Appearance:

Chinese-American mix, Levi is American born in Providence, Rhode Island 26 years ago. She is thin at 5’2” tall barely weighing in at 99 lbs fully dressed with long dark hair, light highlights and hazel, slightly larger-than-average eyes and she gets away with wearing just about anything.

Levi wears loose fitting clothes often with hoods or large scarves that can act as hoods. The hoods act as her mask by concealing her face from observers and the loose fitting nature also conceals her general size, shape, and to some degree her gender. Her intangibility power aids in keeping her clothes from ever snagging or interfering with her infiltration and shadowing tasks.

Personality/Origin/Current situation:

Personality traits: Negativistic, Unstable, Natty

Personality: Levi today is dark and often times distant; a far cry from her old excited, happy go lucky self. Her recent gifts came with a heavy cost through physical trauma and then she was tricked into harming people that most likely didn't deserve it. A side effect of Levi's gifts also causes her to suffer from hallucinations and headache episodes that can drive her to very different corners of her dark personality. Deep down the shadow of her former self still exists, but its weak with the weight of her past.

Quirks: Smokes cigars, collects odd trinkets, prone to loss of appetite when stressed and hair twiddling

Origin:Her family, two older brothers and a sister, have fallen out of contact with the death of her father and mother that died overseas on a humanitarian mission when Levi was just 15. Born in Rhode Island, she moved to Illinois to attend the UChicago for law on scholarship.

While attending school she partied a little harder than most and met her boyfriend who got into trouble with a loan shark and she tried to bail him out by volunteering as a Swiftgarde test subject. She hated the tests she was put through and still suffers from the headaches and hallucinations. However the tests proved to be a success, granting Levi her gifts, and Skygarde offered her a job as a Runner, someone that took care of special jobs. The loan shark was paid off and the money for continued work was too good to turn down, and Levi didn't know to what extent she was being deceived.

Levi eventually learned Swiftgarde was manipulating the truth to hurt the wrong people; innocent people. However, by the time she learned, Levi had already crossed the line that bloodied her hands when she intercepted information that was meant to give advance warning of an attack on a facility that based Doctors Without Borders.

When she learned the truth including the startling similarity between the job she performed and the events leading to her parents death she broke off from Swiftgarde and eliminated the team she had been working with.

The Mysterious Man, was Levi's trusted contact. He was the same person that recruited her as a Runner, trained her to control her gifts, helped her with mundane tasks; he acted like a father to Levi. He gave her the lead about a tech that could hack into Swiftgarde's servers and transfer encrypted data to the internet exposing Swiftgarde for what it was. However, when Levi tracked down, stole and activated it, the tech, also just a small metal sphere, unexpectedly burrowed into and merged with her body. Levi was horrified and tried to phase it out, but she couldn't seperate herself form it. Moments later she was forced to flee Swiftgarde's security forces from the server room at Swiftgarde's HQ.

Levi wanting answers, tracked down The Mysterious Man and confronted him. Before she could say anything The Mysterious Man with his back to her in his chair raised his gun to his head and said, "We never had a choice," before he pulled the trigger. Levi was left with unanswered questions and conflicting feelings about her relationship with The Mysterious Man.

Current Situation: She recently completed her law degree and passed the Bar but is working as a PI and moonlights as a vigilante thief to pay the bills. She is trying to learn anything she can about the technology she has inside her while trying to simultaneously bring down Swiftgarde as penance for her past crimes. Many of her leads on the tech have been dead ends, but she has been successfully acting as a thorn in their sides at least on a street level.

Levi lives alone, in a bad part of town, and while she isn't always pleasant, the tenants of her building have come to accept her despite her dark behavior and unstable personality.

Her boyfriend Jim now ex, hasn't been seen since before Levi left Swiftgarde, not that she has given him much thought.

Villain:

Swiftgarde is a corporation specializing in espionage. They are masters of misdirection and concealing lies within truths. Their strength lies in their network, adaptability, the gifted Runners they have working for them, and their influence and power in the political and business world. Rarely are they ever in a situation where an outcome doesn't benefit them in some way. The faces that represent Swiftgarde are never simple villains, they are often just people trying to keep up in a corporate culture that runs on greed, power, and absolutes such as the Mysterious Man.
