Appearance: Standing at a height of 6 feet and 3 inches Jacob Wilson, known amongst his friends as Switchblade, in normal terms would be considered a very handsome boy. He has short brown hair that has slight curls in the bangs and the edges, and piercing green eyes that seem to reflect a deep thinker and a strategic mind. His skin is nearly flawless which is unusual for a boy his age, and his ears are slightly pointed with a curvature that you see in other human beings. He has a shorter torso compared to most boys, but he makes that up in leg length and arm length. He also when out of costume usually wears jeans and a pair of boots that cover his shin, a white collard shirt, and a greyish jacket that covers a majority of his body over the white collard shirt, along with a pair of black gloves and a pair of sunglasses.

Personality: Jacob is a very friendly person amongst his friends, he tries to avoid conflict with people he doesn't know. However, due to this he can come off as cold, he is also very intelligent despite his pretty boy looks and this combined with hisavoidance of conflict can come off to a lot of people as 'stuck up'. When entering a conflict however he is the type of person who can think up strategies on the fly, and though intelligent, charismatic, and easy to lead he prefers to not be in a leadership position. He has a love for certain things such as video games, baseball, and soccer, however he also has a strong dislike for things such as football, romance movies, and compititions of the mind. He also spends some of his money and time collecting collectibles such as action figures, statuettes, and models that he can put together and paint, this occupies his time when he is not hanging out with friends, or otherwise.

Background: Born to Mary and Robert Wilson, Jacob was born in Mina a small town in Nevada that housed barely 300 people, his family and him knew a great many people across the town. At a young age Jacob showed an affinity to intelligence and strategy quickly rising up to become leader of the group of friends he had, and a well liked leader at that. At the age of 7 he had the intelligence of a teenager and it showed when he took aptitude tests and other tests in Kindegarten and in tests supplied for him by the government as requested by his parents. By the age of 13 he was getting into trouble, his friends were pressuring him into stealing and other things, however due to the size of the town it was inevitable that they would've got caught and after a stern repremanding and a returning of the goods that he stole in question his parents decided that it was best to leave Mina, Nevada and after a few months of preperation they moved to Los Angeles. There, he started a new school and thanks to his charisma and intelligence he was capable of making new, and better friends then he did before. At fourteen he discovered his interest in the sport of baseball and applied to play with the school league which he successfully did, he also discovered his interest in things such as writing, be it story, poetry, whatever, and an interest in model building and collecting collectiables. He stayed playing baseball for a year and at the age of fifteen he discovered a powerful fact about himself, after losing one of the baseball games he discovered in a fit of anger after everyone was gone that he was a mutant thanks to his intelligence, charisma, and control he didn't lose control over his power immediately which is an unusual state for a newely awoken mutant, and he eventually tamed himself and taught himself how to use his powers and hide them from others. However, knowing the dangers of using these powers he quickly decided to quit the baseball team and seperate himself from everyone but his closest friends focusing on his writing, model building, and collecting rather then going out and being that friendly guy that he used to be... At the age of 17 he went to the comic book store one day, to get one of the new comics that he had been waiting for...

Source of Income- Just describe please

Origin of Powers: Mutant

Powers: You don't need to put anything here, but you can put a description of your overall powers.
-BANNED POWERS- Mind-Reading, Sorcery, Animal Form. A Mutant is just a Mutant - it is not a furry or a catgirl or a vampire or monster, or anything else but a mutant.

Power- Replace the word 'Power' there with the name of a power. Copy this as needed for multiple powers.
*Stunt- Stunts directly related to a power should be posted directly under that power.

Q: TRISH WHAT IS A STUNT
A: A 'Power' is a super ability. A 'Stunt' is something that you have learned to do with that power. Simple powers do not have any stunts, complex ones have lots.
The Flash, for example. His 'Power' is super speed. With that power, he has learned to do things like; punch the same spot 100 times in a second, spin his arms and make a wind funnel; vibrate through solid matter - these are Stunts.

