-Character Information-
Name: Erik Lehnsherr
Canon: X-Men: First Class; taken from after he gathers the other “children” mutants to their division.
Previous Game: n/a
Gender: Manly man.
Cell Phone: This one~
Physical Description: Mutant, but humanoid~
Personality: Erik is a man that lives his life by his own doctrines and tends to be more close minded when trying to accept any other way of living. With these atrocities shaping his life, it left little room for warmth and comfort to help him see the good in other people. All Erik sees is the true nature of man, which is evil and self-serving. Being a victim of the holocaust, Erik started to develop somewhat of a messiah complex. From a young age, Erik realized the importance of power and the need to be able to overwhelm one's enemies. These hardships he endured also helped with seeing the contrast between strong and weak. When he was young he was viewed as weak by the Nazis and he never wanted to feel that way again.
The scars the holocaust left on him from what happened to his family and to himself caused Erik to see these things as a sign that humans are flawed creatures. The nature of power, specifically his own abilities, causes him to see his fellow mutants in a different way as well. This leads to distinct differences in how Erik sees the flawed humans versus his own powerful abilities that sets him apart from them. This only adds to the messiah complex of Erik where he feels the need to rise above and become a leader to set his own kind free from the oppression of those that are considered weak to Erik. Rage and anger fuels his power and he finds it to be the only way to see things in his life. Most of any good or heartwarming memories he has have been pushed aside and replaced with vendetta and pain.
This messiah complex and his intelligence are reasons why Erik becomes such a powerful leader to the other mutants. Not only does Erik have the developing abilities as a powerful mutant, but also has the charisma to rally others to his cause. His drive and passion towards what he feels is overwhelming and something that cannot be deterred by anyone, including his best friend.

Abilities: Erik's mutation grants him the power to attract metal, very similar to the properties of a magnet. He is able to lift anything made of metal and can manipulate it as well. For example, he can move a coin, crush metal, levitate using the magnetic field of the Earth (though really this power isn't quite yet refined) and even lift a submarine. Erik also is very intelligent and at a young age he was taught how to fend for himself and can put up a decent fight physically even without his powers.

Possessions: Basic things such as the clothes he's currently wearing, which would be a dark turtleneck, leather jacket and slacks, and a small silver coin in his pocket.

First-Person Sample: [VIDEO]
[The man on the screen looked completely confused, but also very concerned. The man's brows are slightly furrowed and his face almost contemplative for a moment. It had taken Erik awhile to understand exactly how to use this very strange device.]
I want to know who is responsible for this.
[The mutant's tone is grave. He's obviously not very pleased with the lack of information and the fact that he isn't where he ought to be.]
I have important business to attend to. I don't have the time to be stuck wherever this place is.
[Part of him hopes this is some sort of dream. That or maybe this is some other mutant's powers. That wouldn't surprise him at all. Erik had seen many things during his time being exposed to other mutants like himself that possessed incredible powers.
Erik furrows his brows even more, seeming to be contemplating something else.]
If anyone has heard from a man named Charles Xavier- [He pauses for a moment. He hadn't seen Charles around anywhere, and it concerned him that there were no other mutants around. Another name starts to come to mind, but he doesn't want to be discovered quite yet. He realizes the sudden danger now, and decides to end the feed as fast as possible.]
If you have, I need to get into contact with him immediately.
Third-Person Sample: The night air was freezing, causing the dark waters Erik Lehnsherr was swimming in to chill him to the bone. His body wasn't reacting to the cold, but rather there was a burning sensation pulsating through his veins. The adrenaline rush before a kill, his heart sitting like a lump in his throat. Erik had been searching, waiting and plotting for years in order to get his revenge. Klaus Schmidt was going to die tonight, no matter what.
Slowly and carefully, he crept onto the deck of the Caspartina, Schmidt's private yacht where he did most of his plotting and traveling throughout the world. What Schmidt's plans were with doing so, Erik did not know. All he did know was that Schmidt, the man that had taken everything away from him and created him into a monster, needed to be exterminated by his hand and his alone. Revenge was the only option.
Erik inhaled deeply before stepping out, knife in hand as his creator was in plain sight. After all these years of searching, he finally found him.
“Herr Doktor,” his voice was low, all the rage that had pent up throughout the years resurfacing. There was Shaw and nothing else. The memories started to flood back and he grit his teeth as he quickly threw his knife, not even listening to anything Schmidt had to say. Someone, a mutant woman, grabbed the knife before it hit, and suddenly he was on his knees, holding his head. The memories of seeing Schmidt in front of him, scalpel in hand, his head wired up to some sort of machine, receiving treatments, going through tests, things he did not want to see ever again. These were the images that haunted his mind for years.
A rush of cold slapped his body as he was thrown overboard, and he twisted in the dark abyss, trying to gather his thoughts. He furrowed his brows, everything becoming a huge blur of events until he dove under the water, desperately trying to catch up to Schmidt's submarine. The anger blinded him, his rage consuming him as he tried to lift the submarine from the dark depths. All he wanted was revenge. All he wanted was to destroy what destroyed him.
But then there was someone holding him close, a warmth that surrounded his body and tried to pull him up to the surface. He didn't want to be saved though, he wanted was to catch Schmidt. Erik did not want to put the chance of losing Schmidt's tail and track him all over again. He was desperate, willing to die before Schmidt got away. Yet this someone entered his mind, his rage slowly subsiding. “Please, Erik, just calm your mind,” he heard clearly ringing through his head.
He gasped for air and came face to face with a blue eyed, dark haired man that would later change everything.
