Appearence
Jason like his father is a shortie standing at only five foot. He has black, straight medium-length long hair, striking green eyes that glow red interestingly enough every time he uses his powers, and light colored skin. He has a large scar around his left eye that he is very self-conscious of. He was burned by a dangerous pyrokinetic criminal that attacked him when he was only a little kid. Further, he tends to wear a lot of green. He has a favorite green hooded cloak that he always likes to wear usually as an effort to conceal his scar.
PERSONALITY
One of the truly good things about Jason is how crazy friendly he is. Jason definitely has an extroverted, outgoing personality and everything that comes with it. He tends to talk really fast especially when he is excited or nervous. Also he rambles whenever excited or fearful.
In addition, Jason is a very helpful, loyal and optimistic person. He's the type of guy that likes helping others whenever he can. It's like he has this constant need, this lurking desire to save the day and to protect others from harm. Likely this desire was inherited by his superhero parents. He is also the type that prefers to see the glass as half full rather than half empty.
Alongside his desire to become a hero is how super loyal he is to those he feels closest to. He is such a loyalist that he has no desire to betray anyone. Unfortunately, Jason befriends all sorts of people including criminals though he does not always know said person is a criminal until too late. And once he befriends said criminal he does not always have the heart to turn them in.
Jason is also a pacifistic dreamer who always seems to have his head in the clouds. He is the type that prefers diplomacy and compromise over outright violence. Jason's kind of naive too in that he really doesn't seem to understand why everybody just can't all get along like they can in his dreams. However, just because he prefers not to fight doesn't mean he won't when he needs to. In fact, one might even go so far as to say the way he fights is actually pretty dirty as in sneaky and underhanded. He tends to take a lot of cheap shots and likes to attack when an opponent least expects it. This is largely due to the fact that the one that trained him the most in combat happens to be a villain cleverly disguised as an ordinary trainer. In addition, Jason has a strong, vivid and creative imagination; which enables him to paint or draw. He wants to become a famous artist when he grows up like his mom and is so proud of his growing skills in art that he likes to show off his art every chance he gets.
On the other side of things, Jason is a really smart, quick thinking individual. During fights with opponents equal and stronger than himself he tries his best to use strategy in an effort to outsmart his enemies. He is also a very persistent and determined individual who rarely gives up without a fight. In addition, he has a very fun loving and adventurous side about him. He just loves to sneak out of his house and go exploring. He doesn't want anyone to know this, but he enjoys dumpster diving and digging through trash bins since you never know what you might find just laying in the trash. Understandably, he is embarrassed by this rather smelly hobby of his. Still, it at least proves he is not afraid of getting his hands dirty. In addition, he is a vegetarian preferring to eat anything but real meat. Just the sight of a dead animal grosses him out. He, however, does not mind consuming diary products such as milk and cheese.
Much like his own father, Jason is superstitious. He does not like anything involving black cats, Friday the 13th, broken mirrors, walking under ladders, umbrellas being opened indoors, the number 13, and spilling salt. Jason does his best to avoid these things and situations whenever possible. He even performs certain rituals to counteract any bad luck by carrying around lucky trinkets and wearing green. In addition, Jason has some fears. He is coulrophobic, spectrophobic, and catoptrophobic. Due to a childhood incident, Jason is now psychologically scarred for life of clowns and anything even remotely related to them. He also isn't a real big fan of mirrors for two distinct reasons. The first being that he genuinely believes that someone is using the mirror as a way to spy on him or that there exists a being living inside the mirror that may pull him inside if he stares into the mirror for too long. The second reason is simply because he is self-conscious about his looks. After being badly burned in the face by a villainous pyrokinetic he just doesn't want to see his own face in a mirror as he believes himself to be ugly even though he really isn't.
Being severely burned as a child also left him with some serious trust issues. He naturally trusts superheroes that he's heard about. But it takes awhile for non famous super powered heroes to gain his trust. It is easier for him to trust a non-powered human than one with powers. On the very far end of the scale, Jason is a very big fan of Jump City's local superhero team that he's heard so much about, the Teen Titans. He aspires to one day get their attention and possibly join them. He just hopes that he makes a good first impression with them. His drive to become a hero rather than a villain is due to his desire to help people and to save lives. That and the idea of becoming a villain actually scares him. So, he wants to do everything in his power to keep himself from turning evil. Thankfully meditation seems to be helping him stay on the path of good. As is his natural talent to lucid dream. Whenever having a bad day he tends to alter his dreams in a way that suits him often making them more pleasant and happy.
