About the character
``Name;; Jacques Darcy
``Nicknames;; Anything you can think of
``Age;; 18
``Gender;; Male
``Birthday;; September 28
``Grade;; Senior
``Heritage;; Part French, part English
``Orientation;; Bisexual
Appearance
``Eyes;; A lively, light blue.
`` Hair;; Brown, Jacques usually spikes it in the front; if not it falls down to cover his eyes completely.
``Height;; 1.80 meters (=5’11”)
``Weight;; 64 kg (=141 lbs)
``Body Type;; He’s a runner. Most of Jacques’ muscles are in his legs. His upper body strength is a tad under average, but he sees no problem with that. Jacques is built for speed, not strength.
``Skin Color;; A normal, olive tone. Throughout the months with less sun, Jacques retains a slight tan complexion. He soaks up sun easily, but knows his limits and when to start using sun cream.
``Tattoos/piercings/scars;; Left ear pierced. Has a paw tattoo on his right hip (that was the result of a dare).
``Dress style;; Jacques has his own sense of fashion. Any color, any style, he probably has some piece of clothing associated with it. Dare him to wear something and he’ll probably wear it without much shame.
``Overall;; It isn’t uncommon to find Jacques in a good mood. He’s a cheerful person and it shows. He has a radical sense of fashion, and if he really wants to wear something, he’ll wear it – whether or not it suits the weather. It’s hard to say whether or not he wants to dress ‘in style’ since he’s been known to wear clashing colors and harmonious colors without a care in the world. The one item that he will never do without are his dog-tags, one of which simply states his name, while the other reads “Single”.

``Personality;;
Happy-go-lucky: Jacques prefers not to care too much about the future and about every little choice that he might have to make one day. Just live life in the present and enjoy it to the fullest.
Playful: He’s always up for a game. He doesn’t mind winning or losing it – as long as the price he pays isn’t too high. Jacques doesn’t particularly like getting hurt, but he likes a little excitement every now and then. Hitting or being hit on, that’s fine too.
Loyal: Once you’re called a friend, Jacques is on your side… mostly. He likes messing with people too, so you’ll probably be subject to jokes – some sexual, others not.
Risk-taker: Jacques is as daring as they get. Got a dare? He’ll most likely do it. Trying new food? No problem. He’s willing to try everything at least once; just to know what it’s like if anything.
History
``Mom;; Andree, 45, housewife, generally gets along with Jacques.
``Dad;; Gabriel, 46, lawyer, has a decent relationship with Jacques.
``Sibling(s);; Xavier, 14, freshman, decent relationship with Jacques.
``Pet(s);; A black poodle named Bianca
``Other;; There was that owner in that awesome café… that was in England though.
``History;; Born in France, raised in London. Jacques’ mother tongue was French. Once Xavier was born, the Darcys moved to London, while Jacques was four. Since then, they lived there in a large apartment downtown, where he was put on a loose leash and allowed to go where he wished. His parents believed in learning through one’s own experience, so whatever he did, Jacques only had himself to blame.
He and Xavier weren’t so close. Jacques was limitless in his pursuits. He was already kissing girls at ten, guys at eleven, breaking hearts at twelve, drinking at thirteen and having sex at fourteen. Xavier was a lot more straight-laced but learned to give Jacques his space. His parents never minded – as long as he passed school, which Jacques barely managed to do.
Jacques was happy with his life, though he did learn the hard way not to get into relationships. After being dumped at fifteen, he finally learned not to get into relationships for fear of being hurt. He got into trouble here and there, but no one really minded for the most part. That was until his powers manifested.
He’d been out partying again, getting drunk, hooking up and all the usual. But this time it wasn’t usual. Jacques had been feeling a little off and felt the usual feeling that he was walking on air. Thing was that he almost literally was walking on air. He was floating a couple of inches above the ground, but wasn’t seeing straight. He, however, was one of the few that couldn’t. The majority could see straight and freaked out immediately and making a huge scene out of it. That was how Jacques’ parents found out about his powers. After tedious searching for somewhere for Jacques to learn about his own powers, they finally sent him to Stone Brook Academy.
``Powers/Abilities/Gifts;; Gravity Manipulation; Jacques is able to change the gravity of any particular object. Not only can he manipulate the gravity that the earth is exerting on something, he can also change the amount of gravity that the object itself has, making it seem like he can cast electromagnetic fields at will. Despite that, he usually uses this power to give himself – or others – the power of flight. He prefers not to use the power to its full potential – using it to immobilize or crush objects, though it is possible for him to. Since he hasn’t really practiced, it would simply take a lot of effort.
To use his power, Jacques has to have the object within a twenty meter radius. Every time he uses it, he has to give it a resting period. At the moment, he’s only able to change the gravity of any one object at any point in time. He wants to learn how to manipulate the gravity of multiple objects though, and is working on it.
``Role Play Sample;; “Uh huh,” The phone was wedged between his shoulder and his ear as he walked down the nearly silent hall. Jacques never understood how airports could be so quiet. It was unearthly and unnatural, the way everyone was dressed in almost the same way. His suitcase handle was in his hand, the wheels rolling quietly on the ground as he dragged it after him. It looked heavy and it was heavy, but in all honesty, Jacques wasn’t having too much trouble. He had, after all, made it seem lighter.
“Yeah, I got here fine. I have to find a taxicab,” he told the person on the other end of the phone, “no big deal. I’ll be fine,” he assured, British accent tinting all his words as he walked out the sliding doors to the outside world. “Yes, I’ll talk to you later. Bye, mum,” he said, quickly hanging up before his mother could talk anymore.
Blue eyes surveyed the surroundings, quickly catching sight of a taxicab and making his way towards it. Giving the driver a large grin, he gave the man an address before sliding into the leather interior.
