CANON INFORMATION
CHARACTER NAME: Leonardo
CANON: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
HISTORY: Rise!Leo on Turtlepedia
As an action/comedy fandom with a more lighthearted approach than its former adaptations, life in the sewer is actually really comfortable for the Rise brothers. With their lax father, they aren't made to train every single day, and get to more or less enjoy teenhood than shoulder the responsibilities of being NYC's night time vigilantes. Heroism is a choice they make on their own when certain new mutants decide to use their powers for less than wholesome purposes.
STRENGTHS:
♔ Charismatic - Compared to the discipline and solemness of other Leo's, Rise!Leo works as an emotional support for his brothers when he's not teasing them, when they're discouraged, Leo is sincere and brings them up with all the good points he remembers about them. His words are his greatest asset and he uses them to convince others that things will work out, to listen to his way of thinking, and/or to take a reasonable commanding aura when need be. He's sensitive to others' emotions, which, ironically, leads to him being mean in the nicest way possible. He will antagonize and rile up, but never outright insult.
♔ Quick-thinking - Usually used to joke around and selectively agitate others, Leo is a quick thinker and great at making plans on the fly. Leo has natural street-smarts, being surprisingly cautious and a decent judge of character, he was the first to feel malicious intent before the rest of his brothers when they seemed to have made a new ally. Despite his fears and occasional panic, he never really gets his analytical brain fully clouded. When not under threat of danger? He'll probably be annoying you with one-liners and puns, oops.
♔ Compassionate - When it comes to strangers Leo generally finds harmony important, and whenever he messes up, he likes to be able to make up for it. He's a bit shameless with personal boundaries, throwing a shoulder over an acquaintance and pretending they're already friends. This is a facade mostly, but when it makes him some genuine companions, he's very happy. Comical and generally relaxed, he doesn't really dwell on upset feelings for that long. It takes some extreme measures to get Leo to seriously dislike anyone.
FLAWS:
♔ Insecure - After obtaining their mystic weapons and lagging behind in development, Leo was remarkably ready to stride into a dangerous situation where magic wasn't allowed to prove he wasn't useless, understandably upsetting his brothers. There are throwaway lines he tosses that he's probably the "least favorite", "he's nothing without his brothers", and that he jokes to cope, confirming his bravado is a front. When it comes to his knowledge and beliefs, he doesn't take well to being wrong, and enjoys claiming "he's always right", panicking when mistaken. He's also got a clumsiness on his feet that is specific to his red-eared slider biology, sorry Leo.
♔ Mischievous - Leo is a ruthless snark machine, and enjoys messing around with his brothers for fun and sport. Generally he knows to not go too far, but sometimes he wants to pick fights and he's really good at it, as well as accidental cases where it happens anyway. In the heat of battle, he's also likely to unnecessarily banter with the enemy rather than focus properly; if confident, he's like a cat that plays with its food. Donnie actually zap collars him once in an attempt to get him to stop him from being distracted.
♔ Directionless - Compared to the strength of Raph, the intelligence of Donnie, and the artistry of Mikey, Leo's just kind of having a good time, without any ambition. It's been implied more than once that he probably has the ability to take the reigns of leadership, but has no desire for it. The most obvious thing he's praised himself for outside of his humor and wit is his physical appearance, dubbing himself the prettiest. Leo has exhibited thrill from his ep of fame in the episode Shell in a Cell, and if it weren't for the whole mutant situation he would probably relish a life where he could be popular.
CANON ABILITIES: Rise!Leo on Turtlepedia once again
An unlisted one is the versatility the Rise brothers have in using their environment due to being essentially trained/raised on universe-equivalent Jackie Chan movies.
AU INFORMATION
AU CHARACTER NAME: Leonardo
AGE: 16
GRADE: 11
AU BACKSTORY:
♔ Along with similar turtle-shaped Fey, a Daemon warrior alchemist had planned to raise them into soldiers, to use them in the cause of overthrowing humanity for Nightfall. The one who would become their father, a changed wererat picked out for his remarkable strength and wit even as a normal human in a battle tournament, Leo's father destroys the Daemon's lab and escapes with the four babies. The escape from the Outlands is not without accident, but they all come out alive.
♔ New York City ends up their exit point, and well aware of the risks and discrimination that they would inevitably face, they were raised in the sewers. Hunters were a problem sometimes. Though Leo doesn't remember any specific instance of them hurting his family aside from scaring them out of their wits with rapid evacuation until they got used to it, he is distrustful of their line of profession by default.
♔ Leo becomes accustomed to not eating that much or expecting a lot. He rarely spoils himself, even if he shares the same fondness OU Leo does with fashion and sweet things. He tries to resist, but it's hard and sometimes he caves in anyway with buying them. Fortunately, his father doesn't chastise him for it, he actually encourages them to hold onto what makes them happy, but he still ends up feeling guilty whenever it's for himself and not to share.
