I am very interested with the whole powers system. This CS will be a tough nut to crack since I don't usually do RPs based on the real world. Anyway, expect a CS from me soon
Power: Jackson is able to create "teleportation Fields" these fields act like an invisible doorway, these fields can be as big as Jackson wishes, from as small as a bullet to as big as a truck, these have many capabilities ranging from dodging attacks to things like grabbing a beer from fridge. Though while using these fields inertia and G-force still apply to anything going through them. These are pretty much like portals but instead of the folding effect it's more like a tunnel effect, this means that the fields are not instant, though much MUCH faster than going by any actual travel. the time it would take to get from bejing to chicago using these fields would be about 40 minutes.
Cost of powers use:
The longer these fields are active the more damage it does to his body, though the size does count for how long he can have them open, for example he could keep a field the size of a 9mm bullet open for about 6 minutes before the headache and dizziness set in, though this power isn't really one that Jackson plans to have open for more than a second, but the size does matter too, making bigger or opening it for longer than he can handle is like pulling a muscle in his brain, which leads to sweating,fatigue, headaches,dizziness,nausea,Bleeding of the nose,temporary vision loss. Though When ever Jackson were to use the ability the after effects seemed to lesson if he were to bleed, the deeper the cut the longer and bigger he can make the fields.
Appearance: Jack is about six feet four inches with short brown hair and dark green eyes, his usually tanned white skin complements his straight whitened teeth. When not on a job he is usually wearing something business casual, a button up shirt with a tie and suit vest with some black dress shoes. Though he has a very expansive Wardrobe, usually changing it to blend in or stand out, whatever he needs to do. He has a brand on the inside of his arm of a circle with four edges coming off it, one diagonally to the North East, one pointing to west one to the south and North West, looking like a "retarded Ninja Star" as Jack would put it.
Jackson has more than a couple skills at his disposal, growing up in a mixed home he was constantly exposed to Portuguese culture and the Spanish language that followed, giving him a little more than enough to get by. And because of his line of work he has worked hard to try and perfect things like pick pocketing, forgery,hot to hide something on your person. And well, with two whole years under his belt he can safely say that he isn't the best, pick pocketing is easy enough, though he isn't perfect and don't even think about forgery, he can barley write his own name. Hiding things on yourself is pretty much commonsense though he can't anything too big, the biggest he's hidden on him was a bag of chips he snack into a movie theater.
Other than those more Utilitious skills he has a few offensive ones, having taken a few courses in small fire arms handling he knows he way around a GLOCK-19 to a satisfying Degree, though he has never shot at another human being before he is a mass murderer of practice targets, he also is taking wing Chun classes, though he has just started he can certainly give any common street punk or Rent-A-cop a run for their money.
Other Misc skills that Jackson has obtained is the ability to be good with people, he was always a 'social butterfly' and he uses it to his advantage.
Personality:
Jackson is a very sociable person, someone nobody would have a problem starting a conversation with, usually very charitable with a Robin Hood like attitude towards most things, though of course he can get overly greedy and tends to think about himself more than others, he doesn't see what he does as a bad thing, just a way to make ends meet, and even though he has a very outlined moral code the one exception is his work, anything that happens for a job to be done HAD to be done, though he has never encountered anything that would make him stay up at night. This causes him to act over confidently when discussing or taking on Jobs, despite his obvious beginners luck. When not acting around people and a Job is finished he is a caring individual, being empathetic to people on the street, volunteering at almost anything to do with Cancer, though half of this is to remain a good Samaritan in the laws eyes, staying off of any watch lists by giving back to the people.
He isn't without his huge flaws though, despite being slightly narcissistic he is more than a tad reckless, seeing the world as his playground and him the big kid on the jungle gym. Though he isn't crazy, he does know when to flee and hide, though he will try and work out and re plan everything short of a gunshot or a siren.
History:
Jackson Cristen Beltree was born in Chicago in nineteen-ninety living in a lower end of Chicago he lived with his Father, his mother Alexandra was sent to a local prison when he was 6 for multiple accounts of grand theft auto and breaking and entering. She got four years and when she got out his father Sebastian left her, taking Jack with him. It was a regular after that, his father moved in with his mother, who owned a house on Gold coast. The first time he stole something though, was when he was fifteen, he and friends wanted some snacks so they loaded their bags full at a local dollar store. A few dollar store heists, it never escalated until one of his friends asked him to get another friends PlayStation. They were never caught And it got worse from there, though he didn't start doing it 'Professionally' until he was twenty-four his first heist was a jewelry store, narrowly making his escape after a silent alarm had been triggered.
This heist though, was a little more complicated, he was to be a waiter, at this expensive Gala where their was this silent Auction. Usually this wouldn't attract his clients' eyes but there was a few items, mostly artwork, but there was this, Vase a very old vase that made those pieces of art look mediocre, the plan was to grab it from a back room they were storing it in before the auction was brought to anyone's attention, replacing it with a fake, not one so good that you couldn't notice it when you stared at it but one just for display purposes. The heist went off without a hitch,and Jackson made BANK. The money that was sent to his account made everything else he had done look like mere pennies, (though that's because he would make only a few thousand per Job). And right now he is living it up in one a very nice looking Condo. But nothing is the same. He just feels like something's wrong, Like when you eat a bad piece of chicken.
I always feel like an absolute asshole after writing Nate's posts. Sorry @Xandrya and @Rawk, you're stuck in a car with a fucking maniac behind the wheel.
In other news, I'm going on a pokemon hunt with some friends today (Yes, I'm one of those people.) so if you don't hear from me for while, I probably chased a Pikachu into traffic and I'm likely lying in a hospital bed somewhere.

Well, that is part of RPing, jumping into a role that would essentially be nothing like your own. So well done I say.
...And, I'm pretty sure we are all "maniacs" in the same car, just slightly different ways of showing it.

And yes, I already assumed you were ;)
Enjoy your hunt, and don't forget to look up from your screen occasionally.
Anyway, @AcerRo, I was wondering if we could have a time skip to midnight or 1 AM when the team got to Harlan. Unless @Subject Zero and @Rawk oppose this for some reason.
