[ Canon Point ] : Immediately after the end of the fight to release Origin's seal.
[ History ] :
Here have a wiki
[ Personality ] :
Kratos is a very complacent guy, life having kicked him down so hard he finds it incredibly difficult to act on anything under his own volition. He'd like to believe that family is of highest importance to him, but he's already proved to himself through his betrayal of Lloyd and his group that that's not the case (though he takes refuge in the excuse that he's been loyal to Mithos and Cruxis for 4,000 years and a bond like that cannot be broken, despite Mithos' goals). As such, Kratos often simply believes he deserves anything terrible that happens to him, even if he could prevent it, and gets yanked around by those he once considered friends, seemingly having very little will of his own. It's not because he doesn't have it, it's because he doesn't care to. He's lost so much; watched his friend and pupil turn into a raving megalomaniac, lost his wife, and his child. It's simply easier for him to be pushed and pulled around by others than to make a decision and worsen things. At this point, he has somewhat of a dependant personality, essentially unmotivated to do much of anything unless directed by someone else.
That's not to say he doesn't have things he deems as important. Despite his friend's turn to cruelty, Kratos values his loyalty to Mithos. He doesn't throw his trust behind people lightly and it's very difficult to move Kratos once he's actually made a decision. He has no qualms about sacrificing himself for a cause if he really believes it's the right thing to do. It takes four millenia and Lloyd's idealist urging to even get Kratos to consider that Mithos may be wrong. Kratos is very old. He doesn't like change and is very slow to change himself. Even so, he can change. Following Lloyd's lead, Kratos chooses to undo the seal on Origin, though he knows it will likely kill him and that it's going against Mithos and Cruxis.
In a nutshell, Kratos is steadfast, loyal, powerful and entirely unmotivated. He is a wonderful ally but does not make for a good leader, preferring others to decide on a course of action. Though he is patient and not unkind, it wouldn't be wise to turn to him for comfort - he's definitely a fatalist.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Kratos is incredibly strong in battle. As a child he was basically an army brat and it seems he's never stopped fighting since, gaining even more power when fused with a Cruxis Crystal. As such, he's very focused and controlled with his skills. Despite being so powerful, he holds back quite a bit, never using more power than is necessary to engage any opponent.
For all his prowess though, Kratos fails miserably at emotions. He barely knows how to feel them, much less show them, and will often simply sit there and take whatever tongue lashing is being dealt by deciding he probably deserves it, even if it's way over the top or out of line. Kratos's biggest weakness is his lack of self-motivation. As strong as he is, he's simply unlikely to DO anything. He's incredibly passive and it takes a ridiculous amount of urging or manipulation to spur him to action - unless Lloyd is in real trouble. Without Cruxis to stop him, Kratos is much more likely to want to protect his son, even if he has to do it in secret because he's unsure of how Lloyd feels about it.
[ Other Important Facts ] :
Kratos HATES tomatoes. Hates 'em.

[ Questions? Comments? Concerns? ] :
Nope! Though if he's accepted I won't be introing him until after the event.

Give us more information on how he is steadfast, how he is patient and not unkind. Tell us about how he is a fatalist and give us more on what he thinks on things like, say, other peoples' opinions, or how he deals with kindness. Just show us more about him!

[ Character's Name ] : Perrin Aybara
[ Character's Age ] : 22
[ Series ] : The Wheel of Time
[ Canon Point ] : Book 13, after his battle with Slayer
[ History ] :
Here!
[ Personality ] :
Perrin is steady and methodical; he is someone who takes his time to do things right. When he was growing up, he was often mistaken for being slow-witted and more of a follower than a leader, because his friends would always be quicker to answer than him. Despite becoming a de facto lord and leader of a great army, Perrin still sees the world as a blacksmith. For small matters, he relies on simple common sense. For larger problems, he prefers to consider all their angles and understand how the pieces fit together before acting, as a blacksmith must know what he's making and how its pieces need to fit together before he can begin his work. This has enabled him, at least in some instances, to avoid conflicts which his friends probably would have jumped straight into. However it can also make him appear indecisive or cowardly.
