[Dracorion]

Name: Jackson Hall

Gender: Male

Aura: Pale blue

Appearance: At eighteen, Jack stands at 5’10’’, decently built, if perhaps a little slender. He has green eyes and messy black hair. He wears jeans, sneakers, a blue shirt and a brown leather duster.

Race: Wizard (Parahuman)

Abilities:

- Elemental Manipulation (Air): Just light manipulation of air. At most, Jack can create a stiff breeze that could maybe knock somebody down if they’re already wildly off-balance. Jack's range is about a spear-length in any direction. He can manipulate wind to blow away most ranged attacks.

Jack can also wrap air bubbles around his hands, provided he takes some time to focus on it. The bubbles burst on impact, adding some extra "oomph" to one hit. Because they take so much focus, Jackson can't manipulate air in any other way while the air bubbles last. If something distracts him (like being hit hard) the bubbles would burst automatically.

- Instant Movement: Flash Move.

- Enhanced Aura Reading: Lvl. 1, White Elemental.
When an opponent's aura flares, Jackson's able to read information about their powers by looking at their aura. If the flare is too brief, or the power set is too diverse, the information he can attain is more limited.


Background: Eighteen years ago, a baby was found in a basket outside an orphanage, with a silver locket and a note that said “Jackson Hall”. Since there was no one in the orphanage by that name, it was assumed that it was the baby’s name.

For all his life, Jack was bounced from foster home to foster home, never staying with one family for more than eight months. He was always, for the most part, allowed to pursue various things, though he never settled on any one interest. At fifteen, he was introduced to the family that would stick with him for the rest of his life (though he didn't know it at the time), Nathaniel and Kendra Carter. They were both members of a Paranormal organization, though they kept that and everything else related to magic hidden from their adoptive son.

During a schoolyard fight, Jack's magic manifested when he knocked a bully back with a gust of wind without actually touching him. Jack didn't notice, though, and his parents merely thought it was strange. His powers kept manifesting more and more until his parents finally saw them for themselves. They immediately told Jack about magic and began to train him in using his powers.

At sixteen, they allowed Jack to learn taekwondo, just in case he'd need it when they sent him to Amaranth High. As they continued training, Jack gained some control over his air magic, discovered his Aura Reading ability (which was a rather interesting find for Kendra and Nathan), and, shortly before turning eighteen, finally mastered Flash Move. When he turned eighteen, his parents decided that he was ready to go out into the world without getting in trouble, so they sent him to Amaranth to further his magical education.

Because of his upbringing, Jack has grown up rather distanced from others. He's not particularly good at talking to other people. It's not that he turns into a nervous wreck, he just doesn't know how. He doesn't particularly like to fight, though when he's forced to, he prefers to use evasion and then strike to disable or intimidate when he sees an opening rather than cause actual harm.

Clubs: The Social Club.

Notes: Jack is trained in taekwondo. He is by no means a master, or even good enough to teach others, but he is pretty advanced.

Since he was found outside the orphanage, Jack has had a silver locket. Inside is a picture of a smiling green-eyed, raven-haired woman he assumes to be his mother.

Relationships:

- Nathaniel Carter: Jack's latest and longest-lasting adoptive parent. Nathaniel is a human and a member of a Paranormal Organization. He can be somewhat stiff, but is still kind to his adoptive son. He and his wife trained Jack in being a Wizard before shipping him off to Amaranth.

- Kendra Carter: Nathan's wife Kendra is Parahuman and a member of the same Paranormal Organization as her husband. She's a kind woman who is more lax than her husband. She genuinely loves her husband and son.



You know, I'm actually worried I may have underpowered his wind powers a bit. I mean, unlike other elements you don't really need to spend a skill point just to be able to make some of it on the spot (like fire and water) and then another just to control it. So maybe it's fine as it is.
