Brief Summary: While most of his inherited abilities involve establishing an enhanced approach to his overall strength and durability, prolonged usage can cause slight physical trauma in the after result. It is safe to say that he doesn't have a full grasp on the maximum capability, and a slow progressive understanding on his limitations. Through self-training, this has become easier in leverage and has begun to lay a more coherent understanding. In terms of his gifted stance; with a few sub-conscious commands and a thorough exercise of some individual muscles, he can transfer nutrients towards a variety of muscle fibers in the form of proteins, allowing him to have a certain control over his bodily functions. Although this can be quite detrimental to his health, if he passes a defined threshold he can strain his internal organs and reprimand himself severely. While that note is one to remember, he can in favor harden or soften his flesh and skin, almost to immeasurable degrees. With that said, here are some trick's he's managed to conjure during his time alive.
Stage 1: This is a simple action casually performed when in the need for improved physical prowess, during this convergence his frame bolsters in size and his bodily tissue beings to turn into a pinkish hue, this is due to blood continuously being pumped through out his veins in order to fuel his newly found extension. The requirement for this performance is minimal, however it lends him considerable strength and provides him with enough to lift 900Ibs. Although this is as far as he can proceed in this state.
Stage 2: With this state enabled, it requires a reasonable amount of effort to transition over into, though it vastly outplays the initial discovery. As he relinquishes the previous form, his muscular diagram would begin to increase in girth and visibly contort, molding himself gradually. His skin begins to darken into a red velvet color, as the pressure on his body becomes more demanding by the second, his blood begins to pump rapidly to keep up with his changes. During this moment, his strength increases significantly, providing him with the capacity to lift 1,200Ibs along with a counter-measure to frontal attacks, his skin briefly hardens in response to physical trauma (no pun intended) as to endure blunt endeavors against him, baseball bat swings, wrench bashes and regular punches are nullified greatly.
Stage 3: Beyond the prior form, is where the internal damage begins to creep upon him. At this point his muscle mass cannot be further greatened then where it is stationed at, although his strength rises along with the durability of his outer tissue, a partial metallic visage enveloped his entire frame as his flesh takes on the appearance of polished steel, and retains a redish glint to it. He no longer contests with blunt objects in a series of hardened responses, as his body shifts into a more temporary shell. Sharper assaults during this, can be confronted such as knives, small arm bullets, shrapnel etc. Along with being able to lift an approximate amount of 2,000Ibs in total.
Stage 4: His braced skin would significantly lessen as he transitioned over to a charred black color, his flesh becoming more loosened and malleable in comparison. Any form of blunt attack would bounce from off of his rippling tissue, and sharper endeavors would also be found wanting. This usually isn't on the assailant's part, rather the impact or kinetic energy established was stored into his body. He can take a considerable amount of beatings before he has to release the contained assaults, in this event he returns the impact of which his opponent had dealt to him in greater response, mainly in one concentrated blow. This demands excessive endurance though and while he does absorb the shock, the pressure from his muscle mass along with the attacks still effect the internal necessities afterwards.
Notice: He hasn't gone beyond other then what's been listed above, however should he decide to do so. This is the result.
Point-Break: Relentlessly pushing his abilities integrity is immensely harmful to not only what's inside of him, but his outer appearance in parallel. Through forcible measures, his entirety begins to convulse in violent strokes, flakes of skin peel off him and his own flesh revolts in a grotesque display. Casing of bones emerges in masses, formulating in what is depicted as a exo-skeleton, and slits of muscle fibers are seen behind the enmasse of matter concealing him. After a brief show, the released exterior would take on a metallic coverage and his upper chest could seen to have erected two pairs of fully grown arms, below his initial ones. These can be severed with enough force, but gradually begin to regenerate after a period of stasis. In this ordeal, his pupils become dilated and generally bloodshot, along with his strength rising incrementally, allowing him to lift more then 8,000Ibs. Although numerous things happen when he reaches this threshold; to put it in a broad term, he loses the tiny control he had on his genetic power and suffers mutations.
Other notable traits:
Chi: With this technique he can gain some awareness of the opponents next attack, via acknowledgement of prior elements such as, breath, eye movement and body motion. Though he has yet to master this, and is sloppy when attempting such.
Martial Arts: In some sense he's well in-depth in a category of this fighting style, he's managed to lay a foundation due to his early training in Kung Fu and has since improved on certain aspects of his execution.

Personality:
While his surroundings may be harsh, and overall unforgiving at times. To him life can be cured by simply shrugging off the unnecessary worries that people harbor, seeking out ways to assist those in need is what he lives strictly by and encouraging others to help themselves through practical means. Now he may sound like some self-help guru, but he thrives off witnessing those who have been cruelly dismissed by others find their footing again. He's generally an approachable person, and has respect for those who put themselves on the line for righteous causes.

Backstory:
Born on the seventh day of December, he was raised into a religious family of four and grew up not far from a couple of buddhist shrines. When he was seven or so, his father would take his siblings and mother on road trips, visiting certain erected grounds as they paid their respects to the monks inhabiting. He has fond memories of often meditating with a few of the keepers, and being taught different aspects of their beliefs, along with being granted to attend training session with small schools of children relatively his age group. These continue to be something he reminisces on time to time, and played a major part in his childhood. As a couple of years went by, he entered his adolescents in which he discovered his ability to manipulate his body, this was a semi-traumatizing experience as he didn't really know what was going on nor could he find out. Eventually he was taken to a hospital, and was put through a myriad of tests, each were concentrated on how it functioned and what was the cause. Three weeks passed before he was given results, though even when the professionals attempted at conveying the information, it was all word-vomit to his ears and served little purpose. Not fully understanding the spectrum on this new found oddity, began to strive to potentially establish a grasp over it, and continued to do so over the span of his early and mid teenage period. His father was a full-time fire service man, his career took a large majority of his time and although he wished for more leeway, his job was considerably demanding. His mother owned a moderate diner, in which he helped maintain and provide staff , being a waiter often brought a hint of social confrontation in which he was comfortable at. When he became at least fifteen years of age, he received a call from his older brother, notifying him of a particular accident involving their father, he said he had gotten severely injured in one of his encounters with an apartment complex burning. He hastly drove a couple of his siblings, mainly his mother to the hospitable where he was being kept under life support remaining unconscious, and sat in the same room with the rest of his family in anxious waiting. The arrival of the doctor who was looking over him, didn't bring any joy to the less unfortunate family to witness his state, and were told of some bleak news, that his father couldn't re-awaken from his coma and several vital organs sustained heavy injury so there was little they could do in terms of revitalizing him. This devastated him, not only did he look up towards this person, but he was slowly dying on a bed across from his seating. A few years passed by from that moment, they already scheduled the burial and went through with it, he decided to keep moving on in life as to not further sway his path, believing it's what his lost parent would have wanted for him and decided to join the Highschool for Empowered, seeing great potential for him there, and continues to run his elderly mother's diner.
Relationship Status/Crush:
He currently doesn't have an intimate partner.
Any other information?:
Though he doesn't have full ownership nor the papers to legally say he does, locked in a storage unit somewhere across his uncles living quarters is his father's old 1967 Ford Mustang in which he rides in at night.
