Otherwise jeans a shirt and a jacket covered in pockets with various items, including whatever he is reading at the moment inside them. Generally clean shaven and still relatively well muscled, a few small scars accumulated over the years from accidents and one more recent when he accidentally stabbed himself with his power.

After a lifetime of searching for purpose he had effectively given up on finding something better until the day the universe decided to drop a superpower on his lap. This has given him purpose, while it may not be much now his ability grows a little each day and practicing it gives him a sense of empowerment that has been missing, of potential and of hope for a future where he can control his fate. He hopes to use the potential strength to change the world, to bring down those who currently have traditional power with his new strength if its upper limit is as high as he hopes. Generally enjoys reading, metal music, drinking and communism. Despite his general distaste with his position he has come to enjoy the more maintenance side of his work, learning how to fix stuff is probably the only interesting part of his job so while the school may not be the most clean many of its various boilers, computers, ovens and other machines owe their continued existence to his researched bodges, first with duct tape and now with odd metal growths. While not the most optimistic of individuals he tries to get along with others, particularly those who are in a similar position to himself.

[/indent] [color=cd7f32]● [u] O R I G I N S T O R Y [/u] ●[/color] [indent]Probably the last time he was inspired to do anything was at his time in university, while learning about history, the ongoing and repeating patterns of the wealthy having both all the power and yet no interest in trying to govern fairly and only seeking to enrich themselves. For example the Roman Republic was a corrupt and self serving system, plagued again and again by the need for wealth distribution. He joined in with local protests and organisations dedicated to the cause of socialism, yet these causes never got anywhere and he eventually started drinking heavily as a result of his disillusionment with the idea that he could change the world with his words and actions. Having spent most of his time in university either drunk or campaigning for socialist revolution he found himself with a relatively poor degree in Classics & Ancient History and relatively few prospects. In the end he ended up in a brief stint in the military and his attitude, while not allowing for any exemplary action meant that he got through the it by going with the flow so to speak, a general disinterest in disobedience is almost discipline. The main operation he was involved in was Operation Provide Comfort, where he provided security of the headquarters, Kurdish refugee camps, and convoy security. As a result most of his time was spent on guarding things and while he did on multiple occasions see combat it mostly involved driving off hostiles from attacking whatever he was guarding. All in all what he got out of it was the physical training, something he maintains to a lesser degree even today and a greater appreciation for all those roman soldiers who returned home only to learn they had nothing to go back too he had read about in Uni. Returning home he ended up drifting from job to job and from place to place, eventually ending up in this out of the way town as the school janitor. There he stayed for the next 8 years, generally getting to know the town and being bored out of his skull. After coming down with the sickness and taking some days off he returned to work only to accidentally stab himself when he discovered his power by stabbing his hand with a nail he was holding. Using his wound to take another day off he spent it learning how to use his power without self injury, mainly by making lots of small statuettes out of coins and trying to lift them. He is generally keeping this a secret till he can use it to properly defend himself and not just make trinkets, though also on the lookout for others with power, it is good to know who the potential threats/kindred spirits are if you plan on changing the world. Is considering making a suit, or at least a mask using his power.[/indent] [hr][hr] [center][color=cd7f32][h2][u]T H E M U N D A N E[/u][/h2][/color][/center] [color=cd7f32]● [u] S U P E R P O W E R [/u] ●[/color] [indent]Metal manipulation.[/indent] [color=cd7f32]● [u] P O W E R C L A S S I F I C A T I O N [/u] ●[/color] [indent]Ascendant[/indent] [color=cd7f32]● [u] A B I L I T I E S [/u] ●[/color] [indent]The ability to shape and lift metal with his mind. He can take existing metal and stretch warp and mold it without the need for tools or heat. He can also levitate metal. Both of these are far easier when touching the metal itself. An interesting effect is that this touching can be transferred along the entire length of an object, so wires and cables are an optimum thing to manipulate as the touching effect transfers up their entire length. At the moment his mental muscles limit the amount of metal that can be shaped/moved and the range distance is quite limiting. As a result he is restricted to things like slowly floating small metal objects like coins and small tools, fusing locks shut, making small statuettes, improvised welding, screwing with machinery by messing up their internals, making small weapons/tools on the fly out of plain metal, making larger metal objects slightly easier to move yet no less heavy, using long wires he is touching as tendrils [/indent] [color=cd7f32]● [u] W E A K N E S S E S [/u] ●[/color] [indent] Wrapping his head around how to move or shape something only with his mind is difficult and as result he generally has to move in a way that corresponds to an action, reaching out and pulling to grab something, pushing to toss something, actively molding an object in his hands etc. Also the further an object is beyond his reach the less he can effect it.
