So a friend of mine posted something about this and I thought I'd give it a shot!

It all began about 5 years ago, in a time when IMVU actually had a few decent, worthwhile people sticking around. I'd just relinquished my second main character, Kit Frost, and was in the process of trying to create a new one. I first tried a winged lion named Leon, but I couldn't find a good-looking fur set and I had yet to discovered that I could commission character designs from artists such as those on FurAffinity or DeviantArt.

So I just randomly end up in a room where everyone else is wearing a fur set modeled after an different Eeveelution. As Flareon hadn't been claimed, and I was interested in a fire-elemental character, I decided to create a character around him. He went simply by 'Leon' for the longest time until I added the surname Embers. But I needed to change my IMVU username to reflect my new character. It came to me pretty quick. He is a Flareon named Leon. The name rhymes. So if I combine the two...

FlareLeon.

So I've stuck with that, but also gone by LeonEmbers because I get sick of getting called 'Flare'. >_>