Another main facet of Perrin's personality is his ability to throw himself into something single-mindedly. It's something that shows itself in all aspects of his life. That level of focus can be useful at times, but it can also be dangerous. When in the Wolf Dream, he is constantly warned that he is there too strongly, that he projects his will too much into the dream, rather than anchoring himself in reality. He also tends to deal with only one problem at a time, not able to concern himself with anything else until the most important issue is dealt with. When his wife Faile was kidnapped, it became his only priority. He neglected his current mission and his duties to the people he led, and did things to reach his goal that he would not normally have done. He forged a temporary alliance with the Seanchan and participated in the torture of prisoners, even chopping off someone's hand, although he was so disgusted with himself afterwards that he discarded his axe.
He associates this aspect of himself with the wolf in him, although he has begun to realize that it's something fundamental to himself, rather than to being a wolf. When hunting with the pack in the Wolf Dream, Perrin was notably the only one who went in for the kill when they had caught their prey. The other wolves knew to hold back, but Perrin had forgotten the hunt wasn't real. Still, one of his greatest fears is that he will one day become the wolf too fully, and lose the human part of himself. He has seen this happen to another wolfbrother, and for a long time he rejected the wolf in him, or called out to the wolves only when he desperately needed the help. Recently he has come to accept that he needs to understand that part of himself, and he sought guidance from Hopper in the Wolf Dream. However, although he feels more at ease with the wolf in him, he has not yet found his balance, and still fears losing himself.
Because of the way he views himself--as a simple blacksmith and also as a man in danger of becoming a beast--Perrin often thinks he is inadequate. He harbors doubts about how suitable he is for his wife, and about how capable he is of leading his people. Perrin dislikes conflict and leadership, and will avoid them when possible. However, he is a capable leader both on and off the battlefield, and has the respect of those who follow him.
Self-doubt or no, Perrin can be stubborn, and once he's made up his mind about something it's difficult to sway him. Even in disagreements with Rand, the all powerful Dragon Reborn, he refused to back down. He still tends to be bulldozed in arguments with women, although he's getting better at standing his ground since his wife actually enjoys it. Perrin is honest and straightforward, sometimes to the extent of being overly blunt, and certainly lacks the silver tongue of a politician, preferring to leave matters of diplomacy to Faile. His values are simple, country values, and he stands by them. He insisted on following his village's tradition involving a one-year engagement period, although Faile convinced the village wise women that she and Perrin had known each other for a year and it was basically the same thing, much to his astonishment. He becomes deeply upset at rumors that he was unfaithful to his wife. Later on he refuses to promise his future children to arranged marriages for political gain, insisting they be allowed to choose.
Although he has a reputation for a fierce temper and cuts an intimidating figure, Perrin is at heart a gentle man. Unlike his friends, he would have been content living out his life as a village blacksmith, and he does not crave adventure. He will resort to violence to defend those he loves, and Light help anyone who does incur that anger, but he will never strike unprovoked. Likewise he will not often raise his voice. He has difficulty holding a grudge, and in repeated encounters with the Whitecloaks, expresses more unease and frustration than real anger. He often thinks of himself using the metaphor of the hammer-- a hammer can be used to kill, but it can also be used to create. With all the conflict his world is facing right now, fighting is unavoidable, but after the dust settles he is someone who wants to be able to set weapons aside and create something.
[ Strengths/Abilities ] :
♦ Wolfbrother - Perrin has a very strong affinity with wolves. He can sense nearby wolves (within a few miles) and communicate with them telepathically, though they don't use words exactly. He also has enhanced vision and hearing, and a sense of smell strong enough to pick up on emotions.
♦ Dreamwalker - Like all wolves, Perrin has the ability to enter Tel'aran'rhiod, the world of dreams, which mirrors the world of reality but without most of its people. In Tel'aran'rhiod, thought is stronger than any other power (including the One Power aka magic), and Perrin is incredibly adept at bending this world to his thoughts--similar to lucid dreaming.
♦ Battle Prowess - Perrin has the powerful arms of a blacksmith and wields a hammer. He has fought in a number of battles against both monsters and Aiel, who are known for being skilled warriors.
[ Weaknesses ] :
♦ Faile - Well, like anyone in love, Perrin would do crazy things for the sake of his wife. He will also feel somewhat lost and incomplete without her in Vatheon.
♦ Losing Himself - Next to losing Faile, what Perrin fears most is losing himself to the wolf inside him. Especially without Faile, who is his anchor for remembering his human self.
