[OOC] Baybridge: Halcyon Days [Superpowers/Semi-Sandbox]

[Spoopy Scary]

We'd write them as if it read like a book. You sort of just combine both of your writing.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

For this RP, is there a writing system for collaborated posts? For example, do we left-justify the head writer's character in said post, and all other characters to the right?

@Dioxide

@Spoopy Scary

One time, some people who made a collab went out of their way to try separating their writing (like every single change in pov required a reminder of which person was writing). It ended up looking so forced and artificial that I ended up skipping it.

@Mr Allen J

I'll be mindful of that then

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@Dioxide@Oliver Nice collab, it's a start.

I'm working on a collab now with Zomb for Wendy/Rowan's, and I should get off my ass and start the RAVEN collab. The rest of my characters aren't going to be interacting with people until the rally (which should start soon).

[Zombiedude101]

I'm working on my last CS and will try to get something posted by Tuesday, I'm with family at the weekend so don't get much of a chance to write.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

My schedule has finally cleared, so I can finally get off my ass and start doing stuff.

Jennifer Caspin

[27 | Jennifer Marissa Caspin | Female]

Description:
A person that tragedy seems to always follow.

Jennifer Caspin is a girl that seen it all. Starting in Verthaven, she was apart of the attack on the Fiends, and lost everything during the Verthaven Disaster. Seemingly killed by the Devil of Verthaven herself. For a few years, she renounced who she was, living under the alias of Missy Baroness. Before returning her "true" identity of Missy Baroness... just in time to learn the harsh truth of her return. That she was indeed killed, but resurrected as a part of a sick experiment by Julia O'Sullivan. After that woman's death, she realized that it was time to move on, and live by her own terms. Starting by finding her old employer Megan Jervious. Jennifer is an average heighted, and quite curvy, young woman whose maturity was completely stunted by her superpower. She still looks seventeen years old despite being well into her twenties. She has blonde hair usually kept in a ponytail, and bright-blue eyes. She is Caucasian with Scavandian roots dictating the outcome of her facial features. One of the strangest features on her body has got to be her spine... It's exposed to the world, and well prehensile like a monkey's tail. It's located a few inches above her waist, and is easily six feet long. This spine moves quite strangely, like it's a scorpion tail. She keeps these features covered up with clothing, usually a hoodie. She is a very close friend of Meifeng Zhao, Haruka Takashiro, and the other Verthaven survivors.

Power:
Bone, Blood, & Skin Manipulation, & High-Regeneration.
Jennifer has the ability to manipulate her body, basically. She has the ability to make bone of any shape grow out of her body, and act as a weapon. Usually a spear of some sort, but she's sometimes made a spear made out of bone. Jennifer can also control the bone of other people if she can get her prehensile spine to touch stripped bone. Jennifer can shape, and grow her skin, in addition to being able to alter texture, color, smoothness, density, sensitivity, etc. One trick she learned how to do is give herself "enhanced touch." Giving her the ability to sense vibrations through solids and liquids, and she can even sense air-pressure changes - at the cost of being extra sensitive to pain. Along with the ability to control her muscles, and whatnot. She can telekinetically control blood. Either her own, or blood that's been exposed to the air. She lacks the fancy tricks of her previous two abilities, but she can do stuff like force wounds to scab, or stop blood flow in parts of her body. Finally, Jennifer has an immense regenerative factor. She can heal from even the worst wounds within an hour, and any blow that doesn't go to the brain won't even stagger her. She, oddly enough, has a network of "backup organs" that activate whenever a primary organ fails. Which can keep her alive despite the odds.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

Alright, bitches, and bitches, and bitches, time to get to work.

The Valos Family

Jake Valos

[27 | Jake Daniels Valos | Male]

Description:
Jake is a prince in all definitions of the word. He's the second youngest son of Jason Valos, owner of several clubs and casinos all over the United States. Leaving him, his twin sister Gabriela, and their various siblings, in the hands of maids and butlers - with loads of money. Hilarity ensues. Jake is known from all over as an overall chill person - and is easily the most outgoing out of his siblings. He's very polite, and calm, treats everyone with respect. True to his family, Jake is a Brazilian boy. His light-brown skin tells much about his Spanish roots. He's thin, and has the build of a swimmer. Thin limbs without body fat or muscles. He certainly has a feminine vibe to his facial features. It might just be the glasses, though. His hair is a very black color, slicked back. Jake usually is seen wearing a suit, or any other fancy article of clothing. Usually he has an overcoat over it all. Jake is the one that keeps Johnny in line... mostly. He does end up giving into his siblings foolishness. Jake is the most focused on the mission to save their missing sisters.

