Basics
Name: Simba Matthews
Nicknames: Volcano
Age: 19
Birthday: January 12th
Grade: 12th
Power:
Molten Manipulation: Simba was born with the incredible power to psionically control all things molten (ex fire, earth, magma/lava) while also being capable of raising his external and internal body temperature. Allowing the young man to project intense heat from his own physical being, while also leaving his body unharmed by the sudden rise in temperatures in and around himself; making him effectively immune to his own powers and other sources of worldly heat. Only being affected by heat that is hotter than what he can produce. This mutation allows the young man to raise his own temperature to around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit in less than a second, causing the air around him to become hot and seemingly heavier while the ground he stands on begins to melt and become molten. He can raise the temperature of select body parts and even control his temperature as to not burn allies or innocents.
As his name suggest, Volcano is able to psionically manipulate and produce the earths molten materials, which, in turn allows him to cause magma, or molten rock, from far beneath Earth's crust to rise and break through the surface. Forming an effect similar to a miniature volcanoes, and often causing light rumbling and breaking of the ground, though to create an earthquake he would have to be near a fault line. Simba can also telekinetically control lava and magma, shaping the volatile substance into objects of his choosing being limited by his imagination and the amount of magma present. Though these structures are best crafted with more solid material and will only retain their shape if he quickly draws all the heat out of his constructs which is a feat in and of itself. He can create these ’statues’ without physically molding them with his hands and generally creates simple things like walls, boulders, ladders and even slides, by shaping the rocks into a smooth surface while it is still easy to mold.
Volcano is capable of forming rising pillars of magma beneath his feet to support himself, and others as well as creating floating platforms of magma to simulate flight with. The strength of these platforms is determined by its thickness, steadiness, his concentration, and by how well it has been braced. Able to go almost 90 feet into the air with a column that is 6 feet in diameter as opposed to going a few feet with into the air with a smaller column. By using this along side connecting the pillars, the mutant will be able to create magma ramps to access hard to reach areas though these are best used when riding a ramp down. Allowing him to pick up speed due to less concentration on bracing the structure, though the ramp WILL break without enough support for the distributed weight of Simba and his allies.
His molten powers aren’t simply limited to constructs however and are most powerful when used in their more ‘raw’ state, such as projecting fiery blasts of magma at foes; by turning nearby rock molten, or having existing molten material, and then telekinetically hurling it at his target. Causing massive burning and concussive damage. He can also control magma that he cannot see, allowing him to perform sneak attacks or attack foes from around structures or those who are behind him. This power works on a molecular level and as such he can control every detail about the magma under his influence, making it a certain density, and shape.
If he isn’t around a source of molten earth, Simba is able to produce the substance from his hands or mouth in order to attack. Doing so can be more straining than simply using existing material, however so he tends to only use it as a last resort or when a quick attack is needed, as opposed to pulling the magma from the earth and into the air. Though this power is highly destructive, it comes with it’s fair share of drawbacks.
The first being that having control over is power is ABSOULTELY necessary, as he could seriously hurt or kill someone with his gifts. Making the use of his powers something that should only be done within his area of comfort, since there’s no saying sorry if you throw lava in someone’s face. Speaking of control, his emotions are linked to his powers (especially his anger) so he has to control his emotions as best he can, otherwise he risks shaking the earth around him over a petty debacle. Magma is also a dense substance, so it becomes slower the further away it gets from him so using his powers at a mid to close range is easiest for him. With farther and faster targets being difficult to hit and affecting his precision. The biggest down side may be his opposing element of water, ice and cold as they can slow and even solidify his magma making his attacks useless against them. This is only against intense water or mass amounts of the frigid elements as well.
Organic-Molten Transformation: Simba’s second ability is that which allows him to not only cover his body with molten rock, but to actually become organic magma. Taking on a humanoid form similar to his own being in shape, but instead being composed of burning rock and lava. In this form he is virtually indestructible, allowing him to reform his body should it become shattered, but this comes with a temporary loss of his first power, molten manipulation. Simba has a degree of control over this molten form allowing him to form spikes, shields, extra appendages, or even stretch his limbs to reach inaccessible objects. While in this form, he is capable of seeing others through heat signatures due to the increase in heat from his presence. Though this isn’t always active and he can choose to see others this way, it is more comfortable for him to look at others as heat signatures even though he chooses not to.
His is able to transform into this armor-like state at will through a nearly instantaneous process and can remain this way for an undetermined amount of time. Though by knocking him unconscious Simba will revert to normal spontaneously leaving him vulnerable. While transformed his rock like skin is always crackling with heat and crashing together, giving him a constant sound of gravel crunching and a light sizzle whenever he walks. With the gradual heat of his body melting the ground wherever he steps, but by controlling his body temperature he can allow himself to be touched by his allies. Volcano can also become partially armored, allowing him to only transform a certain limb of his body, and while in this form he is self sustenant.
As his body becomes composed of magma, his musculature produces little to no fatigue toxins, allowing him to operate at his peak for hours on end. Exerting himself for several days before his body begins to tire and require rest, which combined with his self sufficiency in this state making him a dangerous force to be reckoned with. With skin more durable toward most forms of bodily harm, capable of taking on small hand guns, explosions and even withstanding falls from great heights while in his armored body and should he shatter, he can reform himself using any rock or magma around him.

Personality
[/b]- Simba is no fool and has excelled in his studies as a youth; taking school and learning very seriously.
Positive:
* Optimistic- Not everything is as bad as it could be, and that’s something the young man lives by. Almost like a life motto,
* Patient- Most people have never seen Simba over react, which is probably a good thing. It would probably take QUITE A BIT of pressure to make the young man erupt.
* Confident- What’s there to be insecure about, everyone has flaws so why wallow on your own. Not that he isn’t humble, he just isn’t some insecure cry baby.
* Sincere- Simba puts his heart into what he does, whether its talking to someone or doing paperwork, he is passionate and sincere.
* Perceptive- If you think Simba didn‘t see you sneakily picking your nose, or doing something gross because he was looking down at his phone… you‘re wrong. He saw it, and took note of it…changing his own perceptions of you.[/ul]
Negative:
* Obstinate- Calling Simba stubborn is an understatement. Once he has an opinion on something, or has decided to do something, you’d have a better chance of making a house jump than you would of changing his mind.
* Over Emotional- While he’s not always crying or jumping with joy, he isn’t one to hide his emotions and often wears his heart on his sleeve.
* Nosey- Simba isn’t a fan of secrets and if he wants to know something, you’d better believe he’s going to find a way to know it.
* Promiscuous- Simba is, for a lack of better words, a slut and has no shame about it. Why should he be ashamed of being sexually liberated?
* Over Protective- If you hurt one of his friends or someone who isn’t capable of defending themselves, be prepared to get your ass kicked. [/ul]
Likes:
* Hot Springs- What’s better than taking a long soak in a hot, relaxing body of water.
* Volcanoes- After his powers manifested he took a great interest in the science behind the giant molten mountains.
* Like- Optional explanation; More can be added[/ul]
Dislikes:
* Pie- It’s just gross.
* Dislike- Optional explanation
* Dislike- Optional explanation; More can be added[/ul]
