LEO VALDEZ
Camp Half-Blood|16|Hephaestus|Pyrokinesis|Tyler Posey

PERSONALITY

Humor: Pranks and jokes are two of Leo's favorite things in life. He often makes jokes in dangerous situations, which makes most people extremely irritated. He often does this because he wants to relieve the stress of the situation or because he is trying to hide his real fear. Either way, the humor is almost always flowing freely from his mouth.

Wounded: Leo has experienced much loss in his life from his parents, Whenever someone he knows dies, Leo takes this extremely hard, occasionally even disposing of his responsibility for a while and finding himself depressed and beating himself up.

Brave: No matter the situation, Leo will almost always be there to help you out. There have been some situations where he is scared, of course, but his bravery and sense of responsibility often win out in the end. Leo is also extremely brave when it comes to someone he cares for being in a dangerous situation. Sometime he will just leap in wholeheartedly without even thinking, if someone he loves is in danger. Bravery can often be mistaken for stupidity in situations like this. But, most of the time, Leo ends up regaining his wits eventually and thinking more about his battling techniques rather than his anger.

Brains: Leo has always been smart, and he gets that from his parents and his deep love for all things scientific. This often aids him in battle and helps him in school as well. Leo is academically gifted and has proved this with years of excellent grades and going above and beyond what is needed. He loves to learn and can retain information easily, especially if it is in a topic he likes. Mostly when it comes to working with machines.

HISTORY

Leo grew up with his mom who was a skilled machinist. They spent every waking moment together aside from the occasional times he was with his babysitter, Tia Callida. Who actually turned how to be Hera. Long story short, Leo was being prepared from the moment he was born to go on the quest with the 7 demi-gods of the prophecy. The quest they just got back from recently. Leo went through some hard times to get to that point. Gaia caused for him to burn down the machine shop with his mother inside, and his mother died in the process, when he was just a kid. Leo was a 7th wheel for most of the quest, until he met Calypso.

He had to leave the goddess on her island for a little longer so he could help his friends defeat Gaia, but as soon as that was done he went back to rescue her. It took a navigational device he found and fixed while on the quest and they were able to escape the island. The year between rescuing her and finding their way back to camp was a little blurry due to the happiness Leo carried with him now that he had the hottest girlfriend around! But really, she is amazing.

EXPLANATION OF SPECIALTY

Leo has many abilities of Hephaestus, but his specialty is Pyrokinetics, which is the ability to control and resist fire. He can summon it from nowhere with his hands. He's also very skilled with all machinery and electronics, but he has developed his fire abilities even more over the past year.
