Name: Christopher Leung
Age: 29
Hometown/Homeplanet: Washington DC, Earth
Personality: Calm and collected, Leung is quick to give a plastic smile. Any time he appears depressed, aggravated, or satisfied, it’s most often a part of some trick or tactic to dominate or persuade. Having that total control is key to him, and being able to walk and talk his way through any situation makes him one of the top Retainers for Genetics. That said, if need be he’s plenty prepared at any moment to let brute strength solve the problems that dialogue cannot, but tends to be rather calm in retrospect.
Leung does still possess emotions like any other person, but tends to be in rather severe denial of the emotions he has. A fair example of this is his relationship with Zoara as her retainer/handler, which tends to bounce around between a friendly, business-like one and also one with a lot of tension over morals and ethics. There have also been moments where the two of them have shared hive-mind-like thoughts, literally thinking the same statements or strategies. It’s unsure whether their feelings platonic, romantic or just pure hatred.
This sort of uncertainty surrounds Leung, making him rather hard to read by others and even difficult to be sure of himself. He tells himself he’s fully aware of his motives and identity, but (like his emotions) he goes into denial of any accusations when he doesn’t. Altogether it makes him into one of the more dangerous and complicated members of the Conglomerate.
Mana-Drive: Physical - Namely it works as an upper-body strength enhancer, giving him the powers to lift and punch with much more power than normal. Alternately, he can use the drive to keep his hands for steadier for weapon aim and recoil-prevention.
Rank And Branch:Corporal of the Marine Branch
GEAR: "The Economist"
PiNG: A digital pocket watch.
Skills: Battlefield and combat tactics, fairly persuasive, and fast reaction time (in both conversations and fights).
Weapon: Plasma Pistol
Bio: Leung was the child of two politicians on Earth, his mother specializing in economics and his father in the military. Finding the new advance in technology and territory interesting and in hopes of pleasing his father, he chose to enroll in the military academy as soon as he could, with the hopes of reaching a level of command early as he could. For the most part, he managed to pull off fairly good grades, but was especially talented in his lessons of combat tactics and weapon use. By the time he graduated, he managed to be persuasive enough with most of the academy’s authority figures to be promoted faster than nearly any other graduate of the academy, reaching the rank of corporal within 3 years of graduating.
After that his career came to a standstill but he was given more faith and duties from higher up. He was never put in charge of his own ship (mostly due to Leung not being too interested or proficient in ship mechanics), but was often placed in other missions as the main advisor and commander, frequently working in the management of GC Genetics. His position managed to be enjoyable enough for him to feel plenty satisfied.
His current, and longest standing assignment came along about three years before the events of the Celebration, when a Genetic by the name of Zoara Britanov became the head of the main branch of the GEAR division on Venus. The military, feeling concerned about having a powerful Genetic in charge of something so valuable (and the fact that she had come to the attention of a large group of anti-Genetic extremists), resulted in Leung assigned to be her retainer; a sort of handler that would make sure that she would stay both in-line with the military’s demands and safe from any threats that are posed to her based on her biology.
While this seemed like a fairly dull position, it proved become fairly interesting once it began. He found that planning and maintaining security for the Genetic proved a good exercise in his skills in tactics, and Zoara herself was a fine person to work with (though he often needed to keep her vocal sense of religion in check). Once the PiNG was released and even more attention was gained, more stress and threats have come along, a number of times with Leung needing to take action, but nothing has yet to arrive that Leung has felt he couldn’t handle. With Zoara’s high stance in the technology world, he’s currently escorting her to the 60th Celebration, with the main goal to keep her from pissing off the Conglomerate or any anti-genetic groups.
