*"As much— As much as I'd like to.. Get rid of this... It keeps following me."*
—Levi to Matthew Drake
**Remembrance**, known to the public as **Leviathan 'Levi' Goffee**, is a young metahuman residing in Neo Arcadia and presumably an escaped test subject from a mysterious organization that granted him his current abilities. He is currently a vigilante and member of the renowned Arcadian Rebels, whilst also secretly working as an associate of Matthew Drake.

## Biography

### Early Life

Much of Leviathan's life is still a mystery, however, it is presumed that he was held in a lab and experimented on, which in turn gave him the powers that he now possesses.

Due to the same experimental program he was a test subject for, Levi was incapable of attending secondary-level education.

### A New Chapter

#### Fresh Start?

Through still unknown means, Leviathan escaped his confinement and fled towards Superlative Coffee in the Downtown area of Neo Arcadia, where some of the Arcadian Rebels were hanging out in their civilian alter egos at the time.

Having undergone a very stressful situation, Levi nearly blacked out after entering the coffee shop, to which Tia Calinao attempted to aid him, unaware of Levi's unstable abilities. When the young Rebel made contact with him, the two exchanged memories in an intensive shared vision.

After witnessing some of Tia's most traumatic past, Levi was sent further into a panic and continued to resist the Rebels' attempts to aid him. The situation escalated until he was backed against the window of the second floor. As tensions continued to arise, Levi had a brief physical confrontation with Jason Kade, in which both also exchanged memories.

Once the conflict had been settled and Leviathan was calmed down with the help of the Rebels present in the scene, the group of vigilantes was forced to take in the young fugitive due to his knowledge of their secret identities.

#### Vigilante Trainee

After being found out by the Arcadian Rebels, Levi began training along with some of the Rebels' members and allies, including Oz Hellas, who showed him the true capabilities of his powers. Along his training, Leviathan helped Lightworker, another Arcadian Rebel, recover memories that had been lost to them long before.

### Levi Alone: Unhealthy Coping

#### Breakdown, Breakdown!

After the end of the Entertainer's schemes at the asylum, Levi spiraled into madness, propelled by his powers making his emotions unstable. In an extreme case of denial, Levi's mind completely blocked out the memories leading up to Tia's death on June 29th. In his delusion, Levi accidentally caused a fire in the french pastry shop, Pâtissieres du Voyager.

After his breakdown at the pastry shop, Levi had a new goal in mind, avenging Tia's death. This led him to revisiting Valsky's remains, and then tracking down Scott, who had indirectly caused Tia's death in the midst of the fight at the asylum. Upon finding Scott, an unhinged Levi threatened to kill the old man, only to back down once he saw that a little girl from the asylum was following him. Beaten and broken, Levi pardoned Scott and fled ashamed into the alleyways.

#### Ocean's 2

Unbeknownst to Levi, he had been followed into the alleyways that same day, by none other than the infamous Matthew Drake. Though they had a rough start of a conversation, Drake eventually persuaded Levi into joining him in his heisting of the docks. Less than a week later, Levi would perform his first hit on the dockyards along with Drake. Although their relationship was strictly professional, the two opened up to each other as they departed the scene.

The two would continue their partnership until Levi opted out of the heisting business, after a surprise meeting with a mysterious female who he quickly related to on the docks.

#### Cooking Levi: Dinner with Homeless People

Levi returned once more to a jobless life in his lonely apartment, and he continued to live under such conditions, thanks to the earnings that his heisting life with Matthew Drake had given him. However, a lingering feeling of inadequacy and the guilt of his heist earnings set him off on a journey to find a new activity to keep himself busy and feel like he was earning said money. Eventually, he arrived at the Neo Arcadia Shelter for the Homeless, where he volunteered to cook weekly for the people living at the shelter.

Throughout the rest of October and November, Levi would make a habit of cooking different dishes, ranging from Potato Souffle, to Lasagna, to other various cheap dishes which he would then bring over to the shelter to feed the residents. In the months to come, Levi would meet with a variety of wild encounters, such as Clark's visit to John's apartment next door, and even an unexpected meeting with a mysterious figure on his way to the shelter.

