'''Leo the Tiger''' (born January 8, 1990) is a [[furry writer]] from [[Wikipedia:Joplin, Missouri|Joplin, Missouri]], U.S.A. While he has a large list of [[character]]s he uses in his works, Leo's official [[fursona]] is a [[Wikipedia:Bengal tiger|Bengal tiger]] who wears a green [[Wikipedia:Drum major|drum major's]] uniform with an "L" on his hat. (The "L" stands for "Leo").

==Character backstory==
Leo hails from a planet known as Kriegland, and came to America upon the great migration of the whole population, escaping just hours before the villainous group known as the Quarrelsome Quartet destroyed the planet with their Laser Beam 5000. Leo is the drum major of three bands at once: a military-oriented band, a showoff marching band (like at college football games), and a pipe and drum band. While all these bands have only civilian tigers serving as professional musicians for a living, Leo calls his first band a military band due to the instrumentation of it, particularly in the percussion.

Leo's best friend is John the Tiger, the drum major in charge of the actual Krieglandonian military band, and hailed by Leo the Patriotic Lion (an American lion composer) as the Sousa of Kriegland, and a musical symbol of Krieglandonian patriotism. Since arriving in America, John and his band (and later Leo and his three bands) have regularly received ''25'' times as many loyal concert attendees as the average big name in pop and country music, and part of that was due to their role in assisting Leo the Patriotic Lion and his enormously successful campaign to get Americans back on track in the wake of the Kriegland tragedy and the disgust that followed the Vietnam War.

Leo and his showoff band were invited to participate in a band competition held at the academy for the eternals upon invitation by the prince of the eternals, Prince Zanta Alexander Keplicus the Third (the character played by [[16weeks]]), with Leo the Patriotic Lion serving as a judge to represent Earth. They participated with three other bands, with a separate section held just for the drumlines. Leo and his showoffs won by a landslide, and the prize was a vacation home for each and every member of the showoffs (including Leo), and a cash prize of $2 million to put to good use. Leo chose to donate the whole $2 million to charity, since he believes in giving the best performance a band can give, making all the hard work pay off, and that itself shall be their reward.

Leo is currently looking for more tigers to expand his bands so that the military and showoff bands will have about 250 to 300 tigers each. That way, he says, it will sound more civilized.

== Character profile ==
*'''Species''': Bengal tiger
*'''Alternate name''': Leo Sanchez
*'''Age immortalized''': 22
*'''Occupation''': Drum major of three bands at once: a military band (defined by instrumentation), a showoff band (think college football halftime shows), and a pipe and drum band, all of which have all professional musician tigers willingly making a living out of that.
*'''Original hometown''': Agri region, Kriegland (moved to Wildcat City, Kansas City, USA at time of destruction)
*'''Clothing''': Green drum major’s uniform with silver detailing and a silver “L” on his hat, which stands for Leo.
*'''Arch-nemesis''': whoever strikes crime
*'''Personal quote''': “Leading all three bands at once is a tough challenge for me, but it is worth every minute of it and it’s a lot of fun!” (during an interview)
*'''Catchphrase''': “Let’s swing it!”

== Immortalization ==
Leo, like many of his friends that belong to the organization of superheroes and allied fighters known as the G-52s (led by SUPERCAT, the Cat of Steel), has been immortalized by the very thing that can harm the Cat of Steel: criptonitroglycerite. (The Cat of Steel gets his from the yellow sun.) Thus, he is 22 years old and living eternal life at that age. How he got immortalized remains a mystery forever.

== Other characters ==
Other characters Leo writes about include the following, mentioning their code name, species, descriptions, and alternate name if they have one, plus occupation. All G-52s are American in citizenship unless noted otherwise, and all have been immortalized by CNG (criptonitroglycerite). The American G-52s all make their home in Wildcat City, Kansas, USA, the place where the Krieglandonians (including Leo the Tiger) chose home after losing their planet. Leo also has written stories based on roleplaying in the furry fandom, and such roleplays have had an effect on his world as a whole.

===Superheroes===
*'''SUPERCAT (Super C)''': Orange tabby; the head of the G-52 organization who is his own symbol of patriotism. He throws fireballs in five different colors: red, white, blue, green, and yellow. He also has the basic superhero package (flight, super hearing, super high jump, super strength, X-ray vision, and virtual invulernability). His alternate name is Simon Corrineson, and he owns Wildcat Power Gyms. He hails from the planet Caticon originally; his planet's population later migrated to Earth.
*'''WARCAT (W.C.) ''': Bengal tiger; a freelance police officer who wears only black clothes and drives a motorcycle he calls "Fireball." His real name is Nathan James McDowell. He has no powers, but wields a standard Colt .45 on his utility belt.
*'''CRIPTOCAT (Cripto)''': Bengal tiger; hailed as "the superhero of the century" since his powers of imagination-becoming-reality and his pure heart and intentions make him the most powerful tiger in the universe. He wields a magical sword he calls Invincican. His real name is Nathan Knight, and he is the lead singer and guitarist for the rock band Furry Fury. His powers include X-ray vision, super hearing, super high jump, and the ability to make extraordinary elements of the surreal and supernatural occur with the snap of his fingers or wave of his hands. He also has a cowboy identity (see below), making him the only superhero that has three identities, and not two.
*'''Danger Woman (D.W.)''': Female catamount with yellow hair; she's best known for her risks and stunts in both crime fighting and in sports, and (so far) the only female G-52. Her real name is Jennifer McCartney, and she is a professional Supercross rider and champion. She has the basic package of powers.
*'''John the Tiger/Cat of Chaos (C.C.)''': Bengal tiger; Leo the Tiger's best friend and fellow drum major and composer from Kriegland. His codename came from a character he voiced in anti-piracy PSAs, and soon he donned the costume for real, though he has no superpowers of his own. He can, however, finished elaborate compositions of music in 15 minutes or less.
*'''Leo the Patriotic Lion''': Lion; he is a military drum major-turned-orator whose huge voice that can reach millions of people without the aid of a loudspeaker has caused the world to panic and fear him, and accept his words as law from this huge paranoia. He has since apologized for it and taken anger management classes, but the world has forgiven him and shown him how much good came out of all his bellowing. He has no powers apart from that. His real name is Leo Zannichi, and like Mozart, he began composing at a very early age; two to be precise.
*'''Tom the Patriotic Tiger''': Bengal tiger; Leo's tiger counterpart and fellow musician/composer. His real name is Tom Wilder.
*'''Leo the Super Patriotic Lion/Super Leo''': Lion; Leo the Patriotic Lion's counterpart that has superpowers (hence the nickname "Super Leo"). His powers include the full basic package and the ability to throw a "star-spangled blast" (red, white, and blue bars connected together with stars of the same colors mixed in). Anyone who gets hit by the blast gets knocked out and is left literally seeing stars in their eyes. His real name is Leo Crossfire, and he once was a U.S. Air Force airman (or airlion, as the case may be). He met his best friend and then-future tiger counterpart (Super Tom) when the two crashed in the same battlefield after being shot down. Both got their superpowers in that field. He currently keeps in shape as a professional bodybuilder, but by G-52 policy does not do the inappropriate side of it (such as modeling and competiting to show off muscles).
*'''Tom the Super Patriotic Tiger/Super Tom''': Bengal tiger; Tom the Patriotic Tiger's counterpart that has the same superpowers as Super Leo. He was a U.S. Navy fighter pilot. His real name is Tom Sanderson.
*'''BONECRUSHER (Crush)''': Lion; a super-buff lion that can lift 50,000 pounds with the greatest of ease, but works as a certified FIFA soccer referee. He became notable for his threats of giving hard red cards to soccer plays who lie intentionally in various ways; the most common is pretending to be injured so one side can stall for time. He says he doesn't have any powers, though one might argue that his super strength he worked so hard for can be counted as a superpower. His real name is Leo Fitzgerald, and he also takes pleasure in knowing every rule of every sport, board game, and card game by heart. As a result, he spent a few rainy days teaching Cripto how to play games such as backgammon, go, and euchre.
*'''Techno Tiger (T2)''': Bengal tiger; the G-52 technological expert and eternal optimist, known for his cocky cheerfulness and gravelly voice to go with it. He has been Crush's best friend since childhood. His patented inventions include the Hip Solution, a flavored water drink that provides immunity to hypnosis of sorts, and all sorts of crimefighting gadgets including special communicators the G-52s use to talk to one another. His only superpower is X-ray vision. His real name is Tom DeCarlo, and he presents his own internet video game show, the "G-52 Video Game Review" (although rotating with Crush, Cripto, and sometimes Leo the Patriotic Lion).
*'''The Avenger:''' Rat; a British superhero hailing from London, England, who was the first foreigner to become a G-52, and thus spark an international relationship between the two countries (United States and United Kingdom). His superpowers include the full basic package, as well as icy abilities allowing him to throw chilling cold iceballs and freeze all in his tracks. (This is due to him having a body temperature of absolute zero.) He also gained the ability to fluently speak every single language in the world, including ones that were thought to be extinct (such as Hellenic). His real name is Rat Sult, and he works as a business administrator for a bread company.
*'''Grease''': Brown cat; he speaks with a voice comparable to Clint Eastwood in the film Dirty Harry ("Go ahead, make my day!"). He was born in Poland but moved to America at age 5 1/2, and is the only other multilingual G-52, though he only speaks Polish and English. His superpowers include the basic full package, as well as the abilities to spew oil all over the place. His real name is Daniel Claxton, and he works as a mechanic at the shop he owns, "The Grease Pit."
*'''The Flaming Cheetah (F.C.)''': Cheetah; a supersonic speed demon who can run faster than the speed of sound (similar to the Flash and Sonic the Hedgehog). His real name is Chuck Carson, and he currently is unemployed; he tends to be a drifter and go from place to place.
*'''Firecat''': Wildcat; he shares the same fiery powers Super C has. His real name is Frank Stafford Geraldo, and, ironically, he serves as a firefighter.
*'''Icecat''': Wildcat; Firecat's brother. He shares the same icy powers as the Avenger. His real name is Ian Geraldo, and he is the founder of Metro Lion Appliances, an appliance chain that began locally owned and operated by the family, now expanding into a full nationwide chain.
*'''Super Slash''': Bengal tiger with black hair; he's also known as the "Tiger of Terror." He once served in the U.S. Army and is a prime example of a sufferer of PTSD (posttraumtic stress disorder). In spite of that, he's often hailed as the greatest soldier ever since Douglas MacArthur. He wields the basic full package of superpowers and a special power ring that can do a variety of tasks, depending on the situation. He's known for his growls and snarls, and for crouching and pouncing on the enemy. His real name is Mitch Brigannis.
*'''The Bionic Serval''': Serval; the first cyborg to serve in the G-52s. He has all the abilities of a typicl cyborg plus the basic full superhero package. His real name is Sandy Carvinson, and he is one of America's top professional soccer players. He has been Super Slash's best friend since childhood.
*'''Thunder Fox (T.F.)''': Fox; he served in the U.S. Coast Guard and later the U.S. Border Patrol. He has the full superhero package plus the ability to control weather to a certain point. His most common method is to throw lightning bolts at the enemy. His real name is Peter Ollendorf, and he currently works as a stock executive.
*'''Captain Cripton (Captain C, the Captain)''': Gray cat; often hailed as Super C's British counterpart in terms of his attitudes of patriotism. He lives in Leeds, Yorkshire County, in England. He has the same icy powers as the Avenger and Icecat, and is the second British G-52 to join. He often does his own "V for victory" in the style of Winston Churchill. His real name is Jack Denton, and the name was intentionally connected to the nickname for the flag of the UK (Union Jack). He works as a syndicated humor columnist for various British newspapers wishing to buy his articles.
*'''Firefox''': Fox; a fiercely patriotic Scotsman living in Glasgow. He shares the same fiery powers of Super C, and also wields a rocket launcher. His real name is Dennis Quaisley, and he works as a production assistant for STV. He is the third British G-52 to join.
*'''Warwolf''': Wolf; the fourth British G-52 to join, hailing from Liverpool, England. He has the basic superhero package, plus a supersonic howl that can be heard up to 5,000 miles away. His real name is Mike Gavin, and he works as a lorry driver (truck driver) that delivers supplies to mostly fast food chains, among other places.

