General Information
Name: Leon Dominic Chambers (jr)
Age: 29
Date of Birth: 1998
Place of Birth: Sex: Male
Status: Lieutenant of the Golden Banner
Literacy: With Leon having the gift of high status he has been able to overcome the hardships of the wasteland and gained a great amount of literacy in standard American English. He is known to be reading quite often (whenever he is not having a good time somewhere) about fantastic stories of past legends.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Inherited Powers: Space-Time Manipulation (XY) Leon is known within the golden banner for his mastery over the space-time continuum. This power allows him domination over the flow of time within our universal space. Through the manipulation of the continuum Leon can do a variety of things within the limited space of his choice; including the acceleration and repression of time flow. In order to maintain a balance within his power Leon uses a technique of limited off certain sects of space to distort so that the concentration of his power is significantly less.
With his powers over the acceleration of time Leon can manipulate actions within a set field to take place at a rate determined by him. Like all of his time-oriented abilities the flow of time has absolutely no effect upon him, leaving him to even have doubts of a relevance within time, and thus he cannot accelerate his own actions. By limiting space around an individual or group of individuals he can accelerate their movements instead. Through this he can make people move faster, hit harder, and can even cause wounds to heal faster if the fields are correct for such biological acceleration. Not all things are positive in this light, however, as all things within a field are accelerated. While one may be able to move faster if they are not used to such settings upon their body then the hastened reactions and mental processes will throw off their entire performance. It is the double-edged potential of Leon’s time manipulation.
Repression works in the same manner but only with an opposite approach. By setting the field around an opponent Leon can slow down all actions within that field, limiting the speed of an opponent. Approached with the idea of a stasis trap Leon has mastered this potential in particular in quickly disarming opponents by removing their element of speed entirely. All things such as reactions are slowed dramatically, but at the same time so are wounds. Assaulting an opponent within this field will prove effects to take much longer than usual (depending on the severity of the repression) and thus there may appear to be no damage when in reality its only suppressed. Leon can currently slow down a limited space’s time flow to an almost stopping point, but it is impossible for him to completely negate the flow of time as all things must move foreword.
A factor of his power that many look over is the space component. While he is common to use time manipulation he is even more common to manipulating the threads of reality and the space within. By understanding that all space is one model Leon has mastered the ability to move through space without trouble at his own pace. This ability grants him a very quick and nearly limitless level of teleportation; a power that the golden banner is all too familiar with. The one thing a person will never see is Leon running from place to place. If the collected lieutenant is not walking then he is moving through the fabrics of space with a different style.
Another strength of this power is to manipulate space and objects within that space. It is believed that it is nearly impossible to land a hit upon Leon because he can simply manipulation the fabric of space and turn the attack elsewhere. Such as a knife coming for his heart or a bullet for his head. Every movement within his power is incredibly subtle as there is no flash. For one moment a projectile will be going his heart and the next it is in the assailants instead.
Accelerated Probability (Z) By those who have no understanding of the potential of this power it is considered to be relatively weak; and in respect they are correct. It is not very flashy and is not a skill that could instantly turn the tide of battle. Alone it too only possesses minimal usage, but for a combatant such as Leon it is not only vital, but the foundation of his entire style.
Life is made up of continuous gambling. Every decision is surrounded by probabilities and consequences. Many try to beat the system but using certain methods to determine, narrow, and enhance probabilities in their favor. The power of accelerated probability allows Leon to see the outcome of an action before it is actually made at his will. It is believed that any movement Leon makes he is one-hundred percent certain will be in his favor, and any that are not will never be made. This certainty is what makes the man such a deadly opponent.
Coupled with his power of the space-time continuum Leon has made himself into a very fluid fighter. Since his powers tend to be exhausting the man can tell if placing a certain field around an opponent is successful or even necessary by seeing a limited outcome of the events. It is also because of this that his powers make him an extremely quick fighter as he knows not only which attack to make (such as a punch of kick), but where he should place them and at what time.
Leon has developed his power to overcome the restrictions of only being able to perceive the course of his actions. By mixing this with his power over the space-time continuum he can see events within the limited area of his choosing. If an attack is made against him he could see what a certain maneuver for dodging said attack would lead towards. Or perhaps in a supportive sense Leon could see the outcome of an ally’s proposed assault.
