Jet "Jet Fuel" Bane | Tech Gremlin

Name: Jet Bane

Age: 20

Year: Sophomore (credits of a junior, impulse control of a raccoon)

Major: Supertech Engineering (Engineering Division)

Minor: Power-Integrated Machinery Design

Unofficial Track: “Illicit Prototype Containment” (nonexistent on paper; very real in practice)

Power Classification: Tier: 1.8 (spikes to ~2.5 during hyperfocus, adrenaline, or caffeine incidents) Type: Gadgeteering + Micro-Technokinesis Role: Engineer / Support (High Explosive Risk

Powers: Core Abilities:

• Micro-Technokinesis: subconscious influence over small machines and components (screws roll toward him, wires twist into place, devices wake up when he’s emotional)
• Gadget Intuition: understands machines instinctively, like reading a second language
• Rapid Prototyping: can build functional tech from scrap, junk, or things he definitely should not be using
• Hyperfocus Mode: terrifyingly brilliant bursts of clarity lasting hours, followed by total collapse
• Improvised Engineering: can weaponize, repair, or repurpose nearly anything

Advanced/Inherited Abilities:

• Resonant Machine Bonding: machines don’t just respond to him — they like him systems sync to his heart rate, lights dim when he’s sad, devices hum when he’s happy, he refuses to explore this fully because it “feels creepy” and “too close to being a power instead of a skill.”

Weaknesses:

• Chronic sleep deprivation
• Poor self-preservation instincts
• Tech feedback loops (machines can overload him)
• Emotional overstimulation → accidental power surges
• Gets attached too easily
• Cannot stop when told “that’s probably enough”

Appearance: Hair: Bright red, messy curls, permanently tangled with goggles Eyes: Warm amber-gold, always a little too alert Skin: Light, freckled, usually smudged with grease or soot Mouth: Soft, expressive; tends to chew on his lip when thinking Build: Lean, wiry, deceptively strong from hauling equipment Style: Half-zipped jumpsuits, tank tops, tool belts, fingerless gloves, too many straps Aura: Static-charged warmth — faint ozone, sparks when excited Expression: Mischievous, curious, unfiltered joy with a hint of insecurity

Favorites: Favorite Artist/Musician: Glass Animals, Mother Mother, Gorillaz Favorite Song: “Heat Waves” (on repeat during late-night builds)

Personality: On the surface:

• Hyper, friendly, chaotic
• Talks fast, laughs louder
• Overshares
• Constantly tinkering
• Treats danger like a suggestion

Underneath:

• Deep fear of being discarded
• Craves approval, especially from mentors
• Afraid his value is only his usefulness
• Feels safest around machines
• Hides insecurity behind humor

What A.H.O.R.E. Says About Him

• “Walking OSHA violation.”
• “Why is he like this.”
• “We are not paying for another explosion.”
• “Unfortunately... he’s brilliant.”
• “Draven, please supervise your student.”

Student forums, however, ADORE him: #GremlinRights #JetFuelFanClub #EngineeringMascot

His Secret:

• His technokinesis is growing stronger — less subconscious, more responsive.
• He hasn’t told anyone yet.
• He’s terrified that if it’s labeled a power instead of a skill, he’ll lose the one thing that makes him feel safe.

Reputation

• “The Gremlin”
• “Jet Fuel”
• “Engineering’s Problem Child”
• “Cute but dangerous”
• “Accidentally hot???”
• “Why does he have clearance again?”

Signature Move

• Prototype Reflex: pulls out a half-finished gadget mid-crisis that somehow does exactly what’s needed. It works. No one knows why. Sometimes not even Jet.

Dorm: The Whorehouse Room situation:

• wires everywhere
• half-finished drones on the ceiling
• hammocks instead of a bed
• glowing screens 24/7
• one immaculate workbench (his shrine)

Motivations:

• Build something that matters
• Prove he’s more than “the gremlin”
• Protect people with his tech
• Make Draven proud (he will not admit this)
• Keep creating — always

Fears:

• Being abandoned
• Being expelled
• Hurting someone with his tech
• Losing control of his abilities
• Disappointing the people he loves

Strengths:

• Brilliant creativity
• Fast problem-solving
• Loyal to the core
• Adaptable under pressure
• Makes people feel included
• Can fix almost anything

Flaws:

• Impulsive
• Reckless
• Emotionally vulnerable
• Overworks himself
• Poor boundaries

NSFW/Kinks: Genitals: Average-to-slightly-above average, cut, sensitive, responsive, flusters easily

• Praise-responsive (short-circuits emotionally)
• Hands & wrists focus
• Likes being gently guided or steadied
• Overstimulation (emotional, not physical)
• Soft dominance melts him
• Very cuddly once he trusts someone
