In-Character

Detective (Second Grade) John Jackson is an employee of the New York City Police Department. He specialises in crimes committed by suspected mutants, particularly those where the abilities of the perpetrator make them difficult to capture, detain, or in some cases identify in the first place. However, as a secret mutant himself, he also tries to prevent any mistreatment of mutants by the legal system, and to ensure that the protection of the law extends to include even those who are genetically "abnormal".

History

John lost his mother at a young age in a car accident; so young in fact that he has no memories of her. Until he was six he lived with his Police Officer father, but after he was killed in a shooting, he was adopted by "Uncle Jack", his father's partner. Orphaned by the Police, the department became his surrogate family: John spent a lot of time around the station waiting for Uncle Jack to finish his shift and take him home. No surprise then that he chose to join the NYPD himself.

John's powers were late-onset, manifesting during his twenties. A "hunch" based on one of the emotional imprints he detected led to the arrest and conviction of a homicide suspect. When the experience recurred, he considered coming forward and revealing his abilities, but was convinced by an aged and retired Uncle Jack that he could do more good if he kept his powers secret and used them to help people. Shortly after, he took and passed his Detective's exam.

Detective Jackson has taken a special interest in crimes that involve mutants, like himself. He believes that undue prejudice is applied by the Police Department towards mutants in general simply because of the actions of a few, and has made it his mission to see that the dangerous mutants are put behind bars while the innocent ones are afforded the same protection that "normal" people recieve by default.

With former Philidelphia PD parner Dwayne Stiles, Jackson managed to get himself involved in the investigation of a number of crimes involving suspected mutants. Unfortunately, matters were initially complicated by Dwayne's attitude to mutants, and Jackson's resulting reluctance to reveal his abilities. (Sedimentary, My Dear Watson, Neither Fire nor Wind)

Jackson was also involved in the investigation of the bombing at Empire State University, and met mutant Michael Stern for the first time. (Paying Respect to the Past, Looking to the Future)

Powers

Psychometry - By making physical contact with an object, John is able to obtain information psychically about the owner. This information comes in the form of flashed images - memories - which are a psychic imprint left on the object during events of intense emotional resonance. Instances of his power manifesting are seemingly random, and he cannot control when a flash will occur. This can cause to all kinds of complexities, as negative emotions can leave imprints as easily as positive ones: being forced to relive flashes of the experiences at a crime scene can be beneficial to his work, but can also be distracting, and even traumatic at times.


Out Of Character

Jace has been around on the site since January 2007. He knows all the things, including board lore, random trivia, and really really terrible jokes and puns.
