===POWERS===
Matter Manipulation: Armor: The ability to touch any solid surface with his skin and convert his entire body to mimic it in a one inch thick coating. This includes but is not limited to; plants, any metal or mineral, fur or hair, rubber, ice, and sometimes loose substances such as jello, but not any water based liquids. The coating also covers all of his clothing, hair, nails, and in some cases extortioner items attacked to him, as long as it remains making skin contact. The same rule applying to people he's holding onto while suiting up as well. The transformation can take place int he blink of an eye and doesn't always have to be the full body. Oddly enough everything he wears also keeps it mobility in addition to his muscles and limbs. This is due to his transformation being of cellular make up and not taking on the actual materials:
-Strength increase of 2 to 4 tons depending on material.
-Durability of material doubles and can expand around certain areas.
-Gains same weaknesses of armor.
-Gains same mannerisms of armor.
-Instant limb regeneration in armor form, as long as a source of the material is accessible.Matter Alteration: In addition to manipulating his own body structure, as long as JaK knows what the material is composed of. He can breakdown, destroy, and separate the bonding of materials at a cellular level, instantaneously, as long as his hands make contact with the surface. Although, this still does not work on liquid based substances or when in full armor form. JaK sends a neural pulse through his body and through said object causing his cells to invade and break apart the material.
-Deconstruction works for a 6 foot radius
-Mainly used on inanimate objects, due to multiple layers on living beings (blood, bone, skin)
-Split second reaction makes it good for blocking attacks.
-Doesn't work on magical, mystical or divine objects.Pure Matter Punch: JaK's final ability, and his ultimate attack is the (PMP); a pure mass punch. It is an anomaly in which JaK will coat his entire forearm in a full-body armor's worth of substance and then manipulate the molecules in it at a subatomic level to collide and form the material's purest state. Akin to the building blocks of all creation, the PM punch can deliver a blow that can hurt/pierce any solid object. With the only exceptions being magical, energy, or large liquids. JaK can hold the reaction for a matter of 10 to 15 seconds, with a dire result of his arm typically being burnt to near crisp and off in the case of holding it any longer than 15 sec.
-Cannot be blocked by physical means, only energy/mystic.
-Takes 3 to 5 seconds to charge, plus converting the armor to his arm.
-Will only penetrate the material if it doesn't budge on contact, otherwise it's blown back.
-Almost NEVER utilized, because of personal damage it inflicts.
-Glows with same intensity as the sun; white/gold.Enhanced Healing Factor: Due to injection, JaK's cellular make up has the ability to heal from nearly all severe wounds far quicker than the average human depending on severity of injury, such as skin regrowth from the bone and severe lacerations. In extreme cases surviving illness and wounds that would otherwise incapacitate human beings. In addition, this also grants JaK a perfect human body for his weight, height, and size. His hearing, reflexes, sight, flexibility, strength, stamina, etc. are all maximized for a teenage boy of his stature:
-Resistance to illness.
-Enhanced cognitive capabilities.
-Retarded aging.
-Unreliable healing time-frame.Acrobatics/Free-Running: JaK Sage, even without use of his powers is one of the top 5 free runners in the world among humans. With his powers he is among the top 12. His ability to move through and around obstacles at rapid pace is beyond nearly all pro-athletes and can perform maneuvers that gauge the superhuman perspective of what's acrobatically possible:
-15 ft vertical jump without powers.
-Superb balance on nearly all surfaces.
-Extremely accurate perception of distance, size, & space.
-Skilled in all forms of body movement.===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===

Strengths: Willpower - Similar to the Green Lanterns, JaK has an indomitable will to never give up and to succeed. He always gives it 110% when he's trying something and is resilient to even the most extreme pain. This ability allows him to push himself in certain areas, such as attempting feats that seem impossible and allowing him to push his own capabilities, like punching through brick. Additionally, he can sustain fairly large amounts of torture; physical and emotional and has a resistance to any type of control or manipulation as long as he's aware of it.
Optimum Brain Efficiency: In other words, JaK is a quick thinker. He can assess situations, surroundings, and multiple outcomes at a rapid rate thanks to his healing factor enhancing his brain activity. EX: In a fight he once dodged an attacked and tied together two vines he found on the floor while in mid-roll to set a trap without being noticed. He can do split second minor calculations with ease and usually comes up with battle strategies quickly. As well as being naturally smart when it comes to figuring out puzzles, traps, angles, and general critical thinking. However, his personality downplays it quite a bit and his anger causes him to be irrational. Also, is a quick learner and has eidetic memory.
Weaknesses: -When fatigued JaK cannot keep up his armor form.
-JaK refuses to kill and does not use lethal force, at most he will try to kill himself and the opponent, but will never flat out try to end their life.
-His ability to deconstruct will never be used on living beings, because of no kill policy.
-His temper causes him to negate logical decisions, such as retreating or considering others who lives may be in danger.
-He can still be knocked out, drown, suffer chemical burns and gassing. It just takes a longer time for the effects of these things to keep him down.
-When unarmored he can be physically hurt by all things normal humans can.
-Cannot survive without his brain or heart and cannot take too much damage to either area, as well as loss of both lungs.
-Although he doesn't make many physically, JaK makes mistakes like any human.
-Emotional or attacking him with his past can cause severe distress.
-Mixed materials can negate his deconstruction ability by keeping him guessing. Skills: Mixed Martial Arts - Although, not masterful in any singular form of combat or a top notch fighter in any regard due to lack of discipline position. JaK is a improvisational fighter. Usually he combines techniques with his aerobatics for a form of fighting, which is flashy, quick, and makes good use of his surroundings. He has trained in shinobi tactics by the master of martial arts, learned the ways of kung-fu, picked up streets fighting in Gotham, and self-taught himself in many other forms of fighting as well as been instructed by Psychosis. Not to mention had 2 years worth of field experience with super-villains.
