The Looks

Jacob is a fairly tall and lanky man. He's rather plain looking. His hair is short trimmed and he has perma-stubble for facial hair that's a bit more prominent around his chin to make it look like he has a slight goatee.
His costume is a fairly simple heavily layered black outfit that covers every inch of him.

The Legacy

Personality: Jacob is mostly a classic total psychopath. Though not the same as many. He completely understands the good qualites in people, and also how to tear them down for he doesn't believe they're part of a person's real nature. Jacob is great at manipulating others to the point he believes it's his real superpower and everything else is just stuff that lets him continuing doing so. He is very proud of his accomplishments and refuses to let himself be challenged or truly harmed by anyone that hasn't proven their worth. Jacob is fond of others whom are proud and seeking to prove their worth. He doesn't consider himself leadership material, preferring to make allies with those he feels he can easily work with, usually by manipulating them into thinking they have no reason to ever not trust him entirely.

History: Jacob Coleman started off as nothing. Plain looking, mundane life, nothing special about him. It was something he was left confused by even as a child. All that talk about how people are special and unique in their own individual ways and here he was with nothing to show for it. His real parents were only teenagers when he was conceived and put him up for adoption after two failed abortions brought him into this world. His adopted parents were generally good natured, but fairly incompetent at raising a child. They didn't know how to teach him anything of value and it left him unable to figure out what all these things he would hear mean't. Jacob would find himself ostracized everywhere in life and came to think this was his way of being special and unique, and it did not feel right to him. It wasn't good enough for him. He felt he deserved more.

Jacob would spend much of his childhood trying to find his place in this world, but years of failures and shortcomings slowly took their toll. The only things he found himself to be remotely good at were based around fear and control. This made him think he was mean't to be evil. Mean't to be a monster, and those thoughts awakened his powers. For a time he set about trying to understand his powers. The knowledge of people with powers in the world was becoming more and more widespread, and he knew he was one of them, and with these powers, he could make an impact and prove himself special and unique. Perhaps he had not been lied to as a child after all. They just didn't provide him with all the crucial information.

Jacob eventually decided to test out what he was really capable of as a monsters in this supposed safe world. He chose the name deathbringer due to how straightforward it was even if it did sound ridiculous. The somewhat laughable name only provided him with the motivation to make it one that would be feared by all those that heard it.

Jacob got his start when he would up joining a group of would be supervillains that were trying to make it big. Power-wise, they were mostly on the lower end of the scale and struggled to succeed at anything. Their ambitions were too far beyond them to begin with, and soon they drew attention from those that could easily stop them in their tracks. This included superheroes and the government. Jacob's desires to succeed slowly caused his powers to grow to the point where at one point he was one of the more powerful metahumans around, though this was short lived as the scale grew in capability over time to the point where most of the current metahumans quickly became obsolete by comparison. Jacob eventually took control over this group, though he had to kill the current leader in order to do it. He moved them away from those that knew them well and they travelled far and wide for a new place to start. They eventually settled in a town of less than 100 people. They wound up killing about a third of the population and have managed to keep their presence there a secret via Jacob's ability to influence people. He accomplished this by instilling in them the thought that trying to get help would be too much work. As a result they've secretly lived there for a nearly five years.

Despite having a safe place to live, the group constantly set out performing acts of villainy to challenge and improve themselves for Jacob simply refused to settle with controlling a tiny little town. The constant activity led to them becoming more well known as new members joined to replace those that were lost over time. By now only one member remains from when Jacob originally joined.

The Powers

Power 1: Jacob has developed extremely high levels of intelligence through a combination of studying, life experience and his metagene enhancing his brain's capacity for learning. He has also developed an ability to influence the minds of others(Mind control, player permission required to use on other character. I know the rules guys, don't worry.)

Power 2: Jacob is somewhat built like a slasher film killer. He is highly durable and can regenerate from fatal wounds very quickly. He's not quite unkillable, but seems to be pretty close to it, and may even improve over the course of time.

Weaknesses:
Limited combat skills: Jacob just is not much of a fighter and prefers to let others do the work whenever he can unless he feels like he'll win easily.
Obsessed with manipulating people: Jacob is a master of manipulation, but sometimes can't stop himself.
Likes to play games: He enjoys the thrill of the hunt and messing with people so much he oftens puts himself in danger.
Complexity Addiction: Jacob constantly tries to be too clever and artistic with his plans to the point that he might overlook seemingly insignificant details, thereby causing them to go astray.
