Hey! Kate again (Danny), I have my second character here; Leo Kennedy. (pb: Skeet Ulrich)

Leo has the, rather limited ability, to see what will happen in the immediate future. He can see maybe the next movements or the next 30 secs in a situation. Never enough time to do anything about it. He's a little numbed to violence and doesn't believe in 'fighting the good fight' because he can't see how it's any different to the other option.

Leo grew up in New Orleans and witnessed his brother murdered which also affected him deeply and how he views death as an inevitability rather than a tragedy.

Considering the futility of his ability and his own tainted view on life, when he was seventeen and offered a means to support himself he took it easily; $500 to kill a man. He used a 9mm and walked away, lost in a crowd. He'd known which way the man would turn and any other factors involved because of his gift.

Killing's easy, made easier by his proficiency with firearms - almost anything you give him to shoot he will be a dead-shot. He only kills for money - assassin, hit-man, contract killer. Whatever description; Leo doesn't care about motive it's just about getting paid.

So excited with this character so any and all lines eagerly anticipated.

Some basic ideas I had:
-Getting hired for a hit.
-Would like to explore things with his sister or father.
-Possibly him finding sympathy for one of his mark's.
-Picking a side on the villain v. hero debate.
-Humanising himself through someone he meets in Axis.

So yeah, Pure Charlie on AIM or ideas here I don't mind :)

	I think he sounds like an amazing character and I'm sure he'll have lots of lines in game, especially with the over-arching plot. Should he ever get pulled up in front of Simone she might be willing to offer him a deal, given how useful his powers could be to her and the police force. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank-you :) and I hope so, I'm looking forward to playing him a lot. That could be really interesting; especially the offer of the deal and what Leo does with the idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rachel thinks Simone is not the right ally for Leo. He could use his potential so much more with her people. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Rachel thinks Leo is quite an interesting man, and that they could have plenty of interesting interactions in a near future. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Definitely, I would love that. And I'm sure Leo would to. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi, Kate! XD I love powers that seem kind of useless at first, but then turn out to be extraordinarily helpful. I've got no ideas, but I wanted to chime in on the greatness of the character concept. :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks, glad you like it, I got the idea last night and it wouldn't leave me until I applied :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hi again Kate!

I think Leo and Moretti certainly must meet, perhaps Alexander has hired him previously? Alexander is currently seriously having Stanley May killed although Charlie and I are yet to discuss that. Would Leo be avaliable to assist? I imagine killing a man with Super powers like Stan's could be a little tricky though...

Sorry about that. Brain shut down. ><''

I would definitely be up for that! Sounds exactly the kind of thing I've been wanting to to do since I thought of Leo :)

Well, shall we set up a meeting? I think that would ROCK.

Especially as Leo will probably be requested to help the the mayor's assignation, although Moretti doesn't want himself directly revealed to be involved with that so there will be a lot of use of disposable mobile phones and untraceable emails and things.

I woud agree strongly with that rocking, I'm working a 12 hour shift today but will reply as soon as I collapse home later if you want to post something?

Leo is nothing if not stealth and discreet ;) so no worries for Moretti on that.

XDD Sure thing! I'll have something ready for you when you get back. one question though, does Leo have a fixed address at this point that he can receive mail to?

He has one under one of his aliases; in Axis it's going to be David Hunter. Moretti would know if he'd hired him before, or if he was reccommended to Moretti they'd have told him. Looking forward to the scene!
