Jinx is, well, a jinx. She has a semi-controllable ability to cause complex machinery to malfunction, or break entirely. She's had this ability all her life, but it multiplied in power when she reached puberty. The jinx caused her a bunch of personal problems that resulted in her leaving her home in Les Trois Rivieres, Quebec, and eventually hooking up with a criminal motorcycle gang. She was just one of the gang's "women," until she got mad at one of her boyfriends and threw him through a wall.

It was a thin wall, but he got the point. So did the rest of the gang.

Jinx stayed with her original gang for a few years as a full member. She maintained her unheard of position (female bikers are very rare) with a combination of her formidable HtH combat skills, and the aura of superstition surrounding her powers.

Eventually, she left the group, disillusioned with the gang lifestyle, and began wandering about the back roads of Canada, camping out and supporting herself by stealing from pay phones and change machines.

Appearance:

Jinx is a very tall, muscular woman in her early twenties. She has dark red hair, and very pale skin despite years on the road. She'd probably be more attractive if she smiled more.

Jinx wears a full-body black leather motorcycle outfit that she's armored with bits of chain mail and ceramic tiles (super-strong, lightweight ceramic is common in the campaign universe). There is a stylized blood splatter on the back of the outfit's jacket -- her former gang's colors. She keeps several metres of chain looped about her left arm and shoulder with a breakaway clip.

Jinx also wears a full-coverage, black motorcycle helmet and heavy gloves when riding or in combat, as well as the mandatory re-inforced leather boots.

Campaign notes:

My campaign has a bunch of odd house rules. I won't list them all here, but Jinx's 23 Dex and 5 SPD actually make her a good martial artist. Most characters are limited to 20/4, but the limit is increased by 1 point of Dex per 5 points in Martial arts, and 1 point of speed per 15 points in MA. To run her as a martial artist, you might want to adjust her stats and power levels.

The "Paranormal" disadvantage and the Hunted by "YES" are also part of my campaign, obviously.

If you want to use her, adjust anything as you see fit.

Powers:

Over the years, Jinx has developed better control over her abilities, and can now focus them on individual target, and even turn them off for a short time. Her powers are based on subconscious telekinesis and clairvoyance -- she "feels around" inside a device, finds out how it works, and disables it.

The first two slots in her multipower take advantage of the "breakable focus" rules. The Body drain affects all complex mechanical devices in a radius around her. Most foci will be completely useless if they take even 1 point of Body. Robots, etc, will take actual damage as well as damage to their foci, causing malfunctions (if you use that optional rule).

"Complex mechanical devices" I usually define as anything more complex than a revolver. Anything that could conceivably jam or break will be affected.

Jinx can use her NND killing attack to either permanently break a device, or to cause someone intense pain and internal damage. She doesn't like to do the latter, preferring to stick with her HtH skills when fighting people.

Her linked PK/clairvoyance slot is the result of years of training herself to control her powers. She can now levitate small objects, pick locks with her PK, etc.

The Suppress slot is for messing with high-tech powers that aren't bought as Foci. Armored suits that are "Only in Hero ID," cybertech, etc. The suppressed points don't affect the level of power in the device, they give it an activation roll. I posted a chart detailing how this works a few weeks ago.

The missile deflection is mostly telekinetic in SFX -- she just messes up your aim with a timely 3 STR jerk. It can also express itself as a temporary gun jam, depending on the circumstances.

Aside from her other powers, Jinx is a natural athlete, and accomplished HtH combatant. She learned to use chains as weapons from other members of the bike gang. They became her favorite attack once she figured out how to enhance her control with slight applications of TK. She can also achieve the same effects with whips, or weighted lengths of rope, or by imagining a telekinetic "whip" that she can add her MA damage to (It's only 4.5d6 -- What the hell :)
