LeAK

* Base
* Data Breach

## Appearance

LeAK is a person who is 6ft tall, looks to be around 21 years old, and who possesses an ambiguous appearance. Their gender is also unknown, and they do not seem to care if they are called by a male, female, neutral, or other types of pronouns. They are extremely lanky, having a wingspan of 78in (198cm).

They were much leaner during their first incarnation in DBNG, and weighed around 132 lbs (60 kg). Their most recent incarnation shows them as having a much more pronounced muscle mass and having a broader build, weighing in at around 175 lbs (79 kg).

Their hair is purple, with pink bangs at the front, and is styled with side swept bangs, and flipped up at the back, with an ahoge on the top of their head.

They wore many outfits, but the one they wore most often is an off-white turtleneck sweater with detached sleeves, an arm strap on one arm, bordeaux shorts on top of black spandex shorts, a knee sock on one leg and black boots. Their second appearance shows them in a different outfit, having a white shirt, an open gray peacoat, a pink tie and black slacks, while keeping the boots. They also have dark blue gauntlets, made of a Cierite alloy, with gray fingers on which they have put black half-finger gloves.

## Background

LeAK has forgotten much about their past.

But they do remember that a woman found them, and took them under her wing. She was the one who taught them how to fend for themselves, the one who taught them of the animals in the world,the one who taught them everything. And she was the one who gave LeAK their name, as they seemed to know instinctively how some obscure things work, almost as if their old memories "leaked" out at times. To them, she was both a motherly figure, and a friend.

But, after going through a Near-Death Experience, they managed to awaken their glitches. Those powers made LeAK change mentally. They went from being a calm, patient and composed being into an erratic, violent, and sadistic one.

And, almost like a virus, it was taking over them. So, to stop the spreading, she used a material known as a "Cierite" gem to create gauntlets able to seal LeAK's powers. But the damage was already done. Even so, the gem seemed to awaken further memories.

Now, LeAK wanders, in search of money to get Cierite, in order to unlock all of their memories.

## Personality

LeAK is a person of many faces.

They are able to both act friendly and calm, then extremely aggressive and sadistic in a matter of seconds. But, most of the time, they act playful, taunting, and somewhat laid-back. Still, they find it enjoyable to manipulate their words to create conflict, and they also enjoy spreading any kind of rumors. Against a target, they act extremely ruthless and unforgiving, except if its someone they know, then they act more like they usually do.

If they think someone's getting overzealous, they get ticked off making them stop being laid-back, and actually try harder for a bit. Whenever they become frustrated or ecstatic, they begin to show a tendency to attack with little to no regard to their own safety, often ending up severely damaging their opponent, if not killing them.

They value their time, whether it is to train, work, think, or relax, and so they find people who interrupt their time and talk a lot annoying. They do, however, tolerate them after some time.

Despite their unstable personality, they do care greatly about people who they decide to teach. However, they show how much they care about someone through their fists. They took the first half of this trait from Antinomia.

Also, contrary to what their violent tendencies might indicate, they are extremely articulate, and enjoy reading on things that concern Psychology, Philosophy, History and Technology. They will not admit it however. They also possess a large library of knowledge about Boxing, and the concepts that they develop thinking about it.

LeAK is horrible at naming things, so they have to copy names and concepts based off of whatever they can think of.

## Synopsis

### Cier/Pre-DBNG

Before being brought to the world in which DBNG takes place, LeAK was a Bounty Hunter and Duelist in the world of Cier. They strived in that world, in which no true government existed, beyond vigilantes and wanna-bes. The lack of institution made them quite notorious, as despite being a bounty hunter themselves, they were also targeted for their own bounty, and as such reduced the number of bounty hunters in Cier by a significant amount, raising their bounty even further. Their skills were much less developed, but they relied more on technique, deception and speed to compensate for their lower abilities. They also had a huge weakness, their extremely low endurance and durability. They possessed a surface level understanding of their "Glitching" and its versatile usages.

They eventually helped build a clan as a founding member, after defeating Max, their current leader, who wished to create a clan alongside them and a teen named Shizukesa, eventually being joined by an explosion addict, Dexploe, and a gravity manipulator, Wedy.

### Yin and Yang Arc

After waking up trapped in the DBNG universe, they went around beating up anyone they could find in order to steal their belongings, and get information out of them. While doing so, LeAK stumbled upon Jaden, with whom they had a close fight which they almost lost. After winning they stole Jaden's wallet to buy themselves more suitable clothes for winter.

Eventually, they walked into the Central Square Slums, in which they went around and searched for a place to stay at, taking on mercenary work requests all the meanwhile, eventually settling on an broken van, and the back alleys. During this period of time, their abilities grew an incredible amount, building their body to the point that they are able to take more hits than what they once did. They have also acquired a contractor license during that time, which serves as their only legally abiding document that provides them with an official identity.

### Tournament Arc

During this arc, Epsilon stumbles upon them and Jalen fighting each other, LeAK having a clear advantage.

