« « « ARROGANT » » »
Name: GW Age: 46 Contact: Timezone: CST Other Character(s): Clark Kent |
Name: Jo-Nah/Ultra-Boy Door: Door Pass Canon: DC Comics + CRAU Canon Point: Legion of Superheroes #82 Age: 20 Appearance: History: https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Jo_Nah_(Post-Zero_Hour) + Gloria Game: Jo was pulled from his time and place to Rome, but a Rome that had been put under a bottle, and was being controlled by a being called Glorith. She put those in the city, including Jo through hell, testing them, tormenting them, changing their bodies, and making them see and hear things that did not exist. Sometimes, they were given breaks, and even gifts, but most of the time, those turned out to be cursed, and took things form them, such as memories, of powers. While there, Jo forgot his parents entirely, but remembered the rest of his life and had his powers changed, and lessened in some ways. This all led him to be a little less trusting, and a little more paranoid of things and people. Personality: Jo is a very ARROGANT man. Though he sometimes tempers this with kindness and experience, he also tends to get into trouble via his arrogance at times. He used to charge into battle in both Work Force and in the Legion of Super-heroes and ignore plans others were making, assuming he could handle things himself. While he is generally not as out there today, the new situation, reminding him so much of his homeworld of Rimbor, a world ruled by vice and violence, will cause him to backslide some, and take on old habits and old sins. Jo is also very DISTRACTABLE, a trait that had not gotten better. He has a bad tendency to be distracted by things away from his original intent, whether being drawn into conversation ion a direction he did not mean to go, or allowing his favorite distraction to lead him into ignoring responsibilities and a mission he had assigned himself. This also translates into startleability or a kind of anxiety, where he can be caught off guard and startled, and caused to completely lose his thoughts or direction by some event. In the comics, it was usually an explosion, a strangely garbed person, or something like a new drink from his favorite distillery on Rimbor. Jo has a problem with being THOUGHTLESS, saying whatever is on his mind, without tact, restraint, or hesitation. Its not so much that he does not know that theoretically, his words could cause offense, but that because his head is filled wit so much, so often, he loses sight of thinking about how his words will affect people at the moment. He does regret this, occasionally, but that regret has not caused him to change his ways. He could be compared to Reed Richards, a much better-known character, in that Jo is smart, lost in his own head, and often too busy with his thoughts to think his words through. Jo also, despite these flaws, is known to be very HEROIC diving into any risk to save others without thinking, being willing to work to help others without fail. He has a tendency to combine some of his worst traits to make this one, actually. His thougfhtlessness and his arrogance both inform this action, for while he does, indeed, care about people and helping them, he also tends to dive in without thought, and without waiting for others, as I said earlier, who might have a plan, thinking he can handle it, or that he is the best for the job. He does hate slavery, and those who are abused, and will work to help those who are in a position where that might happen. In the current situation, this means he will likely try to work to subvert the system to an extent. Not always smartly or successfully. At the same time as this, he also grew up in a system that had lots of these things. And he managed to survive in it, which means depending on how things go, he may sink into the system, seeking to subvert it from the inside and quite possibly instead allowing it to subvert him instead. It will be a chance either way. He has an inborn hatred for those who act better than or smarter than him. And he tends to express it in swearing, ion lethal looks, and sometimes in violence. This has gotten him in trouble before for brawling and for hitting those who are much higher rank or more influential than him. As a skilled actor, he often feels like he is useless as a brain. This leads to him pretending with expert skill, to be stupid. This leads him to make silly decisions in order to maintain his faking. At what point are stupid decisions to maintain a stupid facade still just a facade? Still, his skils as an actor are rather intense, and he has outsmarted and outmaneuvered some of the major villains of his time, and of other times as well. And even helped with the plan that defeated one of the greatest villains of all time. When not jumping in without thought, Jo can get drawn into puzzles that grab his attention, and that draws him out of himself. Once he wandered into a pizzle turnament and didn't come out for over a week. And sometimes, he gets pulled into random situations where things are bad, or bad for him, anyway. Such as when he was bored and got into the plight of the space whales such as the one that gave him his powers. This action led to him nearly dying several times, and to the destruction of a small satellite. In a way, again, gus thoughtlessness and his impuilsiveness lead him into trouble. Powers and Abilities: Ultra Abilities: Jo possesses the ability to switch between the following abilities and possesses only one at a time. Ultra-strength - He has strong enough to lift/press/throw up to two tons. Ultra-speed - He can move at approximately Mach 2, enabling him to move across the area of the city at high speed. Ultra-flight - He can fly into the air and freely move through it as if walking or swimming. Within the city he will not be able to leave it's immediate environs until or unless allowed by events or mods. Ultra-invulnerability - He is nearly impervious to all harm, but very powerful explosions, lasers, or magic can still harm him. Ultra-vision - He has several different vision powers. He can use Penetra-vision, which allows him to see through anything but lead, steel thicker than one foot thick, and force fields. He has flash-vision is strong enough to melt anything below the same levels of material. He also can see across the city as if he was close up to the other side. While in Glorith's Rome (Gloria Game), he saw his invulnerability and strength lessened, and also gained the following powers. Ultra-Taste - While using this power, he can make himself taste like anything he has ever tasted. Ultra-Senses - while using this power, he can make it so he can hear and see, taste and smell, and feel, much more intenselty than most,l like a bloodhound level for sound and equivalent in the other senses. Inventory: Legion Ring, holographic picture cube of him and Tinya, trans-suit(a suit that allows passage in space and hostile environments safely.)
