"Michaels" is the last name of the foster parents the courts set her up with, but she barely even belongs to the family: she hardly sees them now and rarely shows up to psyche examinations. Her foster family tried to set her up with a real first name and a middle name, but she refused both. ALIAS; Most know her as simply "Jupiter". It is the code name the scientists gave her, supposedly because when she was "born" (or grew into an embryo), she was a large baby with a mouth like a gaping hole. She's embraced the name as her own defiance and twisted sense of identity. AGE; sixteen GENDER; female ORIENTATION; homosexual CLASS; Genus Solidus SHIFT SPECIES; Mojave rattlesnake BIRTH DATE; November 15th GENETICS EYES; blue HAIR; red WEIGHT; 121 lbs. HEIGHT; 5' 5" VOICE; Jessica Boone FACE CLAIM; Neon Genesis Evangelion - Asuka Langley Soryu DESCRIPTION; Jupiter's unassuming human appearance paired with her crude personality catches the rest of the world off-guard. She is an average-sized, if underweight teenager. Despite the ungraceful, masculine way she carries her body, she possesses striking physical qualities. Her blue eyes appear innocent. Her pale skin and freckles look beautiful, if delicate. What makes her demeanor truly deceiving is her expression: her eyes are frequently made regretful or pained, like the expression of a troubled damsel, though this slant of her brows is an obvious fake. Jupiter hates to wear clothes, though understands she has to wear something in order to get by. Her wardrobe is almost entirely hoodies, jackets, tanktops, jeans, short tube dresses, and corsets. She owns only one pair of shoes, a pair of beat-up military-style boots that she wears with everything, whether they match or not. Jupiter keeps an extra tanktop and elastic shorts in a pouch tied twice around her neck. When she shifts into a snake, she can drag the tiny pouch along with her on her back. PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION LIKES; honesty, destruction, manipulation, power, lust, being alone, urban life, street life, music, shifting, snakes, reptiles, graffiti, sunsets, sleep DISLIKES; attending school, authority, zoos, hospitals, psyche evaluations, dancing, perfume, shopping, most clothes in general, reading, blue, cold weather, her foster families STRENGTHS; very venomous snake bite, manipulative, intelligent WEAKNESSES; can be self-destructive, of little weight and strength (especially as a human), alone QUIRKS; does not eat human food very well, excluding some junk foods; not hygienic; poorer than most because she abhors/doesn't rely on her foster family FEARS; open water and swimming; dying GOALS; survival, finding a place where she either belongs or is isolated from society, achieving ultimate satisfaction through vengeance PERSONALITY; A girl of two halves made into a whole. Jupiter's life started as a tiny cell injected with DNA and grown into a human-animal embryo. Born a lab rat, grown up as a lab rat, Jupiter grew up without a sense of what a real human being was. The scientist group in special charge of her could not be called humans, at least, not humans like the ones she walks past every day in regular society. She had no presence to know that she was not treated as human but treated as an experiment, but she did know she existed different from her caretakers somehow. As a result, she embraced every part of herself. She did not struggle with an animal side and a human side. She grew up knowing the snake and the human as one. When the courts ruled that she "go free" and set her up with a foster family, that attitude didn't change. Even in the presence of radically different human beings who see her remarkable DNA as a curse, her identity hasn't changed. What makes Jupiter's identity troublesome is that she's embraced her animal DNA perhaps too much. In fact, some days it seems like she's more animal than human. Cunning, opportunistic, and destructive only begin to describe Jupiter's personality. Interacting with her fellow shifters in the facility, she learned to take what she could when she could get it with no compromise. But far from taking things because she wants them, she snatches up everything before her for two reasons: a) because she can, because there's no rational logic behind it, and b) because she can destroy it. Jupiter is the classic example of someone with a major destructive complex: she takes a small thrill in seeing the world and its people crumble, but it's an even greater thrill to lash out. Like a furious child shattering precious objects in vengeance and rage, she loves the act and the feeling of venting all her power to obliterate something. She does this in a physical way: it's noted that as a child, she often managed to slither out of her room as a snake and then tear up a whole room of scientific reports. She also manages to destroy immaterial things, such as emotions, however, by manipulating a person into trusting and loving her and then stomping them to the ground, often times through elaborate and cruel plans. Some journals recovered from the lab mention rare instances where, having nothing around her to destroy, she would yank out her own hair. One must watch for any self-destructive tendencies that might fully develop in the future. She is incredibly smart and manipulative, despite her unassuming appearance. One scientist frequently called her the facility's "Eve" in his journals as a running joke. Some tests within the facility recorded her logic and analytical skills as very high, with her intuitive skills at an average shifter level. Frequent tests showed her ability to think in a way very much outside the box, such as when she played dead in order to escape grab the attention of the testers and escape a maze. Though she experienced little of it in her three-year-old child environment, Jupiter is not without some compassion. Her