Name: Piotr (Peter) Rasputin
Alias/Codename: Colossus
Affiliations: Xmen
Age: 26
Weight/Height: 6'6" normal (7'4" transformed)/ 250 lbs (500lbs transformed)

Appearance:
Armored

Personality:
Piotr (Peter) is very much one of the most stereotypical "gentle giant's" the world has to offer anyone. Interacting with others is something that he does in a polite manner, as polite as can be done depending on the situation. Friendly, in a good mood and very thick skinned. His patience when it comes to dealing with people is naturally derived from spending so many years with his family. Generally, this means that Piotr (Peter) is likely to befriend anyone who is willing to be kind and polite. When he does interact with others, though, his thick accent is something that normally has a great effect on how things go.

It gives a lot of people the impression that he’s slow, or not as smart as the rest of the students, this couldn’t be further from the truth. He is actually a relatively intelligent young man, but doesn’t mind letting people think that they have an intellectual advantage. He is also somebody who doesn't stray from doing hard work, a trait that was instilled into him when he was younger and helping with farm work before joining the X-men. When it comes to the issue, mutants and normal humans, Piotr (Peter) would rather it not be an issue at all. He would rather be able to spend his life, peacefully, without having to use the powers that he has. That won't stop him from using them, however, and he is as fierce an opponent as he is a loyal friend and ally.

During his free time, Piotr (Peter) can be found enjoying himself, which includes food and the company of others. There is only one specific person that he enjoys seeing, and this is Kitty Pride. The reason is obvious to anyone who spends any amount of time around the two...

History:
Piotr Rasputin was born on the Soviet collective farm called the Ust-Ordynski Collective near Lake Baikal in Siberia. His superhuman powers emerged in adolescence. At first, Rasputin was content simply to use these powers to aid the other people of the Collective.

However, Rasputin was contacted by Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men, when Xavier was organizing a new team of mutant X-Men to help him rescue the original X-Men from the sentient island Krakoa. Rasputin agreed to leave the farm community in which he was born and raised to go to America with Xavier. Xavier gave Rasputin the code name "Colossus" and Rasputin aided Xavier's other new recruits in their battle against Krakoa. After the battle was won, most of the original X-Men left the team. Rasputin remained in the United States with the new X-Men, Storm, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, and Banshee, while the rest of his family stayed on the farm. During this time he encountered adversaries such as Proteus, Magneto, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the Brood, and the Juggernaut.

Rasputin's family always remained in his thoughts. Shortly thereafter a woman known as Miss Locke kidnapped many of the X-Men's loved ones to use as hostages in order to force the X-Men to aid her in freeing her employer, Arcade, from captivity by one of Doctor Doom's robots. Among her captives was Colossus's younger sister Illyana, whom Locke had somehow kidnapped from the Siberian collective farm and transported to the United States. The X-Men freed Illyana from captivity, and she went to live with her brother Piotr (known as Peter in America) at Xavier's mansion. Due to her later captivity in a dimension known as Limbo where she spent years while only mere moments elapsed on Earth, Illyana became the adolescent sorceress known as Magik.

During the Morlocks massacre at the hands of sinister´s marauders Colossus was injured by Riptide's shurikens and become unable to return to his human form. Riptide's shurikens caused energy leaks in Colossus' body without penetrating his armoured skin. Later along with the rest of the X-Men he fought the magical being known has the Adversary and was named dead although he and the X-Men were resurrected by Roma and given a new home and base in Australia becoming radar invisible. Later after the Inferno Crisis he and the rest of the X-Men returned to their base in Australia. After Storm´s " death" he along with Havok, Dazzler and Psylocke crossed the Perilous Siege and he found himself in New York but with no memories of his former life and became a famous artist and became involved in a relationship with the Morlock Callisto. later his memories returned and he once again became an X-Man. After Illyana was returned to her true Earth age, Colossus thought it would be better for Illyana if she went back to live with their parents. Sadly, her parents were slain and she was kidnapped by a mutant known as the Soul Skinner who hoped to genetically evolve Illyana to the point where she would have the use of her powers again. Colossus, with the help of the X-Men, saved Illyana and brought her back to the mansion.

Later, Illyana became the first tragic victim to be infected with the Legacy Virus and die from it. The deaths of his immediate family caused Colossus to rethink his position with the X-Men and join Magneto and his Acolytes, who had offered him an alternative to the X-Men's way of fighting and living.

