X-GENE MUTATIONColossus is a mutant with the superhuman ability to convert the tissue of his entire body into an organic steel-like substance, granting him superhuman strength and a high degree of resistance to bodily harm. This substance, resembling organic steel, is of unknown composition but appears to be analogous to osmium and to carbon steel. He is able to transform into this armour-like state at will (the process is virtually instantaneous) and remain in that form for an as yet undetermined amount of time. (The longest time he has remained in armoured form so far has been five days). Once in his armoured form he remains so until he consciously wills himself back to normal. If he is rendered unconscious, however, he spontaneously reverts to his normal form. While in his armoured state, Colossus possesses the same degree of mobility that he does in his normal form.
The process by which Colossus transforms himself to armoured form and back (including his gain of additional mass from an unknown, perhaps extra-dimensional, force) remains unknown. Colossus cannot become partially or selectively armoured; his body is either entirely converted or not. Even his eyes become steel-like; his eyeballs can withstand and deflect the impact of a .45 calibre bullet.
In his armoured form Colossus is highly resistant to most forms of bodily harm. His armour is capable of withstanding ballistic penetration, including that of a 110 millimetre Howitzer shell. He could survive a collision with a loaded, one-ton flatbed truck at 100 miles per hour or an explosion of 450 pounds of TNT. He can survive extremes of temperature from 70 degrees above absolute zero (-390 degrees Fahrenheit) to approximately 9000 Fahrenheit. However, it is theorized that above the latter temperature, his armoured form would begin to melt. Colossus's armoured form cannot rust under normal Earth conditions.
Colossus is in unusually fine physical health, permitting the transition back and forth from his normal organic flesh state to his armoured form to occur with minimal stress on his system. His normal lungs are capable of holding his breath for 3.6 minutes. In the past he has exhibited a minimal or nonexistent need to breathe while in his armoured state. However, it is believed that he could not survive for long in a vacuum. His endurance and speed are somewhat greater in his armoured form.
Control: Complete
Weaknesses: Colossus can be too trusting and his armour gives him little defence against mental attacks, he also has slightly reduced agility and speed because of his bulk, especially in his armoured form.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILEPersonality: He is very loyal to those he cares about chief among these is his sister Illyana. This loyalty has spread to include many of the younger x-men. Piotr is also a very gentle and loving person, and at times has been referred to as the ultimate gentle giant. He has a great love of art and music and tries to appreciate the beauty in everything around him.
He is also something of an introvert, tending to keep to himself, often too shy to talk to strangers unless the situation demands it. He has a good heart and an idealistic mind believing in the good and beauty of the world, even when it shows him its other side. You could say he was something of a dreamer, he has a vivid imagination and uses it to advantage in his art.
Demeanour: Shy. Piotr is not confident when dealing with others especially girls he likes. He is often found alone relishing in his own company.
Nature: Caring/Hard working. His upbringing on a farm has given him a very high work ethic. He never knowingly breaks rules and also works his hardest. Despite his large frame he does not like to hurt others and when needs be he is the ultimate gentle giant.
Current Affiliation: X-Men, Students
Previous Affiliation: N/A
HISTORYPiotr’s life started in Siberia, on a small farm owned and run by his parents, Alexandra Rasputina and Vladimir Rasputin. He was not their first child nor there last and his early life was spent happily enough playing on the farm, and trying to get into as much trouble as a small boy can find in such a place. Though of course it was never intentional, usually he was merely trying to ‘Help’. Though luckily for Piotr (and his parents as well no doubt) he soon grew up and was able to make himself useful in the running of the farm. He watched as his older brother Mikhail went off to become a Cosmo naught, “making his whole family proud” as his father said. Later it was discovered that Mikhail was a mutant, with the ability to warp energy. Not long after this discovery Piotr two discovered he wasn’t an ordinary Human.
Accidents happen on the land, and the Rasputin family’s property was no different. It was in an accident involving his sister Ilyana and a tractor that Piotr’s abilities first surfaced. As he dove in front of the vehicle his entire body morphed into a metallic substance that was so strong that when the Tractor hit him, the only thing damaged was the tractor itself. Along with this miraculous ability Piotr soon discovered he had increased levels of strength as well, and over the next years he used his abilities to help with work on the farm, now he could do the work of two men or more and hardly break a sweat. Though sadly things didn’t stay so good for Piotr. As the years passed and his family’s farm grew, the neighbors grew jealous of the Rasputin family. It wasn’t fair that they could do twice as much with half the manpower, and they soon began making life difficult for the family.
It was at this time that Xavier discovered Piotr and offered him a scholarship at his School for the Gifted. Piotr didn’t want to leave his family, especially his sister to whom he was very close, but his family encouraged him to go. Saying he would receive a good education and perhaps one day become something that would make them proud like his brother, they never mentioned the added benefits that having him gone would provide them. Piotr eventually decided to go with Xavier, deciding that he would use his abilities for good, to help people like his struggling family to build better lives.
