Character Concept
Legion generally keeps quiet around people he does not know very well. He will speak when he has something to say, but otherwise does not join in idle chit chat. Once he gets to know you and trust you, he opens up more and is more vocal.
While not a blood thirsty person he is not squeamish about killing someone in his way or in his face. He is not trigger happy. He will evaluate the situation and determine what the proper response is and is just as willing to punch someone in the face as shoot them. If he is out “gunned” he is smart enough to back down but will remember and look for a way to pay the offender back later.
For a good example, I give you one of my favorite quotes, “I won't be Wronged, I won't be Insulted, I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.”

Background
Born Luke Books, aka Legion, was the child of two corporate employees of Evo Corporation. His mom was the head of a research division that worked on designing customized vehicles and other items for those metas who have difficulty with normal human sized things. His dad was a chef who worked in one of the fancier restaurants. Legion grew up going to some of the nicer schools and showed skills in both of the areas his parents specialized in. Life was good, right up until his junior year in high school. Someone in the corporation decided they wanted his mother's job. They conspired and set her up for stealing corporate secrets. The company reacted a bit harshly and sent some enforcers to the house. One thing led to another, and they killed both of his parents. He just happened to not be home. He was on his way home when he saw the corporate security group leaving his house. He watched them drive off as he came around the corner headed home. He was not sure what was going on, they had never had any corporate vehicles at their house before.
Upon entering his house, he found his dad lying on the kitchen floor, blood everywhere. He heard a noise from his mom's study and rushed in there to find her bleeding on the floor having been shot several times, but she was alive. He rushed to her side and was panicking when his mom grabbed his hands. She was able to explain that the corporation had accused her of stealing and sent a kill team. She warned they might return for him. She gave him the code for her safe and told him to grab whatever he thought he would need and to run. She made him promise and then she passed away. It took him a few minutes to gather himself, but then he moved into action. He went to the safe and found an Ares Predator V with three clips of ammo as well as a cred-stick. He grabbed all of it and then ran to his room and grabbed a large duffel bag. He stuffed it with clothes and his computer, then rushed to the kitchen and grabbed food that would not spoil. After looking around and snatching one or two other items he snatched a picture of his parents and slipped out the back door.
He stayed hidden till he was about a block away and then went out to the street and glanced back at his house. He spotted another corporate truck pull up and people exited it and entered his house. He hid and watched. Six people entered the house. Shortly after four of them came back out and started looking around. The way they held one hand inside their coats told him they had guns. He stayed hidden until they went back inside, then he ran and has been hiding and running ever since.
Now he makes his living as a Shadow Runner and is more than happy if his job causes a big corporation some problems, especially if it is Evo Corp. He managed to escape to Southern Florida and has been living the life of a Shadow Runner ever since.
