OVA
Description
Leon McNichol is an officer of the A.D. Police, the advanced law enforcement agency tasked with handling crimes involving rogue boomers in a futuristic MegaTokyo. He is a dedicated and highly capable powered armor pilot, regarded as one of the force's aces in the K-11 and K-12S combat suits. His strong sense of justice drives him to oppose the corrupt influence of megacorporations like Genom, and he frequently chafes against political interference that hinders effective policing. This frustration often leads him to conduct his own independent investigations, even when it means operating outside official channels.
Leon's personality is marked by a combination of self-confidence and impulsiveness. He tends to rush headlong into dangerous situations without fully thinking through the consequences, a trait that sometimes lands him in trouble but also reflects his unwavering commitment to protecting the public. He is ambitious, competitive, and not afraid to stand up to his superiors when he believes they are capitulating to corporate pressure. Despite his hotheaded exterior, he is loyal to his colleagues and genuinely wants to make a difference.
His most significant relationship is with Priss, the lead singer of a rock band and a member of the vigilante Knight Sabers. Leon is an avid fan of her music and develops a romantic crush on her, which forms a central subplot. Their interactions are initially marked by her indifference or outright rejection of his advances, but over time Priss comes to develop a certain sympathy for him. By the end of the series, Leon deduces that Priss is involved with the Knight Sabers, but he chooses to keep her secret and occasionally supports the group, recognizing that the A.D. Police's resources are insufficient to combat the boomer threat alone.
His partner and best friend is fellow officer Daley Wong, who often acts as a calming influence and helps keep Leon focused. Leon's role in the story is that of a persistent, well-meaning lawman who operates on the fringes of the main conflict, providing a grounded police perspective and a romantic tension with the lead protagonist. His development sees him move from outright opposition to vigilante justice toward a more pragmatic acceptance that the Knight Sabers fill a necessary role. His notable abilities include expert piloting of powered armor, proficiency in firearms, and a relentless determination that makes him an effective if sometimes reckless field operative.