===Misc. Allies of Superheroes===
*'''General Mike Morton''': Tiger; former 5-star general of the US Army and commanding officer of the 112th Tiger Troopers, the unit Super Slash was in, and (as of 2014) has never lost a battle since the end of the Vietnam War. Scholars argue he is the greatest living soldier since Douglas MacArthur to fight for freedom, though he says its Super Slash for his unyielding loyalty to the unit, and his willingness to put his own life on the line for others. Upon retirement, he moved from California down to Glenn View Springs, where he now owns his own ranch.
*'''SSG Benjamin Wilder of the Hellcats of West Point''': Tiger; Tom the Patriotic Tiger's father and celebrated Drumcat, or snare drum soldier, in the Hellcats, the US Army's last active field musicians. He takes pride in working at the US Military Academy, which stands on the same grounds where the colonial troops once fought.
*'''Mayor Leo Clarkson''': White lion; the mayor of Wildcat City for 12 terms (as of 2012) and still going strong. Clarkson often claims he's a bigger controversy than all US Presidents put together (but more recently comparing himself to just Barack Obama) because he's mayor of a city whose harsh extreme laws did nothing but violate the US Constitution, and reducing all its citizens to nothing but drones and clones. Thus, it's not surprising to hear he's the absolute most-targeted politician. Laws struck down by the Supreme Court during his lifetime include the city's desparate attempt to be clean-mouthed by jailing offenders for six months and/or fining them $2,000 for every swear word they said out loud. (This violates the First Amendement's guarantees of freedom of speech, though some argue that profanity isn't protected by that when the Miller Test is put to good use.) Propositions to build a casino have been burned by Clarkson on live television by means of him lighting a match and watching the paper he threw in the wastebasket burn for a bit, before using a fire extinguisher to put it out. The city has since cinemas and stage theatres, and only allowed cinemas after someone argued that was violating the Constitution by not having one. ("But in a world where the internet has changed everything," Clarkson said, "what's the point of having those?") When not carrying out his mayor's duties, Clarkson is an avid league bowler, and has six 300 games and two 800 series to his credit. He's also bowled at pro-am events, and has beaten some of the pros. His lifetime average is 257.

===Cowboys/Indians/Cavalry===
====The Fab 5====
*'''"Callahan Cody" Belachman"''': Lynx; leader of the Texas-based posse known as the Fab 5. His ancestry includes a vigiliante gunfighter that won $90,000 (quite the fortune in the 1840s) for bringing a gang to justice. He is armed with two Colt .45s and is not afraid to use them, and he's over-defensive of his home state (Texas) three times more than how much Leo the Patriotic Lion is of America, and in the words of Leo, "It's terrifying!" He runs a ranch when not bounty hunting, and in addition to Wildcat City, can often be seen in Hicksburg, TX, a Wild West town with a proud heritage. He also rides on horseback everywhere because he won't pay for an automobile or gasoline.
*'''Benjamin Travis''': Bobcat; born in Cuba but at age 5 moved with family to Texas to escape Fidel Castro's dictatorship. He still has a very slight Cuban accent but speaks normal cowboy talk. He works for the post office when not bounty hunting. He wields a lasso.
*'''John Thane/The Masked Ranger''': Wildcat; a parody of the [[Lone Ranger]] but without an Indian companion, and no corpse to fake his death. Instead, he joined the Fab 5 to find new friends. He is a full-time bounty hunter. He wields two guns and a lasso.
*'''"Bandit Bryce" Burton''': Tiger; once a wanted outlaw thanks to a case of amnesia from a safe that dropped on his head, and the safe had $5,000 in it. Cripto devised a plan to save him, and succeeded, and all charges were dropped against him afterwards. He has since fought for good, although one of his ancestors was killed by the gunfighter that is Cody's ancestor.
*'''David Blaze''': Lion; willingly moved out of home at age 13 and rambled around as a homeless being since then, at least until Cripto felt bad for him and helped him get back to being a middle-class being. He lives in a house by the Bengal Lake. He wields a lasso.

====The Nickelbacks====
*'''"Nickelback Nathan" Knox''': Wildcat; leader of the posse that bears his nickname, the Nickelbacks. They live in the Wild West-based town of Glenn View Springs, Arizona. The nickname came from Nathan paying five cents more than the total when making a purchase, and insisting the cashier take the nickel back. People meant it as an insult, but the humble wildcat took it to heart. Nathan wields a lasso, and speaks stereotypical incorrect grammar: "Ain't no rain touchin' them crops of mine. How 'bout y'all?" instead of "No rain is going to get at my crops. What about yours?" He runs a ranch full-time when not enforcing the law alongside the Sheriff. He is not afraid to sacrifice himself for others, and once let himself take a shot in the chest so that the bartender would not take a hit.
*'''"Dangerous David" Jamison''': Lion; grew up the victim of bullying until Nathan stood on the wall for him, and has been best friends and neighbors with Nathan ever since. He has great physical strengh, and only uses that when fighting crime. He runs a ranch next door to Nathan's, and in some areas, the two share land. They don't mind, though. His father is ex-gangster George Jamison.
*'''"Crazy Colton" Swabb''': Puma (mountain lion); the adventure-loving member of the group that lives up to his nickname. He can make anything fun, and he's always got a reason to smile. He also uses a lasso.
*'''"Lucky Luke" Fritz''': Lion; he seems to have been born under a four-leaf clover, having won quite a few contests in his day. He still shows responsibility by running his parents oil-rigging business. He wields two Colt .45s.
*'''"Tumbleweed Tom" Sharkey''': Tiger; his nickname is a bit of a misnomer but references ancestors that were pioneers and nomads. He works for the bank when not fighting crime, and lives in the main parts of town.

