Gender: Male
Power: Mirrorshade
Power Description: A Mirrorshade has the ability to look at a weapon and instantly determine almost everything there is to know about it, or essentially a combination of a Fixer and a Cog. This ability, however, comes with a price. Mirrorshades not only see things that are commonly thought of as weapons, but also everything that could conceivably be a weapon, or might have been a weapon in a previous incarnation. This constant bombardment of information renders most of the people with this particular ability into a gibbering, overloaded mess, often babbling about how X object could be slotted into object Y and be used to launch something, burn something, or explode. To counteract some of this overload, Mirrorshades often wear sunglasses, occasionally mirrored ones, as a sort of filter between their eyes and the rest of the world. This barrier lets a lucky few live their lives with relative stability, but most Mirrorshades claw their eyes out before they stumble on this fact. Mirrorshades burn power at a low but steady rate throughout the day, but when confronted with a weapon or other problem that requires more knowledge than could be usually gleaned from just glancing at the object, they'll burn through whatever reserves they have until the problem is diagnosed and resolved. As such, most Mirrorshades are more efficient when given a task earlier in the day than later.
Personality: Jake usually stares quietly into space, but has been known to rattle off absurd statistics or other facts about various objects around him or others. Though he doesn't really show it in his conversation style, Jake has an innate curiosity towards others, and will gravitate towards people that he finds interesting. Jake is rather quick to offer assistance in regards to weapons, though he'll rarely explain what it is he's doing once he has something in his hands. He will not, however, offer to share cigarettes with anyone else. He'll grudgingly give one up if asked, but he prefers to keep them to himself.
History: Jake grew up in the southern part of Florida, around the Miami area. His father was a lounge singer and his mother worked as a gunsmith, letting her son tinker with whatever scraps she had lying around her shop to keep him quiet. Once Jake began rattling off various facts about the parts he was allowed to play with and accurately describing what each component did without stopping, his mother rushed him off to a doctor's office, where he was diagnosed with his condition and given his first pair of sunglasses, a cheap plastic pair that broke within a week. Since then, Jake has gone through around fifteen pairs of sunglasses, or roughly one pair per year. Not much else is commonly known about his history, since Jake usually only tells the story up to that point and stops.
Weapons: Jake carries a Browning 1910 in a shoulder holster under his left arm, with two spare clips in his pockets. He keeps a small butterfly knife in his right boot, but only really ever uses it as a screwdriver when he has no other options.
Extra items: Jake also carries around a book of matches and a pack of cigarettes. The matches he keeps in his pockets, and the cigarettes are pinned against his bicep by his shirt.
