Character Basics:
Name: Erik Magnus Lensherr
Alias: Magneto
Age: Approx. 70
Sex: Male
Allegiance: THe Brotherhood of Mutants
Powers: Arguably one of the most powerful superhumans on the planet, Magneto is a mutant with the superhuman power of magnetokinesis. He can shape and manipulate magnetic fields that exist naturally or artificially. Magneto can thus lift, move, and manipulate objects (sometimes weighing many thousands of tons), and manipulate iron in people's blood if there is even a slightly greater amount than usual. This also means he can control metals and make them do whatever he pleases, to such an extent where he has previouly demolished a jail cell using only three iron spheres, and controlled the guns of an entire police force. It does cause him extreme effort to move incredibly large metallic objects (such as bridges.)
Magneto's suit is made of flexible metal bonded on the molecular level, providing protection against projectiles, energy weapons, and concussive force. His helmet, which is built out of the same metal as Charles Xaviers "Cerebro", allows him to keep telepathic attack from harming him and also shields his mind from "Cerebro".
Status: Marvel Movie Canon
Occupation: Freedom Fighter (Terrorist?)
Appearance:
Magneto is an old man and he appears as such at first. He has greying hair and sharp eyes. However, when in costume as Magneto, he wears a deep dark purple which is almost black, a purple helmet and a dark robe with a scarlet interior.
Height : 6'2"
Weight : 190 lbs
Eye Colour : Bluish-grey
Hair Colour : Silver
Build: Medium
Personality: Magneto is an EXTREMELY charismatic speaker. He is excellent at making speeches and twisting people's views on things. He also knows how to raise a rabble and provoke a response. He is extremely commited to his cause. He is also very passionate and can be extremely cold when he wants to be. He does what he does because he firmyl believes it is right and he is ruthless.
History: The young Erik Lensherr was sent with his family to a concentration camp in 1942. It was there that he first exhibited his powers, ripping open a metal fence as he was seperated from his parents. He would never see them again.
At the end of the war, with his family dead and a number forever on his skin as a mark of that hideous time, he left. What happened between this period and years later is unclear, however it is known he befriended Professor Charles Xavier. However they grew apart; magneto believed that humanity would always try to destroy mutantkind and had to be stopped.
When it looked as though the Mutant Registration Act would become law, he finally snapped. Assembling several like-minded mutants, he formed the Brotherhood of Mutants and built a device to cause mutation in ordinary humans beings. In a series of engagements he battled Xavier's X-Men, finally being defeated and kncoekd Unconscious atop the Statue of Liberty.
He was imprisoned in a plastic prison cell with seemingly no way out. He was visited by Charles Xavier, and though they were now enemies in principles, they still greatly respected one another. However, the shape-shifter Mystique, the only surviving member of his Brotherhood, injected one of his prison guards with a tiny dose of iron. It was enough. Magneto ripped the iron from his blood and used it to destroy his cell and escape, reuniting with Mystique.
He then joined forces with the X-Men to fight General William Stryker and his "Dark Cerebro." They attacked his base at Alkali Lake and in the end Magneto and Mystique were left to rescue the kidnapped Charles Xavier. Instead, they reserved Stryker's plans to cause Dark Cerebro to destroy all humans. Having recruited the X-Man Pyro, Magneto then left.
Though this plan too was foiled, he and his two companions are now very much on the loose, as he makes plans to forge an army and unleash a war the likes of which have never been seen....
Sample RP:
Erik Magnus Lensherr stood on the raised podium, gazing out across the assembled throng. Mutants all. Outcasts, driven out of the cities to live in a secluded community where they live in eternal fear. But no more. Erik looked over to where two of his followers stood; Mystique and Sabretooth. He nodded.
Then he turned to face the gathering. "MY BROTHERS!" he shouted in a voice which carried across the gathering. "WE STAND AT A TURNING POINT!" He looked around. "For years the Homo Sapiens have treated us as outcasts, as abberations.... but no more."
His cold eyes seemed to pierce the heart of all the assembled mutants. "We are at a crossroads between the past and the future and what we do now will alter this world forever!" He raised a single hand. "Mankind imprisoned me for my beliefs- for the beliefs that mutants should live FREE from persecution!" Cheers began and he spoke louder. "FREE from hatred! FREE from oppresion! And to do that..." he was now speaking over a mass of cheers. "WE MUST BE FREE FROM HOMO SAPIEN!"
The whole room burst into uproar, the mutants thumping their chests and roaring their approval. But Erik Lensherr was a master of crowd control, he held up one hand and the entire gathering fell silent at once. "I am going to rebuild our kind." he said. "I am going to reform a Brotherhood. A Brotherhood of Justice! A Brotherhood of Truth! A BROTHERHOOD OF MUTANTS! AND I ASK YOU- WHO IS WITH ME?"
As the crowd began again he continued, gaining momentum. "WHO WILL HELP ME CARVE OUR PLACE IN THIS WORLD? WHO WILL STAND AGAINST THE CRUELTY AND INJUSTICE OF HOMO SAPIEN? HOMO SUPERIOR!" The crowd were chanting now- they chanted his name. They did not chant Erik Magnus Lensherr however.
"MAGNETO! MAGNETO! MAGNETO! MAGNETO!"
And on the stage, Erik Magnus Lensherr, Magneto, raised both arms in triumph. The Master of Magnetism was truly free once more.
