Origin

• Jean Grey was born the younger daughter of Professor John Grey and his wife,Elaine. She has an older sister, Sara.
• Her childhood, at least early on, was uneventful. Until she was 10, and she witnessed her best friend, Annie Richardson, get hit by a car.
• The shock of the event caused her psychic powers to manifest for the first time, out of control, and she found herself sharing Annie's death. The event traumatized her, leaving her unable to speak or even be social at all.
• Desperate to find help, Professor Grey turned to a fellow academic, Professor Charles Xavier.
• Using his powers of persuasion, he was able to coax Jean out of her trauma, though her powers didn't manifest fully for some time.
• Using Jean as a case study, Professor Xavier then formed a school for Gifted Children, with Jean as one of the first students.
• Jean was kept out of training sessions at first, until her own powers started to manifest in earnest.
• With the Professor's persuasive abilities blossoming into full-blown telepathy, it was soon apparent that Jean's abilities were that and more, as she could also use telekinetic powers.
• Training her and himself both in their abilities, Charles kept Jean back from the other students at first, until she was ready. Then, she was put in with the other students.
• Jean did practice extensively in the use of her powers, though the limit to her field work was just the occasional strange encounter in Salem Center. Even then she was keeping her power use to a minimum, to avoid suspicion being drawn to the school.
• Eventually, she did graduate, and decided to go her own way in the world, just to explore what was out there.
• With her academic credentials, she could have gone anywhere, but in this case, she kept her powers low-key and went to Gotham University, majoring in psychiatry.
• While she has her powers, she's been intentionally keeping a low profile, not wishing to provoke the mysterious Bat-Man that tales speak of… but it isn't in her nature to stay hidden.

Psyche

• Thanks to her experiences at the Xavier school, Jean has gone from being a recluse to being exceptionally open and confident. Though she can sometimes get in over her head, she has every faith that things will work out. It remains to be seen if Gotham will hammer that out of her or not.
• Whether it's meta rights or just standing up for a cause, when Jean invests herself in a cause, she doesn't go for half-measures. Particularly in regards to her friends, and if her former classmates or the Professor needed her, she wouldn't hesitate to help them however she could.
• Jean is aware of the amount of potential power she has inside her. Though she hasn't released it all at once yet, it does occasionally frighten her, and she worries about what could happen if she did lose control of her powers. She always tries to make sure that she controls the power, and not the other way around.
• Jean can be decidedly stubborn once she's set her mind on a course of action. And sometimes it can be for the worse, as she can be quite set to solve a problem or take a certain course of action.
• Jean, at her heart, is a curious sort. It's why she left the school in the first place, and went out into the world to explore its light and darkness. She might get in over her head, but she's really wanting to see it all.
• The core motivator for Jean is a sense of right. Professor Xavier instilled in her that metahumans have a right and responsibility to make this world a better place for those less gifted. By coming to Gotham, she hopes to beard the metaphorical dragon in its den, and try to make things better.
• Jean's goals are to try and use her talents, meta or not, to help straighten out Gotham City. At least to get rid of the undercurrents of hopelessness that grasp the city at its heart. On the larger scale, she strives to have metas be accepted, as there are numerous groups out to get people just for being different, but one small step at a time.

Powers

• Jean can use her telepathic powers in a variety of ways, not the least of which is probing into someone's thoughts. A powerful will or psyche (like Batman), or another mentalist such as Emma Frost, would be able to resist an unwilling intrusion. She can also form links of surface thought communication, allowing for coordination in team efforts.
• Jean can attack multiple individuals with a powerful psychic blast, the mental equivalent of having a sledgehammer applied to your head. Needless to say, this can be traumatic to most individuals, but those with strong wills or psychic training can resist it far more easily, while physical strength wouldn't do much against it.
• While Jean can take control of minds, she is often loathe to do so. Normally it would be just a case of a single mind that she could control for a short period, but she could instead (and prefers) cloud a group of minds to obscure the presence of herself and others, which can come in handy after a superheroing event and allowing them to vanish away.
• Jean also has a mastery of telekinesis, and uses that far more than her telepathy. She can lift a weight of up to 40 tons, and fly through the air at speeds up to 50 miles per hour. She can also do fine manipulation of objects, as if using her hands (though she has no tactile senses through her telekinesis), and she can lift multiple objects at once.
• Jean can strike out with a psychic hammer of physical force, blasting an opponent with a force up to that of forty tons. Though she would rarely use her power at full strength, normally finding it useful to just use a lower degree of power against most opponents. She has trouble targeting multiple people with telekinesis, often focusing on one opponent at a time that way.
• Jean instinctively uses her telekinesis as a personal protection of sorts, absorbing the impact of bullets or the equivalent without much effort. By concentrating her efforts, she can increase this amount to even resist tank shells or artillery, though that can be a mental strain if kept up for long. Additionally, she can expand the field, though it tends to be weaker if she's protecting more people, able to reliably stop bullets… but a strong blast would cause the barrier to shatter.

Advantages

• Though she doesn't always do this, Jean can 'speed learn' certain skills through her telepathic talents. As a result, she has an unusual collection of skills available at her disposal (though the main ones are outlined under skills). While she might gain the actual knowledge of what to do, the physical ability TO do it is something else.
• Jean actually has a full-ride scholarship for Gotham University, which does allow for room and board as well as classes and a little bit of spending money. She can also use campus facilities as a student.
• Professor Charles Xavier is, in many ways, a mentor and friend, and she regards him as a father-figure. In return, he looks on her as a daughter, and they correspond frequently. If she was in serious trouble, she might be able to call on him for help, but considering the school itself, it might not necessarily be available. Besides, she wants to do things on her own merits!

Skills

• In addition to her intuitive understanding of the human psyche, Jean has been getting training from Professor Xavier as well as the university itself. As a result, she has quite a bit of practical knowledge about psychology and psychiatry.
• She's not a practicing MD by any means, but with the training that Jean received in her stint at Professor Xavier's school, she has the equivalent knowledge of a paramedic as far as first aid is concerned.
• Though she isn't that much of a scrapper, Jean is trained in the basics of hand to hand combat, and practices aikido as a form of self-defense. Though she couldn't hold her own against a real martial artist, she's more than good enough to handle the random mugger.
• Jean, due to the fact that she liked to get alone without other thoughts, took up piloting shortly after getting to the school. When she was old enough she did, in fact, get her pilot's license, and keeps up with it, if nothing else to get away from the thoughts of everyone around her. Additionally, she is trained to drive most varieties of cars, trucks, and motorcycles, mainly through psychically 'picking up' tips from others.

Flaws

• Jean is aware of the enormous potential power she has, and on some levels it terrifies the daylights out of her. As a result, she tends to keep herself reined in with her powers. Because if she cuts loose, she's afraid that she wouldn't be able to stop.
• Jean is, despite her abilities, only human, and if she pushes herself too far can lose access to her powers temporarily. She can recover them given rest and recuperation, but she tries not to push herself too hard or too fast.
• In order for Jean to use her telekinetic powers, she needs to be conscious. In addition, she can be blindsided if she is not expecting an attack or threat, as she doesn't always have her telepathy on either.
• Jean tends to keep her telepathy under a fairly close control, just because of the sheer number of people that she can overhear mentally. As a result, this can result in mental 'white noise' that can be very distracting, though she is disciplined enough to tune it out in most cases. Still, it could be exploited.