[ Sample ] :
Third Person:
Perrin woke with a sense of pain and loss. Some of that pain was physical, with the wounds he'd sustained in the Wolf Dream, but that was nearly drowned out by the deep sadness he felt. Hopper... He wanted to howl, but at the same time he felt too drained. He just wanted to lie there in his tent and...
He was not in his tent. The realization cut through his sorrow, and he struggled to gather his wits. For an instant only he thought that the army might have started moving even while he was unconscious, but he was not being carried anywhere. He was lying on the stone of some city street. None of its sounds or smells were familiar, and that pervasive wrongness that had hung around the road to Lugard and in the Wolf Dream was gone, replaced by something different. No, wherever this was it still felt wrong somehow, but it was not the sense of a snare slowly drawing shut.
But if he was not in the Wolf Dream, and he was not in the waking world with Faile and his camp, then where was he? Was it possible that, as he had stepped out of the Wolf Dream, he had only retreated into his own dreams and not woken? Even as he tried again to wake himself, he knew that was not the case. It did not feel like a dream. He just could not understand how he had come to this place, wherever it was.
He nearly lay back and shut his eyes, wanting nothing more than to rest and to mourn, but in an unknown place, neither of those options were safe. There had been some trap waiting to spring on him, and if one of the Forsaken was responsible for this... Well, he did not know why nothing had come to finish him off, but he had no intention of waiting for it. With a groan, Perrin struggled to pick himself up and find some answers.
First Person:
[Perrin stares at the SFC in concentration. He doesn't really understand how it works; it wasn't explained to him in terms of the Power, but he can only equate it to some kind of ter'angreal. But for everyone to have one...? What sort of place is this?

[ Canon Point ] : Book 13, after his battle with Slayer
[ History ] :
Here!
[ Personality ] :
Perrin is steady and methodical; he is someone who takes his time to do things right. When he was growing up, he was often mistaken for being slow-witted and more of a follower than a leader, because his friends would always be quicker to answer than him. Despite becoming a de facto lord and leader of a great army, Perrin still sees the world as a blacksmith. For small matters, he relies on simple common sense. For larger problems, he prefers to consider all their angles and understand how the pieces fit together before acting, as a blacksmith must know what he's making and how its pieces need to fit together before he can begin his work. This has enabled him, at least in some instances, to avoid conflicts which his friends probably would have jumped straight into. However it can also make him appear indecisive or cowardly.
Another main facet of Perrin's personality is his ability to throw himself into something single-mindedly. It's something that shows itself in all aspects of his life. That level of focus can be useful at times, but it can also be dangerous. When in the Wolf Dream, he is constantly warned that he is there too strongly, that he projects his will too much into the dream, rather than anchoring himself in reality. He also tends to deal with only one problem at a time, not able to concern himself with anything else until the most important issue is dealt with. When his wife Faile was kidnapped, it became his only priority. He neglected his current mission and his duties to the people he led, and did things to reach his goal that he would not normally have done. He forged a temporary alliance with the Seanchan and participated in the torture of prisoners, even chopping off someone's hand, although he was so disgusted with himself afterwards that he discarded his axe.
He associates this aspect of himself with the wolf in him, although he has begun to realize that it's something fundamental to himself, rather than to being a wolf. When hunting with the pack in the Wolf Dream, Perrin was notably the only one who went in for the kill when they had caught their prey. The other wolves knew to hold back, but Perrin had forgotten the hunt wasn't real. Still, one of his greatest fears is that he will one day become the wolf too fully, and lose the human part of himself. He has seen this happen to another wolfbrother, and for a long time he rejected the wolf in him, or called out to the wolves only when he desperately needed the help. Recently he has come to accept that he needs to understand that part of himself, and he sought guidance from Hopper in the Wolf Dream. However, although he feels more at ease with the wolf in him, he has not yet found his balance, and still fears losing himself.
Because of the way he views himself--as a simple blacksmith and also as a man in danger of becoming a beast--Perrin often thinks he is inadequate. He harbors doubts about how suitable he is for his wife, and about how capable he is of leading his people. Perrin dislikes conflict and leadership, and will avoid them when possible. However, he is a capable leader both on and off the battlefield, and has the respect of those who follow him.
