The Super-Star. Revolver. Wizard.[/i][/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Gender:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Male[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Age:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]29[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Height:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]6'4ft[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Weight:[/b][/color] [INDENT]231lb[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Home District:[/b][/color] [INDENT]From out of town, staying in his beach house in Oakdell Harbor.[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][h3][b][u]Appearance[/u][/b][/h3][/color] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Hair Color:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Black[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Eye Color:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Brown[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Ethnicity:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Brazilian, African-American, & Italian.[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Physical Appearance:[/b][/color] [INDENT]A man with a very large presence. Whenever Johnny steps in, he tends to catch the eyes of everyone in the room. Whether it's his swagger, or the peculiar way he dresses (I'll get on that later). Johnny is flamboyant, and dresses with much flash as his personality. Johnny is just the kind of guy that walks into a club like he owns the bitch, taking the largest steps in the process. People think he's odd at first glance (Or a stupid wannbe pimp). Though, this aura around him is an aura of arrogance and condescension. It's the way he speaks and carries himself that makes it obvious that he thinks highly of himself, and far, far, less of everyone else around him. He doesn't take things seriously, and most importantly, is certainly loud and flashy. He always has a cocky grin on his face regardless of what he's facing. Perhaps he overcompensating for somethings. It isn't just his personality that has a large presence. Johnny is a tall man at six-four, and has a slender, slightly muscular, build. He doesn't have enough muscle to make the ladies go "wow," but he definitely has something from all the hard work the man does. Though, it's apparently that he takes time off his day to workout. Johnny's skin is a light-brown - near-caramel - color from his ethnicity. Johnny is part Brazilian (A mix of Afro-Brazilians, and the Brazilians who descended from the Spaniards), part African-American, and part Italian. His mother was an Italian woman, while his father was African-American/Brazilian. It's hard to tell him as anymore than Spanish from his facial features. The rest of his family is predominantly Brazilian, so he just tells everyone that he's Brazilian. That skin of his, while a delicious shade of caramel, is far from clear. Johnny has a large amount of scars from his various adventures, as a sign of his hardships. The first scar he has is a scar on his face... A burn scar on his cheek right under his eye. It's red, and disgusting - and worst of all, people keep calling him "Prince Zuko" because of it (Shit's wack, yo). It's one scar that he does not like talking about. Another wound that Johnny has is a three-claw point scar that has slashed from one side of his chest, to the other, sideways. It is a brutal sight, and people ask where he got it from... and he keeps saying, "From my little brother Jaska." Johnny also has various scars on his fingers that look like bite-marks from an animal - one finger even looks surgically reattached... also from his little brother Jaska. Other than that, has various wounds from cuts (that one knife fight he got into was a biiiitch), and other injuries. If you guessed that Johnny would have tattoos, you were totally right. On his arms are a complex web of fire in a tribal style that starts at his shoulders, and goes down to his wrists. Integrated into this fire is a network of roses, and whatnot. On the base of his neck he has a large tattoo of a rose flower, which is visible depending on what he's wearing. On his chest is a [url=http://www.clipartkid.com/images/499/10-tribal-fire-dragon-tattoos-designs-free-cliparts-that-you-can-7iTjW4-clipart.jpeg]Dragon wreathed in flames[/url]... well, mostly. When he got slashed across the chest, the tattoo was pretty ruined. He just hasn't been arsed to get it removed. Johnny's facial features are heavily South-American, but with a touch of Africa. His head is wide and rectangle-shaped, with his facial features being heavily squared, pronounced, and well-defined. He has a large, and bulky chin, one that has a cleft in between it. His ears are medium-sized, and thin, not too notable, they have a subtle point at the very top. His nose is quite small, with a long bridge and thin nostrils. He has another subtle point at the very tip of it. His cheeks are quite flat, and lack the roundness that most other cheeks would. His lips are wide full for a male, but they're thin and small. He usually keeps them tucked in. Inherited from his mother is his eyes. His eyes are medium sized, pointed at the tips, and are brown. His eyes are easily the best looking eyes on the entire planet! Usually Johnny's facial expression is either a cocky grin, an annoyed/bored look, or a slasher smile. Johnny's hair is kept in a neatly slicked back style. It is straight and is neck length. It's a very black color and very well groomed.