.:Nick Name:. Nine
.:Affiliation:. Camp Jaha/Arkadia
.:Age:. Forty-Three
| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |
.:Physical Appearance:. Leo has an athletic build which he gained from countless hours of manual labor in factory station. Though he is tall, he doesn’t have an intentionally intimidating stance—unless he has reason to be. The man keeps his head shaved and his facial hair trimmed and manageable as he always has. It frames his widest jaw with a darker shadow. His almond shaped eyes are so dark they appear black in color and shallow when not in the light. He keeps his clothing simple; wearing a grey top and loose fitted pants from the ark. Keeping it light helps him as he works around Arkada.
.:Height:. 6'2
.:Portrayed by:. Shemar Moore

.:Personality:. Leo is kind, selfless and protective. Though he may always be busy with a project or a work order, there has never been a time where he’s rejected the opportunity to help a friend in need. He has a pacifistic nature about him that some wouldn’t expect. On the ark, he was a supervisor in factory station and did his best to keep everybody looked after. It was hard to work when you were underfed or thirsty, and he did his best to do what the chancellors of that time could not. This need to protect bled into his personal life as well, on the Ark and on the ground. Despite landing in farm station and going through countless Azgeda attacks, he still managed to cling to his core beliefs and pacifist nature.
.:Special Skills:. Though he worked in factory station, Leo is a great repairman and has a knack for figuring out what makes something tick—or in most cases, stop ticking. He’s not particularly skilled in combat, but he does what he needs to do. His true skills lie in his ability to negotiate with and care for others.

.:Birthplace:. The Ark
.:Family:. Leo has one daughter named Elena who came down with the delinquents. She is still alive. His parents and Elena's mother however are gone.
.:Occupation:. Maintenance
.:History:. Leo was born to two factory workers. He learned the trades when he was young and was very good at repurposing older wares and improving them. Though he always wanted to be a mechanic, his parents pushed him towards factory work so that he could learn the trades same as them. They could teach him more that way, which at the time was important to them. The boy was young when he started working in the factory station, but his nimble fingers helped him with more detailed work. As he grew up, his charismatic nature helped him climb ranks and eventually he became the supervisor of his department.
In this time, he had a relationship with a young woman who worked in his department. They married when Leo was thirty years old and soon after had a child together. Unfortunately, his wife didn't survive the labor and his child Elena had to be removed surgically. It was traumatic, but there was never a time that Leo held any resentment against Elena or even the ark for his wife's death. Though emotional, he understood the risks that came with childbirth and the resources that the ark could spare. He raised Elena as well as he was able. However, when she was six years old she was caught stealing deserts from a unity day meal. It was such a childish thing to do, but because she was caught she was arrested. Leo tried everything to get her out of the arrest... It wasn't fair in his eyes to punish a child for stealing something so trivial. It didn't matter though; and Elena spent the rest of her childhood in prison with very limited visitation.
Since it happened, Leo's only seen his child once every year on her birthday. Since she was sent down with the dropship, he hopes to be reunited-- however after landing in Farm Station and surviving countless attacks from Azgeda that hope has been rung through.
