AppearanceAt six foot and one inch in height Leo is a fairly tall individual. He is of an average build but beneath his clothing is a hidden, finely toned physique. His dark brown hair changes often, going from long and free flowing to short all over regularly. All the while his eyes are a shade of blue that many a girl has lost themselves in, even when Leo hasn't been interested. At present his face is cuddled by a short beard which he is unsure about keeping.
In terms of fashion Leo has no real style and will wear anything that suits the occassion. He is as comfortable in shorts and t-shirt as he is in suit. However, a large portion of his shirts have led to him being called
Lumberjack.
HistoryLeo is the son of Andrew Sullivan, a British Doctor, and the Greek Goddess Artemis. The two met after an accident occured during a charity hike in the Brecon Beacons. Andrew was raising money for cancer research when one of his party took a tumble down a rocky slope. The person came to rest at the base of the steep slope in a critical condition. Andrew needed to administer first aid as soon as possible to give them the best chance for survival. He was provided with two options, go down the steep slope and risk injuring himself or take the long way around. As he had always been, Andrew chose the selfless option. He made his way down the slope cautiously and within a minute he was next to his injured companion. What Andrew didn't know was that Artemis was watching from a distance.
When help finally arrived and the group went their separate ways, Andrew returned to his car to find a woman waiting for him. She was heavily underdressed for the Welsh winter, wearing a skirt that barely scraped the knee. She introduced herself as Artemis and began to ask him why he risked his life for the other person. The pair spoke without pause for almost an hour before Andrew suggested going to a nearby pub. There the conversation carried on into the early hours of the morning before retiring to Andrews bedroom.
Andrew fully expected to wake up in his bed alone, believing everything that happened to be a dream. When he rolled over and saw the back of Artemis he felt a warmth fill his body. From that day the pair kept in contact and met up regularly, meeting when Andrews' work would allow it. That was until one day Artemis appeared at his front door with the news that she was pregnant. It was then she revealed to Andrew exactly who and what she was. She feared his rejection but found nothing but love. Artemis, against the wishes of her father, decided to stay with Andrew.
The couple were greeted by a baby boy before the year ended and decided on the name Leo. Both parents cried tears when he emerged in the world, sharing a happiness that neither expected they would feel in their lifetime. The birth of Leo cemented Andrew and Artemis' feelings for each other.
The years flew by for both parents, enjoying the unique life they had crafted for themselves. In between Andrew's work and Artemis' godly duties, they spent their time raising Leo. The youngsters talents first emerged as a young with his natural ability to hit a target. Throwing balls straight into the hands of his father or being able to easily find his mother in hide and seek. His ability to communicate with animals soon followed before his ability to manipulate nature arrived a few days before his tenth birthday.
From an early age Leo was told of the Academy so that when his sixteenth birthday arrived, he knew that he would be leaving his home but that didn't make it any easier. While his time with his parents was often split and rarely shared, he loved them both and having to leave was difficult for him. It took him a month to adjust to his new environment but has settled in well.

Personality β Adventurous β Empathetic β Intelligent β Stubborn β Opinionated β Defensive _______________ |
_____________________ Leo is very much a people person, willing to talk to whoever is willing to listen. He likes to laugh and joke but has no qualms about being someones shoulder to cry on. Compassion is strong within Leo and his loyalty to his friends is second to none. He is strong willed, verging on stubborn at times, but will always do whatever he can to help his friends. He regularly stands up to bullies sometimes to his own detriment.
Adventure is a big part of his philosophy and is part of the reason why he spends alot of time hiking and camping. He loves the peace and solace that nature brings, using it to break up what is often a very loud life in the Academy. When it comes to nature he can get quite defensive over it, particularly if he sees someone purposefully harming it. He sees it as a personal slight against his mother. |
