Jaden Novak, son of the Lightning God

[Jaden Novak]

• Name: Novak, Jaden
• Age: 15
• Descent: Zeus, God of the Sky and Lightning

• Description:

Jaden is average height, a little underweight for his age. But this masks the fact that Jaden has an extremely strong, athletic body. He has electric-blue eyes that seem to be always analyzing their surroundings. He has black hair that is always in an 'emo' style. He usually wears a black shirt, and dark blue jeans. He wears blue and white tennis shoes, also.

• Personality: Jaden absolutely loves storms, especially lightning and tornadoes. This is ironic, because when people say "faster than a bolt of lightning", Jaden literally is. He has been able to control lightning, and even run as fast as a flash of lightning. He has also been able to withstand winds normal people wouldn't be able. He absolutely loves the sky, and his friends know that when he stares up at it, there's no point talking to him -- he's daydreaming. Being the son of an Assistant District Attorney, Jaden is naturally very smart, and has great analytical skills as well as 'people skills'. Jaden is also a bit hyper. He is always cheerful, and is usually optimistic. He never lets himself be beaten at anything easily. He has developed a sarcastic side, as well, and taunting his opponents is fun to him. However, he hates treachery and will lash out against a traitor. He hates to be underestimated, or overestimated, and he tries to know exactly how strong he really is. Jaden is a tough kid, mainly due to what has happened to him throughout his life. He has a soft side, but is, for the most part, really tough and arrogant. Jaden's closest friends all compare his personality to that of a dog. Ironically, Jaden is a dog-lover, and a firm believer in animal-rights. Jaden's usual weapon of choice is a bo staff, which he has masterful use over, but he is also fond of swords. He is more masterful with a bo staff, but quicker with a sword.

• Abilities:

Attacks

Electric Shot: Using his hands or an object (i.e: stick, sword, spear, key), Jaden shoots a thunderbolt at his opponent. Due to the speed of electricity, this is nearly unavoidable.

Thunder Boomerangs: Jaden throws 'boormerangs' made of electricity at his opponent. If they connect, the boomerangs expand and widen until they form a ring around the opponent. These rings close around the opponent, trapping them. Once these rings connect, there is no avoiding them. Thunder Boomerangs is a two-shot move; it can only be used two times per battle. If Jaden is tired even before he uses it, he can only use it once.

Static Bolt: Jaden manipulates lightning to strike his opponent from all sides. Due to the speed of lightning, this is nearly unavoidable.

Thunder Wolf Avalanche: Manipulating lightning, Jaden forms a pack of wolves out of the lightning around or created by him. These electric wolves run at the opponent, biting and scratching. If this hits, it paralyzes for a short time. Due to the speed of lightning, this is nearly unavoidable.

Weapons

- Sokyma (Greek for Shockwave): This sword is a result of multiple thunderbolts striking a regular blade. Now the blade has an aura of lightning around the tip, and whatever it strikes is electrocuted. When Jaden is not using the sword, it turns into gold pen. If Jaden loses it, it will always return to his pocket, regardless of where it is lost. Shockwave can also morph into two thinner blades at Jaden's will.

- Taoh (Greek for Voltage): Jaden's spear. This spear will always return to Jaden's hand. Voltage is able to paralyze anyone who it strikes. Its inactive form is a regular pin.

- Sharpsmack: Jaden's bô. It is made out of celestial bronze, and seems lighter than most weapons. It is designed to always return to Jaden's hand, no matter what.

• Camp Half-Blood: Jaden has a good life at camp. He is very popular among the campers, mainly due to his looks, intelligence and skill at combat. He has no favorite teacher as of yet, however. His favorite camp activity would be capture-the-flag, and as he is currently the only Zeus camper, he often makes alliances for that particular game. He likes to make his alliences with the Poseidon, Ares, Athena and Hephaestus cabins, each for a different reason. His actual favorite class would be the hand-to-hand combat class, in which particularly excels, along with swordfighting. Though he is good at both hand-to-hand combat and swordfighting, he perfers the Japanese art of Bôjutsu, or simply "staff technique", as he weilds mainly a bô.

