Joffrey Clements also known as Joffrey Jeremiah-Scott Babbage-Clements (real birth name) and THE AMPLIFIER to some Appearance:
young male caucasian adult, with long greasy black hair. skinny, but also muscular. frequently wears cheap jeans or cargo shorts and similarly cheap t-shirts. Sometimes a bright orange sweatshirt when it's cold, and some skater shoes that are several years old, despite never ever skating. Heterochromatic- left eye hazel, right eye green. about 5'11".
Abilities:
- Joff has, naturally, superhuman speed, for some reason. he can run at up to sixty miles per hour on good day, and his reflexes are also incredibly good.
- He has superhuman strength, as well, but there's a catch- his bone durability is average. So, he couldn't pick up something like a car without horribly destroying his arms (though he has the ability). However, this is useful for basically everything else that super strength would do, like super-pushing or super-punching.
- His most unique skill, resulting from the above abilities, is weaponizing any object, no matter how mundane. He has used books, fruit, stuffed animals, fans and Legos just as effectively as an average fighter would a sword. on that topic, he has actually developed into a very skilled fencer due to the use of his wiffle bats (see below)
Equipment:
a worn school bookbag is what he carries all his earthly possessions in. They are:
- several wiffle ball bats: this is his favorite weapon. Joff has become so adept at using these, that he can defeat an experienced duelist using them, despite the bats getting cut to pieces in the process. His abnormal strength and speed allow him to hit people with terrifying ferocity, at the level of causing unconsciousness or even broken bones on one hit. Of course, they break quickly when used in this manner, but he can use their shard and fragments almost as effectively as the whole of the item. still, he always brings more than one to each battle.
- A high-quality, top-of-the-line regulation Frisbee: used as a very good throwing weapon, and also for fun.
- Comprehensive road and terrain maps of various countries: because, well, maps are useful.
- some money: just for the practicalities of living, and some of the loose change can be useful in combat too.
- A small stuffed turtle: awwwww..
History:
Joffrey Jeremiah-Scott Babbage-Clements is but a man: but an exceptional one. In many ways.
He's been through very strange times. His family went between England and Scotland during his very young childhood, for really sketchy gang-related reasons, and when he was 14, they just gave up and moved to Louisiana, and he himself ran away at 19. Thus his speech is normally fine, but sometimes he lapses into english, scottish, and/or swamp dialect(s).
His family was very strange - he was an only child, his mother was schizophrenic, and his father was a radical libertarian who made his living playing jazz guitar and dealing acid. They had a bit of a Laissez-Faire approach to parenting, so combine these factors and Joff ended up with a very skewed sense of what's normal, socially acceptable and what makes sense. He was also slightly manic.
Joff was left mostly to his own devices when it came to his activities, and he spent a lot of time out either in the woods or on the streets. He enjoyed pugilism, athletics and inventive ways to destroy objects. He soon discovered that he had innate abilities of superhuman speed and muscle strength, with these skills figured out how to use basically anything as an effective weapon.
Upon relocating to America in his teenage years, Joff had an incident with the wrong crowd one night, in which he got in a fight with a few armed gangsters, and ruthlessly beat them all using only a wiffle ball bat. He was set upon by about a dozen more gangsters, and in a sudden moment of sanity, he fled, hopping onto a passing train. From this point on, he became a Wandering Warrior, trying to satisfy his mania and to entertain himself.
