ANTHONY EDWARD STARK
. we all started somewhere
Birth name: Anthony Edward Stark
Alias: Tony, Iron Man
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Birthday: April 4th
. only skin deep
Celebrity claim: Robert Downey Jr.
Appearance: Decently muscular build, brown hair, brown eyes. Not to mention the small, flourescent blue arc reactor in the middle of his chest, keeping metal shrapnel from entering his heart and killing him, and also being part of his suit's power source. But, you know, water under the bridge.
. on the inside that counts
Personality: Tony is rather egotistical. However, with an extremely powerful intellect (being arguably one of the most intelligent people on earth) and piles of money, he can more often than not back up what he claims. He's world-famous for his knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, computers, and (most importantly) engineering. It was using this knowledge that he was able to create the Iron Man suit, as well as multiple others.
Outside of his intellect, Tony is a socialite, being laughably sarcastic at times, with a very straight face. He is great in front of crowds, but one-on-one conversations seem to be his least-best skill. He's also something of a playboy, flirting with women quite often and being moderately familiar with one-night stands.
Despite this, he feels a big responsibility for a lot of problems in the world based on his involvement with government-contracted weapon manufacturing. He thinks that saving people from criminals and evil people will balance out his old way of life. While he used to be about money and being the best, now he takes morals and ethics into account.
Everything that makes your character who they are!
Family: Father- Howard Stark (Deceased); Mother- Maria Stark (Deceased)
. some of us are, different
FOR MUTANTS, Leave blank if you are human.
Iron Man isn't technically a mutant, but I think it applies here.
Power(s): Pictured above, Tony's Mark IV Iron Man armor is the best so far. It has great reflexes and is capable of great hand-to-hand combat. It is light and fast, as well. Using repulsor technology, Tony has the ability to shoot blasts out of his palms which are quite strong; they can send a grown man flying several yards. Additionally, he has the ability to fly in this suit. Technologically, within the helmet is a HUD which shows him several things, like energy levels, damage percentages, and can send and receive cell phone calls. It is occupied as well by an artificial intelligence called JARVIS, which helps him when needed.
Tony has a number of other suits as well, including the War Machine and Hulk Buster suits. The former is strong in terms of firepower, but not for defense or prolonged flying; the latter is great for raw defense and physical strength but not for firepower or flying.
Weakness(s): All in all, the Mark IV armor is not intended for prolonged combat, nor for heavy damage. Tony can't use it for too long, else power levels drop quite a bit. Of course, were he to run out of energy, the arc reactor in his chest would fail and his heart would be susceptible to shrapnel. Also, he can't take it off himself, only with the help of a mechanical contraption in the Stark Industries HQ, his home, a few scattered places across the world, and a one-of-a-kind truck he developed for the occasion. When traveling to stay in a place for a while, the truck goes with.
Cause: Being captured by a terrorist organization pushed him to build the first version of the suit in order to escape. He's refined it a few times since both out of necessity and curiosity
. other
Allegiance: S.H.I.E.L.D. ; The X-Men
Anything else: Tony has alcoholic tendencies which may be used more through RP sometime. Also, I'm basically going to use the two movies as a base for history and whatnot.
