Hex's Trunk:
HEX'S TRUNK:
Jinny has a trunk that comes with a lot of problems. It contains items collected by her ancestor, Jonah, over the course of his adventures. It has a LOT of things in it, and folks of power can sense the intense danger and power coming from many of the things inside. Jonah either collected these through his years of fighting evil, time-traveling, and dimension hopping, or confiscated them during the same. Some were gifts from friends and allies, while others were gained in other ways. Here are a few of her most used items, all of which feature fairly heavily in her comic series, Young Justice.
Adam Strange's Ray Guns: She has a pair of pulp sci-fi ray guns that are less stylized versions of Adam Strange's. They are powerful laser blasters that can melt steel and punch holes through thick concrete. She can change the power on them to simply knock people unconcious. They don't seem to run out of juice, as they run off of some kind of futuristic hoojoobattery. (She doesn't understand how it works, but it seems to!)
Atom Belt: She has one of the early prototypes of the Atom's belt, and who knows how Jonah got it. When worn she can do short bursts of size-changing. She can keep up changes for twenty minutes or so, but after that it needs to be plugged into some kind of power source to recharge. Generally it takes longer to recharge the weaker the power source. An outlet would take a few days, while a reactor would be moments. She can shrink to the size of an ant, or grow up to about twenty feet tall. She grows in strength when she shrinks, as well, able to lift cars at her tiniest.
H-E-R-O Dial: She has one of the Dials. It looks like an old rotary phone. If the word HERO is dialed, then she transforms into a randomly powered superhero for an hour or so. Her powers tend to cap out at B-Lister level, but they can be useful if used cleverly. She might end up with flight and superstrength, or perhaps speed, or metal control. The possibilities are endless...but brief! The ST of the scene, if there is one, must consent to what powers she gains. If it is just an STless scene with other players, they need to give the thumbs-up instead. If the folks want, three powers are chosen from https://www.randomlists.com/superpowers each time.
Neron's Candle: These candles once belonged to the demon Neron. They can each be melted down once, forcing a being to appear before her. Neron famously used them to summon Earth's supervillains to him for bargains. The person would vanish from where they are and appear before her. They are pulled through the ether and appear in front of her, though they are not bound. They could kill her if they wanted. The player, obviously, must consent to being summoned. (The character might not be so happy about it, though). Each candle can be used once, and she has an indeterminate, but low, number of them.
She has many, many, many other items in the trunk. Some could level cities, or summon powerful beings, or banish them. They might take lives, or steal souls. The trunk acts as a MacGuffin Creator. Plots can revolve around items being needed, or being sought, or stolen. Things to help plots or characters can all be found. Anything not mentioned above needs to be request on a case-by-case basis by staff, and are in use only for that scene or plot.
Legacy:
She is the descendant of Jonah Hex, a renowned adventurer. With people in the right set, that blood brings some merit. Those people are more likely to listen to her or help her, for starters. It opens doors that might, otherwise, remain closed.
Shotgun:
Where she comes from you're the weird one if you DON'T have a shotgun in the cab of your truck. She has a well-maintained pump shotgun, along with buckshot, riot control rounds, and slugs. She had more guns back home, but she's far from Texas.
Truck:
Jinny has a truck. It might not seem like much, but that red hunk of junk can take the kind of hits you would not expect a normal vehicle to take. She fixes it up constantly, and some of the internal parts likely should be in high-performance vehicles. It goes faster and longer then it should, and it is a tough old bird. The bulk of it is a 1980 Ford F150. It belonged to her grandfather.