Further Jason is a real people pleaser. He'll do whatever it takes to keep his online fans and critics alike happy since he is far too stubborn to see that in reality he can't please everyone no matter how hard he tries. Sadly his outgoing personality has a dark side. Whenever making a new friend he tends to become a bit too possessive of that friend often leading to jealousy over his new friend giving attention to other friends. Jason is also a clingy sort often insisting that he accompanies his friends everywhere they go. He doesn't like being left alone for too long and has this need to constantly surround himself with a bunch of people even if they are strangers.
Sadly, Jason has another problem that he is a bit embarrassed by. He is a kleptomaniac with the compulsion to collect all kinds of things and add them to his large hoard of objects. With his kleptomania, Jason cannot help, but steal things and usually at random. Further, when he does steal something it is usually right before purchasing other things. He admittedly gets a rush during the act, but quickly regrets what he's done soon after. Also for a prospective hero, Jason is actually pretty greedy and materialistic. He just loves to show off his new shiny toys. He just has to get the latest stuff in both technology and clothes. His own natural greed plus his kleptomania certainly does not help matters in his desire to become a hero department. Still he feels entitled to shiny, expensive things due to often using his powers for good.
He is definitely distracted by shiny things and well he is sadly distracted easily in general. Despite all of his psychic powers, Jason is an easily influenced and weak-minded individual. If he likes you, it will not take very long to impress him. Jason is not only an avid fan of the Teen Titans, but of his own troublemaking, criminalistic uncle as well. He really likes his uncle and looks up to him and so tries his best to impress and please him. He likes to tag along with his uncle and hang out with him. Sadly, he is so blinded by how cool he thinks his uncle is that he doesn't even care that he is a criminal and will even go so far as to defend him.
POWERS/SKILLS
High Empathy: Jason can sense the feelings and emotions of others. He can tell when another is feeling sad, angry, or happy. He, however, cannot control the feelings of others.
Precognition: He can 'see' what will happen next in the future either in dreams or even as quick visions while awake. He senses where the vision is occurring, so that he can find it easily. However, his visions don't always occur in order as he would otherwise like to. For example, his visions sometimes overlook certain details that makes a big difference. Sometimes said details are pretty minor other times not so much.
Psychic Shield: Using his psychic powers, Jason can create a protective red energy shield around himself and others if need be. Really comes in handy in a fight especially since he is still pretty new at fighting super villains. Sadly, it is not impenetrable. It does have its limits and weak spots that if discovered by an enemy said enemy could break through Jason's energy shield.
Psychometry: Jason can tell a lot about an object's past history by just holding it or smelling it.
Telekinesis: With his telekinetic powers, Jason can lift up some really heavy objects and fling them around at opponents. The color of his telekinesis is red. He can also fly using his telekinesis. Sadly, his telekinesis is very unstable as he has very little control over it. Sometimes he might unintentionally lift something up. When using his telekinetic powers, objects might start to follow him about and even stick to him as though he were a magnet. Fortunately, he tries to practice wherever and whenever he can.
Chi-Blocker: Jason learned chiblocking after getting badly burned by a pyrokinetic as an added means of defending himself against Jump City's many powerful metahumans. With this ability he is able to prevent any opponent from being able to use their powers against him. This side effect of his chi blocking is, however, only temporary and so does not last very long. But it does give Jason long enough time to escape or do whatever he intends to do without being further interrupted. That is until his opponents regain feeling in their limbs and are able to move again. He is very good at this ability since he knows just how and where to quick jab his opponents. He also studied the human anatomy and knows the human body inside and out, so he knows just where to hit an opponent.
Some Martial Arts Skills: Naturally, to be a good, effective chi-blocker one needs to specialize in some form of martial arts. Jason tends to favor the art of Kung Fu just like his mentor.