LeAK appears after the fight between Maizen and Jaden, chatting with Epsilon before being ambushed by 10, whom they knocked down with a single jab.

### DBNG Non-Cannon

LeAK fought with Jaden in his base form and defeated him.

Then they had a rematch with him, after being tasked by Epsilon to do so.

## Powers and Moves

**Glitch Manipulation**

LeAK is able to manipulate attributes, both of themselves and of anything else.

**Usage on Self** : Using “**Glitches**” on themselves makes them enter a “**Glitch**” State. It is usually represented by squares of different colors, White, Pink, Blue, Dark Blue (on their gauntlets). This can change with the usage of **Humanoid Shape-Shifting**.

* **Intangibility :** LeAK, in their "**Glitch**" state, is untouchable by physical attacks.
	+ *Does not apply to any "non-physical" attacks, such as Energy, Magic, etc...*
* **(Aerial) Speed Change :** LeAK is able to instantly change how fast they go, in any direction by "**Glitching**", both on the ground and in the air.
	+ This also means that they can instantly accelerate to speeds upwards of Mach 1+.
	+ *This gives them a pseudo flight technique aswell.*
* **Humanoid Shape-Shifting :** Rarely used, “**Glitching**” also allows them to change their physical attributes. That way, LeAK can pass as someone else.
	+ This is limited to humanoids, and requires a strong focus. *Overuse of this ability can strain their physical state, and make them “**Glitch**” unintentionally.*
	+ *A side effect of this ability is that they can regenerate parts of their body passively, albeit slowly.*

**Usage on Others** : Using “**Glitches**” on something other than themselves allows them to modify the attributes of it.

* **Technological Error** **:** Using “**Glitches**” on any piece of digital technology to malfunction. This can cause it to turn against its user, if it’s controlled by an A.I., or shut down entirely.
	+ This ability has a range limit of around 5 meters.
* **False Data** **:** “**Glitches**” allow them to cause any information gathering powers, technology, or other things to be fed wrong info.
	+ This also applies to the natural senses of lifeforms and can be used to feint attacks to cause a reaction.
	+ This can also be used to increase any sensation, and make an attack feel more powerful, faster, etc. This power is seldom used due to LeAK ‘s mindset.

**Mixed Usage** : By manipulating both their own attributes, and those of another, they are able to unleash their most powerful moves. This requires more focus than regular “**Glitches**”.

* **Glitched World :** By using “**Glitches**” on the space around them, they can make anyone enter their own world, in which, unless LeAK lets them, people cannot move, and can be attacked freely. Any damage taken isn't physical, but is still felt.
	+ *Formally known under the names “Chronostasis”, and “Einherjar Joker”.*
* **Data Breach :** Using all available “**Glitches**” they possess, they can unlock a state called “**Data Breach**”, which allows them to gain massive amounts of power, speed, and endurance, in exchange for their sanity. This makes their intelligence lower.
	+ This can also turn against them, and, after overstraining their powers they have a chance to instantly “Glitch” out, making their physical body disappear for a while.
	+ LeAK can be forced to go into “Data Breach” if both of their gauntlets are removed from their arms.
	+ Only removing one causes them to go into a semi-transformed state, in which they somewhat retain their sanity, and get half of the power the fully transformed state would’ve given them.

**Intrinsic Powers**

* **Herculean Energy Quantity :** LeAK has an absurd amount of Energy stored within them, similar to Ki. But they are not able to tap into it due to having their "**Glitches**" override their usage.
* **Hysterical Strength :** Unlike most humans, LeAK is able to access beyond 65% of their muscle strength at all times thanks to their constant hysterical state.
	+ Hysterical Strength is a risk on their own body, as it could cause them to tear their own muscles and break their bones. But they don't mind.
* **Undying :** LeAK is unable to remain dead. They are able to resuscitate after some time, the length it takes depends on how exhausted they were prior to dying.
	+ In addition, if LeAK was the one to cause their own death, they resuscitate immediately. This however doesn't apply as long as LeAK is in a combat scenario.

## Abilities

**Misdirection**

Unlike most fighters, who rely on learning their opponents moves and fighting styles in order to adapt and gain an advantage over them, LeAK is instead able to force their opponent to do something that isn't in their own favor.

To do that, LeAK makes their opponent used to a pattern, a style, body tics and slight indicators to then break that pattern, using any opening that was created by their opponent becoming familar with it. This in turn confuses them and allows LeAK to deconstruct their opponent mentally, to the point of breaking them at times. LeAK is also able to read what their opponent will do through narrowing down what the opponent *can* do to only a few actions.

Compare and contrast **Adaptation**, a fighting style used most notably by Jaden and Biocent.

