Psioni Cub is my first attempt at a full on rp character in an MMO.

= Background =

I dunno how to go about this kinda thing. I guess most heroes have some sort of trauma in their past, a vendetta, some sort of incident that changed their life forever. Me? I’m just a farmers son who happens to be a mutant. A psion to be exact. My folks didn’t disown me when my powers manifested, or hell even when I came out as gay. I grew up knowin I was loved and learnin how to be a good man from my pop. I did pretty well in school, especially after my powers manifested and I was able to process information faster than other humans. I guess you could call me a genius, but that’d be kind of a lie anyways. I like football and beer. Bailing hay and taking naps in the afternoon. I don’t have an arch enemy or a dark secret. But I reckon those aren’t the things that make a person a hero. I kinda have a theory. You see most people just go through life. Living each day and tryin to get to the next. A hero ain’t defined by powers or origins. A hero can be a guy who see’s injustice and does his best to stop it. Or a kind neighbor offering a hand when needed. They say we live in the city of heroes but I’ve noticed that we live in a world of heroes. Sure I can pick up tanks with my mind but how does that compare to the single mother who works three jobs to support her kids and see that they’re raised right? Compared to that I’m just a pale shadow of a hero. But I’m getting off topic.
I was born in Lawrence Kansas to my folks. My mom and dad both come from a farmin background and if my powers hadn’t manifested I reckon I’da followed in my pops footsteps. I’da been the football star in high school, livin out my glory days. Meetin my high school sweetheart an he an I would settle down an run a farm of our own. Jus’ like my folks did. But I guess fate had other plans. See, my powers are telepathy and telekinesis. As if bein queer wasn’t awkward enough I was now able to read folks minds and manipulate objects jus’ by thinkin bout em. Yeah sure it helped me in football. Bein able t’ know what the other team was doin before they did it. Usin my TK in lil ways to give me the advantage. But the downside was that I could hear what everyone around me thought. And if you thought what people said out loud in high school was bad, wait till ya hear what they think! So I did what any good ole country boy would do in this situation. I told my folks. I could tell at first they were a lil scared, but who wouldn’t be scared when you tel em you know what they’re thinkin? But my folks pulled through and got in contact with G.I.F.T, they got me help and gave me love and support. I honestly don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have the parents I do. Prolly in some institution or worse, I’d be one of them that has some sad hard luck story ‘nuff to break yer heart. Anyways. My folks and G.I.F.T got me into a mutant training program out of Kansas City to teach me how to better hone my powers. After I graduated from there I decided it was time to do somethin good with my life. So I packed up my bags. Kissed my mom an pop goodbye an moved to Paragon City. The City of Heroes…


== Paragon City ==

When I first got to the city it was a bit overwhelmin. I took a job as a construction worker to get the bills paid, using my size and my TK I did pretty damned well at that job. I could afford my not too crappy apartment in Atlas Park. Had plenty of cash left over for beer and cigars and due to my mutant status was able to get into Pocket D for nights when I wanted to socialize with other super beings, or to take one home. Things were goin pretty well, I even started seeing this guy for awhile. He was a baseline human but man he was a lot of fun and he gave me that kinda emotional connection that a fella needs when he’s in a new place. Granted he dumped me the night we were leaving the Eagle and a buncha jack ass Hellions tried to mug us. I used my TK to fling their sorry asses across the parking lot. But my boyfriend freaked out an after that night never called me again. I mean yeah it sucks, but I guess that’s life sometimes.
After that night though I found myself going out almost every night lookin for crooks. My powers were a gift and I used em to their full advantage. No one knew who I was, but that was ok. They still went to jail just the same. So that’s how my life went for awhile. Work during the day, come home, change clothes, go crime fight. After awhile it got to be such a routine that I didn’t even put any thought into it. My life kinda ran on auto pilot. Until the day I caught a headline in the paper. “Mutant group Evolution-X foils another plot by Grandfather Death!” the story was highlighted bya a picture of a group of costumed heroes bashfully getting their picture taken. I’d heard of Evolution-X before, the mutant program spoke highly of them, but I had never given it a passing thought. But now… now I wanted in. I wanted a place to belong, guidance and friendship. More than anything I wanted to learn from real heroes. So I did what I always do when I want something. I just went for it.


== Evolution-X ==

It was easier than I expected ya know? Gettin into Evo-X was pretty straightforward. A recruiter asked me a few questions, chatted with me for a bit. Asked what I wanted to do with my life and my powers and next thing ya know I have a new home in a dorm with a buncha other mutants, a spankin new high tech costume, instant friends and a new credit card provided by the academy.
I ran with Evo for a good long time, made a few friends and even helped save the world a number of times. Met and dated an awesome guy, Aiden aka Darque Cub. Was interesting being with a hyper genius but he made me laugh and lord did he know how to kiss. We were pretty sweet on each other. Cept Aiden got tangled up in some sorta cross time event. Members of Evo from the future came back in time to warn us of impending doom. And Aiden, being the genius he was, modified a telepad into a time machine, cept part of the backlash mussed with his body and added some stuff called Chronotons to his dna, so he aged extremely fast. We couldn't do anything to help him and he got old and passed pretty quickly. After that I hung up my tights and left Evo for awhile to figure things out for myself and to have some time to grieve.
December 2008
I returned a few years later and things seemed to have all changed. Ally, Steelo, Kromos and Indulge were history, I only saw Metal once and that was in passing and it seems like there are no familiar faces left. But hey, at least it's familiar. Who knows, we'll see.
January 2009
After awhile I began to realize that Evo-X had indeed changed. The spirit and mission seemed to have gone out of the group in my years off and on the team. It kinda just came to me one day I guess, I realized that I just didn't belong with them anymore. And so I left. Hoping to truly use my abilities to change the world. To make this a safer place for mutant and human alike.