Like his more well-known power the accelerated probabilities can be hard upon his sensory organs; namely his sight. In order to see the events Leon can simply use the outcome as a feeling, but this tends to be much more unreliable. For more definite conclusions the outcomes can be portrayed as quick visual flashes to show every detail of the consequence. While this is incredibly useful in a theoretical sense it tends to cause Leon’s mind to jumble up with messages and become stressed if overused. This is especially true whenever he uses the coupled effect with the space-time potential to create a deadly field of absolute certainty against his opponent. Though he has gotten used to the effects they can still be quite exhausting.
Acquired Powers: None
Physical Description
Height: 6’1
Weight: 168lbs
Build: Very lean muscle, but incredibly healthy
Physical Appearance: Two words that are normally used to describe Leon are clean and charming. Though he is quite apathetic about many things, tending to a good appearance is one thing that he does not half-ass by any means. Since charm is a powerful asset for Leon his appearance is something that must always reflect that image, leaving him as a slick individual that carries grace not only in his strides but in his form.
To many Leon comes across with the appearance of a gentle frame. Lean muscle is stretched tightly across his body with specialized training to keep the muscle strong and healthy in appearance. Due to this training it is hard to find an ounce of fat along his tightly sculpted body, for Leon finds it quite important that he remains as charming and handsome along his own body as he does in face and mind. Though his frame does not stand too powerful with shoulders jutting out narrowly he composes himself with a thin and intellectual figure representing a persona of speed and reflexes more so than strength. With the honing of his own body he has developed limbs of very flexible and durable muscle that at first sight appear to be quite upwelling, but the subtly of his modest body proves to be at best with his quick blows.
In a day and age such as his it is hard to find many people that remain very hygienic, but luckily for many members of the hegemons this is much more common. Leon’s skin is too healthy with a light tan breathing life into the pigments of his skin for a faint glow adding to his frame. Due to regular means of bathing his skin tends to be absent of many forms of dirt and other disturbing particles that many stragglers carry with them as if they were a part of their skin. Another fascinating feature is the man’s lack of scars. Though many do not believe the boasts of Leon’s prowess his body is a book that almost seems blank of history. Instead of ragged and weary skin marked with the tales of old battles Leon seems to carry a smooth cover that reflects a shining tone of peace.
Though barbers are not around like they used to be Leon manages to keep his ebony locks in shape with his hair neatly cropped on top of his head. As unprofessional as his appearance may be with his hair due to a lack of stylists he still manages to keep away the distraught look of a straggler. A man of such charm deserves a face equal, and to his own luck he has an appearance about him that is modest and decent. His bone structure may not be astounding by any means he still carries a generally handsome face that gains its true brilliance from his expressions. In general speaking the lines of his face tend to be quite subtle and not very striking like men of fantasy, but he still holds a certain kind of charm that cannot truly be describe in full detail.
The most distinctive feature of his body is by far his eyes. Throughout the years his eyes have almost grayed due to the strain upon the sensory organs from his manipulative abilities. Though they hold a tint of lifelessness a small gleam seems to shine from them as a glistening blue tint still remains within the gentle eyes. However, many do not see these striking orbs due to him always wearing a pair of tinted glasses around with him. Many believe they are simply for a desperation for another style, but in truth the lenses are made out of a material that seems to lessen the blows upon his mind from his powers. The gem that forged such lenses is unknown to Leon as he gained them through a less than reliable source, but they have proven well. The lenses themselves hold a dark emerald tint with thin black frames resting them comfortably along his ears and nose.
Overall Leon tends to display an aura of relaxed gentleness. His body shows no true signs of strength and relies upon the subtle designs to work together to show a truly striking man. For those around the lieutenant a feeling of relief can be felt as he truly shows a figure who only wants to enjoy the best things out of life and live without worry. Yet a bitter taste of apathy is still left whenever one is around him for far too long.
