==Capabilities==
User is made up of or can transform their body completely into metal. Users' transformed form is either anatomically identical to their normal form, aside of being made of metal, in which case it contains all to organs and is somewhat vulnerable to attacks. Alternately the user can transform into homogenous matter, without any part of their form being more important than the other.

User gains varying powers depending of what kind of metal they mimic: some metals are soft but malleable and survive damage by flexing under the attack and returning back to their normal state afterwards, others are hard and can take severe damage before eventually breaking. Some users may even shatter after receiving enough damage, but reconstruct themselves afterwards unharmed.

Revision as of 15:00, 17 February 2020

The power to transform into or have a physical body made up of metal. Technique of Metal Manipulation. Variation of Earth Mimicry.

Also Called

  • Ferro Body/Mimicry/Physiology
  • Ferrokinetic Mimicry/Physiology
  • Metal Body/Physiology
  • Metallic Body/Mimicry/Physiology
  • Metallicization/Metallization

Capabilities

User is made up of or can transform their body completely into metal. Users' transformed form is anatomically identical to their normal form, aside of being made of metal, in which case it contains all to organs and is somewhat vulnerable to attacks. Alternately the user can transform into homogeneous matter, without any part of their form being more important than the other.

User gains varying powers depending of what kind of metal they mimic: some metals are soft but malleable and survive damage by flexing under the attack and returning back to their normal state afterwards, others are hard and can take severe damage before eventually breaking. Some users may even shatter after receiving enough damage, but reconstruct themselves afterwards unharmed.

Metals have also varying abilities relating their ability to tolerate/conduct heat, electricity, acid/corrosion, etc. Several metals have specific symbolic and mystical properties as well.

Applications

Techniques

Variations

Associations

Limitations

  • User is vulnerable to all effects that would affect normal metals, including Magnetism Manipulation and Corrosion Inducement, depending on the metal in question.
  • User is essentially solid piece of metal, with everything that comes with it, including extreme weight and inability to float, except in the cases of low-density metals such as Lithium, Potassium, and Sodium.
  • May slow the user.
