codename » | Jubilee |
age » | 18+ but otherwise negotiable |
birthday » | July 4th |
personality »
bubbly and vivacious, jubilee is a people person.she loves talking to people, getting to know people, being around people... being bored or lonely are things she can't stand. she has a knack for getting into trouble. not because she's mean-spirited, but because she's impulsive and does things that seem like good ideas at the time
likes: cotton candy, fireworks, loud noises, music, talking, the telephone, the color yellow, bubble gum, anything sweet, sugar, fluffy things, the institute, being a pain in the ass.
dislikes: vegetables, reading, sitting still, shutting up, being bored.
phobias/fears: jubilee is terrified of anything bad happening to anyone at the school. after losing her parents and coming to xavier's, the institute and the people in it became her family and losing her 'new' family scares the hell out of her. and with things just getting crappier and crappier, she knows it’s getting more likely that she’s going to lose more people. as it is, people she adores (ie: kitty, kurt, doc mccoy, etc.) are who knows where she’s felt those losses more deeply than she’s felt anything since losing her parents.
hobbies: playing pranks, getting up in everyone's bizness, gymnastics, finding ways to get around the responsibilities she does have.
goals: jubilee's not a very goal-oriented person. she attended college only because she figured she should do something until she could access the trust fund her parents left her and because she knew that they'd want her to continue her education. now she’s funneling that trust fund money back into the school. it’s not a lot, considering how many people the school houses, but it seems like the right thing to do.
strengths: jubilee is loyal, almost to a fault. she's extremely flexible, both physically and personality wise. she's a people person and, as long as it's not someone who'd find her bubbly personality obnoxious, she can get along with just about anyone.
weaknesses/flaws: she doesn't always... okay, she never thinks before she acts. it tends to get her into a lot of trouble that could have been easily avoided.
history »
Jubes is a mix of 616 canon and original trilogy canon. Yes, I know she appeared in Apocalypse. My Jubes is aged the same as Rogue/Iceman/Pyro/Shadowcat. Movie timelines are confusing.
The specifics of her time after arriving at Xavier's are negotiable.
Born to Chinese-American immigrants, Jubilee grew up in Beverly Hills, California and attended fancy prep schools for most of her young life. Jubilee wasn't spoiled... not exactly... but she definitely never wanted for anything. She started running around at the mall with her friends at a young age and her parents were never particularly strict. Jubilee's mutant abilities manifested relatively early, when she was only ten, and out with a group of her friends at the mall. Her hands suddenly started shooting sparks and, terrified of what was happening, she ran over to the penny fountain and submerged them, trying to put out the fireworks.
Her parents came to pick her up from the mall and were actually, in contrast to a lot of parents of mutants, pretty understanding about the whole thing... it helped the Jubilee picked up control of her powers quickly.
When she was eleven, Jubilee's parents were killed in a car crash. They had, unfortunately, made the mistake of thinking that they wouldn't die before Jubilee was 21 because they left her a trust fund that she couldn't touch until that age. Left without any family, she was, luckily, located by Cerebro and Professor Xavier and brought to the Institute. Hardly shy, Jubilee acclimated quickly even though she was still dealing with the deaths of her parents.
Over the years, she became a pretty permanent fixture at the school, joining the X-Men during her senior year in high school and then deciding to continue living at the mansion during college.
powers & skills »
jubilee has the ability to create bursts of energy plasmoids from her fingertips. most often, she refers to them as 'fireworks'. these fireworks are under her mental control and take the forms of balls, streamers, and other shapes, and explode when she desires.
FIREWORKS: the strength of the energy in these fireworks ranges from colorful sparkles that are capable of temporarily blinding a person, to powerful detonations that are capable of destroying and smashing objects and destroying property, to precise bursts into a human's brain that could stimulate the effects of a massive stroke. jubilee is able to absorb the fireworks back into her own body without harm.
PSIONIC SHIELDS: jubilee's mind possesses a natural defense against telepathic detection or attack. these psionic shields render her mind "slippery" and invisible to telepathic beings unless they know precisely what to mentally scan for.
