Leo is a classically trained dancer who does ballroom and individual dancing. The man is not too tall for a dancer being a little under 6'. He is very flexible and tends to wear a lot of trendy costumes when performing. Also very talents man who has the olive skin of his father his hair is more of his mother and is long just touching the back of his shoulder blades. He tends to keep it well maintained and tied back out of his way unless he is doing a more traditional native dance.

Personality:

Leo is a perfectionist by trade. When he is learning a dance he gets very frustrated if he can't get the movements down just right. While he has done partner dances and even won a number of titles he tends to not enjoy having to rely on other people to help him succeed.

He is outgoing and known as something of a ham he will show off when he gets the chance. He is an athlete and tends to do a lot of working out to keep himself in trim for dancing. He loves to teach dancing of many different styles but tends to only teach those who truly wish to learn.

At times he also plays on the old stereotypes of male dancers all having to be gay. He doesn't do this often but at times he takes perverse pleasure in it.

Background:

He has been trained to fight but doesn't enjoy it and was never really good at it. His father had believed that all people should know basic self defence as many people tended to attack those who were different and were scared of those people.

He has a strong sense of satisfaction out of entertaining people though it was not what his parents had wanted for him. They had both wanted him to follow in the path of the Priest as his father and the 1st born males out of every generation for the last 500 years.

Family:

Father: Anderson Chaktar – he is a Priest of the Catholic religion. Very gruff exterior with a loving and caring heart. Very strict in discipline he tried to show his oldest son what it meant to be a true man of Faith. He died when Leo was 12 just after he won his first competition.

Mother: WhiteDove – She is a Dr who tended to believe more in the use of traditional medicine and alternative medicine then what the current doctrine is. She taught for many years field medicine in the colonies.

Brother: Soloman – Younger brother who is 18 years of age. His brother is studying to be a Dr just like his mother but using the traditional skills.

Sister: Yalanna – The oldest of all the children trained as a dancer in Ballet for quite some time but gave it up when she fell in love with her husband Victor Gagnon. She is 32 and is currently living in France.

Sister: Viyanna – The baby of the bunch at only 10 years old and the half sister to them all. She is a talented musician who is still learning a lot about herself.
