Ep. 3

**Jason Miller** is a member of the Sunrise Frontier. He joined the gang in 2162 while Constantin Parlescu and Paul Loredan were looking for Ash Roslyn. He is played by Conscript.

### Early life

Jason was born in White Bay in 2108 to a father who dedicated his life to hunting and a mother who dedicated her life to adventure. Not much is known of his childhood, though Jason has commented that his father got killed while Jason was still a baby, his mother passed away while he was still a child and he escaped as a result.

### Teenage years

During his teenage years, Jason would wander through the wastes with no idea of where to settle. It was around this time when Jason first met one of his buddies, Jesse. If Jason's stories were to be believed, Jesse would've suffered from third-degree burns over 90 percent of his body for frying a turkey, would've stolen an abandoned vineyard on the West Coast, would've caused mayhem in a bar because of a raw steak and would've been killed by a bunch of bandits while looking for food.

### Jessica and Lake Erie

At his 20s, Jason moved near Michigan. There, he met Jessica and the two became best friends. This would eventually evolve into a relationship and the two would get married the next decade. Afterwards, they both had a son, Jake. Unfortunately, Jason was forced to shoot Jessica at the age of 47 because she was turned into an eldritch after an attack. According to Jason, Jessica was the reason why he managed to cope with his mother's passing. Jason also calls her "the most beautiful woman in the world".

After his wife's death, Jason escaped with Jake, this time near Lake Erie. However, one day, while he was scavenging for supplies, someone told Jason that a bunch of bounty hunters entered his house, stole everything and shot Jake. This made Jason escape for the last time, this time to Lake Erie itself, where he spent the rest of his 40s and early 50s alone.

## Sunrise Frontier

In 2162, Jason was having his usual walk around the Erie Station Power Plant. There, he met Constantin Parlescu and Paul Loredan, two of the founders of the Sunrise Frontier who were looking for the fifth founder, Ash Roslyn. Jason joined them on the search and began looking for Ash. They found her and the three members of SF let Jason join the gang.

During his time on the gang, Jason has met a lot of people whom he holds good relations with and has tried to help the gang as best as possible even when taking his age and mental health into consideration. Although his stay on the gang has led to several incidents which Jason considers to have changed his perspective on friendships for the better.

### The Alumni Incident

At the same year after joining the Sunrise Frontier, Jason was going for a walk with Rose and Joey. However, they happened to end at the Alumni campus which was currently under attack. While Jason and Joey were free to go, Jason refused to go because he wanted to get Rose out of the Compendium.

This resulted in a battle between Jason, Joey (who was with Jason), Rose (who helped Jason and Joey, though not in person) and the Alumni which ended with Jason killing at least more than 50 people whether directly or indirectly. If the attack wasn't already enough to bring problems to Bargetown, Jason's actions caused most of Bargetown's supplies to be depleted and all medical centres in and out of Bargetown to collapse.

The event largely marked Jason because he didn't expect to have that much blood on his hands. Since this circumstance, he has vowed to never partake in any event similar to the incident because he wishes to not be seen as a bloodlusted person.

### Quest for Jessica

In 2163, Jason found out that Jessica's body was in a base used for testing and researching weapons. Thanks to this information, Jason decided to tie loose ends and proposed raiding the base with Sunrise Frontier to find his wife's body and give her a proper burial.

The raid was successful, with Jason being able to find his wife's body and carrying it out of the base which promptly collapsed thanks to several explosives being planted by Rose. Jason walked with some of the gang members and the body for a few miles until he found a proper place: the beach right under the lighthouse of Southpoint. There, he gave his wife a final goodbye and he let her body rest on the lake and watched as it drifted away.

After many years of grief, Jason thought he finally found peace. He thought that this was the loose end which he had to tie and he was totally ready to leave it all behind and retire from everything. However, this proved to be a complete lie. This was the catalyst for something he thought he left behind. The cracks began to show on his journey.

