[hider=Zachary Mason]
[b]Name:[/b] Zachary Mason
[b]Age:[/b] 24
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Birthplace:[/b] Warshire
[b]Current Home:[/b] Argos, Arcarus

[b]Personality:[/b] Zachary is a highly inquisitive person. When he sees something, his first consideration is generally 'how does it work?' To satisfy this curiosity, he tinkers with machines a lot. Encountering a new situation, he likes to disassemble it and look at it piece by piece and the interrelation between the pieces. Often this curiosity leads him to asking more than he should. He tends away from violence and aggression and more towards fleeing in applicable cases. He relishes technical challenges, although when it comes to living he would prefer that to be simple and straightforward. His general demeanour is cheerful.

[b]Bio:[/b] Zachary was born into a working class family. His mother was a seamstress, creating clothing for the harsh Warshirian weather. His father was a miner, working to collect metals and cores from the earth. He has two brothers and a sister. Whilst his siblings worked towards trades, Zachary's inquisitive mind made him more interested in science. A key point he remembers in his early life was a visit with his family to the capital city, Wintra, at age 7. There he saw the marvellous and masterful technology which Wintra is famed for making. This was a pivotal point, as it gave his longing for inquiry a place to grab hold. Since then he has been deeply interested in machines.

His parents obliged in giving him an academic education. After graduating from school, Zachary moved to Arcarus where he would be able to study at the universities there. In his studies he has obtained a deep knowledge, both theoretical and practical, of the technologies prevalent in the world. At present he has achieved a Masters in Engineering and is working towards his PhD.

[b]Appearance:[/b] (No picture available yet, and not likely to become available, so you'll have to read, imagine and extrapolate) As a sign of his heritage, Zachary is reasonably tall, standing at six feet. He is lightly built for a Warshiran, but this counts him as a medium build for most other places. He has dark-blonde hair, cut short, and a neatly trimmed beard.

[b]Special Traits/Weapons:[/b]
-Sharp, inquisitive mind
-Affinity with machines and technology
-Reasonable endurance (typical for Warshiran)
-No weapons. He's an engineer, not a soldier. He typically doesn't carry around a tool-kit either. He's an academic, not a mechanic. No skill in fighting either.

[b]Kage Type:[/b] Onikage
[b]Kage Name:[/b] Kaa'is

[b]Kage Primary Power:[/b] Metal Manipulation. Kaa'is can move, bend and manipulate metal that is nearby, using a kind of magnetism crossed with telekinesis. This can be used to, but is not limited to, move objects, throw projectiles, manipulate machines, form armour and create new machines from the parts of others. For Zachary, this power can be used to make otherwise very heavy metal objects very light. It can also be used for limited self-levitation (limited being he can't stay up there for long), in cases where Zachary is on a metal platform or wearing metal armour. When in metal armour, Kaa'is can also enhance Zachary's movement and strength (or forcibly manipulate it), by moving and manipulating the armour. The range follows the inverse square law, meaning he has to exert an ever-increasing amount of effort to move things as they get further away. Say, he can pick up something small that is 50 meters away, but something very heavy can only be picked up when it is directly beside him.

[b]Kage Secondary Power:[/b] Machine Reading. Kaa'is can telepathically analyse machines on contact. 'Machine' in this case is used in a very, very broad sense. Living things can be considered biological machines, so can thus be analysed. Computer programs can be considered digital machines, and thus can also be analysed. There is a catch though. Analysis requires understanding. In order for an analysis to make any sense, either Kaa'is or Zachary must have an understanding of how the particular machine works, in much the same way a book only makes sense if the reader understands the language the book is in. As Zachary has a wide understanding of many physical things, this makes him an appealing Conduit for Kaa'is as this allows for a wider use of this power. Analysing a machine takes a few uninterrupted seconds, taking longer for more complex machines. Once an analysis is complete, it can be maintained for a real-time viewing of its operation. Kaa'is' primary ability and Zachary's knowledge can be applied to manipulate said machine, which can be used for repairing, sabotaging or repurposing it.

[b]Kage Personality/Description:[/b] Kaa'is is manipulative, greedy and cheeky. He loves to stir up trouble among humans, and delights in chaos. There are two reasons he does not completely take over Zachary. One is that he needs Zachary to be sane in order to get any use out of his mind. The other is that he loves taunting and manipulating him. To Kaa'is, tempting and twisting this human to do his bidding, toying with him, is much more fun than having free reign in a human body.
In his physical form, Kaa'is takes the form of many thick silvery metallic wires which can stretch and shrink. The wires typically arrange themselves to be of human form, but can scatter apart and regroup.
