Ezreal "Troublemaker" Francis

## Troublemaker

**Ezreal Francis**, known as the *Troublemaker*, is a young time-hopping thief that lived near the end of the *PROJECT-G/NEX War* and has exposed himself during *Legion-Renegade War*. However, he grew disappointed of the G/NEX as Fiona Vance was able to expand it slowly into the NEW/G through her leadership, forcing him to use his extraordinary abilities in an effort to reverse it, only for him to be classed as a fugitive and is on the run from the Legion, which his presence and actions were only found out lately in the cliffhanger of a new era.

## Biography

### Background

Ezreal is a daring adventurer who, unbeknownst to him, is gifted in the magical arts. He raids long-lost catacombs, tangles with ancient curses, tangling with timelines, and easily overcomes seemingly impossible odds that are supposedly going to kill him. He prefers to improvise his way out of any predicament, depending some on his wits and largely on his mystical Masadonian gauntlet, which he employs to fire destructive arcane blasts. One thing is certain: anytime Ezreal is there, disaster is not far behind. Or ahead. Almost certainly everywhere.

### The Instigator

As time goes by, Ezreal has gained the ability to reverse and manipulate time, akin to Benjamin Timewatcher. Acquiring a large amount of Nextech, this allowed him to tamper with history. one such endeavour was the current events that started the war known as *Bygone: The Uprising*. Upon watching the entire events of the PROJECT-G/NEX War, he has decided to tamper with the time, which ended up resulting in the rapid, impossible expansion of the NEW/G, despite being less than a few months since it was founded after the entire era of PROJECT has been over.

### Bygone: The Uprising

Becoming elusive thief in the far future, Ezreal is the true instigator that followed a very rapid pace of events that started a whole new war in the new era; The ultimate time hopper, He is responsible for rapidly speeding up the time after grasping the timeline of 3026 and subsequent years, which explained the implausible expansion of the NEW/G and Fiona's family, which realistically would take decades to expand in numbers.

#### Anti-Corporations

Fiona Vance knew of his existence when she had a campaign to ransack all suspicious corporations. As a result, he has engaged with private conversations through an encrypted communications channel, refusing all attempts of coming outside through her words. As a result, Ezreal has decided to lounge himself with the planet's culture by watching all sorts of sports events, television shows and even military parades. He managed to dodge Fiona's sight when walks into the most popular place in the Panamoan Republic, High Iron.

#### Unshakeable Revelation

Ezreal was overjoyed to learn that the NEW/G had been divided after their headquarters had been destroyed by the renegades' superweapon, the CHIMERA. As a result, he took advantage of the opportunity to inspect the wreckage while avoiding any S.O.L.A.C.E personnel stationed in the building's ruins. When he left, he stole an apartment and used it as his own safehouse, effectively hiding his presence from Fiona, who has a tracker implanted somewhere in his own body. He even attempted to remove the device but was unsuccessful. When the Legion reunited a few months later, he lost his happiness.

At some point, he knew it was time for him to move.

#### New Heroes, Another Ultimatum

Ezreal has emerged into the media, after the Corporate Renegades and S.O.L.A.C.E have been defeated by the Legion, and later their allies, he was finally detected by Fiona Vance, which he saw Gwyneth Forgesteel, Benjamin Timewatcher and the warrior Spartacus Brightspear has emerged to hunt him down, which he continually evades them as they found out his true actions, and his acts of tampering with time itself. As a result, his out-of-the-box thinking has caused the Legion to conclude their hunt against him to be futile, ending in a series of loops and endless mayhem.

He was overjoyed since he didn't mind being pursued by the legionnaires. Ezreal was attempting to choreograph and observe the convergence of the legionnaires and an unknown foe, to which he notes that it is massive in dimensions and a hybrid of a mech and a sentient being, the ultimate lifeform. Curiosity piqued, he looked deep into the megacorporation's history, including everything from their rise and collapse, technology, inventions, hidden facilities, and everything relating to PROJECT itself. As he sifted through the mecha files, which the ominous PROJECT ANNIHILATOR piqued his interest the most, confirming that it matched his description of the silhouette he had just seen in awe.

Unknown to him, someone also emerged from the heavens to stop the newly resurrected tyrant, once and for all.

#### True Ultimatum

##### It All Comes Together

Ezreal has repeatedly dodged the Legionnaires in order to avoid detection and arrest for his crimes, particularly his use of time manipulation, and is indirectly responsible for countless fatalities throughout the *Legion-Renegade War*. Furthermore, after Benjamin Timewatcher nearly grabbed him, he went off the grid for the first time, indicating that he is the only one capable of capturing the Time Wanderer himself. As he spends his time in his control room observing everything, he notices LORD ANNIHILATOR coming up on one of his screens, confirming his suspicions that he has returned to take his true revenge on nevanity. Clearly, he has an AI assistant that allows him to learn the information needed quickly.

