## Background

Jasper James is the little brother of Atlanta James (AKA Verve) and the son of Noah James and Demeter James. He is deaf, and wants to be an architect when he grows up. His favorite movies are nature documentaries.

Jasper’s deafness is genetic, inherited from Demeter but is more severe than hers was. Other medical issues have prevented him from being able to get cochlear implants. He attended the Halcyon School for the Deaf until May 2020, when he was mainstreamed. At first he was very against it, but getting to be in school with Wes (the Weatherboy) made it better.

Jasper is excitable, enthusiastic, and claims that nothing scares him. He's determined to be a hero in the future just like his whole family, including Ernest and Mel (who he, much like Atlanta, has forcibly adopted as his older brothers).

## Season 3

Jasper was taken hostage by Gambite and Kieran Khan during the events of When the Last Star Dies. He was rescued by the Jackal. She's one of his top three favorite heroes because of it.

During the the events of the Finale Prologue: School’s Out, Bella babysat him while Noah and Atlanta were in Casper’s head. She told him that Atlanta was Verve. He seemed pretty excited that his sister was a superhero, but was a little upset that she and Noah went on an adventure without him.

## Seasons 4 and 5

During season 4, Demeter and Hikari were rescued from the Reaper's Pockets, thus reuniting his family. Getting to know his mom again after she vanished when he was 6 was difficult, but things got back to some kind of normal fairly quickly.

After moving into a house after the return of his mom and Grandy, Jasper got a rescue dog with three legs who he named Sheila.

Throughout the seasons, it became apparent that Jasper was slowly developing energy absorption and electricity powers like Atlanta has.

Over the course of seasons 4 and 5, he grew close to Ernest and Mel, and is on Ernest’s B-Tube channel show Chimera Cooking. He admires both of them, and especially Ernest. While Jasper looks up to most of the Big Team, those two are his favorite heroes. There's another show on Ernest's channel where Ernest lets him design and build things, and Jasper gets very into it.

At the end of season 5, he was in range of Cambria's ritual to gain powers, and gained the ability to absorb light and manipulate it in a way to turn himself invisible. Shortly after this, he, Wes, and Demeter were all kidnapped by the Syndicate as ransom for the Heart of the Dawn, which several members of Big Team had taken from them not long before. They were all rescued, and it made Jasper all the more eager to be a hero.

With his powers emerging, he trains with Wes and Ernest to control them, and Mel is teaching him to be sneakier so that his invisibility is more effective.