innate ability to manipulate the feelings of others into a sense of trust and loving is proof enough that she can maintain some sort of emotional connection with another being. During shifter interactions, Jupiter often reacted aggressively when others encroached upon her personal space or territory, but some reptilian shifters were able to garner a very physical and complicated interaction with her that often led to some form of playing. Her time living with three different foster families, too, helped her gain some knowledge and feeling of love. It should be noted that Jupiter does exhibit a very fierce and physical type of interaction that cannot yet be categorized as love or another aspect of her destructive complex. Around women Jupiter switches into an extremely promiscuous behavior. She often forces herself onto other women she finds herself physically attracted to, and isn't adverse to admitting it. Though she is not a virgin and has had sex with women, she has had sexual relations with men, though these instances with men appear now to have had ulterior motives. She is almost fearless - or her fears are buried deep within her. She is not restrained personally by social norms and pressures, such as the need to be feminine, succeed economically, or prove her worth to her foster family(s). In fact, Jupiter appears to live entirely independent of herself. Her constant attitude of wandering, lethargy, and escape alone into the urban life suggests a hatred of authority. She is almost the opposite of feminine; she exerts a suffocating, masculine behavior to the point where her thoughts even resemble a man's. She thinks constantly of sex and violence with complete honesty and complete acceptance of it. She wears her pride on her sleeve and loudly proclaims her greatness. She needs an almost abrupt honesty and uncensoring from others, much like her own, and a practical, to-the-point relationship. Complications annoy her to no end and often lead to her manipulation of the relationship. CHRONOLOGICAL TIMELINE CURRENT RESIDENCE; Her current foster family lives in a house in the residential area; Jupiter sometimes rents out a hotel room when she doesn't want to stay the night there. CURRENT OCCUPATION; high school drop-out, thief (mostly from the accounts of her new and old foster families) HISTORY; As far as we know, Jupiter was created from a cell within the SHIFT labs. She existed there under the supervision and testing of the scientific staff until she turned three, at the time of the Supreme Court investigation and her subsequent release. She was an extremely confused child at the time of her release into modern society: she believed the entire trial and proceedings of her release thereafter was an elaborate test designed by her overseers, that somehow the strangers around her were actors in a grand scheme. An extended physical and mental evaluation yielded troubling results, but these results were echoed by varying degrees across all released shifters. She showed the signs of destructive - and other animal - tendencies that would later bloom into full-fledged mental health problems. Despite problems, she was ruled as a "decent" mental health case, likely because she was so accepting of herself, and sent to a man to arrange her foster care. This man, it should be noted, was and is extremely prejudiced against the shifter race. His interactions with Jupiter were often impatient, suggesting why foster arrangements for her were difficult, tedious, and not always the best suited for her case. Four six years she was made to live with the Miller family with frequent visits from therapists. For a time, it looked like Jupiter might live a normal life. Her mental health was going at a slow but steady upward trend, and though she participated in many fights at school, hated school, and exhibited rude behavior to classmates and teachers, she still completed grades at an alarming rate. She was two years ahead of her classmates by the age of nine. Then, an unexplained phenomenon: just as puberty was beginning to set in, Jupiter became more and more unsettled. She began to shift back and forth as she pleased, against social conduct or the authority of home or school. She voiced honest and cruel opinions often. She started to burn stacks upon stacks of important family papers in the fireplace. The Miller family, unable to take the sudden change, especially with the father's midlife crisis, pointed Jupiter back to foster care arrangement. Psychologists attempted to explain to Jupiter a lighter, more acceptable reason for the exchange, but Jupiter saw through the deception instantly and recognized the denial for what it was. She went to the Carper family for three years. At the age of twelve, she then went to the Hu family for two years. Her current foster family, the Michaels, officially adopted her and has taken her under their wing for the past two years. The Michaels consist of father and mother and an older adopted son. Unfortunately, problems have also arrived within this family. Jupiter was enrolled into the local high school but has since dropped out due to poor attendance. According to the parents, she rarely communicates with them or stays at the house: her typical lifestyle is to leave the house early, take money from their purses and/or accounts, stay in shadier streets, and then come home late. She may sleep at home only two or three nights a week. The parents frequently try and catch her and bring her home, sometimes with success, sometimes with failure. They say they are running out of options, but they don't want to resort to sending her to a mental facility. For now, psyche evaluations are mandatory in the offices downtown once a week. So far, she has shown up for only three-fourths of these evals, barely enough to avoid being considered uncooperative and sent to a mental facility. |