His stay with Magneto was not long once he realized that Avalon was not the place for him, either. He left in search of the only person he felt truly cared for him, his former love and teammate Kitty Pryde, now a member of Excalibur. Colossus traveled to England, where he found Kitty in the arms of her new love, Pete Wisdom. Colossus, enraged, attacked Wisdom, and although the battle was short-lived, they both sustained minor injuries.

Colossus accepted Kitty's new life and chose to become a member of Excalibur. Once the team dissolved, Kitty, Colossus and Nightcrawler returned to the States and became active members of the X-Men.
Beast, one of his X-Men teammates, claimed to have found the cure for the Legacy Virus after consulting the late Moira MacTaggart's notes. However, it required a mutant to activate their powers, and the process would be fatal. Colossus agreed to use it despite Beast's warnings that it might not work. Colossus was successful, and the cure was spread worldwide, claiming his life in the process. Colossus' body was supposedly cremated, and Kitty scattered the ashes over his Russian farmland home; however, his body had secretly been stolen by Ord, an alien who had learned that an Earthly mutant would be responsible for destroying his world. Ord had come to Earth to declare war, but the spy agency S.W.O.R.D., a sub-division of S.H.I.E.L.D. handling extraterrestrial matters, was able to settle diplomatically with him. Ord had Colossus restored to life and imprisoned him for years while experimenting on him.

Ultimately, Ord discovered the Legacy Virus cure still in Colossus' system and presented his findings to Benetech geneticist Doctor Kavita Rao, who modified it to create a "cure" for the "mutant condition." Learning of the cure, the X-Men went to Benetech to investigate. There, Kitty found Colossus alive and, after overcoming her initial shock, took him to aid the X-Men against Ord. Defeated, Ord was taken into custody, and Colossus returned home with the X-Men to adjust to his new lease on life.

Currently Colossus has returned to the X-Men and his long love Shadowcat.

Current Residence: New York, New York

Powers:
Organic Steel Transformation: Colossus is a mutant with the superhuman ability to convert the tissue of his entire body into an organic steel-like substance. This substance resembling steel is of unknown composition but appears to be analogous to osmium and to carbon steel. He is able to transform into this armor-like state at will (the process is virtually instantaneous) and remain in that form for an as yet undetermined amount of time. (The longest time he has remained in armored form by choice so far has been five days). Once in his armored form he remains so until he consciously wills himself back to normal. If he is rendered unconscious, however, he spontaneously reverts to his normal form. While in the armored state, Colossus possesses the same degree of mobility that he does in his normal form. The conversion from flesh and bone to organic steel is accomplished by a psionic whole-brain interface with an ionic form of osmium, an extremely dense metal, located in another dimension. In willing the act of transformation, Colossus actually exchanges osmium atoms for his carbon atoms. The psionic interface with the other dimension re-creates all of Colossus's body in functionally similar organic ionic-osmium materials. The process by which Colossus gains additional mass from an unknown, perhaps extra-dimensional, force remains unknown. Colossus cannot become partially or selectively armored; his body is either entirely converted or not.

Superhuman Strength: After transforming into his armored state, Colossus possesses vast superhuman strength. As a teenager, he was sufficiently strong enough to lift about 70 tons. However, as a fully mature adult, his strength has increased, though the exact amount he can lift isn't clear. It is known that he is able to lift around one hundred tons. (Class 100)

Superhuman Stamina: Also, while in armored form, Colossus' musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins than the musculature of a normal human. At his peak, he can physically exert himself at peak capacity for several days before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.

Superhuman Durability: In his armored form Colossus is invulnerable to most forms of bodily harm. His armor is capable of withstanding ballistic penetration, including that of a 110 millimeter Howitzer shell. He can survive extremes of temperature from 70 degrees above absolute zero (-390 degrees Fahrenheit) to approximately 9000 degrees Fahrenheit. He could survive a collision with a loaded, one-ton flatbed truck at 100 miles per hour or an explosion of 450 pounds of TNT. Another thing that armored form grants him is an incredible resistance to magic. He can also survive falls from great heights while in his armored body. Colossus tends to jump at foes from a height creatng a shockwave when he lands, due to his armored form. He can go without food, water, or air for many days while transformed, though he would eventually require sustenance. (demigod)

Power Development: He can get stronger (class 100+), up to invulnerable in durability, and further increased stamina
Other skills: Skilled painter, college level education, skilled at grappling, wrestling
Equipment: Paints, brushes, canvas
Fighting style:
Colossus prefers to remain at close range, as this is the best way to take advantage of his strong points. In that way, the best way to sum up his method of fighting is to say that he does his best to overpower his opposition.

Since this is such a major character, it might be best to have Jekai give his stamp as well.
