Justice Jon
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
Justice Jon aka Mystic Detective is, for all intents and purposes, a Gary Stu, in that his personality and mannerisms are, in fact, his creator's. JJ has since grown and changed some from the original, but at his core, he is what the player sometimes wishes he could do. All other aspects were made to fit into the City of Heroes Mythos.

Overview
Magic is a dangerous thing to the uninitiated. To those without the knowledge and skill to wield it, those without the willpower to subdue and contain it, it can become pure chaos. Jon Landon has tasted this chaos first hand when accidentally absorbing powers it should have taken him years to learn. Since the first disorienting moments after learning more then his mind could comprehend at the time, he has strived to learn, grow and adapt as a mage. He's become adept at many mystical works through study and his innate ability to absorb mystical artifacts. With those powers he has become one of the many Heroes of Paragon.
Personality
Always the joker, the first thing out of Jon's mouth is a joke, a somewhat witty observation, or horrid innuendo. Around his friends and teammates he has a perpetual smile, grin or smirk, and is quick to laugh. He does, however, have a serious side, one that tends only to rise when the need permits, dispensing words of needed encouragement or wisdom that at times seems unreal coming from who is essentially the class clown of the group. A friend when you need one, a kick in the pants when you might need that too, he is rather optimistic about the future, as long as people are smiling.
Powers/Abilities
Though an accomplished Mage now, Jon's innate power is what allowed him to tap into mystical energy in the first place. Able to absorb any mystical artifact that comes in contact with his skin, he gains that object's power, knowledge and ability. Though currently he keeps a careful eye on anything he touches, a touch of recklessness early in his career allowed him to gain some dominion over the realm of ice. Combining that with the raw energy already stored within his body, Jon has gained quite a few tricks to add to his repertoire over time. One such trick is his ability to smell magical auras, making him a sort of bloodhound for mystical energies.
Weaknesses and Limitations
The ability to absorb comes with a price, however. The human body can only store so much extra energy before complications arise. Over time Jon has absorbed so much energy that it's effected his eyes, causing them to glow with power. This glow is more then simply ornamental, as without his specially made glasses, he can only see in shades of blue. Because of the constant energy in his body, he is unable to gain any real weight or body mass from his rather thin frame, making him physically weaker then his larger then life superhero counterparts.
Equipment
Jon makes sure to always have a pair of gloves handy, as he can't come into contact with many more mystical items before serious complications become apparent. His specially made glasses are also worn almost all times, as they allow him to see the full color spectrum, rather then just shades of blue. In his mystic detective gear, he keeps several paper wards of varying strengths, as well as the occasional focus crystal.
