Personality
Arrogant:
Leland Owlsley is a very arrogant man, and with good reason. His very sucessful career and other
lucky breaks over the years has given him a inflated opinion of himself. In conversation, He often
brings up his sucessful investments, his "financial acumen", his great wealth, among other things.
This even carries over to his criminal activities, where he views himself as a criminal genius, and
his schemes as alimost infalliable pieces of art.
Charismatic:
Despite all of his negative traits, Leland is incredibly charismatic, a necessity in the
business world. In conversation with his "peers", Leland is often noted for having a silver tongue,
knowing exactly what to say, and when to say it to get on people's good side. He carries himself as
the "eager, honest business man" and goes through extreme lenghts to keep up this facade.
Megalomania:
Leland has developed a case of Megalomania over the years. He consistently seeks power, whether
it be in the Stock Exchange, or in the Criminal Underworld and happily use what powers he already
has, often for his own benefit. This megalomania is caused by a drive Leland has to "earn" the power
he never had as a child abused by his cruel Father. Leland will go to great lenghts to show off what
power he already has, even if it involves killing or other horrid crimes.
Ruthless:
Leland Owlsley, as both himself and The Owl, has proven himself a man not to be toyed with. He
does not tolerate failure, insults, or any form of incompetence from his emplyoyees. As Leland, not
only has he been known to fire employees without mercy for the samllest of mistakes, but he has used
his newsletter's stellar reputation to ruin the careers of executives who have crossed him, often
with rumors that turn out to be true.
As The Owl, Leland has been known to "downsize" those
who fail him, or The Parliment, often through death or forced exile, the latter often being enforced
by threatening the victim's family as a form of blackmail. This also extends to law enforcement and
civilains, as Owl has been known to ruthlessly "eliminate" threats to his Empire, often meddlesome
cops or witnessess, often in brutal, and sometimes frightening ways.
Character Sheet
Powers
Flight:
Thanks to an experimental serum created by one Frank Astor, Leland now has the ability to fly.
Initually, he can only go 15 feet off the ground and can't move very fast. However, Leland has
recently found that he could go higher if he jumps off buildings and other high surfaces.
While in the air, Leland, using his overcoat, uses currents while flying to go even higher,
and faster. With these methods, he can easily go about 50 to 70 miles an hour.
Flight Adaption:
The Flight Serum has started to mutate Leland's body to help him adapt to flight. His heart rate
is now much faster, being able to go up to several 100 beats a second. His lungs have also expanded,
containing sacs that allow him to cool his body and keep afloat after takeoff.
Hollow Skeleton:
Another "beneficial" mutation for Leland was a hollow skeleton, like the birds he is emulating.
This allows him to be more agile while in midair, and makes his bones much more durable and harder
to fracture due to air pockets inside the bones."
Night Vision:
The latest mutation Leland has been able to notice is that he can see in the dark. This ability,
which is similar to an Owl's night vision, can allow him to see in the dark better than most humans.
Skills
Falconry:
Thanks to his childhood interest in Owls, Leland took up Falconry lessons when he was in his
late teens. Now a master in this craft, he is able to tame and train owls to do a variety of tasks
for him.
Finance:
Leland's is one of Wall Street's most notable financial wizards. Often called "The Owl of Wall
Street", Leland is very skilled in investments, banking, and other financial tricks. This even
extends to his Underworld dealings, where he is quite knowledgable on how to launder money for his
multitude of criminal activites.
Firearms:
Leland is a surprsingly good shot with a gun, which is very important in the Criminal
Underworld. He is especially proficient with the Hand Gun, and can outshoot most police officers,
but not the likes of The Punisher.
Hand-To-Hand:
Leland is a surprsingly skilled Hand-To-Hand combatant. Thanks to a high school interest in
martial arts, which scored Leland a Brown Belt, he is able to hold his own against most street
criminals. But, he will have a harder time with those with superior combat knowledge.
Leadership:
Leland, thanks to both his Ruthlessness and Charisma, is a surprsingly good leader. Using his
business acumen, Leland can up with complex strategies for his men that are both efficiant and
profitable.
Resources
"talons":
Hidden underneath Leland's sleeves are very sharp steel blades shaped like an Owl's talons.
These talons, which he can retract at will thanks to mechansim built into the weapon, can cut
through almost anything, except for metals like Admantium or Vibranium.
Athena and Apollo:
Named after the Greek god and Goddess, Athena, a Snowy Owl and Apollo, a barn owl are Leland's
falconry birds. Besides being able to hunt small animals, Leland has trained these birds to act as
messangers, delivering messages to his men during the night. He has also trained them to attack his
enemies, using a special whistle for this last purpose.
