**Metal Piece** is a male object student that is seen in the *Virtually Gifted* cartoon series. He's a young metallic boy who plays on The Disliked team as he adorkably takes the wacky and messed up course that is VR's Virtually Gifted honors program. It's unknown about how much actual purpose he'd have in the story that will unfold, but he might make some kind of mark as time passes.

## Appearance

Metal Piece's name seems to be pretty obvious in nature, as he is a small and jagged bit of metal that is grey and white colored. He's one of the few armless people that are seen in the narrative at hand here. Given his small size, he looks pretty small and cute, and his limbs and face are drawn at a smaller scale for obvious reasons.

Metal Piece is usually seen smiling like the right, and he tends to do funny poses that make him look cute to the audience. Isn't that great? Absolutely. Wait, no? Screw you then!

## Personality

Metal Piece is a student known to be somewhat spoiled, whiny and childish on the most base principle. His gentle and fragile mother, Iron Bar, is pretty much obligated to constantly look out for him because he acts somewhat idiotic and gets into trouble and danger easily due to a lack of awareness of the world around him. His mother is not seen in the series because she was scrapped as a character, but she does get mentioned several times.

Metal Piece is extremely sensitive, and happens to cry a lot, and usually haplessly begs for Iron Bar to come and help him out when things get too tough for him to handle, painting the boy as a sensitive baby that's to be cared for and looked after, rather than a competent teenager. This coding makes mild sense, as the boy is coded to be around ten years old. Because of his high amount of vulnerability, Metal Piece is usually depicted as hated and looked down on by a semi considerable portion of people in the show because of these dependent and needy qualities ruining his functionality in the contests, but he does have his friends to back him up when things go dark.

Metal Piece, however, does possess a kinder side in him and does really care about things around him, as he might stand up to someone who bullies him or a teammate of his, showing the kid to be morally upstanding and caring. Overall, while Metal Piece appears to be a pretty annoying child who ruins things for others on first glance, this metal chunk does have a bit of a heart and charm to him when one decides to look deeper into his character.

## Abilities

* **Sturdiness:** Being metal, he's not that easy to kill compared to most people.
* **Spiky Body:** Holding him would hurt whoever touches him, so he naturally has body armor. One would have to grab the right spots to avoid getting hurt when carrying him.
* **Spitting Spikeballs:** Metal Piece can "barf" bits of metal lodged in side of him as a weak attack. This can knock people back a little bit and can even stun.
* **Speed and Flexibility:** Due to his small size, he can get into small spaces and is very fast when running.
