• Biography

  Jaycee was born to Evan and Susan Cummings, high school sweethearts who married shortly after graduation. They were absolutely positive that they were having a boy, so they didn't bother with ultrasounds to confirm (or deny) their belief. They were, therefore, quite surprised when the doctor announced "It's a girl!" They had already grown attached to the boy name they had picked out, so they simply attached it to their daughter anyway. Susan spent the first several years of her daughter's life trying to force "boy" interests on her, but she balked as soon as she was old enough to start making her preferences known, and that was also when she chose the nickname "Jaycee" from her initials: J. C. She still bore a lot of teasing throughout her years at school, simply for being the girl with the boy name (it wasn't yet trendy for girls to have obvious boy names in the 1990s).
  
  It was in high school that Jaycee suddenly found herself wishing to go back to just being teased for her name. Another girl, Laura Hayes, who had been in her class since kindergarten, had spent their entire lives making it her mission to make Jaycee's life miserable, making sure that everyone knew her real name. In November of their sophomore year of high school, Jaycee had run to the girls' room to hide during lunch and ran into Laura and her posse. As Laura needled Jaycee, Jaycee's temper flared up... and so did Laura's hair. Laura was taken to the hospital and Jaycee was arrested by the police. After gathering witness statements, the police handed Jaycee off to The New England Facility For The Gifted ("The School" as all the mutants referred to it). Jaycee underwent tests, scans, examinations; she was poked and prodded, had blood drawn, was subject to a lifetime's worth of horrors.
  
  But she was one of the lucky ones, who was given a semblance of freedom. The School saw something in her that they thought would be useful, so they got her training to learn how to control and improve her powers, and eventually she was given assignments with jobs to do on behalf of the government. Knowing that the penalty for not doing her assignments was death, she carried them out, but unhappily. Eventually she was even allowed to live outside of The School.
  
  On New Year's Eve, 2012, Jaycee was on her way home from a job when she heard suspicious noises. Following them, she found a stairway. The top of the stairway didn't lead into another floor of the abandoned building it was in, but rather... a grassy field. And the stairway was gone. She had no idea where she was, or how she had arrived there, but she headed to the walled city that she could see in the distance. Once she arrived there, she was met by someone who was able to inform her where she was, that there would be no going back home, and more information than she had thought she would need. She stayed in the castle for a few weeks before she ended up drawn to a small, cozy townhouse. It was her home, though she couldn't tell you how she knew that. Once she got used to Abenterra, she set to work exploring not only the town but the doors and stairways, wanting to see what else was out there.
