Biography
SHOOT'EM IN THE HEAD...

Survivor of an outbreak, he now hunts down the corporation responsible as well any Bio-terrorists who seek to replicate more outbreaks.

THE LEGACY OF LEON:
 * Resident Evil 2
 * Resident Evil 4
 * Resident Evil: Degeneration
 * Resident Evil: Damnation

Opening
Leon S. Kennedy is given an assignment from his superiors. A claimed terrorist attacking some soldiers, it is widely believed that this person is part of a new virus as his strength is shown to be above the normal. Leon then leaves to seek this "Strife" out as Chris Redfield (voiced by Roger Craig Smith) joins his search.

Rival
Name: Cloud Strife

Reason:

Connection: Both Resident Evil and Final Fantasy are a flagship franchise of their respective developers. Leon and Cloud share similar personalities, being basically the archetypical lone wolves while doing their jobs. Also, they share similarities in contrast with their tone of story telling as both are trying to seek out the main antagonist of their respective series (Albert Wesker and Sephiroth respectively).

Gameplay
Kennedy's gameplay style is sort of an amalgam between Nathan Drake, Isaac Clarke, and Colonel Radec where most of the special weapons are done by the Triangle and Circle buttons leaving the Square button to function with short range and melee. He has access to mostly modern weapons such as the pistol equiped with a laser pointer.

New to the series, Leon is given an assist: where a character from the same game gives aid to the player. In this case, Chris Redfield wearing his Resident Evil 5 attire gives an assist to Leon.
