[color=royalblue][h3][u][b]   APPEARANCE       [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"I'm short, yeah, but I'm tall in all the right places."[/i]

[indent][indent]A very proud and youthful young man just from the look. Just from his demeanor, you can tell he's very carefree and easy going - just from how lax he is about a lot of things. He walks around with confidence and a cocky swagger - mixed with a good old fashioned New Yorker accent. His voice is loud, but not as deep as he was hoping which kind of makes his behavior fall flat a lot of the time. Jaden is African-American at first look, but he's more than willing to tell you that he's mixed. His father is primarily Haitian and some West African countries and his mother is Columbian. His skin is dark with some cuts and bruises, he's got afro-textured hair, and his lips are thick - the usual. You wouldn't notice the hair though because he keeps it cut very short for personal reasons. In terms of build, Jaden is very short - like he stands at the female height. Which sucks because he wishes he was taller, but whenever he does a pull-up things are way easier. Jaden is in pretty good shape from working out - and let's be real; he's not the type to laze around and get fat. He's not super buff, but he's skinny and toned as all hell. He's got legs and chest muscles.

Jaden's sigil is on his chest, his right pectoral muscle. Given that he's apart of a Collective Awakening he has a sigil for each Abstraction, [url=https://i.imgur.com/87ZWwY9.jpg]with the sigil of a book[/url] representing his primary abstraction.

[color=royalblue][h3][u][b]    PSYCHOLOGY       [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"I wanna help people yo, I just don't want to be some weirdo that plays Playstation all day."[/i]

[indent][indent][indent]

[color=royalblue][b]MAIN GOAL  ⫻[/b] [/color] Currently, Jaden's goal is to find his twin sister Cierra before something terrible happens to her. Previously Jaden's goal was to get enlisted in to the Marines but that didn't go as well as he was hoping for but at least he got his degree!

[color=royalblue][b]PHILOSOPHY  ⫻[/b] [/color] It may surprise you but Jaden is somewhat philosophical just from the way he was raised. He believes that strength and power are everything - just not physical strength. He wants the world to see him as strong, regardless of the price. People should be self-sufficient in his eyes, but he's willing to loan his strength to other people. 

[color=royalblue][b]SECRETS  ⫻[/b] [/color] Jaden doesn't have any secrets, that sick's wack.

[color=royalblue][b]SEXUALITY  ⫻[/b] [/color] Jaden's straight baby.

[color=royalblue][b]FEARS  ⫻[/b] [/color] Jaden is afraid of being weak, being useless, being scared. This is why he acts all proud, aggressive, and rebellious - he wants the world to know that he isn't weak or a coward and will do anything to appear otherwise. He's convinced that strength, pride, and status is the only thing that matters, and the only thing he needs. While longing for something more. 

[color=royalblue][b]REPUTATION  ⫻[/b] [/color] Jaden's reputation around Araminta varies - he visits Church every Sunday and is somewhat religious. However, because of his skin color and past behavior, many denizens of Araminta are wary of the boy. 

[color=royalblue][b]QUIRKS  ⫻[/b] [/color] Jaden can't hold still - he can hold it for a few moments, but he finds it hard to stand at ease without moving his head or looking around.

[color=royalblue][b]FLAWS  ⫻[/b] [/color] He's arrogant, impatient, somewhat-self hating, annoying, brash, and more.

[color=royalblue][h3][u][b]   BACKSTORY      [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"If you like your teeth don't mention Lynnette."[/i]

[indent][indent]Jaden was born in New York City baby! To a very high ranking member of some technology firm situation in New York. He was no CEO, but he had more than a living wage - all because of good schooling. Jago's mother was a deaf woman who was one of his coworkers that were brought upon to show that his business is diverse. Eventually, the two got romantically involved, and he ended up marrying her - not before putting a baby in her! The first child was Lynette Dominguez, then afterward were the Dominguez twins: Jaden and Cierra Dominguez. The three had everything they ever needed: a nice house, good schooling, and whatever else they wanted came in time. Unlike the eldest Dominguez, who was attracted to learning; Jaden and Cierra had too much energy for that garbage. That energy ended up with them acting out when they got of age; so the two were invested into sports. Cierra into soccer, Jaden into basketball and whatever else he could get his hands on. Jaden was badass when you handed him a basketball and is talented with it to this very day. When he got older he ended up in his school's basketball team, and this ended with Jaden getting lots of social connections and parties and whatever. Where ever Jaden went, people knew him. It was like a dream! However, as popular as he was, he couldn't help but feel like he didn't want this. 

Jaden could go pro, but did he want to? Yup, it just didn't feel right with him. Ultimately, Jaden went against his friend's best wishes and decided to expand his horizons with other hobbies. After one art class went wrong, he gave Marine JROTC a try and immediately fell in love. It was the higher purpose that Jaden needed and perfect for an athlete like him. Throughout all of his high school years, he spent it doing NROTC classes and drills - he just wished he was allowed to shoot a gun! But, he had all the military discipline and knowledge that he needed to make it big - well, big as a Marine could make it! He still went to parties along with his sister Cierra, while Lynette... did Lynette things. They couldn't relate to her too much, but they tried their best to be her friend. They had their ups and downs but eventually, they connected to her and she helped them a lot with their school work.

