APPEARANCE:

Hal is a fairly average-looking middle-class American male. He has medium length, wavey brown hair, deep carmel brown eyes, a somewhat angular face, and a medium-fair complexion. At just under 5'9" and 136 pounds, Hal is a somewhat lanky, toned and reasonably well-defined frame. He is clean-shaven and generally prefers to dress casually in jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters, etc. The one element which stands out from the typical mid-western style of dress is his smoked, John Lennon style blinders that he often wears. When he smiles, it is a soft, shy and somewhat reserved yet genuinely warm sort of smile. Otherwise, the rest of his features are more or less typical, with no unusual or distinguishing characteristics.

Note: NC-17; I'm open to pretty much anything aside from character death; So long as you're character is capable of it, I'm fine with it. So feel free to sling him over your shoulder or whatever and have fun I say! I would appreciate it if my character was not permanently maimed or slain without first being contacted (If he must die, I'd like to make the death count.)

NATURE:

PERSONALITY:

Hallelujah Jones, or Hal as he is commonly referred to, tries to project a happy-go-lucky, free-spirited, 'I've-got-my-shit-together' sort of vibe to the world. Like most people the face he shows the world is nothing more then a mask which he uses to hide all of his insecurities, fears and phobias. The biggest of his fears is that he might actually be insane, or going insane due to his telepathic nature.

Hal is given more to asking questions of others and listening to them then he is to speaking about himself.

Like most people, his life experiences are somewhat unique as are his perceptions of life and the world. As such he is slightly inept socially, hence his reasons for being more of a 'listener' then a 'talker'.

ADVANTAGES:

Fast Exit: Hallelujah Jones can attack physically and move to firing distance before any foe can complete an action that affects he. But make sure he've properly analyzed the situation, because if even one of the opponents has an Intellect higher than his Agility, any of his opponents can redirect actions toward he, and he can't dodge any of them.

History: The science of humanity's past. Hallelujah Jones knows of lessons from past events that may have an impact on the modern day. If he are transported back in time, he can pass for a native of the past time period.

Mythology: The study of classical myths, which may seem all too real in a world where Thor, Hercules, and Dracula walk the earth. Hallelujah Jones should treat this like the Lore skill above when considering either a real-world or purely fictional culture.

Observation: The use of all sensory powers with Willpower trump suits, plus a general ability to tell when something is interesting or out of place.

Occult: The study of mystical practices. Hallelujah Jones know about magical societies, antiquities, runes, and forgotten lore. This skill is required to create magic items.

Research:)

Stealth: The art and science of avoiding detection. Hallelujah Jones is awareness of their body, of their body's movements and most importantly of it's limits. This understanding allows them to move with the utmost care and silence, and also to freeze stock-still in a concealing shadow when necessary in an effort to avoid detection. Likewise, he can also prowl about rooftops and the like; high-technology electronic systems and some superpowers and heightened senses, however, will negate this ability.

Survival: Dealing with the rigors of outdoor life. Hallelujah Jones can use this skill any time he are faced with natural challenges, such as frigid cold, desert heat, starvation, and loss of direction.

Trivia: A mishmash of specialized knowledge. Hallelujah Jones have one or more subjects which he are expert in. This can be anything: old movies, military history, sports, rock music, comic books, he name it.

POWERS:

ASTRAL TRANSFORMATION - Like many telepaths, Cheshire is capable of projecting his psychic self into the Astral depths. However he does so by literally altering the nature of the elements and compounds within his own body, transforming living flesh, tissue, and personal artifacts into their ectoplasmic equivalents. The astral body is intangible and near-invisible to all normal senses causing him to appear more as distortion with teeth (hence the nickname of Cheshire). Innate safeguards maintain his lifeforce in this altered state. When astral, Cheshire is able to move at the speed of thought, thus by thinking of a particular place he can transition there can be near instant. If a location is not know to him then he would simple move as fast as he could while still being able to comprehend what he could see and sense while he searched. At this time, Cheshire is unaware of what exactly his astral abilities will allow him to do. Currently he believes that he can 'teleport' limited distances of upto a mile—his own beliefs as to what his power is and how it works limits him.

MEDIUMSHIP - While Cheshire generally dismisses the supernatural as a lot of bunk, he is capable of actually communicating with the dead. He can not summon the spirits of those who've pasted, nor can he see their spirits at this time. However when and if they choose to speak to him, he is capable of hearing their whispers.

