Name: Metan (AKA, The Iron Plague)
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Height: 6'1
Weight: 190 pounds
Hair Color: Blond (spiky)
Eye Color: Green
Notable Facial Qualities: Has was scar on his forehead that travels diagonally from the the upper left side of his face all the way to above his right eye.
Smoker(?): No
Drinker(?): Not usually (sometimes has a drink after a very successful mission)
Drug User(?): No
Personality: Proud and vain, he looks down on everyone who doesn't have an ability, and depending on how powerful or skilled an ability user is, he will consider himself superior to that person in every conceivable way. He does show respect to people who show strength, courage, and various other qualities that he deems a good warrior should have. He hates people who lack these qualities though, such as weaklings and cowards. He also has some sadistic tendencies, and plays around with his opponents in a fight, usually not finishing them off right away. He prefers to fight opponents head on by overpowering them, although he is perfectly capable of improvising and approaching problems in an intellectual way if he has to, such as on various "jobs" he performs.
Fears/Phobias: Metan is afraid of paralysis, which stems from two things. When he was young, he got sick with a fever and was resting in bed. When he tried to get up out of bed, he found that he couldn't move his body, since he was suffering from Sleep Paralysis. The sensation of attempting to move his body but not being able to move terrified him; he wasn't even able to scream. This only lasted for 5 seconds, but it scared him more then any other thing had in his life. The second even was after an accident he had that paralyzed him from the waist down until fully recovered from the injury (more on that in his backstory). He is also claustrophobic, something that extends from his fear of paralysis. He feels trapped in tight spaces and is worried that there wouldn't be enough room to move or get out. He is capable of controlling this fear of his if he absolutely has to, unlike with his fear of paralysis.
Other Characteristic Flaws: He is proud, vain, and slightly sadistic. Although he comes up with carefully laid plans for his various "jobs" and things he really wants, he can be very impatient and act impulsively in many situations, without thinking about the possible consequences. He often speaks his mind without thinking or caring how his remarks would effect other people, and has a habit of taunting and making fun of his opponents in battle (although he can also does this to people he isn't fighting, and sometimes even does it to clients who hire him).
----------------------------
Power Set: Magnetism: Metan can control magnetic fields, which allows him to do various things.
Individual Powers (List at least four):
1: Magnetic Shield: Metan is protected by a magnetic shield that protects him from attacks that are effected by magnetism. He mainly developed this technique to deal with bullets and other metallic projectiles. However, it is incapable of protecting him from some abilities and close combat (assuming it doesn't involve anything metal like a sword), and he has to take the shield down if he wants to use his powers offensively.
2: Iron manipulation: This is by far his most versatile and favorite technique. Using his powers, he manipulate the iron in the ground, usually in the form of sand, to change into various shapes such as a sword, disk, or any other shape he needs to fit according to the situation at hand.
3: Repel/Attract. Using magnetism, Metan is able to manipulate certain objects. He cannot fully lift objects that weigh more then 5 tons, although if something that weighs more then that moves towards him quickly, he can manipulate it so that avoids him, although this manipulation is limited.
4: Technological Manipulation: Metan is able to manipulate the machines and is capable of operating most technology simply by touching it. He most be touching the subject to do this though. His most prominent example of this ability is him being able to control the nano-machines inside his body in order to keep his body repared (more on that in the background)
How your character acquired his/her/it's powers: Obtained powers through government experimentation in an attempt to create a powerful, obedient psychic. They only half-succeeded in this regard.
Notable Flaws with Power set (List at least 2 preferably more): Can only use one ability at a time. For example, he must take down his magnetic shield in order to use any of his offensive abilities. Also he must stop manipulating iron sand or his technological manipulation abilities in order to deal with incoming objects that he has to move with his repulsion ability. There is also a lag time between switching powers, usually 2 to 3 seconds. He is weak to conditions that break up his magnetism (a skilled electric user can negate some of his magnetism effects for example.) If he cannot manipulate the nanomachines in his body. His own powers can also be used against him, such as tricking him into pulling a heavy object onto himself with his attract ability.

Nationality: Russian
Occupation: Various dirty jobs, although primarily he is a contract killer.
Background Information: Metan was born in Moscow before it was devastated in the war. He lived his life there for the majority of his life. When he was 19, he was driving home when his car slipped on some ice the road, which resulted in him crashing his car into a tree. He was paralyzed from the waist down. Shortly after that, a group of people who claimed to work for the government approached him and asked him if he wanted to participate in an experiment that could possibly cure him and allow him to walk again. Apparently they were seeking out people who were heavily injured and were willing to volunteer in the experiment. Metan accepted without hesitation, and was taken away to a facility that was located far outside of the city. There, they placed nano-machines in his body, which helped healed him, although he had no control over them at the time. Metan soon realized that these people didn't have his best interests at heart. They didn't bother to inform his family that he had gone away, and revealed their intentions to turn him into a psychic. Back before the war, psychics were extremely rare, although they were not completely unheard of. Through horrible experimentation, he acquired his powers. He was also trained to fight and use his powers proficiently in that regard. The Russian government believed that they would eventually be able to create more psychics and use them as a new weapon. Then World War 3 arrived, and in the confusion caused by the blow struck against Moscow, Metan escaped. Although this was a bittersweet victory since his entire family was dead. Since then he has worked primarily as a contract killer for various people, moving from place to place in order to prevent people from tracking him. There has never been a job he has failed to this date.
Alligance: Villain
I.E. I'm a bit worried about the backstory part concerning him obtaining his powers before the war, since I don't know if psychics were totally non-existent at that point. I may have to change it accordingly. Also it should be noted that any character can hire Metan for a job, although there will be some sort of price involved.
