<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/LV3h9sN.jpg)</div><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">Marvel</span></div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Jean (https://clyp.it/2ujtrv13?token=abcf0158867389865b0583f3ab0b0b2a) Gris<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Male<br/><strong>Age:</strong>23<br/><strong>Ethnicity:</strong>Mixed - mainly French and Italian<br/><strong>Physical Appearance:</strong>Upscale rocker chic, hair styled meticulously messy, some tastefully defined muscles, and dangerously fun vehicles sum up a lot of it. Jean stands a bit over 6' tall and has medium length reddish hair that looks a bit fiery in sunlight. He's far from a bodybuilder, but he keeps himself well in shape and chooses his clothes to carefully show that off. He also speaks with a faint French accent, though he's spent most of his life in the United States.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Jean is outgoing and charismatic. He loves to party and have a good time, and occasionally gets into trouble and things that he shouldn't. He's generally quite positive, though he does have a little bit of a temper at times. A bit of an ego is definitely in place, though he is not without a heart. He comes off like a playboy, but he's smart as a whip and not much escapes his attention.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/><em>Telepathy</em>- Jean is a powerful and accomplished telepath, wielding a rather large variety of talents. This includes defenses, manipulation, blasts, siphoning of psychi energy, and detection abilities. His powers were once wildly out of control, but after learning under Emma Frost they quickly came into sharp control.<br/><em>Telekinesis</em>- Jean has the ability to lift, propel, move and manipulate objects as well as himself. He can create forcefields, and even objects like weapons out of psychic energy. His excels a fine control, and can live over 50 tons but as he gets closer to his limit his control lessens, and he's accidentally destroyed large objects he was attempting to manipulate more than once. When he uses large amounts of his telekinetic prowess, a fiery aura of psionic energy sometimes seems to appear around him.<br/><em>Phoenix Force</em>- Somewhere buried deep inside Jean is the power of the Phoenix. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) this is completely unavailable to him and is locked away.<br/><br/><strong>Flaws/Weaknesses:</strong><br/><em>Human</em>- When it comes down to it, Jean has no special toughness, strength, or immunities. It may be nearly impossible to catch him unaware, but if you do he has no defenses without his powers and own skills.<br/><em>Temper</em>- Jean has a bit of a temper, which can sometimes cause him to make rash decisions if he isn't careful.<br/><em>Control</em>- Some part of Jean, deep within his psyche, sometimes makes it a bit more difficult for him to control his powers.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/>Originally born to lower middle class parents in Switzerland, Jean is of mixed French and Italian ancestry. They lived in Geneva for his early years, speaking primarily French though Jean picked up the other official languages of Switzerland as well. Eventually his father was offered a job to teach History at a small but prestigious college in New York and the family picked up and moved to Annandale-on-Hudson.<br/><br/>When he was 10, he was playing outside with his friend Andrew when Andrew was hit by car speeding through their neighborhood. Jean's powers awoke in that moment and he felt all of the emotion and physical pain his friend went through as Andrew died in front of Jean. This left Jean mentally scarred for obvious reasons, and he found himself unable to control his newfound powers. His parents took him to therapists but none of them seemed to be able to figure out why he heard voices, and none of the drugs stopped them. His parents were almost going to have him committed when a very powerful telepath found him. Emma Frost took Jean under her wing and taught him how to use and control his powers. She saw the amazing potential within him and helped to mold it over the following years, as well as making sure to suppress the roiling strength that lay deep within Jean's psyche.<br/><br/>His schooling took place at the Frost Academy, both regular school and power learning. By the time he turned 18 he had already started well into college level courses, but rather than go to a proper University, he was offered a job with an... associate of Frost's. Since that day his whole lifestyle changed, money rolling in alongside knowledge and power as he worked for the man known as Sebastian Shaw, acting as the man's personal telepath for business dealings and protection.
