↓ Full Name
Jacob Henry Worthing


↓ Age
Jacob is around 22 years old. His birthday is in May some time. He wouldn’t tell you exactly when as someone might hold a surprise party. And he never likes surprises. Ever.


↓ Gender
Male. Heterosexual


↓ Appearance
Jacob stands around 5”11’ and is almost awkward in terms of built. He is all skin and bone, limbs jutting at awkward angles and his muscles being wiry beneath his pale pasty skin. His blueish-tinged hair emphasises this paleness and sits roughly around his face. His dark orange-brown eyes are the most striking features about this young man and are usually very warm and inviting. However, he holds a more detatched air about him as his chronic shyness takes hold. However, when using Technokinesis or Computer Interaction, Jacob's irises turn a light, almost glowing, blue with white pupils.


↓ Biography
Jacob's childhood wasn't very spectacular. He lived with his over-bearing mother, butch-as-Bear-Grylls father and three loud and bossy older sisters. It's little wonder the poor guy is as shy as he is. When he went to school, Jacob wasn't unpopular or bullied but he was more of a loner. He prefered to stay inside during break times instead of going outside with others. That is where Jacob discovered the joy of technology. Jacob was surrounded by computers and eventually, he got curious. So, he switched one on and actually looked at the set up instead of just using it for class work. Jacob was intrigued by this and looked into computers. Before long, he was well and truly hooked. He still had friends but computers were becoming increasingly important to him as he moved forward in his life.

One day, a completely reasonably normal day, whilst walking down the road, Jacob just gained powers. Well, that's what it felt like anyway. They came out of nowhere, hitting him over the head with sheer randomness. There was no warning, no mystical light. The first sign he noticed was a sudden very loud influx of information that assaulted his mind. Messages, songs, films, videos, voices, lines upon lines of data filled his head. It proved a bit too much and Jacob collapsed in the middle of the street. It had turned out that there was repairs going on in that street and he had brushed a stray live wire. Instead of killing him, Jacob turned into a network hub of sorts. Lying in hospital, listening to the heart monitor playing Bohemian Rhapsody (which shouldn’t have been as funny as it was since the nurses were panicking and one of the doctors actually fainted), Jacob realised something else. He was trying to reign in the abilites but couldn't. He completely lacked the ability to control himself. There was no way in hell he could control this power.

And thus, Jacob hid his power away, scared that the superheroes would label him a threat if his abilities got too far out of control, as harmful has they were already. He had already met the brunt of information overdoses and casual electrocution and wasn't keen to share the experience with anyone. He became shyer, working from home repairing computers and other technological devices. His childhood stutter wormed its way back into his speech as the constant worry took it's toll. He learnt new things from his abilties however. He realised that ATM machines were the work of the devil and that clocks had the awkward habit of going backwards when he entered the room. Printers kept printing rainbow sheets and self-opening doors started to lock him and others out. Jacob learnt how to keep up a flimsy mental sheet to keep the overwhelming information away but always feared what other people would make him use his abilities for. Despite this, Jacob always dreamed of helping people. Isn’t that what everyone wanted to become some day, in a half forgotten dream of sorts? A hero? But who would accept him as a hero if he couldn’t control himself? Thus, Jacob kept his technomancy a secret from everyone. And so far it has worked.

Kinda.

↓ Strengths
Computer Interaction- Jacob is able to connect to computers and IT networks, allowing him to gather information. However, when Jacob connects to the internet fully, it is painful for him, as the bombardment of information is overwhelming.
Technokinesis- Jacob is able to mentally control the flow of technology by looking or touching it. This means that he can assemble or disassemble delicate machinery by will.
Cyberpathy- Jacob can percieve, understand, control and generate electronic, radio and digital transmissions. He is, in essence, a living wireless hub, which is useful if he wants to screw up someone's Facebook or e-mails, just for the kicks.
Electrokinesis- Jacob can, to a very small degree, generate and manipulate electricity. As useful as this sounds, it really isn't as so far all he has managed to do is mess up a few computers and completely ruin quite a lot of ATM machines. This usually results in the machine either alerting the police or spitting money at him, both of which result in Jacob having another trip to the police station.


↓ Weaknesses
~Jacob is cripplingly, incredibly, incurably shy.
~Any form of physical activity is out of the question.
~Water- he claims is feels like the liquid is “frying” him.
~Jacob is asthmatic and is prone to coughing fits.
~Although most of his abilities are linked to information, too much at once can swamp his brain. This can lead to migraines, dizzy spells and even unconciousness.
~Jacob is little to no control over his abilities. Thus, more often than not, his brain is filled with useless "spam" (as he calls it) which he can not get rid of (much to his chargin since the internet is full of weird and wonderful nonsense that he does not need floating around his head) and keeps breaking pieces of equipment via Technokinesis and Electrokinesis. Such as ATMs, self opening doors, computers, security systems and, on one memorable occasion, an entire Apple Store. Jacob feels it's a miracle the authorities still allow him out in public.
