Might change it later) [h1]Jasmine "Jas" Chang[/h1][/center] [hider=Character name] [U]Appearance[/U] [indent][I]Jasmine is an average-sized girl with a small frame. 5’5” and 120 lbs soaking wet, she doesn’t look particularly athletic, and it is obvious that she’s the kind who would rather play video games than go to the gym. Jasmine’s skin is a light Asian tone. She has average curvature and shoulders which seem hunched together, making her look thinner. Her face is heart shaped, with a slight cleft chin and smooth features. Her nose is small and soft-looking, with smooth angles. Her lips are moderately full and are cherry blossom pink (obviously she wears lipstick). Her hair is dark brown and is cut short. Jasmine has almond-shaped eyes that are a very dark brown, almost black. Her ears are hidden behind her hair, generally. Jasmine’s face generally looks straight and slightly bored, as if reality isn’t quite sufficient for her. She has long fingernails which she paints the same pink as her lips, and tends to drum them on tables often. Jasmine wears makeup, though besides her lipstick tries to make it look like she’s not wearing any. As far as fashion sense goes, Jasmine generally dresses to look professional. Slacks and blouses are the bread-and-butter of her wardrobe, and she usually wears a pair of black three-inch heels. When weather-appropriate, Jasmine wears a charcoal-grey wool coat that falls a little below her knees. She often has the collar on said coat popped. She wears a silver necklace, from which hangs a key and a flash drive, both of which are also silver. Besides this, Jasmine doesn’t wear any jewelry. Jasmine is a big-time caffeine addict, and so she almost always drinks coffee.

And this is no lie - Jasmine Chang is incredibly intelligent. Intelligent enough to skip two grades of school and graduate high school at age fifteen, and intelligent enough to have scored a 2390 on the SAT. She spends a ton of her time surfing the web and reading, so much that her social life has floundered and she has few friends. She pretty much lacks any sort of social grace, and will often say offensive things completely off the cuff without realizing that they’re offensive. She’s one of those people who says the thing that is on everyone else’s mind, but that others are too afraid to say. She also really fails to grasp the concept of a joke. Jasmine Chang is so smart, in fact, that she finds normal life to be kind of boring. Day after day of the same thing at the same time isn’t Jasmine’s thing, and it often gets her into trouble. She is incredibly nosy, often spying on people to learn something new just to keep her brain occupied. She is borderline annoying, either badgering people about everything they do in the most uncouth way possible or completely ignoring them with no middle ground. Conversations between Jasmine and anyone else are very rarely two-sided, especially when it is something scientific. Jasmine’s intelligence has made her arrogant to the point that she believes herself to pretty much be the sole scientific authority on everything. If someone says something which is incorrect, she will do whatever it takes to make sure that they know *just* how wrong they were. Those who challenge her on information should be prepared for one hell of a fight, and Jasmine’s pride causes her to never accept that she is wrong about something. She fantasizes often about what it would be like to be a detective like Sherlock Holmes (her personal idol) and when in a situation tries to think like him, throwing out emotion for hard logic and science. Jasmine's flaw is often that she isn't as smart as she thinks she is. Jasmine is incredibly intelligent, but no one is Sherlock Holmes. She often gets in over her head in situations because she overestimates her own abilities, and so she gets into trouble fairly commonly. [/i][/indent] [U]Goals and aspirations[/U] [indent][i]Jasmine's goal in life is pretty much to be Sherlock Holmes. She wants to be a detective, but one who can do whatever she wants to without having to listen to laws or abide by rules. She was attending University of Maryland in America, where she studied criminology and forensics, but she was kicked out for trespassing into the president's office. [/i][/indent] [U]CV[/U] [indent][i]Job-wise, Jasmine isn't overly experienced, as most work situations where she has to interact with people annoy her. The only job she's had for more than three days is an internship at a PI's office. She was halfway through getting her criminology degree from University of Maryland when she was expelled, and since then she hasn't gone back to school. [/i][/indent] [U]Crime[/U] [indent][i]Jasmine was arrested for trespassing as well as breaking and entering. [/i][/indent] [U]Background[/U] [indent][i]Jasmine was born in London. Her father worked at the Chinese embassy and her mother was a lawyer. That said, she's never wanted much for money. The second of four children, Jasmine grew up often feeling like the middle child, kind of pushed aside so that her older brother could be praised and her little sisters could have their cheeks pulled. When very young, Jasmine was obviously very different from other kids. She was an introvert, often staying away from the other kids and playing by herself, and she rarely made friends. She showed many signs of autistic tendencies, but after tests from child psychologists showed that she did not have autism, her parents stopped really caring. They figured that the best thing to do would be to let Jasmine be whoever she wanted to be. Being quite smart, Jasmine excelled in school, after she skipped third and fifth grade, and her parents sent her to a very expensive boarding school near Blackpool. She was easily the top of her class, but had a nose for trouble and spent time in detention frequently. She had only one or two friends while at school, and spent most of her time reading books and studying. She graduated high school at age fifteen. Jasmine came home for one summer and then left once more, travelling to America, where she studied criminology at University of Maryland, College Park, in hopes of becoming a detective. Halfway through her third year, she was expelled for trespassing in the President's office. She claimed that she was attempting to expose the president for an extramarital affair, but no one believed her. She was sent home, where her parents berated her for being so irresponsible. The next year or so of Jasmine's life got more interesting. So bored she was with normal life that she began to get into trouble again, but in real life, you don't go to detention; you go to jail. Jasmine never tried anything big, but she had several write-ups for misconduct and trespassing. This culminated to two months ago, when Jasmine broke into her neighbor's house to find evidence that he was a terrorist working for ISIS (she found none). This time, she was given an offer by a judge; one week in prison or 60 hours of community service. Jail was boring, so she took community service. [/i][/indent] [U]Power[/U] [indent][i]Jasmine as the ability of extrasensory perception, ESP. With this ability, Jasmine can randomly just...know things. Basically the way it works is like this. If Jasmine were to, say, enter a room where someone had been murdered, without looking at it she could, for example, know exactly what wounds the victim sustained and what the murder weapon was. It works especially well when there is an exact, quantitative thing which Jasmine wishes to learn, such as the combination of a lock or whether someone is lying. Jasmine is never guaranteed to learn exactly what she wants to know, however. While she can sense things supernaturally, she cannot always control what she senses, and often she almost comically learns things that she never wanted to know. Caffeine, as it stimulates the mind, makes Jasmine’s ESP stronger. Jasmine's ESP also gives her a degree of enhanced reflexes, as she can sense when something is about to happen before it happens. As she has no combat training whatsoever and is fairly weak, this doesn't make her a superninja or anything like that, and it's not strong enough for her to dodge bullets or something, but it makes her very hard to hit. [/i][/indent] [U]Skills & Abilities[/U] [indent][i]Jasmine is good at breaking into places. She is naturally agile and is good at doing things such as picking locks or finding hiding places. Her highly-logical mind is also good at deducing information from evidence, and through watching and reading about detectives at work she has become fairly skilled at putting clues together to figure things out.