====Other Wild West Associates====
*'''The Righteous Outlaw''': Tiger; a cowboy vigilante that can serve as a double agent when needed, hence his nickname. His real name remains a mystery forever since Bully Dawggerson, the criminal-turned-crimefighter had served his sentence for murdering the Outlaw's parents and burning his birth certificate, all when the Outlaw was only two years old. The Outlaw had since found ways to educate and take care of himself. He wields two revolvers and a lariat, and dresses mainly in black clothing, even a black cowboy hat.
*'''"Licky Nicky"''': Tiger; short for "Licorice Nicholas," this originally referred to a famous tiger Sheriff of Glenn View Springs, Arizona, known for eating licorice. Today, this is Cripto's cowboy identity used when necessary; originally he went on assignment looking like the Outlaw, but when his mask got stolen (and subsequently burned) by the enemy, people noted that without the mask, he looked like the original Licky Nicky, and he's gone this way since. He wields two guns and a lariat, and emphasizes that he never shoots to kill.
*'''Jocko the Indian Wolf''': Wolf; a tribal Native American wolf that is head of the Moon Dweller tribe. Originally he was thought to be the only survivor until supernatural circumstances proved otherwise, and he now leads all survivors of the tribe in their daily living. A momument in the center of his new place of estates, Moon Dweller Estates, is dedicated to the tribeswolves that died in the massacre. His tribe also began an internationally loved barebecue restaurant chain, Moon Dweller BBQ. He speaks in stereotypical broken English (a la Tonto, sidekick to the Lone Ranger), and frequently refers to the Righteous Outlaw as "tigersabe" (pronounced "tiger saw bee") and Cripto in his Licky Nicky role as "tigersabe's partner." He wields a spear and other tribal weapons, and is a professional at standard tribal drumming.
*'''Warrior Wolf''': Wolf; a member of Jocko's tribe. He can talk in more fluent English than Jocko, but otherwise, fits all the standards of this Native American setting. He also wields a spear, and sometimes he uses a crossbow.
*'''Bully Dawggerson''': Bulldog; originally a gangster and head of his own gang, that gang soon dissolved when the outlaws felt there was no more use for doing bad deeds. He killed the Righteous Outlaw's parents and burned his birth certificate, but the judge only sentenced him to life in prison, later reversed to a certain number of years when it was discovered that he, too, had been immortalized by CNG. This was his only major crime; any subsequent crimes of his were considered minor ones, and his last stand as a criminal came when the Nickelbacks trapped him and his guns jammed. He wields two guns.
*'''Butch and Spike''': Bulldogs; two double-agents only pretending to be part of Bully's gang just to keep themselves alive. They each wield two guns.
*'''Fritz Buchannan''': Bulldog; Bully's successor as gang leader until the gang's dissolvement. He also wields two guns, and his last stand as a criminal was thwarted when the Outlaw shot his horse in self-defense.
*'''Dead Hand Dan''': Coyote; he also led his own gang for a time while rouge and evil, and legend has it that, like Bandit Bryce, it started when he got struck on the head with a blunt object. He used to battle the Fab 5 (although mostly against just Callahan Cody) until a day when SUPERCAT managed to beat him via means of a strange cross-dressing act (which he says he's regretted ever since). He did not, however, go back to being a good guy via another strike on the head; he went through proper rehabilitation and mind-clearing. He wields two guns as well, and these days leads a militia known as the Coyote Rangers. He migrated to Glenn View Springs, Arizona, when he discovered his cousin, Dead-Eye Dennis, was also causing troubles and continuing to lead the gang. His cousin has since rehabilitated and also joined the Rangers. His nickname came from a true story where he had actually killed a rival gangster holding a poker hand of two aces and two eights (known in poker as the "dead man's hand").
*'''Dead-Eye Dennis''': Coyote; Dan's cousin who took over for the gang and continued to lead raids until a horrific incident where he developed PTSD from suffering a broken nose and broken teeth during a gun raid; this raid ended the gang's status as a gang, and all members (including Dennis) went through healing and rehab, and subsequently became Coyote Rangers. Dennis led the gang during the massacre which spread rumors that only Jocko was the surviving tribeswolf of the Moon Dweller Tribe until otherwise proven that this was not the case. He carries two guns.
*'''Geoff the Generous''': White cat; a kind-hearted feline known for his generous giving of big money to certain chairites, and living otherwise like a normal middle-class being. He lives in Wildcat City's farming community that has a Wild West heritage, known as Horseshoeville, and while he carries two guns and a lariat, he rarely, if ever, finds use for them. He does more volunteer work than work he gets paid for, most of which comes from being a farmer. He wears normal cowboy garb, and his belt has a siver star inside a circle.
*'''General Victor Kratz''': Red fox; leader of a different milita cavalry unit whose members are spread across the state, and come together only in dire emergencies. The presence of four other notable soldiers plus him have collectively nicknamed them "The Five." He and his cohorts regularly patrol the city for crime sprees and aid in law enforcement. He first met the modern Licky Nicky (Cripto), when the latter was saving a gold shipment from thieves on its way to Fort Knox, and aided in helping Cripto get the gold on the train. His other soldiers are a jaguar, lion, wolf, and bulldog, but due to the panic over Bully Dawggerson burning the Outlaw's birth certificate, only the jaguar's name is known to the public. He carries two guns.
*'''Sgt. Jack Gronewolf''': Jaguar; bugler in "The Five" and the only other soldier whose name is known due to Bully Dawggerson's burning of the Outlaw's birth certificate, as well as celebrated for carrying on his family tradition of playing the bugle. He resorts at times to using a lariat, but no guns.

Leo the Tiger

70.129.187.186: /* =Other Wild West Associates */

{{cleanup}}
'''Leo the Tiger''' (born January 8, 1990) is a [[furry writer]] from [[Wikipedia:Joplin, Missouri|Joplin, Missouri]], U.S.A. While he has a large list of [[character]]s he uses in his works, Leo's official [[fursona]] is a [[Wikipedia:Bengal tiger|Bengal tiger]] who wears a green [[Wikipedia:Drum major|drum major's]] uniform with an "L" on his hat. (The "L" stands for "Leo").

==Character backstory==
Leo hails from a planet known as Kriegland, and came to America upon the great migration of the whole population, escaping just hours before the villainous group known as the Quarrelsome Quartet destroyed the planet with their Laser Beam 5000. Leo is the drum major of three bands at once: a military-oriented band, a showoff marching band (like at college football games), and a pipe and drum band. While all these bands have only civilian tigers serving as professional musicians for a living, Leo calls his first band a military band due to the instrumentation of it, particularly in the percussion.

Leo's best friend is John the Tiger, the drum major in charge of the actual Krieglandonian military band, and hailed by Leo the Patriotic Lion (an American lion composer) as the Sousa of Kriegland, and a musical symbol of Krieglandonian patriotism. Since arriving in America, John and his band (and later Leo and his three bands) have regularly received ''25'' times as many loyal concert attendees as the average big name in pop and country music, and part of that was due to their role in assisting Leo the Patriotic Lion and his enormously successful campaign to get Americans back on track in the wake of the Kriegland tragedy and the disgust that followed the Vietnam War.

Leo and his showoff band were invited to participate in a band competition held at the academy for the eternals upon invitation by the prince of the eternals, Prince Zanta Alexander Keplicus the Third (the character played by [[16weeks]]), with Leo the Patriotic Lion serving as a judge to represent Earth. They participated with three other bands, with a separate section held just for the drumlines. Leo and his showoffs won by a landslide, and the prize was a vacation home for each and every member of the showoffs (including Leo), and a cash prize of $2 million to put to good use. Leo chose to donate the whole $2 million to charity, since he believes in giving the best performance a band can give, making all the hard work pay off, and that itself shall be their reward.

Leo is currently looking for more tigers to expand his bands so that the military and showoff bands will have about 250 to 300 tigers each. That way, he says, it will sound more civilized.

== Immortalization ==
Leo, like many of his friends that belong to the organization of superheroes and allied fighters known as the G-52s (led by SUPERCAT, the Cat of Steel), has been immortalized by the very thing that can harm the Cat of Steel: criptonitroglycerite. (The Cat of Steel gets his from the yellow sun.) Thus, he is 22 years old and living eternal life at that age. How he got immortalized remains a mystery forever.

== Other characters ==
Other characters Leo writes about include the following, mentioning their code name, species, descriptions, and alternate name if they have one, plus occupation. All G-52s are American in citizenship unless noted otherwise, and all have been immortalized by CNG (criptonitroglycerite). The American G-52s all make their home in Wildcat City, Kansas, USA, the place where the Krieglandonians (including Leo the Tiger) chose home after losing their planet. Leo also has written stories based on roleplaying in the furry fandom, and such roleplays have had an effect on his world as a whole.

