ABILITIES
Thunder Manipulation - He can manipulate the shockwaves of thunder at will and does not need there to be a thunderstorm in order to use it. He can release the sound to deal deadly blows, liking blow up organs.
Lightning Bolt Projection - He was able to create, summon, control, and/or project lightning bolts at will. As they do not act as normal lightning bolts, he can focus them and make them more deadly. The bolts would form in his hand and when using the extent of his ability, the lightning bolt will wrap around his body.
Electricity Manipulation - He was able to manipulate electricity within any object. He can give a dead object life or take it away without much of a thought. He can use this ability at will.
Earth
Thunder Manipulation - He can manipulate thunder, but only when an active thunderstorm is present. He can no longer create the sound wave. He also can no longer make it deadly, it only causes minor injuries or a distraction.
Lightning Bolt Projection He can summon lightning on a cloudy day and project them, but he can no longer create it from thin air. They can still become deadly, but for each lightning bolt used takes some of his own energy.
Electricity Manipulation -He can take the electricity from an object, but it causes him so harm as his body is no longer used to processing electricity. He can give electricity to smaller objects without thinking about it, but the bigger the object the more energy it takes.
APPEARANCE
Leonardo is 6'1 and weighs around 195lbs. He has smooth caramel skin, that isn't free from marks and scars. When first harnessing his abilities, he had burned himself with lightning and has burn marks scattered on his body. He has scars from fights we would get in. He has closed set eyes that filled with the deepest chocolate brown hues. When he smiles, it brightens up a room and true happiness can be found. On his right inner ankle holds his district emblem. It is usually always covered with pants. His hair is dark brown/black and he usually keeps it as a mini afro on his head. Leo is toned and all his muscles are defined. He works hard to keep himself looking like he does. His style of dress is usually one that is casual and doesn't draw much attention. He usually just wears jeans or shorts if it is too hot and a tshirt of some kind. He has septum pierced that holds a silver inverted bull ring that barely pokes out. Most only notice it when they are up close and personal.
PERSONALITY
First glace at Leonardo, he tends to seem stand-offish. His resting face is apathetic and most tend to think that he is angry about something when in reality he may not be thinking about anything at all. He has been known to come off as intimidating due to his lack of friendly facial features. His smiles are reserved for friends, family, and those he loves, which doesn't leave room for many others. Leo does not care to change the way he is viewed on the outside, since the intimidation keeps people away from him and he is okay with that. Anyone that manages to get past this exterior is worth keeping around.
For the most part Leonardo is quiet. He prefers to keep to himself and he doesn't really say much unless prompted. He uses a lot of non-verbal gestures that get his feelings across. It is obvious to tell the way he is feeling when he is engaged in conversation. If he does manage to speak, he can be quite sarcastic. The sarcastic comments leave his mouth before he is able to process a legitimate response to anything. Leo uses sarcasm so often that it has been hard for others to tell when he is being serious or not. When he is extremely nervous, angry, or passionate he is able to talk your ear off. In fact, it almost becomes impossible to shut him up. The emotions explode off of him and then when he is done he will return to his apathetic state.
Despite his quiet and apathetic default setting, Leo is quite temperamental. It does not take much to trigger some emotion. His most common one is anger. The smallest things will irritate him and it can be hard to come back down. Though this doesn't happen often, he can get quite sad when someone hurts him. Even though it doesn't seem as though he has a heart, it can be damaged quite easily. Its easier to hide his feelings and remain intimidating to avoid this altogether. He rejects the notion of love as it requires vulnerability and sacrifice. Two things that he isn't willing to do for something that will possibly betray him.
Leonardo cannot sit still. Although on earth his powers are diminished, electricity courses through his blood making it hard to sit still. He is always fidgeting about or touching something. He keeps pens, fidget cubes, or fidget spinners in his pockets to keep him occupied. Since he tends to be alone quite often, he tends to be distracted by his thoughts quite often. He always tries his best to remain engaged, but sometimes he thinks about something and then he gets lost. He does manage to find his way back to the conversation, but it he might have missed important details.
HISTORY
Leonardo Taylor Magnus is the only child. He was born to Rafael and Leona Magnus. They weren't the richest family, but they had each other and that was all that mattered. The Thunder district was a wealthy one and was well established, but they all lived rather humbly. Rafael, the head councilman of the district, made sure of that. They were in charge of a very important part of Aurum and he wanted to make sure it was done smoothly and without difficulty. He was just and fair, and the people loved him. There wasn't anything not to love. His death came to a shock to everyone. Leo and his mother took it the worst. Damian Magnus, Leo's uncle and the new appointed head of the council, consoled the district and swore vengeance. There was so much muted anger between the thunder and light district, but it wasn't until this death that sent them overboard.
Leo stay far away from this war and his mother had the same idea. Neither of them wanted more death or a war. They may have been angry, but it wasn't what Rafael would have wanted. The two of them were supposed to escape the planet together as the war continued to get out of hand. Leo got on the one-man escape pod and his mother promised that she would get on one. That was the last thing he heard before the escape pod took off and crashed onto Earth. Leonardo has no idea where the last of his family is and it broke him.
Earth was different, but not difficult. He managed to settle in Canada and tried to figure out where to settle. He bounced around from job to job, well more like he was fired. Leonardo does not take orders very well and the idea of working for someone was something that he couldn't handle. People were also hard for him to handle as well. Especially since he wanted to just wallow in the fact that he was probably never going to see his family again. So without hesitation he decided to be his own boss and deal with a species that didn't annoy him. Within months he became the owner of a pet shop. He is rather young to own his own business, but this was the best alternative.
Every now and then Leonardo tries to find his mother. He thinks that she is somewhere on Earth and he does as much research as he can. He wants to see her again. If she was here then there is no need to ever go back to Aurum. Earth was home now and he did not mind staying, but his family means everything to him. Especially when he only has his mother left.