[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Attire:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]The one thing that makes Johnny stand out is his rather... peculiar choice in clothing. To put it simply: Johnny dresses like a 80's Pimp in the modern era. No lie. He wears a long coat that is either brown, black, or white, and a matching wide-brimmed hat (With a feather, shark-tooth, etc), and underneath that hat are sunglasses. These coats are the most fabulous, well-made, pieces of fabric out there, and you best recognize. Most importantly, Johnny carries around a black cane. This is just one of many canes. Johnny's favorite attire is an all-brown outfit that consists of a longcoat, a wide-brimmed hat, slacks, sunglasses, brown leather gloves, and a black leather belt with a large buckle. This isn't just any longcoat, it has many false pockets and secret compartments - where he hides his two Smith & Wesson 617's. Though, while Johnny loves to dress flashy, he can easily pull off a more subtle outfit if the need arises. Johnny pulls off a suit well![/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][h3][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Johnny Valos is dude that hates everyone, and is a total cold asshole, until you get to know him and he'll love you forever. Haha, just playing with you. Johnny is many, many, things, but nice sure as hell ain't one of them. He's a man that grew up with rich people, and got the idea in his head that he's the shit. He has a gigantic ego, and is borderline narcissistic because of how much he thinks of himself. He is definitely cocky, arrogant, son of a. He won't hesitate to talk down to people like they're nothing, and utterly take nothing seriously. If there's one thing this man is good at, it's utterly pissing everyone off just by being him. He's obsessed with fast cars, fancy clothes, women, and money, and he won't hesitate to take out anyone if it means he's one step closer to his goal. So who cares what the softies of the world think? A cunning trickster, Johnny is easily able to put on masks, and whatnot to get what he wants. Johnny is quite the charmer. It's that aura of confidence around him, and his way with words that allow him to play people like cards in a casino. Oh, speaking of which, Johnny's got one hell of a love for casinos, and whatnot - and has a badass pokerface. If necessary, he won't even let himself budge for a second, and that's what lets him get over on people. While he's arrogant as shit, it is possible to get him to respect someone. It'll be a task, but he mostly looks for someone's character - because he already has skills, good looks, money - what else can people offer him? If someone has a strong will, and a similar love for their family, he may come to respect them. In addition, if someone ups him enough, that person can easily get Johnny off his ego train - but that'll take [i]many[/i] blows to his near-unbreakable pride and ego. Johnny definitely isn't the type to hang around losers, and nobodies. You either gotta be a good looking lady, rich, have a high status, or has something he wants, or he'll ignore your existence like he would step over an ant. Though, he is definitely one to get quickly annoyed. When people, and other losers, tend to waste his time, or act like they're on his level, he'll definitely lash out at that. Johnny is a complete dickwad, and will insult people with some of the most flowery insults he can come up with. Insulting everything they know and love. Johnny is definitely the type to escalate things to violence if it gets to that point. One thing that Johnny loves is the ladies, baby! He ain't no pimp for nothing. Johnny has a love for the cuties with the prettiest faces offered by nature. Though it takes more than just a pretty face to arouse Johnny's interest. It also requires a big behind, and a giant chest - or at least a moderately sized one. If you have those, then expect Johnny to be all over you. Johnny is definitely a charmer, and knows his way around the ladies of the world. Though, he doesn't see them as any more than his "personal accomplishments," or just free ass. He's definitely a hit-it and quit it type. It goes without saying that Johnny is a Chaotic-Neutral. He will do whatever the hell he wants. Whether it suits his purposes or not. He has no respect for rules and authority, and while he is more than willing to play nice, once it starts being an obstacle, then, well, rules are meant to be broken. He's more of a mercenary - he just does what he wants, good or bad, long as there's something to gain out of it. Johnny is willing to kill for his goals. Because, hell, he's killed before, why not do it again? Though, he isn't a monster, he will draw the line at some point, and he won't go on rampages killing innocent civilians (Well, if he was offered trillions of dollars, yes). Fortunately, he has his fellow siblings to be his moral compass. Underneath all of the confidence and bravado, of course, Johnny has another side. He is very cynical, and cold. This world hasn't been pretty to the Valos boy, and he definitely hasn't come out worse for wear. He'll often, when alone and with close friends, brood. He's much more somber and humble out of the eyes of the world. Two things that go well together is the fact that he's very observant, and he's untrusting. The first thing he does whenever he enters a room is give it a good look, and give the people in it an ever better look. Constantly deducing who could and couldn't be a threat to him, and who could actually be helpful. While Johnny is cynical, he is also very good at guessing people's true motives - With 70% accuracy. He almost never takes things at face-value and always assumes there's a motive under the motive. Which means it can be hard to fool Johnny. Even though he doesn't have a lot of love for this world, one thing Johnny loves above all else is the Valos Family. The only people that are close to him are