Powers
Unlike the rest of his family, Leon was not gifted powers by the Lazarus Pit. Instead, he was given a long life at the cost of being permanently crippled his bone structure crumbling. Rather than face death, however, he sought his enhancements through cybernetic implants, which have re-built him to have physical attributes far beyond even Olympic athletes. Able to lift cars, run over 35 miles per hour, leap small buildings, and dodge bullets with relative ease, he has become a new man via robotics, though his bitterness remains. His general attitude towards the world is bleak, as he had to create his own artificial life after the world had tried to take his form him. Having concluded that life is random and cruel with no prejudice, he has taken up mercenary work, eliminating evil for free, and otherwise for a price.
Gear
Exo-Suit: Leon wears a strengthened titanium-alloy exo-skeleton on his back which is implanted into his spine, linking with his nervous system and allowing him to move it as if it were a part of his organic body. This exo-suit provides him with even greater enhanced physicals than what he was granted by his exposure to the Lazarus Pit, allowing him superhuman feats of strength, speed, and agility unmatched by even the greatest of humans. This exo-skeleton has built-in med-injectors, which give Leon varying doses of painkillers upon detecting an injury. The suit also contains thrusters in the legs and arms, which allows for a rocket-propelled strike, or a quick getaway. These thrusters can only be used for seconds at a time, however, simply providing a quick boost. This exo-suit also has built-in grenade launchers on the forearms, activated via neural command, as with the other functions on the suit. These grenades can be selected via a neural interface menu, and can vary between simply frag, tracker, cluster, clincher (a plastic explosive mounted on a metal claw which clamps down upon contact with another surface), harpoon (with retractable wire attached), and homing.
Armor: Below his exo-suit, Leon makes heavy use of Kevlar armors on his chest, upper arms, forearms, and legs, the joints being covered by light but effective elbow and knee guards, integrated into the exo-suit, with titanium-alloy blades extendable and retractable upon neural command.
Sword: A favorite weapon of Leon's. He possesses a modernized katana, being informal and shape and design. It is a straight-edged titanium-alloy blade, with electro-shock capabilities and small pistols built into the sides of the blade. Leon never leaves home without his sword.
Munitions: Leon is known to carry a variety of different weapons, depending on the job. This includes Assault Rifles (with ammo selectors, able to choose between airburst, tracker, heavy explosive, armor piercing, and EMP), Pistols, Rocket Launchers (With the same ammo-types as his forearm-mounted launchers, but with greater power and range), and hand-held grenades of the same variety as his wrist-launchers, which can be used to re-load said launchers, or as a separate weapon.
