Role Information
In Ashbrook, Ledo will be told that he is a top student at Wilton High School. He is regarded as an uptight, laser-focused academic, and is thus relentlessly mocked by losers like Ricky Mallory. He's a JROTC kid and has been praised by Sheriff Henry Lot as a promising young man. He lives with a foster family and has spent most of his life in Ashbrook.
It's up to you to decide the details: what's his relationship with his foster family like? What branch of JROTC does he belong to and how did he join? Please feel free to use our OOC Introductions Post or event plotting to invite AU backstory links with other characters in the game.
You requested bonus details! You can include some, all, or none of these when fleshing out Ledo's backstory, skills, and relationships with PCs and NPCs.
• Ledo is the most intolerable hall monitor ever to grace the halls of the school.
• He's captain of the Mathletes and places well in competitions.
• He sometimes volunteers for rescue efforts in the woods and on the ski slopes. Ranger Ortega thinks he’s a good, if high-strung, kid.
• Lily Wagner, the nice lady at the community center, seems intent on getting this kid to show an emotion or make a friend. She'll gladly shove him into group activities for his own good.
• His foster family is an older couple who intend to adopt him, they live in a comfortable little place in the suburbs.

Personality
- Ledo comes from an ultra-specialised militaristic society that exists for the singular purpose of combating the threat of the Hideauze.
- He has been trained for combat and nothing else. His knowledge is limited due to having lived his entire life in space, so almost everything perceived as normal to anyone who has lived on a planet is strange and new to him. When he tries to do non-combat tasks he tends to be terrible at them and he doesn't have much of an imagination at all either.
- As soldiers are not permitted to have personal possessions during military service and there is no concept of currency in space, Ledo never seeks out more for himself than what is strictly necessary for survival and he never considers an alternative unless someone insists on showing him.
- Ledo has no expectation of an end to his personal responsibility as a soldier. He believes firmly that his sole purpose for even existing is to fight and kill more Hideauze, as he has always been taught. To tire of fighting or become too weak to fight, the only recourse is death.
- Ledo has been taught according to the Galactic Alliance's philosophy, which does not have a moral code other than to eliminate the enemy.
- In speaking, "Hideauze" and "enemy" are used very interchangeably, suggesting that there is little separation conceptually. Unless otherwise directed not to and given an explanation, he will regard anything designated as an enemy with the same cold logic as he does the Hideauze and eradicate the threat without hesitation. In his own words: “Does eliminating the enemy necessitate a reason?”
- He struggles to understand lesser conflicts and views them as petty and unproductive.
- Ledo has been conditioned to feel nothing and have no personal opinion even about beliefs and practises that might be considered cruel to others. If the Galactic Alliance says it's correct, he accepts it even if he doesn't understand it.
- He will definitely have opinions about what other people do and make comparisons to what the Alliance considers to be proper conduct. He will bluntly call out disorganisation or inefficiency.
- Ledo is constantly dealing with new information and beliefs that conflict with what he knows. He has a tendency to deny or dismiss things in the moment even as he's actively experiencing them, like saying "No way!" to being told he's on a planet with a breathable atmosphere even though he's standing outside, breathing the air.
- Despite the discrepancies and his own confusion, Ledo continues to seek out more information and is willing to engage in discussion when others challenge him on things.
- If challenged directly on the topic of the Hideauze and his need to combat them, he may choose to stubbornly stick to his side and refuse to accept any disagreement.
- He is a lot more sentimental than he realises thanks to having memories that he has been conditioned to repress. He claims to have thrown away everything he doesn't need to shape himself into the perfect soldier but spends his free time carving shed Hideauze nails into ocarinas with his laser pistol, a practise he picked up from someone in his past he's forgotten. He doesn't actually know that what he's making and doesn't even understand why he does it in the first place but is willing to accept it because it serves as a meditation and so is justified.
- Ledo has also been conditioned to have an extremely limited emotional range, perhaps because biometric readings are constantly being recorded and analysed by AIs like Chamber, so there is no need to react when a change in heart rate or brain waves will provide a clear answer.
- He tries to remain calm and logical as often as possible, but will react with genuine feeling when things catch him off-guard.
- Some emotional responses such as crying are completely foreign to him altogether.

