The City Street Lion Accessing Data file 104F-l0l-2435... Subject "Leo" is very protective of information regarding her life before becoming a Super. She's known to become very defensive, or in rare cases even violent about inquiries. Much is known about her powers, however. She seems eager to show off her abilities. Leo possesses typically heroic levels of both strength, stamina, and durability, but not in sufficient levels to explain her prowess. Though the process has been so far unobservable, the effects are plain as day. The subject can finely manipulate and direct simple forces. Such as focusing the force of a punch to a razors edge. This has been proved by witnessing Leo make clean cuts with her bare hand. Furthermore, she displays acrobatic precision in balance and movement obviously augmented by this skill. As well as pushing off the air to change directions while jumping. Further study is required. [Hello dere. This thread has no specific goal. I'm just going to be posting snippets of characters here and there. Small tales. I'm going to start off simple by posting the description I use for Leo, my unarmed set using main. I might actually write a couple in a row tonight. I think I'll start off by showcasing my main a bit]

Leo blew gently across the top of her hot coco a few times before giving it a experimental sip.
"I gotta say. That guy's doomsday device blowing up like that wasn't such a bad thing, you know? A nice cold snap in the middle of summer. What was his name?"
"Fernado Freeze!"
"I think he changed it to Freeznando." Leo piped up to the insectoid looking man and a much smaller than average bearded gentleman in a vibrant green suit. A moment later a man in a sweater vest came out clapping his hands, "Alright alright! Everyone to your seats. The room is warmed up, and you all have your hot chocolate." No small amount of shuffling occurred as the small group of people took a series of chairs and arranged them in a circle so they were facing each other. When everyone was seated, the counselor in the sweater vest stood up and held his hands out to the gathering.
"Welcome to the Transformed Capes Anonymous! I know it took a lot of bravery to be here, but know you aren't alone. There are others, like you, that have found themselves radically transformed by their powers. In time I hope you can think of us as a second fam-"
"Ey Laddy.." The Leprechaun tugged on the edge of the counselor's shirt, "I don't believe the new blood came today. You can stop the introductions.." The counselor looked around a moment and adjusted his clothing nervously before sitting back down. "Uh.. well let's just get right into it then! I see we haven't lost anyone at least, and I'd like to remind all of you to invite others you know to join us. You should know first hand how hard this can be. Don't be embarrassed to ask them. Particularly you."
Leo twitched visibly when his eyes landed on her, "Tsh."
"Now don't be like that, Leo. Your condition isn't anything to be ashamed of."
"Her condition? That's a joke! Oh boo hoo! I have pointy ears and a donkey tail! Woe is me!" The bug man's wings buzzed irritably at the both of them. "What about my condition? What about his?" He pointed at the Leprechaun quite calmly sitting in his seat. "He used to be six feet tall! She shouldn't even be here!"
"Use your inside voice, Barry."
The stern look from the counselor seemed to calm Barry Buzz down enough, or maybe it was the way Leo was clenching her fists that convinced him to be more reasonable. Either way, he still took a rather childishly upset look as he leaned back in his chair. "Whatever. So what. I'd kill to be that lucky. At least she doesn't look deformed."
"I keep telling you to refer to me as HE when we're in meetings, sugar sucker!"
Barry was back on his feet and glaring at Leo with every pair of his eyes. "Awh go and prance about in a skirt, Transvestite! Or are you going to give up and just go full dyke? Oh wait.. too late!"
"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT USING YOUR INSIDE VOICES?"The entire building rumbled with the counselor's booming voice. Several bits and bobs around the room scattering to the floor with the vibration. "THIS IS THE LAST TIME I WILL ALLOW YOU TWO TO BICKER AT THESE MEETINGS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? YOU WON'T RUIN ANOTHER MEETING." Barry was too stunned, or frightened, to respond. Leo only managed a nod and quiet whimper. The counselor coughed to clear his throat and turned to Leo, now speaking in a more normal tone, "Leo? This is the perfect chance to share. How does Barry make you feel?"
"..." Leo sat up and tugged at her shirt a bit. Particularly around her chest. "It's the same kind of crap I don't want to put up with out there. People just don't get it. Sure, you don't think it would be a big deal if it happened to you, but it slowly gets to you. It's not politically correct to admit it, but everything's different as a woman. It's only fun for a day or so before it begins to bug.. starts to get on your nerves."
Leo sipped more of her coco before continuing.
"That's part of why I moved to MC, you know? Too many people with his attitude that knew what I used to be. Like what I am on the outside is what I should be on the inside. They don't get that it makes me uncomfortable. That it's weird. People treat you different even if they don't mean to. People suddenly expect you to be a certain way. Who I was before isn't different from now. Then they start to think something's wrong with me because I'm not behaving how they think I should. Here no one knows me. I can establish my own identity, but it's still weird sometimes.."
"Like how?" Porcupain leaned forward in interest along with a few others. "If you don't mind. We know you don't like people prying, but every guy has wondered what it's like to be a girl..."
"Maybe some guys.." The Leprechaun said with a smirk.
"Well.. uh.." Leo rubbed her neck a little. "Like just today. I decided to hang out in Club Caprice. I just wanted to relax before I headed here to the meeting. Women are.. a lot more friendly with each other than men are, and more free with their personal space. I got hugged like it wasn't a big deal. I also got hit on.. I think. It was weird not being the one in control. At the same time it's kind of nice being able to feel more free to be social. Guys have to sort of.. make sure they aren't being sexually threatening to each other before they can be friendly. There are a lot of barriers that don't exist."
"Good.. good.. anything else you'd like to share before we move on?" The counselor was nodding softly. It was the most she had ever said about herself in the time she had been there. "Before now you only gave us a.. clinical account of your situation. I'm very impressed."
"Well, it's nice not burning up in the sun like I used to. If I were a guy again, I wouldn't mind keeping the dark skin.."
"Uh.. right. Well anyone else? have anything to say to Leo?"
"I DO!" The leprechaun jumped up to his feet on the chair and stared long and hard at Leo. "Being short is very convenient, you know. A fine Lassy such as yourself. You should try wearing a skirt for a change and indulge your femininity. Then I can peep up it without you realizing!"

That's all for now.
I have more planned. Including snippets of Cuddles the lovable shark girl. I just got into a mood where I REALLY had to write something. I couldn't stand it. The nagging creative tug had to go.
Just a note about the previous story. I'll be referring to Leo as a HER instead of a HIM to make it easier on the reader. If I were doing a longer, more coherent, story I would switch between them to reflect shifts in state of mind, but the snippet story style I'm doing can't really take advantage of that.
I might to an interview with Julie Morgan next. Then post something for dear precious Cuddles.