Voice: Much of Leon's charm comes from his voice. Generally he speaks with a well mannered tone painted with a lighter touch than most others. There is no harshness within his voice and comes across as clear and peaceful as still water whenever he speaks to others. He is a considerably well-spoken man with proper articulation within his speech. There is never a need to rush through conversation, and as if he is savoring every moment of it he takes as much time as he desires to speak his mind. This leaves many to dislike conversing with him at times due to the drawn out monotone that carries through his words. Like his personality his voice tends to be quite relaxed and upbeat, rarely changing tone or volume.
Personality
Phobias: Leon’s current biggest fear is the loss of his position; though there is no logical reason why he would lose his status as a lieutenant. The man has worked very hard to gain what he has today and wants to make sure that he keeps it that way. Unfortunately this phobia spreads further as he tends to have a hard time trusting any other members of the banner. The only other peer he can possibly trust is Seneca, and that is more of a basis that he knows the man would not betray him instead of actual trust within the disconnected man.
Hopes and Motivations: Unlike many members of the golden banner Leon is an incredibly simple man. His only true hope is to remain in the position he has acquired. There are no dreams of grandeur and leadership or even of a better future. Leon’s life is made up of little, attainable, goals that keep him going much faster and further than the unattainable dreams. He finds that it is much easier and more rewarding to reap the small benefits of small accomplishments than to never reach the sky. As long as he can continue living in his comfort he is quite satisfied with life; almost too satisfied.
Likes and Dislikes: All of Leon’s interests boil down to enjoying life in a very simple manner. The very relaxed man loves nothing more than to wake up to nothing to do but take in the world around him, converse a little bit with those that will take the time to speak to him, and flirt with the members of the banner. Leon is a man known to always be in a good mood and ready to get others into that same mood, and thus is common to throw small little parties with other banner members; mostly women of course. If Leon had to give out a perfect day it would be to enjoy himself with a lovely lady. He is not a gluttonous individual, but he also enjoys a good bite to eat. Fortunately his standards were quite low to begin with and thus he does not exactly eat food worthy of his status. Anything that has a good spicy taste is simply wonderful for the man; even if it is the most basic of foods.
Leon is a very relaxed individual, and thus not many things truly get to him. In material items there are not many foods he will not eat, and the man enjoys night and day even if it is rainy or sunny. One of the things that he detests, however, is people bringing in a very dark atmosphere when it is not necessary. He tries to help out by bringing up people’s moods, but when people are intentionally acting with rude manners he tends to retort against them loudly. There is no need in cutting others down for the sake of cutting down. After all it kills his mood whenever he is forced around unnecessary conflict.
Cosmo is also an item of like and dislike for Leon. Throughout the man’s life he has never been out of touch with the world around him due to his power of seeing probabilities. His wild card peer wrecks this idea as he is simply too unpredictable to read at all; leaving Leon a little uncomfortable. He still tends to remain at ease around Cosmo, like all of the other lieutenants, but there is always a tension in the air with them.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Leon has always had a knack for lifting someone out of depression and bringing them into a lighter view. He is almost always the guy people come to when they need a message relayed without their head being lobbed off. This is because he is known to always take things as they are and never fret over the little things. Leon has proven to be a popular member of the banner due to his personality. It is not hard for Leon to rally those to his side and get a groups moral back up. Even in the darkest of times for someone he has shone to be a brilliant source of falling back upon. If someone needs to vent to someone Leon is the type of guy to always be there and ready to listen.
Unfortunately his relaxed attitude does have its own drawbacks. Leon has become so laid-back that even when though he is willing to listen he does not always show reactions to match that. More often than not he will react hardly any different than usual due to the “just relax” aura from his demeanor. This leads people to become very impatient with him and his nearly disconnected attitude towards many things. His inability to become riled over many things also makes him look to be immature and unaware of the severity of the situation; but to him there is never a need to overreact (in his case to react at all).
He is also hardly a strict lieutenant, and is known for being incredibly lenient on those under him; almost to the point of spoiling those near him. Though he pushes for good moral and strength he will rarely attempt to push someone beyond their own self-developed limits. This leads to many looking at him as too much of a maternal figure with his underlings, and at times it has proven true as he tends to clean up for others more than he should.
