Powers: Through some strange Arabian mystic power, he has the ability to see far into the future, but too far for the information retained to be relevant, and so the information retained is only that of future pop culture. Additionally, he can shapeshift, but only into one-armed versions of people, animals, and objects that he sees in his visions of the far future, which may be useful, but most of the time, he does for comedic purposes.

Equipment: As far as weaponry goes, he has a massive steam grappling hook where his right arm is supposed to be since his arm was already missing and there was no way for him to shapeshift his arm back into place. Might as well make his stump useful for the team.

Skills: In addition to his powers of shapeshifting, Genie has learned to become proficient with his massive grappling hook-arm, not only for fighting but for climbing, and is surprisingly agile and energetic for his age and weight.

Bio: Born in the lowest of slums to a beggar-woman somewhere in Arabia, Ja'en never knew his father, and only knew his mother until she was taken away from him by the emperor's soldiers when he was only 7 years old. Despite being born with one arm, it was since then he had learned how to evade the authorities and survive out in the deepest recesses of the city. He stole to survive, sometimes food, sometimes valuables to sell for food, until one day when he was 11, he stole a whole sack of shiny looking objects. Having his one good hand occupied by the weight of the sack, he was left vulnerable to being mugged by thugs, and they stole the sack, but accidentally dropped a dusty old lamp that was within the collection. Since there was nothing left, he decided that he might as well take the lamp, and as he rubbed it to remove the dust, it began to glow blue, and a mystical energy flowed out of the lamp and into him. It was then that he passed out. He woke up in a prison cell, where he realised that the person he stole the valuables from must have informed the authorities and they captured him while he was unconscious. Having nothing better to do, he decided to give up, and began living out his sentence. That is until the visions occurred. He began seeing the future, and started blabbing on to his fellow inmates about things like "Breaking Bad" and "The Avengers". Of course, he became outcast since they thought he was stark raving mad. A year into his sentence, Ja'en discovered that he could actually transform into what he saw in his visions, albeit one-armed versions of them. As such, he was able to disguise himself into a one-armed pigeon and escape the hellhole, despite being unable to fly due to having only one wing and all. Since then, he had been stowing away on ships and taking up the Moniker of "Genie", based on a cartoon character in the future that he believed he had much in common with.

Extra: Because of his constant exposure to future pop culture, the accent that he has been most exposed to has kind of stuck on him. (American)

I hope this is alright!
