− | {{Tab}}Thick straight hair, often dyed brilliantly unnatural colours, falls shaggy-floppy to frame graceful features: eyebrows arch dark against extraordinarily pale skin, lips full, cheekbones set high, thick dark lashes around one startlingly vivid blue eye; there is a sunken empty socket where the other should be, though this is often hidden beneath eyepatches in a variety of colours, or mirrored dark glasses. | + | {{Tab}}Thick straight hair, often dyed brilliantly unnatural colours, falls shaggy-floppy to frame graceful features: eyebrows arch dark against extraordinarily pale skin, lips full, cheekbones set high, thick dark lashes around one startlingly vivid blue eye; there is a sunken empty socket where the other should be, though this is often hidden beneath eyepatches in a variety of colours, or mirrored dark glasses. Clean-shaven, his face also sports a wealth of metal, a number of piercings dotted across his features. Much of his skin neck-down plays host to tattoos in bright colours. His right hand has four fingers, only scar tissue remaining where the pinky should be. He stands average height at just a hair shy of 5'10", with a trim swimmer's body; lithe, lean musculature is carried with a dancer's easy grace. |

{{Tab}}Though always politically bent and heavily involved in activism (focused around environmental justice and animal rights, largely) it was his abduction by Prometheus that focused this activism in more ''aggressive'' ways. In the wake of his rescue from there, he and some of the other rescuees have attempted hunting down other similar facilities and liberating their occupants. | {{Tab}}Though always politically bent and heavily involved in activism (focused around environmental justice and animal rights, largely) it was his abduction by Prometheus that focused this activism in more ''aggressive'' ways.

− | {{Tab}}Outside of being a vigilante he keeps busy. Between work -- part-time as a tattoo artist and body piercer, part-time as a teacher at Xavier's; between life as an X-Man and helping out at church and the various activist groups he's involved in, he doesn't find much time for sleep. Single fatherhood doesn't help with that either; he has [[B|twin]] [[Shane|college kids]] and a [[Spencer|twelve-year-old]] rescued from Prometheus and subsequently adopted. | + | {{Tab}}Outside of being a vigilante he keeps busy.

{{Tab}}At its base, Jackson is a photokinetic. His mutation controls the light around him, bending it in accordance with his moods and thoughts. With training and practice he's learned to leash it so that for the most part it doesn't visibly happen when he doesn't want it to, and so that it /does/ respond when he /does/ want it to. | {{Tab}}At its base, Jackson is a photokinetic.

− | This power makes him effectively an illusionist, and in this he is most adept, bending and reorganizing light waves to change their appearance. He creates vivid holographic images that are substanceless, soundless, but quite visually convincing. Unlike psionically-based illusions, his are "real" in that he is actually moving the light waves themselves and therefore the resulting imagery would show up on camera | + | This power makes him effectively an illusionist, and in this he is most adept, bending and reorganizing light waves to change their appearance.

His mutation -- and him -- powers itself largely on solar power. Without a good enough charge, he can't shield at all and his beams will be weak. His illusions require the least energy expenditure, but still take a lot out of him if he does too much too long. | His mutation -- and him -- powers itself largely on solar power.