Power:
Psuedo-Realistic Illusions.
Jake possesses a heightened form of illusion generation. Whether it's through training, or the basic form of his ability is the question he won't be answering any time soon. The illusory ability allows him to generate illusions in the real world, opposed to the minds of the people around him. Which means he straight up bypasses any form of mental resistance, and can appear in recordings. These illusions have the ability to take the properties of what they mimic, fooling people. They can mimic sense, taste, smell, and even sound, and can fool the mind into thinking that they are solid. Of course, this aspect of his ability can be resisted by cerebral Metahumans.

Gabriela Valos

[27 | Gabriela Mya Valos | Female]

Description:
Twin-Sister to Jake. Their features are pretty much the same (Brazilian heritage, brown skin, black hair, etc). Much rougher in appearance, creating such a contrast between them. Where Jake looks like a prince, Gabe looks like a biker. She stands at the average female height, and is quite curvy. Though, her skin is covered in burn scars. She looks like a bad burn victim. Though, she functions perfectly fine, despite those burns. She just keeps them covered up with her leather biker outfits. Though, there's no hiding her missing eye - hidden behind a large black eyepatch. There's three claw-point scars running down that eye - indicating that some beast clawed it out. Gabe keeps her hair styled in a pony-tail. Gabe certainly is an easily angered human being. She's always seen as aggravated, and quick to fight. Though, she's nice enough in normal situations.

Power:
Laser-Generation.
Gabe has the ability to absorb light from the environment around her in her cells, and weaponize it later. She can project the lasers as a deadly beam that moves at the speed of light that burns the air around her. She can control the size of the laser - the wider the beam, the larger the radius, but the smaller the beam, the more focused it becomes. It comes to the point where Gabe is considered to be an incredibly dangerous Metahuman. However, it is connected to her emotions... and if she gets angry, the beams will become more powerful, but unstable and hard to control. To the point where they explode in her face. You can guess where she got all those burnscars from.

Jaska Valos

[18 | Jaska Valos | Male]

Description:
An aberrant, an unknown scion that was added to the Valos family very recently, and still being introduced. There is something very wrong with this young boy from first glance. He looks bestial, almost demonic. Jaska is a young boy with light-caramel skin, a mixture of his Japanese, African and Brazilian roots. He's the tallest of the bunch at 6'7ft. Now, what makes Jaska so frightening is the manifestation of his powers in the form of physical alterations. A mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, jagged claws on his hands and feet, wings with a twelve foot wingspan, a thin devil-y tail with a blade at the end, three horns above his ears (that point backwards), a one foot long tongue, and pointy ears! Otherwise, he looks perfectly normal, even with a head of black hair. His personality also offsets his looks.

Power:
Apex-Predator & Inner-Beast.
Jaska's a beast, he promises more than teeth marks when he attacks. Obviously, the first part of Jaska's power is that he's been given physical alterations. Those alterations do exactly what you'd expect them to do (Idiot). However, Jaska's also been given enhancements in the following areas: strength (he could easily overpower a fully grown man), speed (On all fours, he's hard to catch), agility (he can pull off flips, and is quite flexible), senses (Hearing, smell, sight - though his hearing is the best), regeneration (He can bounce back from wounds quite well), and camouflage (He's the invisiblessed - but, no, really, he can make himself harder to see). At the cost of being quite frail in this state. On the other hand, if Jaska is mortally wounded (Or hears the phrase "Little Devil"), his inner-beast will activate. It's basically a giant, hulking form (That's one inch taller than Henry, and way cooler), and has strength (Can lift one ton) and durability (He can take physical blows fine, but blades, bullets and energy? Not so much) that matches it. This state lowers his speed by quite a few notches. He'll be a bit faster than the average running speed on all fours - otherwise, he's pretty slow. In this state, he'll rampage around until he's defeated, or runs out of energy - either way, Jaska will be out of it for awhile while he recovers. Oh yeah, before he begins the transformation, his wounds will quickly regenerate before his body focuses on the transformation (In the process, eliminating his regenerative factor for the duration).

Megan Jervious

[Unknown | Megan Emma Jervious | Female... most of the time]

Description:
A very odd and mysterious woman that shows up in places. Strange places. Her first documented appearance was working in Academy 218, but she has popped up all over the place. Her last known sighting was with the Hands of Science. Not a soul knows what she wants, or where she came from, but her objectives seem to be the most mysterious part of her. She appears only to Meta-humans, and often helps them in different ways. Otherwise she only speaks to them briefly. Anyone who encounters her quickly finds out about her rather juvenile personality. Extremely cheery, and almost sociopathic in attitude. Megan has one consistent appearance. A tall redhaired woman with freckles, dressing modestly, and having unmatched beauty. Megan was actually the one who leaked the information about the Hands of Science and Changeling Unit to the world, in an attempt to betray them. Since then, she has gone into hiding. Megan is accompanying her mother, Ada, to Baybridge for strange and unknown reasons. But, it's apparent that she knows a lot more than what she lets on.

