☆Personality☆
General Personality: Leon is a rather enigmatic figure. The first impression he tends to give is simply: disengaged. He has been criticized often by authority figures for showing no passion or enthusiasm for anything, seeming to just go through the motions of all he is involved with. This is partially an act (He still Burns). Since the beginning, He has been characterized by His pride, anger, and conviction in all He has wrought. However, in becoming what he is now, prior certainty has been replaced with murky ambivalence (and indeed, it has been like this for a while). He recognizes the chance He has been given, yet still resents it. Hence, he hides. Coupled with a rather low empathy, this furthers the disconnect between him and his peers.
That isn’t to say he’s bad with people. Leon is very gifted at reading people and hence, manipulating them. And while he rarely actually lies (a habit from speaking in the Speech, where every word can rewrite reality), that doesn’t mean he can’t manipulate with the truth or make one believe a lie is true. He is also a rather good actor capable of slipping from role to role.
Disrespect is something he does not take likely. He absolutely hates being made fun of or pitied, especially if he feels he’s at a disadvantage in some way. His pride means he holds grudges and that he can be very stubborn at certain points. He can also be very blunt and tends not to care about a person’s feelings it gets in the way of his goals.
Still, he is here to fight what he has created, so he tries not to be needlessly cruel. And as hard as it can be, he is doing his best to learn compassion and kindness (as well as to accept it. Part of him feels like he doesn’t deserve to be saved, and as much as he hides it, he feels guilty for what he’s done.) After all, there are many ways to further entropy. He would know.

☆Power/Abilities☆
Powers and Abilities: Power 1: Language of Creation
Leon is capable of utilizing the language that brought the Worlds and its various Laws into being. It is a universal and innate language that can be understood by all, with others experiencing it in their native language, but more. With this, they can speak to anything, even objects seen as traditionally non sentient. It also allows him to attempt to persuade said objects. A prime example of this is cajoling a locked door to unlock itself. This is just the language though. Once it becomes more structured, that’s where his spells come from. With the right combination of ‘words’, they can accomplish anything from solidifying the air in front of them, creating constructs, to forcing a section of space out of sync with the rest of time in as efficient of a manner as the task can possibly be done.
Indeed, they are by nature highly connected to magic in its myraid forms. They can sense it and are able to see the very mesh of it, and depending on the form, can even copy it [PC Permission].
Power 2: Higher Consciousness
Being the avatar of a being that exists outside of time and space, their mind is capable of a lot more than most humans are. Their processing speeds are blindingly fast, they are capable of holding multiple trains of thought, and their memory is second to none. They also have an innate comprehension of how things work and are able to pick up patterns and logic in a snap. Due to their nature, they are very resistant to attacks on the mind, and indeed can even overwhelm the other.
Capabilities of the mind aside, they hold a vast knowledge of the various realities, and are able to identify most species and beings.
Weaknesses: Weakness 1: When Speaking, every word must be carefully chosen, as a single mistake could alter the fabric of reality in a detrimental way. There is also the fact that just because one can speak to something, it doesn’t mean that something must agree.
With the more structured spells, as theoretically limitless as this could be, it also really… isn’t. Spells also take time and preparation. Sometimes, a lot, depending on the effects and scale of what is being accomplished. Each spell also requires energy, with the bigger the effect, the more energy needed. Said forcing a section out of sync would no doubt kill Leon to accomplish in their current state. So, almost like writing a computer program, they must use existing laws and structures in order to accomplish something (though some bending can still occur).
While they can just say, expell a blast of energy, its inefficient and tires them out much faster than necessary.
Weakness 3: They’re human. A regular squishy human in the end. Shoot them, stab them, break their neck, etc. They’re going to die. At least this iteration will.
Weakness 4: They hold a general apathy towards the singular human so to speak, and despite being placed on earth to help defend humanity, they always have the greater good in mind. Basically, they’re not going to make big, flashy shows of power unless absolutely necessary. Especially not to save a single person (or even a single city). In fact, they’d prefer to stay backstage for the rest of their current iteration.