General Personality: The Golden Banner is one of the most illustrious factions within the sanction of New York. The group is known for their strength of incredibly talented individuals and ruthless brutality towards any they feel are inferior. Leon Chambers is one of the few who seems to stand apart from the typical image of the banner. The lieutenant does not care much for sharing dominance over others, and instead prefers to live a laid-back life without too much excitement. He generally tends to come off as the apathetic member of the respected lieutenants with his nonchalant aura. He is, however, the one member of the group who brings light to the field. Most of his peers tend to be either disconnected, cold, or on the brink of self-destruction. Leon breaks this mold by acting as a figure to bring balance to those who live within the wake of the banner officers; sometimes including even the officers themselves.
To his peers Leon is respected only on the basis of his skill. He may be a man who always gets his job done to absolute completion, but he never strives to achieve excellence. Achieving a goal is in itself enough and thus to him there is no need to move above the request. This leaves many of his peers, and some overseers, to believe that he is apathetic about his job. In truth Leon simply desires to live a life without the stress of always trying to gain more and more. To him there is no need to try and hold more than you need, and he has all the things in the world that he needs. Leon always gets his jobs done to perfection, but never more than a one-hundred percent effort.
Another reason he tends to be disliked by his peers his how he treats those under him. The banner is known for its sheer brutality and tolerance only for strength, but Leon tends to be incredibly lenient on those under him. It is not because he is a nice person, as Leon is far from a saint, but his relaxed nature leads him to not truly care for the little mistakes people do. As long as he realizes someone has potential, loyalty, and a fair amount of talent he believes they deserve the spot they possess. He is a man known for taking blame and cleaning up after other’s mistakes, and is often the man to relay messages to other officers and higher ups in order to keep heads from rolling. His easy going attitude makes him easy to approach leaving him a popular figure among many of the banner underlings. Though he is relaxed he still does not have tolerance for traitors or people who are honestly putting forth no effort for the banner. Those that do not serve the banner receive a less than desirable fate.
Leon is a man of social nature, and tends to express this to the other lieutenants. Though they may not always be up for conversation he is typically forcing them some way or another into dropping their load for a moment in order to relax with him. Many of them show a face of disdain for such attitude but in reality the bright aspect of his personality is welcomed within the mostly melancholy atmosphere of the Golden Banner lieutenants. His peers may look at him as if he has an immature view of the world, but Leon is a man whom he both intensely disliked and welcomed by them.
Though he is known for the lighter facets of his personality the darker side of the man cannot be ignored. Whenever he is given a mission Leon performs with admirable determination and skill. He will let nothing stand in his way from seeking completion; a true demonstration of his loyalty to the banner. While this cold resolution is well respected and tends to gain popular favor it also comes with a terrifyingly cold spirit that almost seems to possess Leon. In battle he is the epitome of calm and moves with well-thought and fluid movements that would put many others to shame. It is almost like watching a faceless performance; a lack of emotion but full of mesmerizing action.
Backstory
Family and Connections: Leon Chambers (sr) - Deceased
Rosalina Chambers (49) - Lives in central park as a straggler. The last time Leon saw her was one year ago. He does not know if she is currently alive.
Quick History: As a child Leon's life did not differ far from the average. Born to Mr. & Mrs. Chambers in the closing 19th century the lifestyle of an average family in Queens New York was the blessing and curse upon the family. Throughout his childhood life the routine of getting up and going somewhere to do the same things day after day as his parents went to work within their own limited fields slowly wore the boy down. As children go Leon was incredibly mature for his age, and his mind caught many things that passed his peers by. Most of these internal feelings of longing were inexplicable, but still very present. It was as if this cycle of progression the only thing that was ever moving was his own age. Although these ideals were hardly revealed to a child of such age the simple fact that he felt something tugging at his core was fact.
In school Leon did quite well with his academic studies. In his early years he was far from a social individual, and instead intensely paid attention in class and at home with his studies. With the occasional creative twist and imagination for play he appeared to be a boy truly of note for his parents. From academic success, politeness, and natural childish charms he was truly the apple of his parents' eye. As he progressed through school, however, all of these achievements began to regress and disappear. At first the lack of academic successes were believed to be some biological changes including perhaps an early stage of puberty, leaving him much more distracted than he would have been normally.
