## Biography

### Early Life

Jamar was born on March 3, 2006 to Talia and Rafael DeVille, in Brazil, after his parents moved there before he was born. Though he was raised in Washington D.C. He has an older sister, Simone, who was two years older than him. As the son of Rafael DeVille, Jamar grew up with the reputation of being a member of a powerful, wealthy and influential Mexican family of extremely powerful ruthless meta-human criminals.

When he was seven, he got into a fight at school, after a boy tried to take his lunch. He went home that night, and told his father. His father proceeded to hold the boy’s parents at gunpoint and had Jamar beat him with a metal baseball bat, infused with pyrokinesis. That night Jamar learned to never let anyone take advantage of him ever again. Later that night, when they went home, he discovered he had a half-brother, Lino, by his father who had cheated on his mother years prior. Lino came to live with them afterwards, due to his mother being killed.

## Physical Description

As he is of Brazilian and Mexican heritage, Jamar has light brown-caramel skin complexion. As a baby, his mother mentioned that he looked her her. Although Miles blissfully implied that Jamar inherited his father's eyes.

As a teenager, Jamar is one of the tallest among his friends and peers, standing at 5'9" tall. He has naturally curly hair which is currently style as twisted loose curls that are out with the sides and back of his head faded down, styled in a curly taper. His eyes have somewhat of a boundless ocean; an ethereal quality, as he has his paternal grandmother's hazel eyes with "flecks of gold". He wears edgy clothing that compliments his full, masculine figure, such as black leather jackets, boots and sometimes skin suits. He is always seen wearing his silver chain, several metal or leather-wrapped bracelets and his plain silver earrings.

## Personality

Jamar was born a fighter, having inherited Talia's toughness and Rafael's tenacity, something both his parents pointed out when Jamar was a baby. Jamal was a wild, rambunctious and happy child, with Miles mentioning how Jamar inherited his paternal family's ambition and resilience.

Jamar is a savvy and uncompromising young man, with an unquenchable flair for power. He is described as sharply intelligent, competent, charismatic and savvy. He knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go after it, even if it means manipulating the situation the better benefit his needs. He isn't afraid of breaking rules to accomplish something (something his mother states he gets from his father; also attributed to the fact his father traumatized him and left when he was seven and as such never disciplined him) He is sarcastic, rebellious, mischievous, headstrong and often baffles people with his sharp tongue and fierce nature. He can appear cold-hearted which is fueled by his never-ending sarcastic quips.

Jamar struggles to forge meaningful connections and relationships with other people and make friends and allies with the other young members of Renautas, not only because of his one-of-a-kind meta-human classification, but also because he's already endured a lifetime of heartbreak and disappointment. To his peers, he seems closed off and somewhat unwelcoming. Due to his often disastrous past, he has resigned himself to isolation, considering it the path that will provide the least heartbreak in his life. He sees loneliness as less of a burden to bear than his formative experiences of loving so deeply and losing so terribly. However, since becoming a Renautas operative and the co-leader of Bravo Team, he has begun to open up more to people, tediously forming friendships and even considering entering a romantic relationship.

Jamar has demonstrated to be a natural-born leader, even though he often doesn't want to be. He cares about doing his own thing that allows his own feelings to be safeguarded so he won't be hurt by others, though he always fights for his loved ones to be protected. Overtime, he became more interested in how people felt and became more empathetic and caring for others.

Due to his abandonment issues, Jamar is a deeply damaged and conflicted young man, who's anger can overtake him and compromise his mission. He is a survivor, like his siblings, due to them all being abandoned by his father, he is therefore a sucker for the underdog. Like his father and sister, he is also a cold-blooded, cunning and calculating killer who is able to kill anyone, especially those who hurts the people he cares about without mercy.

In the simplest form, Jamar is a list of contrasting qualities, as he has demonstrated to be a complex young man with a unique understanding of himself; he is strong and vulnerable, caring and merciless, loving and cutthroat, intense and easy going, making him a character worth filling a leading role.

