Mr. Dane

Name: Jason Dane

Alias: Undetermined (If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears!)

Age: 19-20 years

Place of birth: somewhere in Canada (possibly Alberta?)

Species: Black-backed jackal

Fur colour/pattern: I don't know how to describe it, so I'll just direct you to this image of a jackal: 3.bp.blogspot.com/-DyjkhHyYh..… his fur colour and patterns are identical.

Eye colour: Grey-blue. His eyes glow blue-white when his powers are in use. The greater the degree to which he is using his powers, the brighter and more intense the glow.

Occupation: Undetermined (former criminal)

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 73.5kg (162lbs)

Outfit: shirt, jeans, shoes, black fingerless gloves, pendant around his neck, long brown coat with high collar and hood

Personality: he is detached, abrasive, tactless (at times), touchy, insensitive, somewhat resentful of authority, truculent (quick to fight and/or argue; also can be rather defiant at times), can be harsh at times, quick-tempered, and sarcastic. He is also nervous (he fears his father, fears that he will wind up back in a life of crime (which he hated), and worries that people will not like or accept him due to his criminal past), values what few friendships he has, and is somewhat vulnerable on the inside. If someone can weather all that negative stuff long enough that he starts to warm up to them, they may find that he's not as bad a guy as he might appear to be. He is dependable when the chips are down, and if he gives you his word, you can be sure that he will hold to it, if he can.

Weapons/Equipment: None

Powers: Jason is an energy manipulator whose powers manifest in the form of four abilities: Psychokinesis (aka telekinesis), Electrokinesis, Thermokinesis, and Energy Awareness (he can sense energy and energy fields of all kinds).
Powers: Jason is an energy manipulator whose powers manifest in the form of four abilities: Psychokinesis (aka telekinesis), Electrokinesis, Thermokinesis, and Energy Awareness (he can sense energy and energy fields of all kinds).
-Energy Awareness: Although he has no idea how it's possible, somehow he can sense energy.  He knows where it is, what type of energy it is, how much there is, and how it's moving (if it's moving).  It's like he sees it, but he doesn't actually see it.  Also, he can only "see" energy in front of him.
-Psychokinesis: telekinesis, of a sort.  By tugging on the electromagnetic energy locked within the chemical bonds which hold solid matter together, Jason can move objects, including himself (he can lift himself off the ground and hover himself around), if they are in his line of sight.  This is the easiest ability for him to use, as, since the energy is locked in the chemical bonds in a stable state, it requires relatively little concentration.  However, it does become more difficult as he attempts to move larger and larger objects (the larger the object, the more energy it contains, and the more difficult it is to move).  The largest object he has thus far been able to move is a police cruiser (which he telekinetically shoved backwards a few feet), but with training he could be able to move a small plane.
-Electrokinesis: Jason can manipulate electricity and electrical currents. He can gather electricity together and/or create electrical currents from it. He can utilize this ability to create electrical blasts and pulses. This ability is somewhat more difficult for him to use, since electricity does not exist in a stable state. Unless it is stored somehow (such as inside a battery), electricity is always flowing and fluctuating. Because of this, Jason must exert more concentration and mental effort to contain the electrical energy (this is not a very easy thing to do!) in addition to directing it.
-Thermokinesis: Jason can manipulate heat energy. He can move heat around, drawing it from one place and focusing it in another. He is capable of removing enough heat energy from a small area to drop the temperature to a little ways below freezing, and of focusing enough heat energy into a small area to melt softer metals (this is at the extreme edge of his capabilities with this ability). This ability is very difficult for him to use effectively, due to the nature of heat energy (heat energy exists in an extremely excited state, and diffuses rather quickly). As a result, Jason must exert enough concentration and mental effort to contain heat energy in one area while also preventing as much of it from escaping as he can while ALSO continuously drawing MORE heat energy in to replace that which escapes. Using his power in this way is often very draining for Jason, and he cannot do it for very long.

The following factors limit Jason's abilities: Jason's ability to focus and concentrate, the amount of energy is attempting to manipulate, and the distance between it and himself. The less he is able to concentrate, the less he can do with his abilities. The greater the amount of energy, the more difficult it is to manipulate (greater amounts of energy require greater concentration and effort on his part. As stated above, the largest object he has thus far managed to move is a police cruiser. I also plan to have him be capable of channeling a lightning bolt with extreme difficulty (and probably pain) at some point in the future). And the greater the distance over which he is exerting his powers, the more difficult it is to manipulate (the greater the distance, the more concentration and effort are required of him). These things can all add up to make things extremely difficult for him. Jason's maximum range, at the moment, is unknown to me, but it's not very far.

In addition to these limiting factors, any electrical and thermal energy which Jason desires to manipulate MUST come from a source OTHER than his own body. This is not because it is impossible for him to manipulate the heat and electricity generated naturally by his body; rather it is a rule set by himself for the following reasons: first, the body naturally keeps itself at a certain temperature, optimal for it's natural functions. Any attempt by Jason to manipulate his own body heat would offset this temperature greatly, and could cause internal damage. Second, with the exception of creatures which have evolved to consciously use electricity in a particular way (such as self-defence), electricity is found in only one form in any being: the electrical impulses generated and utilized by the central and peripheral nervous systems. Any attempt to manipulate this electricity would result in a complete disruption of the nervous systems, and brain death. Jason thinks that he cannot manipulate these impulses anyways (he can't "see" them with his Energy Awareness ability), but he's not about to put that theory to the test, for obvious reasons!

Weaknesses: anything a normal person can succumb to or be affected by, including the energies which he can manipulate; if he touches something hot, he will be burned, and if he directly contacts an electrical current, he will get shocked. And, of course, he could break a bone with his psychokinesis if he's not careful.

Personal info:
-born somewhere in Canada (maybe in Alberta, I don't know yet).
-has an identical twin brother.
-mother died when he was quite young, he and his brother were raised by their father.
-father (who has the same powers as he does, as does his brother), a criminal and gang leader, was a bad influence on both of them.
-got into crime at an early age.
-realized sometime in his mid-teens that his life kinda sucked (he was constantly on the run from the law, and the only person who loved him was his brother (father doesn't really like either of them)).
-Attempted to go straight and get honest work, but it didn't work out (seems people don't like hiring people with criminal records). He was forced to return to crime to survive.
-got taken down, along with his father, by a superhero with psychokinetic abilities of their own, while attempting to rob a bank for money.
-said superhero has since taken pity on him (or something like that) and has offered a way out of crime to better life as a hero like them.
-is currently serving time in a prison for superpowered wrong-doers and is contemplating accepting that superhero's offer.

New character get! Continuing my efforts to create character's worthy of becoming a part of  's Colmaton universe, I give you Mr. Jason Dane, Energy Manipulator Extraordinaire! I haven't yet hammered out ALL the details of his character (such as an alias), so I'll likely be updating this in the near future, but here is what I've figured out so far. I hope you like him!  Comments and criticisms are welcome!

P.s. Just ignore the wrtiliting around him, that's just notes I made for myself.

Jason Dane belongs to me. Please do not use or draw him without prior permission from me. Thank you.
