Reaper
Origin:
Known Powers: Instead of heating up (or cooling down) a target, Jaycen can pour a huge amount of electrical energy into it. The first turn this energy is applied, the target is charged with static electricity. Next turn, the target will emit -1 CS amounts of electricity, if sufficiently grounded (causing him like damage). On the third turn (and every additional turn thereafter) the power is used in this way), the target suffers -2 CS disintegration. Thirdly, by changing the phase of an object's energy state, Jaycen can render it temporarily immaterial. Functioning at his full power rank, this effect allows the object to be passed through as though it were immaterial. This phasing of matter can apply to any amount of mass up to and including a human-sized person, and is great for avoiding injury or walking through walls. Finally, Jaycen has been shown to be able to collect into himself a vast amount of ions, and he can use them as a devastating blast of power. In battle, he can use these ions to inflict Amazing (50) Stunning Energy damage to a singular foe, or like damage -1 CS to everybody within his immediate area. While this is a bit draining on his person, it is most definitely an effective offensive measure. Cosmic Awareness: Jaycen's mind is in tune with the entire scope of reality. He possesses a somewhat detatched, omniscient viewpoint that allows him, in theory, to explore the entire existence of a chosen subject. Unfortunately, this Incredible (40) ranked power causes such a massive overload of superfluous information that he is hard pressed to sort it all out. In combat this power raises Jaycen's damage +1 CS by detecting the weak points in his opponent's defenses. The major drawback to this power is that can lead to insanity, especially catatonic withdrawal, as Jaycen's psyche is continually inundated by a flood of what amounts to useless information. He should make a FEAT roll any time he uses this power more than five times a day. It automatically tracks any Class 1000 or higher Power within ten miles of his position.
Equipment:
Quirks:
Talents: Occult Lore: the incredibly peculiar childhood that Jaycen experienced thanks to his freaky adoptive parents has given him a treasure trove of information regarding the occult in general. His reason score should be considered +1 CS for the purposes of making FEAT rolls involving the mystical past or present. Quantum Physics: thanks to his curious background, Jaycen has quite a lot of theoretical information floating around in his head, such as practical notions about the formation of worm holes, the process of teleportation, and even faster-than-light travel. Skill / Knives: one of the more dangerous skills Jaycen acquired during his youth is the ability to wield a blade in battle - to lethal effect. In combat, he may make melee attacks with a knife or short sword as though his fighting (off) score were +1 CS in rank. Tumbling: Jaycen has been well-trained in the fine arts of taking a fall, as it were. In combat, he can fall two stories without taking any damage, if he can pass an agility (bal) FEAT roll upon coming in contact with the ground. If successful, this FEAT allows Jaycen to be on his feet as he stops moving.

Costume:
Personality (in the words of Michael): Jaycen is a direct person, one to whom the idea of taking on Death itself is just a matter of doing it. He is somewhat bitter over his unusual upbringing, and tries to be as easy going as possible when faced with unusual circumstances, since his life up until now has been so cloistered. He is curious about himself, and anything that is truly unusual around him.
Real Name: Jaycen Nguyen
Height: 6'
Story: Being seen as their only avenue to achieve their lifelong goal, Jaycen was taught at a very early age just about everything someone would ever want (or need) to know about supernatural powers and power sources. He was constantly pushed to develop skills and knowledge in various possible avenues towards the development of superhuman abilites. His younger years were spent developing skills in hand-to-hand fighting, agility, and endurance. His ability to comprehend his studies both scholastically and otherwise was almost otherworldly, but his parents seemed so interested in external signs of the paranormal that they seemed to fail to notice their own son. Finally, he began High School, and was able to slowly develop something of a normal life. His parents settled in an upscale neighborhood, and even found a particularly eccentric teacher for their son to instruct him how to grapple as well as how to handle almost anything with a blade on it. This instructor was markedly different from any of the others Jaycen ever had - an interesting thing considering everything the young man had seen in his short life. However, his parents were relentless in their pursuit of knowledge, and ultimately the pressure was so great that he finally confided his instructor, someone that he felt he could trust. His teacher simply smiled in his strange way, and began to tell him a story. He told Jaycen about a far away land, and the people there who left their homes to explore the universe. They would fling themselves out into the void with no idea of what they would find, or even any intention of ever returning. They were a people of strange and unique powers, the scope of which had never been fully ascertained. He described their alienation, loneliness, fear of the populace of whatever world they happened to land on. He also told him that in time these people found a way to contribute, to become a part of the greater whole in whatever environment they ended up living in. This was a rather peculiar story to Jaycen - he had not told his instructor about the weird feelings he was having, his budding ability to "sense" things around him, things he could not quite describe. Yet this eccentric person had told him a tale that seemed to apply more to that than to his feeling of being trapped in a life that his parents were pushing on him. You see, during Jaycen's senior year in High School, he began to notice that his ability to "sense" things had started to evolve into strange sensations - a peculiar awareness of his environs. He also found that if he concentrated, he could manipulate elements on an ionic level, and began to research just what that could lead to. This had various interesting results such as when he developed the ability to disintegrate objects, and lost most of his clothing, and when he developed the ability to impart electricity on an object, many "Uncle Fester" skits soon followed. As his abilities grew, so did his psychic sensitivity. He began to develop an omniscience, an awareness of the world, the galaxy around him. This would've destroyed him mentally if it weren't for his instructor. Even though Jaycen never told anyone about what was happening to him, the strange little man seemed to know something was wrong, and taught him how to clear his mind, control his emotions. Finally, one day about a year or so after Jaycen graduated from High School, in the midst of his parents' deliberations as to what private, remote, commune-like college to send their son to to further his training, Jaycen had one of those incredible experiences that caused his life to suddenly fall into place. He was walking home one night from class, it was a late evening as they had covered a great deal of material. He suddenly felt his sensitivity heighten to an intensity never felt before, then shrank back in awe - something that appeared to be the sum total of all shadows emerged. The figure moved swiftly across the street, and into an alley. Despite his overwhelming fear - Jaycen followed the darkling figure into the shadows. He found a man, bleeding profusely, collapsed on the ground. He had been beaten, and judging from the pink colored triangle amulet around his neck, Jaycen could guess why. The shadow appeared to be waiting nearby - eagerly. Jaycen began to put together what was going on, as he watched the poor man begin to give in to the wealth of damage done to him. This enraged Jaycen, more than anything ever had in his life. That this phantom, this death spirit was here waiting for this man's soul like some sort of scrap was simply too much to contemplate. Jaycen screamed in outrage, launching a wave of disintegrating energies from his hands as he moved to stand over the dying man. Somehow this seemed to cause the shadow to move away, to recoil back. Jaycen could hear a faint amused chuckling, a deep reverberating, yet somehow feminine sound emitting from the shadowy creature as it moved slowly away. Jaycen did what he could to help the man, then called an ambulance. The next morning, he read the headlines in the local section of the newspaper "Against all odds, hate crime victim lives due to generous citizen." He decided then that if something like that shadow, that death incarnate was going to be hunting for the dying people in the city, then he would be the Reaper - only a Reaper of a different sort. He would arrive at the time of death to help stop Death from overtaking innocent people. Later that day, Jaycen found out what his parents had planned for his future. Of course, it did not involve saving helpless people, or even living in the same country anymore. Tired of having his life handed to him, and finally feeling a sense of purpose in his life Jaycen left home. Ever since, he has wandered the world in his quest to keep the forces of darkness - Death in particular - from benefiting at the expense of the innocent...! |
