Gaia Name: Apocolyps85
Name: Andrew Jericho Swain –Referred to as both ‘Andrew/Andy’ and Jericho.
Alias: The Jackal
Age: 24
Alignment: Currently Good
Sexuality: Straight
Personality/Bio:
A caring and passionate individual, Andrew Jericho Swain is a young man who graduated his education early and worked as a Doctor and Psychiatrist -his life dream after his father left his family and turned to a life of crime and his mother passed away- until the events of Arkham Armageddon- at which point, he had been Bruce Wayne’s ward for 5 years. When he was young, Jericho’s Father Daniel Swain left his family for a life of crime, abandoning his ailing Wife and family.
Bullied all throughout his compulsory education due to his fat stature and being somewhat of a loner due his mother’s over protectiveness. He didn’t resent her for this, he was actually somewhat grateful. This extended to his Sister reluctantly being his exploratory base and protector. The bullying became somewhat more physical and inappropriate, until one event in which his childhood bully –and his older sister’s boyfriend at the time- attempted to sexually abuse Jericho. He pleaded to his Sister for help, the one who was supposed to look after him. It was her however that had orchestrated this. Her boyfriend had begun developing this perversion for younger partners, underage partners and Aliseph believed he just needed to ‘let it out’ and get over it and she had always resented having to mother him. Despite all the struggling, no actual intercourse was able to take place.
Realising he was all alone and feeling the most vulnerable he’d ever been, he summoned every ounce of strength he could muster and threw his attacker off of him. Taking this reprieve, he did the only thing his adrenal system would allow-neutralise the threat before it could end him. Pinning his assailant, he relentlessly pounded his enemy’s skull and throat, completely destroying his Larynx rendering him forever mute. Caving his teeth in, Jericho desperately reached for a knife he saw in his foes pocket, no doubt to be used should Jericho have attempted to run.
To ensure that this monster couldn't ever attempt this to another person, Jericho dismembered the man’s phallus and inserted it into the man’s throat, leaving him to suffer the agony and humiliation.
Ascending to his feet with a red mist in his eyes, he became shocked at what he had done. His sister who had caused all of this, planned for the assault, looked at him and called him “Monster!!” With that, Jericho unintentionally and violently backhanded Aliseph, knocking her to the ground. Looking at her brother, she growled “I shall wear it like a badge of honour!”
Glaring with fury, Jericho replied “Well, wear it in silence or I will ‘honour’ you again!”
This day, two things never happened again. The man never assaulted anyone again, nor was he able to urinate by himself again. Jericho was aghast, ashamed and disgusted at what he’d done that day. This gave birth to his biggest fear and hatred- himself, and what he could do to someone. He even went so far as to blame himself for the assault, believing that he deserved it for not being strong enough. This set his resolve in stone, he would abide by a code of honour and he would get stronger, to protect himself and those he loves.
The following day, Aliseph moved out of the family home, leaving a 15 year old, Jericho to nurse his ailing mother. Working to achieve his dream of becoming a Doctor, his passion was further fuelled by his want to help people –which the aforementioned event didn't rob from him- and to attempt to save his Mother or at the very least ease her pain. Jericho despite using his middle name most of his life, began to go by his real name- Andrew- which his Mother preferred. Eventually, his mother passed after she held on to see her son become a qualified Doctor and Psychologist at the astounding age of 19. It was some comfort to know that in her final moments, she was so immensely proud at the man he'd become and his amazing achievements. With that, Andrew ensured that his Mother never knew what he had endured or what her Daughter had done.
A strong sense of justice and a disdain for those who target the weak, he will go out of his way to bring down the hammer upon those individuals with vindictive indifference.
After his Mother's passing, Andrew volunteered at his medical school for a medical trail to assess the safety of males donating at an increased frequency. Signing a legal waver, he noticed a clause that upon the event that individuals required resuscitation allowed them to use experimental measures if deemed necessary.
During the procedure, his blood was being donated as normal however the machine doing the procedure had been tampered with and instead of stopping at the usual level, it kept draining. Despite raising concerns with staff, they assured him his symptoms were part of the process, unaware of the mistake. Upon being almost completely exsanguinated, Andrew fell into a coma. Due to the small amount of his own blood left, donor blood couldn’t be given back to him as it would result in a host-donor attack in his body, killing him. With failed attempts at resuscitating him and fear the lack of oxygen to his brain would leave him brain dead, an experimental procedure designed to stimulate and enhance cardiovascular system and adrenal glands was implemented successfully resuscitating him and allowing him to take small amounts on blood, while he generated his own. This happened extremely quickly and resulted in greater reflexes, strength, durability, speed, general physical efficacy and increase mental capacity and healing that resulted in decelerated ageing.
