[N.O.V.A. Profile]

Name |Jessica Beadle
Alias | Lightning Bug
Age |22
Gender |Female
Appearance |Jessica Beadle appears to be a nondescript, brown haired young woman at first glance. Sh has a round face with some freckles, brown eyes, and a wide smile. Standing at 5'6", she has an athletic build and is most often seen wearing graphic tee-shirts and brown cargo pants.

In her Lightning Bug persona, she has put together a coherent costume, which many vigilantes have been unable to do. She wears an orange hood with a vertical black stripe down the center, a long brown coat, a black shirt, and neon green cargo pants. She is commonly seen wearing a set of homemade goggles, as well as heavy combat boots.

Notoriety |Wanted.

Variant Type/Danger Level | Jessica Beadle is a difficult Variant to classify, as her abilities have manifested in several different ways. She crosses lines between Volatile/Mentalist/Agile, as well as fitting into Classes 1/3/4. For this reason, and her highly unpredictable nature, Jessica Beadle has been classified as a Red level threat.

Abilities |

--Electrokinesis: Lightning Bug's body constantly creates a high-powered static field. She is able to manipulate this power to manifest purple bolts of electrical energy from her hands, firing them at a range of about 15 feet or using them up close and personal. She is able to control the level of shock, from as small enough to simply charge a device such as an iPod up to being able to short out someone's heart. She is also able to manipulate electricity in the environment around her, though to a lesser degree of control.

--Short Range Teleportation: Lightning Bug has manifested an ability to instantly transport herself and any inanimate object she can hold to any spot within her line of sight. She disappears in a bright spark of purple energy and reappears in a similar manner at her chosen destination. Currently she is able to teleport about a dozen times before needing to pause and rest for a few hours.

--Technopathy: Lightning Bug is able to project her will onto computer systems and technology, making it simple for her to access things she shouldn't or bypass security systems.

--Telescopic Goggles: The green goggles Lightning Bug wears have a built in telescoping system, allowing for her to more clearly see distant points she might be able to teleport to. These further jumps wear her out more quickly, but have provided a way out of a few tight situations. These goggles also have built in night vision and infrared sights, as well as the ability to tag and track targets.

--Hoverboard: Utilizing proprietary technology, Jessie has built a working hoverboard that allows her to fly. It can carry her at upwards of 100 mph on the ground, with the upper limits of free-air flight as yet untested. The hoverboard contains a series of electromagnets that are tied to her boots, allowing for her to lock herself into place, as well as an emergency freefall failsafe, allowing the board to carry her safely to the ground in vase of dire emergencies.

Armament/Equipment |

--Drones: Jessie has created a small army of drones and robots, each programmed with a rudimentary AI and its own personality. They are detailed below.

-Leigh: A medium-sized purple drone with a single large eye-like sensor. She heads the delivery system for Jessie, and is responsible for mapping and leading the heavy labor drones. She is very businesslike and often has to reign in Phil and Rodriguez.
-Phil: A large red and orange drone with various grabbing attachments. Phil is responsible for the heavy lifting of delivery along with Rodriguez, and the two are often found bickering. Phil is certainly the 'dumbest' of the AIs, being the first programmed and put to use.
-Rodriguez: A large silver drone with various grabbing attachments. Rodriguez is responsible for the heavy lifting of delivery along with Phil, and the two are often found bickering. Rodriguez seems to have inherited Jessie's "I'm the most important" attitude, and believes himself to be her greatest invention.
-Farnsworth: A custom-built robot with thick telescopic lenses, Farnsworth is Jessie's mechanic, taking care of general maintenance and lab work. Farnsworth is often exasperated with the antics of the delivery team, but has an unbridled optimism which he exuberantly displays at any given chance.
-Hermes: Hermes is only tangentially related to the rest of the AIs, lacking a physical body himself. He runs the 'accouonting' side of Jessie's various businesses, cooking her books and coordinating money laundering and other schemes. Hermes is a no-nonsense type, a bureaucrat through and through.
-John: A multi-armed medical drone, John is responsible for all medical care and treatment in Jessie's line of work. He had very little in the way of bedside manner, and is often quite awkward.
-Amy: A modular drone with a flexible AI, Amy is responsible for any overflow work from any other drones. She is excitable and exuberant, especially when she is given a new task to perform.
-Stabby: An old Roomba with a simple AI, Stabby is the janitor. He deals with the plumbing and heating units mainly, and Jessie has taped a butterknife to him.

[Temperament & Lifestyle]
Affiliation | Wonderland Bar
Alignment |Narcissist
Personality/Habits |Lightning Bug delights in causing chaos. While she rarely wants to see any of her potential victims get hurt, she finds that causing panic and confusion is a fantastic tool to help her reach her goals. Lightning Bug is quick and efficient in her schemes, and attempts to plan ahead, often laying the groundwork for a job weeks in advance. In the moment however, she allows herself to cut loose, improving speeches, one-liners, displays of power, and the like; so long as it doesn't interfere with her plans as a whole. She has been called deranged due to the fact that she wears a big smirk during all of her jobs, but truth be told it's simply because that is when she feels in her element, and most like herself.

As Jessica Beadle, she is comfortable with her place in the world. She often spends every free moment in her workshop or computer lab, building and designing new technology. Whenever she unveils something new, or makes a big breakthough is when she is at her happiest.