**Intrinsic Abilities**

* **Gifted Pugilist :** LeAK's extremely lanky build and strong arms lets them fight out-box from very far away, and their absurd acceleration and leg power lets them in-fight at close-range with great proficiency (in hand-to-hand combat).
	+ **Rushdown Expert** **:** Due to LeAK's lack of ranged moves (save for their gun), they had to rely on getting in close range, as fast as they can.
		- **Superhuman Agility**
		- **Superhuman Reflexes**
		- **Flash Step**
		- **Nigh-Absolute Speed :** LeAK seems to be able to be faster than almost everyone else, *even if by a small margin.*
		- **Fa jin :** Also known as Explosive Movement, LeAK possesses the ability to move their body with extremely quick acceleration, reaching their top speed nearly instantly.
	+ **Brawler Ruler :** In addition to their great speed, they also excel in striking with incredible force.
		- **Superhuman Strength**
		- **Air Strike :** Through punching the air with enough force, LeAK can cause the air to warp.
		- **鉄足 (Tessoku, lit. Iron Leg) :** Thanks to their Muay Thai training, LeAK possesses shins as hard as steel, allowing them to brush off attacks with them.
* **Mental Resistance**
* **Enhanced Intelligence**
* **Taunt :** LeAK taunts their opponent, vocally or by some other means. *It may have no effect.*
	+ **Threat :** LeAK threatens their opponent and lets their killing intent be shown, which in turn unintentionally releases their energy. *Visible through a black aura*.
	+ **Gibberish Strike :** LeAK spouts random nonsense adjectives, then says which strike they are going to land, before throwing a completely different attack.

## States and Transformations

LeAK's forms aren't as much forms, as much as they are mental states. Those states are represented by their eye color (to not be confused with Jaden and Rose's **Eye** **Powers**).

**Data Breach**

This is LeAK's strongest state, in which they sacrifice their sanity and rationality in order to gain massive amounts of speed, strength, and endurance. While in this state, their voice gains a more granular and digital texture, and is doubled at times, and their eyes turn arctic white, with black horizontal slitted pupils and two black outlines. They also act extremely aggressive and provoking. The longer they stay in this state, the more lines appear on their face, resembling black electric circuits outlined in cyan and pink coming from their eyes.

* **Supernatural Strength**
* **Supernatural Speed**
* **Supernatural Endurance**
* **Supernatural Stamina**
* **Indomitable Will**
* **Id :** LeAK draws upon their instincts to attack their opponent.
	+ **Feral State :** They are unable to think properly while in this state, leading them to abandon technique over violence.
* **Pain Empowerment :** Being hurt only makes them hit harder and faster.

**Time Limit :** Due to being a form that eats away at their sanity, the amount of time they can stay in this state is limited to around 5 to 10 minutes. They are forced out of it by the gauntlets mechanisms afterwards.

**Moves**

* **Tornado Haymaker :** A fast wild swinging punch thrown by spinning first, then throwing their fist straight at someone's face.
* **Growling Glitch** **:** A scream powered with "**Glitches**", that can damage anything in their vicinity. *Can also intimidate. (Variant of **Threat** (see in Intrinsic Abilities)*
* **Active Regeneration :** While in this state, their **Humanoid Shape-Shifting** is enhanced, allowing them to regenerate extremely fast on command (also applies to clothing). *It is not passive, and is painful*.
* **Circuit Breaker :** LeAK attacks continously with wild and forceful punches while their opponent is guarding, until they break said guard.

## Trivia

* They are able to speak English, French, and Japanese fluently, alongside some fundamental German.
* LeAK first originated from Cier, as a Hyun's Dojo duelist. They have a record of 1W - 0L.
* LeAK often says "**DIE!**". This is a nod to the fact that you will die. This is most often seen whenever LeAK feels either ecstatic, or frustrated.
* As LeAK possesses abysmal naming skills, many of their moves' names are based off different fields, which all have some sort of connection to themselves :
	+ Psycology :
		- **Hysterical Strength** is an increased usage of one's muscle strength, beyond what's considered normal, in extreme circumstances.
		- "**Id**" is a concept in Psychoanalysis (namely, impulsive desire).
	+ Electronics :
		- A **Data Breach** is when a data bank is broken into, leading to stolen info.
		- A **Circuit Breaker** is a device that cuts off electricity if there's too much current passing through.
	+ Martial arts :
		- **鉄足 (Tessoku)** is a play on 鉄拳 (Tekken), 鉄 : Iron ; 拳 : Fist
	+ On top of that, any ability that uses "Glitching" has been named by Antinomia.
* Their voice is able to change. Usually, it is one that sounds neither masculine nor feminine, but it can take either one of those aspects.
* Similarly, they seem to speak in many different ways. They can speak in a very relaxed manner, an (overly) polite one, or in an extremely rude manner. They also tend to copy how the other person is talking to mock them.
* They are Agender. Meaning they lack genitalia.
* The reason why their name is written that way, is because Antinomia thought that "It looks cooler that way, does it not ?". They didn't understand her antics until recently.
* Despite loving rain, they show a clear dislike of snow and winter.
* They yearn for vast green plains, which is where they used to live with Antinomia. But they will strive in the cities.
