Background: Born in the slums of Paradise City, Levi was orphaned at a young age. Adopted by his uncle, Kenny, he learned to fight and survive the gritty streets of the Underground. When he was twelve, Kenny abandoned him and Levi formed a street gang. Years later, he is the leader of an underground vigilante movement that seeks to liberate the people from the corrupt corporation that rules over the people of Paradise City; Titan Corp. Levi doesn't have any cybernetic augmentations, believing them to be just another way for the system to keep tabs on the people of Paradise City.

Combat abilities: Levi possesses remarkable strength, speed and reflexes and possesses combat training with a variety of weapons and unarmed styles. He prefers to use two long thin swords. Attachment style: Avoidant.

Setting: Paradise City is comprised of three major districts, each of which are divided by high walls. Heavily guarded military checkpoints are the only official way to travel between districts. Wall Sina protects the upper class, Mitras, an opulent and lavish city of it's own, lies behind wall Sina at the heart of Paradise City. The Titan Corp headquarters is located in Mitras. The district of Trost is located behind Wall Rose. Trost is a bustling trade hub, where the Paradise City Police (PCPD) keep the peace with a tight and ruthless grip. Beyond wall Rose lies Wall Maria, in which Shiganshina district is an industrial district, where most of the production and assembly that sustains the tech of Paradise City is carried out. The Paradise City Police Department lacks a presence in Shiganshina, causing gangs to grow and spread across the district. Beneath the streets of Trost lies a forgotten district; the Underground. Initially developed as an extension to Trost, it was abandoned and has become a hotbed of crime and criminal activity. Rather than try to address the growing drug trade and gang violence that takes place in the Underground, the Paradise City Police Department have instead implemented a military checkpoint to prevent people entering or leaving. The walls are 50 meters high, and serve to divide the districts, as well as containing condensed housing units that a majority of lower income residents reside in.

Environmental: A thick cloud of smog blankets Paradise City. The middle class and wealthy can afford respirators that allow them to breathe clean air, the poor suffer shortened life expectancies due to respiratory illness. Neon lights light the streets of Paradise City's districts, where Titan Corp's militarised robots are a common sight. The land around Paradise City is a harsh desert. Technology: Cybernetics and robotics are a normal part of daily life in Paradise City. While expensive, many backstreet engineers will implant cybernetics into customers- for a price. Virtual reality and memory implantation are leading forms of entertainment that allow people to escape their harsh realities for a time.

Titan Corp: Titan Corp is a corporation that is considered one of the leading developers of cutting edge technology. Their leader, Zeke Yeager, has become the ruler of Paradise City and he enforces his rule using a variety of surveillance tech, 'peacekeeping' militarized robots, and through allowing the threat of gang violence to remain just high enough that his authoritarian laws and regulations are deemed necessary by the majority of the population. Censorship and high police presence are touted as ways to protect the people, when in reality it serves to enforce Zeke's regime.

The Vanguard: A resistance movement led by Levi that seeks to overthrow Titan Corp and liberate the people. Levi's top operatives include Eld Jinn, Gunther Schultz, Oluo Bozado and Petra Ral. The Vanguard carries out raids on military warehouses, hacks into secure networks to seize information and is in the early stages of planning an assault on Titan Corp's HQ in Mitras to assassinate Zeke Yeager.