Things were great... until Daddy Dominguez got a job in Araminta, Pennslyvania. A place that Jaden didn't even hear about! It was such bullshit, but it was his last year of high school anyway. After Cierra and Jaden graduated, the family set off to Araminta. It was weird being in a state different from where he grew up - at most they went on vacation to Florida. He didn't have any of his homies to surround him! Jaden looked to his older sister Lynette for guidance since she was never super connected to people in the first place. There was one problem with his plan on going into the service; his father didn't want him going into the service - not without a degree that is. He wanted his son to have a fallback plan and also to have some rank in the military when he got in.

So Jaden went to Araminta community college and got a degree in cybersecurity - he bet he could find a good job in the Marines for him. All while continuing to do NROTC in college and getting help from his older sister when he could. Their connection grew as Lynette became a de facto mentor to Jaden, helping him out whenever she could. It wasn't long until the two separated as Lynette went to a place known as Grand Ridge Academy in a rush, but they kept in touch. After he graduated, the first place he went to was the recruiter's office and everything was going well. He did the ASVAB (scored a 62) and went on his merry way to MEPS and everything was going well... until he got drug tested. They found traces of marijuana and he was immediately disqualified - fortunately, his NROTC credentials were enough to allow him to retest... in six months. Which meant Jaden had to sit around bored in Araminta.

Everything was not perfect as Jaden received news as to what happened in Farmer Hill and lost contact with Lynette. It was news of a massive earthquake that ravaged the town and killed many... unfortunately, Lynette was a victim. This was news that destroyed Jaden to his core and sent him into a depression. Watching Lynette get lowered into the ground destroyed him inside, however, Jaden tried to hide his sorrow by acting the same as usual. Even though he has matured to the core.

However, around one month was when all the weird occurrences in Araminta began. First Jaden just shrugged it off as superstition before Jaden came face to face with the masked killer running around. He was out with some friends and his sister partying down by the river when that crazy fucker with a mask attacked him. Jaden, first and foremost tried to fight the bastard off but the freak was way above them. The serial killer chased his group around until they got separated. They all ended up in one abandoned house where they made their final stand. However, Jaden and his friends Awakened... and it ended up being a Collective Awakening. It was weird, but they managed to fight off the thing and force it to retreat. 

Afterward, Jaden wondered what the fuck is going on. As he tried to learn his newfound power with his sister but after a few nights she went missing. Jaden looked all over the place for her, yet he could not find her no matter where he looked. And nobody seemed to care. She wasn't a victim of the serial killer... nor did Jaden think she could be a victim. She was too strong for that...[/indent][/indent]

[color=royalblue][h3][u][b]   SKILLS & TALENTS      [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"High-speed as fuck"[/i]

[indent][indent][indent]

[color=royalblue][b]NROTC  ⫻[/b] [/color] Jaden's primary claim to fame is all the work he did in JROTC and NROTC. He's pretty much an expert when it comes to the Marines and if he actually resisted the urge to smoke that one joint he would probably have aced basic training. He knows all the exercises off the bat, the history of the marines, land navigation, leadership, the basics of marksmanship, swimming, and all traditions.

[color=royalblue][b]Basketball  ⫻[/b] [/color] Before Jaden went to the NROTC, he was a star basketball player. He was extremely good and probably could have gone NBA if it didn't feel weird to the teen. He still plays from time to time and he hasn't lost a step.

[color=royalblue][b]Cyber-Security Degree  ⫻[/b] [/color] Before Jaden was allowed to enlist he decided to get a degree in something. He choose Cyber-Security because it sounded just military enough for him... and then realized this was probably a degree for the airforce. That said, he knows computers really well, like operating them and repairing them comes easy as hell to him. He, obviously, knows how to do stuff like monitor systems and deal with cyber attacks.

[color=royalblue][h3][u][b]    EXTRA-NORMAL ABILITIES     [/b][/u][/h3][/color]
[i]"Fuck yo, it seems like the more I try to run away the more this shit tries to chase me."[/i]
[indent][indent]


[color=royalblue][b]TYPE  ⫻[/b][/color] Awakened

[color=royalblue][b]ABSTRACTION  ⫻[/b][/color] Collective-Awakening, Jaden has access to four different Abstractions:

[indent][color=royalblue][b]FAMIMILIAL REFLECTION  ⫻[/b][/color] As Jaden's primary abstraction can summon a ghostly reflection of his sister who can gather information for him.

[color=royalblue][b]CHAMEALEON  ⫻[/b][/color] The Chameleon ability is rooted from Cierra, Jaden's sister, and allows him to slowly blend into the environment.

[color=royalblue][b]BARRIER-Generation  ⫻[/b][/color] Rooted from a girl named Mariah who has the ability to spawn barriers around herself.

