Basic Information

Name: Nickolas C. Slater
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Q
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Height: 5’11
Weight: 171
Faction: Vanguard

Appearance

Hair Color: Dark brown, almost black.
Eye Color: Green.
Ethnicity: Australian American/ Caucasian.
Physical Appearance: Nick is an average sized adult caucasian male in his mid twenties. He’s fairly well built, not super muscular, but manly enough to be considered attractive if that’s what you’re looking for. He has a V shaped body with a wide chest and broad shoulders. He looks like a person who runs often. Nick here has long, dark brown hair that goes down to his eyebrows. Nick has a round faced that ends in a sharp chin. He has a somewhat small, but wide nose and thin almond eyes that are an average distance apart. Along his chin face is the average and very common Australian scruff that he just can’t seem to get rid of. He always seems to have a shit eating grin plastered to his face. He has a few scars on his face, the most notable being a large one on his chin that looks like a small laceration. He wears a scar glove on his right hand to cover up a bad electrical burn. It has caused him to lose most feeling in that hand and while he can still use it to the same extent he can his other hand, it does limit his dexterity.

Attire: Mostly jeans and t-shirts. Hoodies if it weren't so damn hot in Louisiana. Often wears a silver watch and sunglasses. While working he wears mainly some really beat down jeans and a shitty white tank top that has all kinds of stains on it from car fluids and soot. His T-shirts usually have the Vanguard symbol on the back.

Personality

Outward & Innate Personality:
Nick is a dense, impulsive, and otherwise a general idiot who still acts like he’s seventeen despite being in his mid twenties. He’s smart, sarcastic as hell, and some would call him clever. He’s a kind of person you have to have an acquired taste for to like, which is a nice way of saying he’s a bit of a dick sometimes. This being said while he is an asshole from time to time he is surprisingly well liked (this reason alludes even him) and thought as humorous. He is a good friend when he needs to be though, knowing when to stop with the satire and be there for someone. 
Hobbies/Interests: Work on his car, pick up girls.
Skills/Talents: He’s able to play more than Hot Cross Buns on the guitar at this point. He works as a mechanic for the Vanguard. He’s fairly smart despite what some people may think. Good with his hands.
Prized Possession: His car.
Quote(s): “On the count of three, I will flip your car.”
History/Bio: Nick here is a graduated students of the well acclaimed Academy 218. He left fairly soon after he graduated. He was a full time student and was able to expand on his ability to use magnetism. His mother passed away when he was young and he’s been living with his father ever since. After college he moved to Louisiana and has been in the Vanguard for the past while. Nothing super interesting there.
Family: Father, currently lives elsewhere in the USA.

Relationships

Relationships: Placeholder, he’s only been in the vanguard for about a year and a half, and while he’s probably one of the more powerful and experienced meta humans, he has yet to show his ability, as he’s a mechanic and hasn’t been on the front lines much. Due to this he hasn't met anyone notable, and no one has really gone out of their way to talk to him.

Abilities

Power Class: Super System, Cosmic, Elemental, Energy.
Power: Nick has the ability to control Electromagnetism on a very high level. Not quite to the level of Magneto, but he does have the power to use it in just about every other way. His ability extends to magnetizing otherwise nonmagnetic metals and objects, such as wood or your feet, and can effectively stick you to the floor and make it very difficult for you move, or move at all. His ability usually manifests itself in combat as a form of electromagnetic telekinesis. He can apply it in many incredible ways, such as EMP generation, the detections He also has the ability to detect electricity based waves, and disperse electricity or energy based attacks with very little effort. I’d refer to the page of [url=http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Electromagnetism_Manipulation]Electromagnetism[/url] to see it’s potential applications, but be mindful he hasn’t had the time and experience required to master the more advanced techniques. Nick also has minor enhanced healing. Nothing even close to wolverine level, but enough for small things to heal fairly quickly. Nick also has very limited telekinetic abilities to his power that allow him to do the unexplainable with things he does magnetically.

Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: His powers give out after overuse. This can usually be seen when his nose begins to bleed. Magnetism is relatively ineffective if you're too far away. His ability is limited to his experience level, and he doesn’t know everything about it. He can’t pull the iron out of your blood, don’t worry. His ability can be overused, just like any other power, and physically he’s just any other human and just as weak to physical punches as any other normal person. I’d just recommend coming at him with something not made of metal. Nonmetallic objects, while capable of being magnetized and used, take more time and energy to control to the same degree metals can be. He doesn’t NOT have the ability to manipulate electricity, only the ability to disperse it and to not be affected by it. In order to block an electrical attack he must be paying attention to it and ready for the incoming attack. He is not constantly immune to the power. His power manifests itself indirectly and almost telekinetically. The only difference between it and telekinesis is that living beings are immune to being magnetized and that his power manifests itself indirectly by basically throwing objects at peoples. If you are big enough and strong enough to catch said object, you’re alright, and if you can shoot it out of the air you’re alright. If you can overcome his pull telekinetically you’re also alright. His ability to telekinetically bend objects is limited to metal, and while he can throw things with it, he doesn’t have the ability to bend and manipulate nonmetallic objects such as wood like he can metal.

Other: Drives a very tricked out white Camaro.
