Name: Bullet Lion
Civilian name:Keith Jathens
Age:17
Occupation:Thief
Alliance: Just himself at the moment
Appearance:
General Appearance: Keith has a slender build. His hair is naturally flat and has a plain almost bowl cut to it. His hint of bangs are separated by a part in the middle and overall his hair is noticeable brown color. Hidden under his clothes is the physique of a fighter which he had sculpted over many years of hard training. The only noticeable markings on his slightly tanned skin would be faded lines on his right arm. For some reason, he tends to wear a glove only on his right arm. He rarely takes it off. His measurement in feet and inches is a good 5'10 and his weight is surprisingly 158 lbs.
Secondary Appearance: Upon using his mutant powers there are several noticeable changes to Keith's appearance. The most noticeable one would have to be the lion pawed gauntlet on his right arm. This is somewhat a mechanical copy of a feline animals paw, with the arm dawning a yellowish gold color and the fingers becoming a red shade of orange. Another change would have to be his hair. His normal flat brown hair changes to a messy postured up bundle of dark red hair. His eyes also change color, dawning golden bright eyes from their normal light brown color.
Personality: Keith is in all matter of the word, a simple individual. However, he is also complex deep inside. He tends to act differently on the outside than he feels on the inside. Though on the outside he is expressing himself in full stride, but at some points he may be going over bored because he feels he has to compensate for the feelings he keeps inside.
Usually he acts just like an animal. He lives without any rules to go by and walks around the world acting as if everything on it is his. He seems to be a bully to people who think they're big and picks fights with the toughest looking people he can find, just to prove that he's stronger. If they end up losing the fight and Keith deems them unworthy, then he wont respect them, but instead disrespects them in gruesome manners. Though he isn't cruel enough to kill someone without reason, he has been known on occasion to cause a person over needed pain to calm his own nerves. In an essence Keith is a thief. He really doesn't need more than a couple bucks, so he says, but he seems to keep robbing or attempting to rob banks and high class malls. His main goal is to get a rise out of the cops so he can have a little bit of fun and his second is to fulfill his robin hood role. It seems Keith is very lax about allot of things and actually a cool person to those who don't act like they're big in bag. He even sometimes helps people when he's not causing trouble. As it is true that not much angers him, people who get in the way of his main goals or his fun seem to see him angry.
When it comes to the thoughts normal people have about things, Keith grew up thinking that life should be easier then what people make of it, especially since he has powers. Because of these thoughts, he shunned the idea of living a normal life and only wants to quench his thirst of adrenaline. When it comes to money, he'll do anything for money. It doesn't matter how hard or medial the task is. As long as it's not a sexual favor, he usually accepts. He rarely shows actual heart felt care for people, keeping those emotion deep inside of himself, so because of this he gets called a jerk. He doesn't really care what people think of him. Their negative thoughts only make him act more like a beast. It gets so bad sometimes that he feels he has to destroy everything. In his mind, he agrees with what the masses say. He might be a lost cause, but he's going to have a blast being one.
He's pretty cocky and over confident, but one thing he can't do is talk to women. It's almost like his body freezes when he talks to the, so, as a rule, he tends to stay away from them so that he doesn't have to not look cool. His favorite color is red and favorite food is anything he sees. He's not really too picky with food. To some it all up, he comes off as a sociopath in some aspects, but he really isn't one. . . maybe.
Mutant Classification: Beta: Though no apparent changes can be seen with just a glance, if you look closely you'll be able to see the thinned lines on his right arm that were caused from a time in the past, where he tried to absorb energy over his normal amount. Also, you may realize that Keith wears a glove constantly on his right arm. The glove hides a black hole in his hand. Seemingly bottomless. Although hollow and empty, the hole doesn't seem to be a black hole, possessing no suction effects.
Powers and Abilities:Keith has the power of alteration. By destroying an object and absorbing the energy around him, he dawns an altered form that he uses to fight. Little is known about the extent of alteration, but it seems he can only add amour to his right hand and create the energy pockets that line up on his back. In all, he has 3 that set the bar for how many burst of energy he can use.