Piotr found it difficult to adjust to life in America, not only was there a language barrier in these first few months but the other students didn’t seem to want to be friends with him, his clothes were old and worn, and he had a shy nature and so making friends was hard. Eventually though he struck up a few friendships and eventually the other students began to look up to the gentle giant. Though even today he still only has a few he would truly count as friends.
Life at Xavier’s though has never been dull for Piotr. Not long ago for example there was a city wide attack by some genetically enhanced Canines. When Professor X gave the command for all the students to be moved to the danger room. Piotr stepped up to help organize the younger students in getting there safely.
He had been awoken by Xavier’s urgent message as the canines attacked the school. Piotr wasn’t sure what they wanted, it didn’t really matter, all that mattered was getting the students downstairs to safety. He hastily climbed out of bed and without a seconds thought morphed into his metallic form. As he exited his dorm room into the corridor he heard the sounds of barking, sounds so close he knew they were as close as outside the hall window. He quickly ran through and woke up each of the students in his dorm and organized them all, and headed for the Danger Room. He didn’t have much time to think about the ironic name of the place given the circumstances, as one of the canines, something that looked like a rabid Doberman came crashing through the window.
Piotr had to resist the urge to curse in Russian as the beast came crashing through scattering glass over the floor and the students. Piotr jumped on the animal and yelled to the students to get to the danger room while he battled to restrain the beast. After some time of struggle as the beast tore at his clothes, yelping in pain whenever it tried to bite his rock hard skin, Piotr managed to knock the canine unconscious, leaving it there he ran to join the other students, and he escorted them the rest of the way to the danger room. He had wanted to leave and help the rest of the X-men in the defense of the mansion, but a small boy with wounds from the glass reminded him where his duty lay. ~Let the Others take care of it for now, you’re more needed here,~ he thought to himself.
They waited in there for a long time, running various programs to keep the students minds occupied and off whatever may be happening outside. Piotr and a couple of the others helped bandage any wounds the students had sustained and so it was that they waited it out until someone came to tell them it was safe again.Thankfully now that crisis has been resolved. For now he commits his time to studying, his artwork (which has always been his passion) and his friends.
SAMPLE ROLE PLAYThe air was icy cold upon his skin as he sat upon a frozen stone bench and gazed out at the beauty around him. The snow reminded him of home. That place now so far across the sea. It was beautiful in its crystalline whiteness, and yet deadly in its severe cold. It was like him in a way, like so many others who resided here at the mansion. Benign looking on the surface, beautiful even with a deadly secret that can be revealed if you get too close. Piotr Rasputin turned his gaze to the blank sheet of paper he clasped in his gloved hands. Quickly he sketched a rough outline with the graphite pencil he held. A guide to beauty, so he could paint this scene in a place warmer, that wouldn’t freeze his paints before he had a chance to use them.
His hand slid smoothly over the paper, sketching out areas and making notations as to colours and shapes. He was midway through a sketch of a pine tree that stood over the icy garden bed when his silent introspection was broken by the chatter of students who had decided to brave the cold in order to escape the stuffy inside of the mansion. He watched them pass with passing interest. Noting the faces and the people in case they should decide to come over and talk to him. They did that sometimes, though he was never quite sure if it was meant as a gesture of friendship or if it was just out of some kind of feeling of obligation.
He kept mostly to himself, and had few people who he could call true friends at the mansion. Some were afraid of him, had taken one look at him and had run in the opposite direction. That happened some times; people with his build too often took advantage of it to be bullies. The others just tended to leave him alone. He didn’t mind much; he was used to it and had grown accustomed to being a loner.
“Hey Piotr” A little surprised at being addressed, his head shot up so his blue eyes could meet the one who addressed him. The voice was a familiar one, and its owner plonked herself down on the bench beside him. “Whatchya drawing?” She asked impishly. Suddenly shy Piotr tried in vain to cover up his sketch. His artwork was always and had always been a private thing to him. He liked to keep it to himself until such a time as he was satisfied with the end result. “Oh..” he stammered, trying to find the words. “It’s nothing really.” He muttered, hurrying to put away the sketch. “Oh come on... don’t be shy!” She chided reaching for the drawing, which succeeded in making Piotr only stuff it into his patched back pack quicker. She pouted when she couldn’t wrestle it from his grasp, as he hastily bucked the straps on his bag.
“Oh you’re no fun.” She crossed her arms. Remaining on the bench for a few moments until her irritation drove her back inside. “Bye Piotr,” she called to him as she flounced off heading back into the warmth. Aside from the bright pink hair, the wings and the pointed ears. She had always reminded him of his sister a little. Short and annoying. With one last look around the snow capped landscape Piotr sighed and stood, leaving a patch on the bench where he had melted away the snow. His back side now wet as proof, he headed indoors. Time to dry off, and start his painting.

I didn't read through all of the Canine plot threads, so if this is inaccurate and needs editing just let me know and I'll see what i can do.

. Just one more thing though, could you pretty please name the people he sees as his good friends, lol. I know most of my characters would fit that category… at least, I hope. LOL.
