Name: Jay Alva
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Faction: Mark 21s

Appearance:Jay stands at 6'0" and weighs 170lbs though it is mostly muscle from his exercise regime. Jay used to be tanned from spending a lot of time out in the sun but due to the weather around Hotel Raou this is starting to fade. He has matted blonde hair that goes down just past his shoulders and unkempt stubble to match. His face is rather square with a high forehead, thin nose and thin lips. His blue eyes are deeply set and he has thin eyebrows.

Jay typically wears t-shirts or vests along with a pair board shorts and a pair of DC Wild Dove trainers that he looted.

Biography: Jay was the second child born to Stacy and Jim Alva. His sister Peggy is four years older than him. The only significant part of Jay’s childhood was the frequent arguments and fights he had with his sister. These fights only became worse as the two got older and Jay would leave the house to calm down and escape punishment from his parents, at least until he returned.

Jay's school life before High School was unremarkable as well, he was an average student who didn't do poorly in any subject but wasn't exceptional at any subject either. It was when he entered High School however that things started to change for Jay. The first major change in his life was that his parents divorced. This led to Stacy leaving Brockton altogether and both Peggy and Jay becoming estranged from Jim. This in turn meant that Jay started to get involved with the Mark 21s at first it was to escape from his home life but eventually he found himself sticking around due to the excitement being with the Mark 21s provided.

At first his activities within the gang were just limited to vandalism and tagging territory. During this time his attendance at school and his grades steadily declined but Jim was too busy trying to sort his own life out to notice. Jay himself started to get bored of what he was doing with the Mark 21s and started trying to prove himself to them so that he could become a full-fledged member of the gang. Jay also started working out and running to improve his strength and fitness. Due to his willingness to do any job that was asked of him Jay quickly gained a reputation within the gang itself as a reliable member.

After the Riverside Incident Jay initially believed he hadn't mutated like many other people had. This caused Jay to become extremely frustrated especially when he was around other Mark 21s who had powers and liked to flaunt the fact. He ended up moving into Hotel Raou permanently around this time after his dad was taken away by the military and even though he had slowly been drifting away from his dad having him forcefully being taken out of his life only served to make Jay's anger at the time worse.

Jay discovered his power after playing a game of cards with other members of the Mark 21s. He threw a card he'd be fiddling with at another player and when they went to catch it the edge of the card cut their hand. Jay, excited by the prospect of actually having a power tried again and used a card to cut another one in half. In light of this discovery Jay quickly went to work as a very active member of the gang again and started to re-establish himself as a well-known member of the gang. He received the nickname Edge after his power was discovered after jokingly being called it before when he first trying to join the gang.

Power: Jay has the power to sharpen the edge of any object to a cutting point just by rubbing the edge between his fingers, this can be done on an edge that is rounded or dull and it will be able to cut things even though it won't have appeared to change. The other physical properties of the object will stay the same; the only thing that will change is its ability to cut. The cutting edge that Jay grants an object is the equivalent of a sharp combat knife.

Jay is not immune to the effect of his own power and can be cut by an object he sharpens. The sharpness of the object will also degrade over time until it returns to its normal state although this takes around six hours.

Starting belongings: Two Glock 18's, one for fully automatic fire and one for semi-automatic and a pack of cards.

After his Jim was taken away? You mean 'after his father', right?

It's Mark 21s, not 21's. No apostrophe.

Few grammatical bleeps and bloops in the profile proper, but no more in the headings (which are kind of the big ones). Just give it a proofread if you want while fixing those other two things, and everything else should be fine.