===Superheroes===
*'''SUPERCAT (Super C)''': Orange tabby; the head of the G-52 organization who is his own symbol of patriotism. He throws fireballs in five different colors: red, white, blue, green, and yellow. He also has the basic superhero package (flight, super hearing, super high jump, super strength, X-ray vision, and virtual invulernability). His alternate name is Simon Corrineson, and he owns Wildcat Power Gyms. He hails from the planet Caticon originally; his planet's population later migrated to Earth.
*'''WARCAT (W.C.) ''': Bengal tiger; a freelance police officer who wears only black clothes and drives a motorcycle he calls "Fireball." His real name is Nathan James McDowell. He has no powers, but wields a standard Colt .45 on his utility belt.
*'''CRIPTOCAT (Cripto)''': Bengal tiger; hailed as "the superhero of the century" since his powers of imagination-becoming-reality and his pure heart and intentions make him the most powerful tiger in the universe. He wields a magical sword he calls Invincican. His real name is Nathan Knight, and he is the lead singer and guitarist for the rock band Furry Fury. His powers include X-ray vision, super hearing, super high jump, and the ability to make extraordinary elements of the surreal and supernatural occur with the snap of his fingers or wave of his hands. He also has a cowboy identity (see below), making him the only superhero that has three identities, and not two.
*'''Danger Woman (D.W.)''': Female catamount with yellow hair; she's best known for her risks and stunts in both crime fighting and in sports, and (so far) the only female G-52. Her real name is Jennifer McCartney, and she is a professional Supercross rider and champion. She has the basic package of powers.
*'''John the Tiger/Cat of Chaos (C.C.)''': Bengal tiger; Leo the Tiger's best friend and fellow drum major and composer from Kriegland. His codename came from a character he voiced in anti-piracy PSAs, and soon he donned the costume for real, though he has no superpowers of his own. He can, however, finished elaborate compositions of music in 15 minutes or less.
*'''Leo the Patriotic Lion''': Lion; he is a military drum major-turned-orator whose huge voice that can reach millions of people without the aid of a loudspeaker has caused the world to panic and fear him, and accept his words as law from this huge paranoia. He has since apologized for it and taken anger management classes, but the world has forgiven him and shown him how much good came out of all his bellowing. He has no powers apart from that. His real name is Leo Zannichi, and like Mozart, he began composing at a very early age; two to be precise.
*'''Tom the Patriotic Tiger''': Bengal tiger; Leo's tiger counterpart and fellow musician/composer. His real name is Tom Wilder.
*'''Leo the Super Patriotic Lion/Super Leo''': Lion; Leo the Patriotic Lion's counterpart that has superpowers (hence the nickname "Super Leo"). His powers include the full basic package and the ability to throw a "star-spangled blast" (red, white, and blue bars connected together with stars of the same colors mixed in). Anyone who gets hit by the blast gets knocked out and is left literally seeing stars in their eyes. His real name is Leo Crossfire, and he once was a U.S. Air Force airman (or airlion, as the case may be). He met his best friend and then-future tiger counterpart (Super Tom) when the two crashed in the same battlefield after being shot down. Both got their superpowers in that field. He currently keeps in shape as a professional bodybuilder, but by G-52 policy does not do the inappropriate side of it (such as modeling and competiting to show off muscles).
*'''Tom the Super Patriotic Tiger/Super Tom''': Bengal tiger; Tom the Patriotic Tiger's counterpart that has the same superpowers as Super Leo. He was a U.S. Navy fighter pilot. His real name is Tom Sanderson.
*'''BONECRUSHER (Crush)''': Lion; a super-buff lion that can lift 50,000 pounds with the greatest of ease, but works as a certified FIFA soccer referee. He became notable for his threats of giving hard red cards to soccer plays who lie intentionally in various ways; the most common is pretending to be injured so one side can stall for time. He says he doesn't have any powers, though one might argue that his super strength he worked so hard for can be counted as a superpower. His real name is Leo Fitzgerald, and he also takes pleasure in knowing every rule of every sport, board game, and card game by heart. As a result, he spent a few rainy days teaching Cripto how to play games such as backgammon, go, and euchre.
*'''Techno Tiger (T2)''': Bengal tiger; the G-52 technological expert and eternal optimist, known for his cocky cheerfulness and gravelly voice to go with it. He has been Crush's best friend since childhood. His patented inventions include the Hip Solution, a flavored water drink that provides immunity to hypnosis of sorts, and all sorts of crimefighting gadgets including special communicators the G-52s use to talk to one another. His only superpower is X-ray vision. His real name is Tom DeCarlo, and he presents his own internet video game show, the "G-52 Video Game Review" (although rotating with Crush, Cripto, and sometimes Leo the Patriotic Lion).
*'''The Avenger:''' Rat; a British superhero hailing from London, England, who was the first foreigner to become a G-52, and thus spark an international relationship between the two countries (United States and United Kingdom). His superpowers include the full basic package, as well as icy abilities allowing him to throw chilling cold iceballs and freeze all in his tracks. (This is due to him having a body temperature of absolute zero.) He also gained the ability to fluently speak every single language in the world, including ones that were thought to be extinct (such as Hellenic). His real name is Rat Sult, and he works as a business administrator for a bread company.
*'''Grease''': Brown cat; he speaks with a voice comparable to Clint Eastwood in the film Dirty Harry ("Go ahead, make my day!"). He was born in Poland but moved to America at age 5 1/2, and is the only other multilingual G-52, though he only speaks Polish and English. His superpowers include the basic full package, as well as the abilities to spew oil all over the place. His real name is Daniel Claxton, and he works as a mechanic at the shop he owns, "The Grease Pit."
*'''The Flaming Cheetah (F.C.)''': Cheetah; a supersonic speed demon who can run faster than the speed of sound (similar to the Flash and Sonic the Hedgehog). His real name is Chuck Carson, and he currently is unemployed; he tends to be a drifter and go from place to place.
*'''Firecat''': Wildcat; he shares the same fiery powers Super C has. His real name is Frank Stafford Geraldo, and, ironically, he serves as a firefighter.
*'''Icecat''': Wildcat; Firecat's brother. He shares the same icy powers as the Avenger. His real name is Ian Geraldo, and he is the founder of Metro Lion Appliances, an appliance chain that began locally owned and operated by the family, now expanding into a full nationwide chain.
*'''Super Slash''': Bengal tiger with black hair; he's also known as the "Tiger of Terror." He once served in the U.S. Army and is a prime example of a sufferer of PTSD (posttraumtic stress disorder). In spite of that, he's often hailed as the greatest soldier ever since Douglas MacArthur. He wields the basic full package of superpowers and a special power ring that can do a variety of tasks, depending on the situation. He's known for his growls and snarls, and for crouching and pouncing on the enemy. His real name is Mitch Brigannis.
*'''The Bionic Serval''': Serval; the first cyborg to serve in the G-52s. He has all the abilities of a typicl cyborg plus the basic full superhero package.

===Misc. Allies of Superheroes===
*'''General Mike Morton''': Tiger; former 5-star general of the US Army and commanding officer of the 112th Tiger Troopers, the unit Super Slash was in, and (as of 2014) has never lost a battle since the end of the Vietnam War. Scholars argue he is the greatest living soldier since Douglas MacArthur to fight for freedom, though he says its Super Slash for his unyielding loyalty to the unit, and his willingness to put his own life on the line for others. Upon retirement, he moved from California down to Glenn View Springs, where he now owns his own ranch.
*'''SSG Benjamin Wilder of the Hellcats of West Point''': Tiger; Tom the Patriotic Tiger's father and celebrated Drumcat, or snare drum soldier, in the Hellcats, the US Army's last active field musicians. He takes pride in working at the US Military Academy, which stands on the same grounds where the colonial troops once fought.

