JAYCE GORDON BASICS

BY SIMBALLOON

NAME: Jayce Gordon
GENDER: Male
SPECIES: Living white lion plush/mascot
AGE: Not totally known.
HEIGHT: Approximately 6ft
WEIGHT: “Hey, that’s private!”
PLACE OF TRANSFORMATION: Seibu Dome in Tokorozawa, Saitama, Japan.
FORMER SPECIES: Human

STRENGTHS: Enhanced sight, hearing, sense of smell, strength, and speed. (Clocked at 60mph top speed.) Also, his body is very resilient, not easily torn or damaged and impossible to dismember. Any damage regenerates and repairs in moments and his whole body regenerates over night. Seems to have a bit of a sixth sense and is very intelligent.
WEAKNESSES: Energy pulses of the right strength and frequency can scramble what passes for a nervous system in Jayce, causing him the only source of actual pain and rendering him unconscious. If a limb is damaged bad enough, it will become paralyzed until the damage can repair itself/regenerate. Extreme cold can also effect him, causing his body to become too stiff to move and eventually render him unconscious. It is possible the being unconscious and immobile for more than 72 hours could either be fatal or cause him to revert back to human, but his body seems to have built-in defenses against this.

	Jayce is a bit of an ironic and even absurd twist in many ways. For one thing, Jayce is a Lion King fan, barely even into anime or Kimba the White Lion. Not that he hasn’t had curiosity about such things.  Jayce was just a regular human male until a fateful trip to the Seibu Dome in Tokorozawa, Saitama, Japan caused him to meet up with another white lion plush just like him. While the details are currently unknown, Jayce was somehow made to don an enchanted mascot suit, causing him to turn into an exact copy of the original Leo. So exact that if he were to don the full uniform, Jayce could walk into the Seibu Dome without anyone thinking he was nothing more than the Leo mascot.
	The transformation does seem to have pushed certain aspects of Jayce’s personality to the forefront, while pushing others to the background. He now seems more outgoing, curious, even excited to experience new things where he was once more of a quiet, unadventurous type. Although not into sports, Jayce now seems to like baseball, but isn’t obsessed with it. He also is a bit odd personality-wise, one moment seeming very deep and profound, then next he could be bounding around and gushing over something that he likes. Also he can be a bit mischievous. Jayce also seems to have become bilingual, now able to understand and speak both English and Japanese, where he never showed any ability to do that before. Lastly, Jayce seems to have a fair amount of common sense and is not a ‘Keep up with the Joneses’ type and always seems to have the desire to do the right thing and isn’t afraid to be the hero, even though he tends to be a bit humble about that.

ODDITIES:
	Finally, there are some oddities to Jayce’s new form. The first is his diet, which now consists of fabric strips the same type of his construction and either shredded foam or polyester fibers that can be used by his body for repairs of any damage or injury. The only regular food he can eat is Pocky and it is unknown where it goes after he eats it! While he moves in a normal manner, Jayce’s body can flex a lot more than a human body and even compress some to squeeze into tight spots. He can also seem to leap high into the air and has been known to easily leap off three to four story buildings without any bad effects to his body. Lastly, Jayce’s big, plastic eyes don’t actually move! He seems to have a full range of vision, even enhanced vision that allows him to zoom in on far objects and experience greatly enhanced night vision.

	Right now, any examination of Jayce’s new form causes more questions than answers and being that he is one of only two of his kind known in existence means that there is really nothing in previous experience to compare him to. One could say he is like the Six Million Dollar Man if the character from that old TV series had been fully bionic. For now, all we can do is watch and observe these new creatures and hope that stay on our side!
