APPEARANCE:

 

Jean is a natural beauty, with her long red hair, rich green eyes and flawless fair skin. While many girls primp and color themselves to achieve a desired level of attraction, the look comes easily to Jean. Light make up and simple hair are common for the teenager and yet she always manages to look stunning.

Jean is of average height and maintains the physic of someone who works out regularly. She finds exercise to be a peaceful activity that helps her focus. But Jean realizes that all her hard work has paid off and she enjoys showing off her legs when appropriate.

Jean isn’t particularly aware of high fashion and trend setting clothes. Her style is genuinely simple, sweet and flattering and her wardrobe consists of pieces that the typical teenager would find at the mall. The only time that Jean manages to conform to the chic and sexy attire of today’s fashion is on special occasions and at those times, she’s an absolute knockout.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

ADVANTAGES:

 

360º PERCEPTION - This gift allows Jean to "see with the heart", allowing her to avoid over-reliance on her eyes for seeing her environment. Her Telepathy senses people in the area, and she can also then see through their eyes.

CHARISMATIC - Jean just seems to have that special magnetic charm or appeal about her. There is something about Jean that people just can't seem to resist. She seems to have a personal attractiveness or interestingness that enables her to influence others in a positive manner. Jean also has a habit of turning heads where ever she goes. She's just damn attractive.

CON-GOER - Jean can push herself to her limits as she tries to reach new heights, or sustain using it for prolonged periods of time.

EIDETIC MEMORY - Jean possesses the uncanny ability to recall images, sounds, or objects in memory with great accuracy and in seemingly abundant volume. One of the most useful advantages of this ability is sometimes she is able to remember her dreams with exact detail.

PRESENCE - When Jean is present, EVERYONE knows it. Someone like Jean, with her long red hair and flawless features, has a difficult time simply blending in most of the time. And when Jean’s actions tap into her more passionate side she becomes even more difficult to ignore.

POWERS:

 

TELEPATHY – Jean can communicate on a direct mind-to-mind basis with other intelligent beings. Her telepathy is automatic with willing minds or those with a willpower less than her own. Her telepathic abilities allow her to sense, broadcast and detect thought patterns, alter the physical or mental perceptions of others, and manipulate the functions of the human body. She has command over the following telepathic abilities:

Mind Link - Ability to develop a mental link with any person which remains as a connection to that individual.

Psionic Blasts - She can project psionic force bolts - or mental bolts - which have no physical effects, but which can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness.

Astral Projection - She can project her astral form from her body onto astral plane. In the physical plane she can travel in astral form over vast distances, though her body is left behind and vulnerable. In the astral plane, she can mentally create psionic objects and manipulate the aspects of her environment. She can communicate with others astrally through her own will, or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others.

TELEKINESIS – Jean can levitate herself (telekinetic flight) or other objects, propel or manipulate them however she wishes, and generate concussive force or protective shields of psionic energy. Initially, Jean could only move objects that she could lift with her hands, but she has since gained much more skill and is able to move anything she puts her mind to (as long as it's less than 10 tons) - the more mass in the object, the more difficult it is, and the more effort and focus is required.

FIGHTING SKILLS:

 

ASSESSMENT - Jean can tell the difficulty of many tasks and judge the abilities of others. She has the potential to learn the difficulty of a task or one ability or intensity score about an individual, thanks to her Telepathy.

ATHLETICS - Jean is well trained in kickboxing and advanced self defense. She also has the stamina and endurance of someone who runs regularly.

BLUFF - Jean has picked up the art of the bluff: lying, straight faced. Usually Jean's bluffs are something along the lines of telling a little white lie to spare someone's feelings. Jean will lie about other things, in order to save face, if need be. But Jean is terribly honest and will only lie if absolutely necessary.

OBSERVATION - The general ability to tell when something is interesting or out of place. Jean is quite aware of what is going on around her, thanks in part to her telepathy.

PILOTING - Jean has been trained and is skilled in piloting the Blackbird.

DISADVANTAGES:

 

MORTAL - When it comes down to the nitty-gritty, Jean is only human, and her body is as susceptible to pain, injury and disease as that of the next person.

UNCONTROLLABLE POWER - During times of extreme stress, Jean's Telekinetic powers have been known to go wild, striking things and people at random (or simply lifting up off the ground and smashing back down again).

THANATOPHOBIA – A fear of death. Due to Jean’s experiences as a little girl with death and the almost fatal coma she was placed in, the teenager has a fear of dying, not just for herself but for others. Because of this, she sometimes hesitates to use her more aggressive powers, such as psionic blast, for fear of killing someone.

HISTORY

Jean Grey is the youngest daughter of Professor John Grey – a professor in the History Department of Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, and his homemaker wife, Elaine. Jean was a normal girl with a normal upper middle class family and a normal, happy life – until her mutant powers manifested.

Her telepathy manifested quite early, when Jean was only ten years old. She and her best friend, Annie Richardson, had been playing outside, probably a little too close to the street, and Annie had been hit by a car and mortally wounded. Jean watched in stunned fear as her friend’s body went limp and flew several feet before landing on the shoulder of the road. Jean rushed to Annie’s side and took her in her arms, sobbing and terrified.

The emotions that Jean felt as she held her dying friend awakened her own latent telepathic powers, which then caused her to experience Annie's own frantic emotions as she died in Jean’s arms. Jean had felt Annie die.

This traumatic event left Jean in a withdrawn and deeply depressed state. She suffered dramatic weight loss and insomnia while she attempted recover from the traumatic event of Annie's death. Moreover, Jean discovered that she could not control her newly awakened telepathic abilities. She didn’t know that she was a mutant, let alone what a mutant was, and she thought she was loosing her mind. Wherever she went, Jean heard voices… It was as if the thoughts of those around whispered – and sometime yelled – directly into Jean’s own mind, and she couldn’t shut them up. She ended up having to isolate herself from other people to keep a hold of her sanity.

Jean’s inability to control her telepathy nearly drove her insane, combined with the misdiagnosis of schizophrenia, she started to believe she was truly nuts. Jean was then pulled from public school and placed on a strict regiment of medication and therapy. The medications used to curb her false diagnosis of schizophrenia stunted the development of her secondary mutation: telekinesis; though Jean was not aware of this, or of her mutancy.

Several years ago, Professor Charles Xavier discovered Jean and wanted to help her. With her parents’ permission, he offered her a way out of the haze and isolation of her 'illness' – a place among his X-Men – along with a chance to learn to control her powers and a shot at a ‘normal’ life. Jean felt hope for the first time in a long time, and she left the mental institution with Professor Xavier that very afternoon, excited at the opportunities he offered.

Jean did learn control over her telepathy under the tutelage of Professor Xavier, and in doing so, she also unlocked her secondary psionic ability – telekinesis: to levitate and manipulate objects through psionic force. Jean was initially only able to move objects with her mind that she would normally move by hand, but Professor Xavier trained her to better use and refine this ability.

During a Danger Room training session shortly after her graduation, Jean suffered an injury – a blow to the head – which seemed to have triggered a power surge within her mind and left her in a coma. Xavier could likely have brought her out of this coma, but he was afraid that doing so could further injure her, and he felt she would come out of it naturally, in her own time.

Jean awoke from the coma after several months of hospice care. But recovery was slow and it took her time to become the functional and powerful mutant she was before.

Currently Jean is attempting to balance her personal life and her responsibilities as a senior X-Men all while rediscovering herself. She hopes to move past the traumatic incidents of her life. Recently Jean has taken an interest in medicine and is interested in pursuing a bachelor's degree in pre-medicine.
