Kelechi
The reluctant leader
Kelechi does not seek command. He steps forward because someone needs to think beyond the next blow, and because leaving people behind feels worse than taking responsibility.
Practical, loyal and protective, he remembers life before the abduction—including a Big Labs workshop. Becoming different has not erased the person who attended it.
- Ability
- Redirects momentum and incoming impacts; stored force can be released or dispersed around others.
- Limits
- He can absorb only so much force. A threat he cannot read or contain can still bring him down.
“We survived becoming something different. We don’t have to become something cruel.”
