Personality: Jasper is attracted to all things art, from paintings, to martial styles. He is friendly, but doesn't take kindly to unwarranted insults or provocations. He will respond violently to violence due to chemical imbalances, but on a general basis Jasper is a nurturing individual who finds success in helping others succeed.
History: Jasper was born somewhere in Aekea, but shortly there-after moved to Barton. His first memorable early years were spent growing up and finding his interests in life. Even from a young age, Jasper was fascinated with shiny metals. Suits of armor, brandished swords, flashing gemstones set in golden bands. He loved the way it looked. He also found that unlike other children there was a connection between him and the metals. He could feel their magnetic fields, consciously, and with enough focus, he found that he could manipulate them. After many attempts, he was able to magnetize two spoons together, and this was his first manifestation with his latent psychokinetic power.
Over the years, he learned to hone this power, and found that martial arts training allowed him to better focus his mind. h took up several styles, melding them into one style focusing strikes, throws, and holds all together. His parents were very supportive, until Jaspers mother died from a terminal illness on Jaspers 15th birthday. After that, Jaspers father became somewhat distant and cold. This did not deter the boy however, from his dream. A blacksmith in town finally accepted Jasper as an apprentice, and here he honed his muscles and powers by working iron into steel.
Seasons would pass, and Jaspers father died as well from unexplained circumstances, though Jasper assumed it was grief. He didn't let this get to him, and he continued to pursue his carrier. When his apprenticeship with the blacksmith was completed, he was presented with a special pattern weld katana as a gift, and with the smiths blessing, Jasper set off to learn the craft of silver smithing at the age of 17. This was the most delicate work Jasper ever attempted, and it helped him to hone his powers from pure force, to accurate and delicate movements. His first 57 attempts at ring crafting failed, and the next 30 were atrociously misshapen. It would take a whole year for Jasper to finally get the skill down. By his 18th birthday, Jasper was a successful jeweler, and could preform the very delicate motions required to set the tiniest of stones in the hardest places. From here, he began a word-of-mouth sales business and received enough commissions to pay for a small apartment.
Jasper would live here for four years, training in his martial style and making his jewelery. He had now also started crafting swords and armor pieces, and through practice he learned how to fluctuate the power of his abilities from the sheer power used in forging, to the gentle manipulations used in softer metals. His business blossomed, and he opened up a shop with 5 employees working for him to make armor pieces or jeweler, every member had his specialty. Now that he had more free time though, Jasper sought something new. Word of Ju Bu reached his ears, and without a moments pause, Jasper set out to find this place.
Updates:
After some time here at the dojo, Jasper has learned much about himself and the others around him, one in particular. His personal business has been doing quite well due to the things he'd learned about his own powers, and the time he'd spent training with the "Silite".
Appearance: Jasper is not horribly tall, or short. Not very heavy, but built from the labor of black smithing. After some changes in his income and personality, Jasper has upgraded his wardrobe. He wears a small black t-shirt, a pair of thick leather pants, a leather jacket with metal plates fixed into the chest and spine of the jacket. His boots are still usable for work. They are not steel toed, as dropping heavy metals on the toes can potentially bend down and cut the toes off, but rather the instep of the foot is plated, and the sides. He wears a pair of knuckle gloves, plated with steel beads on the back of each fist. His hair is golden blond, and his eyes are a peculiar yellow color. His ears are both pierced, two rings in each ear.
Martial Arts Styles: MMA style influenced by Escrima, Karate, and Jujutsu
Weapons and Equipment:
Rhenium Diboride Maul: A massive war hammer. This thing weighs about 90 pounds alone, but is crafted from the very tough material Rhenium Diboride. It's a synthetic metallic crystal that is harder than diamonds, and will not react to iron to make iron carbide.
Steel Orb: A ball of steel just large enough to fill Jaspers hand without having the fingertips touching. It weighs about 10 pounds, and with Jaspers unique connection to the magnetic field of the metal orb, he is able to alter it's shape over time, or control it's movement telekinetically.
Special Abilities:
Jaspers ability can be construed as a form of electrokenisis, but it roots itself directly in metals. Using calories stored up in Jaspers body, or for more advanced maneuvers, the iron in Jaspers blood, Jasper is able to manipulate metals and the electromagnetic fields associated with them. He is also still able to manipulate non-magnetic metals, but he must get a charge into them first. Jasper must also be familiar with the specific frequency of the metals first, which can take 5 to 10 minutes of concentration to determine. Through martial arts training, Jasper has also learned how to manipulate the electromagnetic field around himself and others to gather small orbs of kinetic force. Using metals in this technique, Jasper is able to boost their power from the force of a light shove, to a donkey kick.
Once again, these powers use up the calories stored in Jaspers body, or they break down the iron in Jaspers blood, like a battery.