Self-doubt or no, Perrin can be stubborn, and once he's made up his mind about something it's difficult to sway him. Even in disagreements with Rand, the all powerful Dragon Reborn, he refused to back down. He still tends to be bulldozed in arguments with women, although he's getting better at standing his ground since his wife actually enjoys it. Perrin is honest and straightforward, sometimes to the extent of being overly blunt, and certainly lacks the silver tongue of a politician, preferring to leave matters of diplomacy to Faile. His values are simple, country values, and he stands by them. He insisted on following his village's tradition involving a one-year engagement period, although Faile convinced the village wise women that she and Perrin had known each other for a year and it was basically the same thing, much to his astonishment. He becomes deeply upset at rumors that he was unfaithful to his wife. Later on he refuses to promise his future children to arranged marriages for political gain, insisting they be allowed to choose.
Although he has a reputation for a fierce temper and cuts an intimidating figure, Perrin is at heart a gentle man. Unlike his friends, he would have been content living out his life as a village blacksmith, and he does not crave adventure. He will resort to violence to defend those he loves, and Light help anyone who does incur that anger, but he will never strike unprovoked. Likewise he will not often raise his voice. He has difficulty holding a grudge, and in repeated encounters with the Whitecloaks, expresses more unease and frustration than real anger. He often thinks of himself using the metaphor of the hammer-- a hammer can be used to kill, but it can also be used to create. With all the conflict his world is facing right now, fighting is unavoidable, but after the dust settles he is someone who wants to be able to set weapons aside and create something.
[ Strengths/Abilities ] :
♦ Wolfbrother - Perrin has a very strong affinity with wolves. He can sense nearby wolves (within a few miles) and communicate with them telepathically, though they don't use words exactly. He also has enhanced vision and hearing, and a sense of smell strong enough to pick up on emotions.
♦ Dreamwalker - Like all wolves, Perrin has the ability to enter Tel'aran'rhiod, the world of dreams, which mirrors the world of reality but without most of its people. In Tel'aran'rhiod, thought is stronger than any other power (including the One Power aka magic), and Perrin is incredibly adept at bending this world to his thoughts--similar to lucid dreaming.
♦ Battle Prowess - Perrin has the powerful arms of a blacksmith and wields a hammer. He has fought in a number of battles against both monsters and Aiel, who are known for being skilled warriors.
[ Weaknesses ] :
♦ Faile - Well, like anyone in love, Perrin would do crazy things for the sake of his wife. He will also feel somewhat lost and incomplete without her in Vatheon.
♦ Losing Himself - Next to losing Faile, what Perrin fears most is losing himself to the wolf inside him. Especially without Faile, who is his anchor for remembering his human self.
[ Sample ] :
Third Person:
Perrin woke with a sense of pain and loss. Some of that pain was physical, with the wounds he'd sustained in the Wolf Dream, but that was nearly drowned out by the deep sadness he felt. Hopper... He wanted to howl, but at the same time he felt too drained. He just wanted to lie there in his tent and...
He was not in his tent. The realization cut through his sorrow, and he struggled to gather his wits. For an instant only he thought that the army might have started moving even while he was unconscious, but he was not being carried anywhere. He was lying on the stone of some city street. None of its sounds or smells were familiar, and that pervasive wrongness that had hung around the road to Lugard and in the Wolf Dream was gone, replaced by something different. No, wherever this was it still felt wrong somehow, but it was not the sense of a snare slowly drawing shut.
But if he was not in the Wolf Dream, and he was not in the waking world with Faile and his camp, then where was he? Was it possible that, as he had stepped out of the Wolf Dream, he had only retreated into his own dreams and not woken? Even as he tried again to wake himself, he knew that was not the case. It did not feel like a dream. He just could not understand how he had come to this place, wherever it was.
He nearly lay back and shut his eyes, wanting nothing more than to rest and to mourn, but in an unknown place, neither of those options were safe. There had been some trap waiting to spring on him, and if one of the Forsaken was responsible for this... Well, he did not know why nothing had come to finish him off, but he had no intention of waiting for it. With a groan, Perrin struggled to pick himself up and find some answers.
First Person:
[Perrin stares at the SFC in concentration. He doesn't really understand how it works; it wasn't explained to him in terms of the Power, but he can only equate it to some kind of ter'angreal. But for everyone to have one...? What sort of place is this?
He feels silly talking into the strange, star-shaped thing as though he's talking to someone, but he does so anyway. He has more important worries than embarrassing himself.]