Drugs:
Leland, like most crime lords, is sinking his talons in the drug trade. The Weeping Widows MC,
one of his affiliated groups, specializes in making "dosmetic meth",using locations across the city,
mostly abandoned buildings, to build surprisingly elaborate Meth labs, which they use to make and
sell the dreaded drug to NYC's addicts.
Besides Meth, Leland has also been laying groundwork
with the Mexican Cartels, and has recently began selling Cocain with the aid of the Weeping Widows
and Asuras.
Also, thanks to The Asura's connections with the Asian criminal underworld, they
have managed to get their hands on "fake" phramacuticals, which they sell to people addicted to
phramacutical drugs. However, some of these are completly fake, not containing the chemicals used
for it's affects, but sometimes deadly chemicals, or other substances like powdered sugar, or
salt.
Money Laundry:
Leland has recently purchased a series of failing laundry mats across the city under an alias.
While seemingly innocent, these cleaners are actually being used by The Parliament to launder it's
ill-gotten gains so it can be safely circulated back into the economy.
Safehouses:
Leland has secretly purchased condemmed buildings all over New York City and has converted them
as safehouses for his men. These safehouses, while basic, are good enough to hide up to 10 men for
as long as two weeks. They come with electricity, which is generated via generators hidden in the
basements, and a security system to alert the inhabitants to intruders.
The Aerie:
Leland's main claim to fame is The Aerie, a financial newsletter that he founded as a investment
opinion piece. Over the years, many people have benefitted from Leland's "financial genius", which
inspired his nick-name "The Owl of Wall Street. The Aerie is now one of Leland's big cash cows, with
over 500,000 subscribers hoping to use the publication to help make their own fortunes.
The Parliament:
Leland's criminal syndicate is called The Parliament. It is modeled after a corporation, with
Leland serving as the Chairman and CEO. Right now, this organization has four "subsidiaries"
scattered across New York City, though Leland wishes to expand his syndicate eventually.
The
subsidiaries are criminal groups that Leland managed to gather underneath his wings for a single
purpose, complete domination of the NYC Criminal Underworld. Each of these subsidiaries bring
something to the table that The Parliament as a whole can use to benefit them in their quest to
dominate the NYC underworld. Among them are the Dyzuba Bratva, a Ukranian mafia group based out of
Brighton Beach that specializes in Arms Smuggling and Dealing.
The Asuras, a street gang in
Manhatten that specializes in bootleg clothing, electronics, and most disturbing, fake
phramacuticals.
The Weeping Widows MC, the most profitable of Leland's subsidiaries, have
their hands in the drug trade, especially in the manufacture and selling of Meth.
Finally
there is The O'Riley's, one of the last surviving Irish Mafia groups in Hell's Kitchen. They
specialize in Prostitution and Auto Theft, with warehouses dedicated to smuggling and chopping
vehicles all over the city.
Each of these groups elects a "board member" to represent them in
Parliament meetings, which are held bi-yearly, where they, alongside Leland decide on what actions
The Parliament will take for the next six months.
Wealth:
Leland is a incredibly wealthy man whose fortunes is in the hundred millions, mostly due to his
wise investments, his newsletter, and his Underworld dealings. While not as wealthy as Bruce Wayne,
Leland can use his wealth to get access to many things that many people could not get access to
including VIP rooms in arenas, the latest security system for his home, and more. This also extends
to his criminal dealings, where he can use his fortune to purchase the highest quality drugs,
weaponry, and other black market goods from the most reputable sellers on the International Black
Market.
Weapons:
Leland and his crews have access to top-of-the-line weaponry. This is thanks to the Dyzuba
Bratva, who are rumored to have connections in both the Russain and Ukranian military. As a result,
Leland's men have access to machine guns, assault rifles, shotguns, pistols, and a variety of
explosives.
Weaknesses
Arrogance:
Leland is convinced of his own superiority and thinks of himself as one of NYC's most powerful
men. As a result, his arrogance will cause him to ignore any criticism or pieces of advice, no
matter how beneficial they seem, which could lead to disaster.
Enemies:
As expected with any crime boss, Leland has many enemies. The Parliament's actions have
attracted the attention of both The Fed's and heroes, who both wish to shut it down and arrest it
now unknown leadership, which could complicate Leland's whole lifestyle if exposed.
Besides
the forces of justice, Leland also has to keep a weary eye out for rivals in the Underworld, who
seek to eliminate "The Owl" before he grows to strong, especially The Maggia, who currently have a
bounty out for "The Owl's" head.
Mutations:
Leland dosen't know it at the moment, but his Flight Serum comes with a horrific side affect.
The more Leland drinks, the more owl-like he becomes. Eventually, if he is not careful, it will
become harder to look "human" as the Owl-like mutations start to become more and more obvious, and
might cause Leland to completley lose his humanity.