Lucid Dreaming: Jason gained the amazing ability to not only remember all his dreams, but to control them. With this ability that he gained after mentally training himself, he is able to dream pretty much anything he wants. His only limits seem to be his own imagination. He also cannot enter and manipulate the dreams of others though he seems to have the potential of learning this someday.
Meditation: His mentor taught him some amazing meditation techniques as a means of training him to get his powers under control and to keep his own emotions in check. This seems to work to an extent since he still seems to have trouble fully controlling his telekinetic powers.
Above Average Intelligence: He may not have genius level intellect, but he does seem to be a bit smarter than most teens his age. This increased intelligence is what likely has given his psychic powers a major power boost and is the main reason for his potential for gaining other psychic abilities as well.
Computer Hacker: Jason knows how to hack computers and various security systems, a little skill he picked up from his father and criminalistic uncle.
Lock Picker: Yet another skill Jason picked up from his uncle. Jason is skilled at picking all sorts of locks including handcuffs and car doors. Usually if there is a locked door it won't stay that way for long with Jason around. He tends to use lock picking tools such as bobby pins and credit cards to open locked doors. In addition, he is good at hot wiring cars for a speedy getaway should the need ever arise.
Artist: When it comes to art, however, Jason takes after his mother. He has a real talent for painting and drawing things. Jason tends to paint whatever dream, nightmare or vision that he has. All his life he has been told that he has the hands of an artist though he isn't quite sure what people mean by that. Surrealism and abstract paintings are his favorite types of art.
Gadgets:
Jason typically drives a green/black motorcycle. It's just an ordinary motorcycle. Nothing too special about it other than it has a killer stereo and some sweet cup holders as well as a small trunk to put a few little things in.

HISTORY
It was said that Jason was born with a lot of potential and of all days he was born on what is considered the luckiest day of them all, St. Patrick's Day in a good ole small town of Maine. His parents: James and Deborah had powers of their own. The young couple were also heroes or at least Debbie thought they both were. Turns out her husband had been keeping a not so good secret from her. James was actually a notorious computer hacker who had been using his powers and skills to commit cyberextortion on big name companies right behind his wife's back. He also committed the crime of money laundering. He did so claiming that being a hero didn't exactly pay the bills. He also did it to get a rush. For years he had kept the secret from her and he was really good at leaving behind no trace of his crimes. His wife, Deborah, on the other hand was an artist and a good one at that. More specifically she became a children's book illustrator. All the while James made her think he was using his computer skills for good. The couple had hoped that Jason would have been born with powers of his own, but apparently he wasn't born with any. It was very rare the doctors told them for a baby born to two metahuman parents to have no powers of his own. But the super powered parents did not mind and doted on Jason.
A mere four years later and Jason's younger sister, Haley is born. As with Jason, it was love at first sight and Jason who wanted a sibling to play with got his wish. Unlike her older brother, Haley was born with her powers. She could duplicate herself and augment the powers of others. She also seemed to be very lucky as just about everything seemed to go her way. Jason did not really mind her powers at first, but her having powers and not him just got worse with age. Jason could not help feeling jealous of his younger sister. It just didn't seem fair that she had powers like mom and dad and not him.
Lucky for Jason his uncle, Don Martini who is a mere four years his senior would often swing by to help lighten the mood and keep Jason and Haley company. He would often come over to help Jason babysit Haley when needed and just plain hang out. This whole deal worked out well enough at first, but things just started to go downhill as the kids got older. You see, Don is a natural born troublemaker who has a real habit of getting himself and others in big trouble. Every now and then Don would mess up babysitting Jason and Haley either by taking them places they were forbidden to go or by falling asleep on the job or simply by being such a bad influence. Eventually Don for these reasons and others ends up becoming the black sheep of the family making him no longer welcome at his big sister's home. Deborah even went so far as to forbid him from seeing his nephew and niece again. Something that Jason often protested and declared majorly unfair. Jason was super close to his uncle and enjoyed being with him whereas Haley was never a big fan of Don though much like her brother she did like his fancy toys. It devastated Jason when his mother officially forbade him from seeing Don again. In retaliation to what he saw as injustice, Jason would sneak out of his bedroom every night to see him and sometimes his uncle would sneak into his bedroom and Jason would hide him from his overbearing parents and tattletale sister.
