[quote=Xeios]Name: Leon Machina

Age: 21

Faction: Suvoj

Shards: Two shards total. One shard is kept dangling from a chain attached to the bottom of his Customized handgun. This shard's purpose is turning his bullets into something entirely unnatural. This is done by displacing the particles around the bullet after it leaves the gun. In this way, the bullet never loses momentum(no friction to slow it down) and cannot be stopped by any sort of material barrier. Leon found out how to make this work to his advantage by placing a focuser around the tip of the gun's barrel which, as the bullet is fired through, applies the properties to it. His second shard was surgically implanted into his left eye, and with the advances in science, is connected to his brain. In this way he can percieve energy signals, locate shards among others, and read the thoughts of those around him. It also gives his vision a magnifying capability for his one 'eye' and has perfect vision up to a mile away.

Weapons: A customized revolver with a thirteen centimeter long barrel. It is coloured a beep metallic black, and inscibed in silver along the handle is the roman numeral XIII, a name which Leon has coined for himself for a long time. There is a strand of silver metal that runs from the chain at the base of the gun tot he barrel, and surrounds the tip of the barrel in silver. The chain dangling off the bottom of this is connected to the shard.

Physical Appearance: Leon is aproximately 6' 1" tall and weighs about 145lbs, he does not at all apear to be threatening, but the truth of the matter is he is almost entirely muscle. He is actually a very strong person for one so skinny. He usually wears a pair of tight fitting black jeans, black 'skate' shoes, a black dress shirt (partially unbuttoned) and a dark red t-shirt underneath that. His long black hair is usually combed in front of his left eye, to hide the shard from plain sight.

Background: Leon was about 14 when the meteor hit and right away he knew it came from the heavens. Having lived in Australia at that time, he had actually gotten his hands on two scattered shards from the crash. He had left his home shortly therafter, seeking adventure and keeping the shards hidden away in the messenger bag he carried with him. He found a group, the Suvaj, who held a deep respect for these shards and for The Holy who sent them. He appeared to be almost brainwashed by them as they took him in without question. This was where he was taught to activate his shards. The others were jealous, but Leon did not fear them. He grasped a shard deep in his hands and activated it, but it appeared to have no effect on his abilities. He tried different things with it, and studied the runes inside of it, and learned that it had something to do with vision. Leon determined he wanted to use this power, and went to the head of the religious group. Saying it was God who wanted him to see the truth, and that he wanted guidance on how to use this. A team of medical professionals were put together to implant the shard in his eye. They took it, and shoved it deep into his eye socket, where they connected it to his brain using several synthetic receptors. They rounded the outer edge of the shard, making it appear more round and eye-like leaving a glowing blue green mass where his eye ball once was. With his new eye, and his new abilities to see, he activated his second shard, and peering deep into this shard, he instantly deciphered the symbols, and fitted a weapon that would take full advantage of this new power, the power to alter matter around an object, disrupting it. He outfitted it on a chain and connected the chain onto his gun, with a single trail of silver metal running up the side of this gun to a focus point just off the tip of the barrel. Leon realized he had all he needed, with a weapon for God's great justice and an eye to seek out other shards and bring them to God's chosen people.

Phew, that took a while to come up with.  Enjoy.

