Real Name: James Cassidy Alias: The Jester Age: 24 Gender: male Power(s): Resistance to all known toxins, increased strength, speed, agility, reflexes, and durability, light regenerative ability. Seems able to "cheat death" on numerous occasions. Minor "cartoon logic". Skill(s): Master inventor, chemist, expert marksman, master of concealment and disguise, surgical precision, master manipulator, acrobat. Expert of hand to hand combat. Weakness(es): Boredom. Appearance: Roughly 6 feet tall, with dark green hair and pure white skin, his eyes almost glow a green color with golden veins running through them, giving him a very intimidating stare. His face has multiple scars around his hairline and jaw, as though his face has been once removed and successfully replaced, with the eyes and mouth showing slight muscle tendon at the edges. His smile is rather wide and menacing, accented by their blood red color that extends well past his lips, as though there were permanent, jagged clown makeup. His body is toned rather well, although he is thin and looks weaker than he really is. Costume: a purple/black trench coat stylized like a suit coat, with a dark green vest and bright white dress shirt underneath, dress slacks of the same color, and some rather spiffy dress shoes, complete with white spats. Backstory: James was a rather normal, almost boring man. He had a fiancé, heavy with child, a normal family and a dead end job. If he had continued on that path, he surely could have led a happy life. One that gave him a real reason to smile. In a sense, the Joker proved his point once more with James, as he planned to create a new 'him'. All it took was one bad day. Within a few hours, James lost his family, his job, his house, and worse, he watched his pregnant wife to be crushed in her car with his own eyes. Broken, and on the verge of a sanity lapse, he was 'found' by the clown prince of crime and turned into something new. After years of training, James turned down the vat of chemicals, not wishing to take the final step into becoming the Joker. Instead, behind his back, James modified the tank and created his own Harley, dumping a woman into the chemicals and training her to be his sidekick. The two quickly fell for each other, and they were careful around the Joker as days went past. After a time, however, the Joker grew bored and rather insulted by this creation of his, who seemed to almost be able to become better than even him, after James made his changes to the chemicals. Thus the clown did what anyone would do. He called a meeting with the two and blew her brains out. This broke James for the final time. He leapt at the Joker, surprising even him, and savagely beat him to near death, refusing the killing blow the Joker desired so badly. Within the next few months, James began working on the chemicals that created his love, and slowly descended further into his madness, becoming a notorious serial killer in Gotham. He had cut off his face in a fit of madness, then bolted it back on, and had done so to his victims. When the vat was prepared, he stripped himself and leaped in, allowing the automated system to drain it and reveal his new form to the world. Every bit as dangerous as the Joker, but with even greater potential. His face changed, yet reattached, his resolve to change the world was reborn. The Jester suited up with a sadistic smile. Armed with his new abilities, his re-fractured mind, and his newest sidekick, a Scarecrow-like minion named Laughing Gas, he hoped to remodel this new prison to make his own Arkham experience. Enemies: The Bat Family, The Joker Family/Friends: Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Laughing Gas, Scarecrow. Crush/Relationship: None Prison Status/Sentence: Willingly turned himself in, probable life sentence.
