julian marcus alexander the basics full name ♦ Julian Marcus Alexander nicknames ♦ Jay, Julian Dunn age ♦ Twenty-one birthday ♦ June 23, 1995 occupation ♦ Bartender ; Volunteer at the schools school ♦ Previously attended Oxford University and got a degree in Bachelor of Fine Arts species ♦ Human ability/power ♦Power Replication how the ability works ♦ Julian has the ability to mimic or replicate the abilities of other humans with powers, thus allowing him to use their power as if it were his own. In order to take on another’s power, Julian must touch them with the intent to copy what they can do, or at least be thinking about the abilities on some level. Anger is oftentimes a trigger for this and that’s why Jay tries to stay as relaxed as he can. Julian can hold two abilities at a time, and while it’s possible to combine them together, he presently isn’t sure how to do that. Abilities that he has taken are only able to be retained for up to a week, depending on the ability itself. Those that take more focus to do will disappear faster than those that are seemingly second nature. When attempting to use abilities that he has copied, the powers are imitated on a weaker scale and can be erratic at best. The more often Julian copies an ability, the more skilled he can get with it, but he has never been successful in having complete control over another ability. When he has someone’s ability, he is unable to be harmed by that specific ability. If Julian attempts to take on a third power at this time, there is essentially a power overload and his body will temporarily shut down while forcing all of the powers he has taken on out of his body. This can leave him him a coma-like or dazed state until his system has been flushed out, which leaves him extremely vulnerable. Julian is not able to replicate the abilities of shapeshifters, skinwalkers, or those who have the ability to block other powers. gender ♦ Male sexuality ♦ Heterosexual the appearance face claim ♦ Louis Tomlinson height and weight ♦ 5’8” and 152lbs identifying features ♦ Julian has several tattoos, some of which he got out of the country, but most have spanned the last couple of years. overall appearance ♦ Julian stands at an average height of 5'8" and weighs in at around one hundred and fifty-two pounds. With brown hair that's often unkempt and blue eyes that sometimes appear to be more green than anything, he has the adorable good looks that can easily disarm anyone who might be suspicious of him. Comfort is key for Julian and that's why you'll see him in jeans and a t-shirt. He's a fan of a denim or light jacket and enjoys the warmth of a beanie atop his head. Really, he doesn't look very intimidating unless you get him angry. the personality likes ♦ Being social, swimming, rain, thunderstorms, campfires dislikes ♦ Drunks, cheaters, kids crying, being woken up strengths ♦ People person Observant weaknesses ♦ Stubborn Restless dreams ♦ Julian really just wants to be able to help people and make a difference in the world. fears ♦ Never amounting to anything in his life. overall personality ♦ Julian is, first and foremost, someone who strives to achieve everything that he sets his mind to. It doesn’t matter if it’s as small as preparing dinner or as large as making a name for himself in the world. He isn’t afraid to take the more difficult path if it seems like that will reap the best reward. Despite the fact that he comes from money, you would never know it based on his personality. He’s the type of person that will buy a penniless, hungry stranger a meal and worry about himself later on. Upon first meeting Jay, it’s easy to see how likable he is. Extremely outgoing, Julian tries to make everyone feel at ease. While it may be part of his job as a bartender, it’s also something that he just seems to do. While he’s generally a sweet guy, make no mistakes that Jay isn’t someone that you want to get on the bad side of. He is extremely intolerant when it comes to belligerence or simply acting like a drunk fool. If he sees something that he doesn’t like, chances are fairly high that he’ll speak on the matter, especially if it involves some kind of bullying or abuse of any sort. Where his friends are concerned, Jay is fiercely loyal and there is nothing he won’t do to make sure that those he cares about are safe. This might sometimes entail putting himself in the line of danger, but that’s something small to make sure that someone else is okay. While Jay has a good head on his shoulders and often seems sure of himself, he is actually quite indecisive and would prefer others to make certain decisions for him - which ironic given that he likes to be in control of his own life and his own situations. While it often takes quite a bit to truly anger Julian, it’s not something that anyone actually wants to see or be on the receiving end of. Despite generally being a warm soul, his temper truly seems to come out in matters of disrespect. It’s just a good idea to be the person that stays on his good side, because everyone is better off. the history father ♦ Nathaniel Alexander, 42, Dentist mother ♦ Sophie Alexander, 39, MD (CEO) of Dunn & Ryan siblings ♦ if any important people ♦ Colin O’Malley hometown ♦ Doncaster, United