♔ When they're old enough to understand, he and his brothers began training-- but to escape from bad situations, first and foremost. Leo had a particularly good non-combative skill-set, which he hoped would impress his father, but he ended up with the worst learning curve and ended up with lasting self-esteem issues. Self-defense training for worse case scenarios came later, with Leo choosing to train in swordsmanship.
♔ One day he finally fails in fighting off arrest, and the one to bail him out saw promise in sending the Fey to Daybreak. Going to the academy was a begrudging experience for Leo. He does figure the tutelage will be good for him, but with and without it, he has incurred a great number of property accidents since his stay (to which, some suspected he was trying to get kicked out on purpose; Leo laughs and refuses to comment). For while he's a LCW, he's maintained contact with his family, but despises he couldn't give them a proper goodbye.
♔ He's enjoying that posh lifestyle that he never imagined he'd live in his wildest dreams though, and actually not having to be in hiding. Everything considered, he's slowly adjusting to the idea of actually staying for the long-term. Slowly.
AU PERSONALITY DEVIATION:
♔ Rather than the relatively comfortable lifestyle Rise uses, the AU uses a more realistic backdrop of an underground citizen of a city who can't easily reveal themselves to humans. Leo is a bit more hardened, experienced, and casually cynical, but still uses comedy to cope and doesn't let it show on his face. He has some degree of depression.
♔ Generally canon Leo's snippy attitude is good-humored, but with prior experience of discrimination, AU Leo doesn't hesitate to also give backhanded compliments when he dislikes someone. He's also less likely to back down from a fight after a background of running, even if his nervousness still exists he'll sometimes be too stubborm to back off an emotionally charged argument if without supervision.
♔ Contrary to the call of heroism that sounded so exciting to the OU brothers restricted to one NYC, AU Leo fights Nightfall more or less because he was drafted into it. He's one Fey, and that's a whole end of the world thing! If it weren't for his family, he'd care a lot less about the situation. As he makes new bonds though, that is definite to change as part of his development.
♔ Because of his older and more appropriately romantic age, he's a little bit flirty! He doesn't actually expect it to go anywhere, but he figures he might as well throw out those cheesy pick-up-lines to boys who won't nervously back away from his entire existence. It ends up being more of a friendly thing with pals who aren't bothered by it.
RACE: Outlander Fey
SECRET SOCIETY: n/a
POWERS:
♔ Teleportation - In-canon powered by a magical sword, making it a Feycraft instead would justify Leo's unreliability with wielding it, as compared to the general certainty in the functions of Runic Inscription. Leo's teleportation circles tend to be his size and do not end up in locations he expects. He has the potential to make larger circles, but not reliably. Sometimes he ends up with tiny, relatively useless portals. Other people can use his teleportation circles for while they are open.
♔ Super speed - Implied in canon and amped up for the AU, Leo initially used this to defy the "slow and steady wins the race" the Tortoise and the Rabbit story, finding the moral stupid when you can have both smarts and speed. Leo can do great sprints, and use it for absurd jumps and parkour. He is a klutz though. Trips, slips, and bad landings would happen even without boosting it with Feycraft.
♔ Turtle physiology - Leonardo is able to retract into his shell, hold his breath for long periods of time, and swim well for long distances. He has heightened durability and stamina. He also has the cold-bloodedness, and feels drowsy during the colder seasons alongside other weaknesses.
♔ Feycraft accidents - Leo's absolutely gotten stuck phasing through objects instead of proper teleportation. In the very bad luck he teleports into a living thing's space, they have to be a chimera together for a short while. His super speed may also backfire in a small area, slowing down others instead or flinging objects (and others) that are not himself forward. Other more random Feycraft accidents not derived from his skill-set will probably happen in-game, with extreme ones going through mod permission first.

INTERVIEW SAMPLE PROMPT
1. WHAT DO YOU MOST DESIRE FOR YOUR EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE?

Aww, I'm a studying fiend. I am going to absorb all the knowledge in your esteemed halls and attend every single class. Count on it, I'm going to be the best student without even trying. Okay, with a little trying. (lie)

... Eh. I dunno, I guess if we didn't even have to separate them into good and bad Outlanders? I don't know how likely that is, even if I'm in this room with you... youuu lovely people.
15. WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE DO YOU FEAR THE MOST?
Yikes. Okay you know, I'm a live in the present sort of guy, you know! But I mean, nobody likes the idea of living without their family. If they're okay... then I'll be okay. Moving on, right? Can we do that?
16. WHAT MEMORIES DO YOU HOPE TO HOLD AT THE END OF YOUR JOURNEY?
I-- I'm 16 and I did not want to walk out of here with an existential crisis, c'mon! ... But you know, I'd-- Like to feel like I did something good for the world and junk. Yeah.
17. WHAT IN THE FUTURE DO YOU MOST LOOK FORWARD TO?
Dinner. Haha. I'm joking. Kinda.
