8 Facts About Jet Dancer

    1.      I created Jet Dancer in 2004 as part of a series of randomly designed female characters, random practice babes if you will. Jet was ninth in the series, effectively the pinnacle of the designs, and even though I had no plans of turning them into actual characters with stories at the time, Jet’s design, and the whole idea of half-naked warrior women with weapons on their bodies sat in the back of my mind for a long time, until in 2009 I decided to bring her back out and she became something of a hit…though it took another couple of years before she had something resembling a story and even longer before I produced even part of it in tangible form. www.amazon.com/Jet-Dancer-Danc…

    2.      Jet Dancer, or Jenna Delgado, is a genetically-engineered human growth-accelerated to appear to be a woman in her early 20s, though she is actually only around seven years old. While she does not have the mind of a child and is in fact quite intelligent, she lacks experience and she is very impulsive, often leading to property damage or a penchant to dive into situations without thinking. She stands about 5'4" without her boots on and she's around 6 feet tall with them on. Her weight is 140lbs boot-less, 200lbs with the boots.

    3.      Nanotechnology gives Jet Dancer (and her “sisters”) peak human physical strength, near limitless stamina and extreme durability. While she is not completely invulnerable, her body heals incredibly fast. In addition, her eyes actually have implants within them that give Jet various scanning capabilities. She can analyze both biological and mechanical internal systems and detect things such as accelerated heartrate, unseen wounds or illnesses, or weak points in hostile machinery, and so on. Her blue eye tends to glow brightly when scanning, and her red eye glows more brightly when she senses danger or is preparing for combat. This combined with her nanotech-fueled reflexes and strength, gives Jet a sort of “sixth sense”.

    4.      Jet uses a self-developed fighting style inspired by Taekwondo and Capoeira, with emphasis on kicks and acrobatics with very few punches. She relies primarily on her feet/legs as her weapons. However, Jet despises violence and will only resort to it when left with no other option.

    5.      Jet’s rocket boots, designed specifically to work with her unique physiology, are powered by the same nanotechnology that strengthens her body, and will not function if removed from her. They are far heavier and more durable than they appear, made of an unknown, experimental metal alloy with highly complex technology inside that allows Jet to control their ignitions by reflex. The boots are designed to give Jet momentum as she leaps about, ensuring that she makes as powerful an impact as possible when she lands from her tremendous leaps. Her gauntlets are made of the same material, but do not possess ignition abilities and are merely for protection; Jet can block attacks, or vault over rough or dangerous surfaces, etc.

    6.      Jenna is a very pleasant person. She seems simpleminded, even ditzy, on the surface, but it’s a front; she is in a constant state of analysis, always observing those around her. She maintains her positive demeanor, partly because she wants the good to be able to relax around her, and partly to lull any enemies into a false sense of security. However, Jenna has lost memories, the lack of which often has her wondering if her personality is even her own.

    7.      Jenna works by day at a local art and trade school, although she was left with a trust fund that guaranteed she would never need or want for anything material. She often participates as a model for life drawing classes, and she studies the arts herself (drawing, dance) in her spare time.

    8.      Jet’s relationship status is currently nonexistent. She’s still learning about herself and the world, as well as her place in it, and hasn’t entertained the notion of spending private time with any men. She is in many ways, as previously stated, still inexperienced…

Okay, let's see. I don't think I can think of eight people to tag here, but I do have a few in mind. Hopefully they'll be interested in talking about their characters.
