Physical Description
Mehphibosheth has the same general appearance as any other Libran. He is thin, small boned, slightly sharp features, moderately tan skin, vibrant green eyes, and short black hair. He keeps himself clean shaven and clean looking and dresses smartly. He is usually wearing a gray suit, red tie, and a gray fedora and dress shoes to match the suit. This professional appearance is to assist in his criminal work wear looks are a big part of success. If you don't look like a criminal, your success rate is higher.

Personality
Mephibosheth's primary concern is money. He has no problem with steamrolling innocent people in pursuit of wealth. In his mind, it serves as compensation for the suffering he experienced when he was crippled. Yes, crippled. As far as he is concerned, all those 'fully functional' individuals will have no problem earning the money back. If they cannot, he still doesn't care. Mephibosheth is extremely intelligent, sly, deceptive, and can easily talk someone in circles to the point of utter confusion. Some say that his eyes are so green because they have been stained with greed, but he was born that way. Though he is a white-collar criminal, his combat abilities should not be underestimated. He is fully capable of dealing with aggressors and those who interfere in his schemes. He feels no guilt for the people he kills because they should have know better than to interfere.

Magic/Abilities
Mephibosheth has no magical or psychic abilities, but he is not defenseless. His primary weapon are his bionic legs. Interstellar law prohibits having biomech prosthetics that are stronger than the real limb, why would a criminal care about what the law says? Mephibosheth's legs are indeed stronger than normal. With them can jump higher, run faster, and kick harder than anyone. They also have other applications that he finds quite useful in certain situations, such as electromagnets so that he can walk up metal surfaces. He makes sure to keep his legs a secret. They are illegal after all.

In addition, he is armed with a coilgun pistol. It is a completely silent weapon except for a small sonic boom made by the round as it is fired and has no recoil. He also keeps plenty of knives on him as well. There is a knife in his right sleeve, on his left leg, and he keeps a simple switchblade in his pocket. For non-lethal purposes, he carries a small stun gun to zap people with.

Besides being heavily armed, he is very intelligent. His time as a cripple gave him plenty of time to read and study. He is a excellent hacker, allowing him to tap into Libra's well-documented and organized inner workings.

Relationships
None

History
Mephibosheth's story starts off pretty sad. For some reason or another, his legs never fully developed and were completely useless to him. He was also abandoned near the docks as a child because of this defect as his parents were embarrassed of him. Mephibosheth was taken in by an kind older couple who raised him as their own. Despite how much his adopted parents cared for him, he grew up to be bitter. Others looked down on him, both literally and metaphorically, and he was not at all satisfied with his existence.

One day, a strange man approached and offered to pay him if he helped him out with a con. After helping the man successfully pull off the con, he became hooked and starting conning people himself, the sympathy he generated by being a cripple greatly assisting him. Once he had the money, he went and got himself a new pair legs that were better than anyone else's. Now he could run and jump better than everyone who had looked down on him before. He was now the superior one, but that still did not satisfy him. He continued his criminal career because it was all he had ever known and made good money. While most of his work is done in Libra, he also does a fair amount of traveling to broaden his horizons.
