[b]Name:[/b] 
Jaymi DuBois

[b]Alias:[/b]
Poltergeist  

[b]Age:[/b] 
21

[b]Personality:[/b]
Jaymi at first glance comes across as quiet and reserved. He genuinely tends to keep things to himself unless something deserves to be called out. Growing up in an abusive, religious household, he was made to be very timid and not to stand up for himself. Over time, especially with the emergence of his powers he has learned to speak up and stand his ground. However, he still holds a part of his old self with him which is something he’s come to terms with. He can be very blank in the face which only means he’s constantly keeping his emotions in check.

[b]Powers:[/b] 
[i]Telekinesis[/i] – Poltergeist has the ability to move objects with the mind. Unlike other powerful telekinetics, Poltergeist can only manipulate telekinesis at its purest form. Thus, he cannot perform complex telekinetic operations, like the manipulation of matter and energy, being limited to more basic applications. But this is made up with overwhelming power. For example, he could crush, grip, and/or strangle heavy objects as light as a feather to a car.  He is able to unleash telekinetic blasts strong enough to throw things back or tear obstacles out of his path. He can levitate things, push/pull them, or create constructs. Poltergeist can move one object at a time or move several. He can also move the inner workings of devices, i.e. unlock a door.
[list][*][i]Tactile Telekinesis[/i] – Poltergeist can completely surround himself with an invisible field of telekinetic energy, protecting him from harm which gives him slight invulnerability. It also enhances his physical abilities like increased strength. However, tactile telekinesis must be consciously activated for use. If not, he is vulnerable to pretty much any attack.
[*][i]Flight[/i] – Poltergeist is able to fly/levitate himself via telekinesis. His flight speed depends on the amount of energy he puts in. He isn’t able to fly for too long without stopping to rest.[/list]
[i]Telepathy[/i] – Poltergeist contains the simplest form of telepathy, enabling him to hear the thoughts of others, make psychic links with others, and send out his own thoughts to communicate. To actually “see” what one is thinking or look into their memories, he has to physically touch them to do so.

[b]Weaknesses:[/b]  
Jaymi’s abilities are limited to his willpower as well as his emotions. In order to get them under control, he first must be in control. To act out in anger or frustration is bad for himself and others. Over exerting himself will land him in a coma. With Telepathy, he initially had no control over who he heard. It is still a newer ability he acquired so he’s still learning. As of now he can hear a few people at a time to only one. At certain times, his power will slip and he’ll hear something he wasn’t supposed to but for the most part Poltergeist is good with privacy. At rare times, he’ll hear everything around him which will give him a migraine and eventually knock him out. Personality wise, he can be too sympathetic sometimes which he often questions himself why is he on a team that is seen as misfits. He can also be too optimistic and can trust the wrong person (which has dissipated due to his telepathy).

[b]Brief Bio:[/b] 
Jaymi didn’t have a great childhood. He was born in Central City to a single mother who got pregnant from a one night stand. She gave birth to her child in a bathtub instead of a hospital because she didn’t believe in modern ways of medicine. Jaymi’s mother believed her son was born of sin and was the child of the devil. Feeling guilty for having sex out of wedlock, she took her anger out on her son his whole life by abusing him and using religious dogma as her excuse. By the time he was a teenager, he was a socially awkward, timid, shy young man who couldn’t defend himself if he tried. He could never escape the wrath of someone trying to pick on him in school, or getting jumped on his way home. He never really understood why people disliked him until he understood his mother wasn’t well liked either. So by association, he was not liked. Even though he wasn’t great socially, he excelled in academics landing him in advanced classes.

During his senior year of high school, he learned that things would break when he got angry. He started to move little things around which turned into several larger things including his bed. After doing research on telekinesis and the metagene, he continued to practice until his mother found out. He tried explaining to her that there were others like him who could do what he could. Calling him the anti-Christ and a witch, she attempted to kill him. In a fit of rage, he launched just about every knife in the kitchen at her, as well as almost leveling his house with telekinetic energy. When police arrived, they found Jaymi’s mother dead and him in a coma from over exertion. When he woke, it was weeks later in a hospital. He overheard nurses talking to each other about things moving in his room every so often like a poltergeist or earthquake. After answering questions, the police concluded it was a small earthquake and let him go. Since he was 18 already, they couldn’t really do much with social services. Since he didn’t have any relative nearby, he stayed at an LGBT homeless shelter and finished high school. Everyone who had harassed him stopped since they felt bad for him. At the shelter, he found a homeless black cat and kept her as a pet. While at the shelter, he was contacted by the Outsiders to join them.


[b]What they bring to the team?:[/b]  
Every team needs that one strong psychic to help with things that can be too physical or to get them out of tight jams. Being a borderline genius, he can help with technical stuff as well as anything that is book smart. He tends to be a mediator and can help out when people are having a disagreement. Poltergeist also brings a calmness and sometimes dry humor.

[b]Notes:[/b]
[list][*]I don’t intend on him ever evolving his TK to work at a molecular level unless demanded by others in the role play. I might however evolve his telepathy sometime in the later future.
[*]I pretty much made Telekinesis his main power and Telepathy a weaker, side power in order to balance him out. I didn’t want to make an overpowered Jean Grey type character.
[*]I sort of jacked the beginning part of his bio from Carrie because I had bad writer’s block (minus the prom massacre).
[*]Just about everything in his closet is black.
[*]Poltergeist has a pet female black cat named Jinx. A very sassy black cat at that.[/list][/hider]