Equipment: As Powers above, you don't need to write anything here but hey feel free. 'Equipment' is stuff you carry, from a weapon to a high tech gadget. If you have a gun, post it here.

Equipment- Replace 'Equipment' with the name of a gadget, and describe what it does. Copy this section as needed.

Weaknesses: As Powers above. A 'Weakness' is something superhuman, or at the very least unique to you (or your alien species). A superhuman weakness is like Superman's weakness to Kryptonite - the average person doesn't worry about that. A unique weakness is like a phobia of spiders - it's not something most people worry about. Things true to the average person, like not being buletproof, are not weaknesses.

Weakness- Copy as nessecary, changing 'Weakness' to your weakness. Describe its effects.


Contacts: Special people or places you have access to and can get help from.

Knowledges: Special things you are educated on that the average person is not. You may or may not get bonuses; just describe how good you are.

Skills: As above, but with skills.

Notable Notes: Anything else you feel the need to mention.

GRAVEYARD SHIFT

Name: Jacob Wilson
Codename: Switchblade

Age: 17

Death did not damage Jacob's outer body much. While an X-Ray would make him look more like a bag of rocks than a man with a skeleton, on the surface he has simply developed a bit of a ghostly glow.

He also spends some of his money and time collecting collectibles such as action figures, statuettes, and models that he can put together and paint, this occupies his time when he is not hanging out with friends, or otherwise. Unfortunately, there is another side of Jacob; bottled up rage and frustration. He hides it well and lets him drive him as passion in his day-to-day life, but when he gets pushed over the edge he can explode into a violent rage.

Background: Born to Mary and Robert Wilson, Jacob was born in Mina a small town in Nevada that housed barely 300 people, his family and him knew a great many people across the town. At a young age Jacob showed an affinity to intelligence and strategy quickly rising up to become leader of the group of friends he had, and a well liked leader at that.

However, knowing the dangers of using these powers he quickly decided to give up his dreams of the Major Leagues and separate himself from everyone but his closest friends focusing on his writing, model building, and collecting rather then going out and being that friendly guy that he used to be... At the age of 17 he went to the comic book store one day, to get one of the new comics that he had been waiting for.

He never made it to the shop. On his way there, he heard muffled cries for help and followed them to an alley. In the dark corridor, he saw a girl his age being raped by two men. Angry, he activated his secret powers, nits of debris swirling into his palms and eventually forming a bat studded with gravel. He made short work of the two men, and walked the girl out of the alley to take her to the police station. He was met by a Trask Mark 9 Sentinel. It had picked up the activation of his powers and was here with a message - "Halt, mutant!"

Halt? He was being attacked by a giant robot because he had SAVED someone from being RAPED? This was more than he could handle after the last few years of life he had led. He sent away the girl and the bat and formed two swords, edges glistening with steel shredded from some trash cans. He narrowed his eyes and brought forth his weapons, and moved in to teach the sentinel a lesson.

It stepped on him.

Jacob got to feel the most unique sensation of every bone in his body being crushed, starting with his feet, up to his skull. He did not expect to get the chance to complain about this to anyone, so one can only imagine his surprise as he woke up on a stone table in a mausoleum. He was in a full-body cast, and the first thing he saw through his eye-holes was a girl who introduced herself as Alice. She was very excited to see him awake, and quickly broke him out of the shell. Out of the gauze and plaster cocoon, he felt - cold, and heavy. He could see and hear and smell and move and think, but he did not feel alive.

Alice explained that he was not.

She had raised him from the dead as the first in a line of mutants who had been killed my sentinels. They would wage a dark war against the ignorance that had ordered their death and the devices that had carried it out. Jacob was through pretending to be something he was not, and fed up with being persecuted for the great man he was supposed to be. He agreed without a second thought.

