Physical Description

The best way to describe Jain is as an average Plain Jane. Copper skin, brown eyes, dark hair kept buzzcut close to her scalp, Jain really isn't memorable even without her psionic abilities. She's the type of woman you expect to walk by delivering mail without anyone giving her a second glance but when asked they couldn't tell you what she looked like beyond existing.

Jain is a medium height and build. She is neither weak nor incredibly strong. There are no finely toned looking muscles to show off nor is she extra curvy with lots of squish. Her skin is unblemished as all the identifying makers such as freckles or birthmarks were all removed long ago to better make her blend in on missions.

Due to her job, Jain rarely wears her Pilot uniform unless attending official matters. So for clothes, she tends to wear whatever is in style but not flashy or ostentatious. She does not wear any jewelry or accessories though. Nor does she have any piercings or tattoos.

Personality

Jain is a quiet, unassuming woman. She tends to keep to herself and keep her head down about things. That being said she is a masterful observer. Perhaps it is because she is the girl who is easily forgotten and overlooked in the crowd or perhaps it is because she is just that good but she catches even the smallest details and always remembers them.

She is good at keeping a poker face and rolling with the punches whatever comes her way. Jain thinks quickly on her feet though she usually reserves commenting on something until she's come up with the perfect zinger to shut someone up. She really doesn't like people who are unnecessarily cruel or violent. While she despises confrontation, she is the type that will bide her time and wait until she finds the perfect time to strike.

Jain is also a secret nurturer. She likes caring for people and doing the little things that would make them happy though usually this is all done at random or in secret. She is not fond of the recognition that usually comes with doing good deeds. She much prefers to be anonymous as an act of kindness needs no hero just someone willing to make the extra effort.

Her greatest fear in life is being forgotten or left behind by others. She has sacrificed a great deal for her career and her place in life. All of that begins to add up and build to the point where it either makes you stronger or it crushes you. For now she's keeping afloat but she has no idea what she'll do when the day comes that she is completely and forever alone.

Things
  • Surprisingly really optimistic about life. Always is looking for the brightside and will try to find thre good things that happen each day to hold onto.
  • Suffers from anxiety, loneliness, and a fear of being left behind and forgotten.
  • Known as Fish-Killer and really hates that name.
  • Is a secret, surprise gifter. Jain likes to make people's days brighter when they least expect it. This is not limited to people she knows. Strangers deserve love too.
  • Abstains from vices such as drinking, drugs, and sex outside of work because she doesn't like the sense of loss of control that she has in many of the things she does with work. Thanks to her good friend Ren she's been introduced to the benefits of drugs and how relaxing they can be in the right amounts. It certainly has been helping with her anxiety of returning from missions.

Magic/Abilities

Eidetic memory: Not so much a magical ability so much as a talent, Jain possesses the ability to retain large amounts of information after only a short amount of exposure. She makes a point to remember even the smallest details and could easily recreate them in her mind's eye to share with someone else or verbalize them aloud when prompted to.

Telepathy: Jain is a very, very strong telepath. Her mind is a steel trap able to form heavy walls of protection against mental and psionic torture, a useful skill should she ever get caught while on a mission. She is able to clearly and strongly telepathically communicate when necessary at specified checkpoints with her dragon and superiors, allowing for all communications to be kept hidden and untraceable.

Mnemokinesis: A branch of telepathy that allows Jain to affect the memories of herself and others. Jain can affect the memories of those around her without coming into physical contact though she must be within sight-line of them. She has a cybernetic implant at the base of her skull that allows this to not only be monitored but also certain branching sub-abilities to be shut off by her superiors.

