//Basic Information
Played By: Teorwyn
Codename: Jadespeed
Civilian Identity: Jennifer Walker, M.S.
Nicknames: JS (when in costume), Jen (civilian identity)
Gender: Female
//Description
Age: 27 years
Apparent age: Mid-twenties
Hair: Short, brown, and brushed back. Often tousled.
Eyes: Grey, not very remarkable (unless she uses makeup to draw attention to them, which she rarely does).
Height and weight: Average height, maybe a little on the short side. Very slim, and mildly athletic-looking.
Appearance
As Jadespeed, she recently upgraded from her original costume, which was little more than jeans and a themed t-shirt with a mask. Her new costume is a streamlined affair in a bold jade-green color, with gold lightning bolts forming a belt and a line down the side of each leg. A gold lightning bolt on a white circle is in the center of her chest as her insignia, and she has winglike earpieces inspired by the Flash's. Her arms are bare, and she has gloves that match the green of her costume. Her mask does not cover the top of her head, so that she can feel the wind in her hair when she runs.
As Jennifer, she tends toward jeans and buttoned-up shirts of varying colors, though mostly in shades of blue, green, brown, white, and grey. She is rarely seen in anything other than closed-toe shoes, due to her job at a laboratory. Makeup is almost unknown to her, and it takes her far too long to put on anything more than lip gloss, since she still has very little idea how to go about eyeshadow or foundation. She still tends toward the same sort of clothing on days that she does not work, though she often wears a pair of sandals instead of shoes. She also has a dark blue jacket with the logo of the Buffalo Sabres that she can often be seen wearing.
//Abilities: Meta and Natural
Meta Abilities
Jennifer's primary ability is being able to tap into the Speed Force, resulting in powers such as the ability to reach supersonic speeds--and possible superluminal, though she has not attempted this yet--accelerated healing, and accelerated thought processing. She pretty much has any ability normally associated with speedsters.
Natural Abilities
She has slightly above average intelligence, channeled into a scientific perspective. She has knowledge of biology roughly equivalent to that of any individual with a recent Master of Science degree.
Equipment: Jadespeed's costume is streamlined to provide the least possible amount of friction. It offers basic protection from blows, but is vulnerable to piercing. It does have some insulation against electricity. Her winged earpieces, inspired by those of the Flash, have a minature radio worked into them to allow her to listen to police radio and emergency frequencies. As she primarily relies on her speed, she carries little else in the way of equipment. There is a small light embedded in her left glove, along with a chronometer.
Origin of Abilities: Jennifer gained her ability to tap into the speed force in undergraduate school due to an accident in the lab (it involved chemicals, a botched electrophoresis run, and a panicked lab partner. She doesn't remember any details). Her mental capabilities are all due to college and graduate school classes.
//Weaknesses
Jennifer loves to run, and it can be difficult for her to slow down long enough to have a semi-normal life. She also does not have any abnormal resistances; her accelerated healing does have its limits, and won't do her much good if she sustains a critical injury. Nor is she the most experienced with her powers. Though she knows that she can vibrate at a frequency that allows her to phase through solid objects, she has only done so twice. Every other attempt has left her with a nosebleed, concussion, or similar injury. She also needs to eat more often than normal, due to her accelerated metabolism.
//Personalty
Jennifer is quite shy, and suffers from severe hero worship, especially when it comes to the JSA or anyone with 'Flash' in their name. She has a better handle on the shyness when in costume, since the mask provides a sort of emotional protection. She is quite easily distracted (anything sudden catches her attention immediately), and there is a chance that she suffers from mild ADD, though she has never been tested. She has also gained an occasionally severe problem with impatience since gaining her powers.
She also alternates between being analytical and emotional. She is probably too naive for her own good, and is always afraid of asking for too much from someone. This can result in her refusing to ask for any aid whatsoever, and has led to a certain "I can do it myself" mentality, though she has been working to break from this. She loves to sing, but is too shy to do so where anyone can hear. She also is terrified of driving, and does not even have a permit.
//Background
Born next door to a dairy farm in upstate New York, Jennifer grew up with a veritable obsession for superheroes. Her parents tried to moderate her obsession, but otherwise encouraged her interest. Her other main interest was life and how it works, and thus it was no surprise when she declared her college major to be biology.
An accident in the lab during her junior year--involving a random mix of chemicals and a shock from an electrophoresis gel (as well as a near-panicked lab partner)--resulted in Jennifer gaining an ability to tap into the speed force. She kept her powers a secret right from the start, and turned her scientific interest to learning about her new abilities in secret. It took some time (and she suffered a semester of less-than-desirable grades), but she adapted and learned how to use her powers beneficially. Her interest in superheroes flared up again, and she began to follow their adventures closely once more.
She got to be witness to her first metahuman fight while in graduate school when she came across Black Canary and the original Flash taking on Captain Cold. Jennifer, despite common sense telling her to run, quickly found herself running damage control and getting bystanders to safety. Afterward, the Flash took a moment to thank her and suggest that she had a lot of potential as a hero. She considers that to have been one of the best moments of her life. Following that encounter, she put together a rough costume consisting of little more than jeans, a t-shirt, and a mask, and began her career as Jadespeed. She got a job in Niagara Falls following her graduation, and spent about a year facing off against the likes of robbers, muggers, and the occasional would-be shooter or kidnapper. More recently, she has upgraded her costume and fought a few minor villains. Her most notable battle so far had her stopping some Kobra terrorists from destroying the local power station, which would have plunged much of the northeastern region into a blackout.
//Known Enemies
Aside from a general dislike for people who act like dumb blondes, Jennifer really doesn't have any particular foes. She hasn't been around long enough for her to gain any villain enemies, either--at least so far as she knows.
//Known Allies
Jennifer's parents know her secret and provide some support that she can fall back on in emergency. No one else qualifies right now.
//Teams and Past teams
So far, loner.
//Base of Operations
Niagara Falls, New York.
Other: Jennifer hates loud music that shakes the building and can be heard a block away. However, she absolutely loves Celtic Woman, and will very happily sing along with her CDs--provided no one else is listening. Also, she does not get along with technology at all.
//Criminal Record
None at the moment.
