[hider=Mr Gimmick]Name: Jake Coulson

Super Hero/Villain Identity: Mr Gimmick II 
Age: 63
Nationality: American
Location: Mobile

Appearance: 
Jake has brown hair going grey, light green eyes, clean shaved face, and a mole in the right cheek. He has an average body type for a person of his height, though his armor makes him look bulkier.

As Mr Gimmick, Jake uses a body armor that can be changed and modified depending on the theme he is using at the moment. The default Mr Gimmick costume uses green colored covers with a red G in the breast plate. The mask consists of a helmet with black goggles. Jake uses a fake blonde goatee attached to the face with theater glue both in this armor and any other costumes he may decide to wear.

Personality:
To Jake, being supervillainy is more than just being a criminal. It's about being an artist, with banks and jewelry stores as canvases and gadgets and powers as brushes. He takes the rules of villainy very seriously and doesn't like it when villains try to take a theme that's already taken. As Mr.Gimmick, Jake uses several themes, but considers it an earned privilege. He also won't borrow another villain's theme without permission. Jake is polite and respectful, both in and out of costume, though his Mr.Gimmick persona is also playful. He tries to act as a parental figure and mentor to younger villains.

Bio:
Some villains are in it for the money, others for power, and some for the fun. One of the latter was Jake's mentor Henry Walker, the original Mr Gimmick. He was the inventor of the campy supervillain archetype, who broke the law using a certain theme. This fad was quite popular during the 50s and 60s, and what drew Jake into villainy.

Jake became a villain at the age of 13. Back then he was little more than a bullied loser, until he met an older man, who told him about villains and how they did what they wanted and never let themselves get pushed around. From these lessons Jake gained confidence to confront his bullies and defeat them, while also gaining a friend and mentor in the man, Henry.

Throughout the following years, Jake spent nights and weekends causing mischief as Mr. Gimmicks minion, Problem Child. When his knack for technology was discovered, Henry incorporated them to their new heists. Life was good and exciting, until that dreadful day, when the Dark Age began.

Henry retired, depressed over the direction heroes had taken, and told Jake to leave supervillainy as well in fear of what the Darks would do to him. But eventually Dark Age ended as well and with them the old heroics returned. And with them Jake returned as the second Mr Gimmick.

But like his predecessor, Jake is getting old and soon needs to find a successor of his own. But who would be worthy of following such a legacy?

Equipment: 
At the moment Mr. Gimmick possesses the following:
-A body armor with interchangeable parts and colors. 
-A similarly easy to modify escape car. 
-A truck which he uses to carry the escape car and whatever other stuff he has with him.
- A bunch of calling cards with a red G.
- Current body armor parts include:
	- Grappler
	- Smoke grenades
	- Thieve's Tools
	- Goggles with multiple sights, including heat and night

Skills: Jake is a trained gadgeteer with some adventurer training, including boxing, added in, though he's using the gadgets more and more. Gadgets are designed with interchangeability in mind so that they can be reused multiple times. Jake is a talented escape artist and stage magician, which he uses to escape. He also knows a lot of creating costumes along with gadgets.