Origin of Powers: Magical Zombie Mutant

Powers:

Telekinetic Alchemy- Jacob has the Incredible(40) ability to summon small pieces of unattended debris to his hands, and to turn weaker unattended objects INTO debris. Once he has gathered it, he can turn it into simple one-piece objects.
Note:
Unattended' refers to material that no one else is using for anything. It works fine on loose debris scattered through the city, but does not allow him to take something from someone else or tear apart something important.
*Summon Debris- Jacob need only spend an action to summon up a good amount of debris, ready for use.
**Reject Debris- If Jacob has already summoned some debris, as an additional action he can fire it off in a shrapnel blast for Remarkable(20) Damage.
*Fix Object- Jacob can roll his Telekinetic Alchemy to repair a small device (toaster sized) that has been broken by physical trauma. This is only a functional repair, though, and the marks of the damage will still show.

*Alchemical Forging- Once Jacob has summoned up some debris, he can spend another action to forge it into a sword, bat, shortspear, or other one-piece melee weapon that deals Strength+10 Damage. Through concentration, his weapon is made of a primary ingredient to give it a special bonus.
**Forge Stone- Rock, concrete, pavement, gravel - the weight of the earthy material makes this weapon do 50% higher damage (as though it was rolled one color higher). This does not improve the outcome of the roll, only the damage.
**Forge Metal- Car parts, tin cans, shredded garbage bins - the metal gives the metal Remarkable(20) Armor Piercing.
**Forge Wood- Broken stairs, crates, dead twigs - the lightness of the weapon gives him +1 to Attack and Defense rolls while he is armed.
**Forge Glass- Broken windows, broken bottles. broken cell phones - The impossibly thin edge of broken glass makes a fragile weapon that is extremely sharp. Edged weapons made with it deal double damage to organic targets with no armor or with organic armor. However, they break if they land a critical hit (after dealing damage). Blunt Glass weapons are treated as Stone weapons, but on a critical hit they shatter, tripling the damage of the attack that broke them - assuming the target is organic and has no armor or organic armor.
Note: Quantifying 'Organic'. Organic in this sense essentially refers to the target being made of flesh or their armor being made of something's flesh. Sam Podden is made of meat; he is an organic target. Sam Podden in leather pants is an organic target in organic armor. Both of these examples take double damage. Turtleboy has a natural shell. Jax Lancer has naturally defensive skin. These are both organic targets with organic armor. Powerfield is a human with metal armor. Caliborn Uskglass is a human with a Kevlar vest. Gravestone is undead flesh that generates stone armor. All of these are organic targets, but their armor is inorganic and they take regular damage. Zero is a robot. He is made of metal, this inorganic, and takes regular damage. Zero in leather pants is wearing organic armor, but still is inorganic underneath and takes normal damage.
**Forge Trash- Bits of plastic, cloth, or just unfocused debris of all types makes for a weapon with no combat bonus. However, this weapon is free to make; once the action is spent to summon the debris, no additional action is needed to forge it into a weapon.
***Double Forge- If Jacob has spent two actions to summon two handfuls of debris, he can spend a single action to forge them both into weapons. They do not need to be the same weapon. Alternatively, he can make a double-weapon. He can make two Trash weapons from a single summon of debris.
Note: Weapons that give some manner of statistical bonus do not 'stack' when he uses two of them. Also, they only apply to the weapon being used. If he has two Wood swords, he still only gets +1 to attack and defense. If he has a Wood sword and a Metal sword, the +1 to attack only applies to attacks made with the Wood sword.
****Macuahuitl- Advanced forging - by drawing in two counts of debris, and spending two actions, Jacob can make a long club of one material set with sharp teeth of another material. This gives him the benefits of BOTH materials in a single weapon. Due to the unwieldiness of the weapon, he can only attack with it twice per round. He needs four counts of debris and two actions to double-forge these.
Note: Materials whose 'bonus' involve them not needing an action spent reduce the cost of making the Macuahuitl by one action, but replace it with whatever their alternative cost is.
Note 2: The Macuahuitl must be made of two different materials.
Note 3: Of the Macuahuitl's glass teeth are broken, treat it as a normal weapon made of whatever the body is made of, retaining the 2-attack limit. Jacob can spend an action to summon more debris and another action to replace the teeth.


