SUMMARY: PC/OC/; Jonathan "Jonesy" Blake Jones was born into a unique legacy. His mother, Daphne Blake, hailed from an old-money family that made its fortune in cod liver oil during the early 20th century. Over the years, Daphne used her sharp business acumen to invest and diversify the family wealth, ensuring her children would never want for anything. As a result, Jonesy grew up with a very respectable trust fund, allowing him the freedom to pursue his passions rather than the pressures of earning a living.
Unlike his adventure-prone parents—Daphne with her grace under pressure and Fred with his tireless leadership—Jonesy preferred the quiet, intellectual pursuits of literature and history. From a young age, he felt a peculiar sensitivity to the world around him, a faint psychic awareness that made him keenly attuned to the subtle ebbs and flows of life’s currents.
In his twenties, Jonesy decided to follow his passion and took a job at a rare bookstore, not out of necessity but out of love for forgotten stories and dusty tomes. One day, while cataloging an unmarked crate of old books, he uncovered an extraordinary artifact: the Diary of Destiny of the Endless. Captivated by its enigmatic pages, Jonesy made the impulsive decision to photocopy one particular page he found intriguing.
Unbeknownst to him, this act tethered him to the timescape. The page began giving him fragmented glimpses of what needed to happen in the present to ensure the proper flow of time. These cryptic nudges didn’t explain why or how, only what he needed to do. With no real understanding of the cosmic forces at play, Jonesy began subtly influencing events, driven by an inexplicable sense of duty.
Though his psychic talents are minor compared to others, Jonesy has found purpose in his role as an unseen guardian of time’s proper passage. While his parents may have solved mysteries with their bravery and resourcefulness, Jonesy’s quiet diligence and otherworldly connection make him an unsung hero in his own right. Still, he wonders what deeper mysteries the Diary of Destiny holds—and whether he’s merely a pawn or something more.
r3 3 3; I'm open to a variety of scenarios for my character, provided that they don&ap os;t lead to long-term consequences. If there are any potential lasting effects—such as permanent changes to the character's abilities, personality, or situation—please contact me via Discord to discuss the details beforehand.
I prefer to avoid any permanent harm, death, or elements that would render my character unplayable. Let's ensure that our roleplay remains enjoyable and engaging for both of us!
Unique; A type of Psychic Paper, favored by certain time travelers, possesses the remarkable ability to present whatever the user—known as "Jonesy"—wishes the observer to see. When shown to someone, it induces them to perceive credentials or messages that align with the user's intent. Mysteriously, even when verified against advanced systems, the paper's fabricated credentials often appear valid, though the mechanism behind this remains unknown. However, its effectiveness is limited; intellectual giants like Professor Xavier or Amadeus Cho (Brawn) are immune to its illusions.
The origins of psychic paper trace back to the psychic trees of Boda, a rare species harvested posthumously for their extraordinary properties. The resulting paper retains the psychic resonance of the trees, enabling its mind-bending abilities.
Tool; A stainless steel key decoder is a locksmith tool designed to measure the depth of each cut on a key by aligning the key's valleys with precise notches on the decoder, each representing a specific depth. By sliding the key along the tool and matching each cut with a notch, users can read the depth codes needed to duplicate or recreate the key accurately, enabling easy reproduction or analysis of the lock’s pin configuration.
Limitation:Must be inserted into the specific lock
Tool; Often similar in appearance to dental tools, the "pick" is simply inserted into the lock and turned clockwise with medium torque. As the tool is pushed into the lock, each of the pins is slowly forced down until they stop, thus binding the driver pins behind the shear line of the lock. When the final pick is pushed down, the shear plane is clear and the lock opens; They often come in a set of 12 to 18 different picks and tension bars.
Unique; Like a backpack but hopefully cooler, Jonesy messenger bag is an old fashion styled replica of a 1940's Newsy messenger bag. Worn slung over the shoulder, the olive grey waterproof bag provides ample room for his books, change of clothing, water bottle, sandwiches, and more. Most of the time what is in his back is very bland and basic with the only noteable thing being that no matter how much he puts into the back or pulls out of it, it always seems roughly one-third full. However sometimes something quite useful is in the back, an example being a spare Spider-Man cowl not that Jonesy or anyone ever put one specifically in there, but then again no one ever specifically didn't either (the bag has a logic all it's own and is best not fathomed too deeply)
Supernatural; Jonesy has the ability to understand and communicate with animals, perceiving their thoughts, emotions, and intentions in a way that transcends language barriers. This power allows him to interact with a wide range of creatures, from household pets to wild animals, in a manner that feels natural and intuitive.
