*i'm no supermodel,

Eyes: Leo has almond shaped eyes that are a steel blue in color.
Skin: Pale, but he tans if in the sun for a good period of time.
Build: Skinny but fit. He may not look like much but he is capable of holding his own.
Appearance: Leo takes after his father in looks. They have the same eyes and mouth, though the nose completely belongs to his mother. His eyes were dark as a child but they have lightened up to a grayish blue over the years. They are almond shaped and there is something in them that are powerful. His looks are very deceiving. Leo may not look like much of a fighter but he is very agile and a fast runner. He can hold his own in a fight if it ever comes to that. Leo stands 6’0” with fine muscles. His normal attire just includes a darker colored t-shirt and a a pair of jeans with chucks or on occasion running shoes. It normally doesn’t matter what kind of shoe he wears, Leo is fast on his feet regardless. His hair is a dark brown that has a hint of red in it when the sun hits it just right. His hair was lighter as a kid as well now it is about the same shade as his dad’s. Leo likes to keep his hair longer, not too long but he enjoys it hanging in his face. He has a goofy smile that can be contagious and more often than not Leo can be found with a smirk or a full smile on his face.

Secrets Leo keeps the secret of how his father really died. He believes that he killed his father when he was younger. Other than his past Leo doesn’t feel the need to keep secrets. He is very much willing to tell you the truth about anything that has happened in the recent past and present.
Personality:Leo is very outgoing and not afraid to tell you how it is. He has very noble intentions but can be hesitant at times. He is plagued by the guilt of his father’s death. Leo has tried to put the past behind him and tries his best to forget what happened. At times Leo pretends that his old self never existed. He lies to himself and pretends that his past died when he came to the Academy. Leo is brave but can have a big head at times. He likes to have fun and all about living in the present. He is all for doing what is right and does little things to try and repent for what he did to his father. Leo can be over confidant sometimes and now and then he’ll bite off more than he can chew. The saying ‘curiosity killed the cat’ comes to mind when it comes to Leo. His curiosity can get the better of him but again like a cat he nearly always lands on his feet in any situation. Leo isn’t the most attentive person around though. He often has trouble sitting still and is very much on his toes all the time. Leo doesn’t sit still for very long, and his parents thought for a while that he may have ADHD. Then again, they believed he would grow out of it. No such luck as of yet.

*this is what I can do,

Abilities:Agile- Leo is very quick and light on his feet. He often lives up to his big cat first name.

*my life story,
Hometown: Phoenix, Arizona
Parents: Sarah Weaver—mother
James Weaver--father (deceased)
Siblings: Leo is an only child
History: Leo was born to James & Sarah Weaver on the morning of July 30th. His mother and father had been trying to have a kid for a few years but were unable. Sarah had two miscarriages, so when Leo came along they were overjoyed to have a son. James offered the name Leo, which was derived from the Latin word for lion. He believed it was a strong and fitting name. James was the head of a major corporation and the Weaver’s were well respected and admired in Phoenix. Despite his parent’s wealth and power, Leo grew up fairly levelheaded. His ego only charged by the fact that one day he would be handed the business his father had built. Leo attached himself to his father at a young age and clearly favored James over Sarah. Not that he didn’t love his mother, he just admired his father so much he wanted to be his shadow.

Leo was always physically fit and from elementary school he knew he loved to run and what he also knew was that he was good at it. From there Leo would race kids on the playground and would normally leave them all in the dust. He was agile and quick like a cat. Leo became quite popular at his school and was called Leo the King of the Jungle Gym. He would brag about his skills but always seemed to be bested by a fellow student, Lana. She was the only person to really beat him and when he challenged her to a wrestling match (a challenge Leo was sure he would win) he found himself beaten. She pinned him a couple times before the teachers came over and broke it up. Leo pride was hurt only slightly after that, he became good friends with Lana and as their years in elementary school they became best friends. Leo’s pals would joke about the two of them getting married one day but both Leo and Lana were repulsed by the idea. They were too good of friends.

Back at home Leo spent time under his dad’s wing learning the tricks and trade of business even at the ripe young age of eight. Although Leo didn’t fully understand what his father was talking about, he was just glad to spend time with him. At night the two of them would drive to the outskirts of town to the desert and they would sit under the stars. James would tell Leo stories about his childhood and they were just shoot the breeze and enjoy the others company. Leo strived to be like his father in everyway and when Leo was ten it backfired on him. Leo and Lana were out wandering around town on a Saturday afternoon. They were hanging around the park located just a block from Lana’s apartment. Leo grew bored with the swings easily and had an idea.

