Jean-Paul Beaubier is not much of a hero, luckily he's also no villain. He's a man out for himself. He has fame, he has wealth, and what more does the orphan kid really need? Perhaps with the right convincing he may one day pick a side, but for the moment he's in it for himself.

Personality

Click to expand.

Confident:
Some might say over-confident bordering on arrogant. Jean-Paul is usually pretty sure of his abilities and skills and doesn't like ebing questioned on whether he's capable of doing something.

Defensive:
Jean-Paul had a rough childhood, and it left him particularly defensive. When he percieves he's being attacked he has a tendancy to lash out and let his tonuge get the better of him.

Francophile:
Jean-Paul loves all things French. It's one of the few anchoring roots he has in hislife and he holds on to it. He can get a bit snobbish about it, too.

Protective:
Once he decides you're a friend or confidant, which is a difficult line to get over, Jean-Paul becomes fiercely protective. It can get over-bearing even if he generally means well.

Character Sheet

Powers

Click to expand.

Concussive Blasts:
Jean-Paul can focus is photokinesis into concussive blasts of photonic energy. These are hard for him to control the strength of and tend to explode with quite a bit of force, being potentially lethal to the average human.

Flight:
By directing the atomic motion in his body against gravity, Jean-Paul can both fly and levitate. His super speed restrictions in flight are the same as all other forms of motion.

G-Force Compensation:
Jean-Paul can automatically compensate for any G-forces acting upon his body and ignore their effects.

Heightened Reflexes:
Jean-Paul's reflexes are attuned to operate at super sonic speeds. Due to the way his speed powers operate he can make immediate sharp turns and react to obstacles and attacks even moving at high speeds.

Photokinesis:
Jean Paul can radiate light at a strength of about 500,000 candela. He can't tune how much light he gives off, it's that much or nothing. If in contact with his twin sister, the strength of this light output doubles to 1 million candela, or the strength of a lighthouse. More than enough to blind anything standing too close.

Quickened Metabolism:
Jean-Paul's metabolism works at a higher rate of speed than normal humans. So he can heal from wounds in about a quarter of the time it takes a normal person to do so. He also has to eat a lot more.

Speed Based Durability:
As a strange side effect of forcinghis atoms to move in tandem he also increases their molecular bonds. In laymen's terms, the faster Jean-Paul is going the more durable he is. While not using his powers he's no more durable than a very fit human with no powers, while at mach speeds he can use his own body as a physical projectile without harming himself. This is also how he keeps from harming himself with atmospheric friction while moving at high speeds, though Earth's atmosphere starts to overcome the durability at speeds over Mach 10.

Super Speed:
Jean-Paul can move at supersonic speeds. This is actually done by forcing all the atomic motion in his body to go in the same direction. This allows for superhuman speeds through all forms of motion including flight and swimming. He can also move portions of his body at super speed, such as speeding up his arms for rapid fire punches. In Earth's atmosphere he's able to reach speeds of Mach 10 without injuring himself. Theoretically he could go much faster, approaching the speed of light, especially in a vacuum, but it would wreak havoc on his body and the area around him. He can carry others with him, but without a protective suit or powers he has to limit himself to 60 mph.

He can also perform some mental tasks at increased speed, such as reading.

Skills

Acrobatics:
Having spent a few years as a trapeze artist in the circus, Jean-Paul is actually quite the skilled acrobat.

Aerial Combat:
Jean-Paul has spent quite a bit of time perfecting fighting in while in the air mid-flight and using the ability to move in all three dimensions to his advantage.

Business:
While he may not have the formal education, Jean-Paul has a natural head for business. He knows a good investment when he sees one and he's shown to be quite shrewd in promoting is own brand and making a small fortune off of it.

Language:
Jean-Paul considers French to be his native language, but he speaks both French and English with perfect fluency. His French also has no trace of French accent to it, nor vice versa.

Larceny:
Jean-Paul picked up more than a few illicit tricks during his time on the streets. He's has some practice with pickpocketing and sleight of hand, as well as picking locks, breaking and entering, and being a generally sneaky sort..

Martial Arts:
He received military level fighting and hand-to-hand combat training in his time with Alpha Flight.

Skiing:
Jean-Paul is a world class skiier, even when he's not using his powers to give himself the occasional edge. He's good enough to ski at the Olympic level and makes a living off of it professionally.

Resources

Contacts:
While Northstar is no longer an official member of Alpha Flight he hasn't given up all the government contacts that gives him. Of course he might need to do a favor or two in return, but he knows people in sensitive and important positions in the Canadian government.

Costume:
Jean-Paul's Northstar costume is specifically engineered to resist friction and endure his super sonic speeds without tearing. Strangely, the white parts of his costume are also slightly luminescent.

Fame:
Jean-Paul is famous, at least as much as any gold-medalist in the Olympics would be. Definitely better known in Canada, but he's done a few promotions and endorsments, so his face is not altogether an unfamiliar one. He's also a published author with his own auto-biography.

Laval:
He owns a private estate in Laval, Quebec, and keeps a small staff there to help him while he's there and take care of the place while he's away. It's his own personal retreat.

Wealth:
He's actually managed to leverage his professional skiing career and Olympic win into quite a healthy amount of cash, as well as a successful book deal. On top of several sound investments and endorsements, he's managed to acquire himself a small but significant fortune.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Cheat:
His powers do come into play during his professional athletic career, they give him a bit of an unfair advantage, of course. Should this come out, well, it might have more than a negative consequence on his career.

Claustrophobia:
He suffers from a phobia of tightly enclosed spaces.

Family:
Jean-Paul only has one family member left, his twin sister. While they may not always get along, he would move heaven and earth to keep her safe. She could be used against him easily.
