"One thing that livin' in America taught me is that you gotta treat everyone with a smile, mane...."▼ A P P E A R A N C E:"Heh, wanna take a picture?"//STATS:◼ Height | 5'6"◼ Weight | 156 lbs◼ Build | Athletic◼ Ethnicity | Haitian◼ Hair Color | Black◼ Eye Color | Brown
//DESCRIPTION:Francis sure as hell isn't the most intimidating man in the world. While he would be more scary if he wasn't so short that women stand equally to him, he mostly presents himself as a friendly person. He's always smiling, and seemingly always has a good mood. He has a friendly aura that disarms all but the most hardy of people. He carries himself with such a carefree attitude that it's impossible to feel intimidated by the man (Unless you're really racist). Francis takes short choppy steps whenever he moves, and usually keeps his hands deep inside of his pockets. His speech is quick, and usually has a playful, child-like feel to it, and he speaks with a thick foreign accent. Sometimes it's hard to understand him because of his speed, and accent.
As stated before, Francis isn't very tall. He's about one inch above the female average, and that is because of rather unfortunate genes. Where Francis is short, he makes up for it in build. He has the build of a runner, because that was one of his activities in highschool. He also makes an effort to bulk up in his spare time by hitting the gym, and jogging. Picking up free running is what helps. His legs are easily the most well-toned part of his body, having the calfs of a basketball player, and some really bulky thighs. His arms aren't as muscular, but you can tell he's been lifting. He doesn't have washboard abs, but he has been doing sit-ups. He looks like the type that can run like the literal wind.
Francis is a proud Haitian by blood. Born in raised in the country, Francis' skin is a very dark color from being out in the sun for most of his life. His features are pretty consistent with those descendant from African. Not even taking account his skin-color, his facial features, and hair texture, are pretty in line for African people. Speaking of his hair, he keeps it in thick, bushy dreadlocks.▼ B I O G R A P H Y:"Not everything gotta' end in tragedy."Francis was a boy born in Haiti in the summer of 97'. He was born to one of the few families of the poor country that could e considered "middle class." Being people who worked in the tourism sector, they had enough money to put food on the table for each and every one of Francis' older brothers and sisters (His siblings being Claudette, Edward, and Jean). Francis took an interest in playing soccer with the older kids growing up, but he was never old enough to play with them. So, he merely practiced all on his own.
Though, life for Francis changed during the eventful month of January 2010... the month where the Haiti earthquake took place. While rumbling and shaking took place all over the city, Francis was nearly crushed by a piece of rubble... but managed to save himself when he manifested an "armor" of some sort. A lilac armor that shielded Francis from certain death. It disappeared later... but, he realized that something was wrong with him. Once the young Jean-Pierre got to safety, his family revealed to him that they are a line of Hyperhumans specializing in mental abilities. His shell was a manifestation of his willpower and passion to guard him from danger.
After the Haiti Earthquake blew over... there wasn't much for the Jean-Pierre family to do because their house and jobs were all destroyed in the earthquake. They were fortune enough to have enough money and time to migrate to America. It was a culture shock, to say the least, because Francis' only experiences with Americans were the tourists. They arrived in a town called Crestwood Hollow... a city that Francis thought was out of a horror movie. Before they opened up a Caribbean-style restaurant called "Jean-Pierre Seafood!"
Since he was around highschool age when this happened, Francis was enrolled into the The Mather Memorial High School. While his grades were nothing special, his athletic ability was what got him a name. He first joined the
school's basketball team, and eventually made a name for himself on the tracks. His seemingly endless supply of energy is what turned him into a blur on the field. And on the side, Francis picked up parkour.▼ A B I L I T I E S / S K I L L S:"Get behind me, friends, I'll protect you!"//ABILITIES:◼ Psychic-Shell. | Francis can project a mental "armor" of some sort that is powered by his willpower, intelligence, and emotions. This armor covers him from head to toe in an opaque layer that is a lilac color. This shell is normally featureless, as it's smooth. Though, it appears to have a helmet of some sort with a trident at his crown. This Shell grants Francis a great deal of durability, because he can shrug off hand to hand blows, and small firearms. It also grants him enough strength to lift 500lb, which is enough to give someone a bad day. However, there is only so much it can take before it breaks. As Francis grows as a person, the shell will get even stronger, and allow him to preform even greater feats. Also, the shell gives Francis a defense against psychics. So, while it's active, any telepaths will have a harder time getting to his secrets!
//SKILLS:◼ Sports | Francis was always one for sports. It's almost like he was naturally talented in the field. Throw a basketball at Francis and he'll catch it, and dunk that bitch. Even if a soccer ball just lazily rolls in his direction, he'll kick it like a cannonball. He hasn't even tried other sports, but he'll be pretty good at them.
◼ Running/Parkour | His main claim to fame. Francis is like a literal lightning bolt on the trackfield... but, he's always second-best to the taller runners with longer legs. Nonetheless, he can run like a bullet, and his speed and coordination are nothing to laugh at.
◼ Cooking | While cooking was never Francis' strong-suit, he takes a job at his parents seafood restaurant, and knows how to cook some food. He ain't a masterchef, but he is good enough.
◼ Multilingual | Living in Haiti for a chunk of his life means Francis has to be good at Haitian Creole - or Haitian French. He managed to use it as a gateway to learn regular French... and it's hell because he mixes up the two variations. And since he isn't a native English speaker, speaking English counts as a skill for him.
//LIMITATIONS:◼ Willpower | The Psychic-Shell is connected to Francis' willpower and emotions. If he's feeling particularly demotivated, then the shell will weaken to the point where he can't preform the usual feats.
◼ Exertion | Whenever Francis does a particularly great feat - say tanking a super strong punch, or punching through a wall - the shell will give out for a few moments. Leaving him vulnerable as it regenerates.
◼ Time Limit | Francis can't keep the shell up for too long, because the shell will begin to wear down on his psyche. Eventually causing painful headaches, and various generic side effects such as nosebleeds. If he pushes himself further from this point, he'll suffer what'll effectively be a stroke.
//WEAKNESSES:◼ Weakpoint | While the shell is incredibly durable, there is a weakpoint in his back that manifests as a glowing orb. A strike here will cause the shell to disappear for a few moments until Francis manifests it again.

@tyler @roman HAHA moments when I'm actually thankful of being American. Unlike Europeans, we don't hate our neighbors. They hate us.
<Snipped quote by Tyler>
There are a lot of French in this game so far. Including Belle. As an avid hater of France (it's full of French people) I'm not sure how I feel about this.
@Mr Allen J Oooops, haha kinda skimmed your sheet for the power. Assumed your character was french since someone else posted ._. Well, Haitians probably hate Americans too????