Weakness 5: There are people they hold dear in this world including their parents and some friends. These people can become leverage (with ease depending on who you pick).
Skills and Talents: Sword fighting, general art skills, true polyglot, eidetic memory, programming, dancing, makeup
Equipment: Sword – A divine sword forged from the heart of a star by one quite like Leon. Capable of harming even a God. It is in the form of an arming sword. Attached to it is also a limiter that helps control the flow of magic going through their body at any one time (with the added bonus of hiding the true extent of their presence) . Unsheathing the sword + saying a Word releases the limiter, temporarily [2 posts] giving them full access to their energy and allowing them to accomplish usually dangerous feats of magic. Afterwards though, as their body has been pushed to the brink, they are basically incapacitated and may even pass out. There is also the fact that despite its capabilities, it’s still just a sword that requires skill to wield.
Cuff – While it looks like a gold and jeweled cuff, it is actually a complex knit of magic that allows the storage and fast activation of spells. If it is removed, then they lose access to their fast access spells.
Trenchcoat – Various spells have been placed on it that help protect them from damage, high temperatures, etc. It’s mostly meant for environmental hazards, so extremes will break through the defenses.
Manual – Takes the form of a small paperback book. It’s generally in their back pocket. Inside is listed all the spells they, and others with enacture, have created, as well as the knowledge of multiple species across multiple ages and universes. But hey, it’s a book. People can take it, Leon can lose/forget it, etc. Granted there is a tracking spell on it and it’s basically indestructible. But it’s a book. Everything is written in the script form of the Language.
Rowan Wand – A peeled stick of Rowan that has been soaked in moonlight. Willingly given. Produces a whip of magic. Still, it’s a stick of wood. This is most effective against those with supernatural origins. The energy is cooling. It also isn’t limitless. Once it runs out, it’s out.
Metal Wand – Made of noon forged steal. Willingly given by an old radio. Shoots bolts of magic. A bit more effective against normal people since the bolts are very hot. Once again though, it’s a stick of malleable metal in the end. The energy also isn’t limitless. Once it runs out, it’s out.
☆History☆
Current residence: NYC - Harlem
Birthplace: NYC
Memorable Figures: Coraline Li
General History: The story of Leon technically starts in the very beginning, and it’s one that has been told from culture to culture. Fairest and brightest. Rebellion. The fall. Except in many ways, They are the original, the inspiration of them all.
Leon’s story also starts in Bellevue hospital, where they were born with barely a cry, eyes opening moments later to reveal a bright amber that were much too lucid for a newborn. Still, they were much loved and grew up with a relatively normal life, if not for the fact that their family was heavily entrenched in organized crime. It was an uneasy position for the parents while Leon reveled in it.
This all changed when their older brother was murdered, as that was the catalyst for the patriarch of the Trabocchi family to betray the whole organization, becoming whistle blowers and bringing a large portion of the NY mob down with them. So, at 9 years old, Leon was whisked away from everything they knew and loved. They spent the next few years of their lives shifting from place to place in the witness protection program, finally settling down in small town Utah one the danger of being assassinated was deemed lessened.
They never quite fit in, with an innate cruelty and pride that was hard to hide. Their misbehavior and lack of discretion of their past almost forced the family to move once more. Right before the last resort came to being though, it all just… stopped. Their son seemed to have changed on a fundamental level, and in a way, they had. Through what could only be described as an ordeal, they regained their memories.
On the surface, everything was normal now. Leon became more involved in class and socializing with their peers. Their grades went up, their behavior problems disappeared. All the hallmarks of a now normal and healthy child. Unknowing to just about everyone else though, they had begun to spread their influence, touching base with allies and gathering information on anything that may threaten the delicate balance on not just Earth, but the whole entire universe(s).
In present times, they keep up the façade of being a normal young adult graduate, working an entry level job at a nonprofit. On the down low though, they’ve become known as an information broker in the world of the supernatural/occult. One who no one has ever met in person, or so they think. Dealing in favors and information, they keep an ear to the ground, nudging events around as necessary. Anything to ensure to protection and continuation of Life.
