She takes her teaching quite seriously, but acts quite differently outside the classroom. As long as nobody gets on her bad side, she is quite pleasant to be around.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Chess, photography<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Jean lived a normal life until she was 10 years old. She and her friend, Annie, were playing together and Annie was suddenly hit by a car. Jean rushed over to her friend and held her in her arms. Annie's emotions as she passed away helped Jean unlock her own mutant abilities. Jean could feel her friend's emotions. For some time after that, Jean became extremely withdrawn and depressed. She isolated herself from everyone, to keep herself sane.<br/><br/>When she was 11, a psychiatrist recommended to her parents that she see Charles Xavier. He explained to Jean that she was a mutant, and the two kept it from her parents. He treated her for several years, and helped her hone her psychic abilities. Not long after Charles felt she had mastered her abilities, he suggested to her parents that she enroll in his school. Unbeknownst to them, it was a school for mutants to learn to control their abilities.<br/><br/>Jean quickly mastered more advanced uses of her powers. During her time as a student, a girl named Layla began attending the school. The other students kept away from her, they were scared of her. But Jean felt connected to her; perhaps due to the mental powers they shared. They often spoke to each other telepathically from their beds. Often long after curfew. After graduating, Jean took on a teaching role at the school. A position she enjoys very much.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong>Omega<br/><br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong>Dormant gene<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><span class="bbc_u">Empathy</span>- Jean has shown to have incredibly strong empathic powers that enable her to control, manipulate and alter the feelings, sensations, and emotions of others.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Telepathy</span>- Jean is able to read thoughts, project and broadcast her own thoughts, as well as affect the minds of humans and animals with higher order intelligence (such as dolphins, ravens or dogs).<br/><span class="bbc_u">Telepathic Cloak</span>- She can mask her presence and the use of her abilities from being detected by other psions and psychic entities. She can extend these defenses to others around her as well. Cloaking via telepathy is not perfect and powerful psis may notice and 'see' through this ability.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Cloak Mind</span>- Ability to rearrange the “mental engrams” of mutants so their distinctive mutant thought patterns cannot be detected by Cerebro-type devises or by other telepaths.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Psychic Shield</span>- Ability to erect a psychic shield for protection of herself and the minds of others.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Telepathic Illusions</span>- She can create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Telepathic Camouflage</span>- She can alter the apparent physical appearance of herself and other people by altering the perceptions of those around her. This can go so far as to make other people believe that the camouflaged people are not there (invisible).<br/><span class="bbc_u">Telepathic Manipulation</span>- She can manipulate other people's minds easily, achieving a variety of effects.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Memory Alteration</span>- She can erase, implant, restore or alter the memory of others.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Mind Control</span>- She can control the thoughts and actions of others.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Mind Possession</span>- She can possess the mind of another, and use that being's body as her own.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Personality Alteration</span>- She can alter the minds of others by force of will, thus permanently changing their personality partially or entirely.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Mental Paralysis</span>- She can induce temporary mental or physical paralysis.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Mental Amnesia</span>- She can erase any awareness of particular memories or cause total amnesia.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Mind Link</span>- Ability to develop a mental link with any person, which remains as a connection to that individual.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Psychic Blast</span>- She can project psychic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind, causing them pain, knocking them unconsciousness or turning the victim "brain-dead".<br/><span class="bbc_u">Astral Projection</span>- She can project her astral form from her body onto the Astral Plane or the physical plane. In the physical plane she can travel in astral form over vast distances. In the astral plane, she can mentally create psionic objects and manipulate the aspects of her environment. She can communicate with others astrally through her own will, or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Mental Detection</span>She can sense the presence of another superhuman mutant within a small but as yet undefined radius of herself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Telekinesis</span>- Projection of psychokinetic energy enables her to levitate objects, propel or manipulate them however she wishes, lift herself and move through the air to simulate flight, stimulate individual molecules to create heat, generate concussive force as blasts or bursts, and create protective shields.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Psychic Firebird</span>- She can manifest her telekinesis as a psychic firebird, whose claws could inflict both physical and mental damage.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Force Field</span>- She can create a telekinetic field to either shield her and her teammates or use it to lift multiple heavy objects at her enemy.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Matter Transmutation</span>- She can manipulate and transmute matter on a sub-atomic level (e.g., turning wood into gold, plant into crystal, and cause physical bodies to disintegrate by altering their molecular structure, etc).<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong>Jean has a keen eye for taking beautiful photographs.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">School Information</span></span><br/><strong>Classes Taught:</strong>Advanced Telepathy<br/><br/><strong>Clubs/Extracurriculars:</strong>Overseer of the chess and photography clubs<br/><br/><strong>Relations:</strong><br/>Layla - a close friend. Jean understands a little of Layla's burden. They formed a close relationship while they were students, and are still close now.<br/>Scott - Jean cares deeply for Scott. While the recent attack on the school has caused a bit of a strain on their relationship, due to their differing opinions about Xavier's beliefs, it's hasn't changed how she feels towards him<br/>Logan - Jean is aware of his feelings for her. Despite the fact that Logan knows she loves Scott, it doesn't stop him from trying to win her over.<br/>Jesse - while their initial relationship was rocky and tense, Jesse made great strides with his power control. Jean is proud of him and the progress he made and, while he started out resentful and giving her the derogatory nickname of "Counselor", they both have come to think of it more as a term of respect and affection.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><strong>Level of control:</strong> GM only</div>
