Character Information ;
Name: Jaime Reyes
Name of Canon: DC Universe
Canon/AU/Other Game CR: Canon
Reference: DC Wiki
Canon Point: Post-Blue Beetle monthly
Setting: Welcome to ‘New Earth’ as it’s called in DC parlance. It’s a world chock full of super heroes, villains, aliens, magic and super crazy awesome technology. It’s the home of some of the biggest names in superhero history. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman (okay maybe not), Green Lantern. And, of course, a newcomer; the third Blue Beetle (what, he’s not a big name either?). Basically, all sorts of crazy shit goes down here on a daily basis from supervillain attacks, alien invasions, all that sort of thing.
And if you’re a cape, you gotta deal with it, the best way you can. Usually by punching the ever-loving crap out of the problem.
Personality: When it's down to the basics, Jaime is a good kid. He's honest, earnest, hard-working, fairly intelligent, respects his elders, and tries to do the right thing. He just happens to have a world-destroying piece of alien technology attached to his spine. Jaime has matured since he became the Blue Beetle (though not entirely). He has had to learn to accept and deal with his power, and despite his initial reluctance, fully embraces his super-heroing as part of himself now. He didn't even initially want the power. He doesn't want to rule the world or be powerful. He just wants to help people, and he does because now it's his job. As his little sister, Milagro says "You're a good guy." He takes his duties very seriously and hates to let innocents die. When he couldn't save everybody during a storm caused by the weather manipulating villain Typhoon in the employ of the Reach, he returned home disconsolate. His father, Alberto Reyes, finds him crying gives him a sort of pep talk, reminding him that sometimes you lose people, but that you must think about the ones you save. He also tells Jaime that he is a good man and that Alberto will always tell Jaime this when the boy returns to his home.
Jaime has principles and sticks to them. No innocent people die. Bad guys go down. He doesn't hesitate to stand up for what he thinks is right, though he's very good at not being obnoxious about it. While he's firm, he's not overbearing. He's intelligent and can digest science (which he has an interest in) and strategy fairly quickly. He also has a fairly wry wit that tends towards the corny at times, though he's not the best at battlefield banter.
If you make a friend of Jaime, you have undoubtedly made one of the most loyal and caring friends you'll ever has. He doesn't hesitate to throw himself into danger for friends and family. He has great respect for his parents, who have both worked hard to support him and his sister. He even tries to avoid using foul language. The kid is so wholesome sometimes it hurts. His parents raised a good kid who's really in the whole super-heroing business only because of circumstance. If he hadn't, he'd no doubt be more worried about keeping his grades up (which he manages to do, despite missing a year of school and routinely having to battle super villains), getting into a good school and becoming a dentist (Which is, in fact, his deepest desire-slash-power fantasy, so that he can make good money and help his family).
Jaime also looks to Ted Kord, the second Blue Beetle, as an inspiration and an example to be followed. He has been studying and working to become proficient in strategy, improvisation, and other skills that made Ted Kord a viable super hero, even though he lacked powers. He utilizes Blue Beetle II's legacy to the best extent during his battle with the Reach, tricking them into revealing themselves and allowing him expose their true motives to Earth.
Jaime is occasionally stricken by self-doubt, though such occurrences have become rarer as he's grown used to being the Blue Beetle. At one point he wonders if Ted Kord didn't activate the Scarab because he was good, and in Jaime's words "Maybe something inside of me... something not good... activates the armor." Jaime is, after all, just a teenager with all of a teenagers worries, doubts and fears on top of his super hero career.
Abilities and Weaknesses: Jaime himself has no abilities other than a keen mind, good physical conditioning and decent training in the martial arts from the Peacemaker. When coupled with the Scarab, however, he is gifted with an armored suit of alien origin that can form an untold myriad of weaponry from the non-lethal to the planet-cracking. When in his armor he can also fly, hover, gains super-human strength, can survive in a variety of lethal environments (including the vacuum of space), create weapons, shields and other devices, fire energy blasts, create 'energy bubble' force fields, create other energy shields, translate languages, enter the Bleed (the space between dimensions), and to top it all off, he technically doesn't have to go to the bathroom while in the armor. He's also able to manifest parts of the armor (i.e. a glove, cannon, blades, helmet, etc) without activating the whole suit. The suit is also extremely versatile, and is capable of adapting itself depending on the enemies it faces.
Further, even while not in the armor, Jaime can tap into communications signals using Khaji Da, scan other people, see through magic concealment and even track people he has encountered before at a range of up to seventy miles away. However, high powered magnetic fields can interfere with his tracking ability. The Scarab can heal even grievous injuries and is able to create clothing for Jaime from dead skin cells and other waste (ew).
The Scarab, however, has its own weaknesses. Magic confuses it and it doesn’t react very well to it, making opponents of a magical nature difficult for Jaime to face down. Strong magnetic fields also tend to block its ability to track DNA.
Inventory: The clothes on his back, the Scarab (in his spine), a backpack containing school books, a cell phone, binder, pens, pencils and other school supplies.
Appearance: Jaime (center) discovers the Scarab; All armored up.
Age: Sixteen

Log Sample: Sadly, he was almost used to this sort of thing by now. Being dropped into strange and unknown worlds was part and parcel of the whole super-hero thing. The only thing he was really worried about (okay, one of the things he was really worried about besides the fact that his armor wasn't working) was how long it would take to get home and how worried his parents and friends would be. He'd disappeared for a year before. Disappearing again for a length of time would just cause them even more heartache. He sighed and picked himself up from the abandoned bench he’d perched on while trying to get his surroundings. It was worrying, that Khaji Da couldn’t activate the armor right now. Or any of his powers, for that matter. Khaji Da might as well have been dormant, if he hadn’t been able to complain about what was going on to Jaime. He shook his head and turned down another empty street, dragging one hand along the face of a building. Strange. Brick, mortar, the usual construction materials. And yet there didn’t seem to be much of anything here.
“We’ll figure it out, Khaji. We always do. I just hope it’s not the Reach again.” He turned down another street and came up short. The city simply ended as it came up to a beach, with an ocean stretching out as far as he could see. Jaime, tilted his head to one side. Maybe this was a dream. He stepped forward onto the sand and crouched to run a hand through it. Nope, it felt pretty real. He looked out over the sea again and paused, squinting as he tried to make out the island that was sitting off shore.
“Wait. Is-What? Is that Spongebob’s pineapple?” This place had suddenly gotten a whole a lot weirder.
Network Sample: Wow, Toto, I don’t think we’re in El Paso anymore...
Uh, hey everybody. You probably don't know me, and I probably don't know any of you either, but I thought this would probably be the best way to change that. My name is Jaime Reyes and I'm probably just as confused as the rest of you. Why am I in this place, and what is with all this weird...stuff? It doesn't make any sense. Giants pulling rolling hotels and weird villages and a place called Loophole. I mean...wow. Anybody have any answers? More importantly, anybody seen a white rabbit?
But really, if you can help me out, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks.
-Jaime
