Mutation:
Jubilee is a mutant with the super human ability to generate bright blasts of multi-colored energy from her fingertips. Because of the color and sound created by these plasmoids, she refers to them as fire works.
She has complete mental control over these fireworks and can manipulate them to travel where she directs them too; to arrange themselves into balls, streamers, and other shapes’ and to explode when and how she wishes. The strength of the explosion varies in degrees of power and intensity, ranging from a multitude of colorful sparkles capable of temporarily blinding a person to a powerful detonation capable of smashing objects and destroying property.
Jubilee can also absorb the unexploded fireworks back into her own body without harm and seems to be less affected by the brightness and heat of the explosion then others.
According to her last mutant power evaluation, Jubilee has the power to detonate matter at a sub-atomic level, which in theory is the equivalent to a fusion bomb. She has not yet developed her power to this extent and it remains an unrealized possibility.
As a side effect to the amount of unexploded energy she is storing within her body, Jubilee has limited immunity to detection. Her location does not register on electronic scanners and sensors, although it does appear on normal video and audio surveillance. She also can not be detected or located by telepathic means as her power generates a light telepathic shield. Although they can not locate her, once a telepathic knows where she is, they can choose to break through her shield, at which point she becomes vulnerable to any and all telepathic attacks.
Skills:
Jubilee is an average American girl with at typical teenager’s capacity for sports, movies, music, celebrities, and junk food. She has a deep love of pranks and practical jokes and although she is a straight-C student in the classroom, she has shown almost genius level capabilities when it comes to the design and implementation of her pranks. Her reputation has grown so strong that all she has to do to strike fear into the hearts of the campus is throw a way an empty jell-o box or add hair dye to the school shopping list.
Although she has the personality and habits of a typical American girl, Jubilee is the daughter of Chinese immigrants. Her first language is Mandarin Chinese and she is familiar with all of the traditional Chinese customs, practices, stories, and religious values. She often hides or dismisses this aspect of her history, or plays it down in front of others, because she so longs to be accepted as part of the crowd, but it remains.
Jubilee is also a natural athlete with years of training under her belt and a strong competitive spirit. She has studied gymnastics since childhood and at one point was good enough to qualify for a space on the Olympic training team. Her specialty was the floor routine (flips, tucks, and springs) although she had equal experience on the bars, rings, beams, and mounts. These days she has given up on her Olympic dreams and is content merely being the star of all the Xavier Institute sports teams. She excels in every sport offered by the Institute, from basketball to martial arts, and is always the first person to sign up for any club sport or pick-me-up game.
Recently, Jubilee has begun demonstrating some natural leadership capabilities, showing a real instinct and talent. She managed to organize a highly effective mini-rebellion during her imprisonment by Stryker, and recently has managed to earn a position as a TA in the physical education department.
Personality:
Jubilee is a vibrant, out-going girl, with a great sense of spirit and gusto. She fully embraces life, determined not to miss one second or one experience. She is full of passions and energy, acting without hesitation or self doubt. She is fully committed to everything she does, whether it’s mastering a new karate move, sneaking bubble bath into the pool, or telling her headmaster exactly what she thinks of his outfit. She doesn’t do anything half way or second best, and has yet to ever give up or admit defeat.
This sense of full and absolute commitment applies to her personal relationships as well as her actions. When Jubilee decides to like or dislike a person, she commits herself to that feeling. To her, loving someone means accepting everything about them, even their faults and negative aspects. And hating a person, means really and truly hating them, not just disliking them a little bit.
Her intensity and drive often intimidate people or turn them off. She doesn’t always make space or time for people who are quieter or less forceful then herself; has trouble working with people who don’t share her commitment or drive; and is deeply unforgiving of people who she feels have betrayed herself or her ideals. She holds grudges, sometimes endlessly, and doesn’t hold back her words or her fists when defending something or someone she cares about.
