Appearance: Jolt has thick, wavy, shoulder-length red hair and dark hazel eyes. She has a birthmark in the shape of a lightening bolt, on her right eye.

Personality: Jolt is very vindictive, mischievous and hateful towards anyone who isn't a mutant. She does not believe in the peaceful co-existance of people on this planet and usually stirs up trouble and starts fights between different races (and between humans and mutants). She is loyal to no one but herself gets no end of joy out of cutting out the power of entire cities in the middle of winter just for fun. She is very manipulative and can charm people into doing just about anything she wants them to do.

OTHER INFORMATION

Powers: Jolt has the power to manipulate electricity and draw from the electrical components of sources and shoot bolts of electricity from her fingers. When she is using this power, she gives off a bright yellow aura around her body.

Limitations: If she draws too much electical power from a source, she can short-circuit herself, rendering herself unconscious for a period of time.

Skills: Jolt is very agile and can leap onto walls up to 8 ft high. She knows a bit of gymnastics, but lacks formal training and is therefore not very good at it.

Weapons: Her main weapon is her mutant powers, but she also has a staff (think the wizards from LOTR) which she can channel electricity into and shoot the electrical beams from.


HISTORY

Jolt was born in British Columbia, Canada in 1971. She was found on the front steps of a church when she was only a few hours old, with a note that explained that her parents didn't feel they could raise a "demon child" as they considered her (because of her birthmark). The church officials took her to an orphanage, where she lived until she was sixteen. She was forced to leave the orphanage then due to a mysterious old woman visiting when the girl was thirteen. The people who ran the orphanage noticed that following the visit, the young girl's aging process all but stopped. By the time she was sixteen, she still only looked thirteen, and it was rumored that she had been placed under some kind of anti-aging spell by the old woman, who was never seen or heard from again. So Jolt was forced to leave the orphanage to fend for herself as a mutant in a world that was very against mutants.

The outside world did not treat Jolt very well at all and it didn't take very long for her to decide she hated it. She had tried to be a nice member of society and when that failed, she gave in to her dark side. She left Canada in 1990 and has been in the United States ever since, sticking mainly to the west coast but occasionally going east when things get boring. She hates being bored, and has taken to blacking out entire cities for the fun of watching everyone panic. She has never been caught in her mischief-making and vindictive ways, and hence does not have a criminal record following her around. She looks ten years younger than she actually is and often uses her innocent look to her advantage as well. Her goal at the moment, aside from causing chaos in the world, is to find the old woman who slowed down her aging process and perhaps study magic under the woman.
