Character Info
Profile
Colborn is a young Eternal (only 1500-ish), yet has all of the basic abilities Eternals possess. Power Cosmic, Low-End Psionics. He is also a skilled melee combatant and metalworker who makes all of his own weapons and armor. He is capable of augmenting the tensile strength and durability of most metals beyond their normal level.

Personality
Alienated:
As a young Eternal, he is a loner from the far ancient ones of his own kind. His skill set is seen as something archaic and not of interest, and he is far too old to be a figure amongst humanity. So he is of one world that cares little for him and another she is far too removed from to fit in.
Distant:
As an Eternal craftsman, Colborn is mostly focused upon his work. He spends little time socializing or interacting with other beings unless he has to. Other people make him uncomfortable, and they take time away that he could spend on forging. So he is emotionally distant and isolated, and does not interact readily or naturally, and will often be introverted and stiff. He does not make friends easily nor does he go out of his way to encounter more people.
Focused:
Colborn has a tendency, like all good craftspeople, to focus on the task at hand. When he is working on a problem, working metal or whatnot, he tends to focus and -lose- focus on everything else. Tunnel Vision.
Honor:
He is like the metals he works with and forges. Repetitive, dutiful, obedient. When he has given his word and his loyalty, he keeps them as best he can. But in turn this can lead to him being stagnant, difficult to compromise with, and unwilling to adapt. He will stay within his comfort zone of existence most of the time rather than expand it if left to his own choices.
Character Sheet
Powers
Flight:
Colborn is capable of unassisted flight through his innate telekinesis. He can top out around 500 mph with this for short bursts. He has exceptional maneuverability but poor acceleration. Colborn's maximum lift is around 1000kg and his airspeed and acceleration drops significantly with extra weight.
Invulnerability:
Colborn's body is difficult to injure. He is superhumanly durable, and capable of ignoring most conventional small arms and blades. He is not however, capable of ignoring the sort of advanced weaponry that the world has developed in recent times. He has learned in the past few decades that humans have built weapons that can actually hurt him. So he has even more respect for their warriors than he did back in the day.
Molecular Conversion:
Colborn specializes in taking normal metals and significantly improving their various metallurgical properties. Over a period of hours or even days, he can refine meteal into new alloys that are harder, stronger, more flexible or with better thermal resistance. Refining something to the level of adamantium is a significant investment of time and energy that would take weeks or months of work to achieve. His typical products are melee weapons and are considered the finest weapons available in the communities of Titanos or New Genesis.
New God Physiology:
As one of the New Gods, Colborn's body is the apotheosis of human evolution. His physical traits are on par with the magical Godlings, with increased strength, durability, immunity to most toxins and diseases, and high resistance to natural extremes of heat and cold. Colborn can endure immenses atmospheric pressure and the vacuum of space. For limited durations he can use the Power Cosmic in lieu of biological needs like food, water, or air.
Power Cosmic:
All Eternals have the ability to channel cosmic energy/ionic radiation through their bodies and use it to perform a variety of tasks in limited duration. It empowers their telekinesis and telepathy, as well as physical traits like increased strength, durability, and regeneration. Colborn also can discharge powerful beams of heat, light and force projected from his hands. At maximum effort, these beams burn at 1650C and impact with ~1.8 bar of force over a blast radius of around 5m. With concentration, fine control of this power can scale it down significantly.
Superhuman Strength:
Due to the cosmic energy infusing his body, and his total control over that body, Colborn is quite strong. He is capable of lifting up to 25 tons without pushing himself beyond his limits. He has never really made a regular practice of charging his body to get stronger, but that is something he would be capable of doing in theory (He could push his limits for plot or story requirements if it fit the plot runner's ideal.)
Telekinesis:
Colborn has an innate capability for telekinesis. He can lift around 2000lbs, with a range of around 20m. He can target either a dozen or so objects of varying mass, or an area of around 1 cubic meter.
Skills
Athletic:
Given his nature, Colborn is a natural athlete. Even despite his superhuman physique, he takes good care of himself, is nimble, acrobatic, and lithe.
Combat Training:
Colborn has had literally centuries of experience in combat. He is very skilled at the use of almost any melee weapon from swords to hammers and clubs and staves. It even applies to unarmed combat and pretty much any form of combat that does not involve modern weaponry such as firearms of energy weapons. He does have -some- experience with those types of weapons, but even with less experience, he would still have a passable level of expertise. After all, Eternals are a high tech society.