TELEPATHY Cheshire is capable of communicating on a direct mind-to-mind basis. This is automatic with willing or weaker willed minds, and somewhat challenging with unwilling minds or when dealing with minds possessing a willpower equal to his own. Those beings who are unwilling and have a willpower greater then that of Cheshire 's, or some form of natural or artificial psionic defense are difficult but not necessarily impossible (anyone who's characters mind is read must consent to said action).

TELEPATHIC INVISIBILITY - Cheshire has the ability to render his own mental energies/life force/physical presence undetectable via his telepathic abilities. His invisibility causes him not to be noticed by living, sentient beings, protecting him from discovery by any means other then electronic. Hence a person could be looking directly at him, and their own mind would tell him that they don't 'see him', thus causing them to act as if they were not taking notice of him. This invisibility also adds to his ability to mentally resistance to undesired probes and psionic attacks.

TELEPATHIC SCAN - Cheshire can telepathically probe a living mind or a psionic phenomenon to gain a detailed analysis of the subject he is scanning. Living minds can be searched for specific images and thoughts, although he must have a basic idea beforehand of what he is looking for.

Cheshire can also use his Telepathic talents to detect the presence of the living by scanning an area (144 ft x144 ft). Such scans can also detect independently existing psychic phenomena; Such things include poltergeists, psionic emissions that were so strong they permeated the area scanned and now continually echo, and psionic Powers intercepted by the him.

TELEPATHIC TRANSLATION - Just as Cheshire is able to understand any mind which he reads, so too can he understand anyone who is speaking to him. He can even respond to that person in the language they are speaking in so long as he is within close proximity to them (50 ft.). This is a specialized use of his telepathic abilities, and as such he does not actually learn any languages, he is simply using the target's language centers. Note: Cheshire must be capable of reading the subjects mind in order to use this ability, hence he can not speak to the animals, or alien races if they are too 'alien' as to be 'unreadable'.

DISADVANTAGES:

DANGER MAGNET - For reasons beyond his understanding, Hal, like his mother, 'Danger-Prone' Daphne Jones, is a danger-magnet. Trouble seems to seek him out regardless of what he does or where he goes. As such he is currently taking an internet class in 'escapology' inbetween kidnappings, bar-mitzvahs and other small calamities which tend to befall him.Love Lost: Hal is a born romantic, and as such easily falls for a pretty face. As such he's also easily manipulated by a pretty face.

MORAL CODE - No matter what, Hallelujah Jones will not kill or more importantly, allow someone else to kill or be killed by there actions or lack there of regardless of the situation or mitigating circumstances. Likewise, and to a lesser degree, they will not permit others to be harmed and try to minimize property damage where possible. Saving lives takes precedence over all, even over catching the bad guys. Needless to say there are times when this code causes problems.

MORTAL - When it comes down to the nitty gritty, Hallelujah Jones is human. Regardless of any armor they might wear, whens they might carry or even performance enhancing drugs they might take, Hallelujah Jones is only human. His body is as susceptible to pain, injury and disease as that of the next person. Regardless of how often they train or how intensely they train, or how much they try to push their physical limits, they are human and subject to the physical limits of being human. Being human, they can be permanently hurt or die quite easily in comparison to some metas. A baseball bat to the head, a bullet wound to the chest, an allergic reaction to a peanut, slipping in the shower, all of these and more can result in permanent death for the character.

SECRET IDENTITY - Hallelujah Jones came to believe early on that it is important to maintain some kind of anonymity when acting beyond the reaches of the law. As such, He wears a mask, may don a wig, or some similar means of disguise so as to conceal their legal identity from that of the general public. Generally, this means He keeps there two identities secret from others regardless of there relationship with said person(s). They believe this offers a level of protection and comfort to those they care for, love and wish to remain safe. Likewise it also allows them someplace to go when they need rest-they can escape into their 'legal' identity. This can caused cause a strain on relationships. It also causes problems in keeping it from family, friends (of Hal) and of course from the authorities. It can also be difficult keeping one side of his life intruding into the other side.

UNIFORM:

Hal prefers to dress casually in jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters, etc., rather then that of super hero styled costume. The one element which stands out from the typical mid-western style of dress is his smoked, John Lennon style blinders that he often wears.
