Lady-Jade
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
Background
Jennifer Lincoln was born to father Jake former hockey prodigy who shattered his ankle in a drunk driving accident and mother Kristen Lincoln, who was in university to become a doctor and had to drop out to support the family. She was born an obvious mutant. She was born with green spots on her face and along her back and shoulders as well as being born with a small tuff of green hair. Her father, hating the fact that his child was a mutant was physically and emotionally abusive to Jennifer. The physical scars have healed but anyone close to her knows the emotional ones are not fully healed.
She was teased all through school for being different. That lead her to computers and the internet early. She was able to log onto a forum or chat room and use the internets anonymity to be just like every other normal person. No one needed to know she had green hair in a chat room and she liked it that way. She focused her studies in the computer and programming fields through school and would spend lunch hours and breaks in the computer labs of her high school. She started to pick up a few tricks from hacker chat rooms and made contacts in the community that would teach her and get her help with hacks.
She left home at the age of fifteen do to the abuse her father put her through. She was able to use her contacts and abilities to perform a few less then legal hacks to get her some cash from time to time. She'd also use this money to fund a day trading account and built up enough of a nest egg to send herself to university.
She never finished university however and ended up dropping out after two years. A combination of total boredom and still being treated like a freak lead her to walk out on school. She went back to hacking until she ran into problems with both Homeland Security and FBI. Her name is now on the black hat list for both of these agencies. She took what she knew and now works with companies as a white hat. Working with their security in an attempt to stop hackers from hacking into their servers. This is her day job.
By night she is a known hero, her identity is public however, it is hard to hide the green hair she figures. Her force fields and hair being green she went with the name Lady-Jade. As a hero she has made a few contacts. One of which is Johnathan Craine, local Founders Falls teacher who has been known to help mutants with control of their abilities with his armors. Jennifer's mutation was very unstable when she met John. However he has made her a set of armor that helped her get control of her powers. She has since upgraded to a new set of armor though the reason why hasn't been made public. But her mutation has been 'pushed' and has become less stable again. And for the first time since berth she has started showing signs of new physical mutations. More green spots have started to form on her body where formerly there were none, as well her ears now have a very slight and almost imperceptible point to them that only people that knew it wasn't there before would notice.
Johnathan and Jennifer started dating shortly after her armor was made. They got married October 9th of 2012.
Recently her father Jake passed away. Though the cause of his death was exceptionally odd as he died of full liver failure but was fine in the morning when her mother Kristen left for work. The PPD suspect foul play by someone with powers but have had no leads to follow since his death and the case remains open but with no leads is considered a cold case.
Powers
Jennifer's powers are linked to her mentally. Her ability to create, maintain and manipulate her force fields is all connected to a special part of her brain. If she is mentally compromised she is unable to do anything with her powers. The strength of the fields, or how many or how big she can create is all linked to her mind. All incoming damage dealt to the fields is felt by her. So the only limit to the damage a field can take or how strong she can make one is totally linked to her mental ability to hold the field while it takes damage. Recently she has been able to alter the fields in various and interesting ways. Examples have been air tight bubbles as well as altering the density of the fields to make them weigh more or less. As well as bending light around a field as to make what ever is behind it seem invisible.
Since her powers are linked to her mentally, Jennifer has tested this theory to it's limits by once having a powerful psychic act as her mental battery and power her fields in a combat situation. Something that she needed to use when her and a group of other supers almost had the upper floors of a concrete building dropped on them. It took everything Jennifer had, as well as pulling power from the psychic to hold the ceiling up so everyone could escape unhurt.
This trick worked however now Johnathan and Jennifer suspect this may have been the trigger that kicked her mutation into overdrive and has caused her to further mutate.
