Personality: "People tell me that I'm nice, chivalrous, and charismatic."
Genuinely good at heart, Zachary attempts to befriend anyone and everyone he can if possible. He loves nothing more than to enjoy time with his friends or even complete strangers if they'll have him, and he never considers it a burden to help people out with near about anything. The last thing he wants is to upset or anger someone, and if he manages to do so, he'll apologize enough to annoy them and he does so showing his true sorrow for causing someone trouble. He's a bit on the chivalrous side, his mother telling him to treat woman with great warmth, respect and delicateness, which he then took too serious and comes off as a bit flirtatious due to it. Oddly enough, it isn't his intent to compliment a woman for any other reason than to make her day that much more better, and in actuality, he hasn't ever dated because once that subject is out in the open, he tends to shy up. Though he is by no means a fan of it, Zach won't hesitate to use violence to protect someone else.
History: "My past isn't something special, I assure you."
Up until the week after his sixteenth birthday, Zachary lived quite a dull life; he went to school, he played and talked with friends, and he used to practice Tae-Kwon-Do at a local dojo. He had always been like he was - kind, caring and all-around just the kind of person you see in stories and nothing else. He couldn't tell you if he had any enemies because the mere thought of upsetting someone enough to call them that was beyond him. But nine days after his birthday, both his mother and father had wound up in a car-accident and when Zachary arrived home to no parents, he was soon told that it was fatal. Because of this, he was briefly made to live with his grandparents. They were nice and all, but Zach moved out as soon as he could and rented an apartment, taking up two jobs. Quite a peaceful life until later, the Irregularity Explosion happened where he found a suit merged with his bones. It gave him strength, speed, power... and he began to use it like anybody should - to save people! And he did so as a priority, which cost him a job, but he soon found another. And so, his life as a superhero had begun....
Personality: "I might be a bit cocky..."
When the suit comes on and the shit hits the fan, Zachary might acts a bit more confident. He doesn't change too drastically and is easily considered a site for sore eyes when evil has been the only thing you've seen the whole day. He is known to laugh, joke, and tease opponents on occasion.
Abilities: "I have everything I could ever need to save someone!"
Guardian possesses powered armor that gives him superhuman strength and durability, flight, and an array of weapons. Guardian's standard offensive ranged weapons are the repulsors in the palm of each gauntlet, just as Iron Man's. Other weapons include: the uni-beam projector in its chest; pulse bolts (that pick up on kinetic energy along the way; so the farther they travel, the harder they hit); an electromagnetic pulse generator; and a defensive energy shield that can be extended up to 360 degrees. Other capabilities include: generating ultra-freon (i.e., a freeze-beam); creating and manipulating magnetic fields; emitting sonic blasts; and projecting 3-dimensional holograms (to create decoys). The suit is stored within his bones in the same way that it is with Iron Man, and thusly he is able to call upon the suit whenever he wishes and this actually grants him the ability to 'wear whatever he wants' because on a thought and command, he can cause the suit to take whatever appearance he wishes.
Abilities Elaborated: "If one thing doesn't work, I have a few others."
Direct Cybernetic Interface: The Extremis virus has fused Zach's armor to his body. He is able to manifest and control the armor through direct brain impulses and even utilize some of its powers when unsurfaced. He has direct, cyberpathic control over the communication devices, scanning equipment, and recording devices located in his helmet.
Wireless Communication: He is also able to remotely connect to external communications systems such as satellites, cellular phones, and computers throughout the world. Zach is also capable of projecting his voice through transmitting sound systems such as cellular phones via electric transmissions from his central nervous system.
Superhuman Reflexes: The Extremis virus grants him enhanced speed reactions and movements.
Regenerative Systems: Zach is capable has the ability to biologically heal himself and repair the armor.
Limited Shapeshifting: His armor is made up of nano-machines that can be commanded to turn into any type of structure upon Stark's skin. Examples include clothes, other armors, additional weapons over his armor like a boxing glove or a modified laser cannon by having the nano-machines change their properties into whatever Zach wants them to. They can also dissociate to transform into the Guardian armor whenever he wishes.
Support Powers
Superhuman Strength: He is capable of lifting up to 100 tons when wearing his armor and can achieve higher levels of strength when powered by a sufficiently more powerful source.
Superhuman Speed: Even when not traveling for extended distances, the armor enables the wearer to move and react at very high speeds.
Flight: The armor can typically reach speeds in excess of Mach 10, though it has been seen that he can reach orbital escape velocities (about 5 miles per second) up to speeds that would allow him to outrun a black hole. Use of the jet boots provide enough power to lift a load of about 500 tons.
Power Cells: The armor is powered by a combination of solar converters, electrical batteries and an on-board generator that uses beta particle absorption as a fuel source. Not to mention the arc reactor that also powers the suit.
Energy Conversion Power Recharge: The armor is also able to absorb and convert nearby or far away energy sources, such as heat, solar, electrical, magnetic, geo-thermal or kinetic energy or energy from the planet itself into electricity, or even drain energy directly into the batteries for recharge.
Self-Contained Life-Support System & Environmental Protection: The armor can be completely sealed for operations in vacuum or underwater, providing its own life support, and is shielded against radiation, biological, chemical, corrosive, kinetic, and electrical attacks as well.
Magnetism: The armor can generate magnetic fields to pull or push metal objects at will.
Onboard Computer: The armor has an internal onboard computer operating system that aids Zach in providing strategies, background information on opponents, surroundings, the status of the suit, and prevents a lock on from targeting systems.
