Candidate for deletionThis page has been nominated for removal from the wiki.Remember to check what links here and the page history before deletion.
Mercury the Antiproton, simply known as Mercury, used to be apart of the United States military and is 34 years old. Mercury serves as the first Antagonist in Augustine's After Story and utilizes the power of magnetism to be a fearsome force, being unable to be harmed naturally.

## Background

Mercury has no known background, other than the fact that he used to be a Master Sergeant in the United States military.

## Powers and Abilities

**Polarity:** Mercury's entire body is split up in very small intervals with eachother, in such a way that renders him invulnerable to damage naturally, as his entire body will "split" up, avoiding a body or swing of a melee, before reconnecting. Mercury's body can also trap a melee into himself if he so desires, by ending the split early. Due to this reaction being completely controlled by Mercury, he can decide when not to split, being able to harm or interact with another object without splitting in half.

**Combat Awareness:** Mercury has the ability to be fully aware of his situation and the environment around him, being able to properly guess where an enemy is at any given time, making surprise attacks or ambushes barely able to affect him.

**Technilogical Ingenious:** Mercury has the ability to create his own robotic army with the same, unique ability as his own and much more.

**Elemental Immunity:** Mercury has shown multiple times that he isn't affected by fire or ice, having shown no reaction from being completely engulfed in flames and is seemingly completely immune to freezation. Mercury's magnets seem to be unable to be displaced by strong winds, somehow being able be unmoved by great forces like tornados. Mercury's Body Magnets also can't be displaced by other magnetic forces.

**Extreme Strength & Durability:** Self explanitory.

## Equipment

**Customized M16:** Mercury's second weapon of choice, when he's not in close quarters combat, will commonly use his M16 rifle, with the only modification being a reflex sight. However, usually he prefers to use his fists.

**Handheld** **GAU-8/A Avenger:** Mercury has rarely wielded a handheld GAU-8, a autocanon commonly found on-board of the A-10 Thunderbolt II. However, Mercury has modified the GAU-8 to be held with two hands and fired. So far, Mercury is the only one that can wield the GAU-8 as it is so heavy.
