Mentality
Cleo comes off as a prideful asshole who thinks they are the only one who can do something. Asking for help is the last thing he wishes to do and rather face easily avoidable conflicts. One of his core beliefs is that hard-work leads to success no matter the situation. If something doesn’t go your way try harder is his motto. This belief leads him come off as leader and role model to some who he has stood up for. A huge aspect of him is his anger which doesn’t explode ,but silently melts. When he is angry, violence is his go to method of getting it out especially if he ticked on in the right places. A few of his ticks are cheaters, liars, and those who do not respect a fight.
Power
Vestige is a Master/Mover/Breaker with a sub Thinker ability. His Master/Mover ability allows for him to project after images of himself around himself and move at accelerated rates between each image. His Thinker ability allows for him full control and understand of his body’s movements.
He can spawn up to seven afterimages at once in spherical space that has a diameter of 20 meters. These after images can spawn in any position that he himself is capable of doing. So he is capable of having one in the air mid kick, another crouched to the ground doing a sweep, or one just doing flip. The afterimages look just like him ,but aren’t solid. The after images have a lifespan of only 30 seconds with any them fading away once time is up. The mechanism of how he moves between each after image is simple with him picking a sequence before he moves. When he is motion from one after image to the other, he appears as a blur which not necessary because of his speed ,but rather a slight breaker element to his power that works to protect him from his speed. The exact speed that he moves at is around 70 meters per second. He only has around 2-3 seconds before he is forced into motion to the next after image.
His Thinker ability allows for him to move his body at a level of control that appears uncanny to anyone else. He can move his fingers individually without causing the others to move, he can contort his body to its maximum ability, and coordinate his body with precision. This ability proves useful in accommodating his accelerated speed/momentum and allowing him to learn martial arts at a much faster rate.

Dantae quickly became his first true friend in Ashton. They hung out together, smoked, and Cleo taught him some of his martial art techniques. Things were slowly refitting to how they were back in Vegas. This was all killed when he meet up with Dantae to chill only to find himself surrounded by nine guys equipped with blunt objects. It turned out that Dantae had been pressured/blackmailed by the bully’s click to set up Cleo. He could quickly see that he couldn’t fight off all of these guys on his own ,but he wasn’t going to out without a fight.
