Basic InformationNameπ Jack O'Connell
Hero Nameπ Psion
Ageπ 17
Genderπ Cis Male
Ethnicityπ Irish
Nationalityπ Ireland
Detailed Information
Appearanceπ Fairly thin, with broad shoulders and a small amount of muscle. He has shoulder-length hair which is stark white and floats as though underwater when he uses his powers. His eyes are also bright purple, but aside from that he looks like an ordinary guy.
Hero Appearanceπ The suit is white with purple accents, it's made of a light but sturdy material that functions as basic combat armour. On each forearm is a small purple orb which glows brightly when Jack uses his psionics, and the suit features no mask.
Personalityπ He's a smart kid, quiet but kind. He enjoys video games, rpgs and board games in his spare time, though he spends much of his time meditating to retain control of his powers. He has no trouble standing up to villains and criminals, yet he struggles with confrontation in daily life. He can be something of a pushover when he's not in the suit, honestly.
Notable Relationsπ His parents have been very supportive and keep in touch with regular video calls. He's regularly quoted as saying how great his mum is.
Everyday Skillsπ board games, tabletop rpgs, poker (he's a little too good at poker, though. People get suspicious.) and Tai Chi
CombatFighting Styleπ Primarily a ranged fighter, although his powers can be quite effective at augmenting himself in melee when needed. He's most effective when it comes to dodging blows and using his powers to disrupt his opponent.
Strengthsπ Very agile, can use psionics offensively and defensively
Weaknessesπ physically weak, without his powers he struggles to lift a heavy backpack, let alone an opponent
Equipmentπ His suit contains a device known as a "Psi-Amp", which boosts what he is able to do with his powers whilst worn (without it he is limited to minor telekinesis and basic energy fields, but suited up he could lift a bus with his thoughts, levitate himself and even use telepathy to target a weak-willed opponent's mind)
Power
Strengthsπ Jack is able to manipulate psionic energy, which is a unique energy substance created by sentient minds. Typically he can only utilise his own psionic energy for reasions explained later. With it he can move or manipulate objects, create shields or energy attacks, and even communicate telepathically (though this is very difficult to do, and is almost always better to simply speak out loud).
Weaknesses/Limitationsπ Well first of all, though his mind produces psionic energy it cannot do so infinitely. If he uses his energy to create a shield, big enough for himself and 2 civilians to stand behind for example, this shield will last at most a few seconds, and is by no means indestructible. The more energy he puts into the shield (also, the more damage it takes), the more difficult it is to maintain. So while he can quite easily hold a book or a glass of water in midair for long periods of time without even really thinking about it, lifting heavier objects (or heavens forbid, living creatures that actively try to move against him) will be challenging to maintain for more than a few seconds. It is especially difficult to do these larger tasks if he doesn't have access to a Psi-Amp (like the one in his suit), and without that he would be unable to lift something heavier than a TV for more than 30 seconds or so. Without a Psi-Amp, he couldn't lift a car or similar large object at all.
As mentioned above, telepathy and the like is very difficult. While manipulating psionic energy itself or using it to control an object comes somewhat naturally, the psionic energy created by one mind is very different from the energy created by another. Linking two minds is a herculean task which requires an intense amount of control on Jack's part. The danger of attempting such a task is often that if not controlled properly, one or both minds may become overwhelmed by the energy which can cause things like hallucinations, spikes in blood pressure and even unconsciousness. It can be used as a weapon in some instances (the ability to make your opponent panic or fall unconscious is usually a benefit in a fight), but the unpredictability of mind-to-mind psionics makes it far too dangerous in most cases.
Though it rarely happens any more, if Jack does lose control over his psionics, his powers can be wildly unpredictable. If he is especially exhausted (such as once when he stayed awake for 57 hours straight during a particularly hectic mission), or his emotional state becomes erratic his control over the psionic energy his mind produces can waver, which invariably leads to catastrophic damage as the psionic energy goes wild. For this reason, he is unable to consume most mind-altering substances (not only hallucinogens or illegal drugs, but alcohol and even caffeine can impact his ability to control his powers).
Cosmeticsπ As mentioned in his appearance, his hair is white and his eyes purple. Originally his hair and his eyes were brown, but the day his powers manifested they changed permanently. All of his hair is white, even his eyebrows and body hair.
Extraπ When he manipulates psionic energy it glows a bright, light purple, the same colour as his eyes. Also I do not know who made the artwork I put in the appearances section, I tried to find out but could not. It was not mine, but I couldn't find another picture that fitted what I was going for.
