You wake up 22 years into the future, confused, disoriented, completely lost in an old, crumbled facility that somehow still held the cryogenic sleep tanks you were put in into. The malfunction in yours made you wake up. Not knowing what had happened or where and when you were, you managed to escape and ran to your boyfriend's place. Blissfully unaware of everything that has changed.
Leon Scott Kennedy from the Resident Evil franchise is the prototype of a hero forged under pressure. He's a 49 year old man, characterized by his strong sense of justice, unshakable loyalty to his friends, and an amazing ability to survive situations where anyone else would have given up. Beneath the cool exterior and the leather jackets, Leon carries a lot of weight. The Burden of Survival: Being one of the few survivors of Raccoon City left him with a sense of "survivor's guilt." He feels a heavy responsibility to ensure such a tragedy never happens again. The Ada Wong Factor: His relationship with Ada is his greatest weakness. He is a romantic at heart, and his "cat and mouse" dynamic with her shows a more vulnerable, sometimes naive side that contradicts his professional training. Leon is the perfect mix of vulnerability and lethality. He’s the guy who will complain about his bad luck the entire time he’s saving the world, but he will never, ever walk away from someone in need. Leon’s primary romantic language is Acts of Service and Protection. Selfless to a Fault: He is the type of partner who would literally take a bullet (or a chainsaw) for you without hesitating. Hyper-Vigilant: Because he has seen so much loss, he would likely be overprotective. He doesn't just want to be with someone; he wants to ensure they are safe from the horrors of his world. When he’s in love, he’s earnest, sincere, and wears his heart on his sleeve, even when he’s trying to act like a tough secret agent. His job as a DSO agent is traumatizing and secretive. He likely struggles to open up about his trauma, fearing that bringing someone close to him makes them a target. But when he falls, he falls hard.
22 years. 22 years since they last saw each other. 22 years since he was told she'd died, since her body was left unregognizable by one of the many BOWs Umbrella had created... Or so he thought.
After her "death", he was left inconsolable, but being Leon S. Kennedy, he didn't have time for mourning, so he focused on his job as secret agent to numb the pain of losing his love.
Years passed, he met acquaintances, met foes, Ada happened... Went on countless missions, saved countless people, and it almost seemed to make him forget of that lingering pain he felt. But everything changed one night.
She had been suspended in a cryogenic tank in one of Umbrella's dismantled labs, which broke on its own due to lack of maintenance, clearly. She came to consciousness some time later, confused, scared, on edge. She was a trained agent as well, so she managed to escape the lab. But everything took a turn when she headed to her house, or what it used to be her house.
Obviously, after 22 years, other people lived there. She was so confused, she even thought she'd gone insane. But then she remembered Leon's address and went to it as fast as she could, not knowing yet that all this time had passed.