Jessie also spends a lot of time and money on the Variant rights causes, campaigning to block registration acts and providing aid to needy Variants. Though this appears altruistic on the surface, the truth is that Jessie is simply trying to create a world in which she will not be persecuted, and this seems to be the easiest way.

Occupation/Trade |Black Market tech dealer, thief.
Skills/Talents |

--Jessie is a master at computer technology, both hardware and software.

--Jessie is a master inventor, able to create nearly anything technological given enough time and resources.

--Jessie has built failsafes and blind spots into every piece of commissioned technology she has created, a series of countermeasure and failsafes designed to protect her in case those pieces were ever turned against them

Family |Girard Beadle (Alive), Lilly Beadle (Alive).
Background |Jessica Beadle was born to a family of old money living in the Vines. Her father had inherited his wealth from the family, and was determined to make even more money off of it. However, one bad investment after another sent the family into a spiral of throwing good money after bad, and by the time Jessie was 12 years old, the family was forced to sell their large house and many of their family heirlooms and move into a small neighborhood in Brigitte. Jessie never forgot living in the mansion she grew up in, the lavish parties her parents would throw, and the expensive lifestyle they once lived. Though even after the move she had a much better life than many other New Haven residents, Jessie quickly developed an attitude towards her parents and her new neighbors, believing all of this new life to be beneath her, and thinking that she deserved better.

Her chance came soon after her 13th birthday. After a traumatic event involving a home invasion, Jessie began to manifest Variant abilities. As her abilities grew, her parents became concerned at the wide variety of powers she showed, and took her to get registered. It was here that the sheltered rich girl first became aware of the idea of Variants operating outside the law. Immediately she knew what her path in life was. Vigilantism held no charm for her, she was interested only in helping herself. Being a supervillian, on the other hand...

Over the next several years, Jessie used her natural intelligence and her enhanced technological abilities to create a network of underground contacts. She began building her drones and technology in secret, always convincing her parents that it was 'school projects'. Finally, shortly before she turned 18, she found her chance. A N.O.V.A agent looking to get out, she needed a team to help her. Jessie volunteered, coordinating the technical side of things and shutting down security for the escape. While other members of the team did their part, Jessie ingrained herself with the refugee, Alice. Convincing the Variant operative that she needed to escape too, Jessie found herself whisked away from her parents home, now finding refuge in an apartment above the Wonderland Bar. She has retrofitted the apartment to include her workshop and computer lab, and now spends much of her day selling technology on the black market, or stealing from ATMs and planning bank heists.

@Korkoa
Stabby lmao

Jessie's great...one thing, though, with her powers she would be typed as Volatile/Distortionist/Mentalist (ooooo....first triple type)

Edit: Scratch that...I forgot I placed teleportation in the Agile category instead of Distortionist

Notoriety | employed
Variant Type/Danger Level | Amplifier/green
Abilities |
Clue Finder: James' power allows him to pick up on the smallest details of an object or area around him and thus aiding him in detective work. This can range from noticing tiny scratches on wood to seeing the flaws in the design of an image. This power is sight based and because of its nature James has a hard time focusing on one task when his eyes are drawn to so many details in his surroundings. This can cause him to become distracted and makes him multitask. It also makes being in large crowds disorientating and forces him to concentrate on keeping his senses from wandering.

Attire |

costume [+]

Armament/Equipment | He has two nightsticks, a taser and a standard police handgun, a pair of police handcuffs and law enforcement shotgun.

[Temperament & Lifestyle]
Affiliation | New Haven PD
Alignment | Peacekeeper
Personality/Habits | James has a large sense of duty to keep order in the city by solving cases. He has eyes for a mystery and solving a case. James tries to approach situations from a rational and logical perspective instead of an emotional one. He believes that law enforcement should focus on practicality and rational solutions instead of emotional and sentimental ones.

Many have called him apathetic, but he doesn't call refer to himself in that way and just views that statement as something people call him from a place of emotion. James believes that Variants should use their powers to the best of their abilities to make their lives better without turning to crime.

James also prefers local law enforcement and his very suspicious of federal government agencies.
Occupation/Trade | Detective
Skills/Talents | expert boxer and brawler. sharp shooter and excellent detective skills.
Family | he has both his parents as well as a brother and a sister.
Background | James was born in New Haven in the Ville Rouge district, to a upper middle class family. His father was a doctor and his work kept the family's wealth in good shape. His father was good man who viewed his job a noble cause and loved helping people. James however never had any interest in the career of a doctor, no he always preferred things like detective work. When he was a little he read lots of detective stories and watched many detective movies. His favorite birthday present was when his parents bought him an expensive detective's kit with all of the tools needed to try and hone detective skills of his own.

When James had started high school he developed an interest in philosophy as well as become an avid reader of the Sherlock Holmes novels. It was around this time that his Variant ability activated and he discovered that his ability to pick up on very minor details had become inhuman and he quickly put this good use helping him solve cases as a Private Investigator and had great success.

When he went to collage he studied in philosophy as well as forensics and criminal psychology. In his study of philosophy James developed a strong belief in individualism mixed with an equally strong belief in logic and rationalism. Once he was out of college he went through the process of becoming a detective for the New Haven Police Department.

Some in the department thought that it would be a good idea to have a variant be a part of the police force as a sign of good faith with the variant population in the city. Once he became a real detective James saw himself helping solve many cases throughout the city, some even jokingly called him 'the world's greatest detective'

Even as a member of the New Haven police department James still chose to take an alias and used the name Atlas when dealing criminals.

Alright fucker