Power: NOTE: The following abilities aren't this potent from the beginning, this is what they will finally become after years of training.
Unique Physiology: Due to a medical enhancement procedure, Andrew's physiology was changed permanently. First, the procedure crippled his mind and body. Then, the experiment rebuilt his physical and mental faculties further than a human could process or build. These enhancements make The Jackal an enhanced human, not superhuman but afford him the enhancements.
Enhanced Intellect: Able to think 9 times faster and utilize that much more of his mind than your average human for information processing and sorting, Jericho’s mind is virtually a computer built for strategy and problem-solving, one that works at optimal ability even when under stress and fatigue. He is also ingenious in devising solutions against superior aspects of opponents, can observe and exploit, and can calculate distance, speed, and time at lightning speeds; his sense of timing is superb, bordering on perfection. He is still trying to improve his detective and interrogation skills.
Due to his background as a Doctor, psychologist and mentalist/cold reader, he is able to easily read a person’s thoughts and emotions, enabling him to determine if a person is lying or not. Furthermore, he is more capable of deceiving others and less susceptible to deceit.
With full knowledge of the human body and its mechanics, he is able to use this to multiple ends e.g. saving someone, in combat and interrogation etc.
Enhanced Reflexes: Andrew possesses enhanced reflexes. The speed at which he reacts allows him to dodge fast-moving projectiles such as arrows. Later, through experience and training he will be able to do the same with bullets. He can usually out-react even the fastest humans, no matter how well-trained.
Enhanced Speed: Ability to run at speeds of up to 30mph and long distances far out-performing any Olympic athlete.
Enhanced Stamina: Andrew can exert himself at peak capacity greater than most humans could.
Enhanced Strength: His entire muscular system was hardened and strengthened making Andrew many times stronger than an average human to the point of tearing off an airplane door and twisting steel with his bare hands.
Enhanced Senses: Jericho’s senses have been augmented to higher levels of ability. He can perceive things better than a normal human. This includes, but is not limited to:
Enhanced Hearing
Enhanced Sense of Smell
Enhanced Vision
Regenerative Healing Factor: With an enhanced ability to heal damaged tissue, the rate at which Andrew's body recovers from injury and capable of being repaired before death as long as his brain is intact. As such, Andrew's body can take a tremendous amount of punishment before succumbing to death. Simple gunshot and stab wounds, cuts, and broken bones can heal faster than normal. He was once impaled clean through his chest, and it did nothing but slow him down and cause great pain.
Enhanced Immunity: Andrew's regenerative abilities have some effect on his body's ability to process through harmful, foreign substances and he has become naturally immune to deadly poisons and illnesses.
Retarded/decelerated Ageing: An important aspect to note is that while Andrew is apparently ageing, he does so very slowly, appearing younger than he actually is.
Pain resilience: Due to the procedure performed upon him, activities that stimulate his adrenal glands e.g. combat allow him resistance to pain.
Tactical Analysis: Andrew is a great strategist and tactician. Always calculating his opponent’s moves beforehand. He has been compared to Batman –by Batman- in terms of tactical methods. Even against meta-humans he has proven more than a match for them all at once with time to prepare. Using his superior problem-solving skills, Jericho can work out a battle ahead of time for many possibilities and predict enemy movements and tactics after the battle has engaged by recalling and utilizing memorized mannerisms acquired through past experience on a moment's notice.
Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Andrew trained in hand-to-hand combat and when he was taken under Bruce’s metaphorical wing, picking up skills taught to him quickly. Later he received martial arts training in various styles. After mastering these martial arts he furthered his studies when he sought an assassin known as Dolby to train him in the ways of Ninja and had studied assassination techniques. He has however, never defeated Batman in hand to hand combat.
Boxing
Jujitsu
Karate
Ninjitsu
Muay Thai
Bear style
Swordsmanship: Andrew is a highly trained swordsman; he is able to dual-wield a pair of katanas and to use them with deadly accuracy and an almost-superhuman speed.