his large amount of siblings, and he will do anything to protect them. Even throw himself into the fire. They're the only people who can easily steer Johnny off a dark path, and the people he'll always help above all else. Because friends and bitches can be replaced, blood can't. [/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Johnny [i]fucking [b]LOVES[/b][/i] casinos. He's a gambler, but he was always a lover of card games. You can say he's has a casino motif because he just loved the style. He is also a gambler, and would gamble over just about anything. Johnny is also a lover of older movies, his favorite being James Bond movies (He's always fancied himself a James Bond), and Blaxploitation films (Where he got his pimp suit ideas from!). Like I stated several times, Johnny loves fast cars, women, and fancy clothes. Be careful, though, he'll begin to drone on and on about his money.[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]Johnny is a master at poker. If you play him, you better be ready to lose your money, your clothes, and your house because Johnny is killin' it! He's also adept at other casino games, but it'll never match his talent with cards, baby! Now, Johnny has spent plenty of time around the shadier people, and he has certainly picked up a few things. Crime is Johnny's specialty, and he knows how to deal with the criminal underworld. Though, he mostly just gets information from them, everything else is just so messy that he just doesn't deal with it. Johnny has picked up recreational shooting, and eventually, through... experience, is able to apply it to a live gunfight. His aim isn't perfect, but if something gets too close, Johnny will shoot it dead. He doesn't know how to shoot anything other than a pistol - revolvers being his specialty (Hence his nickname). In addition, he knows a variety of gun tricks. Such as gun twirling, a tactic he uses to impress, and intimidate. Johnny is also pretty sharp and observant, good at guessing motives and whatnot. He's also hard to trick. Brawlin' also comes easy to Johnny, well, he needs to fight because he's one hell of a shit-talker. He knows no martial arts training, but he only needs his good looks, and a cane! Johnny also knows how to speak fluent Portuguese, despite having gone to Brazil once. Just something he picked up because of his largely Brazilian family.[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Goals/Motivation[/b][/color] [INDENT]Johnny's goal in Baybridge is to search for his two sisters - Sylvia Baccili, Camille, and Ivete Valos - who have been kidnapped by the Founding Family, and transformed into Secretaries. While the Family has been defeated, Johnny and the Valos siblings have received a lead that pointed them in the direction of Baybridge.[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]History/Bio:[/b][/color] [hider=0.1 Story of Andre Ramiah][INDENT]To explain Johnny's past, we must take a look at someone else': Andre Ramiah. You see, Andre Ramiah was a poor kid who grew up in Stadium City in the era before the Tyrants moved in (Well, there's a reason for that, so we'll get to it). When he was young, he hung around a pair of girls that would eventually be known as Blizzard, and Queen Carmelita, a pair of powerful telekinetics. Meeting their adopter, a woman who goes by the name, "Barracuda," Andre joined their little circle of crime and was mentored in criminal philosophy. Starting off with small crimes, and working his way up. Eventually, spending his time around so many Metahumans allowed him to activate his superpower. An interesting ability at that... receiving extra-sensory instructions how to complete any goal that he set his mind to. He became the brains of the group, setting up small crimes, and eventually building up a small gang of similar minded Metahumans. Eventually, the girls told Andre of their greater goals; a criminal empire. And Andre helped them fulfill that goal. It took years upon years of work as Andre recruited an army and amassed an empire... but, they did it, they toppled Stadium City, and the existing criminal organizations. Leaving only the Tyrants. All of them basically had an empire to themselves, and made tons of many through many, many, many, deals. But, that wasn't the life little Andre wanted, playing lapdog to someone more powerful. He wanted a life of wealth and fame for himself. Andre looked to his ability for instructions how to achieve that. He managed to steal a large sum of cash from the Tyrants, and went into hiding, changing his identity so those pesky Tyrants would have a hard time tracking him. When he came out... he was [i]Jason Valos[/i]. Using this massive wealth of his, Jason managed to purchase an expensive club... and using a few deals (some shady), he managed to build himself an empire of clubs, five-star hotels, fancy restaurants, and best of all, casinos! Eventually, he was showered with the wealth that he couldn't have gotten without his power. His name became known from all over, and he built up a massive family from many marriages (and booty calls)...