Zombie Powers:
Undead- The dead body is not affected by diseases or most poisons, it is not affected by effects that stun or make one bleed.
*Only Good Mutant- Sentinels that scan the undead mutant will detect it as an already dead mutant, even if it is using its power, and largely ignore it. The zombie must be significantly aggressive to the Sentinel or another party to get the Sentinel to attack it.
*Undeath- The zombie is dead and has trouble dying further. Unless the body is completely annihilated, they will come back eventually. However, any serious removal of body parts may have to be manually replaced.
Enhanced Strength- +2CS to Strength, reflected in stats.
Darkvision- The undead can see without light.
Feral Senses- The undead have hearing and smell like animals, and only get -1CS when blinded.
*Tracking- Roll Intuition to track by scent.
Ghoul's Grin- As a free action, the zombie can transform their mouth - cheeks pulling back ear-to-ear, every tooth transforming into a large, sharp, flesh-ripping grey fang. Biting is clumsy, and it is -1 to attack and an additional -1 for every consecutive bite (in addition to the multiple action penalty), but it does double Strength in damage and has Fantastic(30) Armor Piercing. The zombie can change their mouth back to normal as a free action.
Claws- As a free action, the zombie can transform their nails into horrible sharp claws. These do Strength in damage with Good(10) Armor Piercing.
*Skullbite- A special move, the zombie can announce this and roll Claw, Claw, Bite - the bite not suffering the normal penalty. If all three attacks hit with a Yellow or better, the Zombie deals their Bite damage directly to the victim's head like a called shot. If all three attacks do NOT score a yellow or better, each successful attack does Strength in damage with no Armor Piercing. This does not work on PCs or major NPCs.
Regeneration- If the zombie is well fed, it has Good(10) Regeneration (10 HP per round).


Death Throes: The ritual that revives the dead grants them a power based upon the wound that slew them.
Having been smashed, Jacob has free access to a very special sort of debris - his own shattered bones.
Forge Bone- Bone weapons push through his flesh and are part of his body as opposed to being handheld; jagged white blades push from his palms or splintered spears push from the back of his arms. However, since he has the bones inside him, he does not need to spend an action to gather them. They also require no additional Action to make, and instead cost him 20 HP. He can make a second weapon for just an additional 10 HP if he makes it at the same time as the first. Bone weapons give +1CS to Attack. Bone weapons are retracted as a free action.
*Bone Macuahuitl- Jacob can make Macuahuitls from his bones under normal rules, though the bone is always the base and the other material is the teeth. However, Bone Macuahuitls do not have the two-attack limit.
**The Bone Saw- Spend 30 HP and two actions to create a single, massive weapon of bone blended with one material and studded with a third. This gives him the benefits of all three materials as well as an additional +10 Damage. However, due to its size, it takes all his strength and he cannot use a second weapon. It is limited to two attacks per round.
**Reinforce Skeleton- If Jacob has blended other materials into his bone blades, when he retracts them, one of the materials can remain and blend into his skeleton. This gives him a bonus. If he has a material blended into his skeleton, and he makes a Bone Weapon, it comes out as a Bone Macuahuitl for no extra cost. The material must be either inside or outside his body; he cannot benefit from a Reinforced Skeleton while using a Bone Blade.
***Stone Bones- Heavier bones give him -1CS to Attack and Defense, but +10 Damage to unarmed strikes.
***Metal Bones- Stronger bones give him +1CS to Strength.
***Wooden Bones- Lighter bones give him +2CS to Agility.
***Glass Bones- Shards slicing up his system give him +2CS to his Regeneration.
***Trash Bones- Technically possible, but no immediate benefit.
****Skeletal Shrapnel- When Jacob's skeleton is reinforced, he may violently eject the foreign material from his body. As a free action, he spends 20 HP and rolls a single agility attack that must be dodged by everyone within 10 feet. This deals Fantastic(30) damage with the same bonus he'd get if he had a weapon of the material in question.

Switchblade- Attacking unarmed, Switchblade can land a blow on a target with a fist or palm. If he does so, he may spend 10 HP do increase his base damage by +10; his Bone blade pops in and out in an instant, stabbing the target deeply while making it look like he only punched them.



