JOEL “JJ” NOAH JOHNSON
TWENTY-EIGHT//MALE//BISEXUAL//ADRENAL OVERLOAD//LOCAL – POLICE OFFICER//MARK SALLING
POWER INFO:
Adrenal Overload
Basically, JJ produces more adrenaline than the normal human. So while a normal human gets a bit of an adrenaline rush, say, enough to pick up a car if your child is under it, or take several bullet wounds and still save your buddies, JJ gets that to a much greater degree. The greater the rush, the more and more adrenaline that pumps into his system. While this happens, he gains the benefits that most people get from the same: his strength and durability increases dramatically, and he can withstand a great deal more damage. Given the extent of JJ's ability, he can reach superhuman levels, essentially “hulking out” while under the affects of the adrenaline.
Furthermore, he does not necessarily have to get into a fight in order to experience this. He still gets adrenaline rushes from what normal people do: extreme sports, sex, and the like. His ability will kick in under those circumstances in addition to more combat oriented circumstances.
Limitations/Drawbacks:
-JJ's ability is essentially based on if he can produce adrenaline; if he cannot, he's as helpless as the rest of the world.
-When the adrenaline rush is over, JJ is left feeling more or less like a normal human. Since he produces far more than is average, this can mean extreme crashes, particularly if he sustains a good deal of damage or utilizes a lot of strength. (this can go as far as pulling/tearing muscles or sustaining permanent damage, which has happened to JJ before).
-As a result of regular use of this ability, JJ has “the shakes.” He will occasionally tremble uncontrollably and almost go into a sort of craving not unlike an addicts.
-Given the way JJ uses the ability, there is no way he will live a long life: he will likely die of adrenaline poison far before that happens (and given the wear and tear the ability puts on his body, unless he dies suddenly, he's going to be a wreck by the end).
GENERAL APPEARANCE: 5 Things you gotta know about JJ's appearance:
1 – he's a stud. JJ is smoking hot, thanks in part to good genetics, but also in part to an extremely active lifestyle. He works out regularly, with extreme attention paid to weight lifting. He is, therefore, incredibly brawny, like, really brawny, like “welcome to the gun show” brawny.”
2- he's brawny. Wait, did I already say that? Who cares. He's ripped, and athletic and junk.
3 – Leather jackets – he likes them, and he often wears them when he's off duty. Hell, he wears them when he's on duty; it just makes him look more awesome.
4 – Packing – he likes that he gets a gun, and he's got no qualms about carrying it. Strangely though, he never seems to actually use it, mostly because there is some part of JJ's brain that tells him that if he does actually shoot the damn thing, it's going to be taken away, and then he wouldn't have it any more, and he'd be sad.
5 – tight clothes make the man – all of Darius' clothes cling to his body, be it tight jeans that show off his ass and crotch or a shirt that cleaves to every bit of his body. Pretty much the only thing he has that doesn't cling like a second skin is his uniform, and even then there have been times when the ladies have thought that he's a stripper (and at least once he's gone through with it; if his partner hadn't covered, he would've lost his badge for that)
MUST HAVE APPAREL: the gun; pretty sure that was already written above, but whatever.
PERSONALITY: 5 things you need to know about JJ's personality:
1 – he's a douche. Or a dick. Or a jerk. Pick your derogatory term. As far as JJ's concerned, everyone's out to use everyone else, and he intends to be out at the front of the pack. He has no respect for anyone with the noticeable exception of those that have served in the military and fellow cops (besides his partner).
2 – he's a slut, and he's shallow about it. As far as JJ is concerned, everyone is someone he can either sleep with, or punch until they decide they'd rather sleep with him. So technically:
3 – he likes being violent. Should be there. But yeah, he's going to flirt with someone, and if they rebuff him, he gets angry, often to the point of violence. He has no qualms about using his size or his abilities in order to make people fear him and give him what he wants. He also has a saying: “if someone likes it, it's not rape, it's surprise sex.” It's hard to say if he's actually done any raping though... But if you're hot, male or female, then he's gonna want a piece.
4 – he's a mutant supremacist. He firmly believes that mutants are the next wave in the human race, because they're obviously better than regular humans. He is a little forgiving in that he doesn't mind if your power sucks; sure, you're a bit of a dud, but if you're still hot, you're worth keeping around. And lets face it, most of the mutants are hot.
5 – he's stupid. But it's that mean kind of survival stupid. Some have compared him to a mean dog: stupid, but somehow smart enough to not end up dead. He's probably still going to get killed, because he's great at taking orders and following someone.
EXTRA QUIRK: does fucking everything that moves count as a quirk?

CHILDHOOD: JJ was one of those kids that liked to pick on other kids. Sure, some said it came from being from a troubled home or something, but a lot of people knew better: JJ was a little shithead, and he liked it. He was naturally bigger and cuter looking than most of the rest of the kids, and he often lorded it over people. He fell in with a group that was essentially the kiddie version of a gang, and he had no qualms about breaking rules and the like.
