Probably due to that scowl on her face, or that look of general irritation. Her voice is a bit gruff (due to all the smoking she does, but that is neither here nor there) and definitely doesn't help. Usually, she has a demeanor of someone that keeps to themselves, and that shows in how quiet she is. But, when she speaks, no one has a louder voice or presence than Jordan. Though, Jordan cannot walk with confidence, or even straight like other people her age do. Jordan walks with a heavy limp, as if she received a horrible injury when she was younger. She can still walk at the same pace as everyone else, but they can tell she has a problem. Closer examination tells that Jordan makes careful, and deliberate movements. Nothing sudden, or sloppy. Even as she runs, it looks like she's carefully making every single step to avoid tripping. But, the one thing that makes her stand out in Farmer Hill so much is heritage. Jordan is African-American in a town that is primarily white. Not a native of the township, however, her "city" (Philadelphian) accent. Jordan's skin is a much lighter shade of brown, almost tan. She's what's called "light-skinned." Jordan's skin is fairly good due to all the maintenence done to it, with only a few blemishes around her body. Jordan's hair is a black color with an afro-texture, and her lips are very large, and thick. Hardly disproportionate to her relatively same sized nose, with a thick nose-bridge, and nostrils. Her eyes are small, unturned, and her irises are a dark-brown color. Jordan's ears are a crescent-shape, and medium-sized. Jordan has plenty of tattoos all over her body. The most notable one is the weave of roses on the left side of her chest, above her breast. Going down her left thigh is three roses with abnormally long stems. On her right arm, she has a large tattoo that says "In Loving Memory of Madison Brown." But, on her right leg, there is a disgusting scar. It appears to be from surgery, but it also looks like her leg has been mangled to the point of no return. It's amazing that she can still stand up on her - but Jordan is more than willing to take barely standing than no standing. She also has a few piercings. On her ears, nose, belly-button, and nipples. Jordan's build is fairly thin, and well-toned. She's in no means muscular, but she has some definition to her body. Of course, this tone appears to be fading, but Jordan still retains some body definition from before the accident. Her active metabolism, good eating habits, and exercise help her stay in shape. Because the last thing that Jordan wants is to become a land whale. Accident or no.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Lightcoral][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Look, all you need to know about me is that confident, and proud of myself. Don't ever forget that or I'll remind ya', sweetie."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=Lightcoral][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan had one goal in life: becoming the world's best musician, and putting her passion into music. Spreading it all across the world, and letting the world enjoy her art. Nowadays, she still wants to be a musician, but she also wants to get over this deep-seated guilt, and find happiness in anyway possible. [color=Lightcoral][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan's philosophy is a simple one; people have one life, and one life only. That life is too short to hold onto grudges, but too long to go into it without planning. She thinks that too many people find reasons to be unhappy, rather than just making the most out of life. She believes that everyone is worthy of respect, even if they don't deserve it, and that other people should do the same. Jordan believes her character is strong because she isn't afraid to admit where she's wrong, and is honest with her emotions, and passions, above all else. [color=Lightcoral][b]SECRETS ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan doesn't have any notable secrets (other than that time she ate her roomie's cake (that shit was good, though)). [color=Lightcoral][b]DESIRES ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan wants to be remembered (and remembered fondly) above all else. She doesn't go out of her way to put people down, and tries to support people the best she can. So, she'll be remembered for everything she does. [color=Lightcoral][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan is heterosexual, but she feels her sexuality is fluid. Anyone that'd comfort her. There were times she kissed a girl. But, maintains that she is attracted to boys above all else. [color=Lightcoral][b]FEARS ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan, as you may have expected, fears being forgotten. She looked to many people in her family's past, and realized how little people knew them, and how little they accomplished. How little they were remembered. Which is why she wants to be the one person to stand out. Jordan also has a slight phobia of alcohol, after the accident that destroyed her leg. She's mostly afraid of what she'll do under the influence. Not anything that causes her to freeze in fear, but she avoids it. [color=Lightcoral][b]REPUTATION ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan's reputation in Farmer Hill is relatively poor due to her skin color. Few people know her other than being "the black city girl." In Grand Ridge Academy, however, her reputation is a lot better, due to her kind attitude. [color=Lightcoral][b]PET PEEVES ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan hates excessive drinking, and people who brag about drinking. She avoids those kinds of people like the plague. [color=Lightcoral][b]QUIRKS ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan has a habit of constantly adjusting her appearance. Fixing her hair, adjusting her clothes, etc. Almost as if it's imperfect, and needs constant correction. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Lightcoral][b] BACKSTORY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Don't worry about my past, worry about my future."