Powers & Abilities

Waxillium is a Twinborn, a Skimmer and a Coinshot. The combination of these abilities in a single person is know as a Crasher.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content

As a Coinshot, Wax uses this ability to form a bubble around himself that doesn't effect his own metal items, but pushes bullets coming at him off course slightly. He also uses this ability to enhance the velocity of his bullets, pushing them after being shot to force them through an opponents cover. He uses this ability to travel along rails, in combination with his Skimmer ability, Wax can safely travel upwards without risk of a dangerous fall by negating his weight. Wax doesn't appear to use the most obvious ability of a Coinshot very often, as he had to be reminded that he could launch a bullet without a gun.

As a Skimmer, Wax can store his weight at the cost of being lighter than normal, and tap the storage to become heavier. Wax constantly stores his weight to make him a about a 3rd of his normal weight, making him lighter on his feet. He also uses this ability to navigate vertically in combination with steelpushing and a shotgun. Wax doesn't tap in to his weight very often, preferring to store it to be lighter, as a result, the sheer amount of weight he can tap in to allows him to quite easily fall straight through a floor with no effort.

Wax is a talented marksman, preferring to use two guns at once. He has been shown to shoot a bullet that was put off course by the speed bubble of a Slider, scoring a lethal shot as a result.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content However, due to a traumatic misfire that resulted in the death of a loved one, Wax developed a nervousness when facing a hostage situation.

Wax also practices basic metallurgy as a hobby and is shown to be a talented investigator.
