Most notably, he is almost never without a cowboy hat of some sort, and even his formal wear is evocative of Westerns. Typically he wears dark blue jeans and a grey western suit jacket over a lavender dress shirt. He keeps his whip on his hip, within easy reach, and wears a set of fingerless gloves when fighting. [/indent] [u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION [/b][/u] [indent] Born and raised in raised in the heart of West Texas, Jamie he easily split his time between his duties on the ranch and the classroom and excelling in both. He was a model youth, joining the local Scout troop, Captaining the debate team, and even winning medals as part of the school Judo team. By the time he graduated high school, he was set on studying Law and becoming a Texas Ranger. For him this meant joining the Army, taking advantage of the ROTC to get his degree in Criminology. After nearly a decade of service in the army, he was honorably discharged with plenty of experience with the Military Justice System under his belt. From there, it was a (relatively) simple matter of joining the famous organization, spending nearly ten years working as a Detective in Company E of the Texas Ranger Division. There he became known for his bulldog nature, wrapping up criminals in a legal snare of their own creation before bringing the hammer down on them. For the more rough and tumble ki-using criminals that chose not to come in quietly, Jamie was more than happy to make them regret their need to fight back. Needless to say, once MIRAGE started making trouble, he was quickly transfered to MAVERICK, one of many law enforcement officials that volunteered in the call to bulk up the agency in the face of the new threat. At least that's the story he tells most people. In reality he's been working with MAVERICK for nearly his whole civillian career. Plenty of his cases had an angle that interested them in some way, and a majority of the serious criminals he caught were wanted by MAVERICK already. THeir assitance was always welcome, as they were happy to let local law enforcement pick and choose which cases to transfer to MAVERICK. However things started to chafe in the last few years. Even prior to the offical transfer, more and more cases were taken out of his hands and transfered to a MAVERICK investegation team. Years of evidence handed over to them, and the perp would disappear into their custody, never to be heard from again. It came to a head one night when he was called out to investegate a massive fight in a warehouse outside of the small town of Clearspring. Even as he showed up, boxes were being taken away in unmarked vans by MAVERICK agents, along with numerous bodies. He was given a pre-written report to sign off on. He exploded, throwing the report back in the agent's face and storming off, shouting that he would make sure that the Ranger Chief would know of this interference. He didnt even get to his car before he was subdued. The Jamie that walked back into his office the next day was a changed man. He turned in his report, attributing the fight to drug cartels. And so to this day he has served MAVERICK, and by extention MIRAGE, duitifully. Covering up their activities, fabricating evidence against their enemies, and carefully scouting out other Rangers to turn to their side. Eventually he was told to transfer into MAVERICK offically, and he duitifully did so, freeing himself to serve at their leisure. Over the years he traveled from country to country, helping clean up MIRAGE's messes, either with a polite smile and drawl, a badge and a warrant, or fist to the face.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr ] [indent][u][b]SKILLS & ABILITIES [/b][/u] [indent]Jamie's fighting style is very grappling centric. He uses his strength and skill to grapple opponents before subduing them with a flurry of strikes. To this end, he uses a whip to restrain and control his targets, controlling them as he moves in like a bulldog. Beyond the typical ki augmentations of strength, speed, and endurance; Jamie specializes in generating electricity for his attacks.[/indent] [u][b]SIGNATURE MOVES [/b][/u] [indent][u]■ Cattle Prod: [/u] [indent]- A passive effect, Jamie electrifies his fists and feet, making his grappling and strikes all the more painful[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Entangle: [/u] [indent]- The basis of most of Jami's other techniques. It simply entails lashing out and using their whip to entangle their opponent in an effort to gain control of their movement.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Rope a Dope: [/u] [indent]- The simplest of follow ups to Entangle, Jamie pulls the opponent in, keeping them off balance and potentially into range for further grappling or a simple sucker punch.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Sidewinder:[/u] [indent]- The Opposite of Rope-a-Dope, Jamie leaps into the air and pulls himself in, using their weight and momentum for a powerful blow.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Snake Bite: [/u] [indent]- Jamie's main ranged attack, they simply concentrate their ki on the tip of their lasso and lash it out. Between the bright arcs created by his electrical Ki and the loud snap of the whip, it can disorient his target even if it misses.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Grab the Ring: [/u] [indent]- Jamie is proficient at grabbing and flinging objects with his whip. It gives him some defense against ranged projectiles, and can also be used to make weapons out of his surroundings[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Burning Ring of Fire: [/u] [indent]- Using their ki, Jamie electrifies his whip and spins it around himself. While it's difficult to maintain the coordination, it does make it very difficult for someone to approach him without risking being struck[/indent][/indent] [u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u] [indent] [u]■ Dope on a Rope:[/u] [indent]- Once Jamie has entangled someone, he spins them around, slamming the unfortunate target into the ground and surroundings multiple times[/indent][/indent] [indent] [u]■ The Brand:[/u] [indent]- Jamie uses his ki to electrify his whip while entangling a target, leaving painful burns and staggering them.[/indent][/indent] [indent] [u]■ Highwayman's Turn:[/u] [indent]- Jamie places a trio of rifle bullets between his fingers before punching his target. This has a threefold effect. First, the actual punch. Second, the metal cartridges channel electricity very well. Third, this also sets the rounds off at point blank range. [/indent][/indent] [u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u] [indent]Most of Jamie's special moves require room to swing his whip, which does telegraph what he is about to do. Furthermore, his whip has a limited range, and a sweet spot of use, meaning that Jamie is unable to hit targets outside the range of his whip and is less effective when he cannot get a full swing of his arm. Additionally, most of his hard hitting moves require setting up in the form of Entangle. [/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr ] [indent][indent]- Jamie does in fact still carry a pistol, and is quite a good marksman, but due to the nature of nomads it is normally of little use in a fight. - Jamie is fluent in Spanish and English, but makes no attempt to disguise his thick Texan accent.[/indent][/indent] [/hider]
