Other Characteristics: Leo has a scar across his left shoulder that goes from his shoulder to his nipple that was from his first ever quest when he was thirteen and he encountered an angry chimera with his group.

Overall:
Leonard is quite tall, reaching about five feet eight inches. He's a bit lanky but he has enough muscle to prove that he does train when he can. His hair is styled in a 'fresh out of bed' sort of look that he spends about twenty minutes on. Hey, he has to look vaguely presentable when he goes into work! Leo's eyes are brown but darken with emotion and can sometimes appear black although his eyes are officially brown, as stated on his I.D. Leo is almost always seen with a smile on his face. This gives him a playful look, coupled with his height and his hair.

Family: Trisha Jameson-Rogers (mother, 56), Robert Rogers (step-father, 61), Rebekah Rogers (step-sister, human, 21), Noel Rogers (step-brother, human, 19)
History:
Leonard Jameson was born to Trisha Jameson and Sun God Apollo, although the young brunette never knew who his father was until he was claimed. Leo was raised as best his mom could under the circumstances. She was a single mother with a low paying job and they shared a single bedroom trashy apartment in the part of town people tended to avoid -the last chance side of town. People who ended up there were usually trying to get some kind of kickstart to their lives but had no real hope.

Until he was ten, it was just Leo and Trisha. However, when he was ten, that was when the monsters started coming around more frequently. At first, they just watched Leo to the point where the brunette thought nothing was wrong but when he turned ten, they started to do things. They would talk to him and bother him and, eventually, they started to threaten him until one actually attacked him. Luckily, Leo had been smart enough to use his mace (Trisha always gave him mace to protect himself wherever he went) and then run. He had run all the way home and told his mother what happened. Trisha demanded that they pack up immediately and get to a place called Camp Half-Blood as soon as possible. While they packed, their front door was kicked in and the pair was attacked by monsters. That was the moment that Leo was claimed.

To Leo, it was a shock to have his eyes covered by his mother's hands as a brilliant light appeared in their apartment. She uncovered his eyes when the light faded and before them stood a teenager with sandy coloured hair, wearing designer clothes. Where the monsters had been standing was ash. The teenager had introduced himself as Apollo, God of the Sun and 'some other things that will be mentioned later'. That was when Trisha told him that his father was Apollo. To both Trisha and Apollo's surprise, Leo fainted cold.

When he next awoke, the trio were sitting on an air plane where a few things were explained to him; he was the son of the Sun God and thus a demigod and he was being sent away for his own good. Leo had cried, thinking his mother didn't want him. When they got off the plane, Trisha explained that she just wanted him to be safe, that it had nothing to do with her not wanting him. After some convincing, she and Apollo got him in a taxi and sent off to Camp Half-Blood.

At first, Leo didn't want to be a year rounder. However, when he went back to Colorado for Christmas, he found that his mother had married a man, Robert Rogerts, and that he brought his two children into the relationship. Leo didn't like Robert and decided then that he was going to be a year-rounded at Camp Half-Blood.

He got his first quest when he was thirteen. The Oracle said that, basically, if the Golden Apple was not taken, the world would fall to destruction. So, Leo and his companions (Nathan and Zero) set off to retrieve the Golden Apple from Eris. They succeeded but barely. Eris had a lot of protection around her apple, one being a starved and abused chimera that, when it set eyes on the group, attacked. Nathan and Zero got away safely but Leonard didn't. He was pinned to the ground and only managed to keep the chimera at bay by singing to it which put it in a slight haze until Zero kicked it off of him. It came back and scratched after Leo as he crawled back slowly. It snagged his shoulder and Zero, trying to help, yanked Leo back, causing the chimera's claw to scar the brunette. Their mission was easy after and they went back to camp proud.

However, after that incident, Leo was on edge. He was jumpy and talking to him when he didn't expect it scared him. He was made to leave Camp Half-Blood when he turned eighteen which the camp masters realized had been a terrible idea because Apollo brought back a fainted and heavily damaged Leonard Jameson.

Apparently, he had freaked out and been utterly terrified the second he set foot in New York City and had easily been targeted by the monsters and attacked. Leo had been lucky Apollo had 'just been passin' through' or he probably would have died. After much discussion, it was agreed that Leo would be trained with the new campers as a new camper and kept year round until he was trained properly.

That all went well until Percy Jackson arrived. Against his will, Leonard got involved in the war with the Titans. Leo didn't remember much of the war, just that he was terrified and was of no use during the fighting though he tried his best. He didn't come out unscathed; his back was covered in ugly scars from the war. After the war, Leo was the first to volunteer to go to Camp Olympus since it was in his home state of Colorado and he's been there ever since.

Powers:
-His voice (speaking and singing) is soothing to enraged monsters (from the musician side of Apollo)
-Leo has amazing aim (from the archer side of Apollo)
-He can inflict curses on people (such as rhymed speech; the poetry side of Apollo)
