Mindset
Personality: Have you ever met that man who can’t say “good morning” to you without you feeling like he’s lied to you twice? Then you’ve met Leon. A dashing, rogue-like persona (his words) wrapped up in a handsome, Latino package (Also his words). He acts big, he talks big, and he believes every goddamn shred of it himself, even the parts about himself he’s lied about.
Various facets of his professional facade have been altered if not fabricated entirely, he claims to be from Miami (Born and raised in Detroit), he utilizes just enough Spanish to make white people think he’s cultured, he claims his last name is because his ancestry paints him as being descended from the famed pirate Benito de Soto (His actual last name is Garcia, he has no clue if they have any ties with any pirates), and he claims to have captured the hearts of hundreds of women (70 women tops, he does have a way of getting them into bed).
Growing up small, Leon was the target of bullying. Not wanting to see his son be a victim, his father enrolled him into Kyokushin Karate, and later Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as the sport of MMA popularized it in the late 90’s, as Leon’s skill grew, so did his confidence, he found himself less needing to fight and more seeking attention. He might have been small and diminutive, but if he couldn’t be the biggest guy in the room, he’d have the biggest stories. This is how his personality has developed, as well as his propensity for lies, and his desperate charm that’s seen him out of trouble more often than not.
Strengths:
Athleticism - Leoncio is a natural athlete, he’s fast, agile, and smooth.
Grappling - Though it’s often hard to take him seriously because of his cavalier attitude, de Soto is a beast on the ground, his studying in BJJ from a young age is also amplified by the bits he’s picked up from being on the wrestling team in high school and what he’s picked up from others as a pro-wrestler.
Evolving - His habit of always wanting to stand out and be noticed has led him to having a habit of trying to either innovate, or lift bits-and-pieces from other pro-wrestlers he sees and faces. It makes it difficult for an opponent to plan for when he’s often adding or attempting moves they’ve never seen him utilize before.
Weaknesses:
Small - In his mind his greatest weakness - and the biggest sore spot to his pride - Leon does not cut an imposing figure. He will often be overpowered and thrown about the ring, often also getting beaten by more experienced strikers with a reach advantage as well.
Target - Leon is generally a likeable guy that most people know not to take seriously when he’s making boasts or claims, but his extroverted demeanor - and constant need to hog the limelight - often paints a pretty big target on his back. Multi-man matches and tags will frequently see him get stomped by a large group of offenders.
Into the Fire - Leoncio is no stranger to fear, but is often lacking common sense. He’s been known to bite off far more than he can chew and not realize his folly until it’s too late.
Match Tendencies: Leoncio likes to set the pace, prove that he’s better in every way than his opponent, but if his opponent is better in the initial move-for-move rush, he’ll fall back into grappling and start to wear the opponent down. If he comes out on top? Expect showboating.
… he also has an odd habit of treating people that are the same size or smaller than him more seriously from the outset of the match.
Backstage Tendencies: Leon is outgoing, even if he doesn’t know the individual - or just simply SHOULDN’T know the individual - he will introduce himself. He DOES have a habit of acting flirtatious with any attractive woman he sees, but keeps it merely playful unless the woman in question seems interested.
Ring Attire: Black or red long leather tights, black knee pads, kick pads and wrestling boots. Tapes his wrists up. Also wears a leather eye-patch and a flowing, furry vest during his entrances.
