Polymorphic Bio-Metallic Cells: Unlike normal shape shifters, Aries can completely reshape, structure, size, or alter his body from the inside out down to the very last molecule based on imagination or understanding. Every cell in his body is made up of an odd organic metal that is produced at a hyper-mitosistic to seemingly instantaneous rate of replication, as well as an equal speed of cellular degeneration or reversal. This allows Aries to create things such as knives, blades, guns, bullets, constructs, armor, and even machine-like functions so long as he understands the mechanics of it such as a gun-limb...or his trademark favorite bladed angel wings, all by will of thought and desire. The bio-metal his body produces is seemingly weightless when it is attached to his body, the moment any produced metal becomes disconnected it becomes as heavy as the metal it was intended to be.

His cells can also replicate any other type of metal that Aries has tasted with his tongue (silver, gold, steel, iron, etc.). As odd as it may seem, his taste receptors in the tongue can analyze the metal and copy it's molecular formation and density but modify it to his bio-metallic cells, sort of a cellular memory library of metals....and it started with a spoon while eating cereal. The metallic fibers in his muscular system also give him a sort of super strength and endurance, his only tested limit was two metric tons (2400lbs.). When manipulating his body to use gun limbs, which he's very known for, he can use his super strength endowed muscle fibers to fire off stored projectiles vastly more powerful and faster than the original gun he is mocking.

Though he cannot emulate energy, ballistics, or explosives, he can however feed the actual ammunition such as bullets, rockets, and grenades through his body and modify himself to mock the ammunition's original weapon. This also allows himself to patch up, fix, or close open wounds similar to a mutant healing factor but its more of a manual fix than an automatic or over time response. This means if he is critically injured and rendered unconscious, he would be very vulnerable to bleeding to death.

-Subzero Temperatures: These extreme cold or even instant freezing temperatures slow down/stop his hyper-mitosis and prevent him from being able to shape shift. His body reacts like a person with sickle-cell, causing him extreme pain and suffering.

-Hallucinogenics: Either by chemical or psychic means, under these conditions he is unable to control his transformations which can be HAZARDOUS for anyone around him that cannot properly defend themselves. His power revolves around perception and desire, and if he cannot give clear thoughts to his cells they could very well shift into what he "thinks" he sees himself as, or wildly shift and lash metallic formations about his surroundings like a nightmarish blender or guns in every direction firing wildly.

-Sleep: Like any other person it is important to keep rested, in his case to make sure to avoid delirium from sleep deprivation (See Hallucinogenics above.)

-His Brain: Though he can augment and change his bones and organs without compromising himself, he cannot make any changes to his brain without killing himself. Though he can shield it, augmenting it is not a good idea and he knows it.

• weapons [/color] | Besides being the owner of a gun shop, if his mind understands the mechanics of the weapon he can use his mutant shifting power to mock it or improve it so he doesn't carry weapons. He does however carry a utility belt full of special ammunition such as grenades, mini-rockets, and other carry able types for heavy artillery weapon usage.

• Playby [/color] | Wentworth Miller
• Overall Appearance[/color] | By range of default Aries is a simple jeans and hoodie kind of guy, but actually he never wears any clothes so that he can freely shape shift. In a very broad aspect he can look like anyone he wants to, dress however he wants to dress, and augment his body to form his limbs into blades, guns, or other shapes and structures. But his trademark transformation for combat is recognized by a metallic gothic style holy knight armor & chain mail paired with a set of giant bladed angel wings. His face is partially covered in a holy cross helmet/mask matching his armor but revealing hallow black eyes, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a holy cross designed hood to cover the helmet. Aries believes this appearance strikes a sense of judgement from God into his enemies.

• Dislikes [/color] |

[/b].

' Repeat offenders - Even for small time criminals, Aries hates it when the law releases criminals back on the street even knowing that they'll never change. For this reason he makes it a very strong goal to kick the extra crap out of criminals to scar his image into their minds so that they don't turn into repeat offenders.

' Golf - Plain and simply hates everything about it, how tedious it is, lack of contact, the concept as a whole makes him want to claw his eyes out.

' Working with Heroes - Heavy Metal and most super heroes don't see eye to eye on criminal resolution. He has a strong belief in killing those who pose a threat to the world, while most heroes stick to the "let the law decide" routine. He hates it, he cannot stand when someone tries to keep him from finishing off criminals...so he only works with Anti-heroes if need be.

