character information.
Name: Leon Kennedy
Canon: Resident Evil 2 (2019)
Canon Point: End of the game/leaving the city
Age: 21
(canon) Background: Wiki
Abilities: Leon is a rookie cop. He would have made it through basic training, so he has knowledge of and average skill with various firearms. Other than that, he's just your normal human.
Personality:
The start of Resident Evil 2 is also the start of a new stage in Leon's life. He's a young man, only 21, just out of the police academy and he's landed his dream job. It likely took some sacrifices to get there (in the original, his girlfriend didn't want to move to Raccoon City and dumped him before he left), but he knows what he wants and this is his first step.
A fresh-faced, idealistic, rookie, he mentions more than once that he joined the force to help people. Despite the police station and everyone who had been there being decimated, he still laments not coming sooner, convinced he could have made a difference somehow in the middle of the zombie outbreak. He bravely fights through hordes of zombies, determined to get himself and as many survivors out as possible, or even 'save the city'. It's obvious that he's naturally a very positive and optimistic person. He reassures everyone he runs into that they'll make it through this, never questioning that for a second. He also has some pretty cute dialogue while alone where he quietly reassures himself that he's 'got this'. And, even as police Lieutenant Marvin's condition becomes visibly worse and worse, Leon still won't accept that he'll have to leave him, only doing so at gunpoint when Marvin orders him to leave him.
Despite it being his first day, Leon seems to have what it would take to be a good cop. He remains calm under pressure, facing one hurdle after another. Not only does he have to face hordes of undead atrocities, but he also runs into other people in desperate situations. At one point, a man whose daughter is obviously about to turn holds him at gunpoint, not only does he remain calm and respectful towards him, de-escalating the tense situation, he also empathizes with the man, realizing he's already facing a terrible loss. While his companion, Ada, coldly insists they should 'terminate' the child, Leon convinces her to let the two go.
His youth, inexperience and naivety are apparent throughout the game. He is far too idealistic and trusting. The situation mentioned before with the man and his daughter could have gone wrong very quickly. Leon's decision to be sympathetic could have easily backfired and been taken advantage of. Ada herself lies to him and manipulates him throughout the game to blindly help her and he never questions it until he's told point blank that she's lying.
Just like his blind faith in Ada, who lies when she first meets Leon and claims she's FBI, he also seems to blindly put his trust in the good intentions of authority figures. When told by a reporter he runs into that they had proof that the chief, a man Leon hasn't even met, was dirty, he refuses to believe it, or even let the man out of his cell, in the middle of a zombie outbreak. It's almost as if Leon would prefer the real world to be black and white. He seems to have a very stiff sense of justice. Not only does he condemn the reporter he runs into, maybe because he's already in a cell, but he also doesn't budge in his condemnation of the desperate acts of the scientists who ended up causing the virus outbreak. He shows concern for the scientist when she's injured, but under normal circumstances, it's obvious he would have made sure she was uninjured but would have still arrested her to have her face justice.
Why do you feel this character is a good fit for the setting?
Leon has just made it through a zombie outbreak, which included making hard choices in order to survive and seeing people killed in terrible ways, not to mention unspeakable monsters. Still, he's very determined and what he's just gone through is so insane that maybe he did imagine it? If so, he'll be determined to figure out who he is and why he's here, not to mention help those around him.
