[u][b]Secret Identity:[/b][/u] Jonathan "Jay" Jones [u][b]Status:[/b][/u] Titan [u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 17 (Years spent on Earth) [u][b]City:[/b][/u] San Fransisco [u][b]Day Job:[/b][/u] Student [u][b]Powers:[/b][/u] Jay has numerous abilities, nearly all of which are tied into his extraterrestrial physiology. A shapeshifter, Jay has complete control over his own physiology, and it is malleable enough to assume the form of nearly any biological substance or construct. Utterly adaptable, Jay can reform himself to have the musculature needed to fight fist-to-fist with a Kryptonian, armor harder than diamonds, and can even alter himself to be able to fly or become completely invisible and intangible. Naturally, this makes Jay exceptionally difficult to wound, as he can merely shapeshift to regenerate even grievous injuries. Any form that requires an increase in mass forces Jay to consume the required elements from his environment. However, Jay's control over these powers is limited at best, as anything more drastic than a moderate change of certain body parts he cannot perform willingly. He might take on more drastic changes in times of duress, or out of reflex, but as a whole most of them seem "locked away" to him. His "base form" is that of a human with moderately superhuman physiology, and an advanced regenerative ability. Rather than the measly human five, Jay has no less than nine senses, all of which are tuned beyond that which a human is capable of. Even his sight, common enough to humans, can see across various wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum. His more esoteric senses are tuned to his psychic abilities, which are prodigious. Jay is an advanced telepath, capable of reading minds and detecting thoughts, as well as communicating mentally, and manipulating the minds of others in various ways, such as illusions and false memories. In addition, he can create powerful mental barriers for both himself and others, protecting against similar psychic attacks. These are merely the abilities that he has the most reliable access to, as more advanced powers seem similar "locked." Given the malleability of his body, "brain matter" is an irrelevant concept, therefore making every cell of his body a psychic resonator, and suggesting that his powers have the potential to increase in magnitude dramatically. He is also a telekine, capable of creating very basic telekinetic blasts and shields, though again their potential power seems artificially limited. [u][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/u] Jay is highly sensitive to extreme heat, generally that produced by a fire or greater. If his flesh is exposed to it, he loses control of the biochemical bonds that allow him to shapeshift, literally melting him until his component parts recover from the shock of the heat, which could take minutes to hours depending on exposure. [u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] Jay has a number of niche talents and hobbies, such as playing the bass guitar, DIY tailoring, and extensive knowledge of cultural topics (video games, music and comics in particular) from the mid-80s to late 90s. That aside, he can be surprisingly charismatic when in the company of other "misfits and outcasts," and is adept at thinking on his feet in stressful situations. [u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] Jay stands a bit over six feet tall, and has a wiry, muscular build. His features are somewhat heavy and brutish, giving him a visage resembling a bulldog. His eye and hair color vary depending on his mood, but they are usually some bright, outlandish color somewhere in the spectrum between blue, purple or pink. His hair is worn in an undercut that is sometimes styled into a tall, spiky mohawk, and he typically dresses in degraded and distressed leathers and denims, usually black and adorned with badges and slogans typical of the punk subculture, as well as various rings, chains and wristbands. When operating in his "superhero" persona, he will accessorize with such items as ornamental goggles or gas masks. [u][b]BRIEF Bio:[/b][/u] Jonathan Jones, who prefers to go by the nickname of "Jay," was taken in as a foundling by an orphanage in Southern California. Given the lack of identification with him, the orphanage gave him his alliterative name based on the month he was found in, January. For much of his infancy and early childhood, Jay was a sickly child, prone to infections and seizures. While his health seemed to level out by the time he was about eight, he was still an outcast among the other children, who avoided him based on his strange aura and mannerisms. Jay had a lonely adolescence, drifting between whatever foster homes would take him in, and grew into niche interests and social groups in a desire for belonging. As he aged, though, he superhuman abilities began to make themselves known. His body would transform seemingly at random times, or he would be suddenly plagued by the deluge of thoughts surrounding him. These made him continue to act out, isolating himself, and reacting violently to forced socialization. While he has generally grasped him powers at this point, by his late teens the damage had been done, and the only social group that would accept him were fringe outcasts and petty criminals. While robbing a convenience store with some of his "friends," Jay was caught, and due to an outburst of his powers, he hospitalized a police officer. He was detained as a super-criminal, and was about to be sentenced and imprisoned as such, until the intervention of Batman. After reviewing his files and determining that his potential was enormous, Batman offered to vouch for him and keep him out of prison, as long as he joined the Titans. Seeing little choice, Jay has done so, though approaches the concept of superheroism with great suspicion and trepidation. [u][b]Supporting Characters:[/b][/u] NA [u][b]Secondary Character:[/b][/u] NA [u][b]Additional Notes:[/b][/u] While Batman is reasonably sure that Jay is some sort of alien, bases on genetic testing that he (begrudgingly) consented to, there is still no idea what his origins are. Human DNA markers were found among his incredibly complex genetic code, which combined with his extremely convincing human "disguise" (Jay passes for human even under an MRI), Batman theorizes that Jay is some sort of "infiltrator" organism meant to pass as a human. To what end, he can only guess. Even as advanced as Jay's human form is, he is still adapting to Earth's biochemicals, and sometimes has strange reactions to common substances. For instance, he has developed an addictive reaction to chocolate, the formula in Oreo-brand chocolate cookies in particular.[/center] [/hider]
