'''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.

== 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.

*'''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.
*'''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.

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.