#### Weirdest Party Ever

In the eve of Halloween, 2020, Levi and the rest of the Rebels attended a Halloween costume party at an estate far out the city. Although initially reluctant due to a lack of costume and friends, he eventually opted to attend regardless. With an outfit that inadvertently mirrored the attire of his Earth-3 counterpart, Levi fell victim to the spell of the party's host, which turned him into his accidental costume, much to his dismay. Along the way, Levi met with another friend's own Earth-3 counterpart, who disguised herself as a cosplayer.

When the party-goers were led to the underground mine beneath the manor and everyone was returned to normal, Levi and the rest encountered a recently resurrected Creon, standing on a stage and awaiting their arrival. After a brief dialogue with Creon, a fight erupted in which Almanac, Reverie and Tiresias confronted the resurrected counterpart, but were promptly defeated by the counterpart's finesse and skill. Once the more experienced vigilantes had been beaten, Remembrance stepped into the action, and with the aid of the experience he gained from "tagging" Almanac, Titanium and the lessons from Matthew Drake, he was capable of putting up a longer fight, eventually culminating in a team attack in which Remembrance used his signature move **Sensory Shock**, to disable Creon long enough to have Tiresias deal the finishing blow. In his deathbed, Creon asked about the quality of the show he had put on, to which Remembrance replied positively, now empathizing with the fallen counterpart.

After the event finished, Levi reunited with the cosplayer only to have her reveal her identity as Tiara Calinao's counterpart. In a very emotional and conflicted exchange, Levi bid his farewell and wished the counterpart good luck in her journey before returning home by himself.

## Physical Appearance

Leviathan is a young Caucasian male, standing just below the American male height average at 5'9". He has dark hair, which he sports in a relatively short, curly hairstyle. He currently lacks any facial hair and body hair due to unknown reasons, though it is presumed that the experiments made on him inadvertently halted certain physical changes that would've come with puberty. He is quite slim and shows no signs of muscles, even though he has subjected himself to extensive training to keep up with his peers.

His apparel is not all too varied due to his difficult financial situation. His casual outfit consists of a white t-shirt underneath a black and green hoodie, as well as a pair of black chinos pants and old, worn blue running shoes.

His training outfit replaces the white t-shirt for a black one, as well as switching out the black chinos for green camo pants and a pair of boots.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Extrasensory Perception:** Leviathan has the ability to acquire information through means other than the five conventional human senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). This vast ability grants him a large repertoire of sub-abilities that allow him to experience the world in a multitude of unique ways.
	+ **Psychometry:** Levi is capable of extracting information of an object's past or a person's memory through physical contact. Initially, this superpower was unstable, and could backfire on Levi, instead showing the person that touched him his own memories, instead of the other way around. Since his first meeting with the Arcadian Rebels, Levi has trained his precision with this ability, and is currently capable of directly learning specific details through instantaneous physical contact, as opposed to extended visions. Levi blames this ability for pushing the burden of other people's traumatic past onto him, which he wouldn't need to otherwise deal with. His extrasensory abilities were coveted for uncovering information regarding artifacts.
	+ **Precognition:** Levi's psychometry can be reversed and used to see potential futures of a person or an object that he comes into contact with. This ability has seen much less use than his retrocognition and has yet to be properly trained, though it is presumed that this ability developed into another sub-ability of his.
		- **Blindsight / Flash Precognition / Night Vision:** After being temporarily blinded by the smoke and ash inside the burning house that the Entertainer had trapped them in, Levi developed the ability to see highlighted outlines of every object in the room with a 360 degree view. This superhuman vision is also characterized by a certain "lag", where Levi will be able to see a couple seconds into the future. This ability can be utilized in conjunction with his empathic vision for an even better sight, at the cost of irritating his eyes and possible headaches.
	+ **Empathy:** Levi has the ability to visualize a person's emotions in the shape of colored blobs. This was one of the earlier abilities that Levi developed, and has become a near-passive ability that he has presumably internalized and evolved to the point where he is capable of recognizing someone's emotional state, even if he does not consciously activate the ability. This ability shows Levi a person's true emotions, and cannot be fooled by a target's acting, unless said target can actually change their own emotional state at will. The only person that has managed to somehow circumvent this ability or hinder it, is Eden Gates. Levi blames this ability, just like his psychometry, for shoving burdens he wouldn't have otherwise needed to deal with onto him.
* **Psychic Shield:** After being subject to many experiments involving remote and forceful activations of his psychic abilities, Leviathan has developed an immunity to psychic abilities. Thanks to this, he is immune to incoming psychic attacks, mind control, illusions, and has shown to be capable of enduring his own visions without lasting consequences, going so far as to being able to stand back up in a fight whereas any other subject of his visions would be staggered.

