You definitely want to check out the Movement skill tricks for this PC.
Extreme Leap: Horizontal Jump of at least 10' adds 10' of movement that round
Leaping Climber: Add jump distance to start of climb
Wall Jumper: Leap from wall as if making a running jump
Corner Perch: Perch in chimney or corner to leave hands free
Nimble Stand: Stand from prone safely (which feels like a jump, even though it's a tumble)

Well, I didn't mention it since Leaping Dragon stance from ToB is better anyway, but if you're avoiding that book, you may want Leap of the Heavens from PH2. It can be taken at level 1, and lets you make standing jumps as if you had a running start. That would probably be useful to such a character.
Alternatively, I know both the Goliath race (Races of Stone) and Catfolk race (Races of the Wild) both offer the racial ability to make standing leaps at no penalty. Both have a +1 level adjustment, though. They're actually worth the LA, unlike most +1 LA races, at least. Goliath gets a big str boost and a dex penalty as well as ability to use larger weapons, better for a 2H Leap Attacking build. Catfolk gets dex and cha boosts and base speed 40 ft, better for a ninja or scout build.

Thanks! Im going with human scout (maybe an Aasimar, don't ask.) Taking leap of the heavens, leap attack and a few skill tricks. Adding more feats when available. Have to spend one feat on Greatspear (im a sucker for huge weapons) and power attack
