Amy Jackson

Amy Jackson is a heroic cyborg from Mars. She comes from a very dark and distant future, and came to the present day in an experiment to get time travel to work. She has received various things from the future, including a fight suit, a car and a few more things. Amy is known for being from the future and being a cyborg, despite not resembling a cyborg in any way.
She is one of two main protagonists in the Tayshaun & Amy series, alongside Tayshaun Fitzgerald. She is one of the mascots for RTA Games, alongside Krystal Pérez. On top of all that, she is related to a group called the "Dynamite Crew" who, like her, fight crime. She has been met with positive reception.
==Appearance==
Right off the bat, it's hard to tell Amy is a cyborg, let alone from the future. She is a short 16 year old girl who has got long blonde hair, a blue denim button shirt, black skinny jeans and brown boots with black markings. She has grey eyes and freckles. She has a hibiscus in her hair that she has had ever since she was a young girl. Amy does have another outfit which gives her more of a look from the future, which consists of a cybernetic fighting suit. With her cybernetic suit, Amy was also given a cybernetic sword. Regardless of her outfit, she will always have her hibiscus in her hair.
She has a scar near her chest in the shape of an 8, possibly linking to her "cyborg rank", which apparently refers to her abilities. 8 is supposed to be the highest rank. She also has an imprint saying "Colony 53" on her left arm. This shows what colony she was born on in Mars. However the scar and the imprint are only visible during Fantendo Sports Resort. In Sports Resort, she wears a sportier version of her outfit, consisting of a blue tank top, dark blue shorts, blue socks and brown ankle boots.
==Backstory==
===Early life===
Amy was born in the year 2998, in a dystopian future on Mars, where the red planet was colonised after the Earth was in ruin from an alien invasion, to a high-earning father and mother. She was classed as a Rank 8 cyborg, which was the highest rank, meaning she could apparently do nearly anything, with having a database brain.
In the year 3002, when Amy was 3, time travel was discovered and Amy's father volunteered himself and his family to go back 1,000 years, meaning Amy would go back with him. They went back to 2002, but they never found a way to get back to the future. How they wound up in California is unknown. This impeded many plans from the future, as they were supposedly going to turn Amy into "the perfect robot", but couldn't get to her before she went back.
To that point, only Amy's brain had been robotized, although she thinks her heart and a few bones as well as a few bits of her heart may have been robotized too. Her brain had given her the ability to find out about anyone, and was apparently the reason she had psychic powers. This also gave her an unusual mindset from what everyone else thought. While most people in the future she's from were generally negative about everything, but Amy seemed extremely upbeat about everything, and hard to bring down.
===Living in the Past===
Ever since, Amy has lived in the 21st century. At first, she found it hard, what with all the technology being a millennium behind her real time. Her parents were close to killed by a car hitting them, which Amy foresaw and stopped the tragedy. Her father bought her an expensive flower (a hibiscus) to say thanks, and she still wears it to this day.
Amy has since met Jerry Sankovic, who is now her boyfriend, and one of her ancestors, Ricky, neither of which know of Amy being from the future. Only Skye Caballero, Amy's best friend, knows that she is from the future, but even then she doesn't know of Amy being a cyborg. Not even the one person in the town who knows almost everything on everyone knows she's from the future. 
Amy has more recently discovered that she was apparently going to be used for fighting by the Mars military, which may have sparked her dad off to get Amy away from the future, fearing there might have been a war starting (of which there eventually was, about 10 years after they came to the present day) and Amy was going to be stuck in it to test how much the "perfect robot" could endure.
More recently, her father discovered that D'Angelo & Sons, the company he worked for, had managed to perfect the time machines that Amy and her family used to get to the present day. The CEO, Mr. D'Angelo, was determined to robotise Amy, to the point he decided to go back himself and try and take her to the future. But, Amy fought him off, with help from her friends and managed to keep Earth safe.
Amy received a vehicle from the future called Beat The Beast, from her father's friend, who worked with machines. Amy's father tweaked her brain a little further when he knew that she'd be completely fine, giving her mind control and high skill in combat situations, in case Mr. D'Angelo sent back a hitman to try and take her out. The tweak also gave her the motivation to protect Earth from the flaming ruins it became when she was born.
Amy tries to hide the fact that she's from the future, and usually does extremely well, but she failed to keep it quiet from Skye. Her past is haunted, but Amy is attempting to bury that and is always fighting for a bright future. She's managed to keep her life completely balanced despite all the "madness" in her life.
===Up to the present===
After turning 16, Amy was approached by a spy company, wanting a piece of her skill, but she gracefully rejected it. Her life started to get out of control, however, as bizarre things began happening around her residential town, one event making her father fake his death to keep Amy safe, which shook her badly, what with her having a close bond with him, although he came back, which puzzled Amy. Another event lead to a portal to a new dimension being made, of which she decided to go to and felt somewhat lost again, but got back to her dimension. 
The portal still looms over Earth and Amy still goes through it for some adventures. The portal apparently leads to the "Fantendoverse" and she felt homesick in a way, what with the dimension's advanced technology reminding her of the future, but feels more at home at the same time. She decided to go back for a large Grand Prix, attempting to take home a prize. But, something ends up going wrong, and she has to team up with Unten and Tayshaun.
Amy is also inspired by an alien from the past, by the name of Tabitha James, to protect Earth from threats, of whom she runs into at one point. It is also discovered that Amy's ancestors escaped Earth before it was obliterated, along with a few others, and were able to repopulate the human race. It only came to her that Tabitha was the same Tabitha that tried protecting Earth, as shown in a flashforward to when she was 3 and her father was reading her a book about the destroyed Earth.
Amy's "protecting the Earth" mentality comes from Tabitha James and Barbara Jackson, the latter of whom protected New York from dangerous, villainous people some 70 years ago. She also got some of her fighting skill from Barbara, in the sense that they both know martial arts. Amy does meet Barbara at some point during the Tayshaun & Amy series, when her mother takes her to New York for a "special" visit.
==Personality==
Amy has an upbeat personality more often than not, because of her brain being tweaked so she can hardly be brought down. but her past can catch up and give her flashbacks (or flashforwards, if you will) of what her life was like in the future, if she feels as if she's failing in saving the world, getting pictures of the destroyed Earth in her head and what the area around her looked like. She is determined to save the future from what it was, and to make the present more bearable for others.
Although she's usually happy, on the inside Amy has a lot of secrets hidden, causing her to have dilemmas, and sometimes panic or break down, due to stress. She has a very friendly nature and it's easy to get on with her. Luckily, the break downs never do too much damage, but Amy feels like they could one day cause her to snap in the heat of a battle and go out of action for a bit (which did occur during the events of Amy vs The Future). She can be headstrong and stubborn at times however, not thinking some things through.
When discussing some things, like planning an attack, Amy is extremely serious, and is unwilling to take any jokes on board, and she will keep the seriousness throughout the plan. Sometimes, her brain can mess with her thought process and cause her to be somewhat cocky at times for no particular reason. Amy also likes to give people joy, be it through gifts, friendship and so on. She is someone most people can easily get along with.
She is also great with motivating people with speeches and making them feel good about their selves, even if they're an extremely negative person. This part of her is shown in The New Team, The Other Side of the Journey and First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage. 
Although she rarely shows it, Amy can have anger outbursts, normally when Mr. D'Angelo is about, which causes her to attack some people as shown in The Cinema Trip, where D'Angelo exposes Amy to Krystal. As revealed by Jerry in Working Hard, Amy can also get angry if people bother her when they don't need her at all, and that she can get as angry as Jess. Amy is also rather foulmouthed when she is frustrated, and tends to swear a lot, but not as often as Jess.
==Relations==
===Tayshaun Fitzgerald===
Amy commonly teams up with Tayshaun to save Earth, although Tayshaun usually thinks it's something else.

