## Appearance

Standing at about 6'2", Jason is a tall young man with an athletic build and a square jaw. His black, messy hair is usually parted down the middle and ends just above his shoulders. He has thick, expressive eyebrows, and his light tan face is framed by thick sideburns. His nose is hooked, and is expression often seems aloof or lost deeply in thought.

### Civilian Clothes

Jason tends to be very low-effort in the way he dresses. He almost always wears a button-down shirt (usually denim or patternless) over a t-shirt often featuring some kind of logo or picture he finds amusing, and a dark pair of skinny jeans.

### Hero Costume

Jason does not have a physical hero costume, as he has learned he can create his own armor on-the-spot with his psychic construct abilities. Seeing as he's simply generating something different every time he "suits up," his costume does not have a set appearance. The only constants present are the color, which is the same as all his constructs, and that he clearly takes inspiration from medieval armor.

## Powers

### Psychic Constructs

With only his mind and the energy around him, Jason has the ability to create temporarily physical items. Most often he will use this power to create weapons (throwing knives, swords, staffs, etc.) or shields and armor. He is learning that he can also things such as stairs or platforms, or giant hands that mirror the actions of his own.

The appearance of these objects resemble oil slick, iridescent and sticky, but are rock solid when touched. When Jason is done with the object, it appears to melt and then disintegrate, leaving little to no traces behind.

## Background

### Pre-Big Team

Jason was born in Halcyon City to his mother, Leah, who worked as an elementary school teacher, and his father, Joshua, a college professor. His life was largely ordinary till the age of two, when his mother was killed in a car accident. Unable to deal with the loss, Jason's father dropped him off at his parents' house in Pennsylvania and largely cut contact from then on.

Too young to have any memories of his parents, Jason never experienced any feeling of loss and was happy with his grandparents. His grandmother started teaching him how to knit very early, and every summer was spent in a cabin near Lake Erie, where his grandfather taught him how to fish and swim.

Unfortunately, his grandmother was diagnosed with cancer when he was ten, and passed away two years later. For about a year, it was just Jason and his grandfather, until he lost him as well, to a sudden heart attack. Initially unsure of where he would go from there, a family friend managed to find his father, who still lived in Halcyon City with his new wife, and convinced him to take Jason back in. While nervous about moving in with people who were basically strangers to him, he was excited to finally meet and get to know his father.

The excitement did not last long, as Jason soon picked up on the fact he was viewed as a mere obligation. His basic needs were met and he was rarely told "no" when he asked for things, but his father and step-mother seemed to have no interest in getting to know him. This, paired with his grief and not knowing anyone in the city, lead to him becoming reclusive and quiet. He also developed a habit of wandering around Halcyon City, at first just to avoid the unwelcoming house, but over time he developed a legitimate interest in exploring.

Jason's life took a major turn shortly after his seventeenth birthday, when venturing farther outside of the city than usual. There, he came across an abandoned building that almost seemed to be calling him in, deeper and deeper into the seemingly endless floors below. Finally, he discovered a chest containing an old amphora jar, an illegible scroll, and several rod-shaped objects. As if in a trance, he opened the jar and-

Woke up in his room the next morning, with a strange scar across his right palm, and the chest and its contents tucked away in his closet. For several days he was left confused over what had happened, until late at night, when *It* finally spoke. A rumbling voice in Jason's head explained its name was Ikythri, and had been trapped in slumber for thousands of years. By opening the jar, Jason had somehow triggered its awakening, and was now bound to it as a "prophet" of sorts, granted some of its powers in exchange for spreading the knowledge of its existence and in turn, strengthening it so it could eventually rise and end the world as we know it.

Overwhelmed by this and lacking any idea of what to do, Jason sought out the only people he thought might be able to help him- Big Team.

### Post-Big Team

To his own surprise, Jason has adjusted well to being a member of Big Team. While he's been vague about his "affliction," he's learned there are other who have or had similar experiences as him. Furthermore, he enjoys knowing he's helping people with his new abilities... even if those abilities come from a being that may someday be everyone's end.

Shortly after joining Big Team, Jason went on a mission with Friðr, where they ended up assisting in the rescue of Weaver from the Crimson Circle.

Later, Jason was present at the beach with Friðr, Verve, and Focus when Undertow attacked with her minions, aiding in the effort to protect civilians and distract the villain. He also got to witness Cyclone regain his powers and defeat Undertow once again.
