faceguy
Series name: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Canon notes: post-season 2, pre-movie
Age: 15
Arrival Condition: Healthy! I'm being nice to him this time ^^
History: Wiki, but I also have my own history post in his journal (for this game disregard everything after he gets made leader)
Personality: On the surface, Leo seems to be your typical "class clown". He's constantly joking, including making quips and horrible puns, rarely takes anything seriously, and is obnoxiously self-aggrandizing. He's always trying to draw attention to himself and puff himself up as the best and most impressive guy in the room, even begging his brothers to call him their "champion" or trying to lead them in chants of his name at various points. He slacks off, going on missions the least out of all his brothers and always looking for ways out of his responsibilities. And he's more than willing to lie and deceive to stay out of trouble, with mixed success.
Underneath this persona, though, is a pretty insecure teenager who doesn't really have a grip on his place in the world or the role he plays in his family. Though he loudly and proudly declares himself to be the "face man," the person who schmoozes and schemes their way to victory, this is as much an act as the class clown face is. Leo struggles with feeling inadequate, panicking when he can't pick up new skills as well as he thinks he should be able to, even going so far as to declare himself "useless" when he can't use his powers as well as his brothers can. When separated from his family, Leo calls himself "nothing without them," showing he doesn't have much of a high view of himself, and isn't sure what he's supposed to do or who he's supposed to be when he's not being "Raph, Mikey, and Donnie's brother." Even something as simple as picking a codename doesn't come easily for Leo - while his brothers easily pick codenames based on their interest, Leo struggles to come up with anything other than his association with the color blue, which was something picked by his father, not Leo himself. On top of that, a lot of Leo's self-aggrandizing is rooted in a deep need to be praised and appreciated - trapping Leo in a spiral where he praises himself, annoying everyone around him, leading to him not getting the praise he needs, so he praises himself, and so on.
All his fears and insecurities have become even more apparently recently, after his dad made the sudden snap decision to make Leo the leader of the team over his older brother Raph. This was not a position Leo wanted or asked for, and he's been running full tilt away from it ever since. Of course, Leo can't just admit that he's scared of the responsibility, so he compensates by acting more obnoxious than ever: ditching training, ignoring his brothers' input into plans and attacks, and trying to do everything himself in the flashiest way possible. As a result, Leo has been spending a lot more time than ever arguing with Raph and isolating from the rest of his family, which hasn't exactly been great on his mental health.
All his showboating and insecurities aside, though, Leo is, at his core, a genuinely caring kid, who loves his family and wants the best for them. Though Leo may tease them or prank them or cheat to win at the Lair Games against them, his brothers and friends are the most important things in his life and he'd do anything for them, up to and including committing crimes on their behalf (oh yeah, and dying for them, though he hasn't quite gotten to that step yet). Leo is quick to become attached, too, declaring almost any older man who is even a little nice to him his new father figure and easily accepting new friends and allies into the fold (except Draxum - that guy threw him off a roof!). And he cares for those he doesn't know; he's often the only one of his brothers pointing out potential danger to civilians or advocating for their safety during missions (not that his brothers don't care at all, but they tend to be a little too wrapped up in what they're doing to think about those things, and Leo has to herd them as best as he can). And when Leo knows he's seriously messed up, he's willing to sincerely apologize (even if it hurts).
Leo's strengths lie in reading the situation around him and thinking fast on his feet, things that actually make him an excellent fighter in a combat situation. Of course, his fatal flaw is that he never communicates his plans with his family, but rather charges in on his own, causing them strife along the way; this is a lesson he's still learning. But even though he has things to learn, his cleverness serves him well in many areas of his life; too bad he hasn't realized yet that this is part of why his dad chose him to lead.

Abilities:
- Hamato Ninpo - Portals and Teleportation: Since they were mutated with the DNA of Hamato Yoshi, Leo and all his brothers have the ability to tap into Hamato Ninpo, a mystical power inherent in all members of their family. The Hamato Ninpo gives each of them unique abilities, and Leo's is the power to create portals and to teleport instantaneously.
- Portals: Leo's portals allow him to teleport himself, other people, and objects from one portal to another. These portals can be small enough for just his hand or large enough to fit a vehicle through. The portals maintain momentum between them, meaning he can do things like open a portal on the ground and one above it to cause someone to fall indefinitely, or can build up momentum between two portals and then change the angle to shoot an object like a cannon. (If you're familiar with the video game Portal, it's literally the same.) If something is stuck between portals when Leo closes them, that thing is at risk of being cut in half, unless it's strong enough to withstand the force or has some property that blocks mystic/magical energy.
- Teleportation: Leo is able to teleport himself from one point to another instantaneously using his katana. He typically does this by throwing one of them and then teleporting to it when it reaches its destination. Also, if someone is touching one of his katana he can teleport that person between them, basically allowing him to swap places with someone else; he can use this to pull off moves like getting close to an enemy with his superior speed and then swapping in a slower, heavier hitter to deal a big blow in his place.
Leo can only teleport between his swords as far as he can throw one of them (which is pretty far, but obviously things like physical obstacles limit this). For his portals, in RP I typically limit his abilities to portaling only within his field of vision or to places he's very familiar with (so like, he can portal from anywhere to wherever he sleeps at night, but not necessarily vice versa), but I'm willing to nerf this further if needed! - Magic Weapon Creation: Another thing his Hamato ninpo allows him to do is turn something that isn't a weapon into a weapon: specifically into his twin katana. We only see him do this once, and it's with garden shears, so I'm going to say at the very least the object has to already be pointy/bladed in nature. His swords are the only things he can make this way; he can't conjure up a gun or anything like that (that's Donnie's job).
- Heightened Mutant Abilities: Being a mutant turtle, specifically one created to be a living weapon, Leo boasts extremely high rates of speed, agility, and durability. His shell and reptile skin allow him to tank hits that would kill the average human, and he can move incredibly quickly and is easily able to hop across large gaps. He isn't invulnerable by any means, and he isn't going to be breaking the sound barrier, but he can generally move faster and withstand more than what is typically possible for a human.
- He is a Turtle: He can hold his breath for a long time and pull his body fully into his shell. I wasn't sure if this counted but here it is anyway.
Personal Item: His sleep mask (he won't think this is funny but I think it is funny)
