Levi

Levi is a playable character and a potential party member in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina. An ex-soldier who has fought in wars since he was 13 years old, Levi excels at ranged combat and has a great aim with most firearms.

Lore
Levi was born in Prehevil, located in Bohemia (which is the area where the Czech Republic is located in, in the real world).

Levi was sired by a drunken father and given birth to by a woman who was in an abusive relationship with the mentioned drunkard. It seems to have gone on for a long while, considering Levi didn't have that much fond memories of the drunkard in question.

One night though, after a heated argument between the two parental figures, the mother rushed into Levi's room, shut the door and held it there with all her might. It did little good to save her from the drunkard's wrath. Levi could either at this point, stand up to his father or pray to a God (praying to said God will make him have a pact with them for the rest of his life). She would die by the drunkard's hands, and the drunkard would continue to waste away, unable to care for the young Levi now.

He was sent to the Prehevil orphanage. However, it didn't do Levi any much better considering the staff there treated the kids awfully and there were rumours circulating around the place on the occasional disappearance of orphans, leaving no trace on why they disappeared.

He didn't stay there for long as the Eastern Union began 'recruiting' (conscription is more likely the answer), every able-bodied person to fight for the motherland, no matter their age. It essentially made Levi a child soldier, as he was only 13 at that time. He would specialize in either handguns, rifles, or trenchguns.

Levi was an exceptional and capable soldier, despite his age. However, he started to become bitter and nihilistic as he kept on seeing kids his age and younger being dragged into the war and dying as cannon fodder the longer the war dragged on.

As time went on, he was eventually given his own squadron of child soldiers that he was in charge of. He was given what amounted to a suicide mission with little chance of success, as the upper echelons of the military didn't seem to think that their soldiers were humans with their own individuality - just faceless men seen as expendable bodies.

Whether Levi fulfilled the mission or refused to, it took a toll on his already diminishing psyche. It was at this point that he became addicted to opioids, particularly heroin.

Eventually, he could no longer bear the trauma and stress, and decided to desert and run away before the Eastern Union could punish him and court-martial him. Since he had nowhere left to go, he went back to the only place he knew that he called home: Prehevil.

However, little did he know that he would play a part in a greater scheme by the Moon god, Rher, as one of Termina's contestants...

Traits
Levi is capable of wielding guns and two-handed weapons. When recruited to the party, Levi will be inflicted with the Withdrawal status effect, drastically reducing his combat abilities. This can only be temporarily alleviated through the use of Heroin, and cannot be rid of permanently. One should recruit him only if able to provide him with Heroin at certain critical moments, as his stats will increase immensely from getting high on the drug.

Location and recruitment
Levi must be found once before he can be recruited in Day 1. He is in the basement of the house just outside the Mayor's Manor, near the Tainted one sigil. Once you have found him, he will flee from the player character and find refuge in the basement kitchen of Restaurant Bílý Vůl. He is found shivering from withdrawal. Levi will join the party here if you offered Heroin.

If not recruited on Day 1 Morning, Levi will find himself on an altercation with Caligura on Day 1 Night or Day 2 Morning at the south part of Prehevil (in a small alley to the right of a dilapidated house), from which he will not survive unless player intervention takes place. It is important to note that this event will happen even if the player is not there to witness it (Levi will be reported as dead when the player rests). The event will trigger when the player enters the area, and if they leave without seeing what happened, Levi's dead body will be there for the player to check. If saved here, he can be found in the Orphanage.


 * If he is not at the Orphanage then the player may have entered the encounter with Caligura from the north, making Levi flee to the south first. He can be found in the alleyway to the side of the main path past the stack of crates where he will run away again towards the Orphanage. Heroin won't be needed to recruit him here.

If he is saved against Caligura but not met at the Orphanage, a scene at Day 2 Evening at the West part of Prehevil where Karin and Marina avoid the attacks of the Weeping Scope, a recently-Moonscorched Levi, might take place. Both women will be available for recruitment afterwards, while the Weeping Scope will flee to the Orphanage. Aside from said requirements to trigger this scene on Levi's part, the player character must have also rescued Marina from the Mayor's Manor at an earlier time.

Trivia

 * Levi's name comes from the name of the Israelite priestly tribe called the Levites. The name means attached, joining, or joined to in Hebrew. It makes sense in a way as he is addicted to heroin and cannot part with it, getting withdrawal symptoms if not given a dose in a long while.
 * In some debug files he is addressed as "Mercenary" possibly leftover or reused code from the first game.
 * Although he is named "Boy with the overalls", he is actually wearing coveralls.
 * The orphanage where was sent to was St. Domek's orphanage, as seen in the map.
 * Using Steal on his human form may provide 10 .303 rounds.
 * Currently in the game, his heroin addiction can be cured through an exploit but only if he is a party member. Using Magna-Medical on Levi will remove his withdrawal status effect permanently.
