Save the Cheerleader, Save the World
OOC: Due to the ever-changing nature of my ability, you'll find that you won't be able to absorb my ability, Chaotic Misery. The only way you can absorb it is when my character 'teaches' you it(ie. Sylar teaching Peter Intuitive Aptitude). This should be interesting ;p
Name: Jack 'The Ripper' Hartley
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Ability: Reactive Adaption - Those with this ability are the pinnacle of the evolutionary steps mankind is taking. These individuals are constantly evolving, and will adapt to any situation they are put into. Put them in the water and they grow gills. Put them in the dark and they will gain night-vision. Try to punch one and their skin will harden. While some evolved humans with the ability of Power Mimicry might overload from their constant evolution, these humans will not, as their added abilities go away as soon as conditions are right.
It is, however, possible to bring out these adaptations consciously, though it takes an experienced user to do so.
Types
* 1) Manual - Manual Adaption is the ability to call upon an ability at will. Jack is only able to recall abilities he has used previously.
* 2) Automatic - Automatic Adaption is the ability to evolve an ability almost instantly when it is needed.
* 3) Reactive - Reactive Adaption is the ability to create a counter-ability to an attack - such as Antihealing for Healing / Spontaneous Regeneration, or Cryokinesis for Pyrokinesis.
* 4) Emotional - Possibly the most uncontrollable of all, Emotional Adaption is the ability to gain an ability due to your emotions.
Abilities Recalled:
Aerokinesis
Super Strength
Race: Asian
Personality: As a side effect of being a genius, Jack always had a different view on the world. Everything he did he had done with precision and with the utmost calculating. His thirst to see the extent and potential of human beings could be what triggered his own power. But his thirst for knowledge is leading him down a dangerous road, constantly blurring the lines between intelligence and insanity. And after realizing that he can't die, he is more than ever willing to see 'maximum potential'.
Appearance: Tanned skin, black wavy hair, a mole on the edge of his jaw. He wears casual clothes and changes them everyday, to try and blend in with his surroundings. His hair is always slightly dishelved, but his main trait is his eyes. They're just so hollow, even when he's smiling. They're so dark pupils can't be seen. Maybe it is his pupils? His stare in itself is unnerving. Sinister, even.
Occupation: Formerly scientist in the physics department.
History: Jack is a brilliant mind. He was on the verge of something amazing when he snapped. No one could have seen it coming. Things were destroyed, people were killed. A man that stemmed from a normal childhood with loving parents, and an overall good life, was responsible for the massacre of an entire science department in the blink of an eye. All of this was done with the biggest grin ever possible. With random murders occurring with no relation to its' previous one, no one could know it was him. That he was planning something. That he was mastering his unique ability. What is his motive? What drives him down this road?
The Company is currently on code red when it comes to Jack Hartley, 'The Ripper'.
The manhunt is on, but who is really the predator?
Theme Song: Burn in Hell - Judas Priest
Other: Any supposed harm that comes to Jack, he counters with a specific ability designed for stopping that harm and using it against his enemy. Repeated use of the abilities used to protect him can be understood and recalled, and even developed. He's like a constantly evolving Sylar.
