Name: Luigi Vile Nicknames: Cogboy, Metal Man, Age: 17 Grade:[color=maroon]Mephisto's School for the Wickedly Inclined[/color] , 3rd year. Biography: Luigi Vile is a strange individual, growing up in part of a rural countryside far from Rhea for a majority of his life. However, when he was 14, a group of bandits numbering 7 entered into his home town, and nearly leveled all of it. For while everyone has powers, their skills with their powers, and their effectiveness varies, and the 7 dark souls who wandered into Luigi's life were vicious and destructive. Luigi lost his brother, and his mother in the attack. His father and hum survived due to being trapped under a large amount of rubble during the initial attack, and were left for dead. After the bandits had taken what they were looking for, what that being Luigi has never been able to figure out for the life of him, they simply left like they came, upon the winds of fate. After the attack, the survivors banded together. With their homes in ruins, and winter coming soon, they knew they had to get moving. The best bet was Rhea, a place where such bandits could never harm them again, or take away their loved ones. Not without the young heroes, who were testing themselves in the tournaments held at Rhea, coming down upon them to destroy them. Luigi helped those who were left, turning broken homes and shattered steel into vehicles able to carry those who were left towards Rhea, great metal horses to pull wagons and sleds. It took a few months, and at the start of winter, they arrived at Rhea. The refugees were quickly taken in, and given places to stay. Luigi and his father found a place within Rhea, his father working as a blacksmith as Luigi began schooling there, having found a place to learn in Mephisto's, as due to the loss of most of their valuables in the raid, they arrived poor and not well off. Luigi initially was placed back, two years behind what his age would suggest he should be at due to him being home schooled. However, thanks to his exceptional intellect, and knack for learning, Luigi impressed those who looked down upon him by blazing his way back to his correct grade. Over the three years, he has been a diligent student of Mephisto's, and a pain for many of the teachers there. The reason he's a pain? He enjoys agreeing to do homework for other students in exchange for metal, baubles and other pieces of what appears to be junk. In reality, he utilizes these bits and pieces to create his new augments, working the metal at his father's forge, smeltery and kiln when his father is not utilizing it.

While all powers are somehow offensive based, all come with flaws. Either a shoddy defense leaves someone open to long range attacks, or they lack the ability to strike at distant foes, the power rendered them nigh immobile or maybe even were self destructive and only could be used as a last resort. In old times, when the war raged against the darkness those who stood against it required arms and armor of quality that it could compete with the powers they had been given. To cover their weaknesses, and bolster their strengths. That is where the likes of Luigi would come into play. Luigi's main power, Child of Ares has given Luigi the strangest ability to create marvels of war and destruction, weapons unlike anything the world has seen before. From swords encased in crackling energy, to talismans and watches able to project powerful force fields, to ranged weapons able to harness light itself to attack its targets, Luigi creates weapons made to kill, destroy and obliterate. He is even able to, with enough resources, create planes and tanks of incredible power, spreading war to a grand scale. However, he cannot create these things out of thin air. He requires the resources to actually be able to make them, and sometimes will requires special components to create truly powerful items, such as components from monsters or dangerous to gather ingredients. This could be the acid that drips from the maw of a great devourer to craft a powerful energy source for a war machine, the chitin of a siege beetle to create powerful armor, and so on. [hider=To Long, Didn't Read.] Luigi is an artificer, able to create powerful items if he has the resources, time, and money. They all have a sorta Science Fantasy vibe to them, like WH40K's stuff. Think stuff like this.

[/center] While wielding something he has created, Luigi is able to push it to its absolute limits. They are able to function under circumstances that should normally disable them, such as being in an anti-magic field, or having part of them broken. To render one of Luigi's items unusable in his hands, they'd need to be nearly entirely destroyed. This bonus applies to his augmetics. [See Secondary Power: Flesh is Weak for more details on the augmentics]. However, normally after such intense use, whatever tool he had been pushing normally falls apart after a battle's end. [center] Secondary Power: Flesh is Weak. [/center] Luigi has slowly, but surely been replacing his body with magi-tech cybernetics. His limbs, and most of his torso has been reinforced with steel and magic making him far more harty and durable than the average man, much more physically powerful, but much heavier. Chemical weapons such as toxins and nerve agents are less effective, however he has opened himself up to a weakness to electricity and magnetism. He is constantly replacing more and more of himself, adding in things such as new limbs or weapons mounted to his very body, as he already has several tendrils that end in tools such as clamps, and drills. His flesh willing parts and fuses to these augments, and his body accepts them as new parts of him. He need not fear his body self destructing due to rejecting these new enhancements. [Center] Secondary Power: Machine Mind [/Center] A sub-power of Child of Mars, Luigi is, if given enough time able to reverse engineer nigh anything if he is able to study the item, such as watching it utilized in combat. This ability does not allow Luigi to replicate items made purely from magical energies, such as light constructs or blades of pure magic, but most else is on the table given enough time. Of course, he has to be able to study them, so in the midst of battle this can be difficult...but not impossible. Relationships ((work in progress ere.))
