Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
Leonard was being chased by Skyler in his airboat. She managed to pass him and cause him to crash into her buggy. The impact made him lose conciousness which gave Skyler the chance. She got out of her boat with her Python in hand. Upon regaining conciousness, she tried to capture Leonard. Leonard, being insane and lost all sense of fear and pain, grabbed for his knife. He told Skyler "Leave or I will kill you the same way I killed Walter back in the City." Skyler refused to leave and tried to talk Leonard back to his lacking senses. Instead, Leonard threw the knife at Skyler and charged at her to finish her off. She reacted by firing off a shot into Leonard stomach which got lodged into his lower spine, paralysing him from the waste down. Leonard still didn't want to give in. He showed no signs of change. Only hate toward Skyler and everyone else. Skyler, fighting back tears, pulled off one last shot to Leonard's head, killing him in the tunnels. Leonard's body was dead but his soul, the one not affected by his brain injury remained in the dark depths of the tunnel.

Normally I'd disagree with a ghost character, but Leo was very prolific. Despite the fact that it's against the whole 'no supernatural stuff' thing, Statua would definitely know how to RP it well, and it would only serve to further RP.
-
Not saying my two cents means much but I know Statua can roleplay this well, it's just I honestly hate the idea of a ghost character. It's annoying and completely impossible. It has no IC explanation and just over all troublesome.
Xen having aliens that can heal wounds IS reasonable because in life there could be other being in this world that have special abilities that humans do not have, but this is something that is not caused by Xen or the Combine or anything else that could happen.
I disagree with this idea.

If it were that, may as well just make him come back, but just barely alive. Coming back to life can also re-rig your mind
-
I don't doubt that Statua can handle this, but I also can't see this being accepted unless He comes up with a reasonable explaination as to why he is a ghostie, or at least, how he might have become so.

What Globey said, or something along the lines of that.

Although being a ghost is unrealistic IRL, this is the HL2 world and I don't see why vorts cannot do something like this.
-
Only Issue I see with this I need to dig lens body back up or vorts will, still if len comes back to life wont he be insane still?
-
Mmm if its going to be xen causing this, I disagree. I myself IRL believe in some form of spiritual communication with spirits and people in the real world under certain circumstances. But I guess the rest of you don't so its either straight up spirit or trash this app.
-
Statua, all I'm asking for is a reasonable explaination, "straight up spirit" doesn't really work.

-support.
This is just... stupid. A Ghost? Really? Not only is it stupid but it just seems to over-glorify your character and make it so that all the new players must know of the "famous" Mr. Wong with amazing skills in shotcop.
-
The point of it was so Leonard could talk to skyler more. Not to talk to everyone or overglorify him. I would only use him on certain occasions and really, he would only try to talk to skyler or zak or dave. Thats about it.
But if you still feel this is retarded then just lock it.
-
I only asked for an explaination, but you obviously want this app to be locked and denied, and so it shall be.