This idea, however, was not the case. It was hard to explain for the bright boy, quite a blow to his intellectual ego, as there was no feeling like he had ever had before. All of the things he had been told by doctors and parents may have been true, but even he boy at the coming teens realized that there was more to it than that. All of the signs were absent, leaving instead a disgruntled vision with occult happenings. At times he felt that he could actually feel his stomach move towards one decision over another; with every case being a successful decision. Was his body telling him which choices would be better off? There was also this unique feeling of dropping out of reality and time. Some say time flies when you are having fun and slows down otherwise, but to Leon there was a simple absence of it. He was slowly adapting to a world of lost time with no idea why or how. Hours could pass that felt like mere moments leaving him disconnected from reality in a weird way.
Though he tried to explain these things to his parents he came off like a madman. Medical physicians attempted him at first, but failed and passed him to psychiatric assistance. Though certain aspects of his problems came to light there was little to break the fog, leaving Leon a boy slowly breaking apart because of the unknown. At times he felt like a freak, and these internal conflicts only became worse as his powers evolved more and more. Studies slipped into oblivion with only a shell of a boy left shamefully.
Then the news of powered humans came to the world. Magic was not fantasy but a reality induced by mutation. Some people hailed them as gods and others demons, the latter being his family. This revelation, however, may have been the thing Leon was looking for. Throughout his entire life he had lived in mediocrity and absence, but perhaps he was too one of these ‘blessed’ individuals. Making sure to not let his parents know the boy started from after school adventures to find these powered humans to even skipping classes to pursue answers.
During a press conference dealing with the matters Leon met an older man whom he knew through his father. It had turned out that he too was one of these gifted individuals. With the boy’s cry for help the man decided to give the young black sheep some tips in order to manifest his own abilities if they were present. After that day Leon began his training until he had finally began to harness some control over his potential. This, however, lead to the dismay of his parents. Biting insults and condemning were thrown at the boy by his less than accepting father. Eventually he found himself back into reality, but fallen out of a family. Leon had gathered with many other peers after his casting out. Many gave their sympathy for the boy, but he took none of it. Instead he looked at it with optimistic eyes as he now had no restrictions upon his life. He had finally found the answers he was looking for.
Years of racism followed the boy before and after the bombs fell. Many blamed the powered humans such as himself for the ending of their age, but Leon simply looked past the bile and towards bright waters. Though he was a boy he had an amazing control over his power with an astounding potential to follow with that. As he grew into his later teens he became more well known among stragglers and gangs for his powerful abilities, leaving those at his side safer than usual. After years wandering through the wastes of New York he was spotted by the elite Golden Banner for his potential. Leaving all of his past things to pursue a future designed for, and by, people like him he quickly rose through the elites until hitting a spot as a renowned lieutenant of the powerful hegemon. The place where he stands today as a figure of hazy optimism.
Most Vivid Events: Though the first few times Leon began to manipulate the space-time continuum were quite shocking, the most memorable event truly had to be when the first major stalker attacked occurred near him. Watching people being mauled by the monsters was one of the most intense moments any person could ever witness. It was also during this moment of his life that Leon first used his abilities to truly protect himself in the roaring crowd of incoming disaster.
Every memory of losing a friend, even if just a recent acquaintance, is also painfully burned into his memory. Though he moves with nonchalance he carries the heavy weight of lost comrades to the infestation.
Miscellaneous
Pets/Familiar: Tiger, his pet goat
Possessions: Leon's own little pride and joy is his little abode within Noten Park. Using his powers, and connections, he has managed to build a small little place with many combined resources from stone to metal. The design is very abstract and completely impractical, but the unique touch is brilliant for the man. Within the home he possesses many, many books with rudimentary furniture that is mostly crudely crafted.
Reputation: Leon has gained a reputation as being the powerful space-time manipulator of the Golden Banner lieutenants across the banner territory. Beyond word of him being a powerful combatant and avid partier there is not much known about the man through the ranks. In comparison to his peers Leon likes to keep a pretty small profile and remain under the radar. The only true reputation he has gained is that he is the guy who will go easy on you if you catch him in a common good mood.
