Character Info
Profile
A genetically engineered mutant from another world, designed from the ground up to be the perfect entertainer, Longshot is a mix of dashing gorgeous hero and luck magnet. He has charm and charisma beyond belief, and even if that were to fail him he has an inherent ability to manipulate probability, resulting in luck that ranges from the mild to the miraculous. He has no memory of who and what he is, but a strong sense of ethics. He moves with grace and fluidity, an acrobat with seemingly impossible flexibility and agility.
Timeline
Timeline:
* 2020: Created in a lab by Arize, head geneticist to Mojo, who was in search for a star for his latest tv show. Imbued with the ability to manipulate probability and luck at an innate level based around the purity of his intent, Longshot was designed to have the greatest possible appeal to the audience. A beautiful face to match a limber, hollow boned body that allowed for incredible feats of flexibility, Longshot quickly became a star.
* 2022: Longshot's ability to influence luck spike whenever he tries to help his fellow slaves. Taking that as a sign that perhaps he is being encouraged to do so, he embarks on a quest to convince the other slaves to rebel against Mojo.
* 2023: As Longshot's power grow exponentially with the purity of his mission, Mojo realizes that there is no way to quell Longshot's powers. And killing him would create a martyr that would be even more tricky to untangle. So he did what he does best - put on a show and deceive. He casts Longshot out of Mojoverse while wiping his memory clean to prevent his return, and has Arize generate a physical duplicate, but lacking in Longshot's purity or powers. The duplicate quickly fails to live up to Longshot's example, and when he is executed all have already abandoned Longshot's crusade.
* October 2023: Longshot emerges from a portal in New York City with no memory of who or what he is.

Personality
Charming:
Longshot was designed to be an entertainment star, and so he delivers on that promise. Quick witted and yet an attentive listener, he is able not only to light up a room that he walks into, even without trying he seems to attract attention.
Creative:
Longshot is a performer, and he can come up with clever methods of expression and then execute them in the interest of keeping people interested. He can also use this same creativity during his super heroics, coming up with ideas and approaches that are well outside the box. Mostly because he does not know what the box is.
Optimistic:
Longshot not only is pure of heart and intent, he firmly believes that by doing so, he can change the world for the better. He has boundless optimism, and even when things are darkest, he expects to find a way out.
Pure of Heart:
Longshot truly wants what is best for people, and is practically bred to be pure of heart. It is not just because his powers manifest better when this is the case. He is built to be the embodiment of hope and heroism, inspirating others with how much good he tries to pump into the world.
Character Sheet
Powers
Healing Factor:
Longshot possesses an advanced healing factor, allowing his body to repair itself swiftly from damage such as high powered laser beams or even a fall from the sky.
Probability Manipulation:
Longshot manipulates probabilities around him at a miraculous level, fueled by the purity of his heart and actions. The more pure and heroic he is, the more dramatic luck will be on his side. This is not something intentional, it is an innate ability. It can backfire if he attempts to use it intentionally, or if he ever acts with ill intent or selfishly. When his probability manipulation is active, his left eye glows.
Psychometry:
Longshot can read psychic imprints left upon objects, typically the most notable or dramatic moments in the history of the object, or times of great emotional stress when bearing it. This can also be used to read the future, or possible future, of a person who has handled the object. This extends to people as well, where he is able to read recent memories through physical contact, although this does not provide insight into their mind or thoughts. He perceives the past as if he were a third party observer upon the scene, and does not get intent or thought.
Superhuman Acrobat:
Longshot is superhumanly acrobatic, possessing speed, agility, dexterity, reflexes, flexibility, balance, and coordination matched by only the most acrobatic of superpowered beings. He has hollow bones which makes him extremely light, and his spine is limber enough to bend and contort without resistance when needed.
Skills
Flying Devices:
Longshot is proficient in the use of technology he used in Mojoverse, including jetpacks and gliders, as well as various manners of hand held weapons.
Throwing Weapons:
Longshot's weapon of choice are small throwing blades, although he is also skilled at use with a grappling hook and thrown net. He is skilled in throwing them, but when enhanced with his probability skill his accuracy is nearly perfect.
Resources
Luck:
Inherent to Longshot is his luck, which extends to resources. If he is in great need of something, he is incredibly likely to stumble across it.
Weaknesses
Amnesia:
Longshot has no idea who or what he is. None.
Non-Human:
While he may certainly appear to be human, Longshot has one fewer finger per hand than normal humans, and so will stand out visually. Additionally, his hollow bones mean that he is considerably lighter than a human his size should be, which could lead to some complications from time to time as much as it helps him remain limber and light of step.
Purity of Intent:
Longshot's probably manipulation will only work when his intent is pure. If it is malicious, selfish, or evil, it will work in reverse, and bad luck will manifest to attempt to foil his efforts.
