While more than willing to be social, his powers make it extremely difficult. Not just because they tend to scare people, but because they DO in fact scare most. This had lead to social isolation for some time before he came to Xavier's school, and despite efforts, it hasn't gotten much better with time. Despite these obstacles, Jesse actually has a manner of charm to him when it's allowed to show. Recently, Doctor McCoy discovered a field modulator that allows him some control over the intensity of his bleed off, but he's not counting on it to actually help.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Reading, Writing, Music of all kinds and their accompanying instruments.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Jesse's start in life wasn't the best. Coming from a middle class family, his mother was a homemaker and his father a police officer in Brooklyn. While externally this seemed ideal, it wasn't due to the fact that his father was extremely abusive at times. A drunk with PTSD, he often lost it and this would devolve to domestic abuse. It caused a lot of problems between he and the old man because he was always a Mama's boy. As he grew older he began to become defiant of the veteran officer, which often found all that anger and abuse turned toward him.<br/><br/>Things began to become even more problematic when puberty came for Jesse, and his powers began to manifest, At first he had no useful applications for them and simply thought he was going insane. The bleed off caused his father's condition to worsen, along with his mother gaining more problems than being the victim of his drunken assaults. It did have the effect of giving her the push she needed to get away from the bastard, and she divorced him. Moving in with her brother and sister in law, it seemed things would take a turn for the better. Only they didn't.<br/><br/>You see Audrie's brother was a mutant, like Jesse and seen what the kid was growing into. The problem was that he played for the bad team, as Jesse would put it now. He began to nurture the child's unstable nature while teaching him to use his powers. He convinced him he wasn't going insane, he was in fact special. And that bleed off was punishment for those weaker than himself. Jesse began having even more trouble in school after this, and his uncle convinced his mother to homeschool the kid so he could use him for acts of crime with greater ease. Eventually this came to a close when his uncle was caught, but luckily his care for family caused him to ensure Jesse didn't go down with him.<br/><br/>They couldn't hold Alistair, so he escaped, but by the point Jesse's mother's condition deteriorated. What started as simple nightmares had turned to a serious mental condition, and she began to have delusions and attempted suicide. His aunt took guardianship over the boy then and seeing what his rampant powers had done to his mother caused him to resent his uncle. Inevitably causing the teen to deny the man he once idolized when he tried to take him on the run alongside him. He isolated at that point, and was simply thankful that so long with his uncle had ensured Aunt Julia was resistant to the effects of his powers.<br/><br/>Jesse was fifteen when his aunt met with a representative at Xavier's school and she decided to enroll him in the classes there in hopes he could turn out to have something akin to a normal life. The boy's been at the school since then, though he takes frequent trips home. He tries his best to make his aunt proud and was given high hopes when he found out his powers had the possibility of reversing mental disorders. He trains in hopes of to become  a psychologist and help his mother with her condition, even though he's fairly certain his powers would be unable to remove the damage caused his bleed off. Hope is needed though, so he clings to it.<br/><br/>During the attack, Jesse stepped up to help. He faced off against Emma frost to great effect, at first, until the woman took her diamond form and effectively removed him from the fight with a beatdown. Even with his kinetic durability, Jesse suffered some internal injuries that have only recently healed.<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong>Gamma Level<br/><br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong>Mutant parentage<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><br/><em>Dementation</em>- Jesse's key defining power thus far is his ability to manipulate the minds of those around him. His thoughts can manifest a kinetic pulse that effects the brain, creating waking nightmares in others, to point of being crippling if he focuses hard enough. He can also instill temporary insanity of various kinds in an opponent, giving him an advantage in combat or even causing them delusions so that they forget, or rather, cannot focus on what is happening at the current moment. It's been noted that it's possible for the same power to have the reverse effects, but he's only managed this on a couple occasions as it requires a concentration he doesn't possess yet. The power causes an unsettling bleed off though, which will unnerve those without a natural or trained mental resistance. Exposure for long periods usually just causes bad nightmares in those around him, though prolonged exposure can result in permanent mental derangement. It also causes the color of his eyes to change with his mood, shifting to yellow when annoyed or black when angry or 'in an episode'.