[/i] [indent][indent]Jordan was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a relatively lower-class family. She didn't have the best upbringing, but definitely made the best of it. Most importantly, she was never alone. She, not only had a big family, but a knack for befriending people. She seemed to be borned with a special kind of charisma. These people taught Jordan morality, and the importance of basic human decency... to a point. She definitely wasn't one to take bullying, and lashed back as hard as they did. She did the best she could to befriend as many people as possible. It wasn't long before Jordan's interest in music developed into something more. It became a passion. It started with music class at school, and then it evolved into wanting a guitar. Her parents could barely afford it, but they got it for her for her birthday. It was difficult for her to learn with no teacher, but she found every way she could. Until she knew the guitar like the back of her hand. A friend teaching her helped. As the years went by, Jordan's passion for the guitar remained. Regardless of what mood she was feeling. Eventually, she tried singing... with mixed results. Either way, Jordan wanted to do it for a living, even though everyone told her that it was a terrible idea, but she didn't listen. She was happy, and that was the way she was going to live. One of the people to encourage her was Madison Brown, one of the cousins she knew as long as she could remember. Madison encouraged Jordan to do whatever made her happy, and was the closest link in her extended family. If there was someone Jordan would tell someone, it would be Madison. Hitting highschool, Jordan hit it off with the "popular crowd." The kind of kids with no sense, that everyone wanted to be. All because of her personality, and attitude. She was the person who kept them in line, in a sense, while also enjoying the benefits they had to offer. Such as status, and a good time. She helped her cousin Madison get into this crowd, and that enriched the experience for Jordan. This experience went on, Jordan felt like she was on top of the world. Until she hit graduation... and the worst day of her life took place. She and her friends went on a hardcore night of debauchery. Full of drinking, sex, and partying like it was the last day of their young lives. Jordan was driving them around, drinking like a fool. On a dare, Jordan ran a light, and was hit by another car. The car was sent flying, and Jordan hit another car. The car was horribly mangled, and Jordan was impaled through the leg with a steel beam. The rest of her occupants weren't doing any better, were either badly wounded or... in the case of Madison Brown, dead. Bust her head open when the second car hit her. Jordan didn't even get to see it, as she had passed out due to traumatic shock. She woke up in a hospital, and was told what happened. What happened to Madison... and was sent into a deep descent. Jordan was catatonic for a day straight as she processed what happened. She was consumed by guilt, she felt responsible for what happened to her cousin. She took some time off from her passion to come to term with what happened. Though, her leg was badly injured, and she would never walk the same again. Hell, it took [i]months[/i] of physical therapy to learn how to walk again. Then it tooks even more months of psychological therapy to come to terms with how reckless and stupid she was back then, and how it cost someone their life. She promised that she would never do something like that again. Then she turned to the guitar to alleviate stress, and remembered her goal in life. Becoming one of the best guitarists the world has to offer, and hell if she was going to let a bad leg stop her. Her parents surprised her with an acceptance letter to Grand Ridge Academy. Before shipping her off to Montana... and one of the biggest changes of pace of her life.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Lightcoral][b] SKILLS & TALENTS [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"I'm a musician sweetheart, you're gonna hear me on the radios, soon."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=Lightcoral][b]Guitar ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan had that musical touch from a young age. Almost literally, as she can play a guitar like a madman. It doesn't matter what kind, but Jordan prefers the acoustic guitar. [color=Lightcoral][b]Singing ⫻[/b][/color] While her singing voice isn't the best out there, she knows how to work with it. Years upon years of singing classes, and talent shows, have made Jordan into a great singer. Her tone changes are great, and she never sings off key. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Lightcoral][b] ABSTRACTION [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"... And everything froze. I thought it was just a shock kind of thing, but literally nothing moved... except for you."[/i] [indent][indent] [color=lightcoral][b]SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻[/b][/color] [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/26/2c/2e/262c2e980f570a0bb7cb68aeb509804c--glyphs-symbols-inspiring-tattoos.jpg]The symbol of an hour-glass, large and placed on her back.[/url] [color=Lightcoral][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] Temporal-Pausing, the ability to stop time, while being able to freely move. [color=Lightcoral][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan ironically gets the one Abstraction that could have saved her cousin. The ability manifests in creating a temporal field around herself in a six meter dome. Inside this dome, everything else is frozen in place, but Jordan (and by that extent, other Awakened, as their resistance to each other's powers render them immune to Temporal pausing) are able to move freely. While everything is static, Jordan is able to manipulate the environment by touching it. However, she is unable to manipulate people, who are entirely immutable during Temporal-Pausing. Which means she cannot injure anyone inside the field. Outside the field, paused time is entirely imperceptible to normal people, they just won't notice it - but can be frozen if they enter it. Awakened can see the field, and stopped time. The duration of temporal pausing is somewhat short, around fifteen seconds, before time resumes. Once time resumes, any changes that Jordan make will instantly happen. Almost as if she had teleported. However, this isn't a voluntary ability, she has to be in a state of intense stress (I.E be threatened) for it to activate - along with having to perceive the danger. It's almost like a fight or flight reaction. It has a couple minute cooldown before she can do it again. [color=Lightcoral][b]IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻[/b][/color] The mountain extends the range of the temporal field to eighteen meters, which is fairly distant. In addition, the extension of the temporal field is greatly increased to forty-five seconds. Which makes her Abstraction much more powerful. The mountain also grants the ability to voluntarily stop time... but only at a short range, and for around five seconds. She requires thirty seconds before she can voluntarily stop time again. [color=Lightcoral][b]AURA SENSING ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan's aura-sensing is connected to fear. If someone is feeling a heightened amount of fear in a seven-two meter radius, Jordan will be able to see their auras.
