The masks we all wear - PERSONALITY
Jean is probably the most optimistic person you'll meet in your life, his free way of speech with a with that special cheerful Irish accent. Sometimes it's stronger sometimes barely noticeable, but it's there for sure. Jean has the ability to find a silver line in the most darkest hour. Surrounded by enemies with no chance for escape, or trapped by an Arch-villain under torture. Sometimes it seems that there is hardly a thing that could break this man's spirit. Fame, glory, honours, it all sticks to him like glue, because Jean will do nearly everything to be in the centre of the spotlight. Still we all know that a human is more complex that what we see on the outside. Silver is no exception, having more then one layer on his personality. Deep behind the wide, smile cheerful accent hides a man that is uncertain of his role as a hero. Being hit deeply by the fact that his methods are not accepted by everyone. His faith in Paragon shaken greatly, when King's Row was the neighbour hood left out for the rampaging skulls without additional police unites dispatched. Can't forget about rage, that is burning deeply inside him. Every time he is frustrated, angry, some asshole in the neighborhood gives himself away as a volenture to get his bones broken, or just end up dead. Yet in everyday life Jean is trying to be a better man. Teaching for a lower pay, and working with woman groups in the self defense program. After the skulls came nobody and nothing was the same in King's Row.
ORGINE AND LIFE
Fairy tale - ORGINE
Jean was born from a French father who is a member of Pauls one of the noble families and an Irish mother which was a servant in the house. Sure you can say that fairy tales don't happen, but this time it was different. Still it was not like that one in movies. First glance, first sight and the love just bursts our with the power of a thousand volcanoes. Now it was a slow, and long processes, he was one of those up-tight assholes, she was a very simple and strong woman. Never the last on a stormy night in the barn they were more then just equal. From that day on it just rolled down-hill. As easy as a cranky Leprechaun gets caught under a pub. Jean was born on a blizzard third of November 1984, and from that day on his mother knew that he wasn't going to be like most other kids. Certainly not. The sparks in his eyes spoke for themselves.
The Irish Coasts - GROWING UP
Jean never had it easy in France, this is why his parents decided to move to a little place under Dublin where they could life in peace without curious glance and sarcastic comments. Especially that Rosemary was once again expecting children. The little place was a farm and it was everything young Paul ever dreamed about. hiding places. trees, and a lot of fellows to run around with. he quickly caught up with the local, accent and slang. Fitting is as perfect as a native. His mother always told him that his home is where his heart is. The green grass, fresh air, and pub atmosphere was everything that young Jean needed to live. This was where his home was spouse to be. Forever he thought. Finished the school there, head his first fights there, started training there, and above all else first loves came and go around the green hills of Ireland. Now those were the days he could go back to. Yet everything that is good ends one day...and when Cassidy reached the age of fourteen everything changed.
There are heroes in this world - YOUNG ADULTHOOD
For once this was the greatest tragedy in the young man's life or at least so he thought when they were leaving the green coasts by plane, letting the far under his mothers family occupation. Cried he did, fought he did, and also Ain't he not rebel against it all? Sure he did. Yet it gave nothing. King's Row was his new home. Up then the Row was one of the brightest places in Paragon, save, clean, and above all else full of work. The school was also a good place, although as a troublemaker Jean ended up at the principles office more times then his parents would like it to. Mostly because someone called him a *Chick* or said his names are feminen. What worse hit could his pride get then that? At school they called him *Bone breaker* in the street with his friends he went as *Cassy*, with both of them he was happy. In the city of Heroes the life was amazing, and not one time the boy just wondered how it is when you save someone's life, when you go masked out on the street and do something good. With all those fantasies he created Silver Avenger a vigilante hero that was fighting for his home, protecting it from the evil that came. For young Paul the evil beings came from Mars, but a childes imagination knows no bonds doesn't it? The evil came. but different then he expected it. The skulls patrols were moving through the alleys mugging and solving their problems with violence and brutality. One day it just happened. Jean pulled on a old woolly covered in silver spray, picked up a baseball bat and just went out to the street. The first approach ended badly for him. The few guys were chased of from the poor chum they were attacking but, Cassidy had his jaw broke, his ribs trashed, and and his legs nearly immobile. Yet everything that he could think at that one moment, everything that he could feel was *I didn't fail. I didn't fail. I didn't fail.* Next three months he spent in the hospitals. Operated a few times. His parents doing everything to help him. None of them even knew what really happened. Through all those weeks the only thing the young man could think about was, that he joined Paragon as a hero now, and that King's Row was his kingdom now. His place. He owned it, and he was more then sure to show anyone that it's his no matter what would the cost be.
'A new hero is born - PRE-SUIT HEROIC DAYS'
So Jean grew up training his skills, and fighting on. He understood that still a lot of work will be needed if he'll really want to fight. So in breaks between school, studies, and other activities, he went to the boxing club, the gym, acrobatic classes. Plus he watched a lot of kung-fu movies. Then Thai schools, and frankly fought everyone he could take something from, learn something, copy something, repeating it later thousands of times to memorize it. The careerer as a hero started after he has finished English literature, and became a teacher in King's Row high. It was a troubling school, with troubled young people not to say that drugs, and alcohol was spreading through King's Row like crazy. Still the worse menace came later with the skulls. The gang quickly lured some of the school troublemakers into their ranks, what made them feel even stronger. Above the law. Above everyone and everything. When Jean saw what was happening, the full scale hero idea came back to life. Silver Avenger came back to life because someone had to be there to give away some punishment. Besides King's Row was his place. He just had to prove it.