[ Character's Name ] : Pipit
[ Character's Age ] : ~22
[ Series ] : Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
[ Canon Point ] : End of Game
[ History ] :
Pipit grew up in Skyloft with dreams of becoming a Knight and protecting the floating city and people he loved. His father was a Knight before him though died when he was young. It was his dream to follow in his Father's footsteps and join the ranks of the Knights. He entered the academy when he could and quickly rose through the ranks; winning the race in the Wing Ceremony the year before Link. He befriended Link when he joined the academy a year after him and always treated him as an equal and close friend.
During the Wing Ceremony of the game when Link's Loftwing went missing he helped Link to find it so he could compete. He was proud of Link when he won and was glad he was able to overcome the trials that stood between him without any underhanded tricks like Groose. He went off to enjoy the festivities of the Ceremony with the others and missed when Zelda went missing. He heard of her going missing and knew Link was off looking for her.
During this time he was still training at the academy as a senior and would patrol at night to help protect the citizens of Skyloft; though this wasn't the only reason. It would be later that Link overheard him arguing with his Mother about paying someone to clean the house for her. It was then he told Link that he would patrol at night to make enough money to stay at the academy but it was difficult to do so when his Mother kept spending money for food on other things. He never learned it was Link doing it.
As time went on his relationship with his mother grew more thin and he saw less and less of Link as time went on. He also had feelings for a fellow Knight in training named Karane but never realized those feelings as Link gave the love letter meant for Karane to a ghost in a toilet; saving Karane from the admiring of one of Groose's minions and left Pipit to not realize his feelings for her.
Once Zelda was found and saved, the monsters stopped appearing at night on Skyloft. Groose returned after his long bout of being missing with the news that Link and Zelda were alright and decided to remain on the surface. Travel between Skyloft and the surface was left open though with Link and Zelda freeing their Loftwings, they could no longer return. Pipit was glad to hear Link had succeeded in his mission and decided to become a strong Knight in his memory.
[ Personality ] :
Pipit is a passionate individual with serious drive. He is goal driven and once he sets his mind on something he will do anything he must to achieve it. He lives to achieve his dreams and become a strong pillar of the community of Skyloft so that he can see the smiles of his fellow citizens. To him happiness of others it the ultimate reward for such efforts. He is a good man with a strong moral compass.
This doesn't mean he can't act his age. He has an immature side that get him side tracked from things and when it's active he has a hard time resisting those urges. He loves to have a good time and will joke around with his fellow knights-in-training when the occasion calls for it. He can get a bit carried away during these fun times and will regret it afterward and train that much harder.
Pipit also enjoys making friends and being there for them. He enjoys knowing he can help people and be a support for them as his overall goal is to be a support for all of Skyloft. He is dedicated to helping his friends and doing what he must for them though sometimes he may be a bit too nice. While he likes helping friends he can be a bit harsh in his judgmental of them, expecting just as much of them as he does himself. This can make him a bit of a hard person to get along with for the less disciplined individuals.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Strengths: Pipit is a proud individual with a strong self-esteem. He knows how to set his goals and pursue them and not let anything get in his way. He doesn't let himself be pushed down easily and when he does he gets right back up again.
He is also a great fighter with a sword. He has been training for years with a single hand style and can use a sword with either hand should one be injured. He doesn't use a shield however so his defense is a bit lacking.
He is a loyal friend and one that will always be there for his friends. He isn't one to abandon anyone he cares for and will rush in to help people if they need it.
Weaknesses Pipit can get a bit ahead of himself sometimes. He has a hard time letting things go and will take on more than he should. Because of this he can overburden himself. If a friend was truly in danger, Pipit would do anything to help them and possibly be more self-sacrificing than he should be.
Pipit also has a temper. When he is angered he isn't one to cool off easily and this is a man who could yell at his own mother loud enough for someone outside the house to hear. His temper, if used against him, can easily cloud his mind and cause him to do something stupid.
[ Other Important Facts ] :
He knows his birds and he knows them well. All the Loftwings. All of them.
[ Sample ] :
Pipit stood in front of his apartment complex, sword drawn, staring down the fish people as they approached. The city was under attack by these strange invaders and they were running rampant in the city. The defense force was defending the center of the city and trying to spread out against the enemy. The women and children in his complex were left defenseless however except for him. He wasn't about to let any of them enter this building. He raised his sword and pointed it at the in coming enemies. Words would be wasted against these foes and he knew it.
