"'Bet I can shoot another arrow into that guy before he hits the ground."
Alias: Arsenal
Civilian Name: Leonardo "Leo" Cash
Origin City/Hometown: Star City
Sex: Male
Race: Human (Caucasian)
Height: 6 feet
Weight: 160 pounds
Age: 21
Birth Date: August 5th 2004
--------
Costumed Appearance: Having poured most of his resources into his gadgets, Arsenal's costume is a simple combat vest with a military jacket over it, and his mask is nothing more than a red bandana with eyeholes. He wears jeans with kneepads and athletic shoes.
Civilian Appearance: Leo's wardrobe is just about as complex as his alter ego: He wears a dark red hoodie and jeans. But now that his mask is off, you'll see a young, relatively good-looking man staring back, with his short auburn hair, piercing brown eyes, and a grin that could melt a heart of stone.
Icon: This, spraypainted on the back of the jacket and vest in red.
Costumed Personality: Arsenal is many things, but "stoic" is not one of them. He constantly and consistently taunts his opponents with various quips and one-liners. You might even say it's a coping mechanism. That being said, he has no problem killing bad guys. Maybe even in brutal ways, depending on the weapon. Sometimes he leaves the bad dudes alive if he can, but most of the time it's just easier to kill them. He does NOT hurt innocent civilians, though... Well, unless they're a dick.
Civilian Personality: Leo's personality recently is still the happy, charming, and funny guy he always was, just a lot more... Tired. You could say this is due to him being up all night most nights playing hero. Or not. Either way, he's a good guy, polite and such. Pretty passive as well, not really confrontational at all. Not to say he can't or won't defend himself if provoked, just that he's not usually the one doing the provoking.
-----Abilities-----
-Skills:
Skilled Freerunner
Skilled Scout
Expert Martial Artist
Expert Weapon User
Master Marksman
-Powers:
Minor Telepathy/Enhanced Reflexes
Arsenal's metahuman ability is slight telepathy, allowing him to read... Ideas. So he can't tell exactly what you're thinking, but he can read what the general impression is. For example, if you think about going out for a burger because you're hungry, Arsenal can tell you're thinking about going out for food. Likewise, in a fight, if you're thinking about throwing a right hook to Arsenal in the throat, he can read "Right punch". It's kind of like a sixth sense.
Incredible Luck
Arsenal finds himself in a few bad spots sometimes, and you might think he has the worst luck. Not so! Sometimes, Arsenal will pull off some sort of stunt that should have never worked. Most of the time, though, his luck comes in the form of improvised weapons. Gardening tools, a stray bottle, power tools, darts, a loose brick, traffic cone, a pencil, etc., all become useful weapons in his hands.
-Gadgets:
Trick Arrows
Ah, yes, alongside Arsenal's normal arrows, there's the trick arrows. Ice bomb arrow, flaming arrow, sleeping gas arrow, explosive arrow, taser net arrow, boxing glove arrow, and many more depending on the narrative need.
-Weapons:
To Arsenal, anything is a weapon, so he doesn't need any on him!
But, y'know, he still has some. Just in case.
Anyway, Arsenal is equipped with his custom recurve bow and arrows. His secondary weapon is a pair of FiveSevens he has holstered at his sides. If worse comes to worse, he has a knife sheathed in his vest.

-----Biography-----
Character History/Origin:
Leonardo Cash was a very smart and gifted child, born into a moderately wealthy family. When he was a boy, he was great at taking things apart and putting them back together, and built things for fun (including smoke bombs and complex paper crafts). When he'd started growing older, though, he realized he had a knack for hitting things really accurately. Leo joined the Archery club in high school alongside engineering classes, and graduated with solid A's across the board.
He was slated to go to college when his parents were murdered by a random junkie one night, on their way home from a dinner party. Leo was overwhelmed with grief, and deciding that he wouldn't be able to focus in college, he joined the military at 18, looking to harden himself. His natural skill with hitting targets allowed him to join the marines as a marksman. He'd always somehow know where the bad guys were and how they'd react.
The 2 years spent fighting in the military instilled a sense of excitement from Leo. Stopping bad guys was really fun. So when he was discharged for beating 5 of his fellow soldiers to a bloody mess (with nothing but a metal tray and a spoon, mind you) following a particularly hurtful comment, Leo found himself in a limbo of sorts, just staying at his old house and visiting his parent's graves. He'd stayed like this for a month or so before one fateful night, where he beat a would-be mugger (with nothing but a keychain) after somehow sensing the man coming up behind him.
It was on that night he'd thought to himself: "Why don't I just do this all the time?"
After a trip to a weapon's shop, a visit to the local hardware mart, and a breeze through a thrift store, Arsenal was born. He'd stalk the streets at night, bringing justice and arrow holes to every evildoer in his hometown of Star City. For extra funsies, Leo had created a few "trick arrows" of his own design, to help him shoot bad guys more effectively.
It didn't occur to him until another month after that night, when he realized that being a hero doesn't pay the bills, for him to just join social media, start blogging about being a masked hero and earn money that way. Today, he has thousands of visits on his blog page daily, and even has a subsribing system where people can just give him money. So by day, he's Leonardo Cash, an ex-marine between jobs. By night, he's Arsenal, a masked hero bringing retribution to the lawless, while taking a selfie.
Optional information:
Being from Star City, Leo speaks in a "Californian" dialect. It matches his fun-loving personality.
He's also ambidextrous, so he can shoot arrows at bad guys from any angle.
... Y'know, I'm not sure he's handling his feelings correctly, but hey, at least he's doing something productive.