[/INDENT][/hider] [hider=Johnny Valos; the Highroller, the Wizard... The Fool][indent]Johnny's story started when his father met Anne Bacilli at a famous actor's party. He seduced the woman, and she got pregnant with his child. She told him that she was pregnant, and wanted Jason to take responsibility for his child, but Jason was already married, and merely kept handing her checks to keep quiet. Which was enough to keep Anne happy. She eventually gave birth to Johnny in New Orleans - her home city - and bought an expensive house with all the money Jason was secretly funneling her. When Johnny was around four, his mother found another relationship in a man named Giovanni, and they quickly got married and gave him his little sister, Sylvia. The only problem was that Johnny was somewhat neglected on the moment Sylvia was born. Don't get me wrong, his mother still loved him, but his stepdad didn't want to raise any kids that weren't his own, and his mother was too busy with Sylvia to reign in his behavior. So he was without a solid father figure, and his mother wasn't exactly winning any parent of the year awards. His school-life was where he learned plenty of things - not in the way of education a la math and science, but how the world works and plenty of street smarts. He wasn't taught much about morality, or what was right and wrong, so he quickly got the idea that life was all about him. So he became a bit of a trouble-maker. Not starting fights, but he'd use anything he could to get ahead (and not just in school). He thought of everyone around him as a tool, and consequently worthless. He didn't care about them or their feelings. This quickly became a worrying trend in school. Since he was making enemies fast, and causing trouble that someone else had to clean up. Plenty of times he came home beaten, or sent to detention. Once he was around fourteen, his mother had enough of it, and sent Johnny to go live with his father in Black Fall... even though his mere existence nearly destroyed his marriage (Again), Jason accepted Johnny into his arms. Inducting Johnny into a life that he could only dream about, he taught Johnny the ways of the rich people, and was probably a worse presence on Johnny than his mother. Now, he basically had no one to rein him in - except for shitty maids and butler that didn't do shit. He loved the rich boy lifestyle as he went about his brand new life. Becoming thoroughly arrogant and egotistical. A total jackass that only seemed to enjoy annoying his father. Though, he was introduced to his family of siblings, the older Valos, and the younger Valos... and eventually, they all had adventures, and all sorts of wacky things, as they went about in the largest concentration of Metahumans in the world. To say the least, the entire Valos family has seen some shit. Fights caused by Johnny, or a random villain trying to get over on the Valos, the headaches for Jason never seemed to end. Growing up with the Valos Family, Johnny definitely picked up poker, and other casino games as a hobby. Though, Johnny made trips back to New Orleans to spend time in his home city! Most importantly, spending time with his young sister Sylvia. Eventually bringing her back to Black Fall one summer and introducing her to the Valos. It was a shaky start, but eventually they became the closest of friends. As Johnny was growing older, he had time to pick up some hobbies of his. Such as recreational shooting, one thing that he was pretty good at. He thought revolvers were badass, and became the king of a revolver. Along with becoming pretty good at poker. In a manner of years of practice and experience, Johnny was closer and closer to becoming the movie badass he dreamed of being. Though, there was a wrench thrown in that whole plan... there was a young child left on the doorstep that looked an [i]awful[/i] lot like Jason. Except with the appearance of a demon. Wings, teeth, claws, and having the abilities of a powerful Bestial-type Metahuman. The boy was named Jaska Aoki... and Jason remembered the name as some broad he banged from the White Spider Society. While there was [i]much[/i] questioning as to why Jason would have sex with a Bestial-type Metahuman of that appearance, Jaska was accepted into the family. Taking the name of Jaska Valos, he was integrated into the family as the youngest member. To say the least, Jaska wasn't exactly all that well regarded among the Valos family. He was treated as an outcast by the siblings, and more importantly, Gabrielle. However, Johnny was the only person to give Jaska the time, and the one who became the closest to him. Jake helped, but Johnny was the main help. Eventually, Jaska became the little brother that all the Valos knew and loved, and everyone loved him. However, that idyllic dream was shattered one night. It was a nice summer night in Black Fall, where all of the Valos were relaxing, of course. Jaska's animal instincts were flaring up, and he was finding himself to be far more aggressive than normal. He attacked Gabriel, and in her rage, she called him a "little devil." Unaware of what she did, Gabe had unintentionally activated the side of Jaska's power that should have remained hidden. The "Inner-Beast" that all of those who share the Aoki blood have. A powerful hidden form that is monstrous. The young Jaska transformed into this immense beast, and went on a rampage throughout the Valos manor. During this rampage, there was an immense amount of pain and suffering on both sides. The Valos didn't want to hurt Jaska, but Jaska was causing them physical harm. A massive battle took place, which Johnny was too shocked to do anything in. During the end of the battle, Jaska grabbed Gabe, and pinned her to the ground. Violently pulling out her eyeball. Johnny jumped in and tried to help her... and nearly got his face slashed open for this moment of altruism. However, Jaska was dispatched by the Jason family... at the cost of many wounds, and the Valos mansion. The family was rushed to the hospital, but when probed about what happened, they refused to give Jaska up. Instead, they paid off the authorities to say it was some Metahuman goon trying to rob them. Where does this concern our superstar? Well, in the hospital, Johnny started feeling weird. He saw something around the people around him - an aura, as you would say. When talked to by a NEST representative, he realized that he manifested a superpower. And