Research and experimentation conducted by SOPHE shows Leasick can semi-effectively focus the otherwise chaotic flames through a weapon. As such, he's been provided with a superheat resistant and conductive titanium sword to use in combat, as well as relevant training in the use of the aforementioned weapon. More recently he has also been able to channel the fire through the arm itself, ranging from just the fist to his entire arm being set ablaze with magical fire that harms others, but not himself. However, it is very unstable and can easily lead to damage to his arm plates, putting him at risk.<br/><br/><strong>Height:</strong>6'2"<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>On the whole you could say Leasick looks fairly average, with a mop of unruly dark hair and a natural light tan. It is the nuances that set him apart, though. His eyes are a bright copper color that quite literally glows, though the intensity of it is usually too faint to actually perceive without actively looking for it up close. The glows increases drastically when he uses his demonic powers, and his hair begins turning white, as well, making them visual indicators to how intensely the demon blood is being channeled. Though his body is very toned, it is also riddled with scars, especially where the demonic left arm is grafted onto his shoulder, hinting at a quick and messy transfer.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Often jokey and prone to playful sarcasm, Leasick is usually seen as laidback, and having a devil may care attitude. His personality is far more complex than that. Psychologists perceive his usual attitude as a front or coping mechanism to handle intense stress and the survivor's guilt he suffers from. This also manifests itself in his willingness to put himself in harm's way in order to keep others out of it. While he is not at all suicidal, he is very much aware of his current situation and works hard to achieve the goals he has set for himself.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Up until the age of fourteen Leasick Valshanner lived a relatively normal life. He had a family; loving parents and a younger sister. One warm evening in July, however, took that all away from him. It is a day that will haunt him forever, yet, sadly, there are vital parts of it that he can't recall.<br/><br/>The official reports say it was an accident on a highway at the edge of the city, but obviously it was far more than that. All he could recall was driving home from the movie theatre with his family before a sudden explosion sent the car flying and knocked him out. There were faint slivers still present, moments where he drifted in and out of consciousness. Nothing was solid, just sounds, and blurry images. By the time he woke up, Leasick was in the hospital and a full week had passed. His family was confirmed to have died in the crash and he'd barely survived himself. The most shocking part of all was that his entire left arm had been replaced by one that was far more demonic in nature, a limb of black and orange, throbbing with power... but also death.<br/><br/>Now an orphan with no close relatives and with an extraordinary medical situation, Leasick was officially taken in by SOPHE. It would later be revealed to him that this was in part because his late father had been a member of their organization, but they have always refused to inform him of his father's position and tasks within it.<br/><br/>SOPHE still runs regular tests and experiments on him to this day, revealing just a little bit more about his condition each time. The arm has actually saved Leasick from sharing his family's fate due to the powerful demonic blood it pumps through his veins, but, at the same time, it is slowly killing him<del>   </del>like a poison. The details are too complex for him to fully comprehend, but the short and sweet of it is that he's living on borrowed time. He can also suffer from intense pain and seizures if he pushes his powers too far or lets them go out of control.<br/><br/>The origins of the arm remain a mystery. Whom did it belong to and who grafted it hastily onto a fourteen-year-old boy in the short time span between the "accident" and the arrival of emergency services? That is what Leasick is aiming to find out. In the meantime, he works as an agent for SOPHE, having received years of intense training between tests and experiments. His arm grants him amazing powers, but they are also highly unstable and so his strength can fluctuate greatly if he's not careful.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Leasick has grown very fond of Japanese rock and pop music over the years. He also (secretly) collects figurines of various anime and game characters. Lastly, he enjoys driving motorcycles, and will occasionally "borrow" one of SOPHE's vehicles for a pleasant cruise.<br/><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Complicated situations are not something Leasick is a fan of. He's a man of simple solutions. See a bad guy? Punch a bad guy. Due to the "accident", he's also not very fond of driving in cars and will actively avoid having to ride those with a hardtop, in particular.<br/><br/><strong>Skills:</strong>Leasick's demonic arm grants him the potential to become a deadly adversary. It increases things such as strength, agility, and durability far beyond that of a normal human. The arm itself is also capable of producing fire, though it is generally too wild for him to control. As such, SOPHE has developed and built him armored arm elements that can channel a portion of the flames into a special sword, the blade of which will glow an azure blue color due to the heat being channeled, though both will fail and are destroyed if his powers run amuck. The current version of his sword is codenamed the [Blazing Blade V3.23].<br/><br/><strong>Talents:</strong>Though SOPHE's training has made him a capable swordsman, he's also shown to be quite naturally adept at it. He's also very experienced at handling motorcycles and other vehicles of such nature. Lastly, he can make a delicious bolognese pasta and gives surprisingly good massages.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Affiliation:</strong>SOPHE<br/><br/><strong>Role:</strong>(Special) Combat Operative<br/><br/><strong>Title:</strong>Special Operative<br/><br/><strong>Demon Rank:</strong>[UNSTABLE] Can fluctuate greatly, depending on his mental and physical health, and thus impossible to accurately classify.<br/><br/><strong>Strengths:</strong>Excels in combat situations, has a strong sense of justice, and does not hesitate to jump into action in order to keep others safe.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong>His power level can be very unreliable and can even harm him. Furthermore, he's easy to deflect when questioned about his past, and his willingness to put himself in danger for the sake of others can put him in more danger than he's capable of handling. Lastly, his aloof persona can put him at odds with others, even his superiors.<br/><br/><strong>Uniform:</strong>See the mostly white uniform in the pictures above and below.<br/><br/><br/><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/tia89xp.png)(https://i.imgur.com/oMS5DHJ.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/rtAwjnh.jpg)</div>
