Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual
Eye color: Green

Ethnicity: American, specifically, from Detroit, Michigan
Body Type: slightly athletic build, pretty in shape. Has a youthful and handsome face with a winning smile that makes it easy to open up to him and trust him. He also has very strong legs, good for running and getting close to his opponents.
Personality: Warm and outgoing, Scott finds it easy to make friends. He is brave, strong, kind, and caring, traits that make others gravitate to him and put their hopes in him. Activating Valor boosts these traits of his personality, making him courageous, fiercely determined, and slightly reckless, sometimes. He can sometimes be a bit oblivious to others, but his tenacious good-spirit means that he never loses hope or confidence in himself. Not afraid to think outside the box, he can achieve through brains what he can't by brawn.
Power: Scott has the power of metallization, the ability to coat his right arm in black and gold metal armor. This gives him superhuman strength in that arm and makes breaking almost anything in front of him a breeze. His special technique, the Fist of Valor, puts all of his strength into one punch, causing great destruction to whatever it hits. He can use this technique only three times a day, and if he tries to use it a fourth time, pain shoots through his arm and he can't form Valor, the name for his special arm. His arm can also chip and shatter if it takes enough external damage, leaving him vulnerable to danger. Scott theorizes that Valor can spread to the rest of his body, and is attempting to do that by mastering his power.
History: Scott had a pretty normal childhood growing up in a working class neighborhood of Detroit. When he was fifteen, gang members in a car were doing a drive-by on a rival gang, and innocents could have been caught in the crossfire. A little child was at risk of being killed, and Scott shielded her with his body. Using his arm to try and ward off the bullets, he was surprised when Valor activated and shielded him from the bullets. His heroism had awakened his power, and Scott knew that this meant he had a responsibility to hone his gift and become a hero. After telling his parents about it, they agreed to look into schools specializing in people like him.
It was difficult to track down a real-life Xavier Institute for the Gifted, but they found one in France called the Silhouette Academy. After boarding the flight, he landed there and made his way there. Scott isn't really sure how he'll be able to get along with other superhumans, and he's not sure how others will react to his power. Still, he is an eternal optimist, and hopes for nothing but good things from here on out.
Extras: Scott loves pizza, and could eat it all the time. He also has a weakness for beautiful women, like most men. His outgoing nature means that he is popular with women, but he has been unable to have a serious relationship due to his power, which frightens others. He is hoping that, in a place with others like him, he might find real love and acceptance.
