Garret Brennar is the superhero Citadel, a manipulator of electromagnetic phenomena. His deep fascination for technology and invention allowed him to develop a powered exoskeleton capable of channeling his innate abilities. He became active as a registered superhero after aiding against the Quillar invasion, though since then he had largely worked alone.

Profile
Garret was born to an average American family in one of the suburbs of Detroit, having lived an ordinary life up until the age of twelve. When they went on a trip to the west coast, an accident took place that left Garret trapped in the middle of the ocean as his family struggled to recover him. It was theorized that due to the high stress levels, a mutation was triggered following a near-death experience with a school of sharks. When he was found and recovered he was unconscious, and rushed immediately to the nearest hospital. Over the course of the next few months, he had begun undergoing changes to both his physical appearance and his genetic makeup. After six months in the hospital he was fully mutated into that of a fully-anthropomorphic shark-human hybrid. Despite the obvious changes to his biological structure, this incident would not grant him his powers; however, he would discover soon after being release from the hospital that he was more athletic than an average human being, with his ability to swim being near metahuman levels. Other than this, Garret lived a normal life despite the changes - as metahumans and mutants were common, particularly around Detroit.
Heroic Origins
While Garret had no superhuman traits, his innate ability to learn, understand, and recall information with ease garnered him a lot of attention throughout his youth, which had helped him gain entrance into the Millennium City Institute of Technology at the age of sixteen. From there he began to pursue a degree in an area he had always been fascinated by -- advanced robotics and cybernetics. He had earned his bachelor's degree in three and a half years and quickly began to work on his master's.
He was asked by a group of peers to take part in an electromagnetism experiment, with the goal of such to develop a self-sufficient clean energy source. Something in the experiment had gone awry, with the mechanism exploding with Garret in the same room. He was knocked into a coma for the better part of a year. During this period it was discovered that he had gained the ability to harness the electrical energy around him, which he had unconsciously made use of to short out the equipment keeping him alive on a frequent basis. Following his recovery he remained isolated until he could figure out what to do, and using his expertise in robotics and cybernetics, began to construct a multi-purpose, small-frame powered exoskeleton -- which he had dubbed the TITAN project.
It took him almost a year to complete construction of the suit, during which he remained isolated but took the odd-job of tech support around the city in order to keep funds flowing. After the suit was completed, he had adopted the alias of Citadel and jumped into his career of hero-work, starting with the Quilar Invasion in Millennium City.
Traits
Qualities
Personality
- Always Up for a Good First Impression -- He tries not to make too much of a blunder of himself when first meeting a new person. A lot of people throughout his college life had appreciated this quality of him.
- Confident -- He's brash, he's flirty -- basically, just overly confident. Of course, this may be a fault of his as he can easily be distracted by the simpler things that he feels he's good at.
- Outgoing -- Garret has been making strides since graduating from his Master's program to be a little more proactive in social activity, frequenting clubs and bars around Millennium City in hopes to achieve such. However, despite his confidence, he is still somewhat shy and nervous around very large crowds, and the other sex.
- Determined -- When his mind is set, he follows it. Despite the TITAN being put-off from completion for the last few months of his graduate program, he was still able to complete it. Despite his dream to work on the TITAN, he was still able to acquire his Master's Degree.
Strengths, Advantages, and Abilities
- Electromagnetic Manipulation/Superconduction -- As a result of the electromagnetism experiment failing and knocking him into a coma from the resulting explosion, Garret is able to harness nearby electrical energies and, indeed, conduct these same energies through his own body. With direct and concentrated focus he is able to direct electrical currents outward.
- Expansive Intelligence -- Garret accumulates and recalls information at an inhuman rate, building on to the already-growing repository of knowledge accumulated with, and since, his birth. He was able to talk, and form simple yet coherent sentences six months into his infancy (following reanimation from cryogenesis). Not long after, he was able to walk normally (as if he were an older adolescent rather than an infant). Garret uses this trait towards helping him fine-tune his exoskeleton.
- Inhuman Athleticism -- Not many would be able to see it on their first meeting with Garret, but he is able to run faster and jump higher/farther than normal human beings (though not enough to be considered "superhuman"). Many speculate that it is a result of his mutation.