Amy usually overlooks her fear of war when helping Tayshaun out.
===Krystal Pérez===
Krystal is like a sister to Amy. They team up very often and Krystal's powers prove to be a huge help while defending Earth from D'Angelo & Sons. Amy tweaks her skills even further while working with Krystal. Krystal knows of Amy's cyborg status and of Amy being from the future.

==Abilities==
Amy has psychic powers. She can predict a lot of things, mostly because she is from the future, but she normally doesn't have visions. She also has amazing combat skill, which is a balance of her brain being tweaked and the skills passed down from Amy's great-times-seventeen aunt, Barbara.
Amy's intelligence is extremely high and she knows a lot of things about the world she lives in (but not everything, as shown in a few episodes of The Other Side where she is caught off guard by some facts) and the events that will occur in the future.
Amy is also able to control people's minds, which is a skill she was given to fight off anyone who was sent by Mr. D'Angelo, and manipulate them to go back to the future and turn on him. The ability works by Amy unleashing a psychokinetic wave toward the opponent and the wave messing then messes with their brain waves, allowing Amy to control them in a pseudo-telekinetic way.
Amy also has technopathic abilities, which means she is able to control machines, and she will use this to her advantage a lot, mostly so that she can get assistance in fights from robotic items. Despite being able to control machines, Amy does not know how to build machines or technology in general. This is showcased in A Day in the Life of Schmidt And Jackson.
Amy's brain has been shown to work the way Mega Man does -- her brain will upgrade skills in order for her to get stronger. This ability is used for Amy's attacks in Fantendo - Syndicate of Sins. She has the ability to communicate with people telepathically too.

==Trophy Information==
Image	Info
Amy Jackson
Amy vs the Future	Amy is a heroic cyborg from Mars. She came from the future in an experiment, but was never sent back. She eventually used this chance to save Earth from what it was in her time. Despite being a cyborg, Amy has managed to live life without anyone suspecting she is a cyborg, mostly due to the fact her robotic parts are internal. Amy has a lot of skill for what she looks like: she has precognition, she is unbelievably good at fighting, she can control both minds and machines... and she's good on a skateboard. She does have weaknesses, however. She wields a cybernetic sword in battle and has fun saving the world.
==Reception==
Reception toward Amy has been positive for the most part. Praise has gone toward her concept and the backstory, saying the backstory can give you a personality of Amy before reading the personality section, but her design has been seen as slightly generic by a few.