- Warfare or Death:

- Black and White Logic:
- Ledo has been taught according to the Galactic Alliance's philosophy, which does not have a moral code other than to eliminate the enemy.
- In speaking, "Hideauze" and "enemy" are used very interchangeably, suggesting that there is little separation conceptually. Unless otherwise directed not to and given an explanation, he will regard anything designated as an enemy with the same cold logic as he does the Hideauze and eradicate the threat without hesitation.

- He will definitely have opinions about what other people do and make comparisons to what the Alliance considers to be proper conduct. He will bluntly call out disorganisation or inefficiency.
- Cognitive Dissonance:
- Ledo is constantly dealing with new information and beliefs that conflict with what he knows. He has a tendency to deny or dismiss things in the moment even as he's actively experiencing them, like saying "No way!" to being told he's on a planet with a breathable atmosphere even though he's standing outside, breathing the air.

- If challenged directly on the topic of the Hideauze and his need to combat them, he may choose to stubbornly stick to his side and refuse to accept any disagreement.
- Sentimentality:
- A lot more than he realises thanks to having memories that he has been conditioned to repress. He claims to have thrown away everything he doesn't need to shape himself into the perfect soldier but spends his free time carving shed Hideauze nails into ocarinas with his laser pistol, a practise he picked up from someone in his past he's forgotten. He doesn't actually know that what he's making and doesn't even understand why he does it in the first place but is willing to accept it because it serves as a meditation and so is justified.
- Emotional Detachment:
- Ledo has also been conditioned to have an extremely limited emotional range, perhaps because biometric readings are constantly being recorded and analysed by AIs like Chamber, so there is no need to react when a change in heart rate or brain waves will provide a clear answer.
- He tries to remain calm and logical as often as possible, but will react with genuine feeling when things catch him off-guard.
- Some emotional responses such as crying are completely foreign to him altogether.
- Ledo has no supernatural abilities.
- He has been trained as a soldier since he was born, so in this area of his skill set he is exceptional if only because of the sheer amount of time devoted to it. He has been trained in the following:
- hand-to-hand combat
- weapons skills
- zero-g combat and survival
- piloting skills
- reconnaissance
- computer technology and information systems
- This also means he's absolutely disastrous when it comes to just about anything else because his combat prowess comes at the expense of every other area.
- He is in peak physical condition as is required for combat readiness, as even as a pilot he must be prepared for the possibility that he will have to fight on his own.
- Since Ledo is a smaller person he isn't built for strength but he makes up for it in speed and agility. He also has a great sense of balance and seemingly not much of a fear of heights.
- his space suit + helmet (which is detachable)
- his sidearm — an adjustable setting laser pistol that also has a knife tool option
- two (2) Hideauze nails
- Chamber's portable module

« CHARACTER INFORMATION »
Character: Ledo
Canon: Suisei no Gargantia
Canon point: After falling through the wormhole
OU or AU?: OU
Age: 17
Species: Human
« RECORD »
Disposition:
Suitability: Ledo's canon is a fish out of water story that revolves around his experiences living in and adapting to a world that is completely strange and getting to know people with very different beliefs, so there will just be more to see and learn about in Noctium! He will probably struggle with understanding the mechanics and potentially doubt what he's told about the necessity of it all, but sometimes he has to learn lessons the hard way. He desires to connect with other people and learn how to live, even if he has no idea that's what he wants, so at least all the struggle will pay off someday?
Condition upon arrival: Ledo will arrive healthy and in good condition. The last thing he will recall is falling through the wormhole before waking up in Noctium. He will be confused and somewhat distressed to find himself in a strange world alone, since he was in space inside the cockpit of his Machine Calibre at the time. He is also fairly reliant on Chamber's analysis and advice, so it will be additionally disorienting to lack his AI support. Ledo will ask a lot of questions to whoever will be willing to answer them, particularly about how he can return to his own world (and then probably pout when they tell him he can't).
Abilities:
Inventory:
Gembond: Ruby
Gem Location: in the centre of his chest where there is already a very noticeable gem-shaped object that is a part of his space suit.

Here's where you can leave comments, thoughts, and concerns about how I'm doing playing Ledo!
If you could link to specific examples of what you're referring to when you comment (and also which game in question, since this post will likely serve the same purpose for multiple games), that would be really appreciated and help me understand more clearly what I need to work on. Thanks~!
