Name: Edward Halden
Age: 22
Apparent Age: 22
Gender: Male
Hair: Buzzed, Black
Eyes: Brown
Appearance:
Code Name: Magnum
Powers: Magnetism: Like Magneto, Edward can sense and move metallic objects. Unlike Magneto, Edward can only move so much, the heaviest thing he had ever lifted was a small car and that is physically/mentally draining. He can, however, effectively slow down metallic objects larger than a small car but he can not stop them. He also can not manipulate any metal that is behind a wall, or inside a human but he can sense it.
Instead of wearing metal all over his body and lifting himself up to fly, Edward uses random metal debris as a board to levitate on for which he magnetizes himself to with metal washers on the bottom of his shoes.
Background:
Child Hood
Edward Halden was born twenty-two years ago somewhere in New York. As a baby he showed no signs of his mutant abilities so he managed to have a pretty normal life up until High school, his freshman year. Strange occurrences began to happen around him. Computers he used often became scrap, televisions screens went bad, and he started to have strange feelings around metals.
One day, while Edward was home, he experimented to see if it was everything else that had a problem and not him. However, he soon discovered it was him. He managed to get onto his parents computer, and suppress his powers long enough to do some research. He discovered that a lot of what was happening could be due to magnetism.
His experiments continued that day, even when his parents returned home he secluded himself in his room and began to experiment with various different metals trying to make them move. The first object he ever moved was a spoon, and on that day he discovered he was a mutant.
Adult
Secretly, Edward Halden kept training with his powers and becoming more efficient. He never told anyone of what he was capable of doing, and he learned to suppress the magnetic field his body generated which often broke electronic devices. Halden didn't know what to do with his powers but eventually the power overwhelmed him and he decided to rob a bank for money.
He disguised himself so that nobody would recognize him, and held up a bank for all of its money. He used bags that he put pieces of metal in to lift them up and carry them while he was on the run. His get away was a manhole. He used his magnetic field to disrupt all the electronic devices, and the cops were unable to receive any sort of distress call. By the time they arrived Halden was already in another state.
Halden robbed several banks, adding to the mutants bad reputation but he was never caught and he was rich. Rich enough that he no longer had to rob any banks. He settled down in Florida in a beach front condo, started a small chain of convenience stores, and was content with life. That was until mutants were beginning to be hunted down.
Current
Edward, even though being a criminal, was still a decent person and didn't want to stand idly by as innocent people suffered because of the actions of bad mutants, including himself. Seeing the errors of his ill gotten money Halden opened a large apartment complex for which mutants can rent out apartments at very low prices. The building was built with magnetic plates all around it which disrupted mutant detection devices. These apartments were a neutral zone for all mutants and that no mutant may fight another mutant.
Anything else you'd like to add: Halden carries a pouch containing metal balls which he uses to shoot enemies with. He hardly ever uses them because of how deadly he can be with them.
Sample RP:
Dinner was served everyday at 7:00pm on the first floor within the cafeteria. There was always a wide variety of foods for the occupants to choose from and eat. Halden always made public appearances, and often set the tables himself using his magnetic abilities to play forks, spoons, and knives in place. "hey Halden! you missed a plate" called one of the renters, Halden lifted a set of spoons up and levitated them over to the table.
Suddenly, there was a vibration within Edwards pocket, and he pulled out a black, sprint, katana. "Eddy speaking..." He grew silent as he listened in on the conversation. Halden was happy about the news he just received, another mutant attack on humans, a couple dead, and many injured. Another spike toward mutant extinction. The lights of the building flickered from Haldens grief, his magnetic field disrupting all the electrical devices.
From behind, a woman placed her hand on his shoulder and held it firmly. "Calm down Halden, everything will be alright" The soft and tender voice spoke. It was a female mutant, who had the ability to calm the wildest of beasts and she was key to keeping the mutants inside the apartment complex calm. "Thanks Lex, i needed that..." Halden took a few steps forward and picked up a small bell. "ladies and gentle folk, dinner is served." He rung the bell once and everyone began to partake in their dinners.