## Powers, Abilities & Weaknesses

### Powers

* **Meta-human Physiology**: Jamar inherited the meta-gene from his parents, Talia and Rafael DeVille, altering his DNA, supercharging his cells, granting him superhuman powers.
	+ **Empathic Mimicry**: Jamar is able to mimic the powers of other meta-humans, acquiring powers simply by being in close proximity to them and typically use these powers with great skill, besting their original owners in combat with ease. It has shown that this ability doesn't require conscious activation, and Jamar isn't innately aware of any powers he is currently mimicking. However, he's unable to master mimicry itself and cannot always summon his mimicking powers on command. Due to this, Jamar has demonstrated the use of the following powers:
		- **Underwater Breathe**: After meeting with Serena, Jamar was taught on how to hold onto powers for a long amount of time, and practiced by holding the ability of underwater breathe, while stating underwater for a long period of time.
		- **Vibration Manipulation**: Jamar was able to replicate his sister, Simone's ability to manipulate and enhanced vibrations around him. He quickly learned to generate vibrational blasts from his body, although similarly struggled to control his emotions and began having tremor, like Simone. Although he got a hold on the tremors faster than she did.
		- **Invisibility**: While around Drew, Jamar unintentionally mimicked his ability to turn invisible.
		- **Ergokinesis**: Jamar copied his mother, Talia's ability to generate limitless amounts of energy, as he unintentionally harnessed it throughout his entire body.

### Abilities

* **Genius-level Intellect/Master Tactician/Leader**: Jamal is extremely intelligent, a recognized hallmark quality of the DeVille family, able to often beat his prodigious older sister in chess in his toddler years. Later as a 17-year-old teenager, his intellect - which enabled him to impressively master several disciplines, academic and otherwise, to his own credit - was proven to be enough to be the leader of his own coven in the Renautas, after only being of Accepted rank in the organization for six months.
* **Peak of human physical condition**: As a gymnast and martial artist, Jamar possesses impressive highly athletic process. He is extremely agile and flexible, able to perform flips, aerials and other acrobatic maneuvers with exceptional ease. This allowed him to evade tires and other debris telekinetically hurled at him by Tiara in training. Jamar has also demonstrated impressive strength, able to quickly hurl Obscure away with a single kick. With his training as a Renautas operative, his skills have only increased and is considered a very formidable opponent.
	+ **Master Acrobat**: As the captain of his school's gymnastics team, Jamar is a skilled acrobat and extremely agile. His gymnastic feats are remarkable and effortless. His skills are accentuated when he uses his powers in conjunction with his acrobatics, though while sparring in karate class, he still demonstrated great acrobatic ability. Jamar also has two gold medals and a silver medal in gymnastics. His acrobatic abilities only grow during his time as a Renautas operative, as he lands gracefully from attacks, leaps around gunshots and utilizes his abilities with perfection.
	+ **Honed Senses**: Jamar is able to instantly notice danger in his environment, able to pick up minute details and realize he, Tiara and Kaden were being followed.
	+ **Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant/Martial Artist**: Jamar is an exceptional combatant due to his upbringing by Renautas operatives, growing up taking several karate classes, being a karate blue belt recipient from an early age, then a black belt by the age of fourteen, and often incorporating his gymnastic prowess into his fighting style.

### Tiara Pierce

*Main article: Jamar and Tiara*

Tiara is Jamar's partner in Renautas. The two initially started on somewhat antagonistic terms, due to Tiara thinking that Jamar only rose through the ranks of Accepted quickly because his mother is the head of Renautas and he was always going to have an in, throughout his training. Although the two became closer after Tiara witnessed an argument between Jamar and his mother Talia about how recklessly he used his powers and Tiara found out that Talia was comparing Jamar to his father and the way he used his powers on the mission. This made Tiara see how she was wrong about him and confronted him stating that he isn't his father. The two then hugged, which resulted in a kiss.
