The Basics
Full Name: Nathan Ward
Codename: Goldmine
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Nationality: Australian
Powers: Minor geokinesis user. Can create stone armour, and turn his body to metal.
Occupation: Groundskeeper
Appearance
Height/Weight: 5’11/13st
Voice/Accent: Tenor. Thick Australian accent, with a reasonable smattering of slang.
Facial Features: Very strong, squared features overall, offset by round green eyes. Nose has clearly been reset (poorly) on multiple occasions. Golden-blonde hair tied in a ponytail.
Body Type: Brick. Pure mesomorph, with little muscular definition but lots of muscle. General posture suggests he doesn't want to take up space.
Personality and Skills
Personality: Apprehensive, submissive, keen, catty, bright. While he appears to completely lack a spine and allows others to make the majority of decisions for him, Nathan has a good heart and hates standing by when things go bad. Hidden beneath his pushover exterior is a surprisingly sarcastic streak, which often gets released in deadpan mumbles. He is keenly aware of the prejudice against mutants, having suffered through it alone for a good many years now, and will often suppress or completely hide his powers, even from other mutants that already know. He gets along well with most personalities, and those who can work past the nervousness will find a reliable friend and a gentle shoulder to cry on.
Skills:
Conceal don’t feel Having lived in a small country town growing up, Nathan was more than aware of the stigma against mutants. He’d grown up watching his neighbours verbally tear apart any mutants that passed through the town, sometimes to the point of refusing service in their extremely limited shops. When his own powers came in, a bit late at age 15, he immediately withdrew from his community, and ultimately ran away at age 17 when someone discovered him. He jumped around between towns and cities, trying to find somewhere he’d be happy to settle for more than a few months, but each time his powers would be revealed (just as often by his own mistakes as other people forcefully discovering it). He had a very hard time keeping jobs because of this, so when a mysterious letter came to his most current address saying they had employment for him, in the U.S.A no less, he was equal parts thrilled and terrified. He decided, in an unusually bold move for him, to put his doubt aside and go for it, booking a flight to America that same day.

Skills:
- POWERS - Can create a stone covering over himself (usually granite or marble), and uses this as his primary power. Has become particularly adept at creating armour with speed, but this does forsake its strength, and he cannot reinforce it (or change the material out of which it’s made) without completely removing it and starting over. Has the ability to merge/unmerge his armour with other sources, as long as the materials match (eg marble armour can attach to marble pillars, but not brick). With a great deal of focus, he can step out of his armour, allowing other people to wear it, but doing so leaves both him and the armour highly vulnerable. His secondary power, one that he exhibits far less frequently (ie never), is the ability to turn his body into pure, solid gold. Due to its natural softness and his limited ability to change it to a different metal, he rarely uses it, defaulting to armour in a slight Catch 22 scenario; he's used to using the armour, so it comes more easily, making him use it more.
- ABILITIES - His physical strength, while not mutant-ly enhanced, is through the roof, and his endurance is similar. However his speed and agility are sorely lacking, especially while his mutation is in effect.
- FIGHTING - He will always take the defensive in a fight, using his armour extensively and turning to metal while inside it for an extra layer of defence. When forced to attack, he goes for rock-enhanced punches to try and finish it quickly.
- WEIGHT - Even as a human he isn't light, and the use of his powers frequently exacerbates this. Even the lightest armour he can create is several extra pounds to lug around.
