Quantum
Robin Hood? Hah. They wish.

The Biography

Birth Name: Jakoby Reynolds
Aliases:
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Birth Date: 9/17/1988
Class: Experiment

Appearance: Jakoby stands 6’1 and 165# well toned pounds of muscle. He keeps his dark brown hair short and has green eyes. When in public he tends to dress in high end clothes and fashion, playing the role of playboy. His ‘action’ suit is an indeterminate dusky color that blends into the shadows.

Personality: Jakoby is rarely serious. He's always been a bit of a good natured troublemaker, joker and smartass and that extends to his more super heroic (or rather super villainous depending on how you look at it) life. He has a carefree outlook and a little bit of a Robin Hood Playboy Petty Thief thing going on. What's his is his, and what's yours is his too - though he'll never be caught stealing from those who truly need it. What he enjoys most, however, is the chase and being chased.

The Background

History:
Jakoby was born into a rather poor family in a rundown area of London. His family was homeless on and off and at times lived in shelters, with friends, or the street. Early on Jakoby (Jake) learned to be enterprising with what little he head. His mother disappeared when he was 8, supposedly running off with some man. At 12 his father basically did the same thing, leaving Jakoby on his own at 12.

Being the enterprising young man he was, he started earning money any way he could. Salvaging and selling things he’d found, even putting things together, rebuilding things and inventing small devices to sell to passerby’s and at flea markets. He always had a way with technology, something that would end up being rather important to his story. Not too long after he had run away, he had been doing some exploring in some of the dirtier parts of town. There were a lot of abandoned industrial areas. On the outskirts quite a few homeless lived their lives, but if you went further they kind of stopped - it wasn't very smart to be too far from other people and areas to panhandle.

Jake had been exploring, going far past the areas where the bums hung out, and he spotted one warehouse that looked like it should have been abandoned yet had a few lights on inside. Jake approached it cautiously and peered inside. The place looked empty of movement though there was a lot of equipment inside, some industrial and some... looked like nothing Jake had ever seen. It was like something out of a science fiction movie, all sorts of diodes and arcing electricity and faint humming sounds. He made his way around the building until he found an upper window that had been cracked open and he helped himself inside. He decided to be quick in case whoever was running this place came back and he dashed between the machines, looking for anything that would show what these things were or what the purpose was. As fate would have it, he accidentally stepped between two innocent looking machines and ended up stepping on an activation plate which caused the machines to start and they filled his body with some strange sort of radiation.

Hew knew he had done something wrong as soon as they activated, but he wasn't able to move out of the strange light the machines emitted. After a few long moments it stopped and he collapsed to the ground. Almost immediately several robotic arms came out of a nearby machine. Damaged subjected detected, attempting repair, it said - or seemed to, the voice came from everywhere. The hauled him onto a nearby table and a needle punctured his arm. Repair initiated, please remain still. Nanite repair will be complete in 5 minutes. Nanite removal will commence after completion. About this point Jakoby was freaking out and he struggled against the arms that still held him down. He really, really wanted to be back home - and a moment later he was, taking the nanites in his blood with him. It didn't take long for him to figure out what had happened, and not much longer to figure out the basics of how to control his newfound powers. Still, he was scared of what he would be branded were he found out, so he kept them secret and rarely used them.

At 15 he was set upon by some older boys who tried to beat him up and take everything he had. They were larger and more experienced in fighting, but Jake put up a helluva fight. He found up with a broken rib and a couple black eyes, but his attackers were always bleeding, every one of them. A man took notice of this, a man who had already noticed Jake before. Approaching the beaten boy after the others left he offered him a place to stay and heal.

The man wanted more than that, though – he had noticed other things about Jakoby over the last several months. When Jakoby’s powers had manifested years early he kept it quiet, refusing to even use them more than a couple times. But this man had seen it. He’d also seen the sort of things Jakoby could put together, as well as his determination and cool head. But the man didn’t just want to help him, he wanted to use him – and to train him. The man was a small time villain known as the Black Bolt, and he would be the one to teach Jakoby how to steal, fight, and use his powers.

That is exactly what the man did, making use of Jakoby’s powers to become rather absurdly rich. Before long they had both made names for themselves in New York under the guise of being foreign heirs to vast fortunes and often traveled back and forth between London and NYC.

These days Jakoby entertains himself by obtaining things money can’t buy. New tech, artwork, you name it. He still maintains a bit of a soft spot for people who are in the same position he grew up in and so he also has several large charities that he often funds with stolen funds from the rich.

Sorry for the delay. I've got two questions to start out with.

Flaw
"Pain" is caused by prolonged use of his powers. The flaw requires "negative effects to the body," which pain can be but how will they impact the character in more specific game terms?

Sub Power
Your sub power should be related to your main power. I'm not sure how technopathy is related to teleportation.

Updated flaw to be more specific, based it off several other approved flaws (see https://marvelunlimited.forumotion.com/t1701-flaw-and-subpower )

Updated history and power source/manifestation to show how they interrelate as byproducts of technological accident.

I've spoken with Samael's player and he is addressing concerns of related powers.