Talents:

Double Play- Jacob, armed or unarmed, has Fantastic(30) Dual Wielding. He can make a second set of attacks with his off-hand weapon starting with Fantastic(30) Fighting.

Home Run- If Jacob hits someone with a bat and scores two colors better than their dodge (green vs blue, yellow vs white, red vs green) he may roll Strength as a free action; on a Yellow the target launched his Strength in feet. The target lands prone.

Steal- When Jacob deals the blow that takes someone out of the fight, he can take their spot in the Initiative.




Equipment: As Powers above, you don't need to write anything here but hey feel free. 'Equipment' is stuff you carry, from a weapon to a high tech gadget. If you have a gun, post it here.

Phylactery- Each zombie carries a phylactery for Alice, their leader. Jacob's is a rosin bag. This bag was used by Chris Carpenter in the 2006 game against the Phillies that kicked off their World Series winning season. Jacob's father took him to the game and he got to meet Carpenter, who had already given away the game ball but gave Jacob his rosin bag.



Weaknesses:

The Hunger- The zombies eat human flesh. They can eat other things, but the human flesh is generally mandatory every couple days. It is best to feed every few days. The results of denying oneself are predictable.
-Day One, A healthy glow- Throughout the first day the zombie has gone without feeding, they can still pass for a weird human and they maintain their Regeneration.
-Day Two, the Grave starts to show- On the second day, the eyes and cheeks start to sink in, the face begins to gray - a good look at the face or body will warn that this is not a human. Regeneration is halved.
-Day Three, the Hunger's in your head- On the third day, the corpse appearance is enhanced, and madness is in the eyes. There is no regeneration. The body calls for sustenance, and the Hunger's demands give -1CS to all rolls that do not directly relate to chowing down on a person, and +2cs to all that do!
-Day Four, everyone you love is dead- On the fourth day, the Hunger does not want to wait. -2CS to anything not directly related to feeding. Whenever any living human is seen, roll Psyche. On a Yellow, the Zombie can resist the hunger, for the moment, and get away. On a Red, the zombie can stick around for a few minutes without harming anyone. On a Green, the Hunger is as strong as the zombie and the zombie may only hold perfectly still and say one word. On a White or worse, the zombie must attack and attempt to feed on someone in the vicinity they see. The Psyche roll does not get the -2 penalty,. however the roll is at -1 each time they encounter the same person before they manage to feed.
Every day beyond this, the Psyche roll to not attack gets an additional -1CS, and the Zombie loses a ran of Endurance.
Should they manage to lose all their Endurance, they will die again.
Should they run out of Psyche before Endurance, the Hunger takes over and they go looking for someone to eat. The Hunger takes them to where it knows there will be people, and that usually leads back home...
*The Hunger Mantra- The Zombie can push themselves back to the effects of the previous day by taking -2CS to all actions and repeating the Hunger Mantra whenever their condition is aggravated.

Unholy- Despite the zombie's actual alignment, their magic comes from a dark place. They are considered to be a dark/unholy/negative creature.

Unsung Hero- Jacob never did anything wrong in his life, yet he has been punished again and again. He lost his dream of being a major league player when he became a mutant. He was killed for saving a girl from being violated. His whole life has been spotted wit incidents where bad things happened to him or other good people for no reason, and this infuriates him. If he sees some helpless person being assaulted, or learns of some horribly injust incident in progress, or gets a negative response for something he thought was heroic, or other such frustrating incidents, he is prone to become enraged.

No Sharing- The weapons forged by Jacob's powers fall apart when he drops them or otherwise lets go of them. This makes him hard to track, but also means his weapons cannot be shared or thrown. The Bone weapons are attached and thusly also not suitable for throwing or sharing.


Contacts: Jacob knows a scout for the Cardinals that does not know he is dead.

Knowledges: Jacob knows all about baseball. He is also well-versed in comic books.

Skills: Jacob is alright at playing games with miniatures. While he is not a great artist, he is good at painting little details on things.
