Artist's Comments

Here's a reference sheet for my original character, Janie Steed the Scottish PI. This is primarily for *Kostmeyer's Secret Wars jam starting in January.

Below is a little bit of extra info about Ms Steed for those taking part who might find it useful.

OVERVIEW

Code Name: None
Real Name: Jane "Janie" Steed.
Nicknames: Ice
Occupations: Through an odd turn of events yet to be revealed, Janie ended up working as a Private Investigator. Given her personal circumstances as a super powered human, she tends to specialize in that area when it comes to taking on cases.
Legal Status: Unrevealed.
Identity: Publicly known, allthough her powers are kept secret. Janie ditched the idea of a super hero code name long ago.
Aliases: Briefly known as Ice.
Place of birth: Edinburgh, Scotland.
Age: 29.
Marital Status: Single, allthough she is currently on the dating circuit.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual.
Known Relatives: Andrea & Marley Steed (Mother & Brother), her father died when she was 5.
Base of Operations: Currently, London England.
First Appearance: Not yet made her first appearance, although she will be showing up in the crankyverse before long.
Origin: Janie was born with her powers, allthough they did not manifest until she reached puberty.

PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES

Height: 5 foot 10 inches.
Weight: 154lbs (11 stones)
Eyes: Pale blue.
Hair: Pale blonde, straight and cut to her shoulders.
Distinguishing Marks: None. But she is very pale skinned.

POWERS AND ABILITIES

Strength Level: Janie possesses superhuman strength. Her powers enable her to lift/press approximately 2 tonnes under optimal conditions.
Known Superhuman Powers: Janie is a superhuman with the ability to lower the temperature of her forearms to the consistency of ice. In order to do this, she has to mentally override her body's temperature regulator within her hypothalamus. When she does this, her forearms aren't limited to merely being arms covered in ice,. She can alter the shape of them to whatever she wishes. She usually fashions them into spiky icicles or a blunt ended shape in order to stab at or concuss her assailant.
Janie's ice arms have been known to break or snap away, but this does not affect her body once she resumes her arms back to flesh and bone. She can grow back the shape just as quickly and effortlessly as they become severed.
She also has the ability to freeze people with an element of her super powered gifts she prefers to use only in emergencies due to the unpleasant sensation it gives her and that is an optic ice blast. With this she can quite capably encase objects or people in a block of ice. Unfortunately, it leaves her temporarily blinded and in excruciating pain. In addition to her ice powers, Janie also has super strength.
Abilities/Special Skills: Janie can drive, fix mechanical equipment and vehicles, she is fluent in 5 languages (not including English) German, French, Italian, Russian and Japanese. Also, while not the best detective on the block, she does have very competant deductive skills and a curious nature allowing her to do well at her job as a Private Investigator.
Weapons Used: Always carries a gun in case of emergencies but rarely uses it.

BIO

Personality: Known best for her playful and straight forward nature, Janie has made many friends over the years (spanning the globe) who she likes to keep in touch with including contacts and close buddies. Janie likes to make people laugh but finds than not everyone shares her particular sense of humour. She is easily manipulated though, especially by members of the opposite sex who she finds attractive. She suffers from low self esteem after being dumped one too many times, but she tries her best to see the best in everyone...even her ex-boyfriends.
Personal Interests: Janie likes to travel which is why she took time out to learn so many languages. She's been all over the world backpacking and loves wide open spaces, she isn't fond of the city where she currently finds herself.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, she's a heavy smoker and a drinker.
