Passive AbilitiesGeneral Speed â It was not simply Leoâs too speed that was affected by the SPARTAN process; it was how fast he could get to that speed that was astounding. Leo could hold a sprint at an impressive 45mph and can reach that top speed in only a few thrusts of his legs. The Mako energy infused with his muscular structure allows for explosive movement with minimal effort. It effects not only movement but his reflexes as well, but that is more contributed to his thought processing.
Thought Processing - With the Mako energy flowing through his blood stream, it has been absorbed into his mind strengthened specific neuron pathways such as those which process the information from the various senses and which send commands to the various limbs.
Superior Strength - While his body wouldn't show it by the size of his muscles, Leo possesses a natural strength to rival that of a strong man; which can increase as the Mako energy from his blade is felt.
Keen Senses - Due largely on part to his superior thought processing all of Leos senses have found a 200% increase. This allows him to see further and in more detail, pick up on scents a half mile off and track them, able to hear a snapping twig in silence from 400ft away and provides a general ability to sense energy levels.
Materia
(Abilities listed with Materia)
Battle Materia Itâs worth noting that these are not the only abilities one will see. They are the base abilities for Leos Materia usage.
FireFireball - Varying in sizes, Leo is able to focus the fire Materia between his two palms and create a fireball which can be thrown.
Flaming Spear - A ranged attack, the energy of the flames would become present in whichever hand is in use, before an aerial punch would release a flying flaming spear which would move at 50mph until making contact with something.
IceIce Blade - By focusing the energy of the Ice Materia to his hands he can freeze the surrounding moisture in the air, creating a blade of ice. Even throwing knives.
Ice Pillar - Using whatever moisture is available , a pillar of ice can be erected beneath Leo or in a radius of 50ft around him.. Depending on the water available the pillar can be small or large.
Lightning Lightning Clap - While focusing on the energy of the lightning and rubbing his hands together Leo can bring large or small amounts of electricity to his hands. By clapping his hands with his fingertips towards his target, he can create a lightning bolt to attack his target.
Lightning Orb - Much like his fireball, but with the warm up of the lightning clap, Leo can create a throwable orb of lightning that could act like a contact grenade or could be detonated on a whim to cause a massive electrical surge upon the nearest lead.
EarthEarthen Wall â When placing the Materia into the Guardians Pauldron Leo could, at a whim, create a wall of earth infront of whenever the Pauldron is pointed. It is a default action of the Pauldron with the Earth Materia inside.
Stones Throw - By fpcusing on the Earthen Materia and slamming a body part into the ground Leo can tear a large hunk of stone fr the ground and send it flying through the air.
Earthen Dome â By placing the Earth Materia into the central connector and dropping his stance Leo will be surrounded by a thick dome of stone.
BarrierInsta-Barrier - Holding this Materia in his hand will make a meager, light blue, one hit break barrier against energy attacks appear in his opposite hand. Useful for deflection.
Tough-Insta Barier - By placing the Materia into the appropriate slot on the Pauldron the energy would take 3 seconds before a barrier would spring to life, capable of defending against a 5 second energy attack, depending on the overall strength. The barrier would dig into the earth 4 inches for support, raise to a height of 7 feet and wrap halfway around his body and is a glimmering light blue, like Mako energy.
Full Body Barrier - This barrier would take a full turn to charge, as it would be the only barrier which would allow for a prolonged mobile defense against energy attacks. Once stored appropriately, the Materia would surround him head to toe in a light blue aura. The more turns that go into charging this barrier, the more energy damage resistance it will provide and the longer it will last. One turn is 25% reduction. 2 turns is 50% reduction and 4 turns is full powered.
WindThe wind Materia that Leo holds is mainly used to enhance is natural mobility. By placing the Wind Materia into his blade it will turn it into a flying blade which is under Leoâs command. Giving him access to transport at a momentâs notice.