He had been training for this for years now. He would protect the lives of the innocent people in this building with everything he had. He watched as the first enemy charged him with a spear. He swiped the spear to the side and quickly stabbed at the fish monster, stabbing it through. He kicked it away and into the next one before a third enemy came at his left. He ducked under it's sword and sliced upward, across the monster's chest. He had to conserve his energy and let the monsters come at him. He spun around as another enemy came at his side and tried jumping to the side. The spearhead caught his tunic, tearing it and cut into his skin. He groaned but kicked out at the monster before slicing him down as well.
He had no idea how long he fought. Time seemed to escape him in battle. All he could feel was his muscles burning from swinging his sword. His wounds bleed and ached as he took hit after hit from the monsters. His legs were growing weak but he refused to let them quit. He had to keep going until every monster was slain; even if it cost him his own life. The people inside deserved to be safe in their homes and he wasn't about to let that safety be defiled.
In the end he stood alone, looking out at the corpses of the monsters around him. He fell to one knee, his breathing heavy. He had done it, fought off the monsters by himself. He smiled as he thought of the smiles of the people inside. Even if the didn't get to see them he knew they would be happy. He just had to place his faith in the others, believe that they would drive these foes from their city. He knew they could do it. Especially with all the good people they had in their ranks. He felt the air rush through his hair as he fell, his eyes growing heavy. It had been worth it, worth the cost. Everything went black before he even felt his body hit the ground. It was like flying on his Loftwing back home.

Just a heads up, the 21st a dance competition and I'm taking pictures of my friends all day and night. I might be able to finish a revision, but it'll be rather late in the evening on the 22th because we're leaving ridiculously early that morning and it takes 6-8 hours to get home.
If that's not okay, I'll wait until the next app cycle. Sorry and thanks for consideration!

[ Character's Age ] : 64
[ Series ] : Avatar: The Last Airbender
[ Canon Point ] : Post-Canon
[ History ] :
http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Iroh
[ Personality ] :
Overall, Iroh is a kind, laid back man, who pretty much just wants to sit back and enjoy life as he gets older. He has a general love for most everyone, and will help almost anyone with their problems indescriminately (such as when he helped Toph realize she didn’t really want to leave the group, in canon).
He also has a strong sense of humour and fun, knowing that if you can’t have fun, then life would turn boring quickly. He is not above laughing at himself either, and won’t hesitate to crack jokes about his own age. He’s also displayed a talent for using his age to make people think he’s weak for both his own advantage (though against his enemies), as well as his own personal amusement.
That isn’t to say Iroh is never serious. He treats everyone with respect (though with a certain level of sarcastic irony, when it’s someone he doesn’t like much, or agree with), and has a strong sense of honour and dignity in battle.
His calm demeanor is nonexistent when you put someone he loves in danger, or when you’re doing something he absolutely disagrees with (or doing bad things to tea and also spirit fish), and for someone who doesn’t look it, he can most definitely kick your butt in a duel, and he will do so with grace, and honour. And just downright old man badassery, because he even though he can do it gracefully, he can also be extremely terrifying just by how strong he is.
Iroh is also very cunning when he has to be, both in battle and when he's captured. He's a brilliant strategist, which is only natural considering that he was a general in the Fire nation army before his exile.
Iroh also has a near obsessive love for Tea, it is his favorite drink by far and the man can definitely drink a lot of it. He also takes it very, very seriously and is not above taking it personally should someone insult it. Or brew it wrong. Especially if you brew it wrong, and he'll probably tell it to your face if you do, unless you're Zuko.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Strengths:
- Brewing Tea
- courage
- Loyalty
- Firebending
-Patience
-Giving wisdom metaphorically and also normally
Weaknesses
-self sacrificing
-unfaultering loyalty for his family; he would do anything for them, or at least mostly Zuko
- He's kind of old, which could definitely be considered a weakness even though he can still kick ass and take names
[ Other Important Facts ] :
The only thing I can think of is that he... is a firebender! Which means he uses martial arts to create fire.
[ Sample ] :
Okay! While I know that these are from an AU game, I think they're pretty valid samples, since his personality is unchanged and he's still very much the same person as he is in canon; the only difference being he's a teacher at Hogwarts. I think they convey his voice well.

