Agg by friends,
Agghead by bullies.
Augustus, named after a roman Emperor, one of the most notable ones, at that, represents his namesake poorly. He's 5'9 tall, not a lot of muscle on his skinny frame. His skin is naturally a on the more shaded side of the spectrum due to his Mediterranean roots. Olive hues and a surprisingly unflawed complexion, the kid never had much problem with acne, which was always nice for him when few things about his appearance is. He's got dark eyes and matching hair. His hairstyle's unkepmt and he pays little attention to it, half-heartedly he's trying to grow it out to get some sort of Hardrock look, perhaps that would offset his aura of punity.
As previously mentioned, Augustus is skinny, he's a pretty small guy. He's not completely without muscle, though, as he has been running track his entire life - not as a sport, but as a way to avoid getting beaten up all too badly. He dresses modestly in T-shirts and jeans, never off any expensive brands despite having the means to afford a three piece suit for every day of the year.
Organic Transmutation Transformation;
August can change his flesh and blood into other materials. While doing so, he gains properties associated with this material. His abilities could potentially have near endless applications, but so far there is but one material he is able to transmute into, and he has only mastered transmuting individual body parts, full body transformations are far from mastered. His transmutations so far only affects his dermal layers - skin, fat and muscle, they are thusly unable to affect his organs.
Chaosalloy; The 'cool' name Augustus named his power when it is in use. His body takes on a onyx almost space-like shape, becoming jet black with indistinguishable shapes in them. When he is transformed, the part of him that is transformed is as hard as diamonds, he gains increased strength, and when he covers his entire body in it, it becomes like an exoskeleton and he grows another few inches, standing at a total of 6'2. The Alloy is very dense, but moving his bodyparts covered in the alloy is never much of a problem, accounting for the added weight, however is.
Techwizard - Agg loves tech. iphones, Androids, Googles, he does not care. He'll work with anything. He's at home on a message board on the internet learning a new skill he probably will never have to adapt in his real life. He spends a lot of time tinkering with tech, inventing stuff and fidgeting around with thins he shouldn't. His innate intelligence is very important to him, and he holds it very highly, forgoing other aspects of his life for his nerdy ways.
Popculture; He was raised by the TV, having parents who were both too busy with their own careers to care much for him.
Polymath; Augustus is a Polymath, a naturally born genius and has a IQ that is off the charts, while still not being considered Superhuman. His intelligence is 'natural', unlike his other abilities. But, given how his father's an investment banker and a CEO, his mother's a Surgeon, and he's got PHD's en masse on both sides of the family, it's hardly a surprise.
Born into riches, Augusts life seemed like it would be smooth sailing. He was a wunderkin, well beyond his years and everyone knew it. He was sent to the finest boarding schools in the world. But he kept getting kicked out, he was a 'troublemaker' in the regard that trouble always found him. He was always targeted by the other students and quickly became a social outcast. Being the richest kid in rich kid school is about as bad as being the poorest in public school. In retrospect, August doesn't feel that much selfpity about it, others always had it worse than him. He's focusing on the future, at least ever since that day when he did one the few only 'young people mistakes' He and a 'friend'. Jonas - a cool kid from Boarding School, and one of the few who seemed to like him, egged August into commiting a crime.
It wasn't so bad, it was just stealing a few candybars from the local corner store. Well, that is till he saw Jonas sneak around the back with a skimask and a pistol. Jonas robbed the place blind, and when he went for the getaway, August stopped. Panicked, confused and feeling incredibly guilty, he tried to reason with the pistol-whipped shopkeeper. That is, till the shopkeeper got out his shotgun and fired a slug right at Augustus.
He survived. The bullets had fallen off his chest and under his shirt was the jetblack metal that saved his life. He Passed out afterwards, and when he woke up, he was being transported to Gold's Academy For Advanced Younglings. A school for people like him. Not nerds, or polymaths. But people with abilities. The Advanced People.