Power:
Amorphous Shape-Shifting.
Megan's body is comprised of a vaguely organic substance that she can freely shape into anything imaginable. This substance is lightweight, self-repairing, and allows her to mimic the properties of anything she has encountered before. It's highly suspected that there's more to this ability.

Ada

[Centuries Old | Ada (Known as "The Verschlinger") | Female]

Description:
A revant of an era best forgotten. Ada was the scourge of the Secret Age of Metahumans, being responsible for many of their deaths, and playing a major part in many events during that era. She is the reason why the Changeling Unit was created, as she drove Luis mad. However, despite that, she has good intentions, and only wants to dedicate herself, and her power, towards building a much brighter future. Which is why she helps young Metahumans in her organization The Coven. Ada has taken many forms throughout the years, and Ada is just one identity of many. Ada's current form is a tall woman with German features, blonde hair, and blue eyes. She wears a black cloak that covers a majority of her features with a wide brimmed hat. Almost nobody in the current era has any idea who Ada is, and what she's doing.

Power:
Unknown, however, it was stated by many that Ada is the most powerful Metahuman on Earth. It is known that she at least has the ability to shapeshift better than her daughter, Megan.

The Liu Sisters

Lin Liu

Name:

Liu Lin

Age:

27

Description:

Daughter of a rich scientist and owner of a company known as the Liu Pharmaceutical Company, Lin Liu was the oldest among a group of three sisters (Four, since her father also fathered a bastard daughter). She had everything she ever needed, and more. A life of comfort that was unheard of. She was built up as the successor to Jiao-Long, but unfortunately, once Honghui came along, she was casted aside. That left a very bitter taste in her mouth. Lin is Chinese, and has a whitish skin with very heavy golden overtones. Her build is very thin and frail, and her hair is black, straight, and tied up into a bun. Her facial features are sharp, nearly avian. She is known to be the most beautiful out of the Liu sisters. She's usually seen wearing a dress of some sort.

Power:
Telepathic Shape-Shifting.

Lin has the power to read minds (Professor X style) and assume forms based off of those thoughts. You could be thinking about your mom and she could shapeshift into her, or you could be thinking about a person you saw the other night, and bam! She shapeshifted. She is capable of disobeying the laws of mass conservation to an extent, allowing her to assume the forms of people larger/smaller than her. Her telepathic abilities on their own aren't too shabby. She can read thoughts, send them, and open mental connections over a large range (Which she can expand with effort). She can also send sexy thoughts to people.

Mika Liu

Name:

Liu Mika

Age:

30

Description:

The much older (and much more judgmental) half-sister of Lin Liu. She was the result of big pappa Liu having one night stand with a secretary, and eventually she joined the family in their mansion. She's incredibly polite, but also extremely judgmental, arrogant, and haughty (She looks down on everyone). Mika, like her sisters, is Asian (Half-Chinese, and Half-Japanese, to be exact). She's somewhat chubby, and has a gut, due to a real lack of exercise and over indulging herself in sweets. Her facial features are diamond shaped, and sharp, and she has a pony-tail (her hair is black btw) that reaches her back. She's known to put a flower in it. Mika's attire is very modest, and schoolgirl-y.

Power:
Cerebral Power-Replication.

Mika has the power to copy and store Cerebral powers inside of her. Which she can switch between, but she can only use one at a time. At the moment, Mika only has Lin's telepathic abilities, and a telekinetic power that allows her to make shields.

[Zombiedude101]

Frank Marshall

Basic Information

Name:

Francis Terrence Marshall

Nickname/Alias/Etc:

Frank

Gender:

Male

Age:

28

Height:

5'11:

Weight:

172lbs

Home District:

Oakdell Harbour (In accommodation provided by DOVE)

Appearance

Hair Color:

Brown

Eye Color:

Hazel

Ethnicity:

Caucasian

Physical Appearance:

It's obvious that at 5'11, Francis is of a stockier build and if it weren't for the training and physical exhertion that he undergoes as part of his role in the MISW he'd probably have a little more fat on him. When the opportunity arises, Frank keeps his hair trimmed down to a number two haircut and is equally clean-shaven, tolerating little further than stubble along his jawline (though this is more due to the fact it itches if he lets it get any further).

Attire:

On account of the exchange program between DOVE and the MISW, Frank whilst on-duty wears the standard DOVE garb and carries, more or less, the same equipment as the others - albeit with a (non-metallic) telescopic baton fixated to his hip.

Whilst off-duty, Frank sticks to casual clothes while out on the town - he's brought from home several pairs of jeans, cargo trousers, shorts and tracksuit bottoms along with enough shirts and t-shirts to last him during the week. He also has a dark-blue zip-up hoodie which he sometimes wears on the colder days, too.

