( P O W E R )[/COLOR] Gearforme – Connor's body is no longer a typical biological entity. He is composed of countless tiny gears and a mass-distributed consciousness. He is one gear, he is many gears, he is all gears. This has several advantages and disadvantages. Connor does not need to eat or breath, but he must sleep/rest in order to maintain control of his diverse form, when unconscious he can not maintain cohesion and dissolves into a pile of gears. He can control his form in any manner he chooses including; altering his appearance, shapeshifting, separation and reattachment of body parts, disassembling into a mass of sentient gears, and limited size alteration. He can perceive anything that one of his gears can, and always knows where they are in relation to him if the get separated, as well as move them with his thoughts. He typically is in the form of what he looked like before his powers activated, but has a cool metallic feel to the touch. Connor is not experienced with shapeshifting outside his own physical appearance so does not do it often, and leaving parts of himself behind is an unsettling feeling so he avoids smaller forms. He is as strong as the average person of his height and build, but is about as durable as steel, allowing him to break things someone of his figure could not. His voice has a very hard quality to it, like metal grinding together, which is noticeable under his accent.

He is not unduly affected by external conditions except extreme heat and cold which can cause his gears to temporarily fuse, rendering him motionless until such a time that he can separate himself. Electricity can disrupt his thought patterns and is likened to getting drunk/stoned and magnetic fields/ metal manipulators can severely hamper his ability to do anything. If Connor get distracted or unfocused, sometimes smaller gears will fly off on their own volition, or lines and cracks show on his face as the gears fall apart when he is tired. Connor is not particularly suited for combat as strong blows will scatter parts of him making it difficult to move. If any of his gears are significantly damaged or destroyed, replacement materials must be sought out as soon as possible and integrated into Connor's being. Telepaths have a hard time trying to glean information from Connor as his mind is not in one place but many and does not operate in a typical fashion.

( S E C R E T S )[/COLOR] Connor is slowly becoming more machine than man.
Connor can function as a normal human, but chooses not to.
( O V E R A L L )[/COLOR] Connor is a generally easygoing guy, he enjoys reading and is something of a loner by choice. He is good at socializing and acting as part of the group but he can't often relate to some of the more everyday problems so he finds it easier to remove himself before things become awkward or too personal.
He is a very poor student but not through any lack of intelligence, Connor is just easily bored and does not try to get good grades or impress his teachers outside of his favourite class, engineering, in which he has an intuitive grasp of it's all aspects. He does enjoy interacting with his peers as long as it is in group settings like a party or a dance, and will only choose to interact one-on-one with girls, whom he has an inherent weakness for.

Connor is kind, and perceptive but enjoys getting physical with people and is accomplished in Judo and some MMA, and will never back down from a challenge and is not above using his powers at any opportunity. He enjoys physical training and does so regularly. He carries a rather big secret though, when he leaves his powers active it slowly erodes away at his personality making him more automaton than man. This would be a problem for most people but Connor enjoys the feelings his powers give him and only deactivates them when he has to. He isn't sure what possible affect this might have on him in the future, but for now it just makes him tired all the time.

LEANING NOW INTO THE BREEZE, REMEMBERING SUNDAY HE FALLS TO HIS KNEES.

( P E T S )[/B][/COLOR] Growing up Connor had a cat he was quite fond of, but she passed on before he moved to the Power's Academy
( O V E R A L L )[/B][/COLOR] Connor was a fairly average kid growing up, he had an aptitude for design and engineering, a loving and successful family, and good grades. He was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland and has lived there for most of his life, resulting in a fairly think accent that is understandable, but hasn't had time to fade. His powers activated when he was in his freshman year of high school, during a tryout for the school's judo team. Connor had been enrolled in judo since he was young as a way to promote physical fitness so he was fairly competent by now. His opponent could see that, and was a little to desperate to win, he was on the losing side of a hold and decided to try fighting a little dirty. He feigned trying to break the hold but threw a vicious elbow at Connor's head... Which dissolved into a tiny stylized pieces of metal and reformed at a safe distance across the room... Needless to say people were freaked... and Connor's life got increasingly more difficult. It started with snide remarks and shouts of “FREAK!!” and quickly moved on to assaults and attacks by student and teachers. The school refused to don anything about it and Connor was at a loss, was this the way his life was going to be?

Fortunately for him, his parents were in no shortage of money or connections and were aware of a place where he could go where he would be accepted for who he is and maybe get some kind of handle on his new found abilities. Connor finished out his freshman and sophomore years and was on a plane to the Power's Academy. He was set up in a small studio apartment near the campus and ready to start anew for his junior year.

( S A M P L E P O S T )[/B][/COLOR] Connor was late... again. He hadn't yet gotten used to the time difference, between that and his powers, he was always sleeping in. “I can't be late again... I'll get detention and have to go through another annoying lecture about 'the importance of punctuality' ugh.. This is not my day so far.”He looked over at a clock. “Damn, no time to walk.. I need to do this my way.” Connor grabbed his backpack and everything he might need for the day, then he opened the window and let his control slip. Where once stood a man stood a gleaming man-shaped figure. Small cracks and imperfections formed along the figure and small gears begin to fly out of holes forming on the figure's surface. In the space of a few seconds, Connor had become a cloud of miniscule gears. The cloud scooped up the backpack and floated out of the window, stopping only to close it with a crudely formed hand. It was then off to school.

Connor didn't do it often, but he really enjoyed just falling apart. His senses extended from being a cohesive whole, to the chaos that was how he was meant to be. He picked up some speed and headed towards the school, searching out an open window to his first class... He was in luck! His teacher was currently writing the lesson plan on the board and had not taken attendance. Connor was not one to pass up an opportunity and sped through the gap; up, over, and around his fellow students who stopped to stare at the spectacle he was making, and to his seat where he reformed, clothes and all.

His teacher, who had never stopped writing on the board during his entrance, only pause to say; “Mr. Cassidy.. That is the fourth time in a row you have been late to my class. Detention, and we can discuss the importance of punctuality.”
“Bollocks, I knew she'd say that.” Connor muttered under his breath.
“Detention tomorrow as well Mr. Cassidy, where we can talk about your lack of manners.”

YOU WERE FAKE, I WAS GREAT--NOTHING PERSONAL

;;ACCEPTED!!!

To be honest I was a bit iffy about accepting this power, but I figure it's singular and limited enough to not turn into an all-powerful thing or count as multiple powers. :) Thanks so much for joining! Make sure to make your claims and have fun!
