(Leo)Picture:
Description: Leo is a thin man with a somewhat noticeable muscle structure around his abs, forearms, and chest from running and climbing. His brown messy hair caresses the sides of his head and make bangs that cover his eyes if he doesn't brush it out of the way. His tan complexion reflects how long he has been traveling on the road, dirt lightly resting against his otherwise smooth skin. His eyes are nothing noticeable with a flat brown glimmer in them and thin eyebrows curving above them. His nose has a slight slope on it and is often referred to as a button nose.
Despite originating from the countryside, Leo dresses and looks more like someone from the city. He wears a dark red V-neck that has somewhat shorter sleeves than a regular shirt since it is aged he tucks into his pants. He wears a stylish white jacket that has several pockets with with two metal buttons on each to keep its contents sealed. The jacket is also warm since it is lined with a thin layer of fur on the inside and a zipper on the front - but there is no hood on it at all. He wears black jeans that tightly fit against his legs to show off their slimness and a black belt for the style. His shoes are simple black hiking shoes that have excellent treads on the bottom for gripping against rocks. To complete his outfit, he carries an very old looking acoustic guitar in a black canvas case on his back at all times.

Personality: Leo is often considered a gentleman despite his rural upbringings on a farm. He speaks in a playful and polite manor that is similar to most upper class families throughout the world. He believes that in order to make the world a better place for himself as well as others around him, the truth should always be told and people should be valued rather than abused. He movements and gestures are like that of a relaxed man living out in the country side. While he does have spurs of youthful moments if he is motivated enough, he enjoys lying down in the grass and relaxing with his Pokemon and friends around him just as much. Embracing the idea of making friends rather than enemies, he tries to get to know everyone around him and memorizes every fact he can about them so they can become as close as they can be. He even utilizes his skills in guitar to make better friends since he has always heard that people like music. Because of this attitude he can become attached to people around them and develop intense crushes on girls despite his control over his other emotions. Whenever something frustrates him he never gets too mad, and same can go for happiness so he never becomes overjoyed.
Because of his constant attempts to get to know everyone around him, he can be blunt on occasion and offend people around him. By always telling the truth many people have struggled to confide in him since if asked about a secret he will always tell. He never is the starter of confrontation, but if pushed to it he will be the one to finish it, either with his Pokemon or by himself. When he is by himself though all of his strengths break down and he freaks out. Not having a single Pokemon or friend around him brings back horrible memories of his childhood as an orphan, so he chooses to surround himself with someone at all times if he has the chance. Additionally, while he does have his fear of thunder under control, typically he will be startled by it and then quickly regain composure to show he is not weak. He feels that if he shows weakness, he will be abandoned, so he keeps himself calm and maintained.

- Emotional self-control

- Vitality

- Blunt
- Eremophobia
- Tonitrophobia
Biography:
Leo's actual birth date and location are unknown to both himself and everyone that knows him. Abandoned as a newborn baby in a park, Leo was found and adopted by Rita and Michelangelo on April 16 1988, which was later decided on to be his birthday. For the first few years of his life Leo was an only child and enjoyed all the attention he received from his parents. By the age of four though his younger brother was born and the attention had to be split between the two. At first he was upset, but he quickly grew to love Cameron and they became the closest of friends. Growing up out in the country side didn't give Leo many friends to play with since his family owned a farm 30 miles away from the closest city, and to add to his exclusion from society he was home schooled with his brother. He would often help on the farm by doing manual labor, and the family was able to get on by with their lives without really seeing anyone else except for a few travelers on occasion.
Leo was content with his life on the farm where he was able to learn guitar and relax whenever the farm needed no tending until the age of 17. On his 17th birthday, his parents told him that they were not related and he was adopted. While the idea of being adopted did not bother Leo, he was upset at the thought of someone not caring about him enough to be his parent. His adopted parents told him that the guitar he carries was left with him in the park he was found in, giving him his only lead to who his parents are. He decided that day that he would go across the world to track down his biological parents, and after a year of waiting, he left home to go and get a starter Pokemon. After traveling a few days, he was able to obtain the starter Pokemon Mudkip and they began their journey.
After five years of traveling, Leo was able to catch three other Pokemon and they started their own little family together since they were all so close. Going across Crescious, Sippnh, and Fluor, he was unsuccessful at finding any information about his biological parents. He has no idea who they even are, be it famous or poor and misfortuned, but he is determined to learn. Throughout his journey though he met enough interesting characters to make him interested in becoming a Pokemon professor just to know what causes Pokemon to like their trainers and be willing to obey their commands. While he hasn't made much of a name for himself in battling, those who have heard his music never forget it.