Personality

Innate & Outward Personality:

Outwardly, Frank conveys himself as a man who can be stubborn to a fault, rendering himself implacable in the face of adversity - as one might expect, for a Brit. When things turn rough, he cracks the occasional joke and will even render a morbid commentary on the matter (a habit picked up from the 'old' MISW days) but still persist in what he perceives as his duty. As far as others are concerned, his actions are done with the best intentions, aiming towards the right thing.

Inwardly, however, Frank is still coming to terms with the knowledge and awareness that the organisation that trained and shaped him for have served as a puppet for the Founding Family and is wrought with guilt at the knowledge that he was an unknowing participant in their schemes and had sought to atone. Self-doubt often plagues him and there are times where he'll question his own actions, even if he might outwardly stand by his convictions.

Despite this, he still feels a debt of sorts to the MISW (which helped him gain control over his ability and gave him place) and has taken it upon his own shoulders to try and assist in its reform - hoping perhaps that the visit to the US might assist in gaining an alternative perspective for this purpose.

Owing to the above, he despises the likes of the Founding Family and given the opportunity would gladly assist in bringing an end to anyone with similar goals or an affiliation to the world spanning cabal. Alternatively, he can be a loyal friend to those who earn his trust (and respect) and will go to great lengths to look out for them. It's just a matter of gaining the former.

On an additional note, a part of Frank's training with the MISW focused on the use of his ability to somewhat manipulative degrees and even after the reform of the organisation, he still finds himself reverting back to old habits, if only momentarily. Likewise, there are times where he'll find himself tempted to use a heavier-handed approach in accordance with the 'old' MISW's ever-suspicious modus operandi, even though he'll realise shortly after and feel guilt over it.

Hobbies/Interests:

Frank is a self-proclaimed conniseur of what he regards as good food. Part of his plans for his long-term stay in Baybridge is to take advantage of the relatively lower prices and varied tastes of American food.

Skills/Talents:

Several years of training and experience with the MISW have left Frank with a number of skills in terms of aptitude in the fiels. He's capable of using physical force to subdue and restrain unwilling opponents and he knows how to handle firearms, though his experience with the use of the latter in the field is another matter given the UK's strict attitude concerning firearms.

This aside, Frank has undergone the usual intelligence side of the MISW's training, including a study of metahumans and (legal) methods of interrogation, using his own ability to assist in the case of the latter.

Goals/Motivation

Trained and shaped by the MISW, Frank is still coming to terms with the knowledge that the organisation largely served as a puppet for the Founding Famly and is wrought with guilt at the knowledge that he was an unknowing participant in their schemes. More than anything, he wants to restore the good name of the organisation (and his country) and bring closure to himself by working alongside DOVE and RAVEN.

History/Bio:

Born at the edge of the last millenium, Frank spent the early years of his life as the son of two divorcee parents growing up in North Derbyshire, one with an appreciation for the simpler things in life - video games, TV series and browsing the recesses of the internet. Only, around the time of his fourteenth birthday, something birthday, something changed in him.

He found himself suffering from intense mood swings, where one moment he could be ecstatic and then the next he would feel intense rage and want to lash out at the nearest person, only to burst into laughter a few seconds later. This went about as well for him as one would expect - most thought he was suffering from a psychological disorder and indeed he found himself being sent on a number of visits to different professionals, all claiming that they would be able to help him and all failing, for the most part.

Medication proved ineffective and only seemed to worsen his mental outlook, to the point that he became reclusive - avoiding human contact seemed to be the only remedy for his troubles. This continued until after his sixteenth birthday, when during a visit to the shops after suffering yet another violent mood swing, he found his unexplainable rage quelled by the sight of other shoppers around him bursting into tears and lashing out at one another until the scene evolved into a riot. It was only after a later analysis of CCTV footage covering the riot that an agent of the MISW picked up on Frank's behaviour minutes before the riot and made the call to follow up their investigation with a visit to Frank's address.

Things cascaded from there - a brief interrogation and a swab test proved that Frank was, indeed, a Metahuman. A potentially disastrous ine at that - his ability allowed him to influence the emotions and mental states of others around him. As per the modus operandi of the organisation in those times, Frank was taken under the MISW's wing (the alternative was a collar and being kept under close surveillance) and, following several years of study at a school operated by the government with similar intentions as the academy program, he began training to become an agent, a process which again took several years to complete.

All in all, it was the MISW who helped Frank pull himself back together, leaving him feeling indebted towards the organisation and for years he worked under the impression that he was doing the right thing - that no matter how rough things could be, he was doing he right thing for the betterment of society.

This perception, however, was shattered following the revelation of the existence of the Founding Family and the scale of their involvement in the world's affairs, Britain and the MISW included. Frank was forced to question the values and code that he'd abided by during his time in the organisation, including circumstances in which he'd taken a heavier-handed response.

