Personal history
Leo was born with the rest of his siblings after the God Of Order lost his fight against Salem, becoming the 12 which imprisoned Salem leading to the 12 being placed in stasis for eons.Once he emerged he claimed the sun as his domain causing the Radiance which bestowed the legendary miracle Radiance onto some mortals, and worked with his siblings to aid mortals from being under the thumb of Salem's son. He forged the Zodiac Pantheon and made the Spire Of The Sun to beckon the one who would lead his Clergy, ultimately leading to the noble Solar Celestial Warrior Hyperion getting to the Spire and being Crowned the leader of the Church Of The Sun. Leo had a Clergy made in his honor to defeat the Black Templars in the Sun War ending it with the event called "The Sun's Wrath" and built the Sun Kingdom on the continent Leonis.During the Sun War Paladins and other warriors of Leo who perished in the name of the sun, order, & prosperity for all were ascended into angels of the sun as a reward for their service becoming immensely powerful entities that continued their duty though now in the cosmos rather than on Zodia. Some of these ascendants were Rhitta one of the rare female Templars of Leo, the previous Leo Ascendant, & one of the holders of Radiance another was the founder of the Church Of The Sun Hyperion leaving his son Helios to lead the Clergy.After the Sun War & the Clergys of his siblings were freed from tyranny Leo went into a deep slumber where he would be possessed by the spirit of Arceus sparking the Zodiac War with the end goal being to subsume his siblings to become whole again. Leo's Clergy waged war on the world; the sheer pressure of the Sun caused discord among the neighboring nations making them fight amongst each other. The Church Of The Sun dominated the war depictions of battles immortalized in history showcasing the sheer brutality and cruelty of the sun. Leo's rampage stopped during the Great Eclipse when his sister Cancer conducted Divine Synergy becoming Eclipse going through the mind of her brother freeing him from his control, Scorpio used his divinity to lock away any chance of Leo or the rest being beguiled by the God Of Order. Leo was returned to normal being a benevolent god and allowing his siblings to continue their own ways of life although all of their Clergys decided to form the Zodiac Empire with the Church Of The Sun acting as the absolute leadership in the Empire.Leo, like the rest of his siblings aided in the recreation of Arceus through giving the mortal Paladin Sellfur Olgrim a spark of his divinity, this in turn kept Salem locked away in her black hole prison. From then on he continued living as he had been sleeping and keeping his siblings from fighting.
Morality & Philosophy
Leo is a deity of good & justice and believes that all must be unified and the weak must be protected to preserve order and prosperity.
Taboos
Using dark power like necromancy, illusion, & enchantment is not recommended as it's not part of the Sun's grace. Those who are visibly weak & fragile are not supposed to fight and just be protected. Lions are the friends and allies of the Sun God & Sun Kingdom to use them without their consent is underhanded & scummy.

He is Creative thinking about new ways to use the sun to aid his Clergy, using Sunlight to power the Sun Kingdom, using the essence of the sun to stimulate the growth of the Sun Kingdom's denizens and vegetation, & using other stars as a means of maneuvering Solar Rays to any point on the planet.
Vices & Personality flaws

Social
Contacts & Relations
Salem, Goddess Of Chaos
Salem is the elder sister of Leo & his siblings but he has no love for Salem, as her ideology breaks down peace & order to make room for chaos & pandemonium. Monuments and structures of Salem are always destroyed by Leo's Clergy to not plague the world with her influence, followers of Salem are slain by the Templars of Leo to limit her veneration and power.
Mephiles, God Of Fear
The son of Salem & nephew of Leo, he has always had hate for mephiles due to his subjugation of mortals when he emerged. Leo's Angels are tasked with the eradication of mephilies's followers off the world of Zodia.
Angels, Mortals, Followers
Hyperion Sol, The Sun Founder
Hyperion is the lone Haloin blessed with Radiance, who found the Spire Of The Sun and accepted Leo as his god through that he was ascended into a Solar Archon and tasked with building the Church Of The Sun. Hyperion was Leo's favorite mortal; he never faltered in his goals, built the Church Of The Sun, protected the weak and innocent, the first of his Ascendants.Leo was grateful for Hyperion's work & Hyperion is grateful for Leo's blessings. It was saddening when Hyperion perished at the hands of Velskud, The Black Sun but was prideful about how the battle ended the Sun War. Hyperion, while unable to return to the mortal world, was ascended into a Solar Arc Angel & had a constellation made in his honor. Hyperion now works to eradicate followers of Salem & Mephiles in the sun's fire with Rhitta.
Rhitta Sol, The Sun's Empress
The lover of Hyperion and his second in command during the Sun War, she was blessed with Radiance like Hyperion. Leo was impressed with Rhitta due to her being a female & took up arms against her oppressors not being the many damsels of the Sun Church and used her power to better her people. Once Hyperion perished Leo crowned her the next ruler of the Sun Church & allowed her to be the 2nd. Leo Ascendant. She became immortalized as an example to all female followers of Leo, as she became a Solar Arc Angel after her demise leaving rulership to her son Helios.
