Given Name: Jamie Madrox
Codename: either Madrox, or Multiple Man. He prefers Madrox
Age: 20
Detailed Description of Powers: By enacting a kinetic force upon his body Jamie is able to create what he calls “dupes”, or duplicates. There are, however, a long list of complications and limitations to his power. First of all, they are not drones, each one has free will and their own personality. This brings about the second point: each dupe is a manifestation of a facet of Jamie’s personality. There are angry dupes, sad dupes, and everything in between. Also, Jamie cannot control which dupe he projects. As great as it would be to pull out “aggressive Madrox” after getting punched in the face, he is equally likely to have a blubbering mess who curls into the fetal position.
But, having the ability is useful if the dupes listen and cooperate. Each action, memory, and experience that happens to a dupe is given to the original after said dupe has been reabsorbed. For example, in comic canon, Jamie sent dupes to do things like attend law school, take paramedic training, learn fighting styles, etc. So, Jamie can, in his short lifetime, accomplish a whole lot. I plan only to include skills in:
-Lock Picking
-Basic Combat skills
-First Aid and CPR
-Some knowledge in weapons training
If I plan to include more, I will add them sparingly and not to the extent of being an unfair player.
Originally from: Los Alamos, but very quickly relocated to Kansas
Known Family: Dr. Daniel Madrox, Father (deceased). Mother (deceased)
Physical Description: Brown hair, blue eyes. Average height, some muscle build. Known to wear a green shirt with a yellow tree branch design. His clothes are kinetically absorbent to prevent all but purposeful multiplication.
Personality: Jamie has a very outward and joking personality. He is eager to please. He is unsure and dislikes using his abilities due to the unpredictable nature of his powers.
Other: (Feel free to include any extra information here, such as likes, dislikes, habits, hobbies... etc.) Jamie fancies himself a bit of a detective and takes it upon himself to solve other people’s problems. This backfires often.
Bio: Born near the Los Alamos research center, Jamie’s powers were most likely advanced by the radioactive influences around the scientific center. When the doctor slapped him after he was born it produced an identical baby, much to the surprise of Jamie’s parents. Charles Xavier, a friend of the Madroxes, suggested they move to Kansas to raise Jamie in private. Jamie’s father developed the kinetic absorbing suit, but the family was approached by Damian Tryp who wished look after Jamie. They refused, and shortly thereafter Jamie’s parents were killed by a tornado. Jamie was able to maintain his home and live alone, but his suit began to malfunction and he moved to Muir Island to assist Moira MacTaggart with her research. After a few X-Men adventures, Jamie has taken up permanent X-Mansion residence.
And in the Interview:
Why did you choose our site?: I’ve played here before, as Omega Red.
What about this character do you like?: Jamie is the opposite of Omega Red, and it optimizes the play experience to be different people in my opinion.
Have you ever RPed before? Where?: (If you wish, you can include a link to other RPGs here) Yes, I have RPed here, as well as a brief stint at DCevolved, as the Scarecrow, which is unfortunately quite inactive.
I realize that this may be a hectic time to post up a new character. I am in no hurry to have Madrox approved, or included in the current storyline.
Please write a sample post for the character you want below:
Jamie knew it was a bad idea to walk while trying to read, especially something he was so enthralled in.
“If kryptonite is radioactive, how come Jimmy Olsen doesn’t get cancer from taunting Superman like that?” He asked himself. He replied:
“Because, if Jimmy Olsen died we wouldn’t have anymore great stories about “super-insert anyone”.”
The dupe that Jamie had created to guide him while he was walking around the Mansion was a great conversationalist it seemed, and it was good to have a helping hand while multitasking. He then ran into a closed door, and hit his head on the ground. When he opened his eyes he saw three Jamies, instead of the usual one extra.
“What the…? What’s wrong with you?” he yelled at who he thought was the cruel prankster Jamie.
“Dude, dude, dude. Dude, you’ve just been Madrox’d. How d’you like that? I’m going to MTV with that one.” He said back. Another Madrox, in tears laughing:
“Oh my god! ‘Madrox’d’ that’s like that show, with the, that’s soooo funny! Oh my…oh…I can’t…breath…soooo awesome.”
Jamie promptly reabsorbed the rather troublesome college frat boys. The third Madrox reached out his hand to help him up.
“Thanks, sometimes I can’t stand these guys, you know, me, myselves…?” he said to the grinning duplicate of himself.
“I just don’t know why you live like this. Why bother?”
Jamie paused, unsure.
“You aren’t going to kill me are you?”
The dupe laughed and began to pull up his shirt and unzip his pants.
“Nonono, don’t get undressed!” Jamie yelled, as the dupe ran off totally nude.
“Hohoho…oh, god no…” he sighed.
