Smart teleporter

Story So Far

At age 9, Jack Lewis' school science fair project - a scale model of a nuclear fuel reactor - won him first prize after the panic died down when the model began glowing.

At age 12, Jack was routinely defeating the old men in the park that played chess. His parent insisted that Jack finish high school at the same pace as the rest of his classmates despite the college textbooks he had been carting home from the library, or the bruises from the bullies. They wanted to be sure that Jack wouldn't be seen as not 'paying his dues', that he wouldn't be seen as having earned his place when college came calling for him. And they were certain that he was going to go to college, the first of his family to do so.

Seeking a way to deal with the other, rougher kids in school, Jack found the gym and boxing. Training his mind came easy, the work in the ring was a challenge that he found he had been missing. The licks he took in the ring - and on the schoolyard - became another way for him to pay his dues.

Going to college on a scholarship in their physics program, Jack excelled academically while he continued to work in the ring as a way to keep himself challenged. There he met Clay Briggs, another physics student with a similar interest in martial arts. The two bonded over their shared interests, becoming frequent sparring partners as well as working in the lab.

It was their collaboration that led to the accident that changed Jack. Working with an experimental particle accelerator on a project they believed could change the field of subatomic theory, they were caught in an explosion when the accelerator overloaded. Jack had tried to get Clay out of danger, and the resulting energy discharge changed him. Jack found that he was able to manipulate the density of subatomic fields in objects, creating powerful force fields or greatly enhancing the force of his strikes. Further, Jack found that he could teleport, disassembling and reassembling himself in an instant.

The accident forced both Jack and Clay out of the program and the university, something that Clay blames Jack for. With the resentment Clay felt souring their relationship, the two of them have drifted apart. For his part, Jack has been trying to find a way to use his new abilities to make a positive difference in his home city, cleaning up the streets and working to protect the residents. The falling out with Clay troubles him, but any attempt he's made to reach out to his former friend has gone unanswered so far.

Lesbian stripper ninja

Story So Far

An American great grandfather that served in WWII running a POW camp, and post-war working to transform Japan. Becomes close friends with the head of a ninja clan. The two of them agree that moving forward, it would be best if both cultures understood each other better, so an agreement is made to pick a child from each generation to be raised by the other family. The Japanese kids learn about American culture, business practices, and so forth. The American kids learn about Japanese culture (modern and traditional), and get trained as ninjas. My character would be the first girl sent over to study in Japan - but although female ninjas aren't common, they aren't unheard of either, so she's accepted. Mostly (still kind of has to push through some misogynistic crap now and again). And she's a lesbian. Not a slut, not by any means, but she likes girls.

Upon reaching Master status in her late 20's, she comes back home to the US, which she's visited from time to time, but doesn't know terribly well. She makes the mistake of coming out to her (very rich, very conservative) family as a lesbian, and immediately gets disowned. Strapped to pay the bills, few marketable skills you can actually put on a resume, no capital to set up a dojo (teaching a... sanitized... version of the art), she eventually becomes a stripper to pay the bills. It's unsavory work, especially when you don't like guys (and have to pretend otherwise), but it pays very well, and she can work a stripper pole like you wouldn't believe. There's also the advantage that with a phone call, you can disappear from work for days or weeks on end, with a quick audition you can get immediate work in almost any city, the hours are flexible... and everyone just naturally assumes you have a substance abuse problem, so no one bats an eye when you're flaky in your social life... it's almost ideal for supporting a super-heroine.
