Chris wears a light grey trench coat (leading to his nickname Colombo) over a black t-shirt and dark blue jeans. He is usually seen carrying around his guitar, since it’s his main source of income. His dirty blonde hair is a medium length.

Paladin’s outfit is a baggy white tunic and baggy white trousers. On his belt are a series of pouches that contain regents and minor medical tools. He also wears a breastplate, gauntlets and shoulder armour all of which are made of a light, white metal. A white cloth covers his nose and mouth, and his black hair is long, going gown passed his shoulders. Down his left eye is a scar.

===POWERS===

Powers: Chris has access to a wide variety of powers, and can use them at a decent level. First and foremost, at the click of his fingers, he can change his appearance to that of the Paladin, and back again in the same manner.

Through years of training, he has managed to develop an iron will, allowing him to resist mind control and other mental effects.

His soul is connected to a forgotten god, Sha’lek, giving him access to certain abilities, such as self propelled flight, and the projection of Holy energy (which manifests itself as a white flame) which can be used as projectile attacks and healing.

Sha’lek, being a god of light and music, gives him the ability to manipulate emotions through music. However, he isn’t fond of messing with the minds of others, so this power is hardly used, and therefore, under developed.

Chris is an accomplished martial artist, training in case his powers ever fail him. He is a master of Ninjitsu, Shotokan, Kempo and Aikido.

Personality:
Chris is a friendly guy, often smiling and offering his company to people he feels need it. However, he does lack the confidence to maintain a conversation, stumbling for words and generally being nervous in new company.

Paladin, on the other hand, is logical and nearly emotionless. He will calmly assess a situation and often come up with a plan on how to deal with it. He will act as a lone wolf, in this respect, doing whatever he can to reduce the emotional ties.

This psychological profile often leads people to believe that the two are different people, supported by their appearance changing. While it can be seen as true, Chris and Paladin are in fact the same people. The differing personalities were simply part of his secret identity (in the same way that Bruce Wayne is a playboy while Batman is a cold, logical person). Chris’s personality is the dominant one, however, while Paladin also acts as a defence mechanism, preventing as much emotional damage as possible.

===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===

Family: Henry and Louisa Jameson (parents)
Place of Origin: Oxford, England
History:

Chris’s life was a pretty normal one until he reached schooling age. At this point, a pair of representatives from the Academy of Nol, sensing the potential in the boy, took him to be trained as a magical warrior.

The academy was a military school based on Rorek’s teachings (which is why the majority of the warriors have a similar appearance to him). They were established around the concept of ‘The Balance’, a scale of all the major elements of magic, which are at a constant level. If anything were to dramatically tip it, then it would spell the end of the world.

The academy was founded in a private dimension, and was made to be similar to the Green Lantern Corp, training guardians to be sent to specific worlds and dimensions in order to protect them. Each Soldier would be assigned an Assassin, a skilled warrior who would be able to eliminate the soldier in case they went rogue.

Over the course of his training, Chris became the first student to establish a connection with a god and utilise divine magic. He also learnt how to use medicine and martial arts to their full potential.

He didn’t return until he was 18. When he did, however, he was instantly assigned a mission. Due to the occurrence of a temporary apocalypse, as well as the release of Malchior, he was told to find the cause, and assess them to see if they should be eliminated or not. Over time, Chris was eventually led to Jump City, searching for the one named ‘Raven’.

Between working as a musician at a local restaurant and monitoring Raven’s progress, Paladin continues to function as a standard superhero. However, he remains mysterious, working on his own rather than directly with other heroes.

Chris still maintains contact with his Parents through letters and the occasional phone call.

Sample RP

Quote :

The streets of Jump City were clustered with people that hot summer day. Whether they were on their way to work, doing a spot of shopping, or simply taking advantage of the good weather, it seemed that everybody was outside that afternoon.

Among the crowds was a young man in an outfit that seemed counter-productive in the light of the hot sun. A heavy, light grey trench coat was worn over a black shirt which, in turn, was tucked into a pair of dark blue jeans. The individual in question was holding the strap to a black guitar case which was slung over his left shoulder.

A pair of shades covered his brown eyes. He seemed to have a fairly pale complexion, and his dirty blonde, unkempt hair gave the image of a possible recluse or loner; an individual who had spent much of his time in doors, alone, possibly practicing on the guitar he seemed to have in his possession.

While he walked, his gaze moved from spot to spot. He was analysing the surrounding area, as if to find something interesting while he wandered the city streets.

Something, however, compelled him to stop

“Something’s not right...” he muttered, with a voice that sounded somewhat British, with a slight American twist. It was true, an instinctive feeling in the back of his mind was telling him that something was coming, and that this something was big.

That same ‘something’ was also heading in his general direction.

Author's Notes: Would have included a picture, but I'm kinda restricted by time, and my drawing skills are sub-par. I may add one at a later date, but I hope it's ok

Sorry it took a bit to reply, was thinking whether or not your a bit powerful with such a variety of powers.
