Leo Valdez

==Summary==
Leonidas "Leo" Valdez is a demigod son of Hephaestus, the Greek god of blacksmithing, and one of the seven demigods destined to save the world from Gaea. Cheerful, wisecracking, and handy with a hammer, his talents prove invaluable to his fellows in their quest. But his smiling veneer hides a great deal of insecurity and inner turmoil, a side of himself that he'd rather not reveal to his peers.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , higher with preparation time
Name: Leonidas "Leo" Valdez
Origin: Riordanverse
Gender: Male
Age: 16-17
Classification: Demigod Son of Hephaestus, Camp-Half Blood Resident, Member of The Seven
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Genius Intelligence, Martial Arts, Weapon Mastery, Fire Manipulation, Enhanced Senses (Can detect and locate sources of heat and flame), Technology Manipulation (Naturally gifted in interacting and manipulating machinery, can detect the presence and inner workings of machines, and has an innate understanding what machines are doing, communicating with them to an extent), Dimensional Storage (Can pull a virtually endless supply of items from his toolbelt), Limited Resurrection (Via the Physician's Cure), Resistance to Fire Manipulation, and has Magic Resistance (Demigods are inherently resistant to magic, another, albeit superior Demigod, Percy, was once described as confusing magic.)
Attack Potency: City level (Was able to defeat Khione, a minor goddess by countering her snow with his fire, should be comparable to his fellow demigods who have fought members of the Titans and Giants), higher with preparation time (Together with Octavian's onager, his total firepower was able to kill himself, Octavian, and also scattered a weakened Gaia)
Speed: High Hypersonic+ (Managed to counter nearly all of Khione's attacks despite her status as a goddess, but she was able to take him by surprise later on. Faster than most demigods, due to being more ADHD, even for a demigod. Dodged projectiles from the Cyclopes and rocks from Gaea. Managed to get off a helicopter in time)
Lifting Strength: Class T (Comparable to the likes of Annabeth Chase)
Striking Strength: City level (Although he is the physically weakest of the male Seven, he should still be comparable to the likes of Annabeth Chase, who fought both Titans and Giants)
Durability: City level (Was able to resist Khione's ice powers with his ability to control fire and should be comparable to his fellow demigods, but was killed in his plan to kill Gaea by overloading the Argo II's engine that scattered Gaea's essence so badly that her consciousness would never reform)
Stamina: Superhuman (Has passed many nights awake even after being chased by monsters, he's very ADHD even for a demigod)
Range: Extended melee range normally, Hundred of meters with his powers
Standard Equipment: His Magical Toolbelt, his 3-Pound Club Hammer
*Optional Equipment: His bronze dragon Festus, the Physician's Cure
Intelligence: As a son of Hephaestus, Leo is a naturally talented mechanic and engineer with an innate understanding of machinery, being able to easily rewire megaphones, pilot a helicopter without any training, and repaired Festus the Bronze Dragon, a feat thought to be impossible by his similarly gifted half-siblings. He is also an excellent critical thinker, having used his technical abilities to get his fellow demigods out of numerous predicaments. He is also skilled enough in melee combat to fight smaller monsters, but is not as gifted in this area as his fellow demigods
Weaknesses: If he gets excited or scared, he may accidentally start burning things around him. Overuse of his fire abilities will render him unconscious. If he retrieves a large and complex object or things that don't apply to mechanics from his toolbelt, it will require a cooldown period
Notable Attacks and Techniques:
*Hephaestus' Fire: Leo is the first demigod in hundreds of years to have obtained the ability to create and control fire as his father does. As a result, he can generate white-hot flames that can burn through chain metal links as well as fling fireballs that create explosions on impact and counter the abilities of a minor goddess. He has also shown the ability to create walls of fire to keep enemies at bay as well as manipulate the temperature of his flames. In addition, this ability grants him a significant amount of resistance to flame, being completely comfortable after being nestled in a fireplace as an infant and feel nothing but minor stinging after being exposed to Festus' fire breath. However, this resistance has its limits, and he was killed after overloading the Argo II's reactor to destroy Gaea's physical form.
