Name: Mikael Gear

Race: Wizard-Human mix

Elemental Power: Metal/Technology

Weakness: His ability relies on technology. If he was attacked with something that is not mechanical or electric (e.g. a sword), he won't be able to protect himself.

Bio: Mikael's family branched off from an ancient family of wizards. However, when it seemed that those from that lineage had no magical abilities whatsoever, they were removed from the family tree and were forced to live their lives in relative normality. After many generations, they had forgotten all about their connection to the wizarding world and submitted themselves to their new lives. Because of this, most of this lineage were saved from the ongoing fighting between humans and wizards by hiding in obscurity. It was a surprise to everybody that they still had powers from their wizard ancestors. It's just that their powers were far, far ahead of their time. 

Mikael grew up with the power of technopathy. This allows him to communicate with and control technology like he was talking to it through a special language. From a young age he took an avid interest in tinkering and programming, and his rapport with technology allowed him to create machines and programs that many engineers would shake their heads in confusion at. He attempted to go to college to study Engineering, but hated the "impersonal" approach they took and quickly dropped out. Nobody understood his explanations anyways. He currently works and lives at the family business, a mechanic's shop, where he, his mother and his uncle use their 'expertise' to work on cars and other mechanical devices. He has serviced witch-hunting equipment in the past.

Personality: He is quiet, always thinking and imagining weird and wonderful machines to build. In his room is a mess of half-finished machines that he plans to finish off "someday". Regarding the war, he is not detached from it; he knows full well he is a wizard. However he prefers to stay out of it as much as possible.

Other: He installed all the security in the shop and in the house, ranging from alarms that sound like dogs barking to thermobaric railguns. They've only had to replace the walls twice.