Though he cannot speak to animals in human language, Jonesy can understand their needs, desires, and sometimes even their memories or concerns. In turn, he can convey basic messages to them, guiding or directing their actions with subtle suggestions or commands. This ability is not mind control but more of an empathetic connection that allows for meaningful communication.
While the power is valuable in gathering information or gaining assistance from animals, it requires focus and emotional alignment. The stronger or more intelligent the animal, the clearer the communication, but Jonesy may struggle with very young, aggressive, or particularly complex creatures. Nonetheless, his connection to the animal world often gives him insights and advantages others might overlook.
Social; If XXXcNameXXX witnesses any wrong-doings, he will try his damnedest to right them much like his would, He can't help himself, its simply how he was raised. Furthermore he will try to right a situation regardless of what physical harm or emotional hardship he might befall him in so doing.
Social; Jonesy possesses an insatiable curiosity that drives him to seek answers and uncover the unknown, often without realizing the dangers involved. This relentless inquisitiveness fuels his resourcefulness and sharp instincts, making him a natural problem-solver. However, his eagerness to explore secrets or understand hidden phenomena can lead him into precarious situations, as his fascination often overrides caution. Unknowingly an agent of Destiny, his actions frequently place him in the path of forces far beyond his understanding, resulting in unintended consequences. Jonesy's curiosity is both his greatest strength and most significant vulnerability, constantly testing his ability to balance his desire for knowledge with the wisdom to tread carefully.
Supernatural; Jonesy has inherited his mother Daphne’s knack for attracting trouble, a trait often described as being “danger-prone.” Through no fault of his own, perilous situations seem to gravitate toward him, whether it’s stumbling into a hidden trap, crossing paths with the wrong person, or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
While this flaw complicates his life and makes him an easy target for those wishing him harm, it comes with a strange silver lining: when Jonesy is investigating something and becomes aware of the stakes, his trouble-seeking nature can inadvertently guide him toward crucial clues or events. However, this benefit only manifests once he fully understands the situation, often putting him in harm’s way before he can make sense of it.
Ultimately, this flaw keeps Jonesy constantly on edge, knowing that trouble is never far behind, but it also gives him a unique edge in uncovering the truth—if he can survive the chaos it brings.
Mental enhancement; Jonesy possesses the extraordinary gift of Extrasensory Perception (ESP), a power that seems to defy the boundaries of conventional understanding. His mind acts as a finely tuned antenna, picking up thoughts, emotions, and even faint echoes of events from beyond the physical senses.
In moments of stillness, Jonesy can sense the unseen—a creeping presence, a shadow of intent, or the silent cries of distress from far away. This heightened awareness often manifests as vivid flashes of insight or mysterious visions that guide him toward answers others might overlook. While his abilities are most potent in close proximity, Jonesy’s ESP occasionally transcends distance, allowing him to tune into faint signals from miles away, as if his consciousness is tethered to the unseen threads of the universe.
Jonesy’s power often brings both clarity and burden. The whispers of a troubled mind or the residue of an ominous event can weigh heavily on his psyche. His dreams are often haunted by fragments of the unknown, blurring the line between his reality and the supernatural. Yet, it is his empathy and courage that allow him to wield this power for good, pushing through the noise of the intangible to uncover truths that others cannot perceive.
Whether he’s solving a mystery, sensing danger, or unearthing secrets long buried, Jonesy’s ESP imbues him with an enigmatic aura, making him a pivotal figure in a world where the unseen holds the greatest power.
Magic; Jonesy possesses a supernatural form of invisibility tied to Destiny's influence, allowing him to go unnoticed so long as he avoids drawing attention to himself. This ability isn’t a physical vanishing act but rather a metaphysical shroud that makes him appear unremarkable or forgettable to those around him.
However, this gift has limits: it only works when his actions align with Destiny’s intentions. Any overt or clumsy behavior that disrupts the flow of events will immediately break the effect, making him fully visible. When used wisely, this ability allows Jonesy to blend seamlessly into his surroundings and observe or act undetected.
Limitation: However, this gift has limits: it only works when his actions align with Destiny’s intentions. Any overt or clumsy behavior that disrupts the flow of events will immediately break the effect, making him fully visible. When used wisely, this ability allows Jonesy to blend seamlessly into his surroundings and observe or act undetected.
