Brief History:
Growing up on an island far away from any metropolitan area, Leo never had much else to do but build things. His favorite thing to do was build furniture out of the drift wood that would come up on the beach. His mother was a skilled metal artist, his adoptive father was a architectural engineer; on the island they were some of the most revered citizens. Their only natural born son was considered a child prodigy, he built his first house at age twelve with his own bare hands, it was a small little cottage like home, that he designed with a bright open bay window looking out over the sea so he could dream about going beyond what he was use to.
Leo never had many friends due to his parents removing him from school, this was because the small school had no idea how to handle his dyslexia and ADHD. They told Madalyn and Hosea that he would never succeed beyond just being a manual laborer; his parents refused to allow this to go on, they knew their son was destined for greatness, they were going to make sure this was going to happen. Leo did have one good friend, his name was Joseph, he was stuck in a wheelchair because of some birth defect, but Leo made sure to make everything he built wheelchair accessible just for Joseph. They hired a private tutor who was able to help Leo learn how to focus better on learning his basics, but also helped him learn that his dream was to be just like his parents and work in design and architecture.
Sadly, once he was finally at his happiest things had to change, his tutor had to go on maternity leave his mother hired a temporary replacement, during one of his sessions the tutor turned to Leo, baring his teeth like a rabid animal. Leo jumped up and ran away quickly, not sure how he should react, he climbed up into the loft of his home, the tutor climbed the stairs savagely, as soon as he arrived at the top, Leo grabbed hold of his favorite hammer, which instantly turned into a large medieval style hammerhead weapon. He stared at the enormous weapon in his hand, then back at his tutor whose teeth had turned to razor sharp layers. As his tutor came at him, Leo forced the hammer forward slamming it into the animals chin, knocking him back. Leo ran out of his house trying to find someone to help, his friend Joseph came driving up and grabbed his hand yanking him into the car as they sped off.
In the car Joseph explained how Hosea was not his real father, that in fact his real father was the god Hephaestus, his mother had become pregnant and did not know what do due to her conservative background, she wound up marrying the love of her life when she was six months pregnant and they decided to just pretend that Leo was their only natural born son, sadly Madalyn could never conceive again after coming together with Hephaestus due to Hera finding it disgusting for anyone to lay with the god. Leo was taken to Camp Half Blood where he came to the realization that he was bisexual, due to his lack of being around anyone his own age during his life on the island he never really developed sexually, he is in no way flamboyant, in fact he seems like a mans man, but that is just what he is a man's man, he sees beauty in both sexes.
Personality:
Loud, sometimes obnoxious, a little raunchy, but always entertaining and up for a good time. He keeps his feelings in check and avoids confrontation unless it comes at him head on, then he has zero problems with taking control of the situation. He also has a very kind, sweet, devoted side to him in which very few people get to see, he deeply loves his parents and accepts that they made him who he is today. He does not refer to Hephaestus as his father, yet his sperm donor.

Theme Song:
Evans Blue:: Erase My Scars
Lyrics
Reckless and weary
The truth has been buried
Held down by the hand
That refuses to carry
The burden you built
The lies, do you hear me?
The insult, the white flag
You refuse to carry
I'm letting you go
And all that you showed me
I'm letting you know
That you don't control me
The feeling is cold
And life is unfolding
Reckless and weary
I'm desperately holding on
So if you can't get a word in
Its because I don't care what you think
Don't be alone inside
A world that's filled with make-believe
Broke! Inside
This life, you can never be reborn within
I came this far erase my scars
Fight! This time
Inside, take a break from the lie you live
I came this far erase my scars
Find my control
Find reasons to beat this
Find truth below
The lies and the wreckage
I can't let go
I'm too close, too restless
I'm letting you know
I'm far too aggressive
So if you can't get a word in
Its because I don't care what you think
Don't be alone inside
A world that's filled with make-believe
Broke! Inside
This life, you can never be reborn within
I came this far erase my scars
Fight! This time
Inside, take a break from the lie you live
I came this far erase my scars
Five years ago
My life was affected
By years of hope and learning life lessons
You let me know
By leaving me helpless
What then was unknown is now unprotected
Im so!
Broke! Inside
This life, you can never be reborn within
I came this far erase my scars
Fight! This time
Inside, take a break from the lie you live
I came this far erase my scars
