[attr="class","appbold"]HISTORY:
- Leonard, like most super-powered beings, was born to loving, doting super-powered parents. His folks weren’t the heroes or villains parading around on billboards and television screens though, and their identities weren’t a secret that needed to be kept. In fact, their livelihood depended on people knowing the name de La Fontaine. Leonard’s parents were, in fact, the ringmaster and ringmistress of their own traveling circus. His father and mother home-schooled him while training him in the pyrokinetic and shapeshifting arts respectively, in addition to performatory acrobatics. They were on the road more than they were at home, and performed all across the country for years as a family. That is until an eighteen year old Leonard decided to pursue his dreams of becoming an actor. The young man moved out to LA with his parents’ blessing and quickly found his footing as a thespian, starring in multiple recurring television and independent film roles, and became notable for performing every single one of his own stunts.
It was during his time in LA that Leonard began using his superhuman abilities to fight crime. One day while driving home from a shoot, he stopped by the nearest bank in order to make a deposit. While he stood in line, a group of heavily armed thugs swarmed the building and shouted that they were sticking up the place. While the police eventually showed up to handle the situation, by the time they got there, Leonard had already made quick work of the gang. The incident established his credibility in the city as a hero, and soon after, he quickly found a sponsor to support and promote his super-heroic efforts while also maintaining his career as an actor on the side. He didn’t bother hiding his identity, though he did don the traditional skin-tight costume and gave himself the moniker of “Lionheart” to go by. After about a decade of crime-fighting, he sought another change of scenery, and took up teaching at Vireximus university. He’s been there for the past three years, and hasn’t looked back since.

[attr="class","appbold"]POWERS:
- PYROKINESIS: Leonard was born with the ability to manipulate and conjure fire, though, while the fire he creates on his own is powerful enough, he finds that natural fire usually packs a bigger punch. His ability allows him to redirect fire, shoot flames from his hands, feet, mouth and nose, create pyrokinetic structures such as weapons, walls and armor, and, for a short time engage in pyrokinetic flight/surfing. The majority of Leonard’s power is drawn directly from the sun and other solar objects (like comets), and as such, his effectiveness in battle is directly tied to the solar cycle. During the day, he’s slightly stronger, at noon his power is at it’s peak, and under the burn of a passing comet, his power would increase dramatically (though that obviously rarely ever happens. It never has actually).
Leonard’s weaknesses are obvious, however. He’s only invulnerable to his own flame. If he met a skilled enough water manipulator, he could be overpowered and his flames could be drowned out. Though, even if his opponent can’t manipulate water, the colder the temperature of the environment, the weaker his fire manipulation becomes. Also, since his ability relies on the sun for strength, it only makes sense that the moon weakens him somewhat, which means that he’s at his weakest during night, and even more so under a full moon. - SHAPESHIFTING: When he was young, Leonard possesed the potential to transform into any animal he wanted, but growing up, he developed a fascination with lions and only ever shapeshifted into them. He went so long without learning any other form, that he was eventually only able to transform exclusively into a lion, and as such, this power is severely limited in it’s application. It should be noted, however, that he’s completely fine with this outcome and often claims that even if he could turn into other animals, he wouldn’t even consider it. That’s what he says anyway.
He can maintain his lion form for twelve hours straight at most, and in order to be able to shift again for that same amount of time, he must sleep for at least six uninterrupted hours. His form comes with a couple of enhanced senses like smell, hearing and eyesight (he has far superior vision than any human, or even almost any super-powered being would have in the dark). His natural physical attributes such as his strength, speed, and stamina also become greater.
