Eye(s): Blue Hair: Black Height: 5'10" Build Type: Athletic
Brief Description: Jet wears baggy jeans, heavy metal t-shirts, his steampunk arm, couple of boilers, and black Van shoes. In camp, he wears his camp t-shirt. In the Forges at the camp, Jet wears all black leather and a pair of steampunk goggles.
Left Arm Prosthetic β μπράτσο - Beta Arm: The beta version of Jet's steampunk prosthetic. It has a zip up leather sleeve and buckle metal straps that goes across Jet's chest, back, and around his right shoulder. The whole arm is plated with celestial bronze. On Jet's back is a boiler and can connect to the prosthetic by four copper tubbing. Jet creates heat to start up the boiler. There is a hidden switch on the elbow joint so that the electrical system inside the arm so that Jet can move the joints. The electrical system is created by the a small generator inside the arm that is powered up by a separate wheel that is connected to the main wheel that is powered by the main piston. The entire arm weighs 293.34 lbs. Jet has been trying to figure out how to create a lighter arm and when found, it will be put in the Gamma version. Under the forearm plate, is a iPhone that is now modified and hacked for diagnostics for the arm. The iPhone was broken a long time ago before Jet, a Hephaestus cabin mate, and a couple of Athena kids fixed it. It is sealed air tight when the forearm plate is closed. On the left hand, has the Greek letter beta along with the word 'brátso' under it which is engraved. these are found on the forearm and upper arm as well but these two stick out. There is no official version yet. Alpha and Prototype helped create Beta.

Armor Jet's armor is worn in quests only. When not in use, it looks like football shoulder pads and helmet with a gear on the right shoulder. Which acts like a button. When pressed, the armor activates grows and unfolds itself into the samurai looking steampunk armor. The helmet molds and turns into the samurai looking steampunk helmet.
Background:
Mortal Parent(s): Samantha Marian Hughes|Deceased Other Family: Adoptive Father - Uncle: Jason Michael Woods Adoptive Mother - Aunt: Morgan Faye (Hughes) Woods|Terminally Ill Sister: Fleur "Rage" Hughes Pets: Hanger | Bull Mastiff Shott&&Bang | Rage's Stray Cats Brief History:
The Years Before Camp Half-Blood
Everything happened 9 years ago. No one could suspect that one little day can change the life of a young boy and his sister. It was a sunny Wednesday morning in May. Jet and his sister, Fleur, was playing a simple game of tag. Their mother, Samantha, sat on the park bench and watches her to children play. The three were the only ones at the park that day. A gentle breeze blew in the park. A big fluffy cloud rolls along, briefly blocking the sun. Then, for that short period of time that the sun was blocked. Everything went quiet. It was as the the world died.
A fog rolled along the bases of the trees. It grew and thickened. Clicks and hisses echoed in playground of the park. A golden metallic alligator emerged from the trees. The alligator hissed and clicked as it moved forward. Samantha turned her head and screamed. Jet turned his head towards his mother. The monster came down on the children's mother and bit her in half. Jet gasped as he held his young sister close to him.
The monster turned towards the children and the only thought that Jet could produce was, run! He grabs Fleur's hand and they both ran away from the metallic monster. The children ran, with the monster closely behind them. Jet pushed Fleur to safety and used his left arm to make a blockade against the monster. Bad mistake. In one quick snap of it's jaws, Jet's arm was no more. Jet screamed in pain as he places his hand where his arm used to be.
Then, the ancient alligator attacked again, this time, biting into Jet's sides. Jet looks over at his sister, trying to tell her to run. He then sees a girl just older than he, talking to Fleur. Fleur was yelling about something and pointed at Jet. The girl sighed and aimed a bow at the monster. The girl released arrow after arrow until one went inside the chinks of the monster's armor. Jet fell to the ground, unconscious from blood loss. The last thing he knew, that he was on a hospital bed.
Years passed as Jet and Fleur was moved into their mother's sister's house. Fleur rare talked much and was away at times. Jet found a bull mastiff pup in a dark ally. He took care of that pup for years. A year before Jet and Fleur went to camp, the two siblings lived on the streets. Jet tries to look after Fleur, but he was rarely unable to with only one arm. They both came back to camp almost safely, with only a few deep scratches here and their on Jet's body.
Personality: A flaw of Jet's is that he is a pervert. He would awkwardly stare at women that passes by. For beautiful women, his face will grow red with blood coming out of his nose and eventually passes out. As of all guys, Jet is a pervert. He tends to gawk and stare at beautiful women. Human, Demigod, Monster, he stares at them all. He tends to loose focus, a lot when the girls are near. Yep, this is your typical teen right here.
One of Jet's habits that he thinks to much when he is a battle. Sure that he's thinking of a way to defeat his opponent, but he will not react as fast when he makes persist moves. Another habit of Jet's that he tends to draw, a lot, when he is bored. But you have to admit, they are pretty good. Jet is a loyal friend. He will greet everyone he sees respectfully. Jet is a cool and calm sort of guy. His friends and subordinates are in good manners when in his presence. Its not that they fear Jet to switch their emotions, that's just how his effect on people. To enemies however, it pisses them off when he is their presence. Jet has the profound look of a leader, but he's had trouble doing so in the past.
Jet is also very loyal. He will listen to whatever anyone has to say. Jet hates to fight anything that looks like or is female. It makes him sick to his stomach and will find a way to get around the fight. He also doesn't like to fight people that are actually innocent. If he sees what has really happened or heard the truth of what had happened, he will disregard orders and will not fight. Jet is an artistic fellow. He loves to paint and draw. His writing skills are not half bad. But he prefers to draw. Like his drawing, his sword style is also very artistic. Most of Jet's moves are as simple as brush strokes.
Jet is very protective. He protects small children and all females. Ever since he witnessed his mother's death, he became very protective, especially over his little sister. He will go in front of any female and will try to stop an oncoming attack. He is really kind to all females. But he tends to be a jerk to guys, when he doesn't know them quite well. But he is nice to all females.
Jet is grown from being fascinated to a way of life from a style called, Steampunk. He first heard about steampunk on TV. After learning about it, he found out that there were books about steampunk. He read to his heart content about steampunk. But he couldn't make anything, since the loss of his left arm. Once at his first year at Camp Half-Blood, his Hephaestus brothers and sisters built him an artificial arm as a Christmas present. On his second year at camp, Jet made his prototype steampunk arm to replace his artificial arm. He hung his first artificial prosthetic arm as a memento. His weapon's are also been 'steampunked.' He makes everything steampunk. He has ideas of different variations and designs almost every 10 minutes.