===Cowboys/Indians/Cavalry===
====The Fab 5====
*'''"Callahan Cody" Belachman"''': Lynx; leader of the Texas-based posse known as the Fab 5. His ancestry includes a vigiliante gunfighter that won $90,000 (quite the fortune in the 1840s) for bringing a gang to justice. He is armed with two Colt .45s and is not afraid to use them, and he's over-defensive of his home state (Texas) three times more than how much Leo the Patriotic Lion is of America, and in the words of Leo, "It's terrifying!" He runs a ranch when not bounty hunting, and in addition to Wildcat City, can often be seen in Hicksburg, TX, a Wild West town with a proud heritage. He also rides on horseback everywhere because he won't pay for an automobile or gasoline.
*'''Benjamin Travis''': Bobcat; born in Cuba but at age 5 moved with family to Texas to escape Fidel Castro's dictatorship. He still has a very slight Cuban accent but speaks normal cowboy talk. He works for the post office when not bounty hunting. He wields a lasso.
*'''John Thane/The Masked Ranger''': Wildcat; a parody of the [[Lone Ranger]] but without an Indian companion, and no corpse to fake his death. Instead, he joined the Fab 5 to find new friends. He is a full-time bounty hunter. He wields two guns and a lasso.
*'''"Bandit Bryce" Burton''': Tiger; once a wanted outlaw thanks to a case of amnesia from a safe that dropped on his head, and the safe had $5,000 in it. Cripto devised a plan to save him, and succeeded, and all charges were dropped against him afterwards. He has since fought for good, although one of his ancestors was killed by the gunfighter that is Cody's ancestor.
*'''David Blaze''': Lion; willingly moved out of home at age 13 and rambled around as a homeless being since then, at least until Cripto felt bad for him and helped him get back to being a middle-class being. He lives in a house by the Bengal Lake. He wields a lasso.

====The Nickelbacks====
*'''"Nickelback Nathan" Knox''': Wildcat; leader of the posse that bears his nickname, the Nickelbacks. They live in the Wild West-based town of Glenn View Springs, Arizona. The nickname came from Nathan paying five cents more than the total when making a purchase, and insisting the cashier take the nickel back. People meant it as an insult, but the humble wildcat took it to heart. Nathan wields a lasso, and speaks stereotypical incorrect grammar: "Ain't no rain touchin' them crops of mine. How 'bout y'all?" instead of "No rain is going to get at my crops. What about yours?" He runs a ranch full-time when not enforcing the law alongside the Sheriff. He is not afraid to sacrifice himself for others, and once let himself take a shot in the chest so that the bartender would not take a hit.
*'''"Dangerous David" Jamison''': Lion; grew up the victim of bullying until Nathan stood on the wall for him, and has been best friends and neighbors with Nathan ever since. He has great physical strengh, and only uses that when fighting crime. He runs a ranch next door to Nathan's, and in some areas, the two share land. They don't mind, though. His father is ex-gangster George Jamison.
*'''"Crazy Colton" Swabb''': Puma (mountain lion); the adventure-loving member of the group that lives up to his nickname. He can make anything fun, and he's always got a reason to smile. He also uses a lasso.
*'''"Lucky Luke" Fritz''': Lion; he seems to have been born under a four-leaf clover, having won quite a few contests in his day. He still shows responsibility by running his parents oil-rigging business. He wields two Colt .45s.
*'''"Tumbleweed Tom" Sharkey''': Tiger; his nickname is a bit of a misnomer but references ancestors that were pioneers and nomads. He works for the bank when not fighting crime, and lives in the main parts of town.

====Other Wild West Associates====
*'''The Righteous Outlaw''': Tiger; a cowboy vigilante that can serve as a double agent when needed, hence his nickname. His real name remains a mystery forever since Bully Dawggerson, the criminal-turned-crimefighter had served his sentence for murdering the Outlaw's parents and burning his birth certificate, all when the Outlaw was only two years old. The Outlaw had since found ways to educate and take care of himself. He wields two revolvers and a lariat, and dresses mainly in black clothing, even a black cowboy hat.
*'''"Licky Nicky"''': Tiger; short for "Licorice Nicholas," this originally referred to a famous tiger Sheriff of Glenn View Springs, Arizona, known for eating licorice. Today, this is Cripto's cowboy identity used when necessary; originally he went on assignment looking like the Outlaw, but when his mask got stolen (and subsequently burned) by the enemy, people noted that without the mask, he looked like the original Licky Nicky, and he's gone this way since. He wields two guns and a lariat, and emphasizes that he never shoots to kill.
*'''Jocko the Indian Wolf''': Wolf; a tribal Native American wolf that is head of the Moon Dweller tribe. Originally he was thought to be the only survivor until supernatural circumstances proved otherwise, and he now leads all survivors of the tribe in their daily living. A momument in the center of his new place of estates, Moon Dweller Estates, is dedicated to the tribeswolves that died in the massacre. His tribe also began an internationally loved barebecue restaurant chain, Moon Dweller BBQ. He speaks in stereotypical broken English (a la Tonto, sidekick to the Lone Ranger), and frequently refers to the Righteous Outlaw as "tigersabe" (pronounced "tiger saw bee") and Cripto in his Licky Nicky role as "tigersabe's partner." He wields a spear and other tribal weapons, and is a professional at standard tribal drumming.
*'''Warrior Wolf''': Wolf; a member of Jocko's tribe. He can talk in more fluent English than Jocko, but otherwise, fits all the standards of this Native American setting. He also wields a spear, and sometimes he uses a crossbow.
*'''Bully Dawggerson''': Bulldog; originally a gangster and head of his own gang, that gang soon dissolved when the outlaws felt there was no more use for doing bad deeds. He killed the Righteous Outlaw's parents and burned his birth certificate, but the judge only sentenced him to life in prison, later reversed to a certain number of years when it was discovered that he, too, had been immortalized by CNG. This was his only major crime; any subsequent crimes of his were considered minor ones, and his last stand as a criminal came when the Nickelbacks trapped him and his guns jammed. He wields two guns.
*'''Butch and Spike''': Bulldogs; two double-agents only pretending to be part of Bully's gang just to keep themselves alive. They each wield two guns.
*'''Fritz Buchannan''': Bulldog; Bully's successor as gang leader until the gang's dissolvement. He also wields two guns, and his last stand as a criminal was thwarted when the Outlaw shot his horse in self-defense.
*'''Dead Hand Dan''': Coyote; he also led his own gang for a time while rouge and evil, and legend has it that, like Bandit Bryce, it started when he got struck on the head with a blunt object. He used to battle the Fab 5 (although mostly against just Callahan Cody) until a day when SUPERCAT managed to beat him via means of a strange cross-dressing act (which he says he's regretted ever since). He did not, however, go back to being a good guy via another strike on the head; he went through proper rehabilitation and mind-clearing. He wields two guns as well, and these days leads a militia known as the Coyote Rangers. He migrated to Glenn View Springs, Arizona, when he discovered his cousin, Dead-Eye Dennis, was also causing troubles and continuing to lead the gang. His cousin has since rehabilitated and also joined the Rangers. His nickname came from a true story where he had actually killed a rival gangster holding a poker hand of two aces and two eights (known in poker as the "dead man's hand").
*'''Dead-Eye Dennis''': Coyote; Dan's cousin who took over for the gang and continued to lead raids until a horrific incident where he developed PTSD from suffering a broken nose and broken teeth during a gun raid; this raid ended the gang's status as a gang, and all members (including Dennis) went through healing and rehab, and subsequently became Coyote Rangers. Dennis led the gang during the massacre which spread rumors that only Jocko was the surviving tribeswolf of the Moon Dweller Tribe until otherwise proven that this was not the case. He carries two guns.
*'''Geoff the Generous''': White cat; a kind-hearted feline known for his generous giving of big money to certain chairites, and living otherwise like a normal middle-class being. He lives in Wildcat City's farming community that has a Wild West heritage, known as Horseshoeville, and while he carries two guns and a lariat, he rarely, if ever, finds use for them. He does more volunteer work than work he gets paid for, most of which comes from being a farmer. He wears normal cowboy garb, and his belt has a siver star inside a circle.
*'''General Victor Kratz''': Red fox; leader of a different milita cavalry unit whose members are spread across the state, and come together only in dire emergencies. The presence of four other notable soldiers plus him have collectively nicknamed them "The Five." He and his cohorts regularly patrol the city for crime sprees and aid in law enforcement. He first met the modern Licky Nicky (Cripto), when the latter was saving a gold shipment from thieves on its way to Fort Knox, and aided in helping Cripto get the gold on the train. His other soldiers are a jaguar, lion, wolf, and bulldog, but due to the panic over Bully Dawggerson burning the Outlaw's birth certificate, only the jaguar's name is known to the public. He carries two guns.
*'''Sgt. Jack Gronewolf''': Jaguar; bugler in "The Five" and the only other soldier whose name is known due to Bully Dawggerson's burning of the Outlaw's birth certificate, as well as celebrated for carrying on his family tradition of playing the bugle. He resorts at times to using a lariat, but no guns.

Leo the Tiger

2014-09-17T16:56:48Z

70.129.187.186: /* Misc. Allies of Superheroes */

{{cleanup}}
'''Leo the Tiger''' (born January 8, 1990) is a [[furry writer]] from [[Wikipedia:Joplin, Missouri|Joplin, Missouri]], U.S.A. While he has a large list of [[character]]s he uses in his works, Leo's official [[fursona]] is a [[Wikipedia:Bengal tiger|Bengal tiger]] who wears a green [[Wikipedia:Drum major|drum major's]] uniform with an "L" on his hat. (The "L" stands for "Leo").

