Out of the suit, Tony is usually dressed in either a tailored Armani suit for business or a casual armani exchange ensemble when at leisure.
Tony has many sets of armored suits though most of them have a gold/red or silver/red colour scheme.
Tony's most notable trait is the arc reactor in the middle of his chest. The mini arc reactor powers a magnetic chest plate that keeps shrapnel from reaching his heart and killing him.
Character Background
(adapted from Wikipedia and the Iron Man movie series)

Anthony Edward Stark, the son of wealthy industrialist and head of Stark Industries, Howard Stark, and Maria Stark, is born on Long Island. A boy genius, he enters MIT at the age of 15 to study electrical engineering and later receives Master's degrees in electrical engineering and physics. After his parents are killed in a car accident, he inherits his father's company.

Tony continues his father's work of producing weapons and other military related technology until one day he is injured and captured by terrorist organisation "The Ten Rings" . The ten rings order Stark to build weapons for them, but Stark's injuries are dire and shrapnel is moving towards his heart.

His fellow prisoner, Ho Yinsen, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist whose work Stark had greatly admired during college, aids Stark in constructing a mini arc reactor and magnetic chest plate to keep the shrapnel from reaching Stark's heart, keeping him alive.

Under the guise of building weapons, Stark and Yinsen use the workshop to design and construct a suit of powered armor, which Stark uses to escape. But during the escape attempt, Yinsen sacrifices his life to save Stark's by distracting the enemy as Stark prepared the armor.

Upon returning home, Stark resolved to stop making weapons and things that harm others. His decision was met with much criticism from the board of directors of Stark Industries. Later on, Stark's research revealed that his own company had been supplying weapons to various terrorist and not just the US Military.

Enraged, Stark redesigned his powered armor and used it to disable all the illegally distributed weapons from Stark Industries, as well as take out the ten rings organisation. Stark Industries was also repurposed to fund and perform research on technologies that are meant to help and heal rather than hurt and harm.

Stark's armor suit antics drew the attention of SHIELD who recruited him into the Avengers Initiative. Ever since then, Stark has served as a consultant to SHIELD on various technologies as well as a member of the Avengers.
Personality
Stark is often described as mischievous and in many ways, a big kid. He doesn't take well to authority and sometimes comes off as arrogant. Under the Billionaire playboy image, Stark is a kind and determined soul, loyal to those he respects and a dependable ally when things get tough.
Aspirations
To do what he can to make the world a better place.
Medium of Means
Armor Suit, Luxury Car or HotRod.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
