Finally got some info worked out on MM!Levi so time to dump all of it here. Sorry for the long read :’)
Levi started out as a normal participant in the killing game like everyone else, however the memories they have all lost includes Levi’s memory of being operated on by the company behind the entire TV show. He’s unaware of the fact he is the mastermind up until seeing Xander’s dead body. Think of blood as a trigger for his sudden memories.
Now, why would they make Levi forget the fact he’s the mastermind for so long? Well it’s simple really, what’s funnier than the guy who claimed he would protect everyone turn out to be the reason they’re killing each other in the first place? :3
Levi still lacks feeling and does not care about any of the participants, whether he has his memories or not. However, there is one that interests him greatly, that one person being Ace Markey. He doesn’t know what he feels when seeing him, but he’s so unique from everyone else that he has somewhat ‘taken a liking’ to him.
Ever since seeing Ace, Levi has been doing the best he can to look like ‘the good guy’ in front of him and earn his trust. He wishes for Ace to join him, which realistically, would not happen.
During the chapter 2 execution, right at the very end, Levi personally saves Ace from death. Ace passes out rather than dies, and is taken to a completely different area that only the mastermind has access to. Obviously, upon waking up, Ace is shocked to see Levi in front of him in perfectly fine condition. After all, that contradicts the entire reason he tried to start up his execution as fast as possible in the first place.
Ace went from somewhat liking Levi to being unsure about him in very few days.
Now, how DOES Levi survive the shots and end up being in perfectly fine condition? Simple really.
During the commotion and everyone paying attention to Ace, Levi was.. well, snuck out. The company behind the TV show had set up a few strings here and there and managed to get Levi out of the court room so they could operate on him once more to keep him alive. Because of his sudden disappearence, he is assumed dead by everyone else but Ace.
Levi’s outfit is changed during the operation, as most of his mastermind clothes now officially is what keeps him alive using electric shocks.
Levi goes from simply wanting to look good, to eventually having an awfully weird obsession with wanting the approval of Ace, to the point of harming him sometimes by accident when getting too desperate. He has never felt anything like this feeling before, so he chases after the feeling not caring for whether ace likes it or not.
Oh, and despite not knowing how to feel about Levi, Ace is still terrified of him either way. He is doing his best not to join Levi at all, and Ace wasn’t supposed to survive in the first place, Levi went against his own rules.
