Paperboy

Paperboy (full name: Jason Owens) is a protagonist of the Blacklight series of video games, and a member of the Insurgence. Paperboy is quite distant from the other members of the Insurgence, due to his family being kidnapped by Schatten and his father beaten to death directly in front of his eyes. Paperboy is almost never seen without his newspaper, which hides a small camera and microphone that he uses to scout with.
==History==
Prior to joining the Insurgence, Paperboy was a, fitting to his name, a paperboy who delivered Sky News newspapers to every home in Sky City. Upon Schatten's takeover, Paperboy quit his job and went back home to try and keep his family safe from harm. One day, a Spitron Mech broke into his house, and forced him and his family to go to work at the Spitron factory. While his mother and sister put up no fight, his father did, and was killed in front of the family for retaliation. Paperboy managed to escape, though resents not going back to save his mother and sister, whom he believes were both beaten to death because of his actions.
He fled to the quickly-enlarging ghettos of Sky City, where he accidentally interfered with one of Blacklight's plans involving the blue Kirby and his partner. He joined later after knowing "top secret information" about their hideout and plans.
