Bond

**Bond**, full name **Bond S. Jameson**, is a boss character created by DXL44. He is a ghost that has a wide arsenal of guns and other firearms who is hired by Quinzoid to kill the player. Bond first appeared in DXL44’s Gyntening level Peer Gunt, and then returned in Classic Pursuit.

## History

### Past Life

Bond was a hitman when he was alive as well, using a different name than his ghost alias. He was interested in researching weapons of all shapes and sizes that could be used to his advantage. In his travels, he learned some magic that was used to manipulate firearms, but it rarely was powerful enough.
His cause of death is unknown, but is rumored to be due to an embarrassing loss against a target. Bond himself doesn’t prefer to speak about the incident. His death greatly improved his abilities as an assassin, strengthening his formerly weak gun magic to the point where he could create, summon, and control any gun he requires.

### Another World

Bond made his first in-level appearance in Peer Gunt. During this level, he shot Field dead. He failed to stop Hal (the player) in this level, but warned Hal that they can’t run forever. He later appears in "Classic Pursuit" with a much larger arsenal, but failed again due to running out of time. He warned the player that his “Client” was fed up with waiting. After the fight Hal found out that the Client was from the same location referenced on Purpura’s bounty, and left for it.

## Description

### Appearance

Bond is a white circle with a red eye in the center of his body. He has a cross-hair formation around his entire body. His two hands are circular, with one circle on the inside and another circle ring on the outside.

### Personality

Bond is a determined and appropriately focused fighter. He never lets up on his target, and stops at nothing to get the job done. He is irritated easily, especially by anyone in his way. Bond won’t hesitate to kill someone simply because they are annoying. Despite his serious nature, Bond takes enjoyment out of his job, and has fun shooting down an opponent with a wide variety of weapons only limited by his imagination. He can be a bit of a show-off with this.

### Abilities

Bond is capable of short-range teleportation and the possession and manipulation of guns, bullets, and related things. He has the ability to manipulate, possess, summon, and control any gun-related weapon, whether it’s his own or not. Due to being a ghost, his powers do not work in sunlight or daytime.
