<div style="text-indent:40px;">With nothing left tying him down, Sasha made his way across country to the United States consulate in Moscow. Since Sasha suspected that the Russian government might be somehow involved in his abduction he tried to keep as low a profile as a man with giant metal arms possibly could, which meant that stories of everything from a rogue robot to frankenstein's monster tearing across the night time countryside quickly spread. More than once Sasha was accosted by police and once by military forces. Each time Sasha refused to go quietly, but likewise refused to harm anyone, using only the minimum force required to escape. Eventually, he found his way to the U.S. consulate. There he successfully petitioned both the U.S. and UNTIL for asylum. After a small political bruhahah, the fledgeling cyborg was eventually extracted from Russia and brought to the United States, specifically Millenium City, which was already known to be a hot bed of superbeing activity. Sasha took some time to acclimate to his new home, taking courses in english and working with the UNTIL researchers to learn more about what exactly had been done to him. His arms turned out to be phenomenally strong, along with the reinforcements to his spine and legs. The arms worked on a combination of hydraulics and chains, causing them to clank loudly when applying their full strength. Internally, the machines connected to his vitals converted his vital essence into hydrualic fluid and lubricant for his machine parts. The pain remained a constant companion, and the internal filters that supported his machinery prevented most drugs from having any lasting effect or providing much relief. Sasha made the effort to learn basic meditative techniques from some of the more cerebral members of the staff at UNTIL while he was with them, to help compartmentalize the pain and allow him to function more or less normally.</div><br> | <div style="text-indent:40px;">With nothing left tying him down, Sasha made his way across country to the United States consulate in Moscow.

+ | <div style="text-indent:40px;"> Recently Gauntlet has broken away from the construction firm that had employed him for several years and opened up his own construction company. Bringing several of the workers from his old company with him, he now specializes in serving the metahuman community, providing construction and remodeling work for those being that mainstream firms are prone to balk at working with. Human, alien, mutant, Sasha does not discriminate. His crew can handle any job short of large scale buildings, and are discrete in their dealings, making them ideally suited to base construction or working in unusual environments. They will work in any location, from deserts to swamps, from space to Valhalla, Gauntlet prides himself on being able to provide service to any good-natured metahuman who needs it, for a reasonable fee. | ||

Powers, Skills, and Attributes
Powers
Mechanically Augmented Strength - Gauntlet's strength is incredible considering the crude construction of his mechanical arms. He has been rated at a maximum of 100 ton lifting capacity before his arms and their supporting structures began to fail. His legs are also much stronger than that of a normal human, but much less so than the arms in terms of raw power. Nontheless he is able to propel himself through the air and across the ground at impressive speeds, if not with a great deal of grace.
Endurance and Pain Resistance - While Gauntlet remains mostly flesh and blood and vulnerable to cuts, burns, and bullets, his experiences and sheer mental fortitude render him extremely resistant to the immediate effects of such wounds. Thus Gauntlet can ignore the distraction and debilitating effects of all but the most grievous wounds, at least long enough to finish the fight, assuming blood loss or some such doesnt overtake him first.
Resistance to toxins and disease - The interal devices which support the heavy mechanisms of his arms also serve as a set of supercharged filters. The result is that Gauntlet is mostly unaffected by most toxins, drugs, and infections. This makes most beneficial medicines largely ineffective. It also makes the consumption of alcohol or any other recreational drug an exercise in futility and frustration.
Skills
Professional Construction Worker - Gauntlet has been in the construction business for years. He has a working knowledge of basic architecture, carpentry, welding, riveting, roofing, framing, and a myriad of other applicable skills to supplement his obvious value of a heavy lifter.
Ameteur Chef - Gauntlet has a natural talent for cooking, and since coming to Millenium City has prided himself on picking recipes up from all over the city and adding them to his repertoire. He enjoys entertaining guests and cooking for his friends.
Combat Training - Since his modifications, Gauntlet has sought out training in several different martial arts. While by no means a master in any sense, he has studied traditional wrestling, tae kwon do, and judo as a means of bettering his ability to function in a fight.
Gear and Equipment
Gear
Weapon - Gauntlet does not normally carry any kind of weapon into battle, as his massive metal arms normally suffice. In a pinch he may rely on the environment around him, borrowing nearby objects to hurl should a ranged weapon be necessary, or if touching his opponent would prove more hazardous than the alternative.
Armor - Gaunlet only wears armor when he expects to he heading into a dangerous situation. His arms are capable of withstanding immense punishment, and so any armor he wears serves only to shield his vitals from harm, as they are not reinforced like his arms, spine, and legs.
Gadget - Gauntlet has access to a small detachable jet pack which he uses when working along the upper stories of a construction site, or when travelling through difficult terrain. Otherwise his only other carried equipment consists of a large multitool, which he keeps on hand for emergency repairs to his prosthetics.
Relationships
Lover
It's been confirmed that Gauntlet and Vivienne Xen'Thalas are dating, and are frequently seen together at Club Caprice.
Friends/Allies
Put any friends or allies your character may have in here. You may give them descriptions or simply list them. To make a numbered list, simply place a # at the beginning of each new line:
- Pack Rat - A human-rat hyrbid and munitions specialist. Former roommate.
- Bestla - A giant-blooded winter shaman. Friend and ally.
- Sajit - A lycanthrope shaman. Loosely associated through Pack Rat.
Enemies
- The Mysterious Mechanist - More of a description than any real title, the man that took Gauntlet's life from his has been spotted in Millenium City. What this means for the cybernetic superman has yet to be revealed.