### Potential Powers

When Leviathan comes into contact with Oz Hellas' power-enhancing ability, Levi's abilities temporarily evolve, granting him unique powers that he is otherwise unable to utilize by himself.

* **Clairvoyance:** When his powers are augmented, Levi's extrasensory perception evolves into clairvoyance, which allows him to disconnect his consciousness from his physical body and move as a metaphysical sentry, capable of perceiving sights and sounds remotely.

### Abilities

* **Skilled Combatant:** Having "tagged" both Almanac and Titanium in their first meeting, and Almanac again in later training sessions, Levi was able to absorb some of their combat expertise and internalize it for his own use in the field. After settling down with Tia in their apartment and finding a job as a counselor's assistant, Levi continued to train his combative skills, and showed impressive feats in his duel against Creon, where he merged his abilities into his fighting style and managed to stay in the fight longer than even Reverie, or Tiresias himself.
* **Keen Intelligence:** While not a mastermind like other members of the group, Levi has a keen deductive mind and has shown a knack for learning, as he has continued to rapidly catch up in his studies.
	+ **Skilled Tactician:** An esteemed associate of Matthew Drake, Levi has learned to put his deductive skills to use in battle and to strategically strike after finding weak spots in an opponent. Outside of battle, Levi is also proficient in creating tactics to approach a situation where stealth and finesse are required.
	+ **Culinary Skills:** Leviathan developed a passion for cooking soon after joining Tia in her apartment as he was often left to think of simple but satisfying dishes to prepare for himself with little to no ingredients at his disposal.

## Weaknesses

* **Human Vulnerabilities:** Leviathan, albeit a superpowered individual, still possesses a human body, and as such, is still vulnerable to a wide variety of dangers, most notably, excessive blunt trauma. Though durable and with great stamina, Levi does have his limits and can be overpowered by stronger opponents, outclassed by more experienced enemies and overwhelmed by more powerful foes.
* **Overexertion:** As an indirect result of the experiments done on him, Levi's body reacts differently to overexertion than others. Instead of falling to the ground exhausted, Levi will freeze and reach a vegetative state that will last for as long as he is in a critical state.
* **Hyper Sensitivity:** Levi's abilities, though great, did not come without a cost. Objects with extreme emotional baggage, or people with unstable emotions or heavy trauma, may inadvertently trigger Levi's abilities, even now, after months of training to keep them under control.

## Techniques

* **Sensory Shock:** Thanks to his continuous training of his abilities, Levi has managed to turn one of his most blaring weaknesses into a devastating ultimate technique. When grabbing hold of an enemy, Levi is capable of unleashing a tremendous psychic discharge containing his own life experiences and his target's in a split second. The inability of the target's senses to deal with the abrupt stimuli in such a short time-span will create a sudden shock that renders the target immobile and short circuits their senses. It has been used twice by Levi, most notably against Windbreaker's Earth-3 Counterpart during the Earth-3 invasion, and Creon when he came back one last time during the Halloween Party on October 2020.
* **Memory Pick-pocketing:** A very refined version of his psychometry, Levi can make instant contact with a person or object to immediately learn a single precise fact about the target. He showed this ability when he first met his would-be associate Matthew Drake, and with a single painless handshake, was able to communicate his name while also learning Matthew's.