now he felt like a [i]real[/i] Valos. After everyone's wounds healed, it was time to pick up the pieces! The Valos Manor was in ruins, and it would be months before it would be completely repaired. Of course, it meant the Valos needed to find somewhere else to live, and Jason had just the solution! The Valos children head to Academy 218 while the repairs go on. So, they can learn how to use their powers, and Jason doesn't have to worry about his stupid kids getting into trouble. Johnny declined, but Jason sent him anyway. Arriving in Alaska, Johnny only had one option: it fucking sucked. He didn't enjoy it there at the academy at first, but the Valos siblings loved it. Though, he warmed up to it after seeing all the smokin' hot babes there. And in the process, Johnny learned all about his ability. Though, at this point, the Verthaven Disaster happened, and everything changed. Suddenly, the Academy got a lot more crowded, and the political climate seemed a lot less accepting of Metahumans. It didn't bother Johnny - because he was up here in paradise! But, it definitely burned him in the ass after he was caught having sex with the headmaster's daughter, and kicked out of the Academy. Well, no biggie. Johnny knew he could just go back to the Valos manor while his siblings finished the Academy program. [i]Wrong.[/i] Since Johnny was in his early twenties at this point, Jason felt no need to continue babying Johnny (and quite frankly, he knew his son was an ass). With a limited supply of cash, Johnny went back to New Orleans. The last place where he wanted to be, and fell back to doing the same old shit he was used to. The old gang he grew up with had grown up, and found new... profitable opportunities in the criminal underworld. Something that Johnny welcomed with open arms. He became a mercenary. A gangster that worked for the highest bidder. Using his knowledge of gunplay, fighting skills, and new superhuman ability, Johnny became known as "The Revolver." Named after his weapon of choice Johnny offered dirty deeds done dirt cheap to the highest bidder. To being a hitman, to a drug runner, to just a bodyguard. This vicious cycle went on for several years... until Johnny's greed got the best of him. There was a giant assembly of gangs coming together to take over the city ala the Tyrants. Johnny had the [i]bright[/i] idea to try to axe the gang leaders and become the head of this glorious empire. While Johnny was good, they were veterans at the game. Johnny killed one, and the rest of them ganged up on him, and nearly killed him. Sent him running out of New Orleans with his tail between his legs, and a price on his head. He had no choice but to [i]beg[/i] Jason to take him back, and while Jason knew that Johnny was an idiot for trying it, Jason did the same thing earlier. He took Johnny back into the rebuilt Valos manor, where the entire Valos family were because they were on summer vacation. Everything was going perfectly, and Johnny was keeping his head down (Lest he wanted to lose it). Relaxing with his family... but, there was another family that Jason had his eyes on. In the shadows, there was an organization running just about everything from the shadows. The Founding Family. Jason knew they had fingers in everybody's pie and he wanted a piece of it! Jason decided to have a meeting with the Family at the Valos Manor, and they came. Blake Schmidt came with his cronies, and the two great men decided to work out an arrangement. However, Jason tried to swindle Blake, and it ended badly when he saw through it. Oh, so, badly. Blake was offended, and decided to teach the Valos a lesson. A massive battle took place between the Founding Family, and the Valos... a fight that [i]everyone[/i] (including the Valos children) was fighting. It was definitely a savage battle, but one the Valos couldn't win. One by one, they fell, until it was just Johnny. Johnny tried to take on Blake alone... and received that ugly scar over his face. Johnny had no choice but to retreat as Blake kidnapped his siblings, and burned the manor to the ground. With one of his brothers being a casualty, and Jaska being the only other person to get away. After licking his wounds, Johnny sure as hell wasn't going to let the Family do whatever they wanted to his siblings. They sent the Intimidation Unit after Johnny, and he had to fight them off. Eventually he managed to catch a lead on the Family, and found his siblings... enslaved. Under some kind of weird mind control. Johnny tried to break them free, but he was always attacked by the IU. Johnny waged an invisible war against the Family, launching hit and run until... he recovered Jake. Under the effects of Mechanized Memories, Jake wasn't who Johnny remembers. Under Johnny hit him with some emotional energy, and Mechanized Memories was removed. Explaining the situation to him, Johnny convinced Jake to come along with him to try and free the others... only for the fall of the Founding Family to take place, and it was a mess. Fortunately, many of the Secretaries were set free... including Gabriela. Unfortunately, Ivete, Camille, and most importantly to Johnny... Sylvia, were nowhere to be seen. Which meant they had to be found. The Valos Family were going to be reunited one way or another. For the next three years, the family went on a journey looking for their missing sisters. Finding Jaska in the process, and taking odd jobs to make money. However... they eventually got a lead in Baybridge. [/indent][/hider] [color=Saddlebrown][h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Family:[/b][/color] [hider][INDENT]Anne Bacilli - Mother [INDENT]Jonathan's mother and him have never gotten along that well. Johnny was always a hellion for her, and just caused her so many problems. The woman was the daughter of an Italian Architect that Jason had sex with, and got her pregnant with his child. To keep her quiet about it not to jeopardize his relationship with his wife, he payed her money. But, not even money was worth Johnny, and she sent him to the Valos family. Eventually, she married a man named Giovanni that her father had set her up with, and eventually had Sylvia. Despite all of their conflicts, Johnny still loves his mother dearly, and keeps in touch with her to the best of his ability.