Personal Information ____________________________________________________
Name: Johnathan Edwards Nickname(s): Ghost ( or other paranormal associations ) Status: Student Occupation: Security Date of Birth: February 14th Age: 17 Gender: Male Nationality: American Ethnicity: Asian American ( and it doesn't really matter ) Dominant Hand: Right Religious Belief: Spiritual Sexual Orientation: Unknown, Unsure Alignment: Neutral Good Eye Color: Brown Hair: Blond
Physical Appearance An attractive face framed by short blond hair, dark brown eyes that contrast well his pale complexion, and a slender muscular body to complete the look. Johnathan typically wears business appropriate, business casual, or even casual attire so long as it looks fashionable. It just depends on what he's in the mood to wear and exactly what he's doing in a day. He may also sport more of a bed head or punk hairstyle, but it isn't all that often.
Mentality and Personality ____________________________________________________
INTX | Logical
✔ Nonconformist - He won't bend or break for the status quo or anyone unless it pleases him to do so. ✔ Confident - But not boastful. He knows what he's good for and confesses to what he isn't readily. ✔ Laid Back - Not high strung or demanding, he makes moves at a comfortable and reasonable pace. ✔ Intuitive - A core part of his personality, and how he perceives the people around him and world he lives in. ✔ Loving - To chosen ones only. He has high standards for the ideal lover and friend he sees himself being. ✔ Understanding - Been and seen enough to know the world isn't black and white.
⚌ Slow to Trust Others - Most don't or are incapable of knowing him very personally. Enjoy the facade. ⚌ Independent - Not looking for co-dependents either. ⚌ Semi-Introverted - Even after learning the benefits of extroversion he's an introvert at heart. ⚌ Golden Boy - He tries to follow the Golden Rule and other worthy moral standards. ⚌ Mature Beyond His Age - Personality and life experiences have given him some crash course lessons. ⚌ Cleanliness and Health Snob - Get used to it or get out of his sphere.
✘ Slight Chance of Arrogance - It happens. Sometimes he's feeling himself. A lot. ✘ Stingy - His generosity is short lived and he doesn't like sharing unless there's some gain for it. ✘ May Hold Grudges - So don't get on his bad side. You'd have to be a real prick to get there. ✘ Honest to a Fault - Objective truth is better than political tact and irrational feelings, in his opinion. ✘ Impatient - Concerning interpersonal relationships, he won't wait for you to get your shit together.
Power ____________________________________________________
Intangible Hallow
Johnathan can make himself intangible so as to phase through physical objects by reforming his molecular structure. Particle form also enables him to restructure and shift his body, which he preferably shapes in the form of a ghastly silhouette with glowing eyes. In this form Johnathan can grow up to four claw hands which can deal physical damage. While intangible Johnathan can not interact with the physical world otherwise. Likewise, physical attacks have little effect on him, displacing his particles until he is able to gather them again. Fun fact: there's a chance he'll be carried away by strong winds while intangible.
Ghost Things Ghosts are his theme and he's happily running with it. Especially during Halloween and other noteworthy days. He likes to volunteer at haunted houses, pumpkin patches, and the like. He gets a kick out of engaging children as a ghost.
Photography, Scrapbooking, Poetry A few pastimes he's not quick to share with others as they're rather personal or seemingly gives others a window into himself that he'd rather keep reserved.
Healthy Living He does his best to eat properly and stay in shape. Typically by following a special diet and hitting the gym.
Playing the Piano The piano is one of his favorite instruments and rather easily played when using four hands. He can hardly read sheet music or understand music theory. It's just a hobby that he's managed to become good at and doesn't care to make it any more serious than that.
Philosophical Introspection, Learning, Reading There are plenty things to contemplate and learn about the world, and how to apply the good parts to himself.
Romance Novels, Chick Flicks Nuff said.
History ____________________________________________________
A dirty ghetto rat living in a broken and abusive home. Life was always better when his father wasn't around because he was serving jail sentences. For some reason his mother kept welcoming the man back whenever he did get out. Johnathan spent as much time away from home as he could in those times, at friends and family member's homes. The first time he discovered he was a metahuman was back in elementary when he attempted to commit suicide. The train should have hit him but instead it passed right through. He took it for a miracle and an answer to the sudden regrets he felt about his decision. Then he started to notice it happening even after that; being chastised for clumsiness when items seemingly sifted right through his hands, waking up on the floor beneath his bed, and other such occurrences. He started experimenting and then he got good at it.
In an attempt to help his mother make ends meet and possibly persuade her from taking back his father who was yet again incarcerated Johnathan started stealing money from people. His mother was horrified but he never told her how he did it or what he was. It was his secret. She came to depend on him anyways but his father still came back. Johnathan's secret was eventually found out. When his father tried to use him as a pawn to get the things he wanted the kid rebelled and realized how little control the man had over him now. It wasn't long after that the kid left, but not before giving his father a piece of his own medicine and telling off his mom. So Johnathan went solo, got emancipated, and learned to make a way for himself in the world.
He was eventually contacted by Paradigm Academy and decided to make the jump. He didn't really know what to expect, but at least he'd get to experience being among others who were metahumans like he was.
Also just for clarification, he's a student at paradigm but working as security there? Or elsewhere? (And just a reminder that students cannot go on missions but can eventually do so if they become an agent).
