HELLO! I'm Ian (lobo), new to the game but familiar with a lot of you. A big hello to those I'm not! I am CST with the best bet of contacting me being email. I only have one for right now. wtf ij keep me logged in.
This is Manuel Aguilar! A 23 year old, Beta level Metahuman Operative with the power to manipulate metal. His codename is Shrapnel due to his preference to rip apart larger metal objects into smaller forms to use as piercing rounds or whatever suits his needs (he also likes to make metal spiders and swing around on metal cables but he will never admit to it). On Team Gold, specializing as a Blaster but known to use Bruiser/Striker methods when needed to. Has been at the Lock for around 18 years.
Polite but possesses poor social skills and a tendency to keep his emotions bottled up. Can come off as cold, distant at best and he has not had the best streak of making friends but he tries. Honestly just cling to him as tight as you can and he'll warm up to you (it's what Paul, QDEP, did). On the inside he is a dork let me tell you. He's rather fond of the metal spiders he makes and uses in battle, he secretly calls them metaraƱas which is just metal and spider in Spanish smushed together. Those of you who have known him when he was a child will know that he's been making these metal spiders for forever. He likes to swing around on metal cables, he'll claim that it's more maneuverable but don't listen. Manuel has a big heart, likes to have fun and, while he might be slightly closed off, he's fond of physical gestures of affection. Slightly insecure and afraid that the friends he does have will leave him when they no longer find him interesting but he hides it really well.
Short version: Manuel Aguilar, 23, Beta metal manipulator, Team Gold Operative (blaster mainly, striker/bruiser at times), room 7K (studio). Has been at the Lock since 5 years old. Is a dork with a big heart but emotionally closed off. Plots? He's been at the Lock since childhood so those that have been here for 10+ years would know him. Anything else at all, wide open!