History:
Having lived through a lot of the world's history, Colborn has accumulated a lot of knowledge of things that happened. He has recorded those histories in his own memories. While he does not have an encyclopedia of all history in his brain, he has specific information. A lot of that has to do with the American revolution and American history up to the early 1900's. As well as Viking culture and history, and that of feudal Japan.
Metalworking:
Colborn has had centuries to improve his skill at working metal with his hands. While most times he uses his ability to manipulate molecular structures to help work the materials that he uses. Though his mundane level of skill is still astounding given his breadth of experience.
Outdoorsman:
For centuries, Colborn lived off the land, and wandered from land to land. He became very good at following tracks, hunting, identifying safe plants to eat, and all of those good skills that help in the outdoors situation.
Resources
Armory:
Colborn has a rather extensive collection of weapons and armor that he has fabricated over the years. All of the gear that he uses is augmented to be far more durable than the normal steel materials used in the modern world. His weapons could survive being used by some of the strongest individuals without breaking, and his armor can soak up and incredible amount of damage. Sadly, no material that he has been able to work with can fully absorb the concussive impacts of attacks. So while the armor may hold against a powerful attacker, the wearer of that armor will still feel much of the force transmitted. But any damage suffered would be far less than without the armor.
Mother Box:
A Mother Box is a sentient entity, a virtual intelligence secured in a crystalline computer. Each 'personality' is unique and bonds to only one living creature in its lifetime. The Mother Box follows the user's commands to the best of it's ability, and is capable of multiple functions. Colborn keeps his motherbox distributed across his person disguised as small tools and a well-made wristwatch.
Boom Tube: The Mother Box is capable of opening Boom Tubes, stable interdimensional wormholes that permit travel across Yggdrasil's realms and into alternate dimensions. These portals are generated with a loud 'boom' sound and emit energy across multiple wavelengths, making them detectable, but nearly impossible to trace once the tube has closed.
Translation: The Mother Box can translate the words of the user for any language in its database. It also offers low-level assistance with telepathic communications.
Storage: The Mother Box houses a small dimensional pocket in her systems, allowing the use of quick access to storage space. Weapons, armaments, and provisions can be stored in the mother box's space. Typically a Celestial 'Flight Disk' is kept here as well.
Energy Storage: The Mother box can store ambient ionic radiation and deliver it to the user for a short burst of cosmic power to enhance their abilities beyond their normal limits, even if empowered by their own cosmic energy.
Self-Repair: In the event that the Mother Box becomes damaged, the technology can restore herself to maximum functionality, which can be assisted by positive emotions of the holder, such as love and hope.'
Sjarnbrandr:
Name means: Star Blade. A weapon made of old school methods, cosmic molecular manipulation, and Celestial / Eternal level technology. Filaments in the grip channel cosmic energy generated in the hand and focus down the same filaments that run down the fuller in the blade. This makes her blasts more potent than normal when focused through the sword. If power channeled into the blade, but not fired out of it the blade will be more powerful on its own. Somewhere between supersteel blade and lightsaber. For the record, the blade is transparent aside from the filaments but is as hard as the strongest alloys of steel ever produced.
Weaknesses
Emotionally Distant:
Colborn has seen people grow old and die while he stayed eternally young. He has learned to keep folks at arm's length emotionally. This could work against him in the long run as some people will not understand his reasoning, or will disagree with it. But it is an ironclad part of who he is. He does not -want- to care as much about some people as he knows she likely will.
Honor and Duty:
A part of Colborn's upbringing, and some things he learned out in the world, was to always keep his word, never use more force against a foe than is needed. Only try to kill those foes who are trying to kill him. And that there is no honor greater then doing his duty to her people. This is the guiding light of his existence and what keeps his on track.
Overconfidence:
It is not that Colborn thinks that he can do anything, handle any threat. It is that he tends to reflexively think of mortals as just -not- able to do as much as he can. For the most part, he is right but he respects their accomplishments. He has a kneejerk reaction of dismissing the threat level that mere mortals can offer him until and unless proved wrong (usually in a very inconvenient manner).
Reverse Anachronism:
Despite his love for old school smith-work, Colborn is used to a certain level of technological sophistication. Eternals tech level is quite beyond what the majority of Earth possesses. They have devices that can utilize their psionic or cosmic energy for a variety of effects. Being forced to work with existing Earth level human tech will frustrate and confuse him. It would be like someone who knows how to use an iPhone being stuck in the 19th century trying to figure out a telegraph system.
Subject To Orders:
As an Eternal, and one of the youngest ones on Earth, Colborn is beholden to the elders of her people. If they were to give him a direct order, he would have very little choice in the matter. His ironclad sense of duty would mean that he would have to do as he was told, even if it was to the detriment of a nominal ally.
