Jerome Porter doesn't know this, but he is a mythical being. His family has lived in San Francisco as long as he can remember and one of his ancestors was one of the most gifted martial artists of his generation. This relative, a young man from China who migrated to the US to escape the machinations of a number of Chinese strongmen who would use his abilities for personal gain, eventually settled in San Francisco and married an African woman who had been freed from her former "employment". Jerome's ancestor had a vision of one of his descendants becoming a great warrior, and he wrote of it in a diary. This knowledge found its way to various sources and it is believed that Jerome is the Warrior mentioned. Jerome is a completely self taught fighter; his "style" is based on video games and movies he's seen. His parents saw his "Ch'i Blast" and figured he was a mutant. He ended up at the Prescot Institute, and while the source of his powers is one of the greater mysteries to the staff, he has been receiving instruction in Kung Fu by a local teacher. The instructor, amazed at his prowess has sought to correct his "erratic" form. Jerome's older sister is studying at a local school in Portland so that he has family with him. He is very protective of her. Jerome is a warrior; he enjoys fighting and sees his "superhero" antics as training for something bigger. He also has some idea that his abilities are known to others. He has found himself facing what could best be described as Ninjas and other martial artists of skill who seem to be seeking him out. Jerome's worldview has been shaped by his Video Game and Kung Fu film obsessions; he tries to live the life of a movie hero, following a romanticized "code of Bushido". "Beware; you will soon taste Gecko’s Mountain Waterfall Kick, although it was left out of Street Kings IV: The Rebirth, it was one of the strongest moves in the game..." An eclectic series of "Martial Arts" attacks, backed by phenomenal physical prowess. Jerome is only twelve but he is very strong for his age. When he reaches adulthood he will be in the 20-25 STR range. He generally uses his strikes or <i>peerless grappling</i> to wear his foes down, breaking loose with the Ch'i Power Ball if the prove too tough. He doesn't use his killing strike against living foes if he can help it. As Jerome grows and continues to truly study martial arts his powers will blossom into an amazing arsenal of special abilities. He would be a good student for a dedicated, Ch'i oriented martial artist. If he's too tough, trim his Ultimate Martial Arts Multipower to a few slots and drop his speed to 6. If he's not tough enough, bring his stats up to what ever "Teen Hero" norm is, and maybe give him some actual martial arts maneuvers (stay away from strikes, his MP should handle those). Tall and skinny but with obvious athleticism. Jerome has brown eyes; he dyes his hair red and dresses in urban fashions. His costume consists of a red domino mask, red leather jacket with a dragon embossed on the back and red pants. He wears red Karate pads on his hands.