Strengths and abilities:
Lion Gauntlet: The Lion Gauntlet, as Keith calls it, is created from the matter and the energy around Keith and forms it into a set of both a fine piece of protective and destructive power. The new arm gives him immense strength that allows him to take heavy impacts, such as explosions, cars, and rocks, as well as other things. it's basically a build that turns his arm into a Cannonball. It get's stronger depending on how much Keith destroys when he alters. By punching the ground he can lunge meters into the sky and by landing fist first, Keith can create an uplifting shockwave. Though small in diameter, whoever is around him will feel a small quake. Just don't stand under him when he does it and it shouldn't be lethal.
Bullets(The name he gives to the energy pockets on his back.)
Bullet one- The bottom pocket on his back. It gives him a boost that sends him forwards by educing the rocket effect, in which it dissolves and pushes him in the direction he is facing. He can steer it back lunging his fist in the direction he wants to go. The maximum range on it is 5 city blocks. The further he travels the weaker the effect on impact.
Bullet two- The second largest and also the middle socket on his back. It does the same thing as bullet one, but allows him to travel a whole mile instead of a half. Due to test by those who have experimented on him, he has the power of a bomb of sorts. Though it doesn't create a fire the quake on impact can destroy one city block. Unlike the first bullet, it keeps the same effect until the very end of the range.
Bullet three- The top and largest socket on his back. It allows him to travel three miles. On the completion of the first mile he gets a boost in speed making him break the sound barrier. Thus, the further he travels the stronger the impact. Having never traveled the full distance, little is known about its full power, though it is expected he can take out a small radius of a city, leveling the buildings around him.
Minor ability: Keiths body has allot of sustain and can take a beating. However, he does tend to break his bones every now and then and when he does he doesn't seem to have the nerves to realize it. It can be detrimental to his health should he lose control and not watch his condition.
Weaknesses:
Alteration: having the power that he does, he is capable of much more than he puts out. It matters how much substance and energy he absorbs. However, on the one time he tried to absorb more than his norm, even though he received the power he wanted he lost the feeling in his arm after basically destroying it. The pain was too immense and lasting that he deemed the limit unsafe to pass, in fear of losing his arm completely.
Bullets: For the reason of being safe, he is limited to only three burst of energy every hour. When he fights he has to be careful about using his shots because everyone counts.
Gauntlet: The gauntlet can be broken by one of two ways: 1. He his an object that's pushing forth the same amount of power he is. 2. Someone hits him with a curved spear like object that comes close to the strength as his armor and hits him at a certain angle. The preferred angle of impact would be the top of the bridge between the middle of his middle knuckle and his ring knuckle.
History:
Keith was born to Marian and Jayson Jathens inside the slums of Philadelphia. He was the first and only known child to his parents. Sadly, his mother died before giving birth to him and he was C-sectioned from his mom in order to survive, being born one month earlier than expected. Though his dad loved him, once he found out about his ability, he became violent, beating Keith on multiple occasions to prove that he was still stronger than him, despite his powers. In turn, Keith himself became violent and began fighting people who he deemed fit or annoying. Not to long after turning 15, Keith nearly beat his father to death and left him. It wasn't like he was walking out into the street because he hadn't lived in a home for years.
Shortly after being on his own, he realized that human scientist would pay him money to experiment on him and run test, money he used to buy food and help out the other homeless kids around his neighborhood. It was through these test that he realized that his powers were stronger than he had thought they were and began secretly going out and raiding banks and other facilities that had money. He also accepted some underground jobs which had led him to travel outside of his city. He went to New York to destroy the statue of liberty, bringing back her head for some french contractors that he'd met, but didn't follow through with it, realizing that they were using him to go against his own country. Not only that, but they were planning on double crossing him when he had retrieved the head and were going to leave him out for dead. He barely beat them all, seeing as they also had mutants on their side and decided to lay low for a while so he could heal himself. However, through watching the news he saw the reports on the HMR pressuring mutants. His own kind. He also heard word of allot of the mutants plans to go out and attack the HMR facilities. He didn't really care about the HMR or his fellow mutants, but did see excitement in raiding with a bunch of people who seemed to have powers just like him. He now plans on introducing himself with a bang and destroying everything he can see.
Other information: While using his powers, his hair changes color and style, making it easy for him to stay hidden without having to wear a costume. This may be the main reason why the law hasn't been able to chase him.
