Name: Leon October Darrian

Codename: October

Age: 18

Sex: Male

Source of Powers: Mutation/Magic

Description of Powers: Leon is able to freeze time and move about in it, but is unable to affect anything he was not already in physical contact with. This includes structures and objects such as doors.

Powers gained by: a natural mutation brought about by magic. As some genes are only activated when the person is exposed to certain elements it is doubtful Leon's powers ever would have been if he had never been saved by a magic using hero. The hero cast a protective sheild on him to prevent any further injuries from being inflicted on him after he was assaulted by two muggers.

History: Leon was raised in the city by both of his parents on Elric Island. While his family was indeed a wealthy one he was in no way a spoiled child. His life was an average one for someone in his position, he attended private schools where he did well, and simply enjoyed normal things such as hanging out with his friends. One evening as he was walking home from a friends home he was abruptly assaulted by two men. They beat him until he gave them his wallet, but then countinued to kick him when he refused to give them his ring, a family heirloom. It was here that he was saved by the magic using hero. It was about a year later when his powers developed. Leon managed to anger a kid form his class, so after school the angered fool decided that jumping Leon was a good idea. When he tried to Leon simply disappeared, or at least that's how it seemed to those watching. Really he just panicked, this brought his power out, so when everything suddenly froze he didn't waste time in running away. It was only later in Magdelene Park that he experimented with it. He told his parents the next day, and instantly regretted it when they began giving him a long lecture on using his abilities intelligently. Later that year his parents were on their way to a charity event when, while stopped at a red light, they were carjacked. His father was shot in the struggle. When his mother started screaming for help she too was shot. Neither survived. The carjacker was able to escape, but Leon, realizing this probably wasn't the only time they would do somehting like this, became a vigilante in hopes of one day capturing the carjacker. After graduating from High School he began devoting himself full time to his "other" work. One evening while searching for someplace where he could help he saw Griceron(frozen in mid-kick) taking down a burgeler. He approached Griceron after he finished and, after a few weeks of teaming with him and Viseur, joined the Underground.

Other Details: Leon's main responsibility in the group is to go out and find where crimes are happening in the city. Once several have been found he retrieves his teammates, places them at the crime scenes, and unfreezes everything.