Kingdom overall history ♦ June, 1966. It was actually a beautiful day in Doncaster when Sophie brought Julian into the world, with Nathaniel right by her side. Sophie was the MD (CEO) of a highly renowned law firm owned by her father, while her husband worked with people of varying ages as a dentist. Together the pair of them made quite a bit of money and it was for that reason that young Julian never really had to want for anything. Growing up for Julian was something that he often took for granted. Because of the money that his parents had, he got the best that money could buy him, from clothing to schooling to horseback riding lessons and everything in between. Julian always seemed to have his mother’s intuition and his father’s charm, which would be a huge aid for him as he got older. Still, he was always good at telling when someone was keeping something from him, learning the tells that people gave when they were lying. His parents had told him early on that there was a possibility of him developing powers, but there was no telling what he would get or if he would even get an ability. He was six when his ability first manifested, as he replicated his mother’s aerokinesis and accidentally knocked a lamp over, causing it to shatter upon the floor. His mother didn’t realize that he had an ability at that point, instead believing that it was some kind of tantrum. Despite the fact that he swore up and down he didn’t mean to do it, she didn’t believe him. It was only a short time later when a jet of wind seemed to be prominent in their penthouse and only then did Sophie realize that her son had an ability. She thought he had the same thing that she did, but a week later, he showed signs of the hydrokinesis that his father possessed. It was only after his parents talked to a few of their friends that they realized the possibility of Julian being able to take on the powers of others. It didn’t take long for his replicated abilities to disappear, and he couldn’t really control when they happened, but it was something that they had decided to work on him with. Through several of their friends, the Alexanders were able to find someone who could help their son learn to control his abilities without having to worry about exposing himself to everyone else. Colin O’Malley quickly became a large part of Julian’s life as he worked with the young boy to teach him everything that he knew in regards of replicating the powers of those around him. It had been in everyone’s best interest to pull Julian out of the public schools and begin to teach him at home, where they would have better control over the entire environment and the people that the young boy was exposed to. Because of the influence that the family had, and with the help of Colin, Julian never had a reason to be sent to a school that would keep him away from them. It was the connections that Colin had that allowed them to run further ‘testing’ in order to see if their theory about Julian was correct. As he took on, and promptly lost, various powers, the realization of what was happening began to finally settle in. The first few years were the most difficult and challenging and there were more than a few times that his parents found him with their powers and unable to control the things that were happening around him. The constant training and general schooling, day in and day out, allowed Julian to skip ahead a few grades, causing him to graduate early and gain acceptance to Oxford at seventeen. Colin came with him, as something of a 'translator' and to be there in the case of an emergency. Eventually Julian was able to live as though there was never anything holding him back. He was never truly isolated because of the amount of people, often kids around his own age, that Colin brought in to see if Julian could grasp their powers or not. There were those that had control over their abilities that were there to help Julian figure out how to use whatever ability it was that he had at the time, though the longer he went in between replicating that ability, the longer it took for him to actually remember how to use it. Almost every time he would take an ability on again, it would be as though he was a fawn just learning to walk. The ability was as unpredictable as anyone just coming into their powers would find. Colin helped him work on that, finding a focus that would allow him to center himself and, for the most part, control his ability rather than letting it control him. At the age of twenty, Julian graduated and made the decision to move across an ocean, away from his parents, to help kids that had similar problems. Initially he found himself helping out around Phalanx Home and eventually his good deeds reached other ears and he found himself helping out at Primrose. While that has kept him busy for the most part, he still found time to get a job at one of the bars on Bourbon Street, and is still hoping to be able to lend a hand at Monroeville because he knows that some of the people there just need someone to talk to. the role player alias ♦ Sammi, Khaleesi, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms age ♦ 23 pronouns ♦ she/her/khaleesi code ♦ Admin Edit other characters ♦ @killian @charlie @jett @dylan |