Memory Erasure: Erase memories from herself or others.
  • Amnesia: Selectively erase any unwanted memories.
    Jain has used this ability in a bind when a mission has failed or come close to falling apart. This ability is heavily monitored and controlled by her chip. In the field she is given control over it with discretion though she is expected to use it only in an emergency. There is a slew of paperwork she has to feel out afterwards as well as submitting to examination to ensure what she did was justified. Depending also on the nature of her mission she has also been made to use it against herself either to protect herself while undercover from being discovered or to keep things she's done from herself (see Traumatize).
  • Manual Reset: Dump all previous memories so that one may start fresh.
    She uses this ability to slip between identities. Jain is unable to use this ability without proper clearance first and her implanted chip's restrictions being lifted. The chip provides a fail-safe that is able to download the memories that she deletes for two purposes. One is so that when her mission is over she can return to being herself again but the second and primary reason is so that her memories can be monitored and sifted through by her handlers. Most of her missions are information gathering though so this is only used when she is expected to be in the field for long periods of time and interacting with informants or suspects.
  • Psychic Disguise: Remove herself from the memories of others.
    This is Jain's most used ability. It allows her to walk through a crowd without being noticed or seen. Anyone that does easily forgets as if she had a "notice-me-not" bubble around her. She uses this ability so often and so naturally that she actually has to concentrate on not using it instead of the other way around.

Memory Implantation: Implant memories into the minds of others, which could either be pre-existing memories from someone else, or false memories created by the user.
  • Paramnesia: Distort or erase the memories of herself or others, so that one can believe fantasies or lies without giving off cerebral implications of deception.
    Another one of Jain's highly monitored abilities that her chip keeps special tabs on. She does have the discretion to use this as needed in the field and has been at times gone in with the intention of using it as her mission directs. A lot of paperwork follows the use of it though due to how dangerous and easy it can be to hide changes she has made.
  • Presence Insertion: Place oneself in memories of the target (and act as a loved one or old friend).
    On deep, long-term undercover missions, Jain has used this ability to better integrate herself into a group so that she can get closer and get the necessary information to get back out again. She is very careful to not make herself too integral a part of someone's memories as it provides complications. Becoming someone's girlfriend and then having none of their friends know or remember you creates a massive web of issues that spirals faster and faster out of control.
  • Traumatize: Implant twisted memories within others to drive them into insanity.
    Her weakest sub-ability of her mnemokinesis. Jain lacks the creative cruelness to create such memories. If she is expected to use this ability, her superiors traditionally give her the memories she is expected to implant. She will perform this duty with the same attention to detail and care as all things she does as a Seeker though this one probably affects and upsets her the most once she is herself again provided those memories haven't been taken from her.

Relationships

Family: [REDACTED]

Cabal Vindstrom: The best friend and coworker that has always had her back even if it's been a whole bucket full of tough love. Somewhere along the way though and she couldn't tell you when or why or how, Jain fell in love with him. She's never admitted it but her heart unequivocally belongs to him.

Jesse River: Jain's other dear friend and coworker. He makes her laugh and lighten up despite their ups and downs. Without Cabal and Jesse she wouldn't know what to do with her life. They're her lifelines in a sea of forgetting people. DECEASED

Erenys Dei: A new friend that is quickly becoming very near and dear to her heart. Their first meeting was on the very heels of her finding out of Jesse's demise but Ren has been nothing but kind and sweet to her.

Rasa: Jain's dragon that keeps her on a very tight leash. Even when undercover or perhaps especially then, Rasa is monitoring the link between the two of them. He is a medium-sized dragon with a very slim and serpentine build as opposed to many of his bulkier cousins. He has two sets of wings though the second set are metal.

Ponyo I-XIII: Jain's former feeder fish may their souls rest in the great stream.

Mitra and Amice: Bequeathed to her in Jesse's will.

History

Jain has a family though they do not remember she ever existed. She has since removed the memories of her from them to make work and her absences easier on them. While she does try to forget them and leave them to their own lives, every so often Jain does find herself on their street watching them from a distance just to see that they are still happy and okay.

She joined Candidacy quite late in comparison to her peers because her abilities made it rather difficult to pick up on what she was capable of doing. It was actually a Pilot that would visit her family's grocery store that finally caught onto what was going on after having experienced several déjà vu moments of knowing the Dau's had a daughter and then temporarily forgetting and having to remember it every time he left and returned as if waking from a fog.

At 19, Jain started her training where she neither excelled spectacularly nor failed miserably. Like so many other things in her life, she was average. She made it by with ups and downs. Stages 1 and 2 proved to be simple enough though Stages 3 and 4 were much more trying. Working in groups meant heavy amounts of concentration to be remembered and recognized. Following commands was simple enough but leading a group was practically impossible for her.

Jain graduated recently at 24 and has been working as a Seeker ever since.
