History
Jane Worth is the third of four children. His father was an Army man, killed in action when Jane was just four. As a result, Jane's mother moved them from the Army base and into a small but comfortable house near his grandparents house. Growing up, Jane spent a lot of time around his grandfather, a former pilot for the British RAF, hearing stories about the bombers and flying during the wars. He grew steadily more infatuated with the concept of flying a jet or plane or even just being in a plane.
When Jane's mother remarried and fell pregnant, Jane was the only member of the family still around to help out with the new baby. Jane became more than an older brother for his half-sister, while his mother worked her night job and his step father lazed around. When Jane was fourteen, little sister Louisa just five at the time, their mother divorced her second husband, and moved them again.
At sixteen, fresh out of high school, Jane joined the Air Force, much to his mothers disgust -losing her husband in the Forces left an ill feeling towards them all. But Jane's grandfather fully supported his decision, and this was enough for Jane to work his ass off through the Air Force. Despite a few frictions -mostly because of Jane's playful nature and slightly rebellious edge, Jane did well, not exactly decorated, but well liked and well known for his dedication and focus while serving.
While deployed, Jane's powers made themselves known. During a fire fight, Jane's jet was under fire and took a hit. It was the panic during the crash that triggered the onset of his powers, effectively nailing him to his pilots chair and saving his life following a malfunction with his parachute. After working his way back from behind enemy lines, accompanied by his co-pilot, Jane was questioned for hours following the speculation that he was a mutant.
Facing the possibility of a dishonourable discharge on slightly trumped charges, Jane was given the choice -join Stryker's 'elite' team, or lose everything.
He was deployed to Russia the following week to await the arrival of his new CO.
Working in Russia was strained and somewhat uncomfortable; Jane missed the pilots chair like nothing else and not even his sister could change that. Luckily, the Air Force had a change of heart and pulled Jane from the Army team, sending him on a few long haul missions in a tour of duty. Jane returned from two suicide missions but was falsely diagnosed with PTSD, allowing the Air Force to pull his active status without worry of being called on prejudice.
Having already served for a few months on the team, Jane's named popped up on a database when he was flagged for inactive status with the Air Force. With his forces training and rank, along with his core discipline for orders and chain of command, Jane was reassigned and sent to Washington state while on the inactive list.

Military trained, Jane has a smart posture and well kept appearance, although his hair is just past the usual military cut, Jane takes this as a tiny rebellion due to his current inactive state. Always adhering to dress code, Jane sticks to his uniform; black combat pants, black t-shirt and a black shirt with military issue boots -occasionally untied at the top for ease of removal. When dressing down, Jane is a jeans and shirt sort of guy and has a mild affinity for check and flannel, which he blames on his mother.
Personality
Jane is a rather playful individual. Although a little bit mischievous and dorky, he has a far more serious side hidden underneath -mostly seen when he is on assignment or following orders. He's a little bit vain -something he tries to hide but blames on his little sister, and has rather thick skin [he was a boy named Jane in the military academy, how much thicker can you get?] and usually brushes things off with easy nonchalance and laid-back attitude.
He's not a typical flyboy, but he has his moments. Although he does take the 'don't ask, don't tell' to higher levels due to his mutation. He's playful and fun, enjoys a good laugh or prank and has been known to spin a good tale; mostly useful when covering for someone. He's loyal almost to a fault and doesn't believe in leaving anyone behind. Expert marksman and very skilled pilot. He still believes there is nothing better than being in the air.
Mutation
Jane has the power to produce bone like spikes from any area of his body. With a conscious thought, he can create any length or size of spike from a certain area and fire it or pull it from his body. Jane tends not to flash off his powers -the likeliness of him being discharged hindering his ability to fully utilise his powers although he is quite skilled in producing narrow, strong bones from his arms and wrists to shoot at the ground, trees or various targets.
Occasionally, the production of bones can prove painful for Jane, especially if under stress or panic, in which case the bones can spurt from almost anywhere and subconsciously. Jane's back is particularly sensitive to the production of bones from his spine. While Jane's skin doesn't bleed, it does tear and occasionally it will inflict an injury if the spike is released due to a sudden outburst.