In just a year Jean killed, crippled or chased away more skulls then he could possibly count. Yet it was still to little, in the meantime his family went back to Ireland. Yet Jean couldn't go. King's Row was now his home, and although he would miss everything that went away. Especially his little sisters. This place needed him more then any other on the planet. Silver Avenger has moved his work off into the city of Paragon, and Street Fighter as the Skulls used to call Jean. Was still working in King's Row. Although it needed a lot of effort from him...when he thought he couldn't go one help came. Help which was more or less unexpected. At least in such a weird form.
A night in the town - PRESENT DAYS
The TV was playing some old classic rock ballads, as the young blonde man moved around his brown and red kitchen made out of solid yet rather cheap wood. You might say that it was a perfect imitation of *Elegance*, nearly a *perfect crime* as some Art critics could call it. He was humming the to the tunes of *Nothing else matters* as the words flew through the room. The perfect supper consisting scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and green peeper was nearly ready. Just as he was about to sit, the knocking on the doors broke the rooms harmonic atmosphere. His green eyes indistinctly went to the clock on the wall. Midnight was not a good hour for a visit. He got up and walked to the doors peering through the hole. Nobody in front of the doors, yet he felt the urge to open them. With a sweaty hand he pulled on the knob, and saw what drew his attention so much. A suit. Leather with buckles and straps laid on the doorstep. A bikers suit maybe? At least that was what was the first thought in his mind. Slowly like his hands could hurt it, he picked it up watching it closely* Man am I lucky huh?*Words came out with a strong Irish accent, as he went back into the apartment. Nearly instantly pulled the outfit on completely forgetting his evening meal. When the last part was fitted, a break of sheer force went through his body. He could feel it, he could nearly touch it. All human bonds braking, limits were nothing. He felt...felt like a real hunter, and on the night like that. When the moon was high in the sky. On a night like that, a perfect night.A hunter will always find his pray.
From that day on many things have happened, but it doesn't matter if he's fighting for fame, for glory, for money, or for Kings Row. Yet he still corrects himself. For now he kept the killing to minimum after his sisters said it's not proffesional. He's trying is best and now more then ever he is sure that being a hero is what he wants to do.
Never ending bundles of love - Parents and Family
Saman Pierr Paul
His father a part of the Nobel Pauls family which fancies itself the richest in France. They control most of the mechanical industry not to mention productions of their own brand racer bike parts. Saman was always said to be the best of the family members, had the mind for business, and his advertising tactics were always on the spot. The only thing he missed was freedom and when he got to know Rosemary. Everything seemed to change. Especially that the night in the barn was not just another hunting. Saman is a well built older man with a taste for life. Standing at 6 feet he fancies himself as one of the tallest in his family. Stuck up and jerkish around strangers his a nice fellow when you get to know him a little bit more. Loves his family above job or live.
Rosemary Maria Paul
A daughter from a good farming family that wanted to see the world and instead ended up married to a high French noble. Not that she minded. Not one bit. Rosemary is a rather short very thin woman that is never getting old. Remember that if you ever approache her. She is still 21, very sensitive about the age subject. The most green emerald eyes you've ever seen mixed up with fiery russet hair and freckles all around her nose, makes her look quite young even these days. Loves to wear herself in green and violet.
Elizabeth and Mary Paul
Two sisters that Jean calls *Little never-ending bundles of everlasting love and joy"Which more or less gives away all the feelings he has for the children. You want to know more? Ask. You'll get more then you want.
Ready to kick some ass?- POWERS
Martial Arts
This is frankly the greatest weapon that Jean possesses in his arsenal. A variety of kicks, punches and throws which the hero picked up along the way. The combined martial arts that Jean really knows have something from everything he could, see, remember and then mimic. Self taught and self combined gave a unusual combination. Silver not once said that he can kill a man dancing balet. How much truth is in that, nobody knows. The *Shyrouken* as he calls it after the street fighters favorite hit, is influenced by Ken Masters street fighter techniques, Myua Thai, Judo, Karate, Boxing and a few acrobatic maneuvers. All combined in t a swift, and very intuitionist set of moves. Want to learn more? Ask Jean.
Fitness
It of course might sound weird as a power, but even without the suit Jean is probably as fit as an animal.Running miles every day without stopping, hundredths of push ups and days at the gym made him into a fighting machine which he is today. Of course the young man knows one day it might all go away so he tries with all his might to pre-long the time of his top shape.In the suit the already high psychical attributes skyrocket over the human limits. Silver Avenger can lift up to 500 kg, jump over even the highest security wall with one stronger push from the ground, and run as fast as a speeding Gepard. All that makes him an opponent that one should consider at least dangerous.
