((He's the twin brother of Gabriela))


Appearance

Hair Color: Male
Eye Color: Brown
Nationality: Brazilian
Physical Appearance: Jake has a slightly feminine, weak feeling about him. He's a rather attractive young child. He looks much like his brother and shares similar features. He has much darker skin than any of his other siblings to the point where he appears African-American. It's safe to say that his nationality is ambiguous at first. His skin is much darker than his sister, and his half brother. He has a skinny build, he does look very unimposing and scrawny. Like he's the kind of person you'd see get beat up a lot. He has a wide chest, not in the muscular-sense, his chest his wide for his age. Jake's face is squared, and very well defined. He has a double chin, and has a small scar across the left side of it, spilling over to the other side. His head is slightly small compared to the rest of his body. His ears are slightly pointed and average sized for his family. He has a few scars on his being. Some with stories, others are just childhood blunders. One notable scar he has is an interesting scar he has under his left eye. This scar looks like it was stitched up years ago, it's bright red and very ugly. Unfortunately, it's very noticeable. He also has the aforementioned scar across his chin, which looks like he was slashed there. Apart of a dare he had made years ago and horribly failed, he has a few tattoos. Nothing special. On his left shoulder is a tattoo of a cross with massive wings pointing downwards. Under this tattoo, MADE IN HEAVEN is written.


Attire: Jake has an extremely fancy style. He wears the best clothes from the best people. Usually he'll wear a suit with a coat on or sometimes even a cape thrown over his shoulders. He'll also wear an assorted amount of hats most of the time he has a fedora. Always resting in the pocket of any shirt he's wearing is a pocket watch made out of solid gold. Sometimes he's just seen staring blankly at it. Ignoring everything that is going on around him.

Personality

Outward Personality: He is for all intents and purposes; the complete opposite of Johnny. Jake is a very friendly person. He treats everyone around him equally and with respect. Unless they had warranted a different treatment. At times Jake can be unnecessarily polite, calling adults Sir or Ma'am even if they ask not to. That's how he was raised up to be. Jake always likes to make friends, since it's common logic that making friends over enemies always helps in the long run. He always tries to be the empathetic one, but at times he finds himself overstepping his boundaries. Apart of his personality is that he tends to be wimpy when alone. He'll easily be pushed around by people who are stronger than him. When he has allies on his side however, this changes fast and he'll stand up for himself and be assertive about what he wants/believes in. If he's confident in himself when alone then he'll easily accomplish this. Sometimes Jake will unintentionally act smug and stuck up. Which may offend people or make them mad. He does have an ego inside of him, he's just subtle and keeps it inside of him. Sometimes it just slips. ((Didn't know where to put this, but whatever)) Jake has a very bad sense of direction. He has a very hard time finding where he wants to go and at times will get lost very easily. Sometimes, he may actually accomplish the impossible and arrive at his destination ((This will be played for laughs)).

Hobbies/Skills: Jake has two major skills. First, he's a very good cook due to the top of the line cooking classes he's received. He can cook some delicious meals. Next, he has a fair share of knowledge on computers. He knows how to code really and could probably hack a website if the skill was useful in this environment. Jake also has some skill in self defense, and can talk down people very well.

Abilities

Power Class: Cerebral

Power: Jake is a master illusionist. He can create illusions that can easily trick people and (sometimes) they'll perceive it as real. Jake has a high degree of control over his powers, and can craft  virtually any illusion that he can think of. With him putting a high amount of effort into crafting his illusions to achieve this. The illusions that Jake creates aren't simple tricks of the mind or bending light, they can be seen, felt, smelt, tasted and heard. They can be either solid or intangible, with varying levels of transparency. Jake can essentially create anything with this and it'd appear real. He can also control the illusions, such as making a pig fly around the room or making a guy walk up and open the illusion door. What they cannot do is transfer kinetic force--- an illusion of a boxer punching a real person would have no effect whatsoever. Illusions made 'solid' usually have the same amount of durability as whatever they are replicating. An illusory wooden table would break under the same circumstances that would break an actual wooden table. In regards to detection, illusions cannot be distinguished from reality through advanced technological means of analysis. With this ability Jake can easily trick people, by creating people, false backgrounds and other useful techniques. He can also make objects/people invisible at will. This power can allow him to not only trick people, but defend people with his illusions.