==Character backstory==
Leo hails from a planet known as Kriegland, and came to America upon the great migration of the whole population, escaping just hours before the villainous group known as the Quarrelsome Quartet destroyed the planet with their Laser Beam 5000. Leo is the drum major of three bands at once: a military-oriented band, a showoff marching band (like at college football games), and a pipe and drum band. While all these bands have only civilian tigers serving as professional musicians for a living, Leo calls his first band a military band due to the instrumentation of it, particularly in the percussion.

Leo's best friend is John the Tiger, the drum major in charge of the actual Krieglandonian military band, and hailed by Leo the Patriotic Lion (an American lion composer) as the Sousa of Kriegland, and a musical symbol of Krieglandonian patriotism. Since arriving in America, John and his band (and later Leo and his three bands) have regularly received ''25'' times as many loyal concert attendees as the average big name in pop and country music, and part of that was due to their role in assisting Leo the Patriotic Lion and his enormously successful campaign to get Americans back on track in the wake of the Kriegland tragedy and the disgust that followed the Vietnam War.

Leo and his showoff band were invited to participate in a band competition held at the academy for the eternals upon invitation by the prince of the eternals, Prince Zanta Alexander Keplicus the Third (the character played by [[16weeks]]), with Leo the Patriotic Lion serving as a judge to represent Earth. They participated with three other bands, with a separate section held just for the drumlines. Leo and his showoffs won by a landslide, and the prize was a vacation home for each and every member of the showoffs (including Leo), and a cash prize of $2 million to put to good use. Leo chose to donate the whole $2 million to charity, since he believes in giving the best performance a band can give, making all the hard work pay off, and that itself shall be their reward.

Leo is currently looking for more tigers to expand his bands so that the military and showoff bands will have about 250 to 300 tigers each. That way, he says, it will sound more civilized.

== Character profile ==
*'''Species''': Bengal tiger
*'''Alternate name''': Leo Sanchez
*'''Age immortalized''': 22
*'''Occupation''': Drum major of three bands at once: a military band (defined by instrumentation), a showoff band (think college football halftime shows), and a pipe and drum band, all of which have all professional musician tigers willingly making a living out of that.
*'''Original hometown''': Agri region, Kriegland (moved to Wildcat City, Kansas City, USA at time of destruction)
*'''Clothing''': Green drum major’s uniform with silver detailing and a silver “L” on his hat, which stands for Leo.
*'''Arch-nemesis''': whoever strikes crime
*'''Personal quote''': “Leading all three bands at once is a tough challenge for me, but it is worth every minute of it and it’s a lot of fun!” (during an interview)
*'''Catchphrase''': “Let’s swing it!”

== Immortalization ==
Leo, like many of his friends that belong to the organization of superheroes and allied fighters known as the G-52s (led by SUPERCAT, the Cat of Steel), has been immortalized by the very thing that can harm the Cat of Steel: criptonitroglycerite. (The Cat of Steel gets his from the yellow sun.) Thus, he is 22 years old and living eternal life at that age. How he got immortalized remains a mystery forever.

== Other characters ==
Other characters Leo writes about include the following, mentioning their code name, species, descriptions, and alternate name if they have one, plus occupation. All G-52s are American in citizenship unless noted otherwise, and all have been immortalized by CNG (criptonitroglycerite). The American G-52s all make their home in Wildcat City, Kansas, USA, the place where the Krieglandonians (including Leo the Tiger) chose home after losing their planet. Leo also has written stories based on roleplaying in the furry fandom, and such roleplays have had an effect on his world as a whole.

His real name is Mike Gavin, and he works as a lorry driver (truck driver) that delivers supplies to mostly fast food chains, among other places.

===Misc. Allies of Superheroes===
*'''General Mike Morton''': Tiger; former 5-star general of the US Army and commanding officer of the 112th Tiger Troopers, the unit Super Slash was in, and (as of 2014) has never lost a battle since the end of the Vietnam War. Scholars argue he is the greatest living soldier since Douglas MacArthur to fight for freedom, though he says its Super Slash for his unyielding loyalty to the unit, and his willingness to put his own life on the line for others. Upon retirement, he moved from California down to Glenn View Springs, where he now owns his own ranch.
*'''SSG Benjamin Wilder of the Hellcats of West Point''': Tiger; Tom the Patriotic Tiger's father and celebrated Drumcat, or snare drum soldier, in the Hellcats, the US Army's last active field musicians. He takes pride in working at the US Military Academy, which stands on the same grounds where the colonial troops once fought.

===Cowboys/Indians/Cavalry===
====The Fab 5====
*'''"Callahan Cody" Belachman"''': Lynx; leader of the Texas-based posse known as the Fab 5. His ancestry includes a vigiliante gunfighter that won $90,000 (quite the fortune in the 1840s) for bringing a gang to justice. He is armed with two Colt .45s and is not afraid to use them, and he's over-defensive of his home state (Texas) three times more than how much Leo the Patriotic Lion is of America, and in the words of Leo, "It's terrifying!" He runs a ranch when not bounty hunting, and in addition to Wildcat City, can often be seen in Hicksburg, TX, a Wild West town with a proud heritage. He also rides on horseback everywhere because he won't pay for an automobile or gasoline.
*'''Benjamin Travis''': Bobcat; born in Cuba but at age 5 moved with family to Texas to escape Fidel Castro's dictatorship. He still has a very slight Cuban accent but speaks normal cowboy talk. He works for the post office when not bounty hunting. He wields a lasso.
*'''John Thane/The Masked Ranger''': Wildcat; a parody of the [[Lone Ranger]] but without an Indian companion, and no corpse to fake his death. Instead, he joined the Fab 5 to find new friends. He is a full-time bounty hunter. He wields two guns and a lasso.
*'''"Bandit Bryce" Burton''': Tiger; once a wanted outlaw thanks to a case of amnesia from a safe that dropped on his head, and the safe had $5,000 in it. Cripto devised a plan to save him, and succeeded, and all charges were dropped against him afterwards. He has since fought for good, although one of his ancestors was killed by the gunfighter that is Cody's ancestor.
*'''David Blaze''': Lion; willingly moved out of home at age 13 and rambled around as a homeless being since then, at least until Cripto felt bad for him and helped him get back to being a middle-class being. He lives in a house by the Bengal Lake. He wields a lasso.

====The Nickelbacks====
*'''"Nickelback Nathan" Knox''': Wildcat; leader of the posse that bears his nickname, the Nickelbacks. They live in the Wild West-based town of Glenn View Springs, Arizona. The nickname came from Nathan paying five cents more than the total when making a purchase, and insisting the cashier take the nickel back. People meant it as an insult, but the humble wildcat took it to heart. Nathan wields a lasso, and speaks stereotypical incorrect grammar: "Ain't no rain touchin' them crops of mine. How 'bout y'all?" instead of "No rain is going to get at my crops. What about yours?" He runs a ranch full-time when not enforcing the law alongside the Sheriff. He is not afraid to sacrifice himself for others, and once let himself take a shot in the chest so that the bartender would not take a hit.
*'''"Dangerous David" Jamison''': Lion; grew up the victim of bullying until Nathan stood on the wall for him, and has been best friends and neighbors with Nathan ever since. He has great physical strengh, and only uses that when fighting crime. He runs a ranch next door to Nathan's, and in some areas, the two share land. They don't mind, though. His father is ex-gangster George Jamison.
*'''"Crazy Colton" Swabb''': Puma (mountain lion); the adventure-loving member of the group that lives up to his nickname. He can make anything fun, and he's always got a reason to smile. He also uses a lasso.
*'''"Lucky Luke" Fritz''': Lion; he seems to have been born under a four-leaf clover, having won quite a few contests in his day. He still shows responsibility by running his parents oil-rigging business. He wields two Colt .45s.
*'''"Tumbleweed Tom" Sharkey''': Tiger; his nickname is a bit of a misnomer but references ancestors that were pioneers and nomads. He works for the bank when not fighting crime, and lives in the main parts of town.

