Description

Description:

This young man is in his late teens. He stands at 5'9" with an athletic build, zero body fat on his muscular frame. He has red hair, which match the color of the wings that grow from his back should they be visible. His eyes are hazel, sometimes looking green and others blue. He tends to dress casually, often in baggy clothing so he can hide his large wings beneath the clothes. When he isn't trying to hide his wings, he is often in jeans and a tank top.

History

Click to expand.

History:

Joshua "Jay" Guthrie was born in Cumberland, Kentucky, the third child in the large family. It was coal mining town and that is the career most of the residents followed, including his father. When his father died in an accident, his brother took over as the bread-winner for the family. His brother eventually left to go to school out of state and that left Jay to look after the family. While he worked in the mines, his first love was music and he supplemented his income with gigs in the local area.

His mutancy appeared in the form of wings growing out of his back. He hid them from his family, learning to conceal them quite well beneath baggy clothing. He also gained powers related to his voice, which he also hid. When he was performing on stage, he would use the wings and his voice as a gimmick, for the show, people thinking they were faked through some other means or costuming.

He fell in love with a young woman named Julia Cabot. Unfortunately, the Guthries and Cabots were enemies, having been feuding for years. The pair spent a summer together but were eventually found out by Julia's father. He donned some power armor that he had found and killed Jay. In her grief, Julia dragged Jay's body with her into the river and drowned herself.

That's when Jay's other power was revealed. His healing brought him back to life and he found himself at the bottom of a river with his love. He took her to shore but she was gone. He tried to take his own life only to learn he would heal. No matter how many times he tried.

His depression was extreme and he attempted suicide multiple times while still supporting his family as best he could. His mother couldn't take it anymore though and has decided to send him to the school that helped his brother Samuel. Against his will, Jay is being shipped off to study at Xavier's School.

Personality

Click to expand.

Personality:

Jay has always been fun loving and happy, for the most part. He is very family oriented and will do anything for them. His friends get the same treatment. He is giving and thoughtful, willing to give his shirt off his back to someone in need. There is a romantic side to him, expressed often through music or poetry. Unfortunately, he has lost the girl he loved and this has led to a spiraling depression he can't seem to get out of, leaving him often quiet and withdrawn instead of the gregarious man he once was. Sometimes there are glimpses of the old Jay and hopefully he will begin healing, with help.

Abilities

Click to expand.

Flight:
Jay has a pair of wings that have grown out of his back. They are 20 feet when spread to their full width. His altitude is limited only by the oxygen content in the air, so he can reach around 10K feet comfortably. With an extreme strain on his system, he could reach 29K but only for a few minutes. His top speed is around 186 mph. He can fly up to 12 hours before needing to rest.

Healing:
Jay is able to heal due a healing factor. He can heal a hundred times faster than a normal person. Minor cuts are gone instantly. Broken bones in a few minutes. Even major wounds that are considered lethal, he can recover from in a couple of hours. He is resistant to all diseases and toxins since his body heals anything they would do to him. He can grow back a limb if it is severed, except for his wings themselves (See Weakness Wings).

Physiology:
Jay's physiology is altered to compensate for his wings and flight. He is more like a bird in some ways, such as his bones being hollow to help reduce weight. His body mass is zero body fat and a greater amount of muscle. He has enhanced eyesight, hearing, durability, flexibility, balance, coordination and strength due to the greater muscle mass. He would be considered peak human physically, able to lift up to 500 lbs. He is resistant to damage, body designed to be resistant to wind resistance when flying at high speeds. He is able to hear outside human ranges, including high and low frequencies.

Voice:

Voice: Jay's voice is enhanced as well, allowing for sonic manipulations of various types. He can use hs voice to create an exact copy of any sound he has ever heard or can imagine. He can sound like multiple voices, becoming a full chorus all by himself if he wishes. He can match the voices of other people precisely, to the point he can fool voice recognition software. His voice can be modified to high and low frequencies humans normally cannot hear, though he can due to his modified physiology. Through the use of these sonic alternations, he has been able to hypnotize people in the past although he can only effect one or two at a time. This hypnosis is not mind control and he cannot make anyone do anything against their nature, instead it being more suggestion. . (OOC Note: Consent based on hypnosis.)

Skills

Click to expand.

Mining:
Jay was born and raised in a coal mining town in Kentucky. His father was a miner and, once he passed, Samuel took the spot. When Sam went off to school, that left Jay as the "man" of the family and he too went to the mines. As such, he knows how to coal mine, proper techniques and so forth. Not tha the likes it. Or ever wants to do it again.

Music:
Jay is a skilled musician. He has trained with several instruments including piano and guitar. He can also play the violin/fiddle. Most stringed instruments he would likely be able to play passingly well, even if he just picked them up. He has an excellent singing voice, even without using his powers. He was the lead singer and guitarist in his own band back home. He can read music and also writes his own.

In addition to being a musician, Jay is a fan of music of all types. He has a vast array of knowledge in this area, including music from long before he was even born. His tastes are very eclectic including rock, country, classical, R&B and pretty much everything out there.

Survival:
Living in the wilds of Kentucky, the family would supplement their food supply by hunting. Jay is skilled in this area, able to track down prey, kill it, prepare it for cooking and even doing the cooking itself, be it in the kitchen or on an open fire. He has a lot of survival skills that are based on camping and hiking, able to be left in the woods with minimal resources and survive.

Various:

Jay was one of the three eldest out of a huge family, living in an extremely rural setting. He had to help his mother in any ways necessary. As such, he has experience with babysitting his siblings, cooking, sewing, animal husbandry, fixing electrical issues in the house, repairing washing machines and a wide range of 'handy man' skills that have served him through his life.

Resources

Click to expand.

Family:
Jay is part of a large family and they support him in all things. Although they don't have much to give other than their love, he could call on them in a time of need. Sam Guthrie, aka Cannonball, is his brother and can also be accessed for help should the need arise. Jay would do the same for him or any of his family. His band back home he considers family as well, although he had to leave them behind to come to the new school.

Material Goods:
Jay doesn't have a lot. He has some money in his pockets from his work as a musician back home. He prefers to work gigs to take care of his own money, knowing the family needs it more, so he tries to avoid accepting what the family has to give. He has some clothes, his phone and MP3 player, as well as three guitars (one electric, two acoustic).

Xavier's School:

Jay is a new student at Xavier's School. He has access to the school facilities and is getting his education there.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Depression:
Jay suffers from depression, to the point of self-harm. He has attempted suicide multiple times. Due to his healing factor, he recovers from everything he does. Having one of her children trying to take his own life has proven too much for his mother. It is for this reason his mother sent him to Xavier's, as she wasn't sure how to deal with it anymore. While he isn't suicidal at every moment, he is clinically depressed though he can hide it well when he wants to.

Love Lost:
People talk about the story of Romeo and Juliet as though it is something to want out of their own lives. Jay has lived that story. He loved deeply and completely but the girl was from the wrong family and everything went horribly wrong. In the end, he lost her yet he remains here due to his healing factor. Having already been with his one true love, he has a long, lonely life ahead of him from his point of view.

Power Limitations:

Jay's wings are the source of his flight and healing. Were his wings to be removed, his regeneration would be stopped. He cannot grow back his wings. Additionally, his voice is only useful if it can be heard. If he is in a location where sound is blocked, he would not be able to use that power.