Fighting Specialty: Steampunk Buster Sword. It is a mechanical steampunk sword that is combined from 4 other swords. Jet can use the other swords too, but likes to use their combined form. In the link, going by the line of swords. The small sword with the movable handle, is made 1st year. The sword with the handle inside the blade, is made 2nd year. The saw blade is made in 3rd year. The first sword, the base of the buster sword, was built in Jet's 4th year. The image is what the steampunk buster sword would look like if it wasn't steampunked.
Describe the extent of your powers/abilities: Jet's ability is intense heat. He can pin point a certain location on his body and heats it up. He can do this for a long amount of time and at many different locations. His skin will glow bright red to a blinding white glow. Jet hasn't tested to see how hot his body may become.He uses this to create his steam in the boilers that he wears. He is also resistance to intense heat also. Example, he can pick things through lava for a certain amount of time. Jet's intense heat can also create a temporary left arm that looks like fire when its a concentrated content of pure heat itself. But sadly, he can use this power for only the max of thirty minutes to an hour. The longer he uses it, the longer of downtime on his powers. It usually takes about three to four hours before he can use his powers again. By the time of usage to the time of down time, the boilers that Jet wears are still working in a properly. After using his powers, Jet goes into complete exhaustion and usually passes out.
Fatal Flaw: Jet's flaw is girls/women. He is very protective and will protect any female from danger. Jet feels guilty all the time when a girl/women is emotionally or physically hurt. He tries to stay out fights between girl/women or female creatures with a girl's/woman's resemblance, since he doesn't want to hurt them. He tends to freak out when a female is hurt.

Role Playing Sample:
Yaza's eyes snapped open. His dragonic yellow eyes stared straight up. The slitted pupils retreated back to their round shape. The yellow tent of the iris returns to a very dark shade of brown. Did he just heard an impact? He sniffed the air to realize that not only there was the stench of the crater, but two women in his presence. Yaza felt on uneasy at first, but that was only because two women was there with him. He has a nervousness around women. Yaza sighed, forgetting his nerves. He places his palms on the sandy beach and brings his hands close to his head. His arms bend over his head. Yaza kicks up his legs high above him. His back bends. He then arches his back as he pushes off the ground. He landed on his feet, but slide on the sandy surface. He caught himself before he fell. Yaza straightens up and looks at the two women. He couldn't think of anything to say. But Yaza saluted automatically and said, "Yo."

Hey! The app looks really creative and overall awesome! There are just a few things I'm going to have to point out that may be a bit outlandish: the steampunk theme is pretty epic, but an arm with so much weight seems almost impossible for a demigod to carry, unless say, bathed in the river styx or a half-blood of a god/dess who has extreme strength. I'm not suggesting your character goes and jumps in the river (we don't really allow that). Also Jet's ability to make his body heat up for a long duration without getting drained is a little powerful. Every camper has a power that has limitations. Hermes kids can only teleport for a brief distance. As a Hephaestus, resistance to fire is natural, but molten lava? To what extent?
Basically I'm just wondering if it's possible to tone down your powers a bit? I know you haven't asked for much, but the one thing asked for is pretty intense. If there was a time limit or a way that Jet becomes weak after ___ amount of heating, then things would seem more fair? Whatddya think?

alright I'm going to let this one slide. If you have a Godmoding issue (which I doubt) then we'll have to go back through and talk about your powers. But accepted
