Name:
Jesper Gregory Evens
Alias:
Re:Traption
No, stop, you see this is clever because it stands for reaction trap contraption, you know like a Rube Goldberg machine —
Age:
25
Appearance:
Jesper is a tall, pale, man with a wiry build and a mess of black hair. He’s potentially the sort of man you’d pass on the street without taking much notice of, which could also possibly be why he has the complex he does but it’s best not to psychoanalyze a man in the appearance section. He does pretty well look like the type of guy who would be doing mad scientist things in a comic book, honestly dressed like one too half the time but it’s a big city with an ever increasing number of meta-weirdos so what’s one more looking the part anyway?
Powers:
Jesper can speed up the degradation of plastics, rubbers, and similar compounds breaking them apart into base elements. He’s the worst enemy of all sorts of polyester blend clothing or really good at making you realize just how much of the world around you is rubber or plastic when his power sparks off. The distance is around thirty feet or so around him, if the power is sparking off a feeling of emotion or only towards things near at hand if he’s trying to actually control the whole thing. He doesn’t use this power often, as the power is certainly not the point.
Equipment:
Oh now this is a concerning question. Okay, so as one might have gathered from Jesper’s very silly alias that maybe someone will eventually talk him out of, Jesper has a lot of different tools. The man is concerningly good at making overly complicated contraptions and traps which he can then put to work to really ruin someone else’s day. Like, really make a pair of do gooders annoyed as they accidentally step on a fake tile only to find a net flinging itself at them from a hidden machine at the end of the hall. He does not have powers that he uses to set these things up, just a pair of lock picks and too much time available at night when people aren’t around in public places.
Outside of that he has a few tools always at hand, a lot of those little multipurpose ones like a tiny hammer that you can turn into a screwdriver or a lighter that also has a bottle opener, you know the type I’m sure. Man probably goes through a Swiss Army knife every three months.
Biography:
I think we can just skip through most of the boring bits, right? Jesper grew up lower middle class, and got himself a scholarship to go to a rather good school just think of a good one to yourself and you’re probably close enough, and he majored in engineering and chemistry. This is likely a dual major that should be made illegal in this setting as it clearly only exists to help supervillains or just middling villains be real pains in someone’s ass. He passed with high marks, save for the semester where he learned drinking was fun and he was just clever enough to coast through a few courses by only cramming the night before.
He got a job in a lab after graduation, or well he got the job before graduation and worked at it before graduation but I’m getting muddled in the weeds here, for a company working on some fun new lightweight materials that would probably revolutionize repairing buildings after metahumans went and broke them. Jesper did pretty well at this, though he also was the sort who was pushing himself too hard as they were approaching some deadline or another without having something worked out. As mentioned before, his power doesn’t jive well with stress, and late one night it manifested itself chewing into bits a lot of very expensive lab equipment and materials. This was a rather rude way for Jesper to learn he was a metahuman, as it coincided with him getting very fired from his job. It also made finding a new one very hard.
Now Jesper didn’t take any of this well, as it very much ruined his life. With no prospects for a new job and two months into a new career as a food service employee Jesper decided that he was not going to survive and turned to the only other career opportunity available to him, where he could make a name for himself, crime.
Now, he’s probably not going to pull off the greatest heist of the century or anything, let’s be real about the guy’s prospects, but he’ll at least make a proper nuisance of himself for some hapless hero or heroines. Like maybe two heroines, for example, a normal one and a cat girl one.
