Appearance
General Leo is a very tall muscular tanned caucasian man in his early thirties but looks very much younger than this. He has hardened bones with a squared formed jaw and intense facial expressions that intimidates most people. Leo has a straight, gelled up, blonde mohawk that is perfectly symmetrical and fits well the shape of his face. Leo also has bulky lips and very intense blue eyes that resembles the deep ocean colors.
Leo wears a forest green coat over a militia vest decorated with golden straps and honors. His coat goes all the way down to his ankles, decorated with feathered designs. He combines his vest with the same style of war pants and hardened leather boots with a piece of iron on the toes for hand to hand combat. On his forehead, he bears the Amber Circlet with serves pretty much the same purpose of the crown Terra wore during the Kefka's reign.
Personality:
Leo is a honorable man which relies on pacifism before engaging into battle. He fearlessly fights for what he believes is right, even though, his loyalty and oath blinds his own judgement. He poses an heroic example for most of the people and also serves as a figure for the future generations.
As a general, he dislikes cowardice and betrayal, he also punishes wrong behavior, lack or morals and ethics and abuse. He will dare crush anyone who disobeys a superior order and put discipline upon them. Most of his weakness is his blind loyalty and obsessive need to follow his superior's orders, even though, it might not be the correct choice. As a civilian, Leo is a relaxed man that enjoys a fine glass of wine while appreciating classical music from the opera. He is very commended to people and used to love sharing with them.
History:
General Leo was born in Vector, the empire's capital as the son of a formidable militant family renown for their loyalty to the emperor. He grew up in constant training to become a fine soldier and so he did. Starting as a recruit, he quickly rose up to captain, lieutenant and then in his middle twenties he was honored with the rank of General along with Kefka Palazzo and Celes Chere. He gained quite a reputation and was highly respected by the empire for his honors and successful missions.
Leo was one of the few that rejected the magitek infusion developed by Kefka, therefore, starting a dispute between Kefka and Leo for the brutal measurements of the sadistic general. Leo started to question the vision of the empire, when he was the first to realize the madness in which Kefka was getting succumbed and the Emperor did nothing but to let the scientist continue his gruesome research. Loyal to his beliefs and the empire, Leo remained silent and followed orders as usual, even ignoring the suffering of Terra Branford when she was turned into a biological weapon. Leo felt ashamed and disgraced of his rank when he was unable to stop the Doma Massacre at the scrupulous plans of Kefka.
When the Espers started the rebelion, Leo was the first one to suggest a piece treaty with the magical beings. With the agreement of the Emperor and The Returners, Leo joined their leader Terra and her companion Locke to forge the treaty in the neutral grounds in Thamassa. On their way, Leo asked Terra letting Kefka use her as a weapon and not standing up for her. They have a heart to heart conversation and then arrive in Thamassa. Leo and The Returners, were surprised by a crazed Kefka who trapped the espers and turned into magicite, making Leo a traitor who ambushed the naive beast kind.
Leo then confronted the maddened General but was overpowered by his insane magical powers and then impaled to death by the crazy clown. Kefka then disgraced him even more by saying he was murdered for betraying the Empire, thus, cleaning his name and dirtying Leo's. General Leo then dies in the arms of the returners and they, to honor his deeds, built a grave with his name and sword in the outskirts of Thamassa. His entire family was loss when Kefka used the Ray of Judgement across the world.
After the world is restored... Leo is brought back from the land of the death by an unknown entity and placed in the same position Terra was. He then oaths his loyalty to whoever revived him and went to serve his purpose as a biological weapon...

Role Play Sample:
It was pitching dark, not a single sign of light neither a sound. It was a total solitude, full of despair and hopeless expectations. Only he could feel his involuntary breathing, his lungs filling with oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. Yet, this was very depressing. To see beyond the darkness, he only needed to open his eyes, still, he was unable. However, he started to hear cries and screams of pain all around him… that’s when he was able to widely open his eyes to see the world once again… not like he remembered though.
It was a demonic place, filled with bubbly magma and carved with otherworld designs. The heat, the stench of death and the demonic chills was unbearable in this place. The man, now with a regained consciousness, stood on his two feet and looked upon his surroundings. He checked his entire body to see no harm or mark from the last battle he remembered. ”Am I in hell? Is this the punishment I must bear for not stepping to what was right?” He closed his eyes once again to imagine the world he used to live; only blurred memories could come to his mind… specially that one from Celes Chere, the woman whom he had feelings for. He then remembered his mistakes, his misdeeds and his cowardice when Kefka took over the empire and he did nothing to stop it. He bit his lips and nodded in agreement to the fate placed upon his soul. ”So be it…”
An amber piece of crystal emerged from the hellish ground. It then shaped into different forms until it then resembled a mirror image of him standing and staring at him. ”General Leo Cristophe, I dare summon you to this realm for only one purpose…. Your most loyal and blind service!” An awkward voice whispered in his ear as the manikin merged with an unable to move Leo. The general then fell to his knees as an amber circlet formed on his forehead, keeping him in a mindless state that no one was going to be able to retrieve. He could speak only to his own mind, within the puppet he was turned into. Yet, his actions were to be commanded by the strings set upon his nervous system.
”This is my punishment. Once I allowed beloved Terra to play puppet and now serve me well for keeping myself ignorant to the obvious truth. Forgive me all, but my hands are tied…” Leo spoke to his inner self realizing what really happened. There is nothing he can do but to accept he was brought to the living world once again and that he must oath that.
Then in front of him, a void opened, revealing a portal that lead to Thamassa, the town were his grave was settled by the Returners. In there, his sword was placed. Leo then, seeking to retrieve and wield his sword once again, walked into the portal disappearing from the hell he was summoned.