This, combined with the emergence of the so-called 'BASILISK' domestic terrorist organisation, shook the MISW to its core as British politics were reshaped around them. Facing new threats, and as a figure in favour of reform within the agency, Frank volunteered and was approved for a placement on a foreign exchange program with the United States with the intention of studying the methods and procedures of DOVE and RAVEN.

Relationships

Family:
Terrence Marshall (Father)

Frank's father, the two don't meet often owing to his work in the MISW but maintain a loose correspondence over the phone. Owing to certain similarities in their personalities, they often tend to clash when disagreeing on matters so this distance is for the best.

Sue Knight (Mother)

Frank's mother, working for the MISW has meant the two don't meet often but he does keep in touch on a more regular basis than with his father and, before being taken in by the organisation, the two were quite close.

Dynamics:

TBD.

Abilities

Power Class:

Cerebral - Domination

Power:

In short, Frank can perceive and influence the emotions and state of mind of others around him. This can range from something as simple as picking up on someone who may give off an outward appearance of being calm and collected, but may secretly be terrified, to something as complex as shifting an agitated, violent individual's emotional state to something calmer to prevent them from lashing out. There's a very specific nuance to it, hoever: Frank isn't a jedi - he can't directly implant specific ideas into someone's head, but through his abilities he could instill thoughts of self-doubt into a person if he needed to, for example.

Limits:

Frank's ability can only effect those within close proximity to him, around twenty metres at most. Futhermore, those with the sufficient willpower (or abilities, in the case of other metahumans) to resist his emotional influence can do so. Being aware that Frank is trying to influence them can help as well. Furthermore, using his ability requires a degree of concrentration in order for it to function correctly.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:

Frank's ability is a two-way street - whilst he can influence and shift the mood and emotional outlook of those around him, he in turn can suffer from what has been deemed in the cerebral field of study the 'bleeding effect', where he himself is vulnerable to becoming swayed by the emotions and thoughts of others around him by making use of his abilities. At best, it can be distracting but at worse, it can be an emotionally crippling experience - one would be dangerous in his line of work. It's taken a great deal of training and focus to bring the worst of it under wraps, but even now it's something which lingers overhead.

@Zombiedude101's new character in a nutshell.

[AlteredTundra]

@Mr Allen J @Zombiedude101
At long last, here is my character! :)

Jackson Thorvald Drake

.:Jackson|Male|27|6’0|200-215lbs|New Raygate:.

---

Appearance

.:Dirty Blonde|Hazel|Polish-German/Scottish:.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

It’s hard to place if Jackson is a slob intentionally or does it unknowingly. The fact remains that, despite awareness or not, Jackson looks, acts, and more importantly, presents himself as a slob. His dirty blonde hair is often unkempt. He maintains a tri-weekly routine of washing it and grooming it to his personal tastes. Aside from hair, Jackson has hazel-colored eyes. His skin is fair, if not with a slight tan shade to it. Hey, him being out in the sun is bound to get him some color, right?

Jackson maintains a fairly healthy diet. As such, his body is a temple. This means that there is a fair balance of fat and muscle; though the latter is more dominant than the former. When looked upon by eyes, it's clear as day that Jackson has an athletic, toned body that is proof of his martial arts background. It should be noted that he does have several scars, albeit some faded due to Father Time. He isn't very tall, either — well, if you consider six feet not very tall, that is. If not, then he is very tall. Accompanied with that, Jackson weighs within the 200-215 pound range. Yeah, he hasn't weighed himself in a while, so it's hard to pinpoint an exact weight number.

ATTIRE

When he was younger, Jackson had some very cringeworthy clothing. Back then, he was all about the weeb and emo style. Nowadays, he has a more refined fashion sense. You might catch him in a t-shirt with his favorite band logo on it every once in a while, but for the most part, he has a very manly, almost-rugged attire. In his closet are various t-shirts(some polos, buttonedup,), tank tops, various pairs of jeans and dress pants, and walking shoes. He does find himself in favor of comfort rather than style. That's just the kind of man that Jackson Drake is.

---

PERSONALITY

INNATE/OUTWARD PERSONALITY

First impressions are always important. They will make or break someone’s opinion of you. For Jackson Drake, more often than not, Jackson makes the wrong one on the wrong people. Those who could help him advance in his career always seem to see the bad side of Jackson - which coincides with how unlucky he has been in life.

He always seems to say the wrong thing at just the right time, and appears off-putting to those he’s trying to impress. He doesn’t do it on purpose, but it always appears that way. BEcause of that, he’s garnered a rather...unfortunate reputation of being the guy who can’t do anything right. He used to beat himself over it, but found it was better to beat other people. Ya know, selective blaming and all.