====Other Wild West Associates===
*'''The Righteous Outlaw''': Tiger; a cowboy vigilante that can serve as a double agent when needed, hence his nickname. His real name remains a mystery forever since Bully Dawggerson, the criminal-turned-crimefighter had served his sentence for murdering the Outlaw's parents and burning his birth certificate, all when the Outlaw was only two years old. The Outlaw had since found ways to educate and take care of himself. He wields two revolvers and a lariat, and dresses mainly in black clothing, even a black cowboy hat.
*'''"Licky Nicky"''': Tiger; short for "Licorice Nicholas," this originally referred to a famous tiger Sheriff of Glenn View Springs, Arizona, known for eating licorice. Today, this is Cripto's cowboy identity used when necessary; originally he went on assignment looking like the Outlaw, but when his mask got stolen (and subsequently burned) by the enemy, people noted that without the mask, he looked like the original Licky Nicky, and he's gone this way since. He wields two guns and a lariat, and emphasizes that he never shoots to kill.
*'''Jocko the Indian Wolf''': Wolf; a tribal Native American wolf that is head of the Moon Dweller tribe. Originally he was thought to be the only survivor until supernatural circumstances proved otherwise, and he now leads all survivors of the tribe in their daily living. A momument in the center of his new place of estates, Moon Dweller Estates, is dedicated to the tribeswolves that died in the massacre. His tribe also began an internationally loved barebecue restaurant chain, Moon Dweller BBQ. He speaks in stereotypical broken English (a la Tonto, sidekick to the Lone Ranger), and frequently refers to the Righteous Outlaw as "tigersabe" (pronounced "tiger saw bee") and Cripto in his Licky Nicky role as "tigersabe's partner." He wields a spear and other tribal weapons, and is a professional at standard tribal drumming.
*'''Warrior Wolf''': Wolf; a member of Jocko's tribe. He can talk in more fluent English than Jocko, but otherwise, fits all the standards of this Native American setting. He also wields a spear, and sometimes he uses a crossbow.
*'''Bully Dawggerson''': Bulldog; originally a gangster and head of his own gang, that gang soon dissolved when the outlaws felt there was no more use for doing bad deeds. He killed the Righteous Outlaw's parents and burned his birth certificate, but the judge only sentenced him to life in prison, later reversed to a certain number of years when it was discovered that he, too, had been immortalized by CNG. This was his only major crime; any subsequent crimes of his were considered minor ones, and his last stand as a criminal came when the Nickelbacks trapped him and his guns jammed. He wields two guns.
*'''Butch and Spike''': Bulldogs; two double-agents only pretending to be part of Bully's gang just to keep themselves alive. They each wield two guns.
*'''Fritz Buchannan''': Bulldog; Bully's successor as gang leader until the gang's dissolvement. He also wields two guns, and his last stand as a criminal was thwarted when the Outlaw shot his horse in self-defense.
*'''Dead Hand Dan''': Coyote; he also led his own gang for a time while rouge and evil, and legend has it that, like Bandit Bryce, it started when he got struck on the head with a blunt object. He used to battle the Fab 5 (although mostly against just Callahan Cody) until a day when SUPERCAT managed to beat him via means of a strange cross-dressing act (which he says he's regretted ever since). He did not, however, go back to being a good guy via another strike on the head; he went through proper rehabilitation and mind-clearing. He wields two guns as well, and these days leads a militia known as the Coyote Rangers. He migrated to Glenn View Springs, Arizona, when he discovered his cousin, Dead-Eye Dennis, was also causing troubles and continuing to lead the gang. His cousin has since rehabilitated and also joined the Rangers. His nickname came from a true story where he had actually killed a rival gangster holding a poker hand of two aces and two eights (known in poker as the "dead man's hand").
*'''Dead-Eye Dennis''': Coyote; Dan's cousin who took over for the gang and continued to lead raids until a horrific incident where he developed PTSD from suffering a broken nose and broken teeth during a gun raid; this raid ended the gang's status as a gang, and all members (including Dennis) went through healing and rehab, and subsequently became Coyote Rangers. Dennis led the gang during the massacre which spread rumors that only Jocko was the surviving tribeswolf of the Moon Dweller Tribe until otherwise proven that this was not the case. He carries two guns.
*'''Geoff the Generous''': White cat; a kind-hearted feline known for his generous giving of big money to certain chairites, and living otherwise like a normal middle-class being. He lives in Wildcat City's farming community that has a Wild West heritage, known as Horseshoeville, and while he carries two guns and a lariat, he rarely, if ever, finds use for them. He does more volunteer work than work he gets paid for, most of which comes from being a farmer. He wears normal cowboy garb, and his belt has a siver star inside a circle.

Leo the Tiger

2014-09-17T16:54:41Z

70.129.187.186: /* Other characters */

{{cleanup}}
'''Leo the Tiger''' (born January 8, 1990) is a [[furry writer]] from [[Wikipedia:Joplin, Missouri|Joplin, Missouri]], U.S.A. While he has a large list of [[character]]s he uses in his works, Leo's official [[fursona]] is a [[Wikipedia:Bengal tiger|Bengal tiger]] who wears a green [[Wikipedia:Drum major|drum major's]] uniform with an "L" on his hat. (The "L" stands for "Leo").

==Character backstory==
Leo hails from a planet known as Kriegland, and came to America upon the great migration of the whole population, escaping just hours before the villainous group known as the Quarrelsome Quartet destroyed the planet with their Laser Beam 5000. Leo is the drum major of three bands at once: a military-oriented band, a showoff marching band (like at college football games), and a pipe and drum band. While all these bands have only civilian tigers serving as professional musicians for a living, Leo calls his first band a military band due to the instrumentation of it, particularly in the percussion.

Leo's best friend is John the Tiger, the drum major in charge of the actual Krieglandonian military band, and hailed by Leo the Patriotic Lion (an American lion composer) as the Sousa of Kriegland, and a musical symbol of Krieglandonian patriotism. Since arriving in America, John and his band (and later Leo and his three bands) have regularly received ''25'' times as many loyal concert attendees as the average big name in pop and country music, and part of that was due to their role in assisting Leo the Patriotic Lion and his enormously successful campaign to get Americans back on track in the wake of the Kriegland tragedy and the disgust that followed the Vietnam War.

Leo and his showoff band were invited to participate in a band competition held at the academy for the eternals upon invitation by the prince of the eternals, Prince Zanta Alexander Keplicus the Third (the character played by [[16weeks]]), with Leo the Patriotic Lion serving as a judge to represent Earth. They participated with three other bands, with a separate section held just for the drumlines. Leo and his showoffs won by a landslide, and the prize was a vacation home for each and every member of the showoffs (including Leo), and a cash prize of $2 million to put to good use. Leo chose to donate the whole $2 million to charity, since he believes in giving the best performance a band can give, making all the hard work pay off, and that itself shall be their reward.

Leo is currently looking for more tigers to expand his bands so that the military and showoff bands will have about 250 to 300 tigers each. That way, he says, it will sound more civilized.

== Character profile ==
*'''Species''': Bengal tiger
*'''Alternate name''': Leo Sanchez
*'''Age immortalized''': 22
*'''Occupation''': Drum major of three bands at once: a military band (defined by instrumentation), a showoff band (think college football halftime shows), and a pipe and drum band, all of which have all professional musician tigers willingly making a living out of that.
*'''Original hometown''': Agri region, Kriegland (moved to Wildcat City, Kansas City, USA at time of destruction)
*'''Clothing''': Green drum major’s uniform with silver detailing and a silver “L” on his hat, which stands for Leo.
*'''Arch-nemesis''': whoever strikes crime
*'''Personal quote''': “Leading all three bands at once is a tough challenge for me, but it is worth every minute of it and it’s a lot of fun!” (during an interview)
*'''Catchphrase''': “Let’s swing it!”

== Immortalization ==
Leo, like many of his friends that belong to the organization of superheroes and allied fighters known as the G-52s (led by SUPERCAT, the Cat of Steel), has been immortalized by the very thing that can harm the Cat of Steel: criptonitroglycerite. (The Cat of Steel gets his from the yellow sun.) Thus, he is 22 years old and living eternal life at that age. How he got immortalized remains a mystery forever.

== Other characters ==
Other characters Leo writes about include the following, mentioning their code name, species, descriptions, and alternate name if they have one, plus occupation. All G-52s are American in citizenship unless noted otherwise, and all have been immortalized by CNG (criptonitroglycerite). The American G-52s all make their home in Wildcat City, Kansas, USA, the place where the Krieglandonians (including Leo the Tiger) chose home after losing their planet. Leo also has written stories based on roleplaying in the furry fandom, and such roleplays have had an effect on his world as a whole.

