Character

Personality: Leon is rather aggressive, this aggression means he can make rash decisions and say things he regrets later down the line. Under the aggression is a deep love for his old home England, especially his family.

The life that he has brings stress, Leon deals with that stress through smoking…a lot he almost always has a cigarette lit or in hand, and on the rare occasion a cigar or pipe. This leaves him with a constant ashy smell. This potentially puts off the people around him.

Leon is fairly intelligent though prefers not to use it much, if a problem arises that he cannot solve easily or break it then he doesn’t care, his mutation didn’t help to quell Leon’s aggression very much, after all it was just another thing to add to the failure that was his life. Although it does give him another outlet to vent his anger and in some cases protect himself.
Hobbies/ Interests: Leon is a vivid reader and will read anything from fantasy to politics, although he despises E-readers feeling that a book must remain paper. He also smokes rather a lot, although he has to be more careful now as England has different laws on smoking than New York does.
Job or part time job and description: high school
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Leon misses his old home and family, and as such is scared of losing his accent and ties to England; due to this he is very defensive of his accent.
Special talents: can make a mean brew (tea)

Morality

Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Leon is good at heart but can appear to be neutral, as he will strive to help those who have looked past the aggression and got to know the real Leon. However to everyone else he will keep up the aggressive barrier and help them less.

Mutations

Mutation description: mutation description: Leon’s mutation is the manipulation of ash, where the ash comes from is irrelevant. Leon can just as easily control ash from a erupting volcano as he can from a cigarette, once manipulated he can control the movement and density of the ash.
The main form of control comes from the shifting ash storms he can direct and manipulate, in their lightest form the storms can reach speeds of 15MPH. however as they are light these are mainly for suffocation or a cheap laugh.
The second form is when Leon adds half of the ashes density to the storm, shrinking it by a quarter in the process but this heavier storm can knock a man off his feet and move objects. While at this density the storms can only move at 8MPH half that of the lighter storm.

To keep the cloud at the same size more ash will need to be manipulated into the cloud. Condensing takes about 3 seconds per KG of ash.
The temperature of the ash does not affect his control, but he cannot change the temperature himself.

Leon’s body also can inhale ash, which is then stored inside his body and can be exhaled and manipulated. Due to this build up of ash Leon has a permanent cough.
Strengths: the ash can act as a weapon, and a defence. With obvious health implications to breathing in ash. These do not apply to Leon whose body has mutated to be immune to the health risks of ash; as a result he cannot get cancer from smoking.

Weaknesses and Limitations:
The limit that Leon can control at any given time is roughly 9kg (20lb) this is a absolute maximum and with increase of ash controlled comes a nasty side effect.
at 3kg(6.6lb) Leon’s body begins to heat up, at this stage it is the same as being in a hot room and will not do more than annoy him.
at 6KG(13.2) the effect is similar to being in a sauna, sweat covers his body and breathing starts to become more difficult.
at 9KG(10lb) the effect causes his body to start evaporating the sweat at such a rate that the steam is visible, at this stage Leon will not be able to move without excruciating pain and any outside sources of water will be evaporated by his touch.

With repeated use of his mutation Leon will feel faint and nonstop use of 20 minutes or more will make him pass out. Upon passing out Leon will need to rest for 12 hours to recover completely.

Both of these side effects carry over to the next use of his mutation, unless Leon has been able to cool down (forcibly or naturally) and had a rest, between 1-2 hours to use again without any side effects from a previous use.

His range for controlling the ash is about 10 meters (32 feet) with his control becoming more unstable as he passes the 8 meter (26 feet) mark.

He will also be forced periodically (once or twice a week depending on the conditions) to empty his reserves. Where he does this is not relevant just that it is out of his system. If this is not done then Leon will start to feel the weight of the ash inside him. The amount that Leon can hold is roughly 500g or 1.1lb any over this amount and Leon will vomit the ash out of his body.

Physical Abilities

General Physical Capabilities: physical stamina and strength are not the strongest points of Leon who would rather read a good book than get into a fist fight. Although he has decent reflexes and perceptions.

History Of Your Character
Leon had lead a fairly normal life for the first 17 years of his life, well as normal as a high class Londoner could get. From early life he was expected to deliver great things, if he could not deliver then he had it beaten into him that he could, this regime of learning right from wrong and turning him into an upperclassman went on for the first 13 years of his life.

That’s when he entered into Eton suddenly all of this pain and education became worth it, and to top it off he got to stay away from his parents. He couldn’t wait to go. Until he saw the sort of boys that didn’t go to Eton didn’t get a decent education and weren’t looked after properly, from his window at Eton Leon watched the gangs and grew to become scared of them. The way they lurked around the school grounds waiting for one student to step outside.

He had seen what happened to the ones that left the grounds, how they came back covered in bruises and cuts, their clothes torn and hair messed. More often than not missing some possession of theirs.

After watching the gangs around the grounds for two years Leon finally decided to make a stand and protect that which he was taught to love. So little after his 15th birthday he went out to meet the gangs head on. It was fair to say the fight lasted roughly 2 seconds, as one of the gang members punched Leon in the face and floored him instantly. However he noticed something as he was sitting on the floor that he had never seen before, it was small round and smoke was coming off the end as the one who punched him sucked on it. more curious was the substance that broke off and hit the ground, the way it scattered in the wind still glowing from the heat.

instinctively Leon spread out his palm and realised with shock that where was small coils of flame going around his body, although it didn’t seem to hurt if anything it took the edge off the cold night air. Suddenly the ashes of the cigarettes around the group gathered in his outstretched palm forming a small orb floating just above the skin.

Leon looked to the gang but they were gone, just the items they took from previous students remained, so Leon gathered them up and returned to his room. For two years after this incident the gangs stayed clear of the school, once or twice Leon heard rumours of a mutant in Eton which he knew to be true. And he was happy slowly learning to use his mutation through trial and error, mostly error. On his 17th birthday he got a letter from his parents who he had written two a week earlier, explaining that he was a mutant… also apologising that he had become addicted to smoking, the letter simply said that he was being sent to America to a new school for people like him.

Sample RP:

Leon sighed. Airports where such noisy places with people running around franticly looking for god knows what, but he didn’t care about that, the bit that was really annoying Leon was the no smoking signs plastered all over the walls.

*beep beep* rang the familiar tone that preceded a boarding announcement. “All passengers boarding flight 396 to New York City America please report to gate number 45.” Echoed through the airport. Great thought Leon guess that’s my cue to get out of the country. As he shouldered his bag and made his way with the rest of the passengers on their way to the USA.

on his way he noticed a duty free store, it suddenly occurred to him “does the us have different laws on smoking? Better stock up to be sure” muttering more to himself than anyone else. He entered the store and bought two packs of 100 cigarettes. The money was meant to be for food and water, but he already had that and cigarettes meant ash, to him ash was protection. In the large unknown world that was America protection was necessary. So he slipped them into his bag and made way to board his plane.

Once settled on the plane he started to think ahead to his new life, what would it be like, will I change, and will it be forever. All these questions rising as he took a long last look at the place he once called home. Although he had no answers to those questions now he promised himself that he would never forget his family and true home.