Sensor Array: Known sensors include radar/lidar, night vision, and physiological/medical scanners that allow Zach to take and monitor the vitals of other people, including heart and brain scans. These scans also provide him with real-time personal physiological data. They are also capable of an all-environmental scan for atmospheric content or life forms--including astral energy projections.
Override: When required, armor systems including strength amplification, durability amplification, and repulsor intensity can be greatly increased, by bypassing safety circuits and limiters. However, there is a chance that this can result in a complete system failure of the armor. An example of this mode is when Tony Stark, in his universe, easily lifted a 16,000 ton Nuclear Reactor, and flew into the sky and threw it into the sea. The range of the Override can be controlled as only reaching his very limit and staying at it for a long time will cause a system failure. This range goes from a safe 800% to 3200%, up to a very dangerous 5000%.
Defensive Powers
Crystallized Iron Armor: The armor has evolved from a bulky iron suit to a highly complex matrix of molecularly-aligned fully crystallized ultra high carbon iron/steel hybrid alloy enhanced by magnetic fields over layers of other ultra hyper alloys like titanium alloy and or tungsten/vanadium alloys reinforced with carbon nanotubes creating a shell that is pliable, yet capable of amazingly high resilience and protection.
Enhanced Durability: His armor is very durable, capable of withstanding tremendous amounts of punishment. It can withstand high caliber bullets with ease. He can also withstand rockets, missiles, torpedoes, high powered lasers, and such, taking little to no damage. Future armors were fully resistant against electricity, fire, heavy impacts, energy blasts, take zero Kelvin and up to the Suns temperatures, even some of Thor's attacks. The suit can withstand almost unlimited kinetic and thermal impact, as well as most forms of radiation thanks to its refractory coating. The armor can survive anything short of a nuclear explosion at ground zero. The suit automatically protects its wearer when he enters an intrinsically hostile environment, such as outer space or deep sea. The armor even has specialized circuitry that guards against telepathic attacks. Before the Irregularity Explosion occurred, Tony was very confident in his suit's defensive abilities, when he was caught in a nuclear explosion, he was only thinking about women and completely forgot about what was happening around him.
Energy Shield: Energy shielding that can protect the user from harm. It is also capable of reflecting attacks and staying mobile. At 2% power, the shield is strong enough to withstand a nuclear explosion.
Offensive Powers
Repulsor Rays: The armor's primary energy weapon. A particle beam weapon, standard equipment in the palm gauntlets; can repel physical and energy-based attacks, traveling as a single stream or as a wide-field dispersal. It's damage potential is extremely lethal, from being able to go through 2 inches of steel like paper to blasting a hole through a mountain. They can be powered up to make a larger beam or a Full Form Repulsor Ray, which does 360 degrees of attacks. The power of the Repulsor Beams can range from the basic ones such as the one from the Mark 3, which fires 2 gigawatt beams, to the beams on a much further model of the suit such as the Model 27 which fires beams in the high petawatt region, but those require a little assistance from outside.
Unibeam: A powerful searchlight, capable of projecting beams in virtually every light spectrum. Also used as a powerful weapon that can destroy anything in its path. It fires a boosted form of the Monobeam with some Arc Reactor energy backing it up.
Lasers: Standard lasers that can be used as weapons or for welding.
Pulse Bolts: Extremely powerful plasma discharges that propagate in strength over distance, but implode if they get overloaded.
Energy Blade: Based on the same design Tony Stark used to build Captain America's energy shield, this laser sword, emitted from his left arm, could also be flattened into a shield on his hands, or spread over the entire armor to encase the armor in a protective covering.
Pulse Barrage: Pulse Barrage is one of Iron Man's standard long range attack. Because of its extremely low energy consumption, Pulse Barrage can be a very effective attack. an upgraded Red Pulse Barrage has the ability to penetrate through foes hitting others behind them, and the ability to ricochet off walls hitting more targets.
Smart Missiles: The Smart Missile is one that can target the weak points of a structure, object, or foe to inflict maximum damage with a minimal payload.
Tri-beam: This unique version of the Unibeam runs on direct power from the Arc Reactor, draining it's energy rapidly if not fully charged. It has considerable knockback.
Multi-beam: As the name implies, the Multi-beam can fire multiple energies at the same time. Generally used with the energy that Guardian has absorbed.
Pentabeam: The Pentabeam has microwave lensing projector that allows for directed beams of ultra-high multi mega-joule electrons, protons, acoustic energy, and neutrons.
Omnibeam: Rather than only firing beam type attacks, the Omnibeam can generate heats at 25,232 degrees Fahrenheit, extremely powerful lights causing irreversible blindness in the enemy, and emit ultrasonic attacks capable of stunning even superhumanly durable foes and even causing disintegration. The other way the Omnibeam is fired is by absorbing or draining any energy in Iron Man's vicinity, drawing it into his chest reactor and converting it into billions of petawatts and firing it.
Hyper-velocity Impact: The program Hyper-velocity allows Zachary to think and move at a much faster time frame than everyone else, allowing for quicker attacks. Also, it could create an electrical bubble if Zach is going fast enough.
Plasma Discharge: A plasma discharge is given off when the suit comes into contact with Vibranium.
Skills: "I'm an okay fighter."
Zachary knows Tae-Kwon-Do, which makes him better than a thug when not in suit, especially when combined with his armor's buffs.
Also, since he got the armor, he's shown outstanding understanding in the same fields that Stark was proficient at, and is even able to understand how the suit works.
Other: Zachary will NOT hit a woman under any circumstance and Zach LOVES metal and rock music.