Travel; Jonesy has a subtle, supernatural ability to teleport, but it operates in a way that isn’t immediately noticeable to others. When he moves, he disappears from one location and reappears somewhere else, but only if he isn’t observed directly. The transition is seamless—he might turn a corner, walk behind a tree, or enter a building, and in the blink of an eye, he’s somewhere entirely different, often miles away.
He isn’t consciously aware that he’s teleporting; it feels as if he’s simply walking from one point to another, though the distance he covers is far greater than it seems. This makes his movements seem completely natural to others, though they may be confused by how quickly or suddenly he arrives at his destination.
Jonesy can take others with him, but the process is just as subtle. Those with him won’t realize they’ve traveled, leaving them unaware of the shift in location until they notice the change in their surroundings. The power’s true nature is a mystery even to Jonesy, but it proves useful when he needs to traverse distances quickly or escape tricky situations. However, the lack of control and awareness can sometimes lead to unexpected places or awkward situations when he inadvertently teleports without meaning to.
Limitation: THis ability may sometimes activeate on it's own; When traveling, it is possible for his path to be altered unknowingly by Destiny who may have need of him in a certain place at a certain time.
Finance; Jonesy's mother, Daphne Blake-Jones, established a trust fund that provides him with a monthly sum of $100,000. In addition, he is granted a permanent residence of his choosing and unrestricted access to all properties owned by the trust. This consistent monetary cushion offers him a significant level of stability and freedom, enabling him to pursue goals, secure assets, or handle unexpected expenses without financial strain. While the fund ensures he rarely lacks for basic needs or luxuries, it also shapes his perception of risk and opportunity, as he is accustomed to a safety net that few others enjoy. This access to substantial resources can open doors and create opportunities, but it may also attract the attention of those who seek to exploit his wealth.

Crime; Big Man has honed the art of escapology, enabling him to free himself from restraints such as ropes, handcuffs, or confined spaces. His agility, calm demeanor, and creative problem-solving allow him to assess his surroundings and use them to his advantage in tight situations.
While his experience leans more toward practical scenarios than performance, his skills are reliable in emergencies. However, particularly elaborate or high-tech restraints may still pose a challenge. The Big Man's skill can often ensure his escape where others might remain trapped.

His methodical approach helps him analyze situations thoroughly and draw meaningful connections from his findings. While his focus on small details can sometimes distract from the bigger picture, his keen observation often turns the smallest clue into a crucial breakthrough.
Occult; Jonesy possesses a deep fascination with the arcane and the mystical, stemming from countless hours spent in the shadowy aisles of the rare bookstore he calls home. His natural curiosity, paired with his minor psychic abilities, has made him a self-taught expert on occult lore. He has an uncanny knack for deciphering cryptic symbols, identifying obscure artifacts, and unraveling the histories of forgotten rituals and beliefs.
While not a practitioner of magic himself, Jonesy’s knowledge of the supernatural often provides critical insights into events or items that others might overlook. His understanding spans from ancient grimoires and forbidden texts to urban legends and esoteric philosophies. He can quote passages from books most have never heard of and spot connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena.
However, his expertise is not without its limits. Jonesy’s theoretical knowledge often outpaces his practical experience, and his interpretations can sometimes be clouded by his own insecurities or overactive imagination. Despite this, his passion for occult lore drives him to continuously seek out new knowledge, whether from dusty tomes or whispered rumors of the uncanny.
This obsession with the arcane makes him both a valuable ally and a potential liability, as his curiosity can lead him into dangerous territory—particularly with artifacts like the Diary of Destiny, whose full nature he barely understands.

His quick fingers and keen observation allow him to identify opportunities without drawing attention. He’s adept at blending into crowds and using subtle distractions to execute his moves seamlessly.
While he doesn’t often rely on this skill, Jonesy’s pickpocketing ability is useful in situations where he needs to discreetly obtain something or avoid confrontation. His expertise is more about finesse and timing than force, ensuring he can make a quick getaway without leaving a trace.
Mystic; Jonesy has a talent for prestidigitation, the art of performing small, seemingly magical feats with a touch of flair. Whether it's making a coin disappear, changing the color of an object, or creating harmless illusions, his quick hands and clever techniques allow him to create illusions that deceive the eye.
