Name: Axelis Zabel
Age: 21
Also Known As: Silver Ryu
Appearance: http://2deer.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/kris-1.jpg
Abilities: Silver his power is a high defense power in general, from the center of his spine he can release a liquid silver colored metal that covers his entire body, with crystal like visors on his eyes, the mass can be reshaped to make things like claws or swords, bigger things like wings however need to leave spots on the `skin` open as the mass is limited.
the mass can also be crystallized as the visors indicate for multiple purposes such as turning black to hide in darkness or turn diamond to increase defense some more BUT prevent movement, also the visor can change to give other types of vision such as heat, high speed and even night and zoom
also it has at least 1 other shape it can take, a dragon like shape where its body is covered by blades, it gains wings and a tail, BUT leaves the stomach area and lower legs open as that inside the mouth of the dragon head you can reach Alexis his head (what is both a danger to the hidden identity part and a danger in general for attacks), this shape however increases strength, high jumping due to the strength and heat vision
trough he is pretty powerful his power is filled with weaknesses:
-the "skin" need time to pull over Alexis, its a short time but its still vital as the area that is most important, his front gets covered last, so a quick attack, a sniper shot or something used right when he starts pulling the skin out of his back would go trough the opening before it covers the body completely
the skin is also not perfect, bullets of a normal gun do get stopped but always leave a bruise, a point blank shot or a sniper shot hurts like hell and would surely leave a huge mark and will hurt a long time, perhaps even deal some damage to the muscles under the skin's
-each visor sight has its own weakness, heat vision might be useful to see though a wall but it cant see who is who, high speed will surely leave a splitting headache (at migraine level) and thus cause problems concentrating and keeping up with things, far sight prevents seeing close by, night vision is most likely the only one with no problem but cant see in light area's
-the black gem state is like any gem, a heavy thing so while it hides Ryu, if ryu walks on things like metal or hard ground, chance that he makes sound is high
-diamond might take a sniper or even rocket hit, he cant move so its only useful for defense and its the hardest shape to make
-the dragon shape has open spots on the armor and fixed heat sight so useless in a team fight yet needs team members to cover the weakness parts
-the wings I mentioned are not for flight as the entire armor is to heavy, at most it can glide a little to prevent falling to death
-using any shape and falling in water will let Alexis sink deep in seconds due to the weight it gets in water, Alexis cant move due to the added weight during this and he sinks so fast that pulling the armor back into his back will still leave him to deep to swim back up, the armor would have limited air under water and only the dragon shape could walk under water BUT due open spots lets water in the armor, limiting air more and eventually end with drowning.
there might be some more unknown qualities to the power like a second shape as the dragon or more crystal shapes and visor sights, but he needs to learn them and I will off course first ask if the new trait is acceptable
Views on Mutants: Ryu is a wannabe hero, wanting to be a hero but lacks experience
Personality: Ryu is normally cheerful, and wants to help, be a hero and more, when playing hero he tries to make stupid jokes, he can be a bit stupid at times (like realizing the could have just climbed by using his claws AFTER having been running for 15 minutes before finding a fire stairs and escaping like, or falling and taking diamond shape to break the fall, yet had been smarter to has opened the wings and glided safely) but he is not stupid, he can analyze things quickly most of the times, tends to talk to himself or think out loud, he hates to take a live and normally always looks for other options, but he is smart enough to realize that sometimes he wont have a choice if the live of innocents are on the line.
History:
Alexis had always been a little sheltered from other children, not making friends easily during his childhood, most that did became his friends had some ulterior motive...
It was when he became 16 that he finally found a good friend with a girl and when he was 17 they even became lovers, but it all came down a year later.
When the 2 got to spend the night together for the first time (since dating) a mutant with a lust for money broke into their home, took everything he could get and afterwards took his time to burn and destroy all other stuff n the house, including the residents.
Alexis was the only one that had survived it by pure luck (trough now he wonders if t had not been his power that saved him).
during his ordeal he lost him home, his lover and only friend he has ever had and his parents...
Having seen the burned up corpses of his parents he wished there would be mutants out there to take actions against these horrors, wishing he had some powers during all this so he could have saved the only people that have ever loved him...
needless to say, after his powers did wake up he started to blame himself for not having noticed them before and thus being unable to saved the ones he loved.
Ryu had never noticed his power till a year ago even trough it had activated year before, only during a explosion at a shopping center did he finally realize his power as he survived it, he had no issue with the actual explosion but it made a wall fall on him, his power activated partly, covering his back and arms, preventing the wall from crushing him
after that he started to train how to use his powers and learned what he knows now, taking on the persona of SIlver Ryu
currently he is living in his parents old caravan, having a gas stove and getting water from shops (paying for them with the small heritage his parents left him)
Unable to find or keep a normal job due to multiple reasons
Other:
Wolf shape:
Taking on the wolf shapes his body turns more aerodynamic, walking on all 4's, having a wolf head and actually looks perfectly like a wolf in any way aside its silver color.
The wolf shape increases speed to high levels, also increase agility, able to scale walls to a small degree with the right momentum, it has small claws what is not of much use for attacking and is made purely for scaling the walls, the tail is made from blades and on the chin it a small yet sharp pin, the visor is a high speed sight nonstop, objects can be placed in the back layer in order to safely transport them, the ears take in sounds from all sides working as a small range radar or long range eavesdrops system.
Weaknesses:
-Walking on all 4's means Ryu loses using his hands or most human based traits aside talking.
-it has nearly no offensive ability's as the tail is hard to use in general, the chin pin can get stuck in the target and the paw claws are not made for attacking with, being to shallow.
-the visor just like the dragon cant be changed and will give Ryu a large headache the longer he is in this shape
-the space of the objects on the back is limited of course.
-the ears can only do one of the 2 options at the same time.
quite a lot of weaknesses, but with its speed and agility while not losing defense its only fair.
I doubt it would ever happen, but if Ryu would get kidnapped and they start experimenting with his powers, I have a few idea's depending, each with an different color.
he wont lose the silver power trough
he can always find a new trait of crystal shapes and visors, all based on the situation, its not an upgrade or anything, just a new use that likely is purely for that situation and wont happen again.
like a crystal that can take heat better for example
its the natural power he already has, just felt like making this clearer