== Dark dreamings ==

Lately Jake has been having grim dreams of a dystopian future in which mutant kind has been all but wiped out and those who remain are put to work helping to bring others in, shoved into a sort of concentration camp, or worse yet, used as a macabre sort of living battery.
It seems as no one believes him that such things are possible, but Jake knows that psionic powers work in mysterious ways and he refuses to discount these dreams. Instead choosing the find a way to prevent this from coming to pass.

== NeXt Gen and Recon X ==

In past months Jake has been a student, graduate and now full member of NeXt Gen corporation. A financial and military juggernaut led by a pair of time displaced mutants. Former world dominating villain Galaxyan and the would be mutant messiah, Dayrunner. As a student Jake took part in many minor missions for the academy and even saved the day on his own a few times.
Recently graduated from Gen High Jake has been inducted into NeXt as a full member and he has his eyes set on a field command of his very own. More recently however he has been approached by and inducted into Recon X, the black ops and wetworks division of NeXt Gen. Hardly a surprise for a top secret group of assassins and manipulators to have one of the worlds most powerful psychics on their side. Though, in the end, is he there to watch them? Or are they just keeping him close...

== Mutation and Abilities ==

Psioni Cub has the ability to tap into the enormous psychic resources of the astral plane in order to manipulate matter and energy. This grants him incredible psychic powers including telepathy and telekinesis.

Telepathy:

He can use his telepathy to read minds and even read residual thought imprints left on objects touched by people (psychometry),fire psionic blasts that can scramble an opponent's thought processes (causing the victim either intense pain, or rendering them unconscious). Control and direct ones thought processes, either causing them to fall to sleep or induce all manner of sensory illusions. Psioni Cub has recently gained a fine control over his immense telepathic abilities, putting him on par with other Telepaths such as Sister Psyche and Etiole. His primary focus, however, is his impressive telekinesis.


Telekinesis:

His telekinesis allows him to move, levitate, and manipulate matter by using his thoughts, create defensive shields by focusing his telekinetic energies around himself and others, and channel his psychic powers into explosive psionic force blasts. By levitating himself, he can fly at amazing speeds. He is so adept at manipulating his telekinesis that it is theorized he is capable of nearly any feat from flying to the manipulation of matter at a molecular level. Jake is able to manipulate dust and water vapor in the air to refract light and render himself and others invisible (Concealemnt Pool). A further feat is the ability to manipulate his molecular structure to heal himself rapidly and fortify his stamina (Fitness pool).
His telekinetic aura gives an appearance of green energy and his eyes tend to glow green when he uses his powers. In contrast to most other telekinetics, Psioni Cub tends to focus and channel his mental energy almost exclusively through his hands, very rarely projecting it as a free flow output directly from his brain.

Adaptive Intellect:

Due to Jakes lack of fine control in telepathy he had, until recently, exhibited the ability to subconsciously absorb the knowledge and skills of those around him. Doctor Amanda Ghere theorized that this was a manifestation of his overwhelming desire to learn, and as such his telepathic mind reached out and absorbed the skills and knowledges of those the boy came in contact with. Upon discovering this, he asked the psions at G.I.F.T to erect mental barriers in his mind so as to avoid what he considered a highly immoral activity. Jake however still retains the knowledge he had gained up until this point. It should be noted that Psioni Cub has no idea what knowledges he has absorbed, and seems to only be able to access these skills when and if they are needed. As evidenced by his ability to brew a perfect espresso though having never touched an espresso machine.
((OOC: Force Fields, Flight,Health, Stamina and Stealth are played as Telekinesis. Psychic Blast/Psychic Mastery played as Telepathy))


== Appearance ==

Jake is a tall and muscular boy looking more like an offensive lineman than a high level psion. His brown hair is cut in the latest style and he always sports some form of facial hair. When out of costume he sports various Ursine and LGBT themed tattoos on his chest and arms as well as a set of bear paws on his lower back just above his buttocks. He has green eyes and a pleasant smile. When not in uniform he tends to wear tee shirts, jeans and combat boots. He usually smells of spicy cologne and fine tobacco.
When not geared up for battle or attending classes Jake enjoys spending time at Pocket D or The Eagle (A Levi Leather bar).
A note on the costume in the image.
A lot of folks have asked me why Psi still wears his evolution-x uniform, this isn't his evo-x uniform and doesn't really bear resemblance to their uniforms. This is what he wears when his activities are less than savory or he's doing wetworks and special ops, it's deliberatly left ambiguous as to his allegiance so that his doings can't be traced back to NeXt Gen if somehow he gets caught.
This is what the Evolution-X uniform looks like [1]
