[b][color=fff200]Abilities:[/color][/b] [b]Skilled Martial artist-[/b] Tiger have been taught in using Karate, Shaolin Kung fu, aikido, Judo, and Muay Thai [b]Athletic Physical Condition-[/b] Tiger is at about Olympic level physical condition when not using his powers [b]Tactile Telekinesis/Telekinetic Combat-[/b] This ability grants Tiger enhanced strength (Enough force to push/knock over up to a ton.), durability (Thanks to a telekinetic force field coating the body that can give him damage resistance), and the release of telekinetic pressure through his palm (a force that can push up to 500 pounds). This power allows Tiger to look as if he's using inner chi to fight with. [b][color=fff200]Weaknesses:[/color][/b] Though, having such great power at his disposal, he is not invincible. He has his limits. When not using his powers, he's just as vulnerable as a normal person (If he's unaware of a lethal or regular attack, he can be harmed easily). When using his power, it takes concentration to utilize the telekinetic force. If his power is used continuously in a drawn out fight, Tiger may get physically or psychologically fatigued or suffer straining. In severe cases: bleeding from the nose or eyes, falling unconscious, or possible physical injury. [b][color=fff200]Equipment:[/color][/b] [b]Eskirma Sticks-[/b] Tiger hates guns but he loves beating some ass with his fighting sticks. They are quite durable. [b][color=fff200]Bio:[/color][/b] Tiger was born to Benson and Olivia Jones on the South side of Maximum. His father, an army major and his mother, a nurse. During his early years, Tiger remembered seeing his father come and go on assignments which left him under the care of his mother the majority of the time. His mother tried to raise him right with positivity but where there's positives, there were negatives. When Tiger was 10, his cousin, Jody, was usually the one Tiger hung out with but because of Jody's influence and behavior problem, Tiger's mother didn't want him hanging out with Jody. Gang life, drugs, pimpin', violence....this was something that Tiger was exposed to by Jody since Jody's father was always in and out of jail. Now, Tiger never engaged in these activities since his mother inculcated what was good and bad into Tiger to be able to make the right decisions. Because of this, Jody started to change a bit, becoming aggressive towards Tiger. The people the hung out with Jody responded the same way towards him until Tiger got his first beating when he refused to do a drug deal for Jody and his friends. It didn't stop there when the southside started to become a little more rough. There were 2 incidents that involved someone mugging Tiger's mother and when a group of goons broke into their home, ransacked it and took all of their valuables. The police weren't doing anything it seems that no one could never catch these ones who were committing crimes. When depression hit his mother when her husband deserted them and she started taking drugs, Tiger traveled to a nearby dojo to train under an instructor so to gain some skill to defend himself. A few years passed, and crime got a little worse and some police were starting to show their corruption. Tiger was in his mid to late 20s when he personally stopped a mugging and attempted rape that a group of goons were trying on a teenage girl. With his various martial arts skills he picked up helped him in this case but like Maximum's finest, they show up after the fact and placed Tiger under arrest for aggravated battery when he was doing what the police were suppose to do. Being taken to the station while the goons were left without being taken in, Tiger out of rage, cursed the police for their irresponsibility and their lack of care for his community. In his cell, he met a weird old man who was in the cell with him that saw the frustration in Tiger, causing him to bring about the fact that there are beings out there that have more that enough capabilities to make a difference in Maximum. He asked Tiger what he'd do if he had power and with that, he responded "I'd clear out the trash and poison in my community that takes the shape of criminals, drugs, and corrupt law enforcement. People talk about heroes but we need ones that look out for the little man...and that's what the hell I'd do..." He said which caused the man to smile and swiftly make his way over to Tiger, to place his hand on his head, allowing Tiger's eyes to glow as his own before he let go and explained that now Tiger had the ability to do something about the problems in his neighborhood. He could do amazing things if he put his mind to it. Not knowing what the man did, Tiger was soon released back to his neighborhood where he ran into those goons he beat up before. They were at it once again as they followed a woman trying to hurry home. Tiger once against stood between them and their potential victim but this time, they had guns. not wanting to get close, The goons pulled their guns out, looking for revenge and shot towards Tiger and the girl he was protecting. He rushed over to cover her only to realize that he was harmed and when they reloaded, Tiger turned and pointed his palms towards them telling them to stop but unconsciously released a strong forces to knocked them all back and knocked them out. It took time to figure this out but as time went on, Tiger realized that the man in jail must've bestowed power upon him, learning what power he gained and trained more in his fight styles to utilize his power with it. Since then, his neighborhood has been fighting police brutality, drugs in their community, criminal activity and over all problems that needed to be addressed. With his involvement in trying to fight crime and constant battle in talking some sense into kids on the streets, especially ones like the phasing young man, Free-Roam. South Maximum is hopefully on the road to recovery. [b][color=fff200]Other info:[/color][/b] Tiger is a fan of oldschool martial arts films along with the blaxploitation movies his father once owned.
