Type of Character: Canon

Setting Concepts:
Jerusalem/Hellsalem's Lot: The city that Leo currently lives in. It was formally New York City, but over the course of one night, it became connected to an alternate dimension, and destroyed and rebuilt. It's now a mixture of humans and beings from the alterworld, or Beyond, thanks to the fog that has spread out from the giant chasm in the center of the city, sealing the city off from the rest of the world. It's now crime-ridden and filled with otherworldly happenings that threaten the stability of Earth.
The Beyond/Alterworld: The alternate dimension that crossed over with Hellsalem's Lot. It's the source of a lot of supernatural and otherworldly phenomenons, and is home to several extremely power demons. Regular humans are rarely invited there, and the normal rules of physics don't apply.
Libra: The not-so-secret society that Leo accidentally became a part of. They were originally a group of fang hunters(vampire hunters), and still do hunt down vampires known as Blood Breeds, but their main purpose is to preserve the balance of the world between Earth and the alternate dimension which crossed over in Hellsalem's Lot. Despite not being a fighter, Leo often assists the other members on missions with his abilities.
Blood Breeds: A fancy name for the Vampires of the Kekkai Sensen universe. They are extremely powerful creatures capable of controlling blood and regenerating very quickly, and are nigh invincible. They also can't usually be picked up by any sort of optics and are extremely hard to see except with the eyes of the gods. Leo helps fight them by seeing their true names with his eyes and giving it to another member of Libra to seal them.
Eyes of the Gods: Explained in more detail in the power section, these are the eyes that were bestowed upon Leo about six months before the anime started. They are generally given by the gods so that they can observe catastrophies in the human world, and Leo was chosen to be the observer of Hellsalem's Lot. In return for granting him these eyes, his sister's eyesight were stolen from her, because he was too frozen with fear to speak up.
Personality:
When we first meet Leo in the story, he calls himself a useless person whose only merit is being normal. From the very start, Leo has always been very hard on himself for being powerless and cowardly in important situations. The event where his sister traded her eyesight for Leo to gain his power left a huge mark on him, because he had been too scared to speak up. He thinks of himself as a useless coward because of that, and rushed off to Hellsalem's Lot to see if he could fix their situation since he feels he is to blame for it.
Meeting Klaus von Reinherz, the leader of Libra, was a huge impact on him. In the first episode after Leo told his story to Klaus, Klaus told him that he was not a coward for the mere fact that he'd been standing there now. He took these words to heart so much that he repeated them to another person who had lost their way, and tells his sister in a letter that now that he's met Libra, he feels like he's a little more important to the world.
Despite being scared in situations, Leo is never one to back down. His sister described him as a tortoise knight to Klaus once. A tortoise's shell is designed so it can never go backwards, alluding to the fact that even if Leo is in a scary situation, he will never back down even once. He shows it several times in the anime that despite getting captured by people far stronger than him several times, he's always looking for a way to get out. He even berates himself for wanting to wait for Libra when he's kidnapped by a truck only he can see the true form of. Because of this, he doesn't like relying on his friends and is often reluctant to tell them he is in danger because he doesn't want to be a burden. Leo likes being able to take care of his problems by himself so he can become stronger. His association with Libra, however has softened his take on that and he has expressed he is lucky and grateful to have friends around.
Leo is also a genuinely nice person for the most part, at least to those who haven't done anything wrong. He worries about a small mushroom boy who got hit by a car, even running out into the street to ask if he was alright. He gains resolve in helping Libra because a waitress at his favorite haunt got injured, going along with his hidden courage, and is constantly sending money back to his sister so she can live comfortably. Leo is willing to work hard and honestly for anything, having a part time job besides his one at Libra, and seems to be happy when he can assist his friends, despite being normal. He even risks his eyes integrity at one time to look at some elder blood breeds to help out Libra. He's got typical morals and standards, and even dislikes killing or permanently hurting people, which one of the villains describes as 'so normal'. It goes to the point where he can't even strike back at someone who had beat him up and stolen from him because he suggested that his weapon might have a chance of killing him. That hesitation led him to getting injured even more.
Despite this, Leo is not a pushover. Immediately after he helps out the mushroom boy, he shoots back that you cant just ask someone who saves you for a bite of their burger. He also has much annoyance for his normally-assigned partner, Zapp, who DOES have questionable morals. Zapp often annoys him or tries to trick him into doing things, like following him around for the entire day stealing pizza and Leo told him to get lost the entire time, though he did not have the power to physically remove the man. He's always ready to have a sarcastic reply to some of the wierder things that go on in Libra, commenting on why were the people he was associating with so wierd??
He's a pretty pragmatic person otherwise, being thrifty about money because he has very little. Leo can occasionally let his emotions get the better of him and get dramatic about things like not being able to find food or the fact he was only given 40 seconds to get out of his apartment, but for the most part he has a hold of himself when it really matters. Often with Zapp, he's the more logical of the two and can see when someone is pulling a fast one on him (unlike Klaus himself), though he is rather ignorant of a lot of things to do with the Beyond or the more magical aspects of Hellsalem's Lot.
Appearance:
His appearance usually looks like this. Leo is dressed like that unless he is at his pizza delivery job, and holds his eyes closed or squinting unless he is activating his Eyes of the Gods, as seen below. Sometimes he will also wear the goggles that are held around his neck.
