Chris was an Olympic contender for the Greek team in power-lifting, until
his heart-attack induced Eruption when his skin turned into red-hot hardened
bronze… Always a player, he became something of a local celebrity and
hero about town to make up for his lost Olympic hopes, reveling in his new
powers and fame. He could power down, but was always a trifle warmer
than normal feeling and his skin retained a slight ruddy-golden tinge that
could be mistaken for a good tan. (He became unable to get an actual
tan after developing his powers, thanks to his Adaptability, but already
had a monster tan when he erupted and is quite thankful!)
Chris never wanted to be a bodybuilder, he just wanted people to pay a lot
of attention to him and found power-lifting to be one of the best ways of
getting this attention. Now he gets all the attention that he craves, the sort
of attention he couldn’t get at home from his single mom with 4 other kids
to split her attention between. He treats his family with the same benign
neglect that he feels he has received from them, and, to his mothers credit,
she seems to have no interest in cashing in on her now-famous son.
When working with the Avatars he wears the Eufiber costume that the
government had created specially for him, resembling stylized Thracian
bronze armor and helmet, but even in his mundane day to day attire,
he can Attune his clothing to adjust to his powers. He is attempting to
increase his ability to Attune items, hoping to soon be using a flaming
bronze broadsword and shield in melee...
