Name: Jack Archer
Age: 21
Power: “Mad Science,” the power to build things even when you really shouldn’t be able to. Takes at least twenty minutes, and often longer, to build anything using his powers.
Weapon: Jump Boots- A pair of boots Jack built in high school which let him jump extremely large heights via a self-loading spring mechanism. He brought these with him mostly for their sentimental value, as they’re the first invention he ever made with his “insight.”
Appearance: He is characterized by a wild mane of red hair which he keeps slicked back with a hair tie when engaged in important work. Short and a little pudgy, Jack isn’t much of an athlete. His tan skin distinctly lacks freckles.
Personality: Jack is an easygoing guy for the most part. He tries to get along with people and roll with the punches. However, he doesn’t always react well to high stress situations and can get into an angry kind of panic if up against something urgent without a plan.
Outlook: Jack has moved to the city to start his own business, and to get away from town after a bad breakup (“Don’t ask”). He sees the move as a way to start over.
Bio: A car mechanic from a small town, Jack runs his business in a rather unorthodox manner. Using his powers he can offer extremely cheap maintenance/repair, or more pricey customizations for those looking to get something unique on or off the road. Wen maintaining or repairing a vehicle the car usually ends up looking the same as it came in, but on the inside strange modifications are the norm.
See, Jack knows nothing about engines. And very little about gearboxes.
The modifications used in Jack’s line of work cause the car to run the way it’s supposed to (by utilizing a construct built on the idea of “fixing this vehicle”), but the means of doing so often becomes incomprehensible. Engines “just work” when he builds them, but no one is quite sure where the gas goes. But so long as no one looks too closely, there’s nothing to notice.
Except of course for the downright weird custom jobs he’s done for certain customers in the past. These are usually flashy and obvious, to the point of maybe not even being street legal. But then that’s what they ask for.
Jack’s gotten away with this back in his hometown because he was part of a family business who mostly covered for him, and were the only mechanics in town anyway. So there wasn’t a second opinion most of the time to say he did things wrong. Unfortunately he’s been having trouble finding work because of this now that he’s moved to the city. Still he’s optimistic about his chances, and one day hopes to open his own shop where he’ll be free to do things his way.
