Biography
Childhood
Born in England, Jono is the only child of middle-class parents. His relationship with them was always problematic - they tended to be too conservative for their rebellious music-playing son - but following his development of psychic powers, things became strained. In May 2003, during the Great Mutant Headache, Jono lost control of his powers and exploded, destroying his chest and lower jaw. The incident brought him to the attention of the British health service, and when treatment proved unsuccessful, other arrangements were made for him.
Living At The X-Mansion
Jono was brought to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters by Pete Wisdom, and from the start he was not exactly a beam of sunshine. Depressed about his accident, convinced he was a freak and there was no point in going about the normal course of living, he had several minor explosions, both with his power and on the journals. With Pete working for British Intelligence and away from the mansion regularly, Emma Frost took him in hand, providing him with several containment shirts that prevented his power exploding outwards. The arrival of Sarah Morlocke gave him someone to connect with, and the two self-proclaimed 'monsters' eventually moved into an old boiler room in the basement. When Paige Guthrie came to the school, her interest in him both confused and intrigued him, and an experimental kiss went disastrously wrong when Jono lost control of his powers and seriously injured her. Paige proved stubborn, and a series of emails exchanged between the pair whilst Jono was staying with Sarah at Emma's property in Maine settled things between them. Unfortunately, the moment was overshadowed when a Sentinel attacked the property and Emma abducted.
Life at the mansion continued apace for Jono, with various small dramas but overall, general progress being made. He was involved in the rescue of Alex Summers from Selene whilst attending another of Emma's Hellfire Club trips, and he was the one who discovered "Leech" in Mexico during an enforced vacation with Paige and Angelo Espinosa at the behest of Alison Blaire who had made it a personal mission to bring Jono round to the idea of life again. The triangle with Angelo and Paige was resolved with both boys agreeing to share, and gradually they became friends. Jono also started playing guitar again, and became part of the school band, People Covered In Fish.
However, the stress of Paige and Angelo both being abducted to Asgard and the lack of control over his power became telling, his remaining physical body beginning to literally crack under the strain. Taken by Emma to a series of experts in mutation, he eventually returned to the mansion when all attempts to help him proved useless. He began training with Nathan Dayspring and the Askani, but Sarah's departure proved the final straw and he exploded, destroying what was left of his physical form and becoming a glowing ball of psionic energy for many months. Only Forge's intervention enabled him to rebuild himself, for the first time since May 2003 being completely intact. He became the school's music teacher upon Alison's departure, and he and Paige shared a suite together.
Further Information
In November 2006, Jono had another accident, this time coming into contact with new student Kevin Ford. Kevin's powers caused Jono to lose his new body, and he was unable to rebuild it for any amount of time. Both boys were sent to Muir Island Research Facility for further treatment, with Paige also going in order to help her boyfriend.
In June 2007, Jono managed to regain a physical form, although he was back to square one with an exploded chest, needing to wear his special bandages to contain the energy inside him. Along with Paige, he returned to the school to retake a position as the music teacher. Jono has been slowly readapting to life at the mansion, making some new friends and catching up with old ones. He was convinced to join Paige on a trip to Afghanistan and was caught up in an attack on a refugee camp, where he had to use his powers offensively. It was at this time he realised how fragile his body was, new cracks appearing after the exertion. He reluctantly sought the aid of Forge, who he had violently argued with only weeks before.
In November 2007, following the evacuation of the school, Jono decided the stress of living in the mansion was too much for his tenuous control and found himself an apartment in Salem Center. He spent some time teaching music to various locals, but found things were more difficult than he expected in the mutant-cautious town. He returned to the school in June 2008, resuming his position as music teacher and continued in that role until August 2010. Jono took on a travelling gig, playing guitar for a small band, in an effort to 'get back to his roots' musically. He stays in regular contact with his friends and Paige.
Physical Characteristics
Height: 6'
Weight: 165 lbs.
Eyes: Brown.
Hair: Brown.
Other Features: Against popular belief, no tattoos. Currently he has a giant hole in his chest, running up to his jaw, which causes "fractures" in the skin on his face. The psionic energy he generates varies from bright orange to an electric blue in color, depending on his mood and fatigue. Occasionally, he exists only as a glowing ball of light.
Powers
Jono possesses a vast furnace of psionic energy in his chest and mouth. He is able to concentrate these energies as concussive blasts of energy -or when properly focused- dilated to the size and strength of a laser. It takes a lot from him to be able to do so as he isn't very good at controlling his powers just yet. He also possesses limited telepathic abilities which allow him to communicate, and he has no need to eat, drink or even breathe.
Since the destruction of his original physical body, Jono's consciousness persisted as a matrix of coherent psionic energy, that over time and through the help of Forge and Paige, he was able to reform into a mimicry of his original physical body. After an accident with Kevin Ford and subsequent recovery, Jono's body is back to an incomplete, damaged state.
The main expressions of Jono's power are telepathic communication, and on occasion release of the psionic energy inside him for destructive effects. When he overexerts his powers, his 'grip' on his physical body slips, and cracks appear.
Jono wears special bandages wrapped around his chest, his neck and his lower jaw to help contain the energy inside him.
The psionic energy he generates varies from bright orange to an electric blue in color, depending on his mood.
Equipment
At one stage Jono wore a series of containment shirts designed by Frost Enterprises, as well as a prosthetic jaw. He owns a pink stuffed horsie named James, as well as a black electric guitar named Ziggy.
Trivia
Jono owned a black kitten, a gift from Paige. He was generally bemused by it.
