Jack Ashbourne

---

Jack strode down the middle of the hall towards the student lounge. His long legs came to a stop in front of the closed door. He stared at the door. It was a nice door. Probably a very old door too. It certainly looked old. He wanted to kick it open. That would be pretty cool. Nobody could ever forget an entrance like that. Unless they had short-term memory loss. Then he supposed they could forget about an epic entrance. Although they may just make an exception for him and his entrance. He was special after all.

While staring at the door, Jack was surprised when a short red-haired girl approached him from behind. "You just going to stare at the door? Found something more interesting than going in?" Recovering quickly Jack indignantly replied, "I was observing it. I thought I had, but, no, it turned out to be, uh... more door." She stared at him openly for a second. "It's just a door," she said flatly. "What the hell did you expect to find?" He shrugged still looking at the door, "Dunno. It is a nice door though."

He opened the door and stepped back to allow her to pass through. She didn't. She stood there and kept looking at him. "I thought you wanted to go in." He glanced at her than at the door, "Are you staring at the door? Come now, 'it's just a door.'" Stepping forward into the room he glanced around at all the people. The girl followed him inside and began to mix with the crowd. She was certain of one thing, she would never forget that man, that was for sure.

(OLD) X-Men: The New Era (OLD)

Name: Jack Ashbourne

Nicknames/Aliases: Ashes, Firestorm, Pyro, Inferno, Blaze, Jack the Burner(a reference to Jack the Ripper, and Jack Ashbourne's ruthlessness)

X-Men Code Name: Firestorm

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Physical Description: 6'2" and muscularly built. He has wavy hair that is dark brown and usually standing up in the front. His face is angular, but not too sharp, leaving him with a nice cheekbone. His eyes are blue, fading between sky blue and ocean blue. Usually he can be found in a pair of jeans and a red hoodie

Mutations: Jack's power in pyrokinesis. He can control the fire the burns inside of him. Anytime he takes off his shirt a orange-red glow can be seen resonating from his chest. This red glow is theorized to be the source of his power and when activated flows through his veins. The brighter he glows the hotter he burns. The abilities that he has discovered so far include throwing balls of fire, heating up his body temperature to incredible heats, and even limited flight. As a side effect of this power, Jack goes through incredible amounts of food to burn for energy.

Personality: Despite his looks, Jack is strangely a gentlemen, and a confident one at that. He acts very polite at first, using his velvet voice to draw people in, but after getting to know him it starts to show that he is an egotist, constantly complimenting his own actions, and showing off for others. This is not to say that he doesn't have an appropriate reason to be so confident. His sharpened wit is in constant use when around him, as he is always thinking ahead of the situation.

Background:
Jack grew up in a poorer family. Parents who hadn't been to college, and an overabundance of siblings running around a tiny house in the suburbs. It's easy to say Jack disliked the life that had been gifted to him. He felt smarter than all of them, rightly so, though he loved them passionately. Despite trying his hardest to be like everyone else he knew, he just didn't fit in.

School was just as bad as Jack's flamboyant mouth and intelligence got him into a lot of fights. Jack didn't back down though. Each and every fight the bullies picked with him, he fought back. It wasn't often he won, but he kept trying, even antagonizing the bullies when were beating him on the ground. At such a young age, Jack was unable to defend himself well physically, but he more than made up for it with his cunningness.

Eventually Jack just ran away from home. He was only thirteen. He loved his parents. He loved his siblings. He loved his home. Many times Jack questioned how he was going to survive by himself out in the big bad world, but somewhere inside of him he always knew he never fit where he was. And Jack was hellbent on finding a place where he would fit. Naturally once he developed his abilities Jack ran into Ashford Institute for the Gifted. Finally he fit... Somewhat
