Exeter Leap is a notorious Equiaxed pirate, a revolutionary of Millennium Break, and a former member of the Rapid Evening.
Appearance
Leap is Equiaxed, and as such has integrated organic parts into his robot body. He has a camcorder head with a mouth; the mouth looks kind of like Crow T. Robot's from Mystery Science Theater 3000, but under a Geth eye.
He wears pastel and jewel-tone chino shorts and a mood ring color changing hoodie.
He has human hands,[1] upon which he wears many fancy rings.[2] His eye can light up to provide illumination.[3]
In the PALISADE era, he is dripping with gold like Tim Curry at the end of Muppet Treasure Island.[4]
Personality
Leap is bold and reckless. He takes risks in most facets of his life, from his job as a pirate to his desperate actions in battles. Often, he rubs up against authority. Not only is he the most loudly opposed to being Clementine's prisoner, but he also sees Callister Drive Callister as a sellout for becoming a noble. Around nobility, he's indifferent to social etiquette. A common pastime for Leap is trying to catch food in his mouth, or throwing it for others to catch.
Piracy is Leap's main priority and passion. While he cares about his friends, he is willing to risk their safety to advance his own goals.[2] He's more invested in Millennium Break as a way to continue his piracy career, not as a political movement. Besides this, he has no ambitions for the future.[5]
In Questlandia, Leap's role is Picaroon, his drive is Adventure and Wanderlust, his personality is Dramatic and Notorious, and his weakness is Cheat.[4]

History and Involvement
This section is under construction. Please excuse the mess.
PARTIZAN
Leap was a space pirate bank robber from Stel Columnar. He was captured and imprisoned on Partizan.
He was created while the Equiaxed attempted to make robots that looked more like people, but initially his body was just a pair of robotic legs. He decided to balance it out by giving himself the rest of his body - a robotic torso with organs in it. He has about 80% of a human digestive system, including a tongue and stomach but not an anus, and burns food into fuel.
PALISADE

By late PALISADE, numerous books about Leap have been published, and he is one of the few people alive whose face is known by most people in the Principality.[8]
Using the power of the Divine Vigil, which Leap stole, Leap brings asylum-seekers Cas'alear Rizah, Misericorde, Cor'rina Corrine, and Routine Rennari to the Blue Channel. He also brings trunks and trunks of gold, which are carried by members of his crew.[4]

Beliefs (Beam Saber)

- Millie can draw attention, and drawing attention is useful.
- Millie will get me in trouble doing something reckless.
Gravity Clocks (Armour Astir)

- Thisbe is the Blue Channel's most reliable member, but is not used to working independently.[7]
- (Rival clock with the Witch in Crystal, wording unspecified)[8]
