Canon: Supernatural
Character: Jesse Turner
Timeline: At the end of season five episode six (I Believe the Children Are Our Future) right as Jesse’s traveling to Australia. He’ll end up in Adstringendum instead.
Personality:
First and foremost, Jesse is a child. He’s elven years old, and while he’s a mature eleven-year-old who’s just been informed several deaths were his fault, he is still a child at heart. He enjoys childish things. And more than that, he’s gullible, in a sense. He’s quick to believe everything he’s told, no matter how far-fetched. His parents told him a joy buzzer could electrocute you, that itching powder makes you scratch your brains out, that if you make a face for too long, it’ll stick that way, that the tooth fairy was really a fat, bearded man in a tutu with fairy wings, who came in the night and took your teeth, giving you quarters in return. He was told all of that, and he believed it. Even when Dean, a person he’d only known for a few minutes, disproved one of these things, and later when he was sat down and told he was a superhero, he believed it in a matter of seconds. He’s a good kid, and has a good heart, but he’s incredibly fast to believe things, even if he knows he really shouldn’t.
But there’s a bit of a backlash to being gullible and being easily tricked. And that’s the fact that Jesse’s been lied to his entire life. His parents told him silly stories, got him to believe things that weren’t real, but in addition to that... he’s only just learned that he was adopted. That his parents had been lying about actually being his parents for his entire life. That everything he’d ever known had just been one, big lie. And then these men had come in, had turned his life upside down, but even worse? They’d done so by lying to him. Even the woman who came even later and told him that she was his mother had been lying. Everyone lies and he hates it. So even though the truth was eventually spelled out for him, it’s left him with a bitter taste in his mouth. His capability to trust has been severely shifted. Shattered, even. He’s wary around people, wary of what they say, and if he finds out that someone has been lying to him? He’ll be hurt. Hurt and angry, and that’s when his powers really start to lash out.
Now, while he is a child, he’s anything but a normal eleven-year-old. He’s been on his own at home for so long, living perfectly well without much help from his parents. He walked himself to and from school, upheld a B average in school, and even went about cooking, using the stove, and making dinner for himself. Even after everything, after his entire life was turned upside down, after he was told he could never see his parents again, Jesse decided to leave. He not only told the Winchesters okay, that he would go with them, but he actually left. He left his normal life behind, resigned himself to a life of secrecy and hiding... but he left, on his own. He made the very grown-up decision to leave in order to keep his parents safe at the age of eleven. And even more than that, in the face of something impossible, in the face of a demon throwing around people that he’d just met, hurting them, he stood up and yelled at her, to leave them alone.
But Jesse really isn’t a normal child. He’s always known that he was different, and as such, he doesn’t quite have the normal emotional range of a child. He’s almost a bit closed off, a bit unexpressive. He has emotions, yes. He hurts and loves and cares and fears, and its all written in his eyes, in his voice, but it takes a lot to get him to really express it. Even when he was being told everything was a lie, that his parents weren’t his actual parents, when the demon possessing his birth mother asked if he was angry, all he did was stand still and clench his fist, but the entire house shook. Even after everything, when he was trying to figure everything out, there was only one point where he broke down, almost crying, saying he was just a kid. That this wasn’t really fair. But in the end, he’s a tough kid. He can hold things together, he’s more mature and can handle difficult situations well, and he knows what’s what, as well. He’s very upfront about being a freak, being different, and he knew even before the Winchesters told him that he had to leave.
He’s a good kid, with a good heart, who has a difficult future ahead of him back home, but he’s hardly useless, and he’s hardly helpless. He can hold it together in a crisis, and he knows how to take care of himself. Both in a fight and in a more normal sense of the word.
Background:
Eleven years ago, a normal woman, none-the-wiser to the things in the dark, found herself taken over by a dark smoke. She did horrible things, killed and tortured people, and at the end... well, the demon wasn’t just using her body to go around wreaking havoc. The demon was priming her to get pregnant. The kicker? She was a virgin. A virgin body, possessed by a demon, giving birth to an impossible child. And after nine months of living through utter hell, the baby was born, the demon was weak, and the woman - Julia Wright - managed to take control, to ingest pure salt in order to get the demon out of her body, to get control back completely and totally.
She was then left with the question of what to do with the baby? This innocent thing that was born of something evil, something completely unholy. For a moment, she entertained thoughts of killing him, of just ending it all right then and there, but while the kid might have been the demon’s child... he was just a child. So in the end, she put him up for adoption, and tried to never, ever look back.
Jesse was then adopted by a nice, normal family. And while they were the kind that worked all day, and left him mostly to his own devices, far too busy with work to ‘babysit’ most of the time, he grew up as a nice, normal boy. He went to school, came home, did al his homework, made himself dinner, and had been doing so for years by the time anything weird started happening. By the time the apocalypse kicked off and things started going haywire... by the time his powers manifested.
Things started happening in Alliance, Nebraska. A girl scratched into her own brains, another got fried to death by a joy buzzer. Even more strange cases started popping up, including people making faces and having them stick that way, a man getting all his teeth ripped out by a guy in a tutu, quarters left for each one, people getting hairy palms... and all the while, Jesse was living at the epicenter. At the very center of everything weird that was happening in town. So of course, as with any hunt, Sam and Dean Winchester showed up on his doorstep, flashing FBI badges, asking questions.