[/INDENT] Jason Valos - Father [INDENT]Jason Valos (Formerly Andre Ramiah), the man that started it all. Jason is a man that had former ties with the Tyrants, whom he helped reach the position where they were before with his powerful cerebral ability. With the money he had accumulated, Jason left them on good terms, and started his casino entire with the help of the White Spider Society. It wasn't long until Jason had clubs all over America - eventually spreading to Brazil as well - and was rolling in the dough. Jason is the epitome of Valos; a greedy, arrogant, womanizer that cheats on his wife constantly. But, he still loves his family in the end, and gave his kids the money they need to succeed in life. Jason was pretty busy with running his business, but has ties and associations with many different high-classed people (Including Jiao-Long Liu). Jason, has a very powerful Cerebral ability - just not in the way you'd expect. Basically, his power subconsciously gives him instructions as to how to complete a specific goal (While not being the most practical at times). He used this power to reach the top, and stay there... though, he made a mistake when he tried to make a deal with the Founding Family. In his greed, the Family had betrayed Jason, and kidnapped his children to turn into Secretaries in a spectacular incident. Though, it's unknown what happened to him and his wife. Both are missing.[/INDENT] Gabrielle Valos - Step-Mother [INDENT]An African-American woman that was the daughter of a oil company owner. Jason had seduced her, and the two fell in love with each other, and getting married. Becoming the wife he has held for the longest amount of time... though, not without cheating on her with several different women. It's amazing she hasn't left him yet - probably because of the money. Though, she makes it clear that she is displeased with her husband - which leads into her firey temper. She has a huge temper - one that she has passed down to her daughter. Gabrielle is also a Metahuman, who has the ability to shoot laser beams, create shields out of energy, and fly. Unfortunately, she too has gone missing with Jason.[/INDENT] Jake Valos - Brother [INDENT]The shining star of the Valos siblings. Jake and his twin sister Gabriella was Gabrielle's firstborns. Jake in particular is the calm, level-headed one, who's taken the role of moral compass for the more amoral Valos. Despite being the kindest out of the bunch, Jake is somewhat confrontational, and condescending - but still has the best interests at heart. Jason was grooming Jake into being his successor because of his leadership qualities, and the boy was becoming the face of the Valos. Even becoming Lin Liu's (daughter of Jiao-Long Liu) boyfriend. Unfortunately, once the Founding Family betrayed the Valos Family, Jake was kidnapped and transformed into a Secretary. It was fortunate that Johnny was able to find him, and purge Mechanized Memories from his system, reverting him back to his former self. Jake now joins Johnny in his quest to find Ivete, Camille, and Sylvia. Jake has a powerful illusionist ability that allows him to manifest his illusions in reality instead of the mind, these illusions were so complex and realistic that they were able to fool the senses.[/INDENT] Joshua Valos - Brother [INDENT]Joshua was born in a previous marriage of Jason, along with his younger sisters Ivete and Camille. Joshua was haughty, and willing to abuse his powers, but was the more reclusive of the Valos family. He and Johnny never got along, and Joshua was too busy going far and wide exploring the world. Johnny couldn't care less. Joshua has telepathy, allowing him to read minds. Unfortunately, during the same incident that saw the Valos being kidnapped, Joshua was killed. The Valos family laments his loss.[/INDENT] Jaska Valos - Brother [INDENT]Easily the most interesting of the Valos siblings, Jaska Valos was born because Jason impregnated a White Spider Society escort, Reiko Aoki. Jaska was dropped on the front door of the Valos manor when he was a whee youth, and Jason immediately recognized him as their son. But, what makes Jaska so distinct is that he looks like a demon. A mouth full of sharp teeth, yellow eyes with vertical slits, claws on his hands and feet, a tail with a brutal blade at the end, and most notably, wings. Jaska had a hard time fitting into the family, but Johnny and Jake helped him ease in, and the rest of the Valos adjusted to having such a monstrous little brother. It wasn't long until baby Jaska became loved as everyone's little brother. However, he had an unknown aspect of his ability; The Inner-Beast. A rampaging monster that would awaken if he heard the codephrase "Little Devil," or came to the verge of death. This fact became a pain in the ass when Jaska unlocked his Inner-Beast and destroyed the Valos manor in Black Fall, and caused much injury to the entire family in their attempts to bring him down. As years passed (and he went to Academy 218 with the rest of the Valos), Jaska learned how to control the beast - or at least stop it from going wild. When the Founding Family kidnapped the rest of the Valos Siblings, he was able to use his abilities to escape them, and live on his own for a few years until Johnny had found him. Now, he joins Johnny's quest to save the Valos siblings.