Jacob's combat uniform. The wings on this picture are too long. As of now, they only reach him down to his waist.

Personality:
Jacob is an upbeat guy. He’s always smiling and in a good mood. He loves to play pranks on his friends, and can always be found either outside, climbing a tree, riding a shopping cart into a river. Or inside reading comics and playing video games. He is very naïve and doesn’t always realize when people are making jokes about him or insulting him.
Jacob is a person who likes people of all personalities. The only exception are people with no sense of humor. Jacob finds these people so aggravating that he will make it his own personal crusade to make them laugh.

Jacob was thrilled when he realized he had mutant powers. An avid fan of super-hero comics and video games, he thought it was awesome that he had special powers of his own. Early acceptance of his powers have helped him to control his power. And even though he is only 17, he has great control of himself. In battle he is confident and a bit reckless. He will generally be the first one to throw a punch, and will be the last guy to retreat if necessary.

He has never been very concerned with the mutant/human issue. However, he feels he has joined the right side and is determined to fight against anyone who tries to harm innocent people, whether it be human or mutant.

History:
Adrian Michaels was born in Queens, New York to Robert Michaels, a Teacher, and Elizabeth Michaels, a nurse. Adrian came from a loving home and had good upbringing. He was as wild as a child as he is now, and his mischievous nature was apparent from a very early age. One of his first pranks included a toaster and his dads favorite Rush CD’s.

School was somewhat of a problem for Adrian, not because he was dumb or anything like that. Adrian was very smart for his age. His problem was that he couldn’t concentrate on any of the subjects. When in class he would do other stuff like draw of just daydream instead of paying attention. Sometimes he would just skip school and instead go adventuring in the big city. It was on one of these adventures that his would manifest. Wanting to try out some Parkour moves he’d seen on the TV the night before. He tried to jump from rooftop to rooftop. Needless to say, he failed. In an event that should have killed a normal human being, he realized to his surprise that he had survived. His feet had somehow absorbed the damage of his fall. Amazed at what had just happened to him, he jumped for joy, this caused him to fly several feet into the air. His x-gene manifestation had resulted in incredible leg power, that allowed him to jump and run at an incredible level.

Overjoyed at what had happened, he spent of the rest of day jumping from skyscraper to skyscraper. Exhausted from playing with his new powers, he returned home and immediately fell asleep. As if getting amazing leg power wasn’t enough. He woke up the next day with wings and a couple of antennas growing out of his forehead!!

Always being somewhat of a weirdo at school, having powers never interfered with his school life. He kept his powers hidden from the other kids and only used when he was alone. The antennas were cleverly hidden behind hats, caps and hoodies. However, he often wished for something to happen. Just after his 17th birthday, a bald guy in a wheelchair rang on the Shaw residence door. He introduced himself as Charles Xavier and invited Jacob to join a school where Jacob could learn how to control his powers, as well as advancing them. Jacob agreed on the spot and has been at Xavier’s Institute for Gifted Children since.

Current Residence:
Xavier’s Institute for Gifted Children

Powers:
Jacob has superhuman agility. He has super strong legs that gives him jumping, running and kicking power far beyond any normal human, as. He also posses the ability to emit sonic soundwaves from the antennas that grow on his forehead. The soundwave makes a loud chirping sound, very similar to the crickets song. Jacob can amplify and control the volume of the soundwaves at will. The antennas on his forehead is the first part of his physical mutation. The second part is are bug like wings that grows from between his shoulder blades and reach down to his waist. The wings are not fully developed and Jacob is incapable of sustained flight as of now. Jacob mainly uses his wings for giving him extra boosts when jumping and for dodging attacks while in combat.

Power Development:
Jacob has the potential to increase his overall physique to atleast twice the power it has now. When is wings are fully matured he will be able to maintain sustained flight. His antenna soundwaves will most likely increase in power a swell. He might even be able to use his antennas to take control over bugs for a short period of time.

Other skills:
Makes a mean chili con carne

Equipment:

Fighting Style:
Jacob’s preferred method of fighting includes rapid leg combos finished of with a sonic soundwave to the face. Jacob is a fan of hit and run tactics. Meaning he will use his speed to strike fast and the run away to think about his next move.

Fit the application into the new applications format. This WIP was posted after we changed it, so you probably have to conform. It only takes a couple of seconds.

Appearance:

Add a bit more about what kind of clothing he usually wears. The mask also makes it impossible to see what kind of colour his hair and eyes are.

Couple of more sentences.

Powers:

Here too we would like to see another sentence. You could further describe the sonic "attack" and how far his wings allow him to fly, etc.
