Archetype: Size Manipulator
Name: Shinji Yazaki
Alias: "Sentinel"
Age: 20
Powers:
- Sentinel Suit: Shinji's Sentinel suit allows him to grow up to fifty meters tall and gain superhuman feats. The armor is powered by Shinji himself so overuse will leave him tired even to the point of fainting as signified by his mechanical Color Timer. He can carry his suit on the go, for it can merge into a folded "box", allowing him to store it in his backpack, and is great for when he needs to save the day when he isn't at home.
- Size Manipulation: Shinji can manipulate his size up to fifty meters when dealing with a giant opponent and back. He can be in this size for a very long time, up to several hours, until he either goes back to regular size manually or eventually tires out and changes automatically.
- Superhuman Strength: Shinji possess natural superhuman strength, in which he can lift objects twice his weight. He can also dent metal.
- Durability: Shinji is quite durable, more so than a regular human, and can take multiple powerful hits and still be able to fight. He can also heal from more grievous wounds and be fully healed in as little as two days. This applies to both in and out of the suit.
- Extraordinary Jumper: Shinji can leap great distances thanks to his muscle strength particularly in his legs when within the armor. He can also survive falls from heights that would kill a person.
- Focus: While Shinji's strength is his own when he fights, the suit helps him to tap into his inner potential, allowing him to do incredible feats of strength and power. In the suit, he can lift objects four times his size and can punch right through metal.
- Protection: The suit also provides Shinji with extra protection besides his own durability.
- Energy Blades: On his arms Shinji's armor is armed with energy weapons, contained blades of highly-concentrated plasma energy that he can use in several ways. The Energy Blades, being made of electrical plasma energy, are powered by Shinji's own body, so overuse can tire him. They can be used as:
- Blades: Like their name suggests, the Energy Blades are blades of energy plasma that can slice through many conventional matter. He can cut through a solid stone projectile several feet thick in one swing.
- Defense: The Energy Blades can be used to block energy attacks.
- Acceleration: Shinji can use the Energy Blades to propel himself at incredible speeds.
- Thrusters: As well as propelling himself forward Shinji can use them to fly through the air.
- Plasma Ray: Shinji can fire beams of plasma energy from the palms of his hands, allowing him to issue long-ranged attacks against his foes. If he combines his palms together while firing, he can fire an even large beam, with double the power.
- Ultra-Punch: Shinji can power up a very strong punch, created by plasma energy, allowing him to punch through almost anything. This, however, takes up a lot of energy and requires intense focus on the opponent. If disturbed, the attack will fail.
- Limiter: Shinji's suit is outfitted with a limiter holding back the amount of energy his suit can absorb from him, which is signified by the eyes in his helmet going red. Upon doing so Shinji receives a power boost, gaining greater strength, speed and endurance but has a limited amount of time before he is completely drained of energy.
- Mimicry System: When forced into combat and in need to protect his identity, Shinji can use this device to appeared as his armored alter ego. However, this change is in appearance only and Shinji has no access to the devices on his suit.
Weaknesses: Despite these natural enhancements, Shinji is still a regular human. As a result, he can still be killed. If he wastes all of his energy in one battle, he can faint and pass out in mid-battle, possibly even dying depending on the circumstances.
Alignment: Hero
Personality: Shinji is what many people call an average teenage person. He works at an average job, stays at an average apartment, and still goes to college. He is, however, a genius when it comes to technical situations, enough that he can modify his own power suit for battle against crime. He is also highly courageous, even when he'll be fighting a much more dangerous opponent. He is also caring towards citizens, caring for their safety, but sometimes cocky when in battle.
Bio: Shinji Yazaki was born in New Athens on February 13th. His family was quite normal for the most part, only his father, Hatsu Yazaki, being the scientist at the tech lab. He had created a suit of armor that can be used to fight crime among the city and help citizens in need. However, being too old to use the suit, he passed it on to his son, who was 17 at the time, in which he took the responsibility as a superhero. He has fought approximately 38 foes within the last 3 years since he gained this responsibility. However, needing to also concentrate on normal matters in life, he only uses the suit when it is needed the most, while trying to keep his identity a secret.
Storylines: I'm not exactly sure what specific storylines Shinji can take, but I'm thinking on giving him a rival or arch-nemesis in which to fight against. Otherwise, Sentinel can go along with almost any story you can throw at him for he is very flexible.
