Jayvon Cross

**Jayvon Francisco Diego Castillo-Cross** is a main character on Blood and Power.

Jayvon is the fourth-born child and third son of Rose Castillo-Cross and the third child and second son of Devon Cross, the younger maternal half-brother of Azure Castillo, the younger brother of Alycia and Andre Cross and the older brother of Seraph Cross.

As the grandson of Ben Cross, Jayvon inherited the ability of Cryokinesis, allowing him to manipulate and create ice, and is an incredibly powerful meta-human in his own right.

He is an 8th at Armstrong Middle School. Jayvon and his family are living in Harlem, as he's secretly one of the five children of the two most powerful heroes in the world. Although unlike his siblings, Jayvon has a harder time controlling his powers, due to his emotions growing and his powers physically affecting his body.

## Biography

### Early Life

Jayvon was born in 2009 in Aurum, to Devon Cross, a fitness coach and Rose Castillo, a general in the Army, both of whom were world-renowned superheroes, *Bronze Eagle* and *Olympia*, respectively. About ten and a half years before he was born, his half-brother, Azure was born to his mother and another man. Then three years before he was born, his twin brother and sister, Andre and Alycia were born.

A year and a half after he was born, his younger sister, Seraph was born.

About a year prior to the series, Jayvon's powers over ice began to surface and he began to freeze things that he touched or breathed on. Then the more frustrated Jayvon would become as his powers kept him from continuing his passion, painting. Although he learned to control his emotions, he learned to partially control his powers.

## Physical Description

Jayvon bears somewhat of a striking resemblance to both his mother and father. He has a light brown skin complexion, as well as his mother's green eyes and his father's dark black hair, styled in a curly taper.

## Powers, Abilities & Weaknesses

### Powers

* **Meta-human Physiology**: Jayvon inherited the meta-gene from his parents, resulting in a genetic mutation within his cells, altering his DNA and giving him his superhuman powers. As a descendant of the Cross family, his abilities are naturally pre-disposed to be stronger than other most meta-humans.
	+ **Cryokinesis**: Inherited from his grandfather, Ben Cross, Jayvon is able to control, manipulate and create ice. He can emit icicles from his hands strong enough to pierce a car tire. With encouragement from Cameron, Jayvon learns to create miniature snowstorms in the spaces around him, a feat that Cameron describes as "magical".
		- **Ice Blasts**: Jayvon can fire ice blasts from his hands similar to that of his paternal grandfather. He demonstrated this, while training with his siblings, using this power to not only level the proverbial playing field, but eventually gain the upper-hand against them. Jayvon can also direct his ice blasts at the ground to launch himself several feet through the air in an offensive attack.
		- **Ice Shield**: Jayvon can use his powers in a defensive manner to protect himself and others from harm. He freezes the air around himself to create a barrier in the air, allowing objects to break over the shield. He first used this aspect of his power to protect himself and Nina from getting hit with an bat. The blunt force of the bat broke over the shield, sending wooden shards around the two, as opposed to harming them directly.
		- **Aerokinesis**: When he blasted his siblings, he sent a massive wave of cold air and hail at them.
	+ **Cryophysiology**: Jayvon's cryokinetic abilities also reflect outwards onto his skin and body, altering how it appears and how he senses the world around him. This is a power he inherited directly from his family lineage, as his grandfather also exhibited the physiological change.
		- **Ice Breath**: Since Jayvon's core body temperature is much colder than the average human, he has the ability to emit cold mist or ice from within through. This air subsequently freezes anything it touches.
		- **Eye Transformation**: Since his cryo-physiological powers are tied to his emotions; when he becomes overly emotional, his eyes freeze over in white ice. As an novice cryokinetic, Jayvon initially has difficulty concealing this transformation from those who provoke him, but calms himself rather quickly.