•Character History: Jaden grew up in New York, NY, as the son of an Assistant District Attorney. This being said, he was picked on a lot, mainly by good friends or family members of the people his mother had convicted. The first inkling Jaden got that he was a demigod was when he was attacked by a hell-hound. He was eleven when that happened, and he would've died, had he not flown into a rage and punched the hell-hound, sending lightning coursing through its body and vaporizing it. Soon after, he started studying Greek mythology intensely after remembering that hell-hounds were Greek mythological creatures. Stunned, he'd realized that somehow, parts of Greek mythology might be true. After this, he always kept on his guard. But he was smart enough to conceal this fact, as well as the hell-hound attack. Jaden learned for types of fighting, as a result of the hell-hound attack: bushido, ninjutsu, Bôjutsu and kung fu. He has partially mastered all four fighting styles, which he has used to protect himself from more monster attack. When he was thirteen, it was too dangerous for him at home, so he went to Camp Half-Blood and has remained ever since, for two whole years.

• RP Sample: Jaden smirked and clutched his bo staff tighter, waiting for his opponent to make a move. His opponent, a son of Ares, charged at him. Just what Jaden had hoped for. He attempted, and managed, to trip the Ares kid. As the Ares kid tripped, Jaden quickly realized that the Ares kid's only skill was brute strength. If he could just use that skill against the kid, he could win... Then Jaden noticed a tree, and remembered that, after all, he was a good climber... And the lowest branch was just tall enough for Jaden to reach by jumping. And the Ares kid was shorter than Jaden, so there was a certain advantage in Jaden's favor. Jaden walked backward to the tree carefully as the Ares kid charged at him. Once Jaden was under the branch, he waited for the Ares kid to get closer, then jumped and grabbed the branch. He managed to swing on the branch, so the Ares kid wouldn't be able to hit him, and the Ares ran smack! into a huge rock under the branch. Jaden let go, and as he landed, he said, "Geez... Don't you know to never repeatedly charge someone faster and smarter than you?" "Whatever," groaned the Ares kid, straightening up. "That was a cheap shot!" The Ares kid aimed a punched at Jaden, which he blocked with his bo staff. He kicked the Ares kid in the shins, causing him to stumble a little, then he whacked the kid over the head with his bo staff. "Too easy." Just like that, Jaden had won, and he walked off.

[Agate / Echo]

Good profile, fairly extensive and all-inclusive, but I have to point out a few things. For one, in the rules, it states that children of the "Big Three" are not permitted. Despite this, the Admin and I would probably be willing to accept. For another, all of the attacks are "nearly unavoidable." This makes sense, but if you're going to make him so powerful, could you put a limit on it? Like, he can only use one of those major attacks once, perhaps twice, a battle. For a third, you say that he doesn't own a sword, then go on to explain in extensive detail the all-powerful, multifaceted sword that he can create upon his will.

And then, there's a little fact that my perfectionism insists on mentioning: you say he has mastered three forms of martial arts, then proceed to name four. And most of those arts, to be properly mastered, must be begun at a really young age, and you claim he started when he was eleven. That seems a little... unrealistic.

[Jaden Novak]

-So, I can still be a son of Zeus?

-Okay, I put a limit on his strongest attack, "Thunder Boomerangs".

-Fixed it, and put a limit on his mastery of the four martial art styles.

[Lucia White]

It's a really good profile and I will accept it. But, looking at all of your character's strong abilities and numerous weapons maybe he could come to obtain them during the role-play. Meaning he hasn't mastered some of the techniques as brilliant yet, but maybe later on when the plot begins?

Putting this aside, he's accepted :3. Just make sure to make a claim on the face used in your picture and begin rping whenever. there's a thread that's already begun and you can join it if you would like :3.~
