For example, he is able to create a magnetic force field, sustain flight for very long distances, manipulate matter at the sub-atomic level, and perceive the world around himself as patterns of magnetic and electrical energy.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=darkgray]◼   Telepathic Resistance: Magneto has trained himself extensively for fighting telepaths and is resistant to telepathic attacks, with the effects further augmented due to his helmet, his strong will, and his mutation.[/COLOR][/SUP]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]Charles Xavier's dream of assimilation and coexistence was always a foolish, naive notion conceived by a desperate man seeking answers. And when it was put to the test, humankind revealed its true colors in a hideous manner their thoughts of the dream. But ever such the idealist, Xavier never faltered for his dream. His closest friend disagreed and began sharing a more realistic dream, one of subjection to mutantkind as a means to pave the way for the next stage of evolution: the Homo superior. And when it was also put to the test, it not only saw grand-scale devastation but also gave humans ammunition to further spread prejudice about mutants. He realized right then and there that his dream had a fatal flaw. 

Magneto left his previous life behind him in order to find the solution to that flaw. Unlike Xavier, though, he didn't have a manor or the wealth and influence to preach to a wider audience. Nevertheless, that did not stop him from trying; he just did it underground, and it too was a success. A small group of mutants across America banded together as a means of survival and then formed a brotherhood. This brotherhood, inspired by Magento's teachings, began to engage in armed resistance against anti-mutant sentiment. Admittedly intrigued, Magento sought them out with the intention to assist discreetly. But to his surprise, the group composed of young, frightened adults decided to make him their leader out of sheer desperation. 

Sympathetic to their plight, Magneto accepted the role. 

For three years, the Brotherhood conducted a series of attacks concentrated on anti-mutant organizations, activists, and politicians. One of their first acts was the assassination attempt on Reverend William Stryker, a rising anti-mutant activist, before his Sunday sermon. Fortunately for him, the X-Men foiled the attack at the last minute. It marked the beginning of the animosity between the two groups and their leaders that naturally escalated. But then Magento recognized how his disciples were indirectly reharshening the very problem that caused him to question his dream. Therefore, he thought the best course of action to resolve it was to hold a meeting with everyone to explore potential solutions. Only a few hours in it, and Magento found it entirely futile enough to leave them behind. 

That marked the beginning of his self-imposed isolation from the world, as he sought to recontextualize his dream. The time alone made him acknowledge how outright violence and conquest would've ultimately led to the persecution and then genocide of all mutants. So, a different dream was introduced, one where mutantkind must make use of its gift for the sole purpose of survival. Only through formidable might would humankind accept mutants, albeit begrudgingly, to prevent mutual assured destruction. And after three years of formulating his newfound thoughts, Magneto self-published his book and swiftly denounced his old dream soon after. Then afterward, he chose to remain hidden from the world, so as to recuperate after decades of nonstop action.

The world, however, kept on spinning.

Magneto was assumed dead and soon became a myth.

But a few knew the truth.

Amelia Voght was one of them, the only other person who was in his old life. That was how she tracked him down with a hunch. But it became immediately apparent she wasn't just there to check on him. Relations between humans and mutants have deteriorated to their lowest point, with tensions getting dangerously close to a boiling point. This wasn't news to him, nor a surprise in all honesty. What surprised him was that she wasn't alone—seven complete strangers were waiting outside for them. Amelia explained how, in a world where uncertainty is weaponized, only an assertive mutantkind can survive and possibly thrive. She chose to come out of hiding and stand with other mutants who were willing to fight, to die, for that future. All that remained was for her to convince him to lead again.

Magneto, however, didn't need convincing to help out an old friend.

He met his acolytes, who immediately pledged to follow his principles with fervor. It admittedly gave him a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of the Brotherhood's beginnings. Each one of them was willing to follow him into the depths of hell for their own reasons. But they all shared a common goal: to protect their fellow mutants from extinction. Magneto was able to work with that. Genosha was an apartheid technocratic island state located off the coast of Africa that had become one of the fastest-growing countries in the world. David Moreau, the billionaire geneticist turned president, transformed his nation by diversifying its economy and investing in artificial intelligence. All of that, along with a Hollywood-style global marketing campaign, persuaded the international community to lift sanctions placed there in response to its apartheid policies.

Then, the truth was revealed. The administration gradually transferred its powers and responsibilities to an artificial intelligence, becoming the world's first algorithmic republic. The younger population, already resistant to the apartheid system, called for a student protest across the country in response to the revelation. Magneto used it as an opportunity to further existing unrest among the non-white and mutant population affected by apartheid with the help of his Acolytes. A general strike was then called with demands for the government to dismantle the AI, step down, and hold a new presidential election. That increased tensions between the amassing protesters and the state police, who were particularly known for their brutality. But before it escalated to a rebellion, Magneto personally interfered to prevent further bloodshed.

It took him only an hour to depose the government, as most of its officials and Moreau had already fled the country. An interim government was needed after the collapse, and much of the population backed Magento as interim president. He was caught off guard when they chose him instead of someone else, and initially, he wasn't sure if he could even lead an entire state, even with help. But whether purposely or coincidentally, it was the only opportunity for his dream to be fully realized. And he took it, marking a new chapter for the Republic of Genosha.[/indent][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]It has been a long while since I have written nations, and this game has given me a chance to experience it again. Plus, I love Genosha so much that I wrote a paper about it for my X-Men class while pursuing my bachelor's. And I get to write about Magento again, so it's a win-win. 

The major inspirations so far are Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, The Phantom Pain, and 4, as well as the depiction of Genosha in X-Men 97. So expect it to be a political thriller with action mixed in. The basis is simply how a ragtag group of radical misfits comes together to form a nation in defiance of a world that doesn't want them to even exist.

And of course, I welcome any interaction with other mutant characters within and beyond the confines of Genosha. Magento is someone who usually gets his hands dirty, so don't be surprised if he ends up in the states for one reason or another. [/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][hr][/COLOR]
