Retro Jade

History

Jade grew up knowing things that hadn't happened yet, always living in a constant state of deja vu. However, it wasn't until she witnessed her mother's death that she realized she had mutant powers (or so she believed). Her mother was shot by a stray bullet in a gang war. Jade instinctively rewound time, but was unable to save her mother the second time. She tried again and again, stuck in a time loop until Charles Xavier approached her and brought her to his school to learn about her powers.

Jade's powers come from the Time Gem, part of the Infinity Gems. Namor conceived Jade with an unknown woman while he was in posession of the gem. And so the powers of the gem have passed down to his illigetimate daughter. The power forms with an orange/red oval energy signature.

Being the owner of the Mind Gem, Charles knows that Jade's powers are not mutant in origin, but he trains her as one of the X-men nonetheless. One day he will tell her and help her control the extreme powers of the gem so that she can harness the power for the good of the world.

Secretly, Charles plans on bringing world wide peace using Jade's powers. She idolizes him and would do anything he asked, so this may come to fruition one day.

Early Years

The X-men

Jade was a quick learner and happy to help out the man that had adopted her into his family of X-men. However, she was sullen and sarcastic until she acquired a roommate named Karan Creed who was perpetually bubbly. Her happiness rubbed off on Jade within hours.

Jade was well on her way to becoming a full-fledged X-man when she discovered that Xavier knew she was not a mutant in origin but was still training as such. Jade was furious, believing that her magical powers might be the reason her mother was killed. While searching for the answers she discovered who her birth father was and what his connection to Xavier was: they both held infinity gems. Jade easily put two and two together and figured out that she had been conceived while Namor was in possession of the Time Gem.

Charles suspected Jade knew the truth and shipped her out (along with Windrider) to the remedial team in Bludhaven for trouble makers. For the first time, Jade used her powers selfishly: to discover where the Time Gem was hidden. She believed it to be her birth right. Jade claimed the Gem from its protector and disappeared into time.

Mistress of Time

Jade traveled through time for hundreds of years, learning as much as she could about the world and its past. She met her own ancestors and learned to wield the naginata from them. She learned the origins of the Time Gem. She learned a dozen languages. She forced her yakuza roots into submission and taught herself to be as regal as a queen, and that's what she became: the Empress of Time.

A pattern she noticed in every era: someone always tried to take over the world or influence others to do so through magic, and someone (or a team of someones) always stopped them. Jade was always there to help from behind the scenes. However, she couldn't find the pattern yet in her original time. And so she traveled to the future and discovered several different worlds that would soon come to an end courtesy of wielders of horrible magic items.

The Exiles

Jade has seen the most likely future and it isn't pretty. To prevent the future apocalypse in several linked worlds, she decided that the best way to save the worlds was to remove the weapons of destruction involved. This includes the Witchblade, Silver Legacy, Lasso of Truth, Hero Dial, Amulet of Isis, The Helmet of Fate, The Spear of Destiny, Cameo of Malice, Genetically Engineered Neural Intelligence Experiment, Orb of Power, and numerous Green Lantern rings. To acquire these objects of power she makes Panoptichron, the place outside of time, her new base and claims the Exiles as her own. Kiani, more than happy to relinquish the position of Timebroker, allows Jade to take over. Although Jade despises Xavier for deceiving her, she is unwittingly accomplishing his goal of world peace.

The Dark Crystal

Jade didn't exactly get a copy of the instruction manual for Panoptichron, so she did things her own way. When sending the Exiles on a mission, she whipped them to the reality via her time-teleportation powers instead of using the designated time pads. This disruption of "The Rules" created waves in Panoptichron, eventually splitting off a portion of Earth-313 when the Exiles returned from the mission. Both earth and civilians alike were displaced from their world into Panoptichron.

A self-appointed Timebreaker has taken up residence in the dark crystal castle.

Timebroker Abilities

• Immediate knowledge of super powered beings across the universe, to better chose a team suited to the mission at hand.
• Teleportation within Panoptichron
• Tallus communication
• High tech mesh: she acts as one with the technology that makes up Panoptichron's war room
• The castle obeys her every thought.

OTHER ABILITIES:
Autochronokinetic Psychometry: Can travel forwards/backwards through time, as well as slow it down. However, she is not currently aware of this ability. All Jade knows is that she can rewind time.

Chronoskimming: allows her to temporarily transplant a person's mind and send it through time into a younger/older version, or a close ancestor/descendant, or as a disembodied astral form. This probably accomplished through the combination of two powers, telepathy and chronokinesis. However, she is not currently aware of this ability. All Jade knows is that she can rewind time.

Retrograde: rewinds time and relives that time. All within a 10 foot radius are aware of the rewind. Any outside of the rewind are not aware of it. No prep time needed. Easily able to use this as a defense thanks to her high intuition.

Stop time: As a defensive manuver, Jade flings her hands up in front of her face, clenches her eyes shut and stops time. It does not start again until she calms down (usually one or two rounds). Anyone touching her does not stop. During this time she can attack or move as she likes.

Chronoskimming: allows her to temporarily transplant a person's mind and send it through time into a younger/older version, or a close ancestor/descendant, or as a disembodied astral form. This probably accomplished through the combination of two powers, telepathy and chronokinesis. Amazing.

Chrono-Shield: the unconscious emanation of a fourth dimensional pulse which creates a chrono-shield protecting her from changes in the timeline. Amazing.

Psychometric Projections: ability to mentally project past events. Amazing.

No Aging: Although Jade is NOT immortal, she has been traveling through time for so long that she has learned how to wrap time to her whim. She is constantly in flux, never allowing her body to age.

Retrograde: rewinds time and relives that time. All within a 10 foot radius are aware of the rewind. Any outside of the rewind are not aware of it. No prep time needed. Unearthly

Stop time: Jade snaps her fingers and stops time. Anyone touching her does not stop. During this time she can attack or move as she likes. Lasts until she leaves area. Unearthly.

Time Travel: Time travel is the process of leaving the timestream at a given point, traversing through the timeless realm of Limbo for a timeless interval, and re-entering timestream at another point, not having physically aged in transit.
Possesses the psionic power to displace herself and others at almost any specific point in the timestream and then reemerging in the physical world from as much as a few minutes to years by generating chronal energies. She could apparently travel in astral form as well. She could also travel to points in the future.
When this is done, the physical body in the present travels to the future or past. In other words, they disappear from their original time stream.

ABOUT THE TIME GEM:
This gem allows the user total mastery of time and allows the user to be in any period of time. From the primordial past, to the distant future, any age is accessible or visible through its power. With enough knowledge, even more can be done, as time and causality can even be manipulated with this gem. This would allow a user to even use time as a weapon, trapping enemies or entire worlds in unending loops of time. It can also cause those nearby to revert to a physically older or younger state.