### Mental Downfall

At first, Jason was feeling alright. He managed to do the one thing he wanted to do for years, so he felt free. Unfortunately, problems started to show up on his head. The trauma of his mother and wife's passings started to resurface and he started hearing and talking to them as if they were there, in front of him. According to Jason, while his mother was still as caring as always, his wife was acting really hostile, telling him to kill himself.

Because of this, Jason almost killed himself in one of the camps of Sunrise Frontier. After this incident, Jason left the camp and decided to isolate himself in an attempt to recover. While this lasted for a while, Jason's condition began worsening to the point where he started having hallucinations of both his mother and his wife. This drove him to almost killing himself again. Although he managed to recover, his cabin got raided and he was forced to retreat back to Sunrise City with the gang.

It was clear Jason couldn't hold himself together as he kept hearing voices, seeing things he normally wouldn't see... It was time for a change. This didn't last long, however, as he once again escaped from the gang to isolate himself. This time to a cabin right near Southpoint. The isolation didn't last long either since he was brought back to Sunrise City by Jade Grenaroe. This was the last time Jason attempted to isolate himself. He thought it was about time he pulled himself together and decided to stick with the gang for as long as he could.

It was time to get back to work.

### Back to Work

Since then, Jason has been trying to recapacitate as much as possible with the help of Sunrise Frontier. He believes he owes the gang for many things and he tries to repay as much as he can to them by helping them wage war against Guns of Moses and going on different adventures, even if he has physical disabilities like the splint on his right leg, and looting.

## Physical Overview

### Physical Build

Physically, Jason was taller than usual for someone of his age, reaching 203 centimetres (or 81.6 inches/6'8'' using the Imperial system). His weight was average, though (?), as it came to approximately 95.8 kilograms (or 216 pounds).

Now whether he's jacked/buffed or fat remains unknown as he basically hides it all under clothing and he refuses to reveal that information to anyone as he believes it is completely irrelevant to everything around them and he finds that sort of information very embarrassing. However, he makes jokes when someone tells him that he's tall by often saying he ate his veggies.

### Strengths and Weaknesses

*(Note from the editor: I am not one to talk about strengths of my characters, especially this one, but here we go I guess)*

Jason's weaknesses arrive from the amount of times he got shot, which is perfectly explained by the splint on his right leg and his age which has made him less agile and has made him lose most of his endurance. All this coupled with his mental problems (schizophrenia, stuck in the past, etc.) has made him question his worthiness in the gang and how long will he last before someone finally shoots him dead.

Despite being quite strong for someone his age, he doesn't like to use that strength unless forced to and refuses to be complimented by this. His intelligence and quick thinking makes him able to improvise in dangerous situations, like in the Alumni Incident. Since he was mostly alone on the Wastes (except when he was with Jesse and Fred), Jason has been able to have almost perfect marksmanship but not without its issues as he can still miss targets.

## Mentality and Personality

### Personality

*(Note from the editor: I really like talking about this as well. I usually highlight the good parts of my characters and I always try to make things way too OP and things which scream blatant glorification. Therefore, if there is anything which glorifies Jason too much, just tell me and I'll make it glorify him more)*

When first met, Jason will appear as a bit distant. However, he will attempt to open up as much as possible to someone when he realises they do no harm. Even if he believes he is worthless from time to time, Jason still takes the war against Guns of Moses very seriously. He is a charismatic man, although he spends most of his time telling stories about his mother, his wife, his old friends or something which reminds him of the situation at hand. He is brave, although a tad bit stubborn and he always tries his best to help those in need as much as possible.

Jason is usually more comfortable with the gang due to the amount of time they spent together and he usually makes a few jokes here and there with them, but it always comes back to him telling stories.

### Mental Problems

Jason has severe schizophrenia, dementia, autism, adhd, joe biden syndrome, and baller disease, the last of which causes him to be Extremelybased
