Personality
Charming:
Jan has a smooth, easy personality that endears him to many people. He's friendly and takes interest in the affairs of others, genuinely listening to his friends. He's got a sharp wit and excellent banter, generally making him entertaining in conversation.
Confident:
Coming from priviledged birth, Jan is generally confident when it comes to every day things. He stands by his decisions, good or bad, and accepts the consequences of either. It is evident in his bearing.
Hedonistic:
There is definitely a love for the finer things in life. Jan quite enjoys being comfortable and pampered, and loves to ensure his friends have the same comforts.
Socially Adept:
Growing up, Jan had plenty of role models who were confident and moved easily through social circles and interactions. He picked up on these mannerisms, developing them alongside his own. This allows him to be aware of his flaws and trust in his strengths. This keeps him from falling into the trap of battling egos.
Character Sheet
Powers
Enhanced Body:
His physical strength has increased with his mutation - he's able to lift up to a ton over his head. His stamina has increased as well, allowing him to keep up with world-class atheletes and dancers.
Enhanced Healing:
With the betterment of his body, Jan is able to heal most non life-threatening injuries at a quicker pace than normal humans. Bruises heal in hours, cuts in days, broken bones in a couple of weeks. Severe injuries will of course, require medical assistance.
Enhanced Reflexes:
Jan's reflexes and agility exceed those of maximum human potential by a small amount. That creates a great synergy when paired with his ability to anticipate future events, allowing him to perform athletic feats of avoidance and timing beyond what his physical abilities normally would.
Limited Precognition:
Jan's primary power is that he is able to see a moment or so into the future, allowing him to respond and react to actions targeting him or his immediate location. Attacks are crystal clear, providing him an opportunity to counter or avoid harm. Other, less aggressive actions involving him are often more hazy, but still are made known to him. There are some caveats, of course...
Skills
Capoeira:
In learning dance, Jan also studied Capoeria, becoming quite adept at the martial art.
Dance:
Jan has spent his life learning to dance. Ballet, tap, ballroom, contemporary, jazz and swing. With his precognition and physical capabilities, he does well in learning new forms as well.
Degree:
Jan earned his Bachelor's of Fine Arts from Julliard.
Languages:
Jan is fluent in Dutch, Italian, French and English.
Resources
Name Recognition:
Fans of Broadway musicals and dance performances will likely have heard of Jan. His connections within the musical theater circles is rather extensive.
Wealth:
Jan comes from a rather wealthy family. While not among the world's most wealthy people, he does not want for anything. Combined with his success as a dancer on Broadway and elsewhere, he's got quite the estate.
Weaknesses
Blindspot:
His precognition does have some limitations. Robots and synthetics are nigh impossible for him to 'read'. He has to rely on his training to best defend himself - no precognition of incoming attacks. Enhanced heroes and villains are also harder to navigate - they can be problematic for him to plan for.