===Superheroes===
*'''SUPERCAT (Super C)''': Orange tabby; the head of the G-52 organization who is his own symbol of patriotism. He throws fireballs in five different colors: red, white, blue, green, and yellow. He also has the basic superhero package (flight, super hearing, super high jump, super strength, X-ray vision, and virtual invulernability). His alternate name is Simon Corrineson, and he owns Wildcat Power Gyms. He hails from the planet Caticon originally; his planet's population later migrated to Earth.
*'''WARCAT (W.C.) ''': Bengal tiger; a freelance police officer who wears only black clothes and drives a motorcycle he calls "Fireball." His real name is Nathan James McDowell. He has no powers, but wields a standard Colt .45 on his utility belt.
*'''CRIPTOCAT (Cripto)''': Bengal tiger; hailed as "the superhero of the century" since his powers of imagination-becoming-reality and his pure heart and intentions make him the most powerful tiger in the universe. He wields a magical sword he calls Invincican. His real name is Nathan Knight, and he is the lead singer and guitarist for the rock band Furry Fury. His powers include X-ray vision, super hearing, super high jump, and the ability to make extraordinary elements of the surreal and supernatural occur with the snap of his fingers or wave of his hands. He also has a cowboy identity (see below), making him the only superhero that has three identities, and not two.
*'''Danger Woman (D.W.)''': Female catamount with yellow hair; she's best known for her risks and stunts in both crime fighting and in sports, and (so far) the only female G-52. Her real name is Jennifer McCartney, and she is a professional Supercross rider and champion. She has the basic package of powers.
*'''John the Tiger/Cat of Chaos (C.C.)''': Bengal tiger; Leo the Tiger's best friend and fellow drum major and composer from Kriegland. His codename came from a character he voiced in anti-piracy PSAs, and soon he donned the costume for real, though he has no superpowers of his own. He can, however, finished elaborate compositions of music in 15 minutes or less.
*'''Leo the Patriotic Lion''': Lion; he is a military drum major-turned-orator whose huge voice that can reach millions of people without the aid of a loudspeaker has caused the world to panic and fear him, and accept his words as law from this huge paranoia. He has since apologized for it and taken anger management classes, but the world has forgiven him and shown him how much good came out of all his bellowing. He has no powers apart from that. His real name is Leo Zannichi, and like Mozart, he began composing at a very early age; two to be precise.
*'''Tom the Patriotic Tiger''': Bengal tiger; Leo's tiger counterpart and fellow musician/composer. His real name is Tom Wilder.
*'''Leo the Super Patriotic Lion/Super Leo''': Lion; Leo the Patriotic Lion's counterpart that has superpowers (hence the nickname "Super Leo"). His powers include the full basic package and the ability to throw a "star-spangled blast" (red, white, and blue bars connected together with stars of the same colors mixed in). Anyone who gets hit by the blast gets knocked out and is left literally seeing stars in their eyes. His real name is Leo Crossfire, and he once was a U.S. Air Force airman (or airlion, as the case may be). He met his best friend and then-future tiger counterpart (Super Tom) when the two crashed in the same battlefield after being shot down. Both got their superpowers in that field. He currently keeps in shape as a professional bodybuilder, but by G-52 policy does not do the inappropriate side of it (such as modeling and competiting to show off muscles).
*'''Tom the Super Patriotic Tiger/Super Tom''': Bengal tiger; Tom the Patriotic Tiger's counterpart that has the same superpowers as Super Leo. He was a U.S. Navy fighter pilot. His real name is Tom Sanderson.
*'''BONECRUSHER (Crush)''': Lion; a super-buff lion that can lift 50,000 pounds with the greatest of ease, but works as a certified FIFA soccer referee. He became notable for his threats of giving hard red cards to soccer plays who lie intentionally in various ways; the most common is pretending to be injured so one side can stall for time. He says he doesn't have any powers, though one might argue that his super strength he worked so hard for can be counted as a superpower. His real name is Leo Fitzgerald, and he also takes pleasure in knowing every rule of every sport, board game, and card game by heart. As a result, he spent a few rainy days teaching Cripto how to play games such as backgammon, go, and euchre.
*'''Techno Tiger (T2)''': Bengal tiger; the G-52 technological expert and eternal optimist, known for his cocky cheerfulness and gravelly voice to go with it. He has been Crush's best friend since childhood. His patented inventions include the Hip Solution, a flavored water drink that provides immunity to hypnosis of sorts, and all sorts of crimefighting gadgets including special communicators the G-52s use to talk to one another. His only superpower is X-ray vision. His real name is Tom DeCarlo, and he presents his own internet video game show, the "G-52 Video Game Review" (although rotating with Crush, Cripto, and sometimes Leo the Patriotic Lion).
*'''The Avenger:''' Rat; a British superhero hailing from London, England, who was the first foreigner to become a G-52, and thus spark an international relationship between the two countries (United States and United Kingdom). His superpowers include the full basic package, as well as icy abilities allowing him to throw chilling cold iceballs and freeze all in his tracks. (This is due to him having a body temperature of absolute zero.) He also gained the ability to fluently speak every single language in the world, including ones that were thought to be extinct (such as Hellenic). His real name is Rat Sult, and he works as a business administrator for a bread company.
*'''Grease''': Brown cat; he speaks with a voice comparable to Clint Eastwood in the film Dirty Harry ("Go ahead, make my day!"). He was born in Poland but moved to America at age 5 1/2, and is the only other multilingual G-52, though he only speaks Polish and English. His superpowers include the basic full package, as well as the abilities to spew oil all over the place. His real name is Daniel Claxton, and he works as a mechanic at the shop he owns, "The Grease Pit."
*'''The Flaming Cheetah (F.C.)''': Cheetah; a supersonic speed demon who can run faster than the speed of sound (similar to the Flash and Sonic the Hedgehog). His real name is Chuck Carson, and he currently is unemployed; he tends to be a drifter and go from place to place.
*'''Firecat''': Wildcat; he shares the same fiery powers Super C has. His real name is Frank Stafford Geraldo, and, ironically, he serves as a firefighter.
*'''Icecat''': Wildcat; Firecat's brother. He shares the same icy powers as the Avenger. His real name is Ian Geraldo, and he is the founder of Metro Lion Appliances, an appliance chain that began locally owned and operated by the family, now expanding into a full nationwide chain.
*'''Super Slash''': Bengal tiger with black hair; he's also known as the "Tiger of Terror." He once served in the U.S. Army and is a prime example of a sufferer of PTSD (posttraumtic stress disorder). In spite of that, he's often hailed as the greatest soldier ever since Douglas MacArthur. He wields the basic full package of superpowers and a special power ring that can do a variety of tasks, depending on the situation. He's known for his growls and snarls, and for crouching and pouncing on the enemy. His real name is Mitch Brigannis.
*'''The Bionic Serval''': Serval; the first cyborg to serve in the G-52s. He has all the abilities of a typicl cyborg plus the basic full superhero package. His real name is Sandy Carvinson, and he is one of America's top professional soccer players. He has been Super Slash's best friend since childhood.
*'''Thunder Fox (T.F.)''': Fox; he served in the U.S. Coast Guard and later the U.S. Border Patrol. He has the full superhero package plus the ability to control weather to a certain point. His most common method is to throw lightning bolts at the enemy. His real name is Peter Ollendorf, and he currently works as a stock executive.
*'''Captain Cripton (Captain C, the Captain)''': Gray cat; often hailed as Super C's British counterpart in terms of his attitudes of patriotism. He lives in Leeds, Yorkshire County, in England. He has the same icy powers as the Avenger and Icecat, and is the second British G-52 to join. He often does his own "V for victory" in the style of Winston Churchill. His real name is Jack Denton, and the name was intentionally connected to the nickname for the flag of the UK (Union Jack). He works as a syndicated humor columnist for various British newspapers wishing to buy his articles.
*'''Firefox''': Fox; a fiercely patriotic Scotsman living in Glasgow. He shares the same fiery powers of Super C, and also wields a rocket launcher. His real name is Dennis Quaisley, and he works as a production assistant for STV. He is the third British G-52 to join.

*'''"Nickelback Nathan" Knox''': Wildcat; leader of the posse that bears his nickname, the Nickelbacks. They live in the Wild West-based town of Glenn View Springs, Arizona.

How 'bout y'all?" instead of "No rain is going to get at my crops. What about yours?" He runs a ranch full-time when not enforcing the law alongside the Sheriff.

His real name remains a mystery forever since Bully Dawggerson, the criminal-turned-crimefighter had served his sentence for murdering the Outlaw's parents and burning his birth certificate, all when the Outlaw was only two years old.

This was his only major crime; any subsequent crimes of his were considered minor ones, and his last stand as a criminal came when the Nickelbacks trapped him and his guns jammed. He wields two guns.
*'''Butch and Spike''': Bulldogs; two double-agents only pretending to be part of Bully's gang just to keep themselves alive. They each wield two guns.

His nickname came from a true story where he had actually killed a rival gangster holding a poker hand of two aces and two eights (known in poker as the "dead man's hand").
*'''Dead-Eye Dennis''': Coyote; Dan's cousin who took over for the gang and continued to lead raids until a horrific incident where he developed PTSD from suffering a broken nose and broken teeth during a gun raid; this raid ended the gang's status as a gang, and all members (including Dennis) went through healing and rehab, and subsequently became Coyote Rangers. Dennis led the gang during the massacre which spread rumors that only Jocko was the surviving tribeswolf of the Moon Dweller Tribe until otherwise proven that this was not the case. He carries two guns.
*'''Geoff the Generous''': White cat; a kind-hearted feline known for his generous giving of big money to certain chairites, and living otherwise like a normal middle-class being. He lives in Wildcat City's farming community that has a Wild West heritage, known as Horseshoeville, and while he carries two guns and a lariat, he rarely, if ever, finds use for them. He does more volunteer work than work he gets paid for, most of which comes from being a farmer. He wears normal cowboy garb, and his belt has a siver star inside a circle.