[/INDENT] Sylvia Bacilli - Sister [INDENT]Johnny's little sister who was born a few years after he was. The two, despite their age difference, became inseparable. With Johnny being an [i]awful[/i] influence on Sylvia, and shaping her up into a mischievous little brat. She is prone to swearing, and posturing, but truly cares for people. She is a massive junkie for music, and even aspires to becoming a DJ! It's funny because Sylvia has a powerful sound manipulating ability. Despite not officially being a Valos, Sylvia has effectively become like siblings to them. All because Johnny brings her around on their little adventures so often that she has pretty much become one of them. Though, after the incident with the Founding Family, Sylvia was captured by the Founding Family and transformed into a Secretary - serving the Blessed Three for years. Johnny's top priority is finding her.[/INDENT] Gabriela Valos - Sister [INDENT]Nicknamed "Gabe," she is the firey, aloof, Valos sister - twin sister to Jake Valos. She has a short patience, and an even shorter temper. But, while being sarcastic, she can be a total kitten! She is easily the most realistic and grounded of all the Valos, albeit there are times when she slips and indulges in the same things as the rest of the Valos. Gabe, due to her ability misfiring, is covered in all manner of burn scars - most are centered on her hands - and she is missing her right eye in the incident where Jaska lost control of his powers. She is a little bitter about those wounds, but she presses on. Gabriela, like her twin, was kidnapped by the Founding Family, and put under the effects of Mechanized Memories. Johnny had liberated her, and she was ready to tear a piece out of the Family... but, settled for looking for her sisters. Gabe has the ability to shoot high-heat, high-intensity, laser beams from her body after subtly absorbing light from the area around her. They can either burn badly, or be concussive, but the sheer energy generated causes Gabe burns, and it's linked to her emotions. Anger causes them to literally explode.[/INDENT] Ivete Valos - Sister [INDENT]The younger sister of both Joshua and Camille, Ivete was one of the star Valos, as she had become a model due to her good looks. Ivete was definitely an arrogant, haughty, something, all because she was a model. She barely bothered with the rest of the Valos siblings because she felt they were beneath them... but, they all love her to death regardless. Like her brother, Ivete has telepathy. However, she was kidnapped by the Founding Family, and transformed into a Secretary, and didn't have the luxury of being found by Johnny before the fall of the Family. Now, they desperately search for her.[/INDENT] Camille Valos - Sister [INDENT]Camille was the Valos sibling that matched even Johnny in narcissism, she felt like she was the shit, and god damn could she back it up. She was called a martial arts prodigy due to how quickly she could learn a fighting style, in addition to being good at sports. But, she didn't care about that, she just wanted to live the high life of fancy cars, and nice clothes. The Valos siblings were close to her, despite the fact she seldom participated in their adventures. Ivete had the ability to grow diamonds on any surface, and transform herself into diamonds. Like Ivete, Camille was not found before the fall of the Founding Family.[/INDENT][/INDENT][/hider] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Dynamics:[/b] [/color] [hider][indent] [h3]| [b]Noelle Delacroix[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Bad[/b] | [b]Former Friend[/b] | [i]"To think she was a close and personal friend of mine... That just goes to show that everyone changes. She got a bod that can kill, though."[/i] | [indent] Noelle (When she was known as Jacqueline Rory) was a former friend of the Valos Family due to the bond between Alec Rory and Jason Valos. Johnny met her during his many trips to Canada, and whenever Jacqueline went to America for her parents vacation. They had a complex relationship. Being a former fling of Johnny when he was younger, which evolved into a friendship that made her a close friend of the entire Valos Family. Johnny saw Jacqueline as a valuable ally, and Jacqueline saw Johnny as someone similar to herself... until the fall of Alec Rory, and Jacqueline fell off the radar. Johnny didn't hear from her until several years later, when she showed up with the Founding Family negotiation... as Veronica Davis. When it went sour, Veronica fought the Valos alongside the Family, and that broke Johnny's heart. Since then, Johnny saw Veronica as a bitter enemy, and plans on getting back at her. Little does he know, little Veronica has changed identities. [/indent] [h3]| [b]Daniel Forsythe[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Bad[/b] | [b]Little Shit[/b] | [i]"When I get my hands on him... he's dead..."[/i] | [indent] Johnny doesn't know too much about Daniel at all... except for the fact that he was Blake Schmidt's personal lapdog, and assisted the Founding Family. When the fight occurred, Daniel assisted the Founding Family in defeating the Valos, and since then, Johnny has harbored a grudge against him. [/indent] [h3]| [b]Jackson Drave[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Enemy[/b] | [b]Hat-Stealing Faggot[/b] | [i]"Next time we meet, we settling shit right on the spot. Ain't no way this cartwheelin', dickslapping, faggot gets to lay hands on me and get away with it."[/i] | [indent] As the quote implies, Johnny [i]really[/i] doesn't like Jackson. It all started with Jackson bumping into Johnny, and his hat getting snatched away (by a third party). After a fight (which Johnny the fabulous was winning), Johnny and Jackson were arrested. But, Johnny intends on getting even with him. With no RAVENs to save him.

