[color=cornflowerblue][b]Physical Appearance[/b]:[/color] Quite gruff at first glance, Jaden, despite his rather short height, has a serious case of resting bitch face. His face is always an unamused scowl as he moves about life. He isn't the type that talks a lot either, he tends to keep his mouth shut unless he has something to say. Because Jaden is a man that's incredibly driven, and is hard to distract. That shows in his demeanor. That isn't to say that Jaden is unemotional, he sure has one hell of a smile, and a devilish laugh. But he tends to stay generally focused on the task at hand, rather than fool around. He takes small steps, and keeps his hands in his pockets. Jaden is African-American (Primarily Nigerian, and Angolan, but he has a little bit of Afro-Caribbean in there), fairly well-built from working out, and playing sports. He has the build of an NBA player, or one in training, with firm legs, and rather well-built arms from shooting hoops (and lifting weights). Though, Jaden definitely isn't the tallest for a basketball player. He is around five-six... which is literally an inch taller than the female average. He is ridiculed by some for his short stature, but he can feel glad that there are [i]some[/i] people out there even shorter than him. Some day he'll surround himself with short friends. [color=cornflowerblue][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Driven. Snarky. Composed. Art loving. Imaginative. Free-Spirited. Rebellious. Strong sense of Justice. Conflicted. Temperamental. Rash. Music loving. [color=cornflowerblue][b]Biography:[/b][/color] Jaden, like most, was born in Arcadia Bay, Oregon. He had two loving parents... well, not quite. Jaden's father, Wesley Othello, loved him quite a bit, and only wanted the best for him. However, Jaden's father seemed to have a strange complex where he wanted to live out his glory days through his son. You see, Wesley was an NBA player waaay back in the day for the Lakers, before he suffered a severe back injury while playing and had to put up the towel. Jaden, on the other hand, had little interest in sport, and instead, was born with an imagination like no other. He had a love of media such as movies, comic books, and animations, and wanted to make his own. Instead of sports, Jaden would rather spend time drawing, and writing stories that he would perfect through his ages. His father didn't like that, he wanted Jaden to succeed where he failed, whether he wanted to or not. Jaden declined, but his father was always a bit of a control freak. He practically forced Jaden to give up his arts, and sent him to Basketball camp, and whatever Basketball team he could. No matter how hard his father tried, he couldn't make Jaden give up his passion and innate-talent for art. It just became something that had to be kept a secret. The plus side to this is that Jaden had many friends that helped him develop proper social skills... though, it was always held back by his disdain of his father. He lashed out at the world because he can't lash out at his father. And he did that through some good old civil disobedience! Vandalism in the form of spray painting shit. It was the greatest form of modern artistic expression! The fun and games came to an end as Jaden aged, and decided that he wanted to head to Blackwell, one of the most prestigious schools that just so happen to be in Arcadia Bay. His family was wealthy enough, all he had to do was lie to his father that he was going to sign up for sports classes [i]there[/i]... then just lie, and actually sign up for the Art classes. His father fell for it, and Jaden went to the Blackwell Academy. Right now, he's just doing him. Living his life without his oppressive father telling him how to live.

Not exactly a flashy room, because Jaden isn't going full hipster with all the decorations. [color=cornflowerblue][b]Powers:[/b][/color] [i]Inner-Forest.[/i] Inside of Jaden's head is an esoteric "forest" of some kind. A dream-realm that he can enter through meditation (or while sleeping) that is essentially an endless forest with a dark-blue tint, that is transparent, and has a strange sky blue fog. Inside this realm, Jaden can examine his memories, and past thoughts - along with bringing others into the realm if they mediate alongside him, and can share their memories with him. If a telepath tries to enter his mind, they'll instead see his Inner-Forest in his mind's eye. The forest is inhabited by glowing blue animals, but that's apart of the other half of Jaden's ability. Jaden can summon an animal out of his Inner-Forest, and command them. These animals, as stated before, are a transparent dark-blue color. They function similarly to real animals (EX: A Bear he summons would be as strong and fast as a real bear, an elk would be fairly fast and dangerous with its horns, and so on). However, the smaller the animal, the further away they can go. With a mere-mouse being able to travel the furthest from Jaden at thirty-two meters away. A bear would [i]barely[/i] be able to leave his side. Jaden can only summon one animal out of his inner forest, and they aren't invulnerable. They can be destroyed by taking enough damage (A few rounds from a pistol should do, or one super strong punch), and if they are destroyed, Jaden will received a severe mental shock.
