[hider=JJ]

[U]Appearance[/U]

	JJ has light aqua green eyes, a soft smile, and usually a head full of hair to toss around. He stands 5 foot 8 inches, long limbed and thin if he keeps away from the snacks. His facial hair has started decently, blonder than his dyed top. He loves to accessorize and has jewelry of the ears and face. His style is as a metalhead, dark colors and musical tases galore. He tries his best to maintain an edgy but clean appearance.

[U]Characteristics[/U]

[indent][i]JJ likes to make jokes, colorful or not. Most are masochistic to his situations, but he still holds onto that spark of good when things are rough. He makes friends easy because of this, or enemies of the more somber type. You can kick him down and he will get up laughing. Spilt milk aside, he does harbor a grudge against authority. His failings at 'conquering' this fact lead him into depressed states too. Bipolar tendencies seep through his facade when stressed. [/i][/indent]

[U]Goals and aspirations[/U]

[indent][i]JJ is a spur of the moment guy, so as long as you can secure the next hour, day, week, he is moldable. The lad hasn't seen much long-term success in his life to be much else.[/i][/indent]


[U]CV[/U]

[indent][i]Construction usually, JJ's uncle was a carpenter by trade and JJ followed suit to have some spending money. Not that he stuck to it or excelled at it. He attended a tradeschool in the 10th grade then proceeded to drop out of formal education. He likes fractions and metrics, but beyond that he's more of a hands-on student. He knows how to hotwire cars, his step-father is a mechanic. Mechanic in general are familiar to him. He's a jack instead of a master, but perhaps he's never focused on anything. Was also a field&track athlete, which comes in handy when you have to run from the rozza.[/i][/indent]

[U]Crime[/U]

[indent][i]A little B&E, a little petty theft, some vandalism, and a lot of Gta joyrides. JJ can hardly stand aside when he sees an opportunity just sitting there. Crimes of the moment, hardly any forethought to them, hence why the system deduced a more reformat plan of action against the hectic youth. 6-months could fix him they think. [/i][/indent]

[U]Background[/U]

[indent][i]JJ's life was a mundane existence of a single child in a home of hard workers. His mother was a maid and his father a mechanic. While his grades and behavior were well to do for the most part, he had a very unsensible level of anticipation and recklessness. This would manifest later in his criminal behavior. The rush of crimes and the darker side of things lured him in very quickly. By the time he was 16 he had almost given up entirely on schooling and athletics in favor of a life of fun in his mind. Cigarettes, booze, and such where always around, tho fear of harder things keeps him safe-ish. 

Perhaps it was a lack of focus or evidence, but he did not want to follow his parents footsteps of toil and grind for meager takings. JJ's rambunctious behavior would increasingly get him caught and reprimanded. Not so suddenly he was to be the bad chip off the block. Always he seemed willing to cross the line, and for what? A buzz of crime, a high of spree? Disillusioned he was of the consequences of his actions, and still is partly to this day.

[U]Power[/U]

[indent][i][b]Flashbang:[/b] JJ can emit concentrated phosphoric chemical cocktails out of his pores at will(or at random if emotionally unfocused). Soft colorful flames that flick and linger to full on denotating concoctions expressed through strikes of the limbs. The color, intensity, and production of secondary chemicals aka smoke can vary as he learns to control the power.[/i][/indent]

[U]Skills & Abilities[/U]

[indent][i]JJ was an athlete in his teens, a field and track aficionado. He has learned basic mechanics and construction trades from his elders so far. Bit of a muscian when it comes to percussion.[/i][/indent]
