Backstory
When Leo was a young Solarian guard captain, he fell in love with a mysterious and beautiful girl named Lyra. Lyra was kind and gentle, and they spent much time together. They dated for several weeks, their bond growing stronger each day. Lyra has always tried to convince him to spend time outside the city walls, but Leo couldn’t do it because of his duties.
One day, he finally took a day off and left the city with her. Once they got far from the city walls, Lyra suddenly opened a portal to the void realm and tried to push Leo into it. Leo dodged the attack and saw her true nature; she was a succubus, a demon that feeds on the life force of humans. Lyra revealed that she had been using Leo all along - her goal was to draw him out of the city, away from the Symbol of Hope that weakens her powers, where she could drain him of his energy and devour his soul. Leo was horrified. He couldn't believe that the girl he loved was capable of such cruelty. When Lyra tried to pull him into the void realm portal again, he swung his two-handed sword, ending her life.
After Lyra's death, Leo was consumed by guilt and despair. His story with the succubus had become popular, not in a good sense. For falling so easily into such trickery, the city guard could no longer keep Leo as the city guard's captain. But then, another opportunity revealed itself. Leo was approached by a recruiter from the League of Heroes who had heard of his story. He offered Leo a new purpose - to protect Solaria from evils like Lyra and ensure that no one would fall into the same trap. Under the tutelage of the League's masters, Leo learned the art of war and honed his combat skills. His experience as a guard captain and his leadership skills led other heroes to rely on his guidance in battle.
Fears
Leo's fear of being exploited is closely tied to his fear of falling in love and exposing his feelings. He is afraid that someone will toy with his feelings and hurt him. Leo is extremely cautious in trusting new allies or falling for someone. He won’t forgive himself if any of his team members fall for the same trap as he had.
Team Dynamics
Leo's experiences with Lyra have left him deeply protective of those he cares about. Leo is fiercely loyal to his allies and will do whatever it takes to keep them safe, even if it means putting himself in harm's way. If anybody has to give his life, it would be him.
Personal Life
Leo's traumatic past has left him deeply scarred physically and emotionally. He finds it difficult to let anyone get too close to him. Leo avoids forming close relationships or pursuing romantic interests, fearing they may distract him from his mission or lead to further pain and heartbreak. Instead, he often spends his free time alone, lost in his thoughts or training tirelessly to improve his skills.
Habits
When Leo is idle and in a good mood, he hums a song he used to hear a few times when he was a kid. He doesn’t recall where he heard that song and from whom. But he wants to remember it.
Leo is a dedicated and disciplined warrior who takes his responsibilities as a hero seriously. As such, he has a daily routine that includes rigorous physical training, practicing swordsmanship, and honing his combat skills.
Hobbies
Leo enjoys spending his free time reading due to his disciplined and introspective nature. He may enjoy a variety of genres, from military strategy and history to philosophy and self-improvement.
Leo enjoys spending time in nature, taking long walks in the forest, or hiking through the mountains. These activities help him clear his mind, connect with his surroundings, and find peace amidst the chaos of battle.
Leo’s great aspiration is writing. Given his intense daily life, full of dangerous adventures, he has a lot to draw inspiration from. Sadly, most of his writing ends up nowhere, as he is too reluctant to show it to anyone.
Education
Leo grew up in a noble family but from the lesser nobility. His father was a soldier in the King’s army, which gave the family the right to settle in the City of Sol. It gave the family a status but not a high one. Leo had good teachers who taught him literacy, sword-fighting, geography, and the dogmas of the Church of Sol.
Speech/Vocabulary
Leo was raised on the ideals of knighthood and chivalry. He speaks politely, with no bad words, especially when speaking to women. He expresses himself clearly and cohesively, like a commander who briefs his soldiers or a knight who stands before the king.
Accent
Leo speaks in “proper” English, probably British. But rather London British. It should be easily understandable by non-English speakers.
