Current Sometimes it doesn’t matter too much what choice you make, as long as you make it quick and stick to it.

You should laugh every moment you live, for you'll find it decidedly difficult afterwards.

Bio

Hey there, I assume you want to know about me so here it is...

The name is gowia (g-ow-ee-ah) or Alex. Or anything else you come up with, I'm not fussy.

I am a 25 year old male, though comfortably I'll play anything as a character.

I am a Brit born and bred and so that is my lingo, I use British words and love my slang, and if I don't seem to make sense I may simply be using English idioms that don't translate outside the rural country abodes I swan around.

I enjoy all sorts of things, I am an avid football (soccer) player and supporter, adore music, and live for a good story. I am in love with history. So you will always get a decent plot or conversation out of me on that subject.

If there is anything else you need to ask, feel free too. I swear I don't bite... much.

"Well wouldn't you be touchy about your age if you were surrounded by a cast from Disney? I mean really...is there nobody over the age of twenty here?"

As the other girl joined the conversation Jack sighed deeply. Diehard feminist.

"Sorry hun, but no gender is better or worse in this place we all call home. Some men are dicks, so are some women. If you want to hate on all men then you are going to have a long road ahead of you, considering we make up half the world. What gives you any right to judge someone based on their gender?"

Turning back to the litter of Catwoman, Jack addressed the first of the two.

"In regards to your clearly estranged mother, I don't actually know her. So I will just take your word on that. Now...can I get your name? I promise you can have mine."

Jack grinned now and offered his hand. He was a gent after all.

Jack laughed now. Okay, this girl may be slightly insufferable but she did make him smile. He respected cheek.

"Let me make two things clear. Firstly, I am nobody's Daddy. Secondly, you can take that forty odd and shove it where the sun don't shine. I'm in my twenties, sure that's older than this little club of junior offenders you have, but I ain't old. Besides, if it isn't father issues you have. It's gotta be mother issues, lemme get a good look at you..."

Jack leant forward and inspected the girl's face intently. He recognised some of the features.

"...I'm thinking Catwoman. You have her eyes. Well, that is certainly not the most caring of mum's, I must say."

Jack felt the odd gunk run down his face and onto his overalls. It was even less pleasant to touch than it was to smell, though now he was touching AND smelling it. Wiping the food from his head and face he let it fall onto the floor. Jack sighed once more before speaking.

"Am I Daddy in this situation? Someone clearly had father issues of their own when they were young. Tell me, did he just run out on your family, or was it because his daughter was just too clingy for her own good? I mean normally a real man would stick it out, but I think even the best father would run off if his daughter started calling herself Dark Beauty"

Jack made sure to perfectly imitate the girl's voice as he said 'Dark Beauty'.

Jack's eyes raised as one of the girls made a comment on his age. It was true, he had noticed, that he was one of the oldest inmates here. Which didn't bode well for him at all. Sighing Jack looked at the girl who had addressed him. Youthful exuberance, he hated it. He wasn't even that old!

"Look love, flattery can get me anywhere. I can understand you believing otherwise though, those just out of nappies normally don't have an understanding of how the world really works."

Jack gave back a wry smile and looked over the meals the two had in front of them. Out on the plates the food looked even worse than before.
@Blackwidow Looks fine to me, feel free to add to the Character tab :)

"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?"

Jack had started laughing as he half stumbled, and was half dragged, towards to the entrance to the facility after his perfect impersonation of Clint Eastwood. As a cough overtook his laugh the guards slowed slightly, not wanting to be the reason he died of an asthma attack or something. After the coughing subsided as well the pace picked back up to unforgiving rates and Jack had to almost jog to keep up, did they teach marching quickly?

"C'mon! That's Dirty Harry! You must've seen it, a good cop who is a huge dick to everyone...I know you're both not cops, but you both seem to be huge dicks..."

The procession stopped and one of the men turned, hurling a fist into Jack's stomach, letting him double over as the wind was knocked from him. Clearly the two men weren't in the mood for some fun. Going limp he allowed himself to be dragged inside. When finally in the compound he had a pair of beefy looking cuffs placed on him, he had had something like it before but nothing this technical looking. After a brief explanation Jack found out about their ability to shock and reduce his powers. As a demonstration Jack attempted to create an illusion of one of the guards. THe best he could do was voices still and a very fuzzy cloud that could have been anyone. Sighing he was led to his cell so he knew where he was going, before being led back to the canteen. Here the two guards left him and Jack could freely look around. There was a fair few prisoners and so Jack reckoned the prison was close to capacity. Walking to the food, Jack grimaced. It was slop at the best and Jack had been fed before he arrived. Deciding against the food he turned to see if there was anybody to talk to. Two tables seemed to be filled with conversation and the teenage part of him that remained instantly wanted to head to the table occupied by two girls. Sighing he walked forward and parked himself on a free chair next to the two girls.

