Beware the Nice Ones: He's a nice guy, but it's not wise to test his patience or get in his way.

Spoiler:

God parent: Zeus
Power(s)?:
Electricity generation which is somewhat taxing. If he can, it's much easier to simply manipulate an already present electric current.
Electromagnetism which is cool with his spear. He doesn't use this as much, as it requires a bit more energy.
Lightning redirection/absorption (basically, he can choose to send lightning someone sends at him back at them, or he can absorb electricity into his own body, which gives him a temporary but significant boost in power (higher speed, stronger attacks, healing, etc) or allow him to recharge his own powers.) Doesn't require any energy on his part, but he needs a source, so it can't be used whenever.
Backstory:
Born in Los Angeles, Jayce grew up in a suburban neighborhood just like any other kid. His mom was an intelligent and stunning woman who held a job as a lawyer, and a great one as that. He had a pretty normal childhood, and his mom made sure to have time for him since they didn't live outside of their means. However, everything changed when Jayce hit puberty, and not for the reasons you're thinking. Monsters began to find Jayce, and soon targeted in and out of school. Fortunately for him, instead of just being the monster's next meal, he suddenly developed his powers with lightning and electricity at the same time. It wasn't easy, but Jayce was able to fend the monsters off until the eleventh grade. Meanwhile, his mother had known nothing, and he'd grown stronger and stronger as a fighter, relying not only on his powers but on his wits. The monsters had started off small, but quickly grew in strength and numbers, and by the eleventh grade they'd become too much for him to handle. However, he wasn't ready to give in just yet. He was only required to take two classes, English and a final social studies class, and that's what he did. He was already ahead in math and science, so it was no big deal anyways. After second period, he would leave and go to a secluded area, somewhere like the beach or the warehouse district, and fight any monsters that came his way. Some days he got lucky and didn't have to fight, or only found a lone opponent, but most days it wasn't that easy. There were a lot of close calls, but somehow he made it through until graduation. Maybe it was just pure luck, but on graduation day not a single monster appeared. After that, however, he knew he couldn't endanger his mom, and he told finally told her everything he'd been through. She didn't want to believe it, but after he showed her the scars of the many battles he'd fought, she agreed he had to go. While he had no idea what was coming, she arranged for a flight to New York, and the rest is history.
Strengths:
Intelligence: Along with his HS diploma, Jayce is naturally intelligent and a great strategist.
Solid: Whether you just need someone to count on or to keep you safe, Jayce is pretty tough and can take a beating. He'll listen to your problems and be a shoulder to cry on if you need one.
Powers: Definitely a big part of his strengths, he uses his powers with lightning to fight. If he's around an electric object, he can drain it to power his own abilities, and he's had a lot of practice with it.
Social: He's really easy to talk to, charismatic and charming.
Weaknesses:
Claustrophobia: He can handle elevators, but not packed ones, and even then that's pushing it.
Unacrobatic: Jayce is about as limber as a log.
Overly mature: Can sometimes intimidate others because he's older than them, which makes it hard for him to relate to people that are younger than him.
Defensive To A Fault: Doesn't take shit from anyone.
Weapon(s): A silver spear called Thunder.
Other?: He wears a silver earring in the shape of a lightning bolt in his left ear.