Jackson’s not a hard book to read. He’s a stubborn, unlucky, violence-enthusiastic idiot who prefers to talk with his fists rather than his mouth — it's gotten him to deep shit, so why use it? SOme might say he isn’t very bright either. And he might just be inclined to put a few right hooks in you if you dared to call him stupid. It’s not that it’s a trigger for him, but he is touchy when it comes to people insulting him. Perhaps it's him being too sensitive to critique, or maybe he knows it to be true, and doesn’t want others to read through his poker face. Whichever it is, Jackson will respond with violence before anything else could be said.

To those that are fortunate enough to see the lovable idiot behind the stupid idiot partial facade, they will know that Jackson is pretty much the same as he is on the outside, just without the aspect of punching everything that insults him. Quite frankly, he’s one of those people that has a big heart and has such a dork-like presence around his loved ones. His kindness is genuine and almost cliche at times. He’s definitely a dork all the way through. If you know this side of him, then you must mean a lot to Jackson. If not, then get to know him better!

HOBBIES/INTERESTS

Exercising and Body Conditioning | Jackson has a plethora of hobbies and interests that he does to bide his surprisingly large amount of free time that he has. The one that he spends most of the time doing is — well, as to be expected — is training. While there are various phases in which he does train(exercising, doing routine sets that he “feels” are right), they all coincide with the dominant aspect of his life — and that’s how he has spent almost two decades training in Capoeira . Ever since achieving his first black belt. He has since become a third-degree black belt.

Various Nerdom | Outside of his martial arts training/body conditioning, Jackson likes to indulge in a few...odd hobbies. The first of which is comic books and video games. Call it a form of meditation, Jackson loves it. Whether it’s Western or Eastern comic books and/or video games, Jackson is a lover of both. He has been a fan of that part of nerdom ever since his childhood. Safe to say it never got away from him.

Music | Jackson is also an avid music fan. Whether it’s a new and upcoming band/artist or simply one of his favorite, already-established bands/artists, he’ll go out of his way to see them. Sometimes it’s not exactly the legal way, but Jackson is all about bending the rules - even if just slightly.

SKILLS/TALENTS

Street Smart but not Book Smart | Jackson may not be able to read a map or tell you the results of complex science experiments with an in-depth explanation, but he can tell you what the word on the street is, and what places to avoid and which you can’t avoid. He can direct you to a dealer that won’t shoot you for not having enough money. He can also appear to be very knowledgeable of the happenings around Baybridge due to a vast network of associates that he’s gathered contacts in and out of the slums.

Capoeira | Jackson spent about seven years traveling abroad in Brazil. While there, he studied under a Capoeria master by the name of Luis Ramos, who happened to take a liking to a then-fresh-outta-high-school Jackson. He liked his spunk, so because of that, he took Jackson under his wing, and taught him how to refine his raw fighting talents. COmbined with JAckson’s endless energy, he was able to pick it up quickly, and before he knew it, Jackson grew quite efficient in utilizing it with an improvised style unique to him. He learned to use it while combining it with aeiral maneuvers, and various twist and turns.

While he didn’t opt for a career in some government agency, he did keep up with it after he left Brazil. Daily, Jackson trains, never rusty in his form. He continuously improves his stances, but also incorporating new ones that he tests out. Some work and some don’t.

Jackson’s rank in capoeira has been acknowledged by various masters as a first-degree Mastre. The proof of this are the white and green belts he wears whenever he takes part in underground fight club matches.

GOALS/MOTIVATIONS

Jackson has experienced great tragedy. And after a lot journey in solitude, he returned to Baybridge only to find out that the one person that was like a brother to him has gone missing. If there’s anything he’s totally motivated in doing, it’s to find his brother from another mother. He will do it at any cost.

---

HISTORY/BIO

Jackson was born in Baybridge. He grew up in New Raygate. And he came from a broken home. Both of his parents were addicts of some form. His father was a drug addict(crystal meth) and his mother preferred pain meds(oxycodone and vicodin). Thankfully he was an only child. Still to this day, Jinxed Jackson still doesn’t understand how he was able to be put in foster care before he died from their negligence, but he did. Not long after he turned ten, he was put into the system.

And about a year or so, he bounced from one home to another until a decent family picked him up. He was uprooted to Verthaven. They were a nice couple. A man and woman in their late-20s. They were good to him. The man was Theodore Raine and his wife was Sasha Raine. Both Metahumans. Theodore has been categorized as a Cerebal Extra-Sensory Class, who had the ability of Enhanced Eyesight, and Sasha was also a Cerebal Extra-Sensory Class. Her ability was Telekinesis. Both of them worked for NEST.

Throughout his life, Jackson was a rowdy kid. He was always getting into little scrapes and brawls here and there. Some of them were severe. Like this one time he got into a fight with the neighborhood bully Albert Peppers. They called him Big Al, on account on the fact that he was wide like a ball, but had enormous strength for a kid two years older than ten-year-old Jackson. They had a few encounters, mainly Big Al going after Jackson because of his strawberry blonde hair. Another couple times were because Jackson “looked” at him the wrong way. The actual truth was that Big Al saw Jackson, and assumed something that wasn’t true. In their fights, Big Al dominated frail, small Jackson. The preteen(at the time) would come home bruised. And each time, he wouldn’t say who did it, only that he would get them next time. And each time, he came back bruised. It came to the point where Theodore enrolled his son in martial arts. To him, if he was going to get into fights he needed to know how to defend himself.