And, for some reason, they started telling him that joy buzzers couldn’t do anything more than give people a little shock, that itching powder couldn’t make people scratch their brains out. And suddenly? That little buzzer that had fried a man to death and cooked a raw hunk of ham in just a few seconds... was nothing more than an ordinary buzzer.
Of course, Jesse didn’t know any of that. For him, that was just one strange thing in the middle of an extremely ordinary day. So, everything progressed as normal for him, up until the next evening, when he was up and fixing himself a glass of water to try and fall back to sleep. And when he turned around? A man in a trench coat was telling him it was alright, that his parents were asleep. He backed him into a corner, the house really was quiet, despite Jesse yelling for help from his parents, and when the man pulled out a knife?
He turned him into a plastic figure.
From there, everything went insane. The FBI agents from earlier came running in sitting him down and telling him he was a sort of superhero with superpowers, and soon after, another woman did too. A woman with black eyes, who flung the agents into the wall and told him she was his real mother. Soon enough? Jesse found out everyone was lying to him. So, in an attempt to learn the truth, he released the demon’s hold on the men, forced her to sit down and shut up, and he learned the truth. He learned that he was the offspring of a human and a demon, with powers that could, potentially, help destroy the world.
But he wasn’t going to let that happen. He liked his family, his life. He liked humanity. So, he banished the demon and talked to the boys. He listened to them, learned that if he told his parents where he was going, or even if he stayed with them, he was putting them at risk. He learned that he had to go with them to this place. To hide away and learn to control his powers. To get trained in the life. He had to grow up to be a weapon. So instead, he got up, asked to say goodbye to his parents, and headed upstairs.
And he left. He turned everyone in the town who was still alive back to normal, including Castiel, and he left. Just closed his eyes and thought of the place he wanted to go to the most, Australia.
Too bad nothing ever works out as planned.
Abilities/Additional Notes: Now the first thing you need to know about Jesse ability wise is that he’s not just a normal human. Anything but, despite appearances. He’s the child of a human and a demon. An antichrist, a cambion. And as such, he has certain abilities that put him a step above other humans.
Reality Warping. The first part of Jesse’s powers lies in his ability to warp reality. When or if he’s in danger, or simply if he believes in something enough, reality can begin warping around him. Back home, it made him do things without him even knowing. He made one girl literally scratch her brains out from a pack of itching powder, made another man get electrocuted to death from a joy buzzer. Hell, he even made a version of the tooth fairy show up and rip some poor guy’s teeth out of his mouth. A lot of his power of reality manipulating stems from what he’s thinking and feeling, what he wants and what he believes. But this also applies to what he wants to believe as well.
Once an idea is planted in his head, his imagination will start to run wild with it. He might dismiss it at first, but if its said in a way that frightens him, that gets him emotionally involved, it will spread through his mind to the power center inside of him. Now, at this point in his development, this is the only real hold he has over his powers. The only time he can really control them is in his immediate defense. And even then, what he does is entirely childish and completely random. Take, for instance, when he was attacked by Castiel in his home. While he could have simply made Castiel powerless, or sent him elsewhere, maybe even restrained him with conjured up restraints, that’s not what happened. Instead? He turned him into a plastic figure and kept him that way until Jesse had left the house.
Now, while Jesse can technically bend reality to his will... he is just an eleven year old boy. One who’s only been aware of his powers for only a few hours and as such, he’s extremely limited as to what he can consciously do. Castiel once said Jesse could destroy the heavenly host with a single thought if he wanted, but honestly? That isn’t anywhere in his scope of abilities right now, and maybe not ever. Jesse wasn’t raised to be the cambion, he was raised to be a normal child. Raised in a normal house by parents that weren’t ‘in the life’. He might be a half-demon, but he has the naivety of a regular human, and is a good kid at the heart of it all. And as such, he’s limited his own powers. He could do powerful, horrible things, and yet he doesn’t.
So, these parts of his powers, when he’s not in immediate danger, only really come out in his unconscious mind. A lot of the time, when he recognizes something is his doing, he can counter it and negate the effects he’s caused, but sometimes certain things (like getting hairy palms after masturbating) just don’t go away very easily.
Telekinesis. Jesse has shown significant telekinetic and terrakinetic abilities in the short time his powers were explored on screen. Higher demons in the Supernatural verse have easier times tossing people into walls and pinning them there, sure, but Jesse can break the holds demons have on people without even breaking a sweat, can even force them into chairs and keep their mouths clamped shut with a simple word. This really only comes into play when he’s pissed, however. Normally, he can barely make a glass shake or a spoon bend. But when he’s pissed? Well. A simple clench of his fist causes the ground to start shaking. A person is flung through the air with horrendous ease.
Shielding. An important bit of Jesse’s power is that he can’t be found so long as he doesn’t want to be found. He is shielded from both angels and demons in his universe, but he actually can hide his presence to kind of fall off the radar, to make himself unnoticeable to those with powers. Untraceable.
Teleportation. The last bit of Jesse’s powers comes in the form of his ability to be anywhere he wants with a thought. Most of the time, its easier for him to see a picture of where he’s going, or to have a clear picture in his mind, but sometimes he can teleport in a crisis to somewhere he doesn’t know, he just always runs the risk of ending up in a wall or even in mid-air.