When Jason was only seven years old, tragedy struck much like a venomous viper. Their beloved home was unexpectedly invaded by a group of dangerous super powered criminals who lust for revenge against Jason's parents for having captured them. Thankfully, Jason's parents were both home during the home invasion and were able to fight them off. They told Jason to take his little sister and go hide. After some hesitation, Jason did so choosing to hide inside Jason's bedroom and locking the door behind them. The two then hid inside the bedroom's closet. Unfortunately, one of the criminals, a pyrokinetic simply burned down both doors and found the children hiding inside. Thinking quickly, Jason grabbed his baseball bat and wacked the pyro over the head as hard as he could before grabbing Haley and making a run for it. Sadly the two don't get very far before the now enraged pyro wakes up. Jason has just enough time to stash his three year old sister inside yet another closet before he gets mercilessly attacked by the pyrokinetic who burns the helpless seven year old in the face. By this time, Jason's parents had already defeated the other criminals and upon seeing their son get burned, they attack the pyro and manage to defeat and capture him too. They then send the group of criminals back to prison. And they take Jason to the hospital to get looked at. Sadly while Jason was going to be just fine the damage had already been done. The burn on the left side of his face caused by the pyrokinetic criminal will never completely fade away. Luckily the fire did not damage his eyesight and therefore could still see just fine out of that eye.
Following the attack, both of his parents felt guilty that they failed to protect their son from the escaped villains even though Jason was very understanding and did not blame them. Still, the attack made them realize that they won't always be around to protect their kids from harm and so they both need a way to protect themselves. Haley who was born with her powers was attending a special school that will teach her how to control her powers, so she was good to go. But Jason didn't have any special abilities of his own, so after talking it over with one another they decided to send Jason to learn martial arts and chi blocking from an elderly, but wise martial arts master that they heard about from other heroes. Naturally, Jason did not want to go for he saw this as a clever way to get rid of him. He began to think that his own parents were embarrassed of him since he did not have any powers of his own. Jason's parents tried their best to tell their protesting son that this just wasn't true and that they both loved him very much and only wanted what was best for him. And so they sent him away to train under the guidance of the wise old sensi unaware that the sensi was really Hero Inc.'s arch nemesis, Dr. Burgess in disguise. Burgess was a martial arts master who was also gifted in the art of hypnotism and not to mention was something of a mad scientist. He was most certainly a formidable foe and not one to be messed with. Burgess hoped to get Jason on his side and was using the training as a means to do exactly that.
Turns out Jason was a natural at learning martial arts and chi blocking and so it did not take him very long to learn all he needed to of the art. The first thing he learned was where all the pressure points on a person were and he learned how to hit each one just right. Finally, he learned which order works the best in which to jab the pressure points. Further, in between his actual training with the disguised Burgess, Jason read and learned all about the human anatomy.
Two years of chi blocking and martial arts training passed and lady luck smiles upon Jason once more though again in a most painful way. Jason was just minding his own business and playing with his VR headset when it began to storm. His parents were yelling at him to come inside, but before he could he got shocked by some very unusual purple lightning, His parents quickly called an ambulance and he was revived at the nearest hospital. The doctors told them he was lucky to be alive. The doctors then took Jason's parents aside and informed them that they discovered that the lightning that struck Jason was not ordinary and if it were then Jason would likely not have made it.
While recovering at the hospital, Jason takes up his mother's advice and entertains himself by drawing. Also during his hospital stay he starts to have unusual dreams and Jason swears he saw objects start moving about by themselves. The doctors advise him that it's probably just nerves. He starts to believe them until he starts experiencing strange 'dreams' of very specific people during the day and not only that, but these 'dreams' were coming true. He tells his parents and they tell him to inform them right when the next 'dream' happens. Jason does so and upon the 'dream' coming true once again, his parents conclude that their son received psychic abilities following getting shocked by that strange purple lightning. They then witness objects floating around Jason and realize he is telekinetic too. Not yet sure what to do they tell Jason to try to keep his new powers under control until he is able to come home from the hospital. As a way to cope and to stop himself from being so bored Jason starts to draw his visions. Most of the ones he had been having were of the mundane sort, so nothing really too exciting. Still, he found that he really liked drawing them. He initially was a little more than hesitant to show anyone his drawings. That was until one of the nurses caught him drawing something and complimented it. He figured her compliment had to be sincere since he was not a relative and thus not obligated to be nice about his work. It was like clockwork, Jason soon felt the need to draw all his visions.