History:
Jubilation Lee was born on the Fourth of July in a Beverly Hills Hospital, the only child of wealthy Chinese immigrants. The fireworks that herald in her birth proved to be a telling prophecy, as Jubilee quickly turned out to be as bright, energetic, and vibrant as those explosions.
Jubilee was a handful from day one. She wasn’t bad or difficult, she was merely filled with boundless energy and a curiosity about the world that her parents couldn’t begin to understand. On the advice of her preschool teacher, after a particularly long and exhausting day, Jubilee’s parents enrolled her in a local gymnastics club. Her teachers claimed the sport would provide her with a sense of structure and discipline while at the same time giving her the opportunity to work off the untiring store of energy she seemed to possess. Her parents, at that point, were simply exhausted and willing to try anything.
Jubilee loved gymnastics and the opportunity to be active and moving instead of being told to be still and quiet. She proved to have a natural talent for the sport and within a few years she was entering competitions and tournaments up and down the West coast. She so well there that she attracted the attention of the Olympic training team, whose recruiters eventually contact her parents about the possibility of moving the 8-year-old gymnastics prodigy to New York where she could train officially with the team. Her parents had never considered the possibility that the sport would turn anything more then just a hobby, but the prospect of having their daughter compete on the Olympic team was tantalizing.
But before her parents could made a decision, they were murdered by a dyslexic hit-man who’d shown up at 2018 Holly Way instead of 1820. The hit man would escape before the police arrived, leaving only a scrap of paper with the address 1820 Holly Way written on it. To this day, they have no idea who the man was or why he’d been hired to kill the Lei family at 1820, who were quickly picked up and moved into police protection.
Jubilee was at the mall with a friend’s family when it happened and police officers quickly rushed over to collect her and tell her what had happened. The news was so surprising and upsetting, and delivered by an officer with no experience dealing with children, that Jubilee reacted by punching the police officer, screaming that he was lying, and running away. When the officer chased after her, Jubilee suddenly generated a blinding explosive energy fireworks display that completely disoriented the officer and allowed her to escape.
She spent the rest of the day hiding in the mall before being spotted by mall security guards and brought in. But by that point, it was too late. The mall’s video surveillance system had captured the whole event on film, and images of Jubilee’s firework display were quickly displayed on every news channel in southern California. All those friends who had initially called to offer to take her in, changed their minds. They were suddenly busy, or in the middle of a family emergency, or headed out of town. No one wanted a mutant, except for Professor Xavier, who called that day to offer her a place at the institute. With no better alternative available, Jubilee’s social worker had no choice but to accept.
The school provided her with support and counseling to help her deal with her parents death, the emergence of her mutant powers, the stress of being abandoned by her friends, and the move across country to a new place. They discovered that she had a learning disability, dyscalculia, which explained why she had had such difficulty in school, particularly with math. And they bought a complete set of gymnastics equipment and signed her up for training with a local gym. Jubilee flourished under all the attention and effort, and before long she was back to her old self and fully adjusted to her new, strange situation.
At 9 years old, Jubilee was younger then most of the other mutants at the Institute, but her outgoing personality and energetic antics quickly brought her to the center of attention. Initially she was treated more like a crazy little-sister then as an equal, but in her usually way, she embraced this title fully. She became a tag-along participant in all of the older students activities, from their classes to their trainings to their pranks to their social events. She was always willing to deliver their notes, spy on their crushes, and help out in their practical jokes.
A few years after she came to live at the Institute, Jubilee was captured by Colonel William Stryker and his soldiers during an infiltration of the mansion and taking back to his secret base, where she was held hostage. More embarrassed at being captured then frightened, and fully confident that the X-men would, eventually, come to rescue her, Jubilee soon focused all her attentions on annoying and tormenting her captors. She organized the other kidnapped students into a small, but active, gorilla army that waged a highly effective campaign of annoyance on the men assigned to guard them. Her experience with pranks and practical jokes on campus proved to be a strong asset here, as did her dedication to doing whatever it was she decided to do. She was working on an escape plan when she was rescued, and her teachers often joke that if the X-men had waited any longer to rescue her, they would have burst in to find Stryker covered in tapioca and super glued to the ceiling.