Johnny has the ability to see the emotions of people just by looking at them. Which manifests in colors that surround them, an aura, as you could say. However, he his ability specializes more in seeing people's negative emotions. He would need to be within five meters of someone to see their positive emotions, but he can see someone's negative emotions from around thirty-eight meters away. The stronger the negative emotion, the further away he can sense it. Johnny also has a form of telepathy. Which is a more basic and rudimentary form of telepathy that doesn't quite allow him to "read" minds. With a bit of focus, he can learn exactly what's making people feel a specific emotion. A brief image, or a tiny little flashback that provides Johnny with a glimpse, or a very good hint. This allows insight into people and how to get to know them better. When people's feelings are much more complex, however, he may have a problem. It doesn't quite end there. There is a special kind of energy given off by people that only Johnny (and select Metahumans) can even detect known as Emotional Energy. A brand of mental energy that is created by emotions. Johnny can absorb this energy naturally by being in the presence of people feeling negative emotions. But, on touch, Johnny can dig deeper and absorb residual Emotional-Energy. Which is emotional energy left behind from past emotions, that he can drain from a person. Or, he can go to a place where a powerful emotion was experienced recently, and absorb the energy from there. Johnny can also reach inside of himself, and get emotional energy... but, what does Johnny do with this emotional energy?[/INDENT] [i]Negative Emotional-Energy Manipulation.[/i] [INDENT]Johnny has the ability to manifest emotional energy and weaponize it. This energy appears as a white light, with vertical lines of varying colors pulsing across it. Johnny is capable of manipulating this energy in any way possible, building constructs out of it Green Lantern style as it is solid. This Negative-Emotional Energy can be used as a weapon, or a shield. To begin with offense, Johnny can repulse it in a variety of different forms, such as beams, orbs, etc. It isn't really necessary to make it into the shape of a weapon when a blast of it works just fine. On the other hand, being able to mold it into anything possible allows him to create shields of the sort. The force and durability behind these constructs wholeheartedly depend on how much negativity is going on around him. It can be durable enough to take a barrage of bullets, or weak enough to be broken by hand. Now, Negative-Emotional Energy has a distinct side effect when it comes in contact with someone; it can overload a person with negative emotions - depending on what emotions he has absorbed. He can make someone rage with a blast, or incredibly horny. He can't decide on what emotion he shoots someone with - only that he shoots it. Now, outside of fights, the Emotional-Energy is capable of "purging" the effects of Domination-type powers, merely by the energy coming in contact with them. This is how Johnny was able to free his siblings from the effects of Mechanized Memories.[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Limits:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Johnny's emotional energy constructs are weak against physical attacks. They can easily block electricity, or heat, but are far easier to break with physical attacks. Now, Johnny's ability is directly linked to how many people are feeling negative emotions around him. In essence, it dictates his strength. If he's the only pissed off person there, well... he better be really angry or he'll be at a disadvantage. Johnny can absorb all emotions from people within a forty-eight meter range - but, the closer they are, the better he can absorb emotions from them. His ability to read emotions is limited by the emotions he is trying to read. If it is a positive emotion, Johnny will be unable to sense them from outside of a very close range. Nor will he be able to access his form of telepathy. Johnny is also weak against other Empaths, as their abilities counter his, and vice-versa.[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]This may come as a shock to you, but Johnny's ability is weakened by [i]positive[/i] emotion (Gasp!). Positive emotions are the exact inverse to Johnny's ability, as they weaken him. If enough people are in the area feeling happy or whatever, Johnny may become powerless. What's worse is if Johnny himself is feeling a positive emotion. Johnny also has to experience whatever emotion he is presently absorbing while he has it stored inside of himself. It may turn the normally balanced Johnny extremely angry, scared, or worse! Johnny is weak against mental attacks. Telepaths can easily access his mind and attack him mentally with ease. His ability is so weak against telepathy that even someone reading his mind will cause him a head-ache and disrupt his power.[/INDENT] [color=Saddlebrown][b][u]Other:[/u][/b][/color] [INDENT]■ Along with his Smith & Wesson 617's, Johnny also owns a Smith & Wesson 500 made out of gold and diamonds... which is entirely nonfunctional and is just for show. Looks pretty badass, though. ■ Johnny drives around a [url=http://media.automanager.com/wmphotos/020824/6edb1989bd1b9942a1c4db098b56092d/04cfecdad2_640.jpg]white luxury hummer[/url] that was imported from Japan! It's the most fancy shit on the planet, but it's far from inconspicuous. Johnny doesn't care, because someone like him deserves to be known! [/INDENT] [/hider]
