[b]Full name:[/b] Marc Ferring
[b]Alias/Codename:[/b] Storage
[b]Age:[/b] 18
[b]Country of origin:[/b] South-Africa
[b]Basic appearance:[/b] Marc is 1,85 meters tall and usually has an average build. He has a tanned Caucasian skin tone. His day-today clothes are simple jeans with a neat shirt. He wears several charm bracelets with metallic figurines of different animals that he uses to store attributes in. He keeps a similar styled necklace underneath his shirt. He inherited these pieces of jewellery from his grandfather, who had a strong connection to the tribal side of the family. He also wears a watch and can often been found wearing glasses.
[b]Costume:[/b] Marc prefers to wear his usual clothes instead of a costume as he believes his powers are more useful if he retains the element of surprise.
[b]Skills:[/b] Marc is decent at hand-to-hand combat, though he usually relies on increasing his strength, agility and speed during fights. He is smart and creative with an above average IQ. He prefers the more technical subjects, yet he is also fluent in English, Dutch and Afrikaans.
[b]Powers:[/b] Marc is able to store physical and mental attributes of himself in metallic items he is touching. At a later time, Marc is able to tap into these stored attributes. He can't use more of an attribute than he has stored up, but he is able to tap into these stored attributes at an increased rate. For example, Marc can store half his strength for 10 minutes, thus being twice as weak. At a later time, he can be twice as strong for 10 minutes, or four times as strong for 5 minutes etc. 

[b]Brief bio:[/b] Marc was born and raised in Kaapstad, South Africa. He was born in a relativity wealthy family, descendants from Dutch settlers that had mingled with the native tribes. Marc's mother was a spiritual woman, and she liked to do old-tribal yoga-like exercises. 'Become weightless, store your strength', that kind of exercises. Little did they know that Marc, either thanks to the x-gene, some lingering tribal magic or a combination of both, he actually managed to store the attributes. When he was told to fill himself, he tapped into the weight he had stored over the years, causing him to be heavy enough to fall through the floors to the ground floor. It wasn't before long or he learned that he was able to store other attributes and with youthful enthousiasme he started as a vigilante. 

He was rather successful against non-powered crime, yet the first time he faced a powered villain he was nearly killed. He had to use all of his stored health to turn a lethal wound into a non-lethal wound, yet had to recover for several months. After this experience he contacted Academy and moved to the U.S.

[b]Initial observation report:[/b] Marc seems to be a promising new recruit. He seems genuinely interested in helping people and has his heart in the right place. His teamwork could use some improvement, due to his former vigilante status, luckily, he does not oppose the idea of having to work in a team and he seems eager to improve himself. His technique could do with a lot of improvement, as he seems to rely a lot on his powers instead of skill. During his off-time he tries to store as many of his attributes at once, causing potentially dangerous situations to which he may not react in time.
[b]Training regimen/expertise:[/b] His training focusses mainly on teaching him skills and improving his team-work.
[b]Potential outlook:[/b] Due to the wide range of attributes Marc can store and tap into, he seems a very versatile addition to team, with a wide range of applications.  
[b]Best case scenario:[/b] Marc finishes his education and becomes a valued member of the Avengers. 
[b]Worst case scenario:[/b] Marc might return to being a vigilante. A much bigger threat seems to come from the mental range of his powers. It is unknown what affects this could have. Marc might store away all of his compassion and empathy or call forth all of his stored negative emotions, such as hatred, at once. It is as of yet unknown what these action could have on Marc's mental health.