- Flight -- Garret is able to manipulate the energy around him in order to achieve flight.
Weaknesses
- Unstable Superconductor -- Garret has need to wear his protective nano-polymer suit at all times, powering its active camouflage system directly through his own energy output. However, without the suit he is unable to properly conduct and control his electromagnetism, which would cause local electronics to fail or explode within a twenty-five meter radius. This is balanced by needing to wear at least one article of his nano-polymer suit -- usually, the gloves -- in order to store his energy.
- Small Frame -- The suit amplifies his strength, but when he's not wearing it Garret has a much weaker body frame, and therefore is not able to take part in physical combat without the aid of the TITAN -- and if he does, he risks the possibility of near-certain death.
- "Not the gills!" -- A downside to being a shark-anthro is having the physical qualities of a shark, and that includes its weaknesses. As such, Garret is easily stunned when punched in his gills. Thankfully for him, his armor covers and protects his entire neck. It would take an EXTREMELY PRECISE attack to hit against his neck with enough force that it slams against the gills through the armor.
- Distracted -- Garret admits to being distracted almost all of the time. This doesn't bode well, most of all, in a combat-heavy setting where his distractions can often cause him to lose focus of the issue at-hand, and get he or his teammates hurt.
- "I Only have a Master's Degree!" -- Garret considers himself brilliant and highly intelligent, so when there is a question that he does not know the answer to, he blames the fact that he only finished school with a Master's Degree instead of a Doctorate for his lack of knowledge.
The Gear
To assist with the conduction of his electromagnetic powers, Garret had begun the independent development of a suit capable of storing his innate energy, which he had dubbed the TITAN -- noting himself that the name was a work in progress. For all intents and purposes it was a powered exoskeleton with specially-made gauntlets capable of channeling Garret's energy into concentrated blasts. The suit itself is equipped over a thin and flexible nano-polymer that can also act as active camouflage, which can allow him to wear the suit at all times and only equip the armored components as needed. The suit worn over his civilian clothing is of particular note as it can act as a second line of defense with its reactive nano-fibers, allowing for the impression of impenetrability and invulnerability as an innate power -- though this has limits, as the reactive shielding can wear off after an intense barrage of kinetic energy or high-caliber ammunition. This, however, does not make him immune to physical blows of superhuman strength as the armor is thin enough to be almost skin-tight. The drawback to his entire armor system is that he is not able to carry the entirety of the suit at all times, lacking a portable option to equip his powered gauntlets, and armored chest plate when it's needed.
Though he is able to achieve flight through his own abilities, his boots are able to render assistance with additional control when reaching sub-sonic speeds.

Miscellaneous
RP Hooks
- Garret has done medium-wage tech-support for a wide variety of heroes, some even before they took up the vigilante call, around Millennium City. If yours is a tech character and has lived in Millennium for the past ten years, you might have hired Garret and you might recognize him if you choose to do so.
- He attended the Millennium City Institute of Technology for a total of six years. If your character has attended this college, it's very likely that they've come across Garret at least once or twice.
Other Notes
- Not very many people would know as this never circulated past its original source, but Garret entertained the idea of a modeling career -- told early on during college that his "exotic appearance" would be a welcome addition to the growing list of superheroes that have provided their likenesses in modeling shoots. One day after assuming the identity of Citadel, Garret took the offer up and provided a centerfold-style pin-up to the magazine Heroes Unmasked which became a very brief hit with the furry community at the time (but never made viral status, to which Garret has been thankful for).
Garret's Soundtrack to Life
Immediate Music - Surrender to Hope -- There's nothing quite like blasting away your enemies and punching their faces in while listening to probably one of the most moving and engaging epic pieces trailer music studios can provide.
Immediate Music - With an Iron Fist -- This is the music he pictures playing whenever he's called to fight against an insanely difficult enemy that so many other heroes have tried to fight, and is suiting up in his armor just for the ocassion.
Immediate Music - Def Con - The music that would be playing when Garret is fighting.
Charayana - Liberation - Garret's a big fan of Trance. Who knew?
