[ b]Christian Name: [/b] Heinrich Schmiedfeuer [ b]True Name:[/b] Forge [ b]From:[/b] Germany [ b]Powers:[/b] Heinreich's power is simple, he is able to store kinetic energy and able to release them at once. Sun and heat can not be stored but impacts of blunt weapons, collisions or a small amount of falling damage. The limit has yet to be tested but a mace which was once swung by a trained knight with full force only left a scratch on him, that said he could still store more energy but the limit how much at once was tested this way. Sharp objects are still able to penetrate Heinrich, it seems he needs to cover atleast a certain amount of surface of an object. The stored energy can be used to strengthen Heinrich's attacks or to boost his speed for a short amount of time. Right now he is only able to release the stored energy at once but is trying to learn how to release it rational over time. While Heinrich seems to be normal on the first glance he turns more and more abdominal when he absorbs more and more energy. His skin would gain an unnatural redish tone and his eyes would appear to be darker nearly to the point of being black. He sure gains a diabolical look this way, also he would emit a constant heat, probably from his blood rushing through his vessels at top speed. [ b]Pros:[/b] Heinrich made his living as a smith and so is highly skilled in it, swords, tools and armor are easily crafted by him but his power and a rather brutal attitude is keeping him away from white smithing. Heinrich is rather bulky and his body is naturally resistant against cold or heat, in combination with his power he can survive in great cold or heat as well but constant use will put strains on his body. His powers gains him a huge resistance against blunt weapons or otherwise bone breaking damages. He simply absorbs the impact and uses them later on. Heinrich is very outgoing bit also keeps a healthy mistrust to people he does not know, one has to proof himself to be called friend or to be treatend as a foe. [ b]Cons:[/b] Heinrich isn't too smart, he may seem dumb at some times but naturally he is not but still do not suspect him to speak several languages or to solve a complicated mathematical problem. He knows what he needs and even a tad more but aside of that he neither has the interest nor the knowledge. Heinrich is very hot blooded in fights and quickly looses control over his powers and so it isn't too smart to pick a fight with him. Storing the power for too long is causing the absorbed forces to be caused on his internal organs, it is dangerous and so Heinrich has to keep an eye on it. Furthermore storing the power also comes with a painful urge to release it which grow stronger with tine passing. [ b]Virtue:[/b] Strong willpower, friendly. outgoing, honest [ b]Vice:[/b] Grumpy, hot headed, over protective, quick to judge [ b]Favored weapon:[/b] Heinrich knows his way with many weapons, not mastering them but atleast knowing how to use them but his most favorable are hammers. He can easily use his powers with them and his years as a smith made them trust worthy. His weapon of choice is so a large smithing hammer. [ b]Favored profession/Labor:[/b] Smith [ b]Brief bio: [/b] Heinrich was born is Wesel, a rather wealthy Hanse city and so an important bastion for many travelers of many heritage. The city was guarded and so the chance of being attacked by bandits was low. The Hanse sure kept the peace around their cities. His father was a smith and his mother was coloring clothes. Both quickly earned money and so were rather wealthy since his mother colored in a wanted and rare red via lead paint and his father was the most craft smith around. Heinrich was the first child and the last since his mother quickly faded away to the extensive handling with lead, a poisonous metal which would be revealed centuries after. Naturally Heinrich would be raised by his father to become a smith as well and well they began quickly. Heinrich quickly learned his way around and even thou he became stronger than his father he lacked the precision. Early they both also found out about Heinrich's gift but his father took it as a blessing of the gods since their mother faded so quickly and so both kept shut about it. Many years passed and Heinrich was now also taking jobs as a smith, while his father did the handsome things, Heinrich did tools and blades for the soldiers. It was then at Heinrich was 20 that a wealthy Hanse merchant wanted Heinrich and his father to forge a sword for him. Both did their best and as the merchant arrived he received a sword which could be called legendary. The merchant was surprised by their skill but was neglecting the pay. Angered his father spoke up just to be quickly silenced by armored knights protecting the merchant. They struck Heinrich's father down with their armored hands. Heinrich jumped between them and their father and received hit after hit and so getting stronger with each hit received that way, it was then as a Knight drew his mace and wiped it over Heinrich's head. He then released his power and literally punched through the knight's face. Heinrich had to flee but then found himself quickly guided towards Xavier....he promised that his father was save and that no one would ever dare to oppose him again, yet he was still wanted. Heinrich trusted that man and accepted the offer to stay with him.....maybe it was because the whole time he heard the man speak....it was only inside his head....

Many mistook it for a tattoo and so naturally accusing him of paganism since the spiral is a symbol coming from the religion of the "World's tree"
