| Chamber: Initially a student and then music teacher for a short period of time, Jonothan Starsmore is the only child of English middle-class parents living in London. His relationship with them was always problematic - they tended to be too conservative for their rebellious music-playing son - but following his development of psychic powers, things became strained. In May 2003, duing the Great Mutant Headache, Jono lost control of his powers and exploded, destroying his chest and lower jaw. The incident brought him to the attention of the British health service, and when treatment proved unsuccessful, other arrangements were made for him.
Jono was brought to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters by Pete Wisdom, and from the start he was not exactly a beam of sunshine. Depressed about his accident, convinced he was a freak and there was no point in going about the normal course of living, he had several minor explosions, both with his power and on the journals. The arrival of Sarah Morlocke gave him someone to connect with, and the two self-proclaimed 'monsters' eventually moved into an old boiler room in the basement. When Paige Guthrie came to the school, her interest in him both confused and intrigued him, and an experimental kiss went disastrously wrong when Jono lost control of his powers and seriously injured her. Paige proved stubborn, and a series of emails exchanged between the pair whilst Jono was staying with Sarah at Emma's property in Maine settled things between them. Life at the mansion continued apace for Jono, with various small dramas but overall, general progress being made. The triangle with Angelo and Paige was resolved with both boys agreeing to share, and gradually they became friends. Jono also started playing guitar again, and became part of the school band, People Covered In Fish. However, the stress of Paige and Angelo both being abducted to Asgard and the lack of control over his power became telling, his remaining physical body beginning to literally crack under the strain. Taken by Emma to a series of experts in mutation, he eventually returned to the mansion when all attempts to help him proved useless. He began training with Nathan Dayspring and the Askani, but Sarah's departure proved the final straw and he exploded, destroying what was left of his physical form and becoming a glowing ball of psionic energy for many months. Only Forge's intervention enabled him to rebuild himself, for the first time since May 2003 being completely intact. He became the school's music teacher upon Alison's departure, and he and Paige shared a suite together. In November 2006, Jono had another accident, this time coming into contact with new student Kevin Ford. Kevin's powers caused Jono to lose his new body, and he was unable to rebuild it for any amount of time. Both boys were sent to Muir Island Research Facility for further treatment, with Paige also going in order to help her boyfriend. To this date, attempts to rebuild himself permanently have proven unsuccessful. This character is currently unplayed, but is open for applications.
