It also comes with a split tail, as not to hinder the wearer too much.

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">3)<span style="font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';">      Characteristics

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Background: He grew up as the son to an engineer and huntress in Mistral. He grew up surrounded by scientists and intellectuals, which had an impact on his lifestyle. However, at a young age his father was targeted by a criminal organization, and while the family survived, they were forced to go into hiding. Legere was at Sanctum at the time, which probably saved his life.

<p class="MsoNormal">At the age of 17, he got into Haven, and here he met his new teammates. Here he was considered to be an above-average fighter (definitely stand-out, but not exactly Bruce Lee). This is where he developed his sarcastic personality, and also where he got his first outfit, which is similar to that of a standard Roman legionary. Ultimately, his team was very successful, and he even made it to the singles round of the Vytal festival, before getting his ass kicked. His team graduated, and specialized in tracking, intel, and covert operations.

<p class="MsoNormal">However, all was not well; the team had been tracking a specific rebel group for a good while, and ended up following a lead that landed them directly in an ambush. They were jumped, and while they all survived, they were badly injured. Turns out that Legere’s former mentor had backstabbed them, and ended up putting 2 members into a coma, and one into critical condition. Ultimately they all survived but as the only one combat-able, Legere decided to track down the mastermind of the ambush.

<p class="MsoNormal">When he discovered the his former mentor, he knew that the perpetrator wouldn’t be charged, so he tracked him down to a cottage where he and a few other ringleaders were hiding out and planned on killing him (though he left the other rebels unconscious for the authorities to find). However, he instead decided to paralyze his former mentor from the neck down, and gave his location to the authorities, citing it as “a punishment worse than death: humiliation”. While Arthur was arrested, Legere’s actions got him disbarred as a huntsman, so he broke off from his team to lead a life of a mercenary.

<p class="MsoNormal">During this time he learned many things and even ended up training an apprentice. He now takes legal contracts for high prices, capturing (and sometimes killing) criminals, escorting high-profile targets, and protecting supply lines from looters and terrorists. He occasionally comes into contact with his former teammates, whom had now all split and followed their own lives.

<p class="MsoNormal">-Personality: Businesslike and sarcastic. Often uses New York City dialect, and shares this accent and personality. Also somewhat cynical and very skeptical. This businesslike demeanor and his shadowy tendencies make him something of a cross between the film noir-style P.I. (but less brooding) and prohibition-era mobster (but less violent). He is also very logical and usually doesn’t let his impulsiveness overtake his better judgment.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Likes: Fighting with people of equal skill, basically anyone who mirrors him, intelligent people, a good deal, cigars, when people stand up for themselves rather than relying on others, self-made success, poker, blues

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Dislikes: Irrational behavior, over-sentimentality, moral and political extremes, terror and rebel groups, superficiality, blind faith, the idea of destiny (he thinks one should pave their own trail, and not necessarily follow the one given), dust weapons, pompousness

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">4) Trivia:

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Notable relationships:

<p class="MsoNormal">Vladimir Kamen – former squadmate, close friend

<p class="MsoNormal">Delta Quintong – Former squadmate, business associate

<p class="MsoNormal">Marius Kamen – Apprentice and business partner, adopted son of Vlad

<p class="MsoNormal">-Notes: He has connections to Mistral law enforcement, giving him access to their documents when he needs them.

<p class="MsoNormal">He is, for all intents and purposes, a true neutral: he hunts down criminals for the cops, but follows his own rules. He does good things and refuses to kill unless he absolutely has to, but only has his own interests in mind.

<p class="MsoNormal">He usually avoids killing those who aren’t his targets (when he has to kill his targets) but won’t hesitate to do so if necessary.

<p class="MsoNormal">Usually carries 2-3 cans of thermite paste and remote blasting caps as well as a detonator.

<p class="MsoNormal">His combat style is similar to “gun fu”, a Hollywood combat type that comes from John Woo-style action films, like Hard Boiled and John Wick.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hunter Extension: He is a former hunter, and as such he is familiar with hunter tactics. While he is effective at fighting Grimm, he prefers fighting against humanoid opponents as they “are better at strategy, and that changes things up a good bit. And I like that,”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">I) Weapons

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Name: Simo and Fang

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Type: MSWP (Multi-staged weapon platform)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Short Description:

<p class="MsoNormal">Simo: A mid-sized machine pistol that shoots a 3-rnd burst and is very accurate. A small box can be attached to its back, which unfolds and turns into a 2-rnd burst battle rifle that looks like a cross between a WA2000 and a BAR (the latter being a reference to his Chicago mobster influences). Battle rifle form has a scope and magnifier attached to it, while the pistol version has a built-in suppressor. Both come with a special laser which projects an intense amount of heat on one location (though not enough to be an effective weapon), which allows him to track the laser. Combined with his semblance, this lets him see and shoot around corners.

<p class="MsoNormal">Fang: A long, thin kukri, with a magnetized spine that allows it to attach to the bottom of Simo and act as a bayonet/foregrip

<p class="MsoNormal">II) Semblance

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Name: Thermo-auric tracking

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Short Description: The semblance allows its user to detect all nearby auras. As well as analyze the strength and condition of his opponents’ aura(s). It also partially uses heat detection, which allows him to track things like Grimm and Robots additionally, albeit to a less effective extent. It also allows him to track certain types of concentrated light (i.e. laser beams), due to the heat they give off.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Visual effect: Eyes turn cloudy and glow bright green while a dust-like effect pulsates from them.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">III) Combat Info

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Class/Position: Strategist (team), hunter (stealth/solo). He has a balanced build and brutal combat style; however, his best tool is his mind. He is able to point out enemies using his semblance, and he is a brilliant strategist. When going solo or stealth he usually fills the hunter role of the team (not to be confused with huntsmen/huntresses), tracking targets and clearing areas stealthily.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Landing strategy: Has advanced shock bracers in his boots which eliminate most of the impact from falls

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Fighting Style: Gun fu/stealth

<p class="MsoNormal">Civilian Extension

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">A) Day to Day Life

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Expanded Occupation/Business Details: His business is tracking down and capturing/killing high-level criminals, and escorting important people and supply caravans. His business is shady as is his character; nobody knows much about him exactly, but they do know his business. He has a reputation for sticking to the contract and doing things his own way, but getting the job done non-the-less.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">Tracking, stealth, persuasion and manipulation, gathering intelligence, strategy

<p class="MsoNormal">-Expanded Relationships/Family Life:

<p class="MsoNormal">Vlad Kamen: His good friend and former squadmate, he maintains a steady relationship with him and the two will often swap stories and strategies, as well as supporting each other in times of need. One of the few people he trusts and usually agrees with, despite their differences in personality.

<p class="MsoNormal">Delta Quintong: Another former squad member, his relationship with her is less steady than his with Vlad. However, she helps him and he helps her when it is required, though the two are put at odds about as often as they work together. He also trusts her with his life, though does so somewhat more begrudgingly.

<p class="MsoNormal">Marius Kamen: Vlad Kamen’s adopted sun, Marius is the former apprentice of Legere. The two often work together on contract and lead similar lives. The two are very similar and thus they get along well.

<p class="MsoNormal">Legis Nebulosus: Legere’s mother and to a certain extent, his mentor (after his other mentor’s betrayal), he has a healthy relationship with her. Her connections with other huntsmen and huntresses is invaluable to Legere, as it often leads to him getting more contracts coming his way.
