[*]Forensics - One of Jay's favourite subjects. He is well versed in the subject.
[*]Extrovert - Very easy to get along with and always optimistic, Jay never really has trouble getting people to like him.[/list]

[u][b]Faults:[/b][/u]
[list][*]Impulsive - Jay has a tendency to act first and think later, which can and often does get him into trouble.
[*]Overly talkative - While a nice guy, Jay rarely shuts up. This can get very annoying to those around him.
[*]Weak - Jay is not strong. Nor is he a capable fighter.
[*]Naive - As he tends to take people at face value, Jay is quite often oblivious when others are manipulating him.[/list]

[u][b]Power:[/b][/u]
Light Manipulation - Jay can generate and control light for various effects. He can fire it in blasts, he can form it into semi-solid constructs and he can use it to propel himself through the air. It also allows him to travel at incredible speed ("light speed") but he has very little control over this and it tends to be in short bursts in a straight line. (Think Tracer)
When using his abilities, Jay's body changes into a hard light form of shimmering colors, like a human rainbow. The more excited he gets, the brighter he gets. This power is anything but subtle.

[u][b]Personality:[/b][/u]
Jay is quite possibly the friendliest person you will ever meet. Relentlessly happy, he lets very little get to him. He's a happy-go-lucky kind of guy who will genuinely try his best to befriend everyone, even the ones who seem openly hostile. People have often said that Jay likes the sound of his own voice but he just has a lot of thoughts that he likes to convey by talking to anyone who will listen and even some who wont. Though he tries his best to help people, Jay does from time to time overestimate his own intelligence and ability with a slight hint of arrogance.

[u][b]History:[/b][/u]
Born in San Jose, California, Jay was raised in a happy home. The youngest of four kids, he was always treated as the baby of the family but still relentlessly tormented by his two older brothers who liked rough housing a lot more than he did. Jay's father and grandfather were both marines and it was tradition for the boys in the family to join the core. Hell, even Jay's sister had plans to join up. But Jay himself? Not so much. His interests were "nerdier" in comparison. As well as his continual obsession with photographing everything, he liked science in all its forms. He may not have understood it all but he liked it a lot more than all that "Ooh rah!" and chest pounding. He was proud of his family but that life just wasn't for him. Yes, Jason Jericho was by far the blackest sheep the family had ever seen.

By the time he left high school and entered college, Jay's general interest in science had become focused on two areas and he took up classes in forensics and psychology. He may not have been the brightest student in the class but he was determined to learn as much as he could, even though he was often distracted by his own thoughts and the cute girl sitting on the other side of the room. But the cute girl across the room was the least of his distractions after the lights around him started flickering and acting weirdly.