Lightning speed
Although Jean himself can spring into sprinting speed pretty fast he is no match for Silvers Avengers lightning speed rushes. Although for short whiles, the suit allows him to burst into the kind of speed where he is just a passing wind to an average person. Those bursts of speed cost Silver a lot of energy but sometimes someone is just right above the *angel distance*, and a hero always shows in the most appropriate moment. Silver uses bursts of speed as a part of his shows while fighting crime in the street.
Regeneration
This is the power which Silver Avenger and Jean adores the most from their rather short set.Nearly instant healing aids him everywhere. Falling from the building? Not a problem. Being run over a truck? Could be worse. Squished by a giant octopus? Now that's a pain. I mean have you ever taken a plasma shot in between your legs? Hurts like a bitch that is what I'll tell you, or maybe someone shoot your arms off with a MA-Repulsive rifle? Yes that also hurts. Sliver Avenger can regenerate most every wound, including growing limbs back. Jean calls the power*Grow my ass back* in truth it had to grow back many other parts of the hero also. Being a show off and a entertainer not always pays well even if still fighting without arms looks good in the media.
Body Mastery
Lately thanks to a lot of training and gaining more control over the suit Jean has gained the ability to focus on the target a lot more. Not yet fully in control of the suit, he awaits what other surprises this change can bring in the future.
Heightened senses
Jean is a human quite witty and aware of his surrounding. Thanks to the suit both in the civilian for as in hero form his senses have been boosted to a nearly animal level. Some more then others, and as it can be a weakness of a sort in many situations, not once not twice they saved the hero from losing another limb. If he starts sniffing around you it means one of two things. You smell nice or he feels danger.
The things we love and hate - LIKES AND DISLIKES
Likes
You can say a lot of things about Jean but certainly not that he can't enjoy life. Always taught that life is to short to look back, the young hero pushes forward doesn't matter what happens on his way. He enjoys gambling especially any time of bet. Fancies himself that he never lost one. So maybe just one day you might try this one out. Dice and cards and also speed racing are his main interests although. So, if you ever wanted a poker hero night. His the one to bother about it. Other things he enjoys? Sweets. He could eat them in any amount and thanks to the hyper speed the calories are quickly burned away. No weight gained. Games of all kind. Especially the ones concentrated around fighting. Street Fighters are his main interest in this subject. Even though Jean might not look like a guy of that kind, he enjoys a good conversation about any book he has went through in his life, but there is a special place for *Little prince* and *Alice in wonderland* in his heart. Also anything connected with occult and C myths is greatly welcomed. Probably this is why he enjoys the company of mystics so much. His two little sisters are of course above the *I like level*, but cosplaying is defiantly something Jean enjoys. Because if you already are a super hero why not dress up as someone else sometimes?
Dislikes
Skulls are his main source of frustration and he can break their bones any time of the day and then send them whining and crippled back into the place they crawled out from. Not once not twice he has searched for the information about the place where their leaders stay. Sadly with no results. So for now he is keeping his hands and legs to the soldiers, awaiting the right moment to strike the snakes head. Above that conversations he doesn't understand frustrate him, and things which he is curious about also. If of course someone will keep teasing him with them. Rudeness and picking on the weaker ones is something bad in his eyes. Unfair fights, and back stabbing positions. He also dislikes most vegetables. Jean has a real problem with authorities, and hates when someone is telling him what and when to do.
We are all human - Weaknesses and limitations
Psionics
Even if Jean has a extremely durable body, his mind was the thing he was always worried about. Vurnable for psionic attack and mind reading abilities is sadly Silvers greatest weakness. Though he has learned to resist for a little time. Counting from million to one, playing poker in his mind, not concentrating on thoughts for to long, reading his surfacing thoughts is as easy as opening a book. This is why Jean feels very uneasy around anyone with even a little powers to control others will.
Show off
Yes Jean is a Show off he has became a hero to bath in glory and fame. Of course there are other reasons but thousands of people just screaming his name like he was some rock star, seems to be the best one of them. Sometimes it even covers the one that made Silver appear in the first place. Talk shows, public interviews, and showing up in the news in the most courages stunts makes him vurnable. Many times he was wasting his energy for the fight to look cool and flashy rather then just finishing it on the spot. The society is also what keeps him on the hero road. Turn them against him....and it probably won't be long until he breaks into pieces.
Affected
For one thing Jean cares way to much. Other it's a girl he likes, his family, a close friend, or even someones bad mood. Paul gets easily influenced by such things. Frustration, anger and sadness turn into hunting nights out in the city. Which rarely end with something less then a slaughter of the *sinners*. His headstrong attitude also makes him jealous and pretty possessive. Although he always says that there is nothing like to much care, not once he had to apologize for the behavior a mood swing costed him.
Hey you look like... - Cosplaying
Sure you might say that a older fellow shouldn't play in things like this, but Jean doesn't really give a damn if he looks funny in a red karate Gi or not. Sometimes he'll just walk around in a suit that Ken Masters from Street Fighters would put on, sometimes he might be a mobster from the God father. Anything that can simply inspire him makes it worth a try. Including using phrases and attacks from the comic books, movies, or cartoons. So be out on the watch.
