Brooklyn New York Sex: Male Race: Kryptonian Height: 6’5 Weight: 230 Age: Birth Date: 21 July 21st 1998 -------- Costumed Appearance: [img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b1/05/82/b10582c770e11128d82f64d3069c363b.jpg[/img] Civilian Appearance: There is nothing spectacular about his civilian appearance. He is usually seen in a dark leather jacket and jeans with athletic sneakers. He is always clean shaven and his hair kept short and neat. Icon: Emblazoned S. A symbol of Strength on Krypton Costumed Personality: Bold and daring John knows little of fear. While he seeks to be the “good guy” John can be occasionally reckless and can be inconsiderate to the human population of the planet due to him struggling with his identity, role in the world and depth of his abilities. John is also incredibly cocky and often acts on impulse instead of thinking scenarios out. Civilian Personality: A bit anti-social with a superiority complex. All his life John was better than everyone, at everything causing him to constantly seek attention and live up to expectations but it also alienated people as his miraculous abilities have caused people to question his abilities and caused most people to keep their distance. Because of people’s lack of trust in him, John lacks trust in others and his failed parental relationships result in him having a deep seething danger and sadness inside as he wonders who he really is, where did he come from and what is his place in the world. Super abilities: -Skills:N/A -Powers: Solar Absorption: Despite all of his enhanced physical abilities John has noticed that his abilities are truly strengthened when exposed to the sun. Unaware of the true meaning, John has always found comfort in the sun rays and often feels a spike of energy the longer he stays within the sun rays. Super Strength: While John is unsure of the true extent of his power John has regularly been testing his abilities as he gone older. At the moment his greatest feat was being able to casually lift SUVs he’s found in a junk yard with one hand. Only other tests was when in a bout of anger John managed to punch a massive crater within the earth’s surface. The force was so strong it shook the surrounding area leaving John questioning just how much is he capable of. Super Speed: Another power John is unsure of his depths are. People have always been amazed at his incredible running speed, even as a child or even his hand speed when it came he used to workout in boxing gyms. His speed has evolved that it seems that even regular human eye cannot keep track of him even when John takes it “easy” Flight: After running away from home John used to experiment and go sight seeing as a ways of comforting himself. John didn’t realized he was capable of flight for some time and struggled but has managed to hone this power the best. Capable of easily going above super sonic speeds, John can fly in and out of atmosphere and often uses flight as a method of transportation when walking gets boring. Super Durability: Stamina has almost never been an issue as well as taking any form of damage. In fact John likely hasn’t been able to feel physical pain in some time despite being in a car accident or participating in fights at school. John remains unaware of his threshold Sight/Hearing: John has regularly been able to see or hear things normal beings cannot comprehend to the point John assumed it was natural all people share his traits. Whether its capable of eavesdropping on even the faintest of whispers or casually being able to track a flies movements if not downright capable of seeing details that a normal human wouldn’t be able to see without the aid of a telescope. Heat Vision: This is John’s least used super power. John has performed the feat only a dozen times but rarely uses it as it can be exhausted but also extremely dangerous. Capable of focusing intense energy from his eyes, John believes he can melt just about any man made object with said power though is hesitant to use it after nearly killing his father with it. -Gadgets: N/A -Weapons: N/A Civilian Occupation: None at the moment Biography--------- Character History/Origin: Jon was born on the planet Krypton, his father being a renowned general for the Krypton military. However shortly after his birth, Jon’s father sent him far away as a massive civil war erupted in Krypton with the war itself threatening to destroy the once mighty empire. Believing his son to have a special place in the universe while also attempting to keep him safe in the event his enemies sought him out, Jon was secretly flown out of Krypton and sent towards the planet Earth where it was believed that the yellow sun the planet was exposed too would strengthen and develop the young child. While unlikely, Jon’s father hoped for a scenario that maybe no matter how long it would take, Jon would come back with a solution to end the pettiness and chaos that consumed the home world. However Jon’s upbringing wasn’t one of complete ethics. An up and coming boxer named Anthony Rizzo and his young wife Sarah, stumbled upon the lost boy on the way home after a brutal fight. Despite taking a harsh beating Anthony took in his bout, the cries of a young infant, despite his odd origins made the wary parents sympathetic to the poor Kryptonian and opted to take him in as one of their own. It was rather helpful that the baby itself was wrapped in a cloak that resembled an S, to Anthony this was a sign of strength and with a new motivation in his life, surely his career was bound to take off.Anthony surged through the ranks making his way closer to the title but ultimately fell apart when his wife was caught in a tragic car accident. Despite the brutal crash that sent the car rolling down a hill, John remained completely unharmed. Some called it a miracle but Anthony caught in his frustration blamed the young boy his wife’s death. The relationship between father and son would never heal after that. In an attempt to reclaim his adopted father’s love, John did whatever he could to impress his father, mostly through athletics. Anthony however remained dismissive as he was too caught up in his depression and other personal demons. Ultimately it seemed the only way to get admiration from anyone was continually showcasing in athletics and John did not disappoint. Need a quarterback who can throw further, more accurately than anyone while being the best athlete on the team? Check. Need a sprinter who dominated any event whether it was sprints, distance or even field events? Check. Need a boxer who was not afraid to fight trained adults and constantly humiliate grown men? Check. For a time life was great, John was popular with the girls, all the other boys wanted to hang with him and soon he was receiving gifts and bribes as college coaches became convinced they were looking at a generation super athlete. Yet with age comes maturity or lack of it. As John got older people become more susceptible and downright envious. Trash talking became insults and words like freak or “cheater” began being tossed around despite no proof. John who was once adored found himself surrounded in negative attention which only fueled his rage and competitive spirit and the once humble athlete became a loud mouth who talked down and humiliated anyone who dared say a word to him. Yeah maybe he was the generation’s super athlete but he was also the school’s biggest prick. Anthony’s alcoholism and downward spiral continued even into John’s mid teens. After a harsh argument John nearly killed his father in a show of strength that surprised even the young man. He always had the strength, he always had the speed but he always held back enough. He knew there was something special but he always kept that reserve away when he realized the other kids simply couldn’t keep up with him. After nearly killing his father, John ran away from home and began to live out on the streets. It was supposed to be hard but John found himself using his physical advantages to his benefit. No longer bound by constraints of a school environment, John experimented with his abilities and got away with stealing or intimidating people into giving him what he wanted. This lasted for some time until John intervened to help prevent a child being run over by a drunk driver by placing his body in between the child and the vehicle. Seeing the child’s gratitude made John feel a sense of purpose but also reminded him to go home and see his father. Upon briefly reuniting with his father John finds himself searching for answers about his origin. All that he has right now is the space craft he was transported in along with some sort of suit that seemed meant for him... Optional information ---------- Nemesis: N/A Allies: N/A Team: N/A [/hider]