[ Series ] : Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut
[ Canon Point ] : the end of Leon's Side
[ History ] :
Taking the wiki way out!
The drama and the manga add to Leon's background a period during which he trains under General Finley Dag. In the drama, he even seems to be living away from the mansion and mingling with Finley's family, at one point being practically invited into it, and Chaltier notices that he is livelier. Unfortunately it all ends tragically when Leon is ordered by his father to assassinate the General. Leon's wielding a dagger in his left hand is also credited to his mentor, who did not want his natural ability to rust just because his left-handedness had to be suppressed.
[ Personality ] :
In one (composite) word, goal-oriented. Leon is constantly thinking of what he wants to accomplish, regardless of whether his motivation is emotional or rational. "Pointless" is practically his word of choice for expressing displeasure, and one of the ways the game showcases his character development, if the player chooses to do so, is by having him acknowledge Stahn's leadership style because it is partners who fulfill missions, not individual dedication. This comes as a far cry from the youth who nearly abandoned his companions surrounded by monsters while their strongest fighter was incapacitated because saving them would get in the way of a mission.
To the world around him, Leon shows a cold exterior that goes hand-in-hand with his goal-seeking mindset. His Swordian partner, Chaltier, and the maid he is close to, Marian, are the only ones to whom he voluntarily shows what is behind that exterior. Even around them, he has a tendency to leave things unsaid when it comes to his feelings unless he is called out on it, such as making a point of excepting Marian from his low opinion of women in the drama and reassuring Chaltier of their bond in SQ2¹. He does not necessarily mean ill, but being blunt is second nature to him, and he expresses kindness more easily through actions than words. Early on, he comes off as misogynistic, but despite being his usual unsocial self around the other party members, he does not treat his female comrades any worse than the male ones, and doubting Philia's abilities when she wants to accompany them is more related to the fact that she has no battle experience than her being a woman.
Having grown up in a home where servants and a sentient sword cared about him more than his father ever seemed to, Leon is largely unable to shake off the sense of loneliness that pervades his existence. He has moments of acknowledging Chaltier as his partner, but tends to slip back into his loner mindset when things do not go well. With anyone other than Chaltier, these moments of acknowledgement are even rarer.
Although Leon himself is considered a prodigy, his father is a highly accomplished executive, and Leon feels that his father's position somehow detracts from his own worth, wishing to prove that he can pave his own way without relying on being his father's son. Thus, even though the decision to abandon his birth name was pushed on him by his father, he embraced the change, seeing it as an opportunity to be acknowledged as his own person.
¹ "SQ2" refers to the second of two easy missions that Leon is given near the end of Leon's Side, between the fight against Greybaum and Marian's kidnapping.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
+ Leon is a prodigy in swordsmanship and academics, and while he possesses natural talent, hard work plays a significant role in his status. He has the ability to communicate with sentient crystals that employ Swordian technology, a rare trait in his world, and this allows him to reach a level of battle efficiency far greater than that of a normal soldier when paired with his Swordian Chaltier. Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut has him as a speedy fighter who is self-sufficient and versatile in terms of elemental attacks, covering everything but Water. The manga depicts him as stronger when he wields Chaltier with his dominant arm, which he normally does not (this is not shown in the game due to sprite flipping, but in official artwork he wears Chaltier's sheath as a right-handed fighter would).
+ So long as he has a reason to, he gets things done, even if he does not particularly enjoy the task.
- While at this point in canon he has understood the value of comrades and teamwork enough to recommend a soldier for promotion based on the fact that what gets missions done is not individual determination but the joint efforts of the entire unit (in the game this is up to the player, in the manga choosing the team player is canon), he has not internalised this concept. It is possible that had he not stopped Chaltier from contacting Stahn and friends when Marian was kidnapped, his story would not have been cut short. He even tried to push Chaltier away during this crisis.
- Although he has good reason to be confident in his abilities, Leon sometimes borders overconfidence. More dangerously, he does the same with his beliefs, which are easier to break than his battle prowess.

[ Other Important Facts ] :
- Artes list from ToDDC.
- He loves sweets but does not admit to it. Chaltier has to come up with an excuse for him to eat ice candy when the two are alone, which might indicate that he has problems admitting it to himself.
- Leon suffers from motion sickness. In the game, he tends to go to the deck to talk to Chaltier alone during boat rides, which does not help matters, but dragon ship rides have the same effect on him.