Multilingual: JaK knows a bit of Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Spanish/Portuguese mix, and the basics of South African. He can't necessarily read all of it well though, but can figure out some words and has dabbled in multiple other languages form his time with the Titans.
Equipment: In compartments of his checkered belt, JaK has built openings for a few items to help him out of tight spots: smoke bombs, tacks/marbles,etc. In addition, he wears life preservation gem (Given to him by a wizard) around his neck.
Strapped to his lower-back there is a space metal black dagger made of unknown materials, but is very light, however when wielded by Sage it has unrelenting power like him.
Tritanium wrist-shooters - Dual metal gauntlets made to look like Wonder Woman's, which can be used to deflect attacks, but when activated they prop open with four compartments that will shoot stunning proton fire with enough kick to either stun or blast brick to smithereens. They can be fired in short bursts for explosive impact or sprays.
Habits/Quirks: Occasionally JaK will smoke cigarettes, knowing he can't really get caner. He cracks his knuckles, neck, and ligaments. A bang will commonly cover his eye and he will wear punkerish clothing, to switch up his outfit on occasion. He walks like he doesn't really care about his surroundings and typically has a scowl on his face. Like to speak in metaphors and curses from time to time.
Personality: JaK always has an attitude, but it's not always angry. He can be sarcastic, angry, arrogant, egotistical, sassy, etc. However, JaK always has a moody misdemeanor. However, deep down he has a desire to always do the right thing and uphold ideals of freedom and humanity. He typically, doesn't follow rules and gets into a lot of conflicts, but he's not a bad guy at heart. He stands up for what he believes in and never backs down from challenges. He's haunted by his past and usually feels alone in the world.
===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===
Family: Nightmare AKA David SagePlace of Origin: Gotham City
History: JaK Sage was born in Gotham City along with his brother David, who was the eldest of the two. Their parents were scientist, his father a bio-chemist for STAR Labs and his mom a lead scientist at Wayne Industries. They lived a nice life and were very well off until JaK turned 8 years old. Then their lives as they knew it, changed forever...JaK's mom got laid off at Wayne Industries after Gotham started to have a rise in super villain activity and the economy went down. This put all the pressure on his father, who was also on the hook at his place of work. He needed to make a break through in his cancer research or he was going to be shut down. His formula to hyper regenerate dead cells wan't ready yet and needed more testing. JaK's dad feeling the pressure decided that he had no choice, but to push a human trial, electing his own children for the process. His first test subject being JaK and then David. For David the formula seemed to work better than their father had hoped. The wound from the shot he received with the concoction healed right away, but for JaK the affects took a somewhat different turn. His skin began to absorb the matter of his surroundings uncontrollably. Whatever he touched, became infused into his skin. May it be a desk, a table, his own shoes. His father horrified yet intrigued at the same time, decided to keep him at the lab for further testing and told no one at STAR Labs of what had happened. Thinking this could be much bigger than just some cure for cancer and began to spend all his time trying to work with JaK on controlling his powers. With no research to present, their father was fired. Their mother doing some odd jobs, while JaK & their dad made a through breakthroughs in his new abilities. Meanwhile David would become jealous at how his father paid more attention to JaK, always asking him how he feels and pampering him...The serum he received having an adverse affect on his mind and causing David to believe that his father loved JaK more than him. This in turn caused him to lash out at his parents, his mother always trying to calm his temper, but to no avail. Sometimes David would get so angry it would seem steam were coming out of his head. One day discovering his new power to create fire from his own body. The formula given to him, had bestowed upon David the power to cause his cells to combust as well as multiply at an alarming rate.
A year would pass and JaK as well as David would get better control of their abilities. At school one day, there was a fight and JaK knowing better didn't use his powers. Resulting in him getting roughed up quite a bit, sending him to the hospital. David extremely upset by this, confronted the ones responsible and in a struggle gave them 3rd degree burns. After which time he was punished by his parents, being ridiculed constantly for using his powers and almost exposing himself. David unable to take the yelling anymore, lost his temepr and burnt down the entire house..Killing both parents! David would then run away, finding JaK at the hospital he was sent to and gave his brother a story about how the boys that beat him up came to the hosue and burnt it down. He himself only still alive, because of his healing factor. Telling his brother that they had to run away forever. Saying that they would find both of them and blame them for what happened, due to their powers and lock them up. Years would pass, JaK & his brother living on the streets. Always having to fight and steal for what they wanted, looking out for solely each other. It was during this time, they both became experts at free running, from consntly running from the cops. Also learning fighting techniques from different people they would have scuffles with, JaK acceling at both of these practices as time passed. David on the other hand's personality would become more rash and aggressive. His mind constantly being plagued with Nightmare's of his parents incident and even deeming himself "Nightmare" to those who would cross their path. He started to forget the code they lived by, using his powers out int he open, almost killing a few people until his brother stopped him. Their travels now bring them to Jump City, where they hope they can finally start a new life for themselves....
Sample RP
'Finally made it', is what JaK would think to himself as he and his brother walked along the streets of Jump City. This is it, this is the place where they could finally make a fresh start and start a new life for themselves he could feel it. Well as long as Dave didn't do something to get them ran out of town again. It was at this time he would notice his brother steal a hot dog from a vendor when his back was turned and take a huge bite out of it. Then as Nightmare turned back to his brother their eyes would lock with JaK's disapproving stare burning a hole through him. "Weve been here all of an hour and you're already starting?" David wouldn't even answer, and instead just looked away with a moody glare as he took another bite. JaK just sighing deeply as he saw what they had been looking for across the street. "Look, there it is. Stay here, I'm going for a closer look and D try to behave."
