Character's Real Name: Jean Elaine Grey
Character's Nickname/Mutant Name (optional): Phoenix
Character's Age: 35
Character's Gender: Female
Character's Occupation (student, professor, etc): Scientist, Doctor
Human or Mutant?: Mutant
Is your character a Changeling?: Yes
Affliation (X-men, Brotherhood, CIA, etc. or None): X-men
Powers/Abilities/Skills: Jean has very powerful telepathic ability though it started out basic and she had to work at it to get it to the point that it is at now. Like nearly all telepaths she has the ability to read and project her thoughts into people’s minds. She can also sense mental thought patterns that allow her to remain aware of her surroundings and those in it much easier then a normal person would. She can also establish mental links between herself and others, her most prominent and strongest is with Scott Summers.
Her powers can be used for telepathic defense. She can mentally mask her own presence, from being detected by other psychics, and go one step further; masking the presence of those she is with as well. This defense mechanism is not perfect and can be detected by other powerful mutants. A method that works better is the creation of a psionic shield. Jean can also mentally manipulate the mind patterns of other mutants, making them undetectable by other psychics and devices such as cerebro.
Abilities: Jean can also use her powers offensively, she has the ability to inflict mental pain and has leaned how to create psionic blasts and a psionic firebird. This blast mentally attacks an opponent and can have a temporary effect, or it can have permanent brain damage. The 'psionic firebird' is a manifestation of her telepathy, which becomes a physical and mental attack. Though very powerful these two attacks are extremely draining both physically and mentally and Jean requires time to recover when they are used.
Jean also possesses telekinetic power, the ability to lift herself and objects using her mind. This ability also allows her to manipulate molecules, which can then be use to create a protective force field or to stimulate heat molecules which generate concussive force.
Weaknesses: Jean relies more on her powers in combat then she does hand to hand combat though she does know how to do so. She trains both physically and mentally as much as she can to keep herself ready if a battle ensues. Jean has a lot of self-doubts regarding her powers. There is also fear there that keeps her from reaching her full potential with her powers; she does not wish to lose control as she has seen others do before. She respects her own abilities and powers and wishes to always maintain control so she doesn’t hurt those she cares for the most.
Character's History (must be at LEAST 7 sentences): Jean Grey was born the daughter of Dr. John Grey and Elaine Grey. Before joining the X-Men, she lived with her family in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, where Dr. Grey worked as a history professor at Bard College.
Jean is the only member of her immediate family with mutant abilities. Her powers first manifest at the age of ten, prematurely triggered when her best friend, Annie Richards, is hit by a car. As her friend lies dying, Jean instinctively links to her mind and senses what Annie feels when she dies; the trauma of experiencing her friend's death nearly kills Jean as well, but instead leaves her in a coma.
Jean's parents seek the expertise of specialists to rouse her out of her catatonic state, of which only Professor Charles Xavier is able to help. Xavier uses Jean to help locate mutants with his Cerebro Machine. During one fateful session on the astral plane Jean senses young Scott Summers in the orphanage and an aspect of her mind, manifesting in the form of a golden Phoenix raptor, reaches out to him. Xavier realizes that Jean's young mind cannot yet cope with her abilities, so he telepathically blocks her access to them, allowing her powers to evolve at a more natural pace. Jean develops her telekinetic powers at the age of 13. As a teenager, Jean leaves her parents to attend Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and, using the codename "Marvel Girl", becomes the first female X-Man, joining the team on its first mission against Magneto. With the X-Men, she battles the team's earliest and most enduring threats, including Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. the Juggernaut, and the Sentinels.
In an attempt to free Charles Xavier, Scott, and several kidnapped students from a compound in Alkali lake, Jean sacrificed herself for the sake of the entire team. She did what she felt she had to do, she was the only one with the power to save them all. It was believed that Jean Grey died that day, but that was far from the truth. The phoenix force had made its presence known and possessed the body of Jean Grey.
Jean was reincarnated, but the phoenix consumed it. It had complete control over her, and it gave her an unbelievable amount of power. Power that did no good. A side of Jean was shown to the world that never existed before, there was an evil in her that was capable of things she'd never imagine doing. She 'killed' the love of her life, as well as the man who taught her everything. She sided with the man who tried to destroy them on countless occasions, and fought against those she had once called friends. She created a path of destruction, and killed more people than she could count.
Character's Personality (must be at LEAST 7 sentences): Jean is a very easy person to get along with given her gentle nature; she usually has a smile and a kind word for everyone. She knows what it is like to be different as her own experiences have taught her, she is a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to who will listen and not judge. She tries to give good sound advice to those who ask for it and help better everyone’s lives as well as her own. She exhibits a strong sense of calm and understanding whenever she is around people putting them instantly at ease with her.
Though Jean has a caring personality she is far from being a push over, she is very confident in herself and independent. She can be very bold and opinionated and has no problem speaking her mind if she feels it is important enough to voice. Jean stands up for what she believes in and though she is usually a calm collected person she does have a temper. It takes a lot to anger her but when she is mad you know it, she can hold a grudge as anyone else can and has done so on occasion for weeks on end.
Since coming back three years after being ‘killed’ by Logan Jean has suffered as Scott and Xavier has. She is quicker to anger and is frustrated by the drain in her powers. She still deals with her duties at the manor but her skills are not as precise as they once were. She is more distant towards others including Scott though they still love each other and are trying to work things out. She rarely smiles or laughs anymore, she is in a sense a shell of the woman she had once been.
Character's Appearance (must be at LEAST 5 sentences): Jean can turn men’s heads without even trying, it’s due of course to the woman’s striking beauty. Her eyes are usually the first thing to capture anyone, a deep emerald green that holds intelligence and gentleness inside. Along with those green eyes is the wealth of dark red locks that fall past her shoulders in long layers that frame a face of flawless ivory skin and high cheek bones. She is physically fit due to all the training she goes through as one of the X-men her frame slender but well muscled.
Roleplay Sample (must be a LEAST 7 sentences): Darkness, pain, sorrow, rage, lust, she had felt it all raging through her like one of Ororo's storms and yet it was all inside her. The flood of emotions, the knowledge of The Phoenix had overwhelmed Jean Grey to the point where she couldn't fight back. People had died when Phoenix took Jean's body, people that Jean loved more then life itself. Professor Charles Xavier, the man she saw as a second father and a mentor had tried desperately to repair the damage he had done when he blocked Jean's powers and she had killed him for it. Scott Summers, the love of her life had died when she lured him back to the spot of her death and resurrection. The manor had been at risk because of her and so she had fled intending to find a way to calm the turmoil in her mind or never come back. It had been some time ago that all of that had happened and yet Jean felt as if it were yesterday. Since that fateful day when she had left her second home where she was accepted without judgment she had gained some control over Phoenix.