' The Brotherhood - In his eyes they are reckless and put the innocent in danger. Though he believes they have a good cause being equality for all mutants, they are more destructive than their intent proves to be just.

' The X-Men - He likes what they stand for, but he hates their resolve for the most dangerous beings they encounter. He believes that the dangerous ones should be killed and the X-Men would rather have them locked up where they could escape and do it all again.

' Eating with metallic utensils - When eating with metal spoons or forks, his tongue constantly scans the metal thats put into his mouth. To Aries this sensation is very distracting and annoying because of the automatic impulses. He once described it as the feel of electric worms in his mouth and would much rather eat with chop sticks or plastic wear.

• Flaws [/color] |

• Habits [/color] |

• fears [/color] | Tarantulas and hallucinogenic drugs
• Goals/ dreams[/color] | To franchise his gun and knife line all over the U.S, To become partners with The Punisher, and to collaborate all of his adventures fighting crime as Heavy Metal and make a comic book about his alter ego.
• Overall Personality[/color] | Aries is highly intelligent and analytical to boot. Regardless of his high intelligence he has always been a sort of wild card with an issue toward authority in school which carried on into his adult years. He loves both guns and blades on an equal level. He is very mouthy and sarcastic, prone to outbursts of anger as well easily frustrated. Most of the only time he is quiet is when something is wrong, he's usually not one to tell others whats on his mind right away.

He will most often take his anger out on others even when they have nothing to do with what hes mad about, apologies are rare without force. He has a vast knowledge of guns, which is why he runs his own gun shop. Aries has an oral fixation which is the reason why he always has a toothpick or wheat grass between his teeth, gum is also his best friend when available. He loves heavy metal music, in fact he claims that blaring music in his ears helps him focus on his work. Aries is very flashy and a bit of a show-off in combat, but he is very effective and accurate due to a lot of trial and error in his early years fighting crime.

Children seem to be the only thing that doesn't piss him off, even if they are bratty and annoying, all children seem to love him. To him, fighting crime is a very delicate issue because of the standard he holds in Heavy Metal's image. His alter ego is very ruthless and would much rather stay out of it unless he knows someone could get hurt, or there is a hard time villain on the scene. If at all possible he would much rather let authorities handle the small time deals and stick to dealing punishment to the real dangers of the world...except for if theres children involved, then the gloves are off.

One thing that is very known about Heavy Metal, is that he is NOT above killing, in fact he deems death a very worthy punishment for most hard time villains and criminals. This as a whole strikes a whole new level of fear in his enemies, because they know that if Heavy Metal decides the crime is worth his attention...90% of the time someone is going to die. Very rash yet effective.

• Overall history[/color] | Aries was born in Bronx, New York, with his recovering alcoholic mother, his father who ran a small arms business, and his younger brother Benjamin. For the most part he was just a normal kid, someone who always liked to play army men or cops and robbers...anything that allowed him to have a gun, and watch his younger brother play with his legos on the front porch. As far as he knew, nobody in his family was a mutant and his family never really expressed their opinion on mutants either. But of course his life changed forever, as it did with most mutants, when his mutant powers kicked in at the early age of eight years old.

It happened one morning at breakfast while he was eating cereal, when he put that steel spoon in his mouth his tongue wildly scanned and copied the metallic compound into his dna. But it was the feeling that spooked him, it felt like he had touched his tongue to a battery with a mouth full of live worms. Of course without thinking he spit the spoon and the cereal onto the floor which grabbed his family's attention, but when he reached down to pick the spoon up the desire to have the spoon back in his hands triggered a reaction with his mutant power. His hand just GREW a spoon out of his palm, his mother dropped the plate of bacon onto the kitchen floor and stared at Aries' hand from a distance.

He expected things to go bad, but his family after a moment of shock thought it was amazing, mom however didn't share her opinion and went quiet the next couple of days. It actually took a few days to put two and two together to figure out the triggers, responses, and his tongue's reaction to the metal. Soon it became a house project between Aries, his father, and Benjamin to test Aries' parameters with what he could create or how detailed he could make things. When they had a stronger grasp on what his power could do his father would give him gun parts to study, show him how the parts worked and get him to copy the parts to help expand their business.