There had been a legend about the graveyard not too far from the park. One of the tombs was supposed to be haunted. Leo and Lana waited until dusk when they were to return home, they took a detour to the graveyard. They stood outside of the tomb Lana began having second thoughts but Leo claimed he wasn’t afraid. At that moment a group of teens wandered out from behind the tomb. Leo recognized them as part of a local gang. They taunted the two kids for a while before Lana took off running. Leo followed after her with the three bullies on their tails. They ran through the forest of headstones trying to make their way for the entrance but the teens were too fast. The gang had Leo and Lana cornered. Leo tried to protect Lana, and just as the teens were about to come down on them Leo’s dad showed up. He scared the teens off and took the kids home. Leo had been out past his curfew and their parents were getting worried so James went in search of them and saw their shadows as he drove by the graveyard.

Leo had never had his father disappointed in him before and was crushed when he learned that he let his father down. Leo tried to explain to his dad that he was only trying to be brave and not back down, just like his father had taught him. Of course Leo didn’t know that it was only meant in a business sense. James and Leo talked and had a heart to heart. That night Leo discovered his father’s fears about losing him because he was the only child he and his mother could have.


The following week Leo bugged his father to take him to lunch when he was visiting at work. Begrudgingly his father complied and the two went off driving in the crowded lunchtime traffic. They went to a small diner downtown but little did both of them know was that Jeremy, an ex-employee of James who had been fired only a few days prior, sat watching the father and son from his car. He had revenge on the brain. James and Leo left the diner. As James dug for his car keys, Leo became distracted by a video game store next to the diner. He ran to the window and stared at all of the things he desperately thought he needed. James told his son to get to the car but Leo didn’t listen. Before James was able to tell his son again there were shots fired. It happened so fast no one saw who had fired. When Leo turned around, his father was laying on the pavement dead. Leo’s mentality is that, had he listened to his father sooner and gotten in the car he wouldn’t have been dead. Thus Leo blames himself for the whole thing.


After the death of his father, Leo ran away from home unable to look his mother in the eye after what he did. For a year, Leo lived on the streets hitchhiking or sneaking aboard trucks to various places. He was taken in by a pair of young college students, Tim and Perry, and there Leo learned to try and put the past behind him. Though, Leo found it still difficult to do. It wasn’t until a year ago that Leo learned about SSttR Academy. When learning more about the place Leo discovered that he harbored the spirit of Simba from the movie The Lion King. Looking back on his life everything seemed painfully obvious. Though despite this, Leo still believes he is the reason for the death of his father.



*how we do,
rp sample:

Leo couldn’t sit still, he wanted to explore around campus. He didn’t have hardly anything to unpack. For past couple years he lived with Tim and Perry in their crappy two-room apartment just off the coast. It wasn’t a terrible place to live, Leo loved Tim & Perry they had become his family over the years. He thought of them as older brothers. But Leo didn’t exactly feel right living with them for so long, there was something inside of him that told him to get up and get out. And since Leo actually listened, he came upon the Second Star to the Right Academy. To continue with the Disney puns, it was like he made a wish upon a star and his fairy godmother actually listened. It was still weird to hear that the spirit of Simba was inside of him. Creepy much?

Regardless of the weird factor, Leo knew this place would suit him better than any of the other places he had stayed in since leaving his actual home. The memory of his mother but mostly his father stopped Leo in his task of putting away his shirts. He bit his lip and quickly shook away the bad thoughts remembering the saying that Tim and Perry used to tell him. Leo drew in a deep breath and let it out.

“No worries, just put the past behind you.” Leo murmured.

Leo was still unable to believe that he was placed into the Hero class around here. Leo never thought of himself as a hero, maybe a villain because of his father’s death but never a hero. Once again ignoring the things that reminded him of his father, Leo shoved the rest of his clothes into the dresser. He then unpacked the very few items he owed and put them up on his desk and the top of his dresser. It only took about 20 minutes for him to unpack completely. When he finished Leo sat down on his bed and looked around the room. He drummed his fingers on his legs. After about 30 seconds Leo jumped up to his feet and clapped his hands together.

“Alright. Exploring time.” He grabbed his zip up jacket and began to put it on as he left the dorm letting the dorm slam shut behind him. This was going to be great.

anything else: love the site more than I can say.