A technique that Jake has developed with his illusions is the ability to make copies of himself using illusions. Exact copies that will do whatever he commands them to do. An interesting part of this power is that he can see what they see. He can use this for advanced scouting. These clones will be destroyed if they're hit.

Weaknesses: Jake's power has two main oppositions to his ability. Energy can disrupt and destroy his illusions. If any form of energy contacts his illusions then it'll fade away. Any Energy-type Meta-humans can easily disrupt and destroy his illusions with their powers. Notably, energy must be of relatively high intensity in order to disrupt the illusions. Projection of light, low levels of radiation, small amounts of heat, etc won't cause the illusions to be destroyed or notably destroyed. Cerebral types Meta-humans are his next opposition. Certain kinds of cerebral type Meta-humans--- Such as telepaths and empaths, can interfere with his illusions with their minds and cause them to be disrupted. Other Cerebral type Meta-Humans can see through his illusions and walk through them like they are nothing. While Jake has a high level of control over his illusions, it takes  effort with complex scenery and detail, and he also has difficulty making illusions register across all five senses (more than one takes a considerably degree of concentration). If Illusions that Jake creates take even a small amount of damage (say if he makes a table and it gets chipped) they'll fade away immediately. While he can just put it back, over exerting himself can be hazardous. Creating too many illusions at a time can cause damage to his mind and maybe cause him to pass out. Finally, illusions cannot be made to move unless Jake devotes attention to them--- they are effectively stationary and static otherwise.

Burst Potential: Theta, Alpha and Omega

Other: Jake is the half brother to Johnny, and the twin brother to Gabriela. He isn't in any way related to Sylvia.

Abilities

Power Class: Elemental/Super-System/Energy (?)

Power: While Gabriela isn't a true fire elemental she has a power close to it, she can't create fire. She has the Fire Heart, which gifts her with several abilities. The first ability worth mentioning is that she's completely immune to heat. Absolutely nothing heat related will damage her in the slightest. Gabe can be dropped into molten lava, and thrown into the sun. With zero effects on her well being (then again, there's other problems resulting from that). The cold doesn't effect her too much, since she's always hot. The next ability she has is anything hot or on fire will get much hotter. Fires will start to burn brighter and dance when she's around. They'll get out of control very fast. For example, if someone ignites a lighter near her the fire will be much larger, and quickly the lighter will get so hot that they'll get burnt. This makes any amount of fire around her very dangerous. Gabriela can technically create fire. She can serve as a catalyst for friction-based combustion. To elaborate: She can enhance heat based-friction reactions to the point if she rubs her thumb against something it'll catch fire. She can use this on the air around her very well and cause it to burst into air, only for it to dissipate a moment later. Her last and most powerful ability is that she can super-heat any part of her body. When Gabe super heats her body her skin will glow bright orange and will be insanely hot. While she can only super heat two parts of her body at one time, this enhances her strikes, and gives her the ability to melt metal in moments. Gabe usually uses this power to super heat her legs and strike down foes.

Advanced powers would include control over the Pyric Spectrum (control over all forms of fire), turning into fire, and absorbing heat.

Weaknesses: Water. Lots of it. This would only apply if she's submerged in water. Once she's in water her body will start to cool down. If she fully cools down her Fire Heart will be extinguished for at least a few days. This means she'll be cut off from all her heat powers except for her resistance. The cold will be extra dangerous against her, and intense cold may kill her. Exposing her to heat will speed up the process of recovering her fire heart. Gabriela isn't immune to smoke in any way, so if she breathes in too much smoke she'll die of smoke inhalation. Finally, she has no control over fire (at the moment) any flames and heat that get out of control may cause unnecessary damage to allies and personal possessions. This is a bigger weakness than you may think.

Burst Potential: Theta, Gamma and Delta

Other: She is the younger half sister of Johnny and twin sister of Jake, but, isn't related to Sylvia in any way.