Once things returned to normal, Jubilee began throwing herself into her training with new energy and force. The humiliation of being captured and rescued, as well as the surprising success she had found leading her “army” of pranksters had given the teenager new direction and purpose. No longer content to just be a side-kick to the older and more talented students, Jubilee was determined to become a major player herself, to become the rescuer instead of the rescuee. She tried out for a spot on Junior X-men team when it was initially formed, but was denied a spot due to her young age, being only 12 at the time. Not one to be deterred she stepped up her training and contented herself by continually tormenting the students who were selected for the team, gluing their socks shut, stealing their uniforms, and committing hundreds of other small annoyances on them.
Since she wasn’t on the Junior X-men team, she was left behind when they went to San Francisco and excluded from helping with the Decimation crisis. She watched the events unfold on the television, cheering the team on from the safety from the mansion, but felt utterly left out at not being including. But now that she’s 15, she finally has a place on the team as a full fledge member, and she is determined to prove herself worthy.
Sample Post:
“Do you know why you’re here Jubilation?” Asked Scott, his face blank and unreadable behind the ruby red visor permanently attached to his face like some bejeweled face sucking monster.
Jubilee sucked in air noisily between her lips and studied him intently, wondering which of the two available answers – yes or no – would get her out of the office the quickest, before he noticed the smoke beginning to emanate from her jacket pocket.
“Ye-no.” She said, changing her mind midword. She gave him her most serious and puzzled expression, trying to ignore the yellow jacket wadded up on her lap, which was beginning to give off faint whispy trails of smoke.
Last year she’d answered yes to that question, after the events that had gone down in fame as the “Great Rodeo Cheeseburger Geyser of 2007”. It had wound up being a stupid question as Scotts request for her to “tell him why she was there” had resulted in her revealing far more about the event then Scott had known or suspected. As punishment, she’d been sentenced to clean the mess up in the kitchen, a task that had taken her two days to perform to his satisfaction.
“I mean, yeah!” She quickly changed her mind and her tactics, squirming nervously in her chair to give her the opportunity to squish her jacket into a tighter ball to hide the smoke that was beginning to become noticeable.
It had been only three weeks ago that she’d given the no answer a shot, after someone had reprogrammed Wolvie’s Danger room training sequence so that all of the sentinels were replaced by the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man. Her denial had earned her an hour long lecture and three weeks of restriction, a ridiculous punishment given that everyone knew her computer skills weren’t anywhere near that kind of detail work! But Scott hadn’t even given her a chance to finger Drake, who’d gotten off scott free and been rewarded with the pleasure of watching Wolvie’s face when the first giant, white, puffy, marshmallow man reared his giant, smiling face. She’d have loved to see that, after all, it had been her idea in the first place!
“Kind of, I mean. I think I know.” She said, animatedly gesturing with one hand to try and clear some of the smoke while the other hand clamped down harder on the jacket.
Once she’d managed to walk in and out of the room in less then 20 minutes with no more then a “I hope you learned your lesson and I won’t see you in here for this again.” Of course, eyebrows grow back eventually and Drake had kind of been asking for it.
“I mean… I mean…” It was just empty protest now. The jacket was issuing so much smoke now that Jubilee couldn’t even see Scott across the desk. Coughing on the smoke, she untwisted the jacket from it’s note, freeing more of the smoke as she did so. Reaching in the pocket she pulled out six small black smoke bombs, each one billowing out smoke from a small opening on one side. Thrusting the smoke bombs out she dropped them on Scotts desk, where they hit with a thud and rolled about like wildly creatures in every direction.
“I’m sorry and I promise to never, ever, empty out a smoke bomb and use the power to fill Remy’s cigarettes again.” She chocked out in one deep breath before grabbing her jacket and running full force from the room, leaving Scott to deal with the bombs on his own.
She was so going to be put on restriction for this.
