((Sorry for the delay folks, this week was crazy, but my schedule is clearing up now so I'll have time for posts and such yay! Anyway, without further ado, here's Mags :) ))<br/><br/><strong>Code Name:</strong>Magneto<br/><br/><strong> Played By:</strong>Darth Dredd<br/><br/><strong>Real Name</strong>Max Eisenhardt (Also known as Eric Lensherr)<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>84 years old (Looks 32)<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Straight<br/><br/><strong>HEIGHT:</strong>6'<br/><br/><strong>WEIGHT:</strong>192<br/><br/><strong>AFFILIATION:</strong>Currently None (Formerly leader of The Brotherhood, leader/member of X-Men)<br/><br/><strong>Appearance(Costume): (http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/5/52086/1448764-mag.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Appearance(No costume): (http://www.justpushstart.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/michael-fassbender-as-magneto-the-brooding-anti-hero.jpg)<br/><br/>(http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp8fescXyQ1qgfmixo1_500.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Powers/Abilities:</strong><br/></strong></strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>(*) Magnetokinesis:</strong> Magneto has nearly complete control over all forms of magnetism, giving him the ability to manipulate various kinds of metals in any way he sees fit. In theory, his manipulation of magnetism could be used to create earthquakes, cause landslides, and even shift entire mountains, though he has yet to display such levels of power. He can stop bullets in midflight, rend and destroy metallic objects with but a thought, throw vehicles of any size and weight through the air, or even something a minor yet precise as stitching a wound. He has even demonstrated that this control extends to organic iron found in human blood, pulling it out of the body, or even (to a limited degree) influencing the flow of iron enriched blood. This is extremely limited, however, as the average, healthy human only has approximately 2.5 grams of iron in their bloodstream, and thus not enough to give Magneto the ability to create any major manipulations in the body.<br/><br/><strong>(*) Magnetic Force-Fields:</strong> Magneto is capable of producing an electromagnetic sphere around his body, which can be used to protect himself from various dangers. Guns, blades, fire, ice, just about anything can be stopped by this field, which can leave him nearly impervious to damage. He can even create the field around others, either to protect them from harm or to trap them. This field can be just as strong as the one that protects him, but he can only create one such field at a given time; if he were to create such a field around someone else, he would not be able to create another field to protect himself without dissipating the other field. The field has limitations, however, as too much hitting the shield at once can cause Magneto’s control over it to dwindle, and is far weaker to energy based assaults such as lasers and electricity. It also cannot stop psionic and telepathic based attacks.<br/><br/><strong>(*)Magnetic Flight:</strong> Magneto can become air born and achieve sustained flight by creating a repulsive force between himself and the planet. Doing this, he can flight at varying speeds up to 70 MPH, and without limitation on height. Though while he could, technically, flight passed the Earth’s atmosphere, he would need equipment capable of allowing him to breath in a vacuum.<br/><br/><strong>(*)Geomagnetic Link:</strong> Magneto has a strong connection with the Earth’s electromagnetic field, giving him a shared ‘sense’ with the planet itself. If the planet were to experience heavy damage at once (any kind of impact or explosion capable of dramatically altering the planet’s structure), no matter how far away, he would feel it.<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong>: Max has demonstrated the capacity for genius level intellect, learning complex subjects coming very easily to him. While far from a master, he has exhibited high level knowledge of genetics, particularly mutations, and has even displayed a keen knowledge of mechanical and automotive repair and construction. He is multilingual, capable of fluently speaking English, French, Polish, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, Ukrainian, German, and Yiddish. Max also has a vast knowledge of world history, politics, and human/mutant behaviors.<br/></div></div><br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Aside from the above mentioned resistances, Max’s body is still the equivalent of an adult male who engages in regular exercise, and is equally as mortal as a human. He can be stabbed, shot, suffocated or poisoned, and he would have no more resistance to it than a normal man.<br/></div></div><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/><br/>Max Eisenhardt was born in Nurnberg, Germany, and lived in a large household of kind family members that put family first before anything else. They lived rather happily, and Max did well in his classes, though seemed to especially excel at various sporting events. He slowly began to notice, however, that things were changing dramatically in his once quite home town, as rumors and whispers of a shift in power began to grow. Even so, Max found himself focused on other things.