His Eyes of the Gods look like this when activated. This happens when he opens his eyes and focuses, usually.
Abilities:
Leo's main and only special ability is his Eyes of the Gods, given to him by a giant creature for the purpose of 'observing Hellsalem's Lot.' They can see everything, and that means literally everything. These eyes can see through illusions of the highest strength, and perceive the true form of people and things. He can also see things outside of a human's normal range of vision, such as a monkey moving at the speed of sound. Leo has also shown his eyes can function like a microscope, zooming in to be able to spot things as small as fleas, and the reverse is probably also true. His eyes are also able to look at things that technically aren't on the same plane of existence, but still can be perceived.
Leo most often can read the aura of each unique individual and be able to use that to find them again, and can use his perceiving of true natures to see the true names of Elder Blood Breeds. He's also shown in the anime to be able to induce hallucinations in people as well.
Another notable ability is that he can look through another person's eyes and see what they saw, as well as hack into someone else's eyes and guide them. He was able to look through one person's eye and find where the other one was, since it had been separated from his body.
He can also hijack the vision of mechanical objects, like vehicles.
Vision shuffle is when he can shuffle the vision of several people together, causing massive disorientation.
Vision Transmission is when he transmits what he sees to other people. The most notable examples are when Leo cuts off the sight of other people by covering his own, and showing Klaus a security system only he was able to see, otherwise he doesn't really have any 'named' abilities like everyone else in the canon.
The drawback to these eyes is that they will start overheating after a little while of using them continuously, and if they become damaged too much, they could explode. It takes time for them to heal and during that time he isn't able to see as well, like through a distorted camera lens. Leo is also an ordinary human, so even if he is able to track movements and objects that humans normally cannot, he can only respond with his own body's limitations.
Inventory: His wallet, money scattered on various places on his body, his goggles, a box with a half eaten pizza in it, his polaroid camera, his cell phone
Soul Gem: Would probably be a large blue gem the same color as his eyes, fastened to a simple bracelet around his wrist.
Writing Samples:
Third Person:
Leo sometimes wondered what he was doing in Hellsalem's lot. At the end of the day with the stuff that Libra came around to deal with, he was just an ordinary human with good eyes.
Michella... That was the real reason, and in some twisted way, himself. He was a coward and had failed to protect his younger sister, but he had enough strength to make it here to this city and try to find a way to fix it. He could be grateful for that much, at least.
His internal monologue was somewhat interrupted when his eyes managed to spot a motorcycle taking a wide swipe at the sidewalk, being piloted by a (probably) drunk tentacle covered guy. Like everyone else, he let out a slightly strangled yell and ran, heading into an empty alley to collect his thoughts.
He really should stop getting startled at such things, but when he was just a 19 year old human, it was hard not to. Besides, he was unfortunately getting used to all the daily life-threatening events that took place in this city. His heart rate dropped as he looked to see that yes, he still had the burgers he ordered in hand. Good, he would've just dropped to the ground and cried if his money had just gotten thrown away like that.
Why do I go out to buy food for Mr. Zapp anyway? Leo started slowly walking towards the office again, now that the sidewalk had been cleared of people. It was a bit strange interacting with a bunch of people who thought he was someone after a long time, but if he'd told Michella that, she'd just berate him for being hard on himself again.
Right. He closed his fist and hit himself lightly on the head. Mr. Klaus had told him the fact that he was here and working for Libra to find out about his eyes meant he was moving on despite being a coward. Leo had to believe in that, and when he thought about the Libra leader's guileless attitude and words, he couldn't help but do so.
Working with Libra was fun, and he was truly grateful that he wouldn't be waking up, going to work, getting back, eating, playing a game, and sleeping. Of course, this also meant he could be sent out to buy hamburgers on the other side of the city because his partner accidentally destroyed on of Klaus' peonies and was forced to repot them.
Well, it could stand to be a little less wierd. Leo had a hard enough time keeping up with everything concerning the Beyond and the outlandish creatures of his daily life. It really made him question his sanity sometimes. However, that was part of what he almost liked about living like this. He, an ordinary part-timer with a sister by completely bad and good luck, had accidentally been introduced to a world that was much greater.
Leo couldn't even be mad as his phone rang for the fourth time. "Listen, Mr. Zapp, I nearly got run over by a motorcycle! What makes you think I wouldn't have taken a cab already if there was one available?!"
Even as a line of extremely foul language came through the other line, Leo couldn't help but smile. Somewhere, somehow, he'd taken a wrong turn and became a little important to something.

[The first thing one might notice was that the video was being recorded upside-down, and the young man in it seemed to be holding his eyes closed firmly.]
I'm sorry for bothering everyone, but my name is Leonardo Watch and I...
[A clanging sound.]
I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO GET YOUR MAGIC POWERS BACK EARLIER, OKAY?!
I know they said it takes about a day but I can't see shit! I keep running into things, it's awful. Is this thing even working? Hello?
[He'd already had to ask a random passerby for help in turning the thing on, because his eyes were freaking out so much he couldn't walk straight. He had a feeling the person though he was some sad drunk and they weren't really...wrong. But he could just hope it was being recorded or streaming or SOMETHING.]
I'm just. Could someone tell me where the Welcome Center is? Or a safe place to lay down for awhile? This is the third time I've run into something, and I'm pretty sure my wallet is history!
