Personality

Compassionate:
Jay is committed to ensuring nobody else has to experience what he went through (torturous government experiments and having to live as a refugee from his own country). He is keenly aware of suffering and applies every tool available to stop it.
Driven:
After directly experiencing the results of a corrupt, unchecked government, Jay is possessed of a seemingly limitless energy in his pursuit of truth... and a better tomorrow.
Upbeat:
Jay is generally optimistic and supportive, focused on finding solutions through a problem.
Character Sheet
Powers
ExpandClick to expand.
Intangibility:
Able to phase himself and his clothing at will, rendering Jay impervious to any physical attacks and most forms of energy weapons. The power also has an autonomic behavior, protecting Jay from threats he isn't even consciously aware of.
Invisibility:
Partial invisibility as an application of intangibility.
Skills
ExpandClick to expand.
Computers:
Construction and maintenance of sophisticated computer systems to support his citizen journalism organization. Hacking skills to penetrate adversarial networks, exploit software, and manipulate hardware.
Espionage:
Tradecraft developed to support journalistic pursuits: Dead drops, surreptitious meetings, evasion, infiltration, and related techniques.
Journalism:
Following in the footsteps of his hero, Lois Lane, Jay learned to cultivate a variety of sources and dig for information powerful people want to keep secret.
Leadership:
Leading a network of citizen journalists/hacktivists to expose knowledge the corporate media won't touch.
Stealth:
Jay makes the most of his ability to walk through walls, avoiding security patrols, bypassing camera-laden corridors, and walking undetected through grids of laser sensors.
Resources
ExpandClick to expand.
Sources:
Networks of contacts, databases, and fellow organizations can often point Jay in the direction of a vital clue.
The Truth:
Distributed server network and social media presence to manage anonymous/underground hacktivist collective.
Weaknesses
ExpandClick to expand.
Tangibility:
In order to stand on or interact with a solid surface while intangible, some part of Jay (the bottoms of his feet or the tips of his fingers, for instance) must become briefly solid, leaving him susceptible to things like trapped/tampered floors or interfaces. A precisely-aimed bullet might also do the trick.
Trauma:
Having barely survived his mother's death, the sublimation of his homeland to autocracy, and painful experiments inflicted on himself and the people around him, Jay conceals a lot of unresolved trauma.