Things were going well over the course of the next five years, until Aries discovered that not only can he emulate metallic shapes, but he could also morph himself like a shape shifter in general. He and his brother went nuts trying to get perfect matches on movie stars, it was difficult at first but it was like discovering new muscles...it just became easier the more he did it. Of course the fun died when his mom walked into their room to see George Clooney shape shifting into her son. She did NOT find that new power discovery entertaining, in fact, she took up drinking again and things began going south in the house.

Every night his mom would drink, bed time came earlier and earlier each time so they wouldn't have to be around when his mom started acting belligerent, and of course she started sharing how she really felt about mutants and her son being one. To comfort himself at night when he could hear his parents fighting he would grow a large pair of angel wings out of his back and cover his body, pretending that the arch-angel Micheal was protecting him. One night after a really bad fight she kicked their dad out to sleep in the living room and passed out drunk with a lit cigarette in her hand. Needless to say it started a fire that took her life while she was sleeping, and the blaze would have taken the rest of the family too if it weren't for their father carrying them outside to safety.

Aries' father suffered serious burns trying to go back for his wife, the fire department rescued the father shortly after. While his father was in the hospital Aries and Benjamin lived out of the gun shop, since Aries knew the business he ran things to keep the cash flow going, posing as his father and dropping out of school to make the sacrifice. The money from his mother's life insurance went to his father's medical bills and treatments so for a long while things were pretty rough. When his father was well enough to start working again, Aries decided to get a G.E.D and take collage courses for mechanical engineering. He had a lot of catching up since he missed out on half of his high school years.

When he was nineteen, his life took a turn that changed his personality forever, it was the death of his younger brother Benjamin. Aries wasn't there when it all went down, but Ben had gotten into it with a group of anti-mutant extremists. For sticking up for mutants, his brother being one, they took Ben to a public pool after hours and drowned him for being a "mutant lover". Ever since the police called the case a homicide Aries had become very dark and grim. But he found a sense of purpose when making a run to the bank to make a deposit for his father. The was a bank heist in progress, the first thing they did was waste an old lady trying to shoot the security guard.

That's when he saw him, The Punisher, like the professional he was laying waste to each of the gunmen...and gone before the cops arrived after beating some information out of one of the goons. It was as if The Punisher was setting the standards for justice, and it was then that Aries knew what he had to do. He spent a few days thinking up a persona, eventually settling upon the name Heavy Metal. All he needed was an outfit to match his persona, and just then his bible fell off the table onto the floor, the book resting open on a section about the arch-angel Micheal. This was it, his persona would be and angelic protector with a warrior's sense of vengeance...like The Punisher.

He came up with nearly a hundred renditions of his persona's appearance before he finally settled upon a shifting theme. Bladed angel wings, a Gothic style holy knight armor set, and a love for guns...tons of them. At this point he had been so enveloped in his new persona that all he could think about was avenging his brother's death. It took a few weeks to get the right information, tracking each one of them down. When he had all the targets mapped Aries had lead them all to an abandoned warehouse and killed each one of them. The police at the crime scene found each one of the anti-mutant extremists impaled into the wall in a row, and covered with gunshot wounds. It was a brutal massacre.

As much as killing these guys in cold blood should have bothered him...it didn't, not in the slightest. In fact, he felt as if he had regained a little bit of himself back, but he felt that it couldn't stop there, there were so many people exacting evils in the world, and his city needed a guardian angel...and his name was Heavy Metal. Being that his father was all he had left, Aries made sure to stop in and help him manage the gun shop, eventually his father passed the ownership onto Aries and retired, figuring that Aries should be the owner since he was the one that kept it above water by using his mutant powers to make guns, knives, and ammo. In a sense Aries WAS the shop so it was only right.

Aries hired helping hands to manage the shop while he was out, this way he wouldn't be so time restricted as Heavy Metal, he would just need to drop in, run inventory, and make parts for guns when needed. It wasn't long before Heavy Metal started to become more popular, a sort of city local fan favorite. But because of his rash methods the people nick named him The Harbinger, but as large of a fan base Heavy Metal had, he also had an equally large amount of people that thought of him as a dangerous killing machine. But Aries didn't mind, he liked the media attention and watching himself on Youtube taking down hardcore villains. Aaah, the life of an Anti-hero.