And so Jackson started to take lessons at a local Capoeira dojo. It was taught by a family friend of the Raine’s. Jackson had one other sibling student by the name of Levi Dobson. He was the same age as Jackson and of equal size, so everything that Jackson learned, he learned. Only, JAckson was far weaker and prone to anger than Levi was. It also took JAckson a while to get the nicks and crannies of the style down before he became effective in it.

Almost a full year studying, Jackson achieved a decent amount of skill under his “mastre”. In the year that had passed, he and Levi had grown close - so close that they were best friends; always getting into trouble. Levi ended up helping Jackson out of encounters with Big Al.In that year, Jackson and Levi were inseparable.

Years later, Jackson and Levi were both well into their late-teens(18 years old), and ended up becoming the best of friends. They were like Beavis and Butthead. One was never without the other for too long. They thought alike, so they often got into the same sticky situations together. Best bros, after all, don’t leave a man behind.

Around the time that the VErthaven disaster happened, Jackson and Levi were out of Verthaven with friends. They had decided to ditch school, and maybe go to mexico for some partying. They had missed out on the greatest tragedy to ever befall on California. When Jackson returned with his friends, it was revealed to him through a series of relatives that Jackson’s adoptive parents had died in battle with something called “The Devil”. The detailed were pretty vague at the time - and especially so in current time for Jackson - but Jackson was so distraught that he couldn’t really deal with it. To him, they were his parents. They weren’t his adopted parents, but they were the ones who took him from a hellish foster care system, and gave him a home that he could actually be proud of calling home. For nearly ten years, they gave him a place where he was able to go without worry of his life.

And while he was busy partying it up with some Mexican sluts, his parents were fighting the good fight. What kind of man was Jackson if he couldn’t even be there for his parents? What a pathetic fool he was.

Jackson beat himself up for a long time. He shut himself down from anyone who tried to get him to go with them to social gatherings, or just to talk to them. Even Levi couldn’t get through to him - which made what Jackson did next a shock to everyone that knew him.

One night - presumingly just after he buried both of his parents - Jackson made an impulsive, in-the-moment decision to pack up what he could in his maroon duffle bag, and bought a one-way ticket to Brazil. He needed to get away, and he always did want to go to Brazil.

As the years went on, Jackson went just about everywhere he could. He traveled as a nomad, going place to place, seeking what he thought the next place would: inner-peace and answers about the many questions he found himself asking. But, every place he would visit, be it the year he spent abroad in the Amazon or some of the various mountain ranges and national parks throughout the country. It wasn’t until he came across the region of Pernambuco that he was able to get on the right track of his self-rediscovery journey. There, in the place where Capoeira originated from, Jackson, through some twist and turns from locals, came to the direction of a small village-like community known simply as Palmares. There, the people heard his story, and heard how broken he sounded. Because of that, he found a temporary residence in the village.

And for five years, Jackson lived among them, figuring out who exactly he was, able to cope with his parents death, become more efficient with capoeira, and more importantly, he stopped blaming himself for his parents’ death. After he learned all that he could, even though it saddened him - especially since he had met someone truly special by the name of Sophia - Jackson felt a tug in a different direction. And, perhaps, another reason why, was that something happened to him that he couldn’t quite explain, and being in Brazil, where there was a strong presence of “strange is bad”, it was best to get the hell out of dodge.

Long before he knew it, Jackson had made it back to the states. When he returned, he found himself returning to Verthaven. He had a few things to do. One, he wanted to visit the graves of his parents. He wanted to tell them where he had been, what had happened to him, and how he found his calling. After he would do that, Jackson felt he had to go see Levi.

And when Jackson would seek out Levi, he found out from Levi’s parents that levi had moved to Baybridge about two years ago, and had accepted a job working for an organization named DOVE. One could assume that Jackson was taken aback by this news, but he shrugged at it. To him, he knew where Levi was, and he needed to tell Levi pretty much everything that happened to him. There was so much he wanted to tell him. But to do that, it seemed Jackson was going to go back to Baybridge. After what seemed like almost two decades, he couldn’t believe that he was going back.

Oh well. He didn’t have much as far as belongings - only the dufflebag of clothes and a couple of electronics.

As Jackson had returned, it seemed not much had changed. Baybridge was just as divided as he remember reading up about it. Some shifts in government here and there, and some areas expanded while some have been left forgotten, but it was pretty much the same Baybridge that he remembered living in(somewhat) when he was younger. When he did return, Jackson wondered if his junkie bio-parents were still alive. He did eventually check up on them, but not at first. Before he did anything, Jackson wanted to find Levi.