Other: It should be noted that Andrew's key weakness is that he refuses to hit a woman.

His father left after a night of passion and never even knew he had a son, his mother a highly religious catholic saw Jebediah as a mistake and punished him anytime anything went wrong. Growing up in constant fear of his own mother who viewed him as a punishment from god for all the mistakes in her life leading to a physically, mentally and emotionally abusive relationship. This was also emulated by his peers throughout his education. He grew up with no friends and no one to reach out to and his own loneliness drove him insane. As a child he became plagued with terrible nightmares of a ghoulish creature that would come to kill him. Night after night he would wake up in a pool of sweat screaming and often wake his mother up which would result in a violent beating.
As a teenager he found out that who is father was he attended Gotham University on a field trip, it was there that he acquired a taste for psychology in an attempt to follow in his father’s footsteps and subsequently earn the love of his father unfortunately the trip had to leave before he had a chance to speak to his father. Jebediah spent his early teens reading every book he could get his hands on about psychology and the human mind, he became obsessed with the human mind and the effect of various emotions have on the human mind particularly fear . In his late teens he had become a master of his fears and was incredibly perceptive of the emotions of others he was even able to read them and predict their moves. Using this new found skill on the last day of college he confronted his childhood bully and got into a fight, during the fight his head got smashed against a set of lockers and Jebediah lost control, he discovered a new side to himself a darker, more malicious side.

Returning home and on the run from the police Jebediah’s mother tried to lock him in the house thinking that prison would be the perfect solution for her ‘devil child’ unfortunately Jebediah’s dark side took over and he murdered his own mother after torturing her for 3 long hours.
On the run at age 20 Jebediah quickly learned the meanness of the streets and found himself coerced into working with a gang of a villain named Two Face. Little did Two Face know it was Jebediah’s plan to come to Gotham and take his own gang to have the city that once mocked him bow at his feet unfortunately he misjudged Two Faces scarred psyche and when he went in for the kill Two face shot him in the shoulder which caused Jebediah to run away disgraced.
Alone and injured Jebediah wondered the streets in a constant battle with his own mind, he finally cracked and his dark side permanently took over unfortunately due to his wound which he’d not been able to patch up he was slowly bleeding out and dying. One night he became weak and collapsed in a gutter and blacked out.
When he woke up he was in a makeshift operating room and a man with a bandaged face was standing in the corner of the room, Jebediah grabbed the nearest sharp object and attempted to attack the bandaged man but due to the anaesthetic he was unable to run at him and was quickly overpowered the man explained who we was after he had time to rest Jebediah and Hush had become acquaintances and Hush performed one final surgery for Jebediah turning his face into a copy of his childhood fear ‘the ghoulish creature’.
Donning a midnight blue suit and a white mask sporting nothing but a mouth in a wide grin he hit the streets with new information on his father’s whereabouts. After navigating his way through the sewers he finally found his father’s secret base. Upon seeing his father making a fresh batch of his fear inducing powder he decided to reveal his presence Scarecrow took this the wrong way and attacked Jebediah after a brief battle Jebediah revealed that he was Crane’s son but Crane refused to accept him and attempted to kill him. This was the final thing that pushed Jebediah over the edge and he left swearing to his father that he would make him proud one day!
After finding a location to establish a base he started cooking a batch of his father’s fear dust using the recipe he had noticed scattered all over the work bench in his father’s lair. After he cooked his first batch he noticed how it could be modified and changed to formula in order to make the drug activate only when the victim fell asleep causing them to have a nightmare they would then wake up and still be under the effects of the drug so they’d believe they were in their nightmare then nightmare would toy with his victims and eventually kill them.
After a year of killing Gotham’s biggest names and celebrities Nightmare had worked up a name for himself and even collected his own band of thugs from various other gangs, despite how much people knew his name no one knew his true identity because no one ever saw his distorted face and lived. After 3 years he had become a master of using fear even surpassing his own father and had many run-ins with the Batman.
During one killing one night he noticed a strange yellow light traveling towards him so he shot his target and turned to see a yellow ring floating in mid-air. All of a sudden a voice rung out and told him he’d been accepted into the Sinestro Corps after putting the ring on he was transported away for his training. Upon his return to Earth he chose to keep his ring on him at all times but only use in certain situations, however due to his new training he was now the ultimate master of fear and Gotham woud soon be his!