FX Posts: 3183/3775	So, we've finally finished. Anybody have any last comments or thoughts? Me, I loved this RP, and I had a great time doing it with you all. Can't wait till the next one.
Katana Posts: 2341/3649	YES!!! ZOMG...he would be PERFECT for Josiah. And teehee...I've seen Dexter.
FX Posts: 3028/3775	So I may have found our Josiah Michael C. Hall If any of you have seen Dexter, I'm sure you'll agree.
FX Posts: 2935/3775	Yeah, me and Cairoi have been talking about Seifer a lot. It's a hard choice. I halfheartedly threw out Viggo Mortensen. Cairoi seems to like Jared Leto. No clue about Brad. Hm...
Lord Vulkas Mormonus Posts: 2813/4541	Alright, so so far it seems like everyone has been cast except for the coolest character, and one of the characters who are not nearly so cool as my own. I am at least pretending not to be biased in any way whatsoever. Who is Brad, and who is Seifer?
FX Posts: 2908/3775	Originally posted by Captain Tightpants Okay, me and Katana were talking about who would play who if this ever got made into a movie (we were bored). This is what we came up with: Leon: Hugh Jackman Holly's Dad: Robert Deniro or Harrison Ford Isha: Gina Torres Holly: Summer Glau Josiah: The guy from the hulk, or Matt Damon She came up with someone good for Edgar, forgot who... Originally posted by Katana Alec Baldwin! Haha. Sorry guys...we had too much fun with this. XD Originally posted by Captain Tightpants Alden? And Micheal Caine or Christopher Lloyd for Watcher.
Cairoi Posts: 2699/3807	Alright, fun time: Seifer, Holly, The Watcher, Alden, and Brad. Cast away.
FX Posts: 2907/3775	I could see Norton as a Jeremy or Leon. I dunno about Josiah. But Damon, basically does the part he normally does at first, then pulls out his character from the Departed for the rest. Were Stanley Tucci younger, he could do Jeremy too.
Cairoi Posts: 2698/3807	Honestly, I could see Matt Damon. I say Matt Damon or Edward Norton.
FX Posts: 2906/3775	Cairoi pretty much has it down. Josiah was a gentle scientist interested in solving problems of the world. He originally planned the shards to be an energy source. But when the government took away his life's work and threw him in an insane asylum to keep him quiet. He became obsessed with revenge, and when his shard returned to him, he snapped. He got his revenge, and turned to trying to get what, by his perverted logic, belonged to him: the world. All this is going to be revealed in the prequel. For some reason, my mind keeps bringing me back to Matt Damon for Josiah...
Cairoi Posts: 2697/3807	Bettany's roles all ooze his British-ness, though. While he's one of my favorite actor, he's honestly not right for Josiah, either. Josiah just seems, background wise, very ambiguous. I must have different views of the characters than all of you. I see Josiah as a gentle man gone mad due to the poisoning of the shards and the drive they've given him to accomplish his plan. I don't see him as anything close to an 'ultimate villain' in any regards than his power. Bettany is an epic man built for epic roles, he couldn't play Josiah. The only person I could see Bettany playing is the head of E'Shuyum, Jack. Seeing as how Jack IS British, and his role demands a more comedic twist, which Bettany can deliver.
FX Posts: 2904/3775	Bettany would be perfect. And did you mean Blackthorn, cause there's no Blockthorn. Don't think he'd be quite right though.
Lord Vulkas Mormonus Posts: 2806/4541	I actually think that Paul Bettany would fit the bill for Josiah. Either him, or Paul Blockthorn. Neither of them seem usual, but in the movies where they've played as villians, I think they'd be perfect.
Cairoi Posts: 2694/3807	EDIT: Taken out for Vulkar's sake. Second of all, Kat's got it in the bag there. Christian Bale would be much better as Leon then Josiah. While Bale could pull off all the Josiahs, that's only because of his skill as an actor. He's not the right fit. If you could get a somewhat more laid back Edward Norton, I think that'd hit the bill.
Xeios Posts: 2507/2954	Christian Bale would play a much better Leon. He's done Equillibrium, and that's a beautiful view of the Zealotry which Leon has. Granted Leon is a little less wavering. Hugh Jackman could play a manlier character better. Josiah could be played by the guy who plays Jack on Lost(Can't recall his name).
FX Posts: 2901/3775	But I thought we already agreed on Hugh Jackman as Leon? I think Bale could pull off the timid Josiah, the badass Josiah, and the insane Josiah.
Katana Posts: 2309/3649	I see Christrian Bale as more of a Leon-ish character...but that may be a bit of a personal bias. I kinda see a bit of an older version of Chris in Leon...and...well, Chris IS Christian Bale. I'm sure Cairoi can back me on this one. He just reminds me so much of him.
FX Posts: 2900/3775	So I think I may have come up with a good person to play Josiah: Christian Bale Hm?
Xeios Posts: 2493/2954	THIS IS SPARTA!
