Name- Damon Liam Phillips
Codename- Paladin
Age- 24
Sex- Male
Birthplace- Baltimore, Maryland
Height- 6’ 6”
Weight- 190 lbs
Powers- Very short ranged but very powerful magnetic abilities. Paladin has a small box in his ribcage, filled with tiny particles of adamantium. He can move them through several tubes on his body, ending in holes in his forearm. Once outside his body, he can assemble the particles into several weapons, his favourite being a huge two-handed sword slung across his back. He can also manifest organic steel rather like Colossus, although weaker. His magnetism means he can deflect bullets with his mind. Finally, he may use his magnetic power to assist him when moving metallic items, meaning he can lift light things, like motorcycles, with ease.
These powers will therefore make him very weak against other magnetic attacks, even when not in his armoured form. He cannot form anything with moving parts, like a gun, with his adamantium. Also, he will automatically set off any metal detectors, due to the adamantium filled cavity in his chest. The armour is silver, and so not much use as a stealth option.
Description- Very tall, Damon is very athletically minded and muscular. He has green eyes, and dirty brown hair. His skin is Caucasian, but he has a deep tan from his life in the Caribbean. Distinguishing features include a large surgical scar down the centre of his chest, three small (1/2cm diameter) metallic holes in a line on each forearm, several scars, and a tattoo on his back of an angel with a sword and wings outspread.
Personality- While not totally secretive and a loner, Damon plays his cards close to his chest with people not familiar to him. He will go far for his friends, however, and is very loyal. If he feels that you are his friend, you could trust him with your life, and be confident that he would expect the same of you. He is only really comfortable around other mutants, however, as he has seen the darker side of humanity. He doesn’t regard humans as enemies, like Magneto, but any respect or ideas that humans will tolerate mutants have been stripped away.
Hobbies and pastimes- Damon has a motorcycle, a dark blue Yamaha 2002 TDM 900, and he takes very good care of it. He also plays basketball quite well, and enjoys it. American Football is also another of his hobbies, which he plays and enjoys. Damon is also a dedicated martial artist and gymnast, and knows tai kwon do and karate, and is very agile and has good reflexes. Finally, he enjoys listening to music, mainly rock stuff (e.g. Linkin Park), and knows how to play electric guitar, and is d**n good at it.
Bio- Born into a loving family, Damon lived in Maryland until his mother died when he was nine. Then he and his father moved to San Juan, where his father had lived as a child. Damon lived reasonably well as a teen, with good friends, and he was kept fit by joining a gym at the age of ten.
At the age of thirteen, it became blatantly obvious that Damon was a mutant when he suddenly began to attract metallic items. He and his father had no idea of how to take care of him, and both began to despair. Damon refused to leave the house, and his father banned any of his old friends from entering their home. It was in this time of crisis, that the men first came.
They offered to take Damon away and teach him to control his powers. After a long talk, Damon and his father decided that Damon had to learn to use his powers in order to survive. The men took him away, to Cuba, when they knocked him unconscious with a drug and he awoke to find himself in a plastic holding cell.
Then began the mutant testing. Almost every week, the men would drug him into unconsciousness, before beginning to test on him. At first, they were searching for a way to eradicate the x-gene, but they came around to the idea of a supersoldier, and began ‘improving’ Damon, based on his powers. They began to train him to use the magnetic properties of his body to control and form weapons from metal. This atrocity was finally stopped by the x-men, who broke up the testing facility, and offered to take in Damon. This time, Damon refused and ran away, having heard almost the same sentiments from the men who took him from his father. Escaping the country, Damon returned to San Juan, only to find that his father had died from grief, after being told that Damon had been killed in an industrial accident. Fleeing to the land of his birth, Damon decided to start a new life in the USA.
Since then, Damon has travelled the United States, perfecting his powers through trial and error, going where the wind takes him, doing as he wishes, but always on the lookout for mutants. When he learned of the Xavier institute after arriving in New York, he remembered Xavier’s hand of friendship as a child. Phoning the institute, he asked if the position was still open.
