Metal Mimicry

The power in which one’s anatomical and physiological being can be changed to metal at one’s will. It is a partial variation of inorganic mimicry.

Also Called

 * Metal Form
 * Metal Body
 * Metal Physiology
 * Metallic Physiology

Capability
The user assumes a form which is made of metal while still maintaining biological significance and functions. This ability may change the user's skin color. The user may be able to revert back at will. Users may not need to eat/drink, sleep or even breathe.The wielder's blood may also transmute into energy when transforming into metal form. This could lead to potential Energy Manipulation, for only the most experienced users.

Applications

 * May allow users to meld with other metals which may also allow Wall-crawling.
 * Usually manifests first as Dermal Armor.
 * As a result, Enhanced Durability or Invulnerability can likely occur later.
 * A large resistance to Mental Manipulation and Magic as users are partially inorganic.
 * Users may be able to modify their physique and form constructs.
 * Some users may have Enhanced Strength when in metallic form.
 * Can take on traits of different metals:
 * Gold: mimic traits of gold
 * Silver: mimic traits of silver
 * Bronze: mimic traits of bronze
 * Brass': mimic traits of brass
 * Some could have Metal Manipulation.

Potential:

 * Quintessence Force
 * Energy Manipulation
 * Constructs
 * Force Fields
 * Blasts
 * Force Armor

Limitations

 * This form is extremely susceptible to magnetic forces (especially Metal Manipulation or Magnetism Manipulation) unless users have the ability themselves.
 * May require some form of Bionic Physiology.
 * May unintentionally cause users to become as stiff as a board, though in this form they are even more indestructible and far denser than their mobile counterparts. One could work around it by jumping off a high surface and landing on a target, or having an ally or allies with enhanced strength use them as a weapon or a battering ram.
 * May be restricted only to controlling the metal that composes and produced from the body, and not preexisting element created from another source.
