Explanation: Being a person of a new age of technology he was never one to boast strength and as such has very low physical strength other then what is needed to complete simple tasks. This being such large guns do not fit him as he can literally not lift them. He tried out many new inventions as they were created in the world making him efficient in most new tech forms, but he simply holds the knowledge to use such tools as jet-packs and climbing tools, he does not actually carry such tools around with him.

Armor: Metallic Defenses
Items: Magical Items, Large Items (Shields, Etc.)
Explanation: He is well versed in technology, but his skill in magic is quite limited as he has never been trained in their use limiting his use of magic weapons to things he can understand such as magic guns that can be used by trigger. He can not use most non-gun and non-explosive weaponry as he has no training in it and they are usually quite heavy again falling into a limit of use because of his lacking physical strength and lack of experience. Same reasoning falls for large items and metallic armors.

Background:
A simple man born in the woods of this world, a woods with no name as its population was small was well spread. He lived rarely ever going out to towns and such as normal necessities could be found in the forest with ease as berries and lumber grew with great haste and flourished. Though being a man of exploration he soon found him self fascinated with all the wonderful things in the towns he visited ever so occasionally and began to practice his own engineering with tinkering. Even at the early age of five he was working away to make simple water pumps and sewage drains. This quickly went advanced to electrical systems and steam powered equipment with only a few years. His talents hidden away in the forest were never really appreciated as most around him thought it was silly and had no interest in his inventions. At the age of twelve after dealing with the carefree attitudes towards technology that surrendered him for seven years of his engineering life he ran off in a huff in search of great minds such as his.

Within a year he found the Society of Engineers that welcomed him with open arms and soon made him own of their own. He then spent eight years of his life simply enjoying the company of these great engineers learning all he could, but even still his heart longed for his home and when he had depleted the library of recipes or theories to read he quickly hasted off back to where he originated in search of his family. This took longer then expected though as eight years leaves a big hole in ones directional memory as much can change. This journey took him a whole two years to complete.

Though once he found his old home he was drought with pain as the whole area had been corrupted by a foul environment, the ground crusted red of a blood rusting color and the trees withered in pain. The houses that had once stood now burnt to the ground with only a stone formation to show where they had once been. Filled with overwhelming sadness he quickly retreated from the unwelcoming mysterious environment in search of a place he could call home. Where he could start anew.

I like the format.  Simple, vibrant, but not blinding.  I also see a few similar sections to mine... I'm sure it's coincidental.  Anyhow, I like it so far... *mumbles to self*