Helios Sol, The 3rd. Sun Sovereign
The first son of Hyperion & Rhitta and the newest ruler of the Sun Kingdom after his mother Rhitta perished in battle. Leo granted Helios a Divine Chariot with 4 Solar Steeds Aethon, Eous, Pyrois, & Phlegon, Helios would take these steeds into battle raining down bolts of solar energy to raze & scorch the enemies of the Sun Kingdom. Leo respects Helios for being able to reign in his wrath & pride, find tranquility in the sunlight and rule without the Sun's cruelty.
Regulus Sol, The Benevolent Sun
One of the sons of Hyperion & Rhitta and the younger brother of Helios and the 3rd. Leo Ascendant. Leo admired how Regulus looked up to other female Templars of Leonis, like Adafhera, Meridia, & most of all Sif. Regulus was favored by Leo for his ability to show humility and be able to be useful to others like his brother Helios & Ulvandir rather than obsessed over what use people are to him. Leo also like that despite his ability to serve under others through humility he didn't back down when tyranny was discovered in the Sun Kingdom.
Ulvandir Sol, The Disgraced Sun
One of the sons of Hyperion & Rhitta and known to be a powerful warrior who fully believed in the ways of the Old Sun. Leo saw the poison that is pride & arrogance consume Ulvandir stripping him of his power & rank after the Solar Betrayal. Leo was disappointed at the actions of one of his Haloin so much that his demise as a Seraphim warranted the destruction of his very soul.
Aurinax, The Gilded Mage
One of the few Draconic followers of Leo, he pursued knowledge of Arcane Magic, something not typically done by Leo's followers. He applauds Aurinax for pursuing the Arcane Arts despite his already immense physical and magical power as well as being willing to teach magic to the other members of the Sun Church. Aurinax is beloved for teaching Circe in the ways of Sorcery and teaching other arcane scholars of the Sun Church.
Leonidas, The Gilded General
The twin brother of Aurinax and another Draconic follower of Leo, using his shapeshifting to become a mortal form and become one of the most popular Templars in the Sun Kingdom. Leo admires Leonidas for his ability to work for more than himself, being a noble warrior who fights for the weak & innocent like a true Sun Templar.
Rosaria, Queen Of Sunfire
A beloved Druid of Wildfire who took up arms against the Order Of The Black Sun through her oath to the Sun God. Rosaria with her Druidic magic laid waste to many Templars of the Black Sun, being praised by Leo for her ferocity and strength with magic. Rosaria was Crowned leader of the Sun Kingdom's Druidic Circle and the one who would uphold nature in Leonis.
Meridia, Lady Of Infinite Energy
Meridia was the estranged daughter of Rosaria due to her wanting to be a Cleric rather than a Druid. Leo applauded her desire to work alongside her Knightley brethren but was wary of the pride in her soul.Leo was impressed at Meridia's countless victories in his service growing in power and renown as she began to specialize in the destruction of Undead during her involvement in the Pale War. She was beloved and powerful but never got past her burning hate for the Undead & Necromancers causing her to disappoint Leo & her Kingdom through being an Overseer. Leo sees Meridia as just another tragic person who was blinded by the sun.
Sif Thundaheim, The Sun's Melody
A female Haloin Zeal Cleric of Leo, who faithfully served the Sun Church for all of her life, rising to become beloved and popular to her people, becoming an inspiration to the Templars to come after her. Leo at birth blessed her with an angelic voice that causes her hair to glow yellow, people to grow in power and heal their wounds.Leo, adoring her use of her gifts but saddened at her marriage with Ulvandir nominated her as one of the candidates for the Solar Storm Mergers with the input of Aquarius. When Sif wanted to live long enough to see Thor again he gave her a blessing of longevity at the cost of fertility & when she perished at the hands of Ulvandir she wasn't ascended to an Angel but had a constellation made in her honor.
Adhafera, The Platinum Sun
One of Leo's few Dragon followers and one of the Solar Storm Mergers members. She is so strong that her light still echoes from centuries old battles. Adafhera serves Leo as one of his faithful templars, something he is grateful for. Leo blessed her with Radiance as a sign of appreciation to his Templar and she uses it to continue Leo's work.
Hynivir, The Summer Archon
Hynivir was a Haloin and the 1st. Summer Sage who took up arms against the Order Of The Black Sun using her immense magic power to fight back the malevolent group. She was part of the same Pride Ulvandir lead and with an Archon had a daughter named Edelgard.Leo was intrigued by Hynivir's power as he didn't make it and it's immense power, so he offered her pardon from the Solar Betrayal and offered a place in the hierarchy of Angels. Hynivir refused to have a life with her family but it was stripped from her when her husband was killed on duty & her power was stolen by her husband's killer. Leo, saddened but respectful of her decisions, made her a constellation.