[color=royalblue][b]Percise-Shots  ⫻[/b][/color] Granted from Jaden's best friend Reese, Jaden can fire small precise blasts the shape and size of bullets.

[/indent]
[color=royalblue][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION  ⫻[/b][/color] When Jaden was attacked by the Horde he gained four different Abstractions from his sister and two friends. It's theorized that Jaden has 50% of his own ability, 30% of his sister's, and 10% of his two friends.

[indent][color=royalblue][b]FAMIMILIAL REFLECTION  ⫻[/b][/color] Jaden's own abstraction and it is rooted in how he misses his sister and how he used to call on her for guidance. It's not exactly an ability that Jaden can call on at will, as he represses his grief but when Jaden is stuck or curious about something a ghostly copy of his sister, Lynette, will appear before him. This copy of his sister is a short African-American girl with an afro of hair and dresses in jeans and a plain t-shirt... except she is completely transparent. He can only see the outline of her as she causes a vibration in the air where ever she goes. She has no combat potential, but what she can do is give him information about what Jaden is stuck on. Say if he's trapped in a room and wants to get out, she can tell him about how the doorknob is old and can be broken. Sometimes she will drop in and give him information about any question he might have at the moment before disappearing. Jaden will be able to control this ability in time as he learns how to handle his grief over his sister.

[color=royalblue][b]CHAMELEON  ⫻[/b][/color] Because Jaden is so close to his sister, he gained an abstraction reflecting her. She is a girl that is sneaky as hell and loves reptiles, so Jaden can channel that and slowly blend into the environment. It's a slow process but Jaden can channel this ability to blend into an environment and turn semi-invisible. Semi, as he can still be seen to the keen eye as if he's changing colors to the environment. This won't fool the most extra-normal beings but is handy.

[color=royalblue][b]PERCISE-SHOTS  ⫻[/b][/color] Jaden's best friend in NROTC and joined him when he went to MEPS was Reese. A kid from a bad neighborhood that bonded pretty well with Jaden, and Jaden and him had a mutual hobby of shooting. Jaden thought he was an excellent shot, so that fueled this abstraction. Jaden can fire tiny blasts of supernatural energy out of his hands, which are extremely precise and accurate albeit weak. He can fire them with such preciseness he can shoot an apple off someone's head. The blasts are no stronger than a punch, but he can fire them with such preciseness that he can cause a lot of damage if he puts his shots right.

[color=royalblue][b]BARRIER-GENERAION  ⫻[/b][/color] Because Jaden is not familiar with Mariah, he merely gained a piece of her abstraction. This abstraction is rooted from two things; Mariah's desire to protect herself and her siblings from their abusive father and at the time, her desire to protect herself from the horde. However, since Jaden only has a small fraction of her far more powerful shielding ability it isn't as powerful as he would like. He can produce a circular shield in front of himself long as he is stationary that'll stop most baseline physical attacks in their tracks and if he focuses he'll be able to handle supernatural-strength. The shield is transparent but a blue color and he can manifest it all will.

[/indent]

[color=royalblue][b]AURA SENSING  ⫻[/b][/color] Jaden's aura reading is very situational and at times useless. He has the ability to sense the aura of his sisters and can see items belonging to them up to twenty meters away. They are illuminated in a bright blue aura and if it's an item that belongs to them, Jaden can gather how long ago they touched it from the intensity of its aura. The thicker the aura, the shorter the time they had contact with it. Of course, since one of his sisters is deceased this doesn't have too much use. Jaden can also sense the members of his Collective from the same distance.


[color=royalblue][b]LIMITS  ⫻[/b][/color] As it stands Jaden has no control over the Familial Reflection. It only appears the less Jaden thinks about it and if Jaden actively wants its help, it will not appear. There's also the fact that he cannot control what information it gives. It just knows a lot, it doesn't mean that what information it gives will be useful. The Chameleon ability allows Jaden to turn semi-invisible but it takes a few seconds for it to take effect and Jaden has to move slow to retain it. If he runs too fast he'll have to take a few seconds for the stealth to catch up. The barrier is strong enough to withstand one powerful blow before it disappears and he has to wait for it to recharge. At most, it can handle a few rounds from a pistol before it breaks. He also has to be completely stationary to utilize it so yeah. Jaden can only produce the barrier in front of himself. Jaden can only fire one precise shot every ten seconds and it has a range of around ten feet. He can only fire ten shots before he has to wait a few minutes for it to "reload".

[color=royalblue][b]WEAKNESSES  ⫻[/b][/color] The Familial-Reflection has no physical weaknesses but it has a mental weakness. Jaden is trying his best to repress his feelings about his deceased sister and the Familial Reflection brings it up. It's to the point where he actively tries not to use this abstraction despite its usefulness and power. Whenever Jaden uses the Chameleon, his own vision becomes blurry and dark. The barrier comes at the cost of his mobility as Jaden has to be standing still in order to use it, if he moves the barrier will fade from existence. The Precise shots come with a recoil that hurts his hands the more he uses it and comes with a very loud sound that only Jaden can hear that disorients him.
