Rper: Imaginary
Character type: permanent
Name: Jasmin Lolita Cornejo
Nicknames: Jas, Jazzy (mostly used back before she lived with the bots), Ceiling Cat, Crazy Ass Bitch
Sex/Gender Identity: Female
Age: 17
Alliance: Autobot
Job: Jasmin lives at NEST because Arc adopted her after it was discovered her parents had been killed. While she doesn’t have a specific job she tries to help out however she can.
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 134 lbs
Personality: Jasmin is friendly and outgoing and very easy to get along with. She tends to treat everyone equally and gives them a chance even when most people wouldn’t. She’s also a bit hyperactive and definitely very odd, actually having a mental disorder called “Hypomania” though unaware of it. She will randomly do things like break into song and/or dance and is very prone to acting on impulse and can commonly be found chilling out in the ceiling earning her the nickname “Ceiling Cat”. She often comes up with crazy ideas like building a pirate ship out of duct tape complete with functional duct tape cannons. Her actions can often seem to defy reality making her very unpredictable.
She’s also quite loud and a party girl and, in that sense, not the best role model as she’s been known to sneak out and drink heavily as well as sneaking stashes of alcohol into the base despite being underage. However she values her freedom and this is one of the ways she expresses it so these habits are not likely to change any time soon. She can also be stubborn and persistent and will do whatever she wants so long as she thinks she can get away with it.
Her life on the streets has served to toughen her up and realize what things really matter in life. She comes across as being fearless and sometimes a bit selfish and bratty, a hold over from the survival skills she developed in the Detroit hood. She’s gotten it her head that she has to be “strong” and has developed a sort of “big girls don’t cry” mentality. Rather than showing fear she tends to get bold and courageous and sometimes even a bit obnoxious. But when it comes down to it Jasmin is a very kind, caring, and nurturing person who wants to help others however she can and is fiercely loyal to her friends.
Appearance:
Preferred Vehicle: Whatever she can get
Preferred Weapons: Revolver
Strengths: Jasmin is strong, quick, and nimble and very skilled at sneaking around. She also has mad escape artist skills having become quite interested in escape artists after being kidnapped a few times when she was a young girl. While the only weapon she carries is a regular revolver she is clever and knows how to use it quite effectively, having very good aim. She will, however, come to learn that just a normal revolver will not be sufficient for defending herself against Decepticons and will eventually try to find something with a bit more power though not anything really heavy duty. She also has a large number of various items in her backpack which she almost constantly wears, able to cram more stuff into it than one would think physically possible. Normally a few fireworks (likely illegal ones) are kept in there as well as a crowbar. Her life on the streets has given her a bit of skill in parkour and she often incorporates her dance moves into her fighting. She also has superb street racing skills and is also skilled at solving puzzles and mysteries and has some medical knowledge being an herbalist.
Weaknesses: While it could be said the Jasmin is rather extraordinary she is still human and can’t take the kind of damage Cybertronians and techno organics can. This is a bad thing considering how headstrong and reckless she can be. Also her impulsiveness can serve to work against her and get her into trouble. She also tends to have lapses in judgment when her friends are in trouble sometimes taking actions that actually serve to worsen the situation. While skilled with a gun and being quick, nimble, and unpredictable she has had no formal combat training and uses something close to a street fighting style pretty much making it up as she goes making her a bit weak against more experienced fighters.
Family: Her parents were killed and Arc adopted her though they have more of a sibling relationship than a parent-daughter one. She has no siblings and has not revealed the identities of any living relatives.
History: Jasmin was born and raised in the Detroit hood, her family pretty much as poor as you can get without being homeless. She’s lived a rough life being kidnapped from time to time when she was younger and mugged when she got a bit older. She often had to steal food for her family to eat and has become quite accustomed to running from both the crooks and the cops. She has a clean record due to the fact that she’s never actually been caught doing any of her illegal activities. She tried to keep it a bit of a secret where she lived and developed a habit of toning down her “street talk” when around those who weren’t from the hood, feeling that people would judge her based on her poverty level. She worked hard at developing her singing, acting and dancing skills, planning to become famous and use the fortune she got from it to get her parents out of that bad neighborhood. She was known to be one of the best street dancers in Detroit if not the best, able to pull off breakdancing moves that seemed to defy physics. On top of that she was also known as something of a local hero, using her strength to help those in need when they could not defend or help themselves having been in that same position in the past. When she was 15 she had gone to a party and gotten a bit drunk. She left by herself as was usual but a strange man snuck up behind her and drugged her. He took her back to a motel room where he proceeded to rape her. He was going to kill her but she managed to escape in time. This is where her severe drug phobia stems from and she doesn’t talk about the events of that night at all.
A few months ago she met Arc when she was being assaulted by some muggers who were beating her with a metal pole and Arc told them to stop. The muggers said “If you want us to stop show yourself!” and Arc proceeded to transform to robot form which effectively scared them off. Arc offered her a ride home and she accepted though she directed them to a nicer part of town. During the ride they found they got along really well and both loved music and singing even singing a couple of songs together. Arc dropped her off and they went their separate ways. About a month later she was kidnapped by some Decepticons to be sold on the black market as a pet or slave. Jasmin would have none of that and to the surprise and shock of many Decepticons escaped. She made herself a home for a couple weeks at a dumpster where Arc happened to come across her and brought her back to the Autobot base.
Once at the Autobot base Jasmin explained that she didn’t want to go back home because it could mean putting her family and friends there in danger. However she did want to let them know she was okay. She arranged for a message to be sent to her parents but when the message was to be delivered it was discovered that in the time she was gone her parents had been shot and killed in an armed robbery. The news hit Jasmin hard and she felt that if she’d been there she might have been able to prevent their deaths. Arc made the decision to adopt her so that she could live at the base where she would not only be well taken care of but protected as well. She adjusted to her new life quite well, grateful to have a roof over her head and not have to steal her meals anymore as well as for her best friend Arc and tries to repay everyone for their generosity by helping out however she can.
Additional information: She learned her herbal skills from her grandmother who was also an herbalist when she spent summer with her as a young girl and grows all her own herbs having a small greenhouse in her room with special lights to help the plants grow. However she may eventually ask if she could make a slightly bigger garden outside on the base property somewhere as she is using her herbal remedies for others and sometimes runs very low on certain herbs with such a small garden. Also the revolver she has is something she managed to hold onto from her life in the hood.
Custom title: Ceiling Cat
RP Sample:
The base was pretty quiet, which wasn’t surprising considering that it was almost 2am. Something could be heard shifting around in the ceiling and not long after the head of the resident ‘ceiling cat’ popped out and looked around. The coast was clear.
With a smirk Jasmin dropped down from the ceiling and landed in a crouch before standing and walking casually to her room shoving her hands into her pockets, a new stash of beer now hidden within the ceiling. With everyone being asleep it was the perfect time to sneak out, get some booze, and sneak back in. It wasn’t all that hard, Jasmin had come to learn how to navigate the entire base via the ceiling after all. She thought she heard something and paused though maintained a casual appearance. If she looked too nervous then it would be obvious she had been up to something. She leaned against a wall no longer smirking. The smirk might give her away too after all. She listened carefully and waited to see who was there, hopefully she hadn’t been caught.
