Jasper Alec Blackthorn
the basics
full name ♦ Jasper Alec Blackthorn nicknames ♦ none that he's comfortable with age ♦ thirty eight birthday ♦ August 14th, 1980 occupation ♦ Director of Monroeville Hospital school ♦ Primrose Academy Alumn species ♦ Human ability/power ♦ Ability Absorption how the ability works ♦ Jasper has the ability of ability absorption. He is able to touch a person and be able to gain temporary abilities that mimic the person he's touched. The more contact with the person, the longer he can hold their ability as his own. Jasper over the years has been able to gain decent control over his skills, but he is still only able to absorb one skill at a time. Certain abilities take more out of him than others, as he's discovered over the years. Mental abilities, such as precognition, telepathy, or telekinesis tend to take more out of him and hold effects on him longer than certain physical or natural abilities. The longer Jasper spends with someone, the longer he can hold the ability and the stronger he is with it. The longer he takes over someone else's ability, the worse he'll feel afterwards. After effects range from a nose bleed, to violent vomiting and even seizures, depending on what he's done. Jasper is able to control his ability by being careful about who he touches, usually utilizing gloves to avoid unwanted touch, but if he is ill or exhausted, he is more susceptible to absorbing someone else's ability. gender ♦ cis-male; him/his/he sexuality ♦ Heterosexual - Aromantic
the appearance
face claim ♦ Tom Hiddleston height and weight ♦ six foot one, 140 lbs identifying features ♦ Jasper has led a fairly privileged life, he has no scars, tattoos, or identifying features. Some people say his eyes are his best feature, and he's been able to get a fair amount of what he wants from others as a result. overall appearance ♦ Jasper is a tall and lean man. He takes a fair amount of pride in his appearance and will spend time working out or going for runs to keep himself in good shape. He knows that his ability becomes harder to control when he is physically ill, so it is important to him. Jasper usually dresses well, and his taste is expensive. He'll usually wear a three piece suit to work, since so much of what he does involves rubbing elbows to keep Monroeville open. Jasper has curly auburn hair that he keeps as neat as possible (he does often have a horrible case of bed head). Jasper has bright green eyes and sometimes sports a little stubble on his face. Jasper prides himself on his sense of style and will go out of his way to find clothes that he enjoys wearing.

overall personality ♦ Jasper is a businessman above all else. He is able to persuade people into doing what he wants them to do, he is able to talk his way out of any situation, and he is charming while he does it. Jasper is often found working with his therapists for increased productivity, he is found making phone calls to funnel more money into Monroeville Hospital, and anything to keep it open. He does work hard, he puts forward a lot of time and effort into making sure that Monroeville is an option for those who need it. Jasper rarely takes personal time, but when he does it's often with his greyhounds (Penny and Molly). Jasper is charming to new people, and is usually able to get people to like him. He uses some self-deprecating humor to disarm people, understanding that he is actually quite masterful at manipulation. With most of his relationships, Jasper is upfront about not wanting emotional relationships. This makes him a "hard to get" bachelor, and often the target of matchmaking. Jasper politely declines, and moves onto the next target. Jasper rarely stays in one spot for too long, constantly moving throughout the day to get to his next goal and what he wants to do.

TW: childhood abuse
Jasper was born in London, England to Oswald and Tilly Blackthorn. They had been trying to a while to have child and a series of miscarriages and still-births nearly had them giving up. When Jasper was born, they knew that they could finally stop keeping up appearances that they were a loving couple. They had their heir, and that was what was important. Jasper grew up in the best care that money could buy, series of nannies, maids, chefs, whatever a young boy could want. From an early age Jasper learned that he could have anything that he wanted, if he was willing to put forward the money for it. When he was a young boy, he would take his frustrations out on other kids. He would shove them around or even be a bully in order to have that control over other people. Parents would complain, but it was a game for him. He never had to apologize, and he would almost always get away with it. There were times when his father would drink too much and take his frustrations for life out on the boy. Oswald would beat Jasper, blame him for anything that was going wrong. A bad dip in the market. A unexplained expense on his wife's credit card for a hotel room. Jasper would try to run and hide to avoid the abuse, but his father always found him.
When Jasper grew older, he was able to fight back. When he was twelve, he came home to his father's mistress leaving. They bumped into each other on the walkway, and Jasper felt this energy pass into him. It felt like the tingling from moving a limb that fell asleep. He walked into the home and felt electricity cackle between his fingers. Jasper was shocked and accidentally sent off a bolt of electricity at the ground, scorching the priceless carpeting. Oswald, who had been using his mistress to satisfy his masochistic tendencies, recognized what Jasper had done and assumed that his son shared the same gift.
Jasper was shipped off to America the following day. He was enrolled in Primrose Academy under the assumption he possessed electric manipulation. When he was asked to replicate the ability, he was unable to. After shaking the hands of the staff members, he was however, able to replicate their abilities. They decided that Jasper possessed ability absorption and put him into classes. Jasper finished his Primrose lessons and was able to leave the school when he was twenty-one and returned to England. He enrolled in Oxford for psychology and studied at universities in England until he graduated with his PhD in psychology. He then returned to Louisiana and began working at Monroeville Hospital.
When Jasper was thirty, his father died. The papers said it was peacefully in his sleep, but Jasper knew it was from taking one too many shocks from his long-standing mistress and dominatrix. Jasper received his inheritance and used it to buy controlling shares of Monroeville Hospital. Overnight, he went from therapist with too many patients, to the head of Monroeville. Since then, Jasper has been working on running Monroeville and some of his side projects. During his time at Primrose, Jasper developed some ideas about how the world could work, and he is using his wealth and his position of power at the hospital to make it all possible.
