[b]Name[/b]: Leonard Skinner
[b]Gender[/b]: Male
[b]Age[/b]:27
[b]Appearance[/b]: Leonard is a fitness freak and it shows. His 6’4” frame is heavily built with muscle and tone. He resembles a box or a barrel in his proportions, well rounded and solid. He is a caucasian American with blue eyes and dark brown hair, which is shaved on the sides and styled into a fohawk combed over to the right. His left arm is covered in a sleeve tattoo of psychadelic colors from the wrist up past his shoulder and onto his neck. Leonard tends to favor jeans and sneakers with a striped tank top and stylized running jacket, which conceals his pistol. Lastly, Leonard has pierced his left ear with a stud.
[b]Personality[/b]: Calm but moody, professional yet selfish, a free spirit burdened with rules and a regimented behavior. Leonard is a man who thinks of himself before others, but then that’s to be expected of a paid mercenary. Or as he likes to call his profession, an “aggressive artist.” His feelings and moods change on a whim, almost as if by the direction of the wind or the phase of the moon, yet he knows to always remain professional when dealing with business and companions. When it comes to stand combat, he is both tactical and aggressive, a great planner and strategist due to the non-offensive nature of his stand’s power, and yet quick to take aim with his trusty sidearm thanks to how long it takes for his stand to kick in. He will take any opportunity that he sees, so long as the reward outweighs the risk in his mind. He is certainly not above taking advantage of his stand for more mundane aspects of life, and if there is something to gain from abusing his power with a normal citizen then he won’t hesitate to do so. This selfish nature is sometimes difficult to pinpoint, as he speaks with flowery, eloquent sentence structure that can confuse the less educated and come off as exceedingly polite when he is in fact being nothing of the sort. He is also a big patriot of his country.
[b]Skills[/b]: [list][*]Fit - Leonard is a very physically fit and athletic man, able to lift with the best of them and take a hit like a man. He’s also got stamina for days, able to keep running at top speed without losing breath for several minutes.
[*]Shooting - Despite his imposing frame and great strength, Leonard doesn’t have a lot of skill in physical combat. Rather he’s great at marksmanship, trained and experienced with most small arms.
[*]Educated - Just because he’s built like a brute doesn’t mean he is one. Leonard is no genius, but he’s not dumb either. He’s had a strong education and has a master’s degree in literary arts.
[*]Artful - In accordance with the above, Leonard is a pretty darn good artist, whether it’s with a paint brush or a pen or a stone chisel. He’s great with his hands and able to expediently make great art, but his calligraphy strokes are unquestionably his best.[/list]
[b]History[/b]: Born and raised as an only child in a small town in the state of Alabama, Leonard never forgot his roots. A fine bit more educated than most of his peers, he struggled through social life until he was able to leave the small minded small town and attend university for his artistic passion. He had big plans for life, but little did he know how life had its own big plans for him. Leonard exposed himself to every form of art that he could, indulging in modern media, classical technique, and drifting between styles on a whim. His informed style led to an early graduation, so as reward his parents had paid for a trip to several countries around the world, where he could integrate into the cultures and learn first hand about the various histories and styles he was emulating in his own works. He was eager, and ectatic for the opportunity, bringing with him many of his own pieces which he would sell during the journey to make up for the remainder of the cost…

Only no pieces were sold. Leonard had been banking on being able to supplement the trip with his own income, but he failed to sell a single piece even when he dropped his prices to a net loss. Saddened, disparaged, and now out of money in a foreign country, Leonard missed his flight to the next leg on his journey all because he couldn’t afford a taxi. It wasn’t fair. He gave everything he had, devoted his soul to understanding and portraying these cultures, to gain worldly wisdom, and they failed to appreciate it, not even for a few measly pennies. Leonard almost fell into despair then and there, but then was approached by a strange man with white hair, who offered him a nice payday, assuming Leonard could do something for him. Desperate, Leonard entertained the offer and listened to the man. All he had to do was replace the water bottle of a nearby man with one white-hair was providing. This sounded sketchy as all hell, so Leonard asked bluntly, “Are you asking me to poison him?” The response he got was answer enough. “What are you willing to do to thrive?” Leonard thought long and hard about it. The situation was difficult, and there seemed to be no way out. His family certainly didn’t have the money to support him back; it was all spent on his dream vacation. Burying his conscience, Leonard agreed.

The white haired man made good on his promise, and went another step forward. After paying Leonard, he offered Leonard “real power.” In exchange for Leonard’s services in the future, he could test Leonard with new strength that would mean he would never fall on hard times again. This time Leonard didn’t hesitate and agreed on the spot. The two left the airport for a more private surrounding in the wilderness, where the man revealed a strange arrowhead with a bug patterned onto it. The man cut into Leonard’s hand with the arrowhead, and after several moments declared that since he wasn’t dead, Leonard was worthy. That was the day he was given his stand, Free Bird, and the day the white haired man trained him in the basics of stand use and combat. For the next five years Leonard took on any job his mentor sent his way, while developing his own career as an independent mercenary. He would charge based on “commissions,” how many works of art he had to make during a job, and took on any task so long as the price was right. Killings weren’t off the table, not after he already damned himself with the poisoned man in the airport, and any target usually found an unmarked letter in their mailbox with only a strange symbol inside, before dying of mysterious circumstances. Of course he’d take on protection jobs, transportation, and anything else anybody would be willing to hire him for. Now the Speedwagon Foundation had called in Leonard Skinner for the strange phenomena in Washington DC, and the abundance of costumed maniacs running amok. Well, the price was certainly right.

[b]Stand Description[/b]: Free Bird is a long range automatic stand that has no form of its own, instead inhabiting and working through the user’s body, and his symbol drawings. 
[b]Power Description[/b]: Free Bird has the ability to create fully self-sustaining and evolving illusions through symbols drawn by the user. These symbols can be Japanese kanji, Nordic runes, or anything else. The user draws a symbol, empowering it with his stand. Once the symbol has been complete, it expends its power on the first living thing to see it (it does not need to be human nor do they need to understand what the symbol means, or even be aware that they have seen it, but they do need to see the entire thing). The victim is then subjected to an illusion created by the meaning of the symbol (ex: the symbol for “fire” forces them to see a fire), with a single symbol creating a very basic image, or multiple symbols being used together to create more complex imagery (ex: combining “fire” and “sky” could lead to raining fire or meteors). The illusion starts out benign, only affecting the vision and hearing senses, but over time the illusion evolves in a number of ways. It begins to affect all senses, able to be smelled, touched, and cause real pain. It will even develop its own sentience, learning how to further evolve and change itself to better attack the target. Once the illusion has been allowed to evolve for ten minutes, it solidifies into reality, becoming very real and thus even being able to directly affect things other than the original target. These illusions are entirely self-directing and require zero thought or effort on the part of the user to maintain. Due to their automatic nature and self-directed evolution, they may turn on the user or otherwise abandon the original target. They will dissipate if the user willingly dismisses them (either by erasing or striking out the symbols that created the illusion), if the target is killed, or if the user is knocked out.
