Killigan Christie-Jones
Because character fact sheets make everything easier (more under cut).
Name: Killigan Christie-Jones, "Jones"
Age: 16
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 140 lbs
Hair color and style: Bright red, so much so that it looks unnatural - has to be cut fairly short, sticks up all over the place
Eye color: Grey
Complexion and skin tone: Pale and freckly
Character's body build: Boney and long-limbed, like he was assembled using coat hangers and pivot pins
Identifying marks: None to speak of, 
Facial features: Long, thin nose and sharp chin. His mouth is too big for his face, as are his eyes, and has a group of tightly clustered freckles directly across the bridge of his nose. Perfect teeth and huge, goofy smile.
Hand features: His hands are huge and knuckle-y, but probably wouldn't look quite so silly if he wasn't so thin. He keeps his nails super short and his knuckles and fingertips are always pink from overexposure to industrial cleaners.
Mannerisms or gestures: Everything is large and flail-y, like he is unaware of exactly how huge his gestures are. He tends to look a little bit ridiculous when explaining things.
Strongest personality traits: Loyal to his friends and family and endlessly optimistic about everything else.
Weakest personality traits: Has an almost nonexistent bullshit-ometer, overly trusting and frankly kind of a pushover.
Needs of the character: While he can entertain himself fairly easily due to having an endless supply of distractions simply by existing, he craves personal interaction and more than anything wants the respect and companionship of other people his age.
Ambitions: Wants to be good at something. He's just not sure what that "something" is yet.
Father's name: Albemarle Christie, "Al"
Age: 38
Physical appearance: Same unruly hair (brown instead of red), freckles and pointed nose. More heavy-set and shorter but same overarching exuberance, tempered with experience and disappointment.
Mother's name: "Jones"
Age: ??
Physical appearance: No one knows, but apparently someone in her gene pool had red hair and was absurdly tall.
Sibling's names and descriptions: Only child.
Favorite sayings:
Interests and hobbies: Air guitar and singing, tagging along with Tav on his stunt missions, dancing in secret, teaching himself how to play everyday objects as musical instruments, exercising his mastery over the cleaning arts. He likes to read but can't concentrate on a single thing for extended periods of time so it takes him a while to get through things.
Favorite foods: Anything with large amounts of cheese.
Favorite colors: Blue
Pets: None [there was a fish at one point, but they don't talk about that]
Education: Currently enrolled at the Justice Elite Magnet School for Individual Specialization [JEMSIS] due to his telekinesis and his dad's aquakinesis.
Religion: 
Financial situation: Al probably would have made it big as a superhero, but when Jones happened and he had to give it up he was left without a college degree and no real non-crime-fighting skills. He took a job as a janitor at the local high school and when the Justice Elite founded JEMSIS they brought him on as the head of their maintenance staff, partly out of pity and camaraderie and partly because he's really good at his job. Jones helps out when he can by busing tables at different restaurants around town. The two of them aren't particularly well off but they manage to get by.
Future plans: Jones wants to do something different every week and despite pressure from all sides to commit to a professional track he's determined to not decide until he's found something that he really loves.
Possessions this character values most: His mother left his dad with a single blue ribbon, which Jones now wears somewhere on his person at all times.
What drives your character: Complete exhilaration over nearly every situation he is presented with. He wants to learn everything and do everything and he is behind everything his friends decide to do 100%, even if it's a really bad idea.
How does your character handle conflict: From a technical standpoint very well, he enjoys the challenges and they present opportunities to set into motion his many rather unfeasible plans-of-action. He's not very good with personal conflict, preferring to ignore or avoid any potential interpersonal dilemmas by becoming a distraction or physically removing himself from the situation.
What is standing in your character's way: His distractibility and inability to commit to a single life track. His enthusiasm can be taken as annoying and inane by others and he is a humongous dork.
What is their favorite room and why: His bedroom or any supply closets, anywhere he can geek out and act like an idiot to his heart's content without being judged harshly for it.
What vehicle do they drive: Rides his bike or the back of Tav's wheelchair.
Favorite sport(s): He's hopeless at all regular sports due to incomplete control over his limbs and habitually tripping over his own feet, but he's really good as tech hockey.
What are your character's prejudices: Pretty much unprejudiced.
How does your character feel about love: Frankly he tries not to think about it.
About crime: He has a very loose opinion on crime and criminals, because it's possible his mother was a villain. While he tries to understand why someone would commit a crime, he can't abide by anyone getting hurt in the process, even if it's by the "good guys".
What is their neighborhood like: Completely sketch. His apartment building is home to all the low-rent villains who can't make it in the major leagues and the buildings around his are broken into, vandalized, and condemned at least once a week [the building on the right has been scheduled to be torn down six times but no one has had the guts to do it yet because it's full of super-powered villains].
What is your character's philosophy on life: Do and make and learn until you've done and made and learned everything... or you're dead. Whichever comes first.
What is your character's family life like: He and his dad are very close and openly affectionate to one another, although their tendency to refer to each other as "Jones" and "Al" makes them seem impersonal to those who don't know them. Jones is one of the only characters who doesn't lie to his parental units about the things he does, keeping Al informed on all the crazy things he and his friends get up to. Because of this he doesn't get in nearly as much trouble for doing stupid things and his dad generally trusts him to make the right decisions and not get himself or anyone else killed.
Additional things:
Has general telekinesis, but can only readily apply it to cleaning implements and supplies.
Occasionally hangs out after school to help out his dad and practice his powers on the school's cleaning supplies.
Weapon of choice is an old-school mop he recovered from one of the supply closets freshman year.
Severely ADD but his family can't afford medication that doesn't make his powers go haywire.
Super best friends with Tav