As soon as he was able to return home, Jason shared his drawings with family and friends. Most of them seemed to like it including his uncle; which was what really pleased him. In fact, his uncle suggested he start an online portfolio as a means to get noticed online and as a way to draw for other people to make money. Jason took his advice and did so giving himself the online name of DarkDreamer to illustrate that he will draw dark and creepy nightmarish things. After posting his work online it does not take him very long to get noticed by people and with that he soon gained fans and critics alike. Unfortunately, Jason is a bit too sensitive and does not take criticism very well especially when it is harsh. Still, he was determined to get positive attention from others and so was not about to stop drawing any time soon.
Also upon returning home, Jason transferred to Haley's school to learn how to better control his new powers. He tries his best, but he still can't get his telekinesis to work right. As a result of his lack of control, lightbulbs tend to flicker on and off in his presence until they burn out completely, objects tend to follow him around as though magnetized to him, and to make matters even worse he sometimes telekinetically lifts things up when he doesn't mean to.
A year later and Jason has a terrible vision of a rollercoaster crashing and everyone dying from it. Desperately wanting to stop this thing from happening Jason notifies his parents and they all rush to the theme park to stop it. After some convincing the trio are able to convince the ride operators to stop the ride and get everyone off safely. Naturally nobody was happy about this until maintenance workers took a closer look at the ride and found all sorts of things wrong with it; which would have ultimately caused the ride to malfunction and possibly crash. Now grateful the park owner gifts the family season passes to enter the theme park for free for a full year. Jason felt really good about rescuing all those people and was definitely happy with the reward.
Sadly just as things seem to be going his way, Jason's parents divorce following a heated argument between them. After doing some looking around following her suspicions, Deborah had discovered that her husband had been laundering money for a local gang. Furious by her discovery she confronted James who desperately was trying to make up a story that the gang was threatening to kill them if he didn't cooperate and launder the money for them. She didn't believe him and she divorced him. The court granted them shared custody of the kids; which Debbie was not too happy with. While Jason was not too happy with his father's decision to work with criminals he doesn't like that he doesn't get to see him as much anymore because of it. Something he will never fully forgive his father for. Still this does not stop him from sneaking out at night to visit his father.
But apparently having joint custody along with his son sneaking off to see him still was not enough for James because along with his brother-in-law's help, James came up with the idea to 'kidnap' his own son as a means of forcing his angry ex-wife to talk to him with the hopes of working it all out. Their plan was a surprisingly simple one. All Don had to do was show up at Jason's school before the school buses got there and pick him up. Jason who was only all too happy to see his uncle again didn't even question it and happily hopped on the back of Don's motorcycle. The two then went to a theme park where they met up with James whom Jason was also only all too happy to see. Totally oblivious to what was happening, Jason enjoyed the day with them. It didn't even occur to him that something was wrong until his father and uncle specifically forbade him from calling his mom to inform her where he was so she wouldn't freak. Jason managed to sneak off when they weren't looking to make the call, but before he could they took his phone. They then took him to a hotel room and the police eventually found them there. Deborah was not happy with any of them. This time she pressed charges and both James and Don were arrested and taken away. In addition, Deborah filed for sole custody of the children and won.
Wanting to get away from all that crazy, Deborah decided to move her children all the way to Jump City. Neither Jason nor Haley wanted to move since they both had friends, but their mother assured them that they will be able to make new friends and keep in touch with their old friends via online.
Once settled down in Jump, Jason and Haley attend their new school. All the while, Jason keeps his online art portfolio updated as well as all of his followers. He also makes Youtube videos of himself playing his videogames. His Youtube name is, MasterHacker. While there Jason has learned of a team of teenaged superheroes known as the Teen Titans and upon learning that one of them, Raven is a telekinetic he is most anxious to meet them so he may further his training since his former mentor is all the way back in Maine. He figures that with her helping him in his training that he will finally be able to fully control his telekinetic powers without any mistakes.
