CHARACTER INFO
NAME: Leonard Snart
CANON: CW's DCtv
CANON POINT: Legends of Tomorrow, 1x15
AGE: 42 (I think?)

HISTORY: Wiki history

FIVE STRENGTHS:

Level-headed: Leonard almost always presents a cool, calm, and composed demeanor. He rarely loses his temper (and if he has, boy, you better switch gears because it takes a lot to make him explode) and when necessary might try his best to diffuse a situation.

Patient: Known to stake out jobs for months at a time to plan every possible outcome so it goes off without a hitch. He'll bide his time in favor of less mistakes.

Analytical: Has a tendency to look at situations from every possible angle he can conceive before trying to advance further. Makes for an excellent planner/schemer.

Loyal: Though few manage to truly gain it from him, Leonard's loyalty runs deep once it's obtained. He will go to unreasonable lengths to protect what he views as "his", including family, lovers, or anyone in that odd friend category here or there.

Reliable: Never one to make promises he doesn't intend to or expect to be able to keep, Leonard is a self-proclaimed "man of [his] word."

BONUS STRENGTH! Secret Fierce Concern: It isn't something that goes for everyone, but for those fair few in his very deep inner circle that he actually truly cares about, the worry/concern/responsibility to them runs deep, as seen in the way he acts with his sister or 30-plus year partner. Just don't expect him to talk about it. Feelings are gross!

FIVE WEAKNESSES:

Emotionally distant: Leonard is emotionally closed off and nearly impossible to read based on body language or facial expressions. He keeps everything close to the vest and is rare to show anything more than surface emotions he wouldn't mind people seeing. Snark, sarcasm, aloofness are all things he's fine with showing, but don't expect him to get serious or deep with you unless he has a very, very specific connection with you. He also won't handle you getting emotional at him well, either. Additionally, he's also very physically adverse, in emotional contexts as well. Hugs or well-meaning hands placed on an arm aren't received well. He has a lot of hang-ups circling around growing up in an abusive home that never stopped being written completely into his programming.

Selfish: Though it has arguably lightened a bit through his semi-alliance with the Flash and trials he faced with the Legends, Leonard is still selfish at his core, and he'll always look out for himself or his crew before he puts anything angled like The Greater Good in the running. He is also highly opportunistic, citing being an unapologetic criminal as the reason for anything he does that may not line up with any other aspect of his personality.

Stubborn: What it says on the tin. He's stubborn as all get out. Good luck changing his mind once it's made up. The more you try, the more he'll dig his heels in. Also, he's contrary as hell, so sometimes he does this just to be a brat. Can also be petty and passive-aggressive, depending on the situation.

Obsessive: Once something gets under his skin, it's hard for Leonard to let go of it. Tends to also be a giant perfectionist, and with that comes a lot of self-deprecation when things don't go the way he'd like.

Possessive: What is his is his, period. He doesn't like sharing, and this trait extends easily to people in his inner circle. Sure, the people he considers part of his crew can have other friends or whatever, that's fine, but he might lash out if he feels like someone is trying to take what's "his" away from him.

BONUS WEAKNESS! Kids: Doesn't matter if they're toddlers or teenagers or anything in-between, no matter what he might rattle off about them, Leonard will always, always have a giant soft-spot for kids. (And he's in his 40s, a lot of you are "kids" to him, shut up and take it, if he chooses you like a Pokemon!)

THREE THINGS YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE IN THIS SETTING:

I definitely want to explore his death/sacrifice. It will take some serious wrangling to make it happen, since he's not very forth-coming with these types of heavy-handed conversations, so it will probably be a very slow-burn sort of deal that will happen over a long period of time and after getting some good, deep CR established. But it would be a good thing to explore his feelings how dare you accuse him of having those, gross!! about being part of the "Dead-but-suddenly-not" club. Psychological stuff like this is my jam, so I'm always going to be down for it, and I like long-term things, too, so win/win, here!

The criminal/villain > legend/hero shift he's gone through. A lot has changed for him over the last couple of years and figuring out where he sits on the ever-sliding scale of good VS evil is a weird thing that, while he won't personally focus on it much, I'd like to explore for sure! He's still, to a big degree, who he has always been, and some of those core parts (even the bad ones) will never change, but a lot already has, and he has to try to reconcile who he's always been with who he is now.

He will definitely be investigating the ever-loving hell out of the city, this organization and it's missions. Especially given what he just gave his life for and everything ending up the way it did for his crew. He will be heavily suspicious and a lot of the front-end stuff for Leonard will come with looking into all those game mechanics and asking questions and demanding answers, etc... (But ultimately, cagey as he is about the whole ordeal, he agrees on the account of:
1. This sounds a lot like what he was already doing back on the Waverider so, hey, familiarity is a thing, he's a creature of habit, what can ya do?!
2. If there's another set of Time Master-types out there, someone's gotta bust 'em, may as well be him, and the best work for something like that will be done from the inside.).

POWERS/SKILLS: Powers

N/A

Skills

Capable fighter/brawler + high pain tolerance: Leonard has proven on multiple occasions to be able to hold his own in any unarmed fight he finds himself in, even when he's inferior to his opponent. He has also proven to have a very high tolerance to pain.

Proficient marksman: Generally prefers to avoid killing when possible, but has a well-built knowledge and accuracy with firearms.

Skilled memory: Arguably almost eidetic, his obsessive nature for details makes him a good choice if you need someone to keep a lot of details at hand. He's very observant and likely to remember small things to recall when they seem necessary later.

High intellect: Arguably his most dangerous trait (if you're on the opposite team as him, at any rate!), Leonard is highly intelligent, despite never finishing high school, and presumably being largely self-taught on many of the things he knows, including considerable knowledge about things such as biology and engineering. He's one of those "knows a little about a lot" types.

Master tactician: Timing, precision, and preparation are three big key elements he has a great focus on when making plans. He also trusts his gut instincts when something feels off, even going as far as to consider it nearly like a sixth-sense.

Skilled engineer: While he's no engineering genius, Leonard is skilled in electronic engineering because of his father's insistence in bringing him on heists when he was young. Memorized the structure of a complicated gun made by an actual genius engineer, and even added modifications to the original model.

Expert thief/escape artist: As a career criminal, Leonard is highly skilled in an array of ways: pick-pocketing comes almost second nature; he's also pulled off big jobs such as armored car heists, jewelry theft, and bank robbery with relative ease. An impossible perfectionist, he spends inordinate amounts of time planning all of his jobs before he sets out to pull them off, and ever the competitionist, he'll go back again if a job fails.

Given this line of work, he's become highly skilled at evasion and escaping if he does end up captured; has reportedly even broken out of prison on more than one occasion.

Persuasive/charming: Comes with the criminal history; he can be a great con artist when he feels it's necessary. He can even set aside some of his usual social hang-ups for the sake of a job.

INVENTORY: Nada. He didn't have anything but the clothes he was wearing at the time~
