From there he joined the Texas Rangers, where he became known for bring able to bring some of the roughest ki-using criminals around to custody while building an airtight case against them. Eventually he was approached by MAVERICK and, with the approval of the Ranger Chief Prince, he was allowed to join the ranks of the international law enforcement organization.
FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES
FIGHTING STYLE Jamie's fighting style is very grappling centric. Steeped in a police combat mentality, 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 help 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.
SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES ■ Cattle Prod: - A passive effect, Jamie electrifies his fists and feet, making his grappling and strikes all the more painful
■ Entangle: - 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.
■ Rope a Dope: - 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.
■ Sidewinder:- The Opposite of Rope-a-Dope, Jamie leaps into the air and pulls himself in, using their weight and momentum for a powerful blow.
■ Snake Bite: - 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.
■ Grab the Ring: - 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
■ Burning Ring of Fire: - 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
SUPER MOVES ■ Dope on a Rope:- Once Jamie has entangled someone, he spins them around, slamming the unfortunate target into the ground and surroundings multiple times
■ The Brand:- Jamie uses his ki to electrify his whip while entangling a target, leaving painful burns and staggering them.
■ Highwayman's Turn:- 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.
WEAKNESSES & LIMITS 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.
OTHER
- 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.