When Jackson went to go look for him, he went by DOVE headquarters, but there was no luck, which seemed to be Jackson’s flavor of love. So, he tried another day, and still nothing. He kept on going for a full week, but that it produced the same results. Jackson wasn’t a smart man, but even he knew something was up. But what could he do? There had to be someone out there that would be able to help him...

RELATIONSHIPS

FAMILY

Leonidas Raymond Drake | 49 | Normal Human | Alive
Riley Emily Drake | 44 | Metahuman | Alive
Jackson holds a deep disgust for both of his parents. First of all, they would rather get high than care about him. They never did write or try to get clean when the state took him away. Because of that, he has not tried to contact them. For all he knows they are dead. Or if they are alive, he just doesn't care enough to seek them out for any reason whatsoever.
Theodore Raine | 36| Metahuman | Deceased(died during the Verthaven Disaster)
Jackson and his [adopted] father had a rocky start, but when the ice was broken, he found himself very fond of Theodore. They grew to love and admire each other. Jackson saw him as the father that he wished Leonidas could have been. Still, he never saw Theodore as his "adopted" father. Well, he did at the beginning, but near the end, Jackson admired and respected the man that he was proud to call his father - which intensified the pain he felt when he died, and he blamed himself for it.
Sasha Raine | 35| Metahuman | Deceased(died during the Verthaven Disaster)
One could say that Jackson was a momma's boy. He has a hard shell, but a soft inside. And Sasha knew that. She was kind and gentle when she needed to be and tough on him when the situation called for it. Because of that, she and JAckson hit it off right away. There wa sosmething deep and meaningful about their relationship. Jackson felt he could trust her right away. That's why it broke his heart when he couldn't save her nor Theodore when he should have been able to. For the longest time, he blamed himself for their deaths. How he would have given anything to be able to talk to them both one last time.

ABILITIES

POWER CLASS

Elemental | Energy - Fire Wave Emission and Generation

POWER

Jackson’s ability is one that coincides with his fiery spirit. Like him, his ability is a heated display of fire that travels along with his body movements. It is the second half of his Capoeira fighting style. Every time that he will kick or punch, an arc of fire follows it like a flowing stream of fire. When Jackson athletically twirls around, fire will surround him in the size of a mini-tornado, shielding him from harm. His mind wills the fire to go where he wants it to be and it to be harmful/harmless when he wants it to be.

As noted, Jackson’s ability is the second half of his capoeira.

LIMITS

Jackson may be able to generate the flames and summon them around him through an innate ability for it, he cannot manipulate them at will. It simply cannot be done at this stage. He can’t redirect them once they have been generated. If they are homed at something or someone, regardless if they are friend, foe, or a civilian building, Jackson’s unable to redirect the flames for he lacks complete control over them in that aspect.

There is also the issue of range to consider. Due to the flames being an extension of himself - or, more like his limbs - they can only extend so far until they dissolve into the air. At most, Jackson can extend them a yard in every direction around him.

Though Jackson shows promise in being able to manipulate the flames once released, he still has ways to go before he is perfect at it.

WEAKNESSES/DRAWBACKS

There are a few things that could render Jackson useless in a fight. The first, of course, being water. It is fire’s opposite, so bring that into play, and Jackson is more or less useless when it comes to his power. It will easily extinguish his flames, which will make it easier for any enemy he’s facing to take him out.

Another weakness is Jackson’s own fault. His temperament sometimes can be his own curse. He has the tendency to be hotheaded and not think rationally. Since fire is the element of passion and it reacts strongly to one’s own passion, it can be assumed that Jackson’s own emotions - if left to their own devices - will cause the fire to either be more erratic, like it’s natural, free-flowing form, or be so out of his control that not even the simplest of desires will cause it to obey Jackson’s commands.

It should be noted that Jackson’s own human energy levels plays a huge factor into how effectively he can use his power. Since it more or less revolves around his capoeira, one could assume that Jackson’s stamina and how long he can endure physical strain. Pretty much, the more intense the battle(usually with multiple opponents), the quicker his energy levels are drained, and thus the less effective his flames are. At most, Jackson can go continuously for about seven minutes before he feels the effects of fatigue.

Other:

• Jackson’s powers manifested sometime during his time in Brazil and might’ve been the reason he cut his time short.
• Jackson has a peculiar meditation practice in which he listens to screamo music while he tries to find his inner-zen.
• Jackson has a strong dislike for Green Tea. If you must give him tea, black or he’ll have a coffee.
• Jackson’s idea of a good time is taking part in local, underground MMA fights. That and gaming until daybreak.
• Jackson is left-handed and speaks german fluently.
• Jackson enjoys hard liquor. Tequila is his favorite of the hard liquor in the world.