<br/><br/><em>Kinetic Force</em>- Discovered and trained first by his Uncle, Jesse has a small kinetic field around him that is caused by his power bleed off. In the beginning it provided no useful advantage, but once harnessed he was able to use it to great effect. While not actually physically stronger than a fit person of his build and size this power allows him the visage of super strength. With concentration he can use it to lift in excess of 1,000 pounds and hit with the same force. The problem is harnessing it caused his bleed off to become stronger, which resulted in his mother's condition. Since at the school, he's been learning to direct the power outward in a sort of copycat of telekinesis, but it's a work in progress.<br/><br/><em>Kinetic Shielding</em>- Stemming from the same source as his kinetic force, the minor field allows him some measure of superhuman durability. While not at the levels of other mutants, he can withstand extremely powerful attacks with little more than scratches. This provides protection mainly against physical attacks, but extends to blasts and the like at a lower level. While allowing his body protection, without concentration on his force applications, a blow will still send him flying backwards as he lacks the strength to keep himself grounded.<br/><br/><em>Mental Backlash</em>- Having his powers resonating in his mind creates a sort of shield from psychic attacks or intrusions in the form of a nightmarish backlash. He has no control over this, and is unable to lower it as it's a natural effect of entering his psyche. Power telepaths can withstand and pierce it through it though.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/><em>Artist:</em>Jesse is skilled in many of the arts. He's a talented musician, focusing on vocals and guitar, is a good writer of poetry, as well as decent with a brush.<br/><em>Bare Knuckle Brawling:</em>His father ensured he wasn't defenseless at school, and this was further enhanced by his uncle. Today Jesse is a more than accomplished street fighter.<br/><em>Athletics:</em>Jesse played sports back at his old school even if he was hated. He's got good endurance, and was good at basketball.<br/><em>Acrobatics:</em>His uncle was a criminal, and as such he taught his nephew to be agile. He's not great at this, but he is skilled.<br/><em>Criminal Arts:</em>Basic on this. He's skilled at lockpicking, grifting and other tricks of the trade, but not so much he's able to make a good living without a good partner.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">School Information</span></span><br/><strong>Classes Taken:</strong><br/>Sorcery and Magic<br/>Power Control<br/>Telepathy: Intermediate<br/>Telekinesis: Beginner<br/>History: Mutant and Human<br/>Mental Resilience<br/>Languages<br/>Self Defense<br/><br/><strong>Clubs/Extracurriculars:</strong>Archery, Drama, TTBD<br/><br/>Counseled by Jean Grey: With his predisposition toward mental illness, and the possible ramifications of his powers it was determined he needed to be monitored. When first put with Jean, he was very closed off and resentful of the arrangement. He has since come to see her as a source of moral support and guidance, along with help on his confidence issues. He'll never admit these things, but they are clear in their recent interactions. She's among the few that understand his true thoughts at this point and he has taking to affectionately referring to her as 'Counselor', even if it started as a derogatory comment.<br/><br/><br/>Doctor McCoy: The good doctor discovered a way to counteract the resonance bleed off from his dementation, using a counter. It weakens his overall powers a little, but effectively eliminates any risk of serious complications in those around him. So long as he has the pager sized device on his belt.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Student Relations:</strong><br/><br/>Rogue: Jesse considers her a friend, even if one he limits hanging with due to worries about his power bleed off. He also has concerns, though secret ones, of what would ever happen if she accidentally touches him. Not to himself, but what it'd do to her mind.<br/><br/>Vyrus: Jesse harbors ill will toward Vyrus due to the man's obsession with trying to get him out of his shell at first. The first day he had his nose in a book, and the idiot came over and drew attention to him that didn't end well for either side. Needless to say, the dumbass thinks they are friends and he doesn't feel anything close to the same way.<br/><br/>Magic: TBD<br/>