His mother did try to raise him, mind. She taught him some basic rules and respect. She also fed him a story about his dad having been in the army and dying while off in action. JJ has no idea if this is actually true (he suspects it isn't, at least now that he's an adult he does), but it instilled in him his main redeeming feature: respect for men and women in uniform. He said at an early age that he was going to be a soldier and go and kill all the bad guys. This was usually said before declaring that someone was a bad guy and beating the crap out of them.
ADOLESCENCE: This is the era wherein JJ discovered that his penis was useful for more than just urinating. He was remarkable in that as soon as he discovered this, he also discovered that he happened to like both sexes. Guys and girls each had their own benefits as far as he was concerned, and he frankly didn't care who he screwed so long as he got to be on top. He continued to be a domineering little pain in the ass for most of his adolescence. It was around fourteen when he was screwing a super hot girl that his abilities actually kicked in.
JJ then really enjoyed himself with the action at the time. Then, when her boyfriend showed up, JJ was able to kick his ass even better than usual (and then enjoy himself then; the boyfriend didn't JJ report; JJ would later claim that this was because he enjoyed it). No sooner had he discovered this than JJ began terrorizing the rest of his neighborhood, screwing anyone he liked and fighting anyone dumb enough to get in his way. Needless to say, he was arrested and taken in. The recruiters came and found him in a jail cell.
Now, Bellefonte staff are not stupid. They realized that they already had a delinquent under their control. They had several of their best working on him (including one Guy LeGrange), and he actually seemed to be improving. Of course, improvement for JJ amounted to fighting only every other day and mostly screwing people who were “willing.” The school was severely worried about him, but JJ, surprisingly, expressed a desire to keep with his original plans: he wanted to join the military after graduation.
ADULTHOOD: So JJ did. He enlisted no less than a week after high school graduation (and it was certainly a debauched week). The military gave JJ the structure he desperately needed: he wasn't just a good soldier, he was an outstanding one. However, it was also clear that he would never be anything than a grunt. JJ maintained that stone-headed stupidity that had served him oh so well throughout the rest of his life. Still, he willingly volunteered for combat duty and was shipped off to combat zones.
There, JJ's ability made him an extreme asset. People didn't think that he was a mutant, since he wasn't exactly glowing colors or anything. Strangely enough, he often risked his life to save other people. Oh sure, this often involved shooting at, often killing the enemy, which JJ seemed to enjoy a little too much. Still, JJ found out that he actually got a high from risking his life to save others. This was in part because of his ability, but also that small bit of humanity within him.
His tour of duty ended, and JJ made another strange, split second decision: he went back to Kalispell and joined the police academy. Again, this fell in line with his respect for men in uniform and his desire to be in charge, but something else was creeping up. JJ had noticed something while he was in the military, something that had been bothering him for most of his life: normal people sucked. They were weak and pathetic compared to him, compared to all the mutants. So JJ wanted to be back among the rest of his kind, and to be in a position where he could fuck over any weakass, pathetic norms that got in his way. So when his tour ended, JJ retired from the military and was able to join the police academy. They, of course, were thrilled to have someone with military background and training willing to work for them. A lot of JJ's training crossed over almost too well, and he proved excellent at several aspects.
Except there seemed to be... problems. People often complained about how JJ handled things. He was rougher than he needed to be with culprits, and seemed to take extra joy from screwing over Academy students and norms. There were also reports and suspicions that JJ might be abusing his authority, using his gun and badge to get what he wanted from people. There was no hard evidence though, at least not for a while. And JJ proved to be quite an asset, willing to take on dangerous assignments as well as be one of the first to step up when they needed to take down a dangerous mutant.
But as a result, they assigned JJ a partner. The poor guy had a power that worked well to defuse JJ's own, and he was pretty much everything JJ wasn't (except he also happened to like boys, but I'll leave that for someone else). Unfortunately, JJ decided to use and abuse his partner. He regularly bullies and berates his partner, often forcing the other to cover for him.
And that's where he stands now. JJ parades his authority around Kalispell as a beat cop, regularly abusing his authority wherever he can get away with it.

SAMPLE: Oh, this was gonna be fun. JJ licked his lips as he approached his victim. He paused for a moment to straighten his tie and to try and look as authoritarian as he possibly could. Then, he approached said victim, wishing that they actually gave him a club that he could use. He used his impressive size to loom over the other person, smiling cruelly down at them.
“Excuse me, do you realize that you're out past curfew?” he asked, his voice nearly dripping with glee at it. He turned and looked, already knowing that this happened to be an Academy student. The victim had that look about them. Probably new, for that matter, and not likely to know much about the curfew. JJ grunted and raised a finger to push his sunglasses further up on his nose, knowing it made him look more badass. “I'm going to have to see some ID. C'mon, don't keep me waiting. Already wasting my time dealing with little problems like you,” he practically growled that, sneering.
“Don't make me get rough,” he added, before scanning the victim. He already knew he could take the poor person; the question now was “how.”
