Making of the Man
Javi came from the streets. No doubt a good father did his best with what little he had, but Life is a Bitch, and Javi learned a lot the hard way. It all came to define who he is, and how he views his world. Thankfully, Life can also be instructive. Javi did not disappoint in that respect.
A Child's Life?
Javier Julian, or Javi, was born in the barrios of east LA. His mother, Cecilia, died in child birth, leaving his father, Teodosio, with seven mouths to feed, including a newborn. To make ends meet Teodosio worked two custodial jobs, resulting in little time for being a Dad. Thankfully, Javi’s older siblings looked after him, as well as his Aunt Margarita, his Dad’s younger sister. She became the surrogate Mom of the house until Javi was twelve, and she got married, moving to Texas. At that point only one of his siblings was still living at home, the rest having graduated from highschool or gotten jobs themselves. She was the next youngest, Cristina, and four years his senior. The two had a peculiar relationship as Cristina played the rolls of both sister and ‘mother’.
It was as Javi reached puberty and his teens when his powers first manifested themselves. Before that time, Javi had been prone to being school meat for any and all bullies. That began to end as his ability to instill fear into the hearts and minds of others grew sporadically. Stranger events were to follow as the full breadth of his potential blossomed. The most disturbing aspect was his eyes. There was a faint blood red glow to the irises that made any sort of night life difficult. Needless to say, despite his natural handsome looks, Javi didn’t have many girlfriends, and of those he did, all proved brief in duration.
The Turning Point
On a supposed whim, Javi began taking Kenpo classes from Ken Noda at the local community center. He was seventeen, then. The martial arts training appeared to have a stabilizing affect on Javi's erratic powers. Though Javi never fully understood the origins of his powers, he figured they were due primarily to pure luck (sort of Nature’s way of genetically advancing the species, as it were). Still, these powers proved fleeting and unpredictable, so much so that Javi tended to view them more as a nuisance with only minor redeeming value. It was his training in Kenpo under Noda that gave him some measure of control. As Javi progressed in Kenpo, Noda could see there was something more to the boy as well. Unbeknownst to Javi, his instructor was also possessed with powers. It wasn't long before Noda was training Javi at his main school free of charge (Javi would never have been able to afford it anyway). Six years passed as Javi was patiently guided along Kenpo's path, and for someone as capricious as Javi that was saying something of the quality of his teacher.
Then, came the Crucible Element. That’s when everything changed. Now there was no mistaking the depth and breadth of his powers. And to make matters worse, the ruddy glow to his eyes was easily apparent even in daylight. All this occurred the same month as Javi's black belt test. He was twenty-three now, a young man in the prime of life. And marked. To Javi's great benefit, he had his teacher, Ken Noda, to fall on. As it turned out, Noda had also undergone a massive change though with none of the complications Javi possessed. Still, he understood only too well. As a result, Javi's test was done in private, and after a strenuous two hours, Javi passed with flying colors.
A New Path
At home, things were not so peaceful. Cristina was so upset by Javi's eyes that she said he was possessed by El Diablo. His Dad thought Cristina was being ridiculous, but did made an appointment for him to see a doctor. Javi, however, knew there were others out there like him. His instructor had said so himself. The news was abuzz with the emergence of some ‘new world order’ as they liked to call it, and Javi wanted to know more about what he was. His teacher, Ken Noda, encouraged him to seek others like them out, because only then would he know where his path lay. So, when Javi took the bus with those huge, butt-ugly sunglasses on, he wasn’t headed for the doctor’s office, but Port Liberty--a wad of major bills in his possession courtesy of his teacher and friend, Ken Noda. It was time to seek his own kind, and get some questions answered.
In Port Liberty, it took Javi all of a month to get a job, and then find a beat-up studio to call ‘home’. He was a cabbie, learning his way around the city in no time, and the job was ideal for tapping into the pulse of Port Liberty. Javi missed his family and he emailed them often, but a new life was upon him, and he was ready to seize it. The story of Fear was about to begin . . .

Man's Got To Know His Limitations
My, How Red Your Eyes Look!
That's right, Javi has the unfortunate case of eyes that glow a ruby red. Constantly. He hides this through two methods: contacts and sunglasses, both of which are solid.
You Don't Wanna Get Me Mad
Javi's not known for a temper, but he can blow his top on occasion. It can be a memorable one as well, since he'll unleash an automatic 'attack' on the object of his irritations with unadulterated Fear. Waves and waves of the stuff. Can you say 'gibbering idiot'? Hope you got Fearless.
Current Info
Javi lives in Adamston at Barret Apartments, #102. He tends to work days mostly, though since being a cabbie allows for a flexible schedule, you'll find Javi doing the odd night shift now and again. When he's not working, Javi likes to hang out at either the Rusty Nail on the waterfront, or Spare Time Bowling in Adamston. Him and the amigos like to also play cards, taking turns hosting at one another's homes.