<br/><br/>One of these events was a javelin throw event, which Max won easily. However, he was accused of cheating, and forced to use a 'regulation' javelin, to prove he hadn't cheated. He once again won the competition, and yet was still declared a cheater, and was expelled from the school, and later beaten by some of his former classmates in retaliation. Things became worse over time, as the Nazi presence in Nurnberg grew, and Max's father, Jakob, made the difficult decision to move his family, which was Jewish, out of the city.<br/><br/>Max and his family ended up in Poland, where they spent the next few years, until the Nazi occupation in September, 1941. They attempted to flee to Warsaw, only to be captured, and placed in a concentration camp. Life was hard, but Max attempted to make the best of it for his family, becoming rather skilled at smuggling food and supplies for them and other prisoners. After they had enough supplies, they attempted to escape with another family, but were quickly thwarted. Faced with a firing squad, Max knew that he was going to die, but was at least happy to be with his family.<br/><br/>The officer gave the order, and the soldiers fired. Max watched in horror as bullets tore through his mother, father, uncle, and sister, their blood covering the thirteen year old boy. And after the carnage was over, to add more pain to Max's shattered heart, the soldier in front of him never fired, and never would. He had been spared, and now, he was alone. When he was set free from his bonds, he attempted to cradle his fallen mother, but was denied even that, as he was simply washed up, and thrown onto a train to Vernichtungslager Extermination Camp in Auschwitz, Poland. There, Max was forced to divide his time between being a Sonderkommando (a group of Jewish men forced to work the gas chambers, ovens, and fire pits used to exterminate prisoners), and other unspeakable 'jobs'.<br/><br/>Having spent some of his childhood in the Auschwitz death camp, Max had learned to hate humans from a very early age. Persecuted against for being different than what was wanted, watching his friends, family, and loved ones die around him because of intolerance. Even after the war and Max was freed, he saw it all beginning all over again with the rise of homo superiors. He refused to see this happen again, and decided to fight back against mutant oppressors, and take the planet as their rightful place at top of the food chain.<br/><br/>Max would become Magneto, and began to fight back against the humans, often initiating terrorist attacks against government facilities. Though he had a strong friendship with Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men, he often found himself butting heads with Xavier's team, neither willing to relent on their goals. Magneto would form the Brotherhood of Mutants, and continued his relentless campaign to defeat the humans and make them the oppressed. He has even found a way to extend his life, having the body of a man in his prime though he nears his mid 80's. Though his children, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, at one time followed his cause, they too ended up clashing with their father, eventually siding with the heroes that Magneto often battled.<br/><br/>Magneto had a long, storied career, a few times giving up on his quest and tried to join the ranks of the heroes but never quite fitting in. He almost always reverted back to his terrorist ways, even if deep down he felt that what he was doing was right and for the good of his people. Recently, however, Magneto has become lost. Presumed dead after an intense battle with the X-Men, Magneto decided to lay low, recover, and re-evaluate his current situation. Realizing that he did not want to die alone in such a cruel, harsh world, Magneto has decided to return to America, not as it's enemy, for the moment. Instead, he only wished to find his children, speak with them; if not to persuade them of what he believed, then at the very least to explain his actions and make sure that they knew that they were still in his heart even after they left his side.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Max is a bold, confident man that has been beaten down into the ground by life on many occasions, but refuses to stay down. Once an innocent youth with a puppy crush who just wanted to live a normal life, has turned into a man who has forced himself to harden against the world, or else be suffocated by it. Yet even for all of this, he is still a man of strong convictions and compassion, a man that will go out of his way to ensure others don't experience the hellish life he was forced to endure.<br/><br/>He does not trust humans in general, though he has known some that he can at least make friendly with. Max went through a long period of hating all humans, lumping them all together into one, hate mongering group. Recent events have forced him to reconsider his stance on humanity, though he still feels that Mutant survival relies on them taking their place one day as the superior species. But Max always makes it clear his feelings about a person; if he trusts you, he shows it, if he distrusts you, he makes sure you know it.<br/><br/>Highly educated, very sophisticated, Max sometimes comes across as 'pompous' to some, though it is not his intention. He has an air of royalty, of someone that subconsciously commands respect from those in a room.<br/><br/>((Be sure to let me know if any changes are needed))
