His face is that of a serious one, sporting a beard of stubble. There are some scars across his body, but most of the time, he doesn't get hit. He usually wears a black sleeveless shirt, cargo pants and athletic shoes, but his "professional attire" consists of a red ballistic weave skinshirt and a harness, with a sturdy combat jacket.

[b]Personality:[/b] [b][color=9e0b0f]"Bro, I'm starving. We should hit up some pizza."[/color][/b] A generally affable guy, Leo has a nice personality. He's pretty friendly, and has a great sense of humor. He tends to get very focused on one thing, so he might seem distant, but not so. When he's working, he usually taunts the enemy and goads them into making a mistake (if he's not dealing death from a distance, that is). If things get serious, though, he does too, giving off an intense aura. Leo was a hurt, angry being for a long time. During his time in the military, letting off some steam with demon-killing and among fellow peers who shared his experience in some way, he mellowed out a bit. After becoming Arsenal and meeting Dave, his overall mood has improved.

Nothing specific, but a general action like you would type in a command prompt. [b]Incredible Luck[/b] It seems that Leo has some insane amount of Luck, as he always seems to be in the most conveinient situations. Whether it be an item he just so happens to need, or a coin flip in his favor, things just seem to go his way. [i]-Gadgets:[/i] [b]Trick Arrows[/b] Various arrows that Leo crafts himself. From normal broadheads, to special arrowheads crafted for certain occasions, to the magical arrows he's recently created thanks to his limited runic knowledge, anything to fit the narrative need.

No magical upgrades, but pretty reliable by itself. [i]AMR[/i] - Leo's Anti Material Rifle, a Barrett .50 cal. Made entirely from aftermarket parts. Currently unfinished on Leo's workbench. [/hider] [b][u]-----Biography-----[/u][/b] [b]Character History/Origin:[/b] Leonardo "Leo" Cash was born to a moderately wealthy couple in Star City, California. He was a very gifted child, with a keen mind and a knack for tinkering. He got high marks in his schooling (moreso in metal shop, wood shop, electronics, etc), placing him in the honor roll. He even participated in after-school programs, including an Archery club which he was exceptionally good at. He was on the path to be Valedictorian... When it happened. He was 16 when Demons, Monsters, and all sorts of evil things started pouring out of these portals. Everyone had to evacuate to the east, and his family could not have been farther away. Nobody could even purchase a plane in time before the demons took over, so everyone just drove away as fast as they could, leaving almost everything behind. Leo and his family were just passing Salt Lake City as the sun began to set when they were attacked by demons, crashing the car. His mother told him to run as the demons grabbed her and his father. So he ran into the forest, not looking back even when his parents screamed, or when they stopped. He ran deep through the forest, trying to get away from the demons. When looking back to see if they were still chasing him, he tripped over a exposed root, sending him to the ground. He tried getting up, but was so tired from the running that his vision had gone blurry, on the verge of passing out. It looked like the trees were moving before he fell unconcious. When he woke up the next morning, there was a small path of oddly colored leaves winding through the forest. He decided to follow it, walking through the forest for another day, before he exited the trees. He was found by a squad of US soldiers, stumbling out of the treeline and practically collapsing right there. From that point, Leo was moved with a large refugee convoy, protected by the military. He used the time to grieve, and think about what to do next. He couldn't just run to safety and let the demons win. So after the refugees made it to Hub City, he attempted to join the military, fight back against the demons. Too young and too weak, though. At the time, the army recruiters must have seen the hate and pain in his eyes, and waved him off as some kid who would sign up out of impulse but not have the will to go all the way. Well, after training his body for another year, he came back, passing the physical exams and enlisting at 17. He was determined. He made it through boot camp, his marksmanship scores perfect, combat scores and obstacle course time well above average, and his survival skills on-par. After serving for a year, making regular patrols throughout the border area of The Scar. But this wasn't enough. They'd kill an occasional demon, but Leo wanted to play a more offensive role. So, when he was 18, he applied to be a Ranger, training in Ranger School for another few weeks, mostly honing his combat and survival skills, training to go behind enemy demon lines. Passing with distinction, he served with the Rangers for the next two years, going deep into enemy territory. At some point, during a scouting mission through the Kansas-Missouri border area, he met Velocity. Together, they attacked the enemy cultists, striking a few key Blackroot Coven camps, taking civilians back to friendly territory and generally just hanging out together during what little downtime they had for a few months. Leo was called back, and after saying his goodbyes, left the area. The two of them keep in touch, calling each other via phone sometimes. Leo follows up on her exploits when he has the time. One day, after a particular event involving compromising an operation to save a few civilians, he was dishonorably discharged from the army. He went back to Hub City, doomed to be another unemployed refugee. No, he wasn't done yet. He was going back out there, one way or another. Using the money he earned from the army, he purchased a bow, two pistols, and all the neccessary materials to start his operation. He also decided to buy a camcorder, to document his encounters if worse came to worse, but keepong his identity hidden behind a shoddy mask. Ready, he headed out on his first expedition, sneaking past the military patrols and into the Scar. He did some damage, killing any demon in his way, and returned relatively unscathed. He uploaded the footage to the internet, openly, just to be safe if it was ever lost. Within the day, he'd gotten millions of hits, shared across all forms of social media. Granted, the next day it was removed in all forms by the US Government, but Leo had already found his calling. People admired and praised him and his actions. So, donning the name "Arsenal", he continued with his crusade, creating his own site for which to stream his exploits and where people could donate to the cause. Around this time, he met fellow monster hunter David O'Rinn, becoming fast friends due to their common upbringing. When Leo was 22, he and Dave Co-founded the Outlaws, both chipping in for a warehouse in the slums of Hub City. Over the next few years, they battled all sorts of monsters, and meeting pretty extraordinary people. Leo, now 26, has now built up the Outlaws to be a respectable and widely known monster hunting group.

He's also ambidextrous: No angle is safe. His feelings are probably not being dealt with correctly.
