Jericho Stone was an orphan having run from the foster care system. After living on the streets of Paragon City (not his birthplace) for several years, he interrupted a Circle of Thorns ceremony by accident. The Thorns did not take it well and chased Jericho unrelentingly for several months until he found shelter at Maggie's Rock.
Jericho Stone is a Dark Melee/Super Reflexes/Dark Mastery scrapper played by @xen10k.

Personality
Jericho is a survivor. This instinct has carried him through many events that should have killed him. He is also extremely loyal. He will never give up on the people he cares about. Jericho's sense of humor tends to be strange, and his idea of fun is "Look, a Gunslinger and a Protector! I bet I can tag both of them!"
Powers
After accidentally interrupting a Circle of Thorns ritual, Jericho gained a third eye that gives him precognitive sight, and was first able to access his repressed magical ability.
Precognition
Normal Precognition
Jericho sees things will affect him directly about three seconds before they happen. In most cases this allows him to dodge attacks, but it also lets him see ones that will hit and that he can not avoid.
Extended Precognition
Jericho describes his view of the future as watching thousands of satellite TVs at once, with each set to a different station. The clarity of each possibility varies depending upon its likelihood. Something that will probably not happen will be faint, and something that is almost certain will be vivid. Possibilities that would lead to his death end in black walls.
He can skim these possibilities to look for specific ones. For example, he can speed up the search for a lost item by scanning the possibilities of places he might look for the one in which he finds it. This can not, however, be used to see events that will not affect him. He can sometimes guess what might happen to someone else by seeing what would happen to him in the same situation, but this is guesswork at best.
Other Forms
These are the only known methods by which Jericho can see possibilities that do not affect him.
- Visions: Visions are usually under a minute in length, and for their duration Jericho appears to stare at nothing. The clarity of these varies greatly. Sometimes they are clear pictures of future events, and sometimes they are nothing more than isolated images. Though their meaning is not always apparent, they usually carry an emotional effect. This ensures that visions foretelling something dangerous will be interpreted as such.
- Shared Precognition: This application is rare. Jericho is capable of showing another person futures as he sees them by touching heads, and having a connection to them. This does not have to be voluntary on the other person's part, but if they break contact the shared precognition will end. It seems that the other person will usually determine the possibilities seen, whether consciously or not, but Jericho can guide the sight to an extent.
- Dreams: Usually Jericho sets up mental wards before sleeping that suppress his sight. If he forgets, however, his dreams are extended visions.
Dark Magic
Jericho has innate magical ability, but it is mostly limited to dark magic. He usually keeps this at close range so that it can't get out of control, but he will sometimes cast it from a distance. Its most common effects are damage and crippling fear. It can also be used to make dark tentacles that ensnare opponents, or to heal Jericho by taking a small piece of an opponent's life force. Jericho once used its healing in reverse by giving a bit of his life force to his wife Amelia Stone, but it was an extremely painful experience and it is doubtful that he will ever do it again.
Abilities
Strength
Jericho is naturally strong. The upper limits to this are not clear, but it is unlikely that he will use the full extent of his strength in combat.
Crystal Singing
Jericho can hear crystal song and use it to shape crystals both for aesthetics and for magical purposes. This allows him to simulate magic that he would otherwise be unable to do. This shows up most commonly in jewelry, such as his mothers' wedding rings and Amelia's bracelet.
Other Magic
- Flight: Jericho uses a spell to fly.
- Wards: He has demonstrated an aptitude for wards ranging from small alarms to physical barriers and the mental wards that suppress his sight.
Weaknesses and Limitations
The most obvious limitation to Jericho’s ability to dodge incoming attacks is that he must be able to move out of an attack’s path within three seconds. For example, he will almost always dodge a snowball, but a bucketful of water is much harder since it affects a much larger area. Similarly, he will dodge one bullet easily, but if several are coming from different directions he is more likely to be hit.
