon? We safe to assume that Leon is not the same ever saince, and probably he acts a similar way to his oldself around Hall as his old self. But what coused the death of Joseph? And why were they so close to each other? I think if the devs want to expend on this, then they could explor the theme of grif, or in some scenarios guilt too. What if they so close because they could only count on each other? Is they parents were abusiv? Or they were just neglectfull? Or they never had them? Or they only had just one? Eather way I think all of those could make a really touching storyline about it, if it's writen well. And then how did Joseph died? He was killed by a mirramon? Or he died in an acident? Or he died from an Illnes? Or what if he died from murrder? Or what if he died from sucide? With this they could explorer the theme of grif. If Joseph died from an illnes then, both him, and Leon know that it was coming, or tryd to prevent it in a way, but faild. Like not having enough money for treatment, or medicetion. Or what if he was killed by a mirramon? Well dieng by a mirramon is probably a common acurenc in the univers of Dislyte, so this seems a weary reasonable assumption. Or what if he was murrder? I think with this there is The posibiliti of exploring the themes revenge too. Or what if he died by soucide? This is the more touchier subject, as someone who have strugeld with soucide thoughs, and self harm. I think this could say something about how we handler mental health, and posably confort people who strugel with this. I strugeld with it, and it helpd to know that I was not allone in this, so if it's writen with a good, and sensetiv way, that understands what it feels like it. And plus with this the theme of guilt could be also explor the theme of guilt. Leon was really close to Joseph so imagin the grif, and guilt that he would feel if this happand. And the acident one. What coused the acident? Could it have been orevented? What if Leon was the one who coused it? And there is an another unxplored thing about Leon. What effects Joseph's death had on him? Like I said we are safe to assume that his porsenality changed. But there are other things. Like does some of his habbits changed? Does he have nightmares about it? Does he blame himself for it?
And now let's look at Freedy. Again trigger warning for sensetiv subjects. Well the thing about Freedy's past, is that we don't really have it. The thing that I mentiond is from the bate version. Not the final game. Yes there is a chance that it's still cannon, but we can't forget that it has a chance that the devs stearth up thrown it out the window. But for the sake of it, let's focuse on that. So we know that he was a troublemaker, but how much. Does he had only bad greads, or he more seius things? And how much inflens his friends group had on him? Like before he started hanging out them he was a good kid? He only had just bad greads? Or he was still a troublemaker? If he was a good kid before it, then the theme of influenc, specificly negativ influenc could be explorer. Same if he only had bad greads. And what effects of being comperd to his cousin had on him? We humanus are cooperativ creatures, not competativ. And studies show that compstitivnes, and being comperd to others in childhood has negativ effects on self estem, education, social life and develeptment, and mental health. I know it, my parents always comperd me to other. And there was anything else in the background? So we can assume that Freddy was a bully. Studies show that a larg partion of kids who are bulling others are coming from an abusiv, toxic or neglectfull households. So does Freedy's parents were abusiv? Or just toxic? And what effects this had on Freedy's adult life. Again studies show that adults who were bullied as kids have problems with they social life, intimicy, work invairments, self estem, and drug abuse. I think with really competent writing the themes of the toxisity of competativnes, and even forgivness could be pulled of.
So if you read this whole thing, thanks. And please tell me your openion about it. If this was rather cringy I'm sorry. And again sorry for the grammer, and speling mistakes English is not my first launvige. I hope at least I meneged to have an idea for a fanfiction, or something.

sickness with no remedy | elle had no choice :)
terminally ill young elle by strange circumstances found herself on the threshold of vladislaus's house and became his first vampire offspring. she didn't eat and didn't talk, only sang and whimpered softly for decades. she wasn't listening to his directions in the dark art. nowadays she is unable to contain her appearance in human form and always remembers her master from these glowing lilac eyes and so similar to his fangs. she was forced to watch after him and his terrible bloodlust for a long time. but she left, breaking all ties. he is free to do whatever he wants, no longer disturbing his not so faithful offspring and her dream of becoming a musical talent. her appearance does not interfere with her life style, but she has to perform in a mask that hides dead cheekbones and skin cracked in a pattern. many fans of these long performances, when she does not take a single breath, consider this a wonderful stage role, and suspect nothing, often talking about how she manages to makeup her skin so well in always the same pale shade of milk with dust… "people are so stupid", master always says in her head grinning. she occasionally agrees with him, afraid to approach at least one living person in this eternal life.

two girls were born to the same mother, on the same day and yet they’re not twins | mary...bell? miss hell!
miss hell was very proud of her teeth…. oh no, that's another story.
miss hell had an interesting "neighbor" - mary shared her consciousness with another person who assured her that they were two sisters, mary and belle. with the gain of powers her second personality celebrated that beautiful birth. the deliberate murder of the main personality gave her great vampire abilities and a lot of free time, which she spent correcting "sister's" mistakes.
what else to do if the "newborn" hungry offspring needs shelter? what if more and more vampires are celebrating their ugly nature by eating people alive? she always had her own special methods which caleb once experienced on his own skin, becoming her magnum opus.
"le mal c'est toi" her gentle emotionless voice haunts him in his sleep. he may be evil but the procreator of the evil is she herself.
ps: took some inspo from vtmb and malkavians.. just a little bit
credits: ai's miss hell was a big inspo <3