Not knowing whether he can survive or not, he decides to find out for himself, if he will be spared from the impending carnage.

##### Legion's Discovery

Ezreal was closely scouting Eion Brightblast and Benjamin Timewatcher as they travelled through Avarshi in search of the truth regarding the country's strange phenomena. Ezreal quickly recognised LORD ANNIHILATOR was the culprit and reclined in his chair in the Control Room, knowing that the giant mecha was unaware of his existence and that he would gladly see the Legionnaires and Clemirosans die as a result of the Tyrannical Supreme's ultimatum, stating that it would be the best entertainment he could watch on a daily basis.

Sources confirm that the **Time Wanderer** has authored a fictionalised version of the events surrounding *True Ultimatum*, demonstrating his reckless and delusory character. According to the source, he purposefully portrayed the NEW/G in a negative light by depicting them as defeated by LORD ANNIHILATOR's army, while Meta Evangeline was murdered by him during their combat. Ezreal, on the other hand, makes no changes to the Clemirosans, faithfully depicting them as practically unstoppable. Worse, he incorporated two people that are entirely or partly imaginary into his fictionalised narrative. This consists of Crusher, and Galaxia.

The latter is supposed to be a female Valenthian who has been resurrected and given god-level magical abilities. He then checked his computer after a while of just watching the events unfold on the large screens, and he was astonished to discover who messaged him. It was Nightfall.

## Personality

Ezreal is a highly skilled thief who specialises in stealing incredibly valuable goods, assets, and artefacts of tremendous power. As a result, he is a reckless and ambitious young man determined to be the most cunning thief in Nexonia Prime's history. He is also devious, as proven by his interference with time, which resulted in the NEW/G's seemingly improbable expansion, but his actions did not affect the genuine of Madeleine Clement, the Lunar Frost. Ezreal admits that he does not care that he was indirectly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in a new war, and that he merely saw it as a sort of entertainment. This leads to the conclusion that he is an extremely irresponsible young man who indirectly initiated a conflict in the new era.

He is willing to see thousands of people die for the sake of entertainment, and he aims to keep out of problems, especially with the renegades, especially the Phantom Wolf, who has been shown to be the perpetrator in resurrecting LORD ANNIHILATOR himself. This is owing to Ezreal's boredom from collecting the majority of the rare artefacts he discovers in perilous regions. When the renegades were defeated and the *Legion-Renegade War* ended, Ezreal demonstrated his abilities, and as a result, he is on the run from the Legionnaires. Furthermore, having his own control room implies that he is a perfectionist and a clever planner who enjoys planning how events would unfold.

He has shown visible fear when Nightfall contacted him, claiming that their is no way the ex-renegade woman can locate the signal of his phone.

## Abilities

To enhance his survival and skills in the art of theft, Ezreal uses a specialised suit of armour that grants him great protection, the ability of teleportation and the use of Nextech enhanced plasma weaponry, with the weapon coming in a form of a small package, a left hand gauntlet. His teleportation ability is FAR superior to any Legionnaire, able to use it as many times as he desired, while the Legionnaires use their teleportation sparingly in a very strategic manner.

### Moveset

* **NEXTECH Force**: His reflexes and speed are increased by 98% whenever he successfully hits an enemy five times, or he scores a kill.

* **TECH BLAST**: Ezreal fires a Nextech plasma that detonates on hit. It has a maximum yield of five hundred degrees Fahrenheit, allowing it to destroy most objects in the process, all while causing massive heat burns to organic targets.

* **Essence Ring**: Ezreal sticks an orb to the enemy, serving as a conduit for his gauntlet to restore energy, should he hits the enemy sticked with the ring.

* **Magic Shift**: Ezreal time hops through time and teleports near the target to fire a devastating bolt of plasma.

* **Cleaving Arrow**: In his act of desperation or when he decides to show off his power, Ezreal winds up his gauntlet to form a bow, allowing him to fire a superheated wave of plasma at the target. It has unlimited range, and will only stop when it hits armoured surfaces.

### Skills

* **Indomitable Thief**: Ezreal is without a doubt history's most adept and intelligent thief. This was demonstrated by his theft of a substantial amount of Nextech in order to weaponise himself and influence the current timeline to his liking. As a thief, he can easily overcome tremendous odds, such as being caught up in a current conflict or being pursued by Lunar Frost. He always ends up escaping any form of impossible situations, likely through his skill, luck or the use of teleportation

* **Brilliant Tactician**: The Troublemaker always had the suited tactics for any situation, allowing him to survive anything out of pure skill and luck. He can literally enter a war without any weapons and still survive through his cunning mind of a tactician.

* **Master Combatant**: Ezreal is skilled in the use of ranged weapons, making him a highly capable combatant. However, this cannot be said the same for Hand-to-hand combat. This serves as his weakness, as anyone capable enough can simply resort to disarming his weapon, strip away his armour and knock him out cold for capture.