"Sorry ladies, do you mind if I join you? I'm a new fish in this pond and...well...you seem a friendly bunch after all. At least friendlier than some of the nut jobs here."

Jack made sure to go heavy on his British accent as he spoke. He had found that many American girls loved it, but also it just made him memorable even if they didn't like the accent.

Real Name:
Jack ‘Sully’ Sullam

Alias:
Hypnos

Age:
27

Gender:
Male

Power(s):
Voice Manipulation – Jack is able to completely change his voice, making it that of whomever he chooses. However he has to have heard the voice somewhat before he can mimic it. He is also able to throw his voice, meaning he can be speaking however the voice may seem to originate from any point Jack can see, rather than his mouth.
Visual Distortion – Jack is able to change his entire appearance with an illusion. This means he can take the form of anybody he chooses to. However this power cannot be used indefinitely and requires a fair amount of concentration and so something painful normally breaks the illusion.
Phantom Throwing – Jack’s final power is that he can create phantom illusions. The illusions are life sized and can be of anybody he chooses, twinned with his voice manipulation Jack can create and control illusions of people. A simple phantom requires very little focus however if Jack then gives it a voice and controls it from afar, it can be very difficult and cannot be kept up for a long time.

Skill(s):
Silver Tongued – Jack has learned from his early years that if he spoke long enough, he could get what he wanted. From talking his way into a movie theatre to talking his way out of a police car, Jack always knows what to say and his ego knows this too.
Seasoned Inmate – Jack has been through a number of other prisons and has been at Purgatory before and so he knows the ins and outs better than most. Alongside that he has had to learn how to fight and whilst beefing up slightly, he also knows how to hold himself in a fist fight.

Weakness(es):
Broken Focus – Most of his more advanced powers require quite a bit of focus and so a simple shock or stab can completely break that, forcing his illusions to dematerialise.
Still Human – Jack is a human at the heart of it all and has all the weaknesses they do.
‘He will wind you up…’ – Jack loves to talk and he has talked himself into trouble just as much as he talks himself out. He may be rude and push his luck at times. Just remember, it’s nothing personal.

Appearance:


Costume:
N.A. - Jack wore the outfit of his victims, he never needed an outfit.

Backstory:
Jack would like to tell you that he grew up in a broken home that ‘shaped him’ and made him ‘hate the world’ but that isn’t true. Jack was born into a fairly middle class family in England, where he had a very good education and never went wanting for anything. When he as in university he found that he had a knack for impersonations and earned some extra cash doing a short gig at a local comedy club. Soon after that Jack started getting into trouble with the law in regards to weed and other infractions he committed as a rebellious teen. However he seemed to be able to talk his way out of the police cars then as well. Finally when his parents found out about the drugs and fights he had gotten into they had had an argument. They expected him to complete his law degree and go to law school however Jack enjoyed his freedom and they fought. During the fight he left and went to his room without releasing it he had left an illusion of himself standing and taking the abuse his parents were hurling. This discovery led too Jack leaving for America with his friends on a gap year, during this time he didn’t take the return flight and stayed illegally in America. In the U.S he begun taking jobs to frame people, going to illegal brothels and drug dens as certain people, so that when he was discovered there, the actual personality would be framed. Many a politicians’ career fell to this trick.
Soon the money wasn’t good enough for jack and he started working on bigger and better crimes to pay for his rich lifestyle. A man who could take the appearance of any guard or owner was invaluable to any bank heist and Jack was content for a time. It was during a heist that jack killed his first man, a friend of the woman he was impersonating noticed Jack not playing the part right and was fussing over Jack, Jack lost his cool and the illusion broke, as did the one that was covering his heist mate. Jack shot the friend then and there without thinking. He stopped heisting after that for a long time. It broke his personality and he locked himself away. It was locked away that he became Hypnos, going from gang work to solo he began a spree of heists and killings. He murdered dignitaries and stole from banks and museums alike. By the time that he was stopped he had amassed a fortune that he kept all locked up in one large penthouse suite. During a his spree he made an enemy of the Penguin by stealing a lot of money from him. In the end the Penguin tricked Jack into a trap and had him arrested and thrown into different prisons. With his ability Jack escaped numerous times and every time was hauled back by the Batman. Finally when Purgatory was constructed they found a prison Jack couldn't escape from, so far.

Enemies:
The Penguin
Batman

Family/Friends:
He doesn't know or speak to his parents anymore and he has no friends on the inside due to his most recent transfer.

Crush/Relationship:
None as of yet.

Prison Status/Sentence:
Max Security Prisoner
Life Sentence – 12 counts Murder, 17 counts Theft, 128 counts Fraud and 260 counts of Failure to Pay Taxes

Other:
During his time alone or when he is bored, Jack mimics his favourite music artists and entertains himself with song.
Okay then.
