[color=black][u]Powers[/u][/color]
The Blue Beetle Scarab has grafted itself onto Karsin's spine and allows him to access a large variety of weapons, and abilities. Karsin is able to call upon the Scarab, activating the suit. Stemming from where the Beetle is upon Karsin's back, and spreading outward the Scarab generates an extremely high-tech suit of powered armor around his body. The armor is resilient enough to withstand hits from heavy hitters and gives him the strength to throw around small trucks at base strength, though has shown the ability to amplify strength if needed, the exact extent of this is unknown (50 Tons). While not activated, the Scarab is still able to telepathically communicate to Karsin, as well as give him access to some of it's more base level functions, such as the ability to cloak both itself, and Karsin from 21st-century technology, wireless internet connection, as well as it's tracking systems and Scarab sight, making him an excellent candidate for infiltration and undercover information gathering missions. Using nano-technology, the Scarab is able to heal Karsin's body at an accelerated rate. Karsin is also able to create small blasts of electricity from his fingers, able to incapacitate a normal human, and possibly stun a powered individual, but nothing else. Karsin is also able to manifest only partial parts armor, such as the wings or the energy blaster.

[color=black]Scarab Sight:[/color]The Scarab can scan people who Karsin encounters, informing him of any major physical conditions, as well as being able to scan and identify and metahumans. It can also identify individuals related to those who they have already encountered, via genetic analysis. The Scarab is able to identify thought patterns, allowing it to see if something is sentient. 

[color=black]Armor Reconfiguration:[/color] The armor is able to reconfigure itself to create a wide array of tools and weapons, including an energy blaster, grappling hook, a sword and shield, energy cannon, claws, a set of powerful blades attached to the hands, over a foot long, as well as a pair of wings, allowing Karsin to hover and fly with extreme maneuverability, among other things. When flying, Karsin is able to manifest a jet engine of sorts, allowing Karsin to fly at hypersonic speeds, at the expense of his high maneuverability. The Scarab is also able to tailor its blasts for use against specific opponents, such as suppression blasts if faced with a mob, or Kryptonite radiation against a Kryptonian. 

[color=black][u]Weaknesses[/u][/color]

[color=black]Magnetic Shielding:[/color] Strong magnetic fields disrupt the Scarab's ability to read new, or track DNA. 

[color=black]Reach Tech:[/color]The Scarab's armor can be breached by the weapons of other Scarabs. Equally, however, the Scarab is able to breach other Scarabs' armor. Other Reach tech may also have unknown and potentially dangerous effects on the Scarab. 

[color=black]Magic:[/color]The Scarab has a strange relationship with magic. While it is aware of magic, it doesn't exactly understand it. It is able to perceive, absorb, and disrupt magical energies. While it is able to call up anti-magic effects, allowing him to dispel magics, he is unable to create any special counter-measures for magical opponents, and a competent magic user could offer a problem for Karsin. 
 
[color=black][u]Notes[/u][/color]

Karsin constantly speaks to the Scarab, telepathically. 

Despite his experience with the Scarab, Karsin still has not unlocked it's full potential and lacks the capability of using the Scarab to it's highest extent. Despite the Scarab's tremendous power, Karsin simply doesn't have enough experience to wield it correctly.

[u]BRIEF Bio[/u]
Karsin was born in a Portland, Oregon. His life wasn't super eventful, he participated in a lot of sports through school, anything he could really. Soccer team? He was on it. Basketball team? He was on it. Wrestling team? He was on it. Outside of school Karsin further pursued self-defense, partaking in both kendo and kickboxing. Karsin wanted to further his training, and possibly become pro once the time was right, but that all changed when the scarab bonded with Karsin. 

One night Karsin awoke to a loud crashing sound outside of his home, and a bright flame shining into his home. Karsin rushed outside to investigate, only to be greeted with a small crater and a dying flame, he looked around a little longer before deciding to return inside confused as to what exactly had happened. As Karsin began to make his way back inside, he felt a crawling sensation running up his back before hearing a loud [i]"clink"[/i]. Karsin dropped to the floor, horrendous pain shooting throughout his entire body before he faded to unconsciousness. He woke up the next day to find that he now had Blue Beetle attached to his spine, and began to do some research into the previous Blue Beetle's, before deciding to follow in their footsteps. 

He began to do some hero work on his own all over Oregon, branching out into other states occasionally but staying most to his home state. As Karsin began to adjust to life with the Beetle, he began to be able to use it more efficiently, as well as on a higher level. As Karsin began to make a name for himself, he got an unexpected visit from a member of the Justice League, Red Tornado, who had said they'd been sent to catalog the arrival of a new Blue Beetle. Karsin took quite the interest in the Android and asked her a multitude of questions to which she was happy to reply. When Karsin asked if there was any way she could help him figure out how to use his abilities better, to which she admitted she was not knowledgeable of Reach Tech, though could offer to take Karsin under her wing, and assist him on his path to becoming a great hero. 

[hider=Sample Post]

[color=red]"There's no way I'm letting you get away, Shaggyman!"[/color] Red Tornado screamed out as she flew quickly across the street, after the fleeing Shaggyman. 

[color=deepskyblue]"Don't worry, I got him!"[/color] Karsin yelled out as he targeted Shaggy Man with his tracking system, before releasing a blast that sent him hurtling into a nearby wall. Blue dove down to Shaggy's position, ramming his shoulder into the hulking monster, before turning to release another blast into the beast. Shaggy Man swung his arm, catching Blue and attempting to toss him into a nearby building, but Blue was able to take flight and direct himself back towards Shaggy man, who was now subdued by Red Tornado. 

Blue quickly came to Shaggy Man's position, promptly questioning him with the aid of Red Tornado before rendering the villain unconscious and bringing him to the authorities. 

Red Tornado looked out into the city, it was a dark, but quiet night. Much more peaceful than what either hero was used to, though they didn't complain. It was always nice to have an easy night, though it did seem to make them a little on edge, but supposedly that is to be expected. 

[color=red]"Are you sure you're ready for this?"[/color] [color=silver]The android said, not turning her head to face Karsin.[/color]

[color=deepskyblue]"We've been over this a thousand times, I can handle this."[/color] [color=silver]Karsin said, fiddling with his thumbs before crossing his arms.[/color]

[color=red]"I understand, but this is entering the big leagues. I just want to make sure you understand what this means."[/color]

[color=deepskyblue]"I do, and I appreciate your concern, but I assure you that I really am ready."[/color]

[color=red]"Very well, I shall notify the others of your decision."[/color][color=silver] Red Tornado said, before taking off to inform the league of his decision, leaving Karsin alone for the time being.[/color][/hider]
