Occupation:
Ability: Energy Manipulation
Personality: Jason is someone who prefers to be in control of the situation and dislikes being unaware or knowledge being withheld from him. He is a suave gentlemen who has a reputation of being somewhat of a ladies man although he is far from being crude. He's a big picture type of guy and a strong believer of ends justifying the means. He will put his own interests above others, and believes in looking out for himself before others. He's somewhat of a narcissist thinking he's the greatest thing since sliced bread although he doesn't always let that side show. He's extremely good at manipulating others and getting them to serve his own agenda. One thing he does not appreciate or tolerate are those who try to interfere with his income as he loves money more then he likes most people. He's extremely passionate about music and if he could he'd have a sound track to accompany every scene of his life. He's a huge fan of expanding consciousness and experimenting with other forms of it. Alas, despite his somewhat self centered attitude he does care about the plight of other Evo's as well as others who are oppressed and deep down what he desires the most is someone who completely accepts him for who he is but see's past his flaws.
Background: Jason was born into an interracial family with a caucasian father who was high up in law enforcement, and a mother who worked as a succesful attorney owning her own law firm in Atlanta. Jason was the first born having two younger siblings both female. Due to this Jason had somewhat of a nice upbringing and loving relationship with his parents who only wanted the best for him. While his parents were great at parenting they weren't great at loving each other, and Jason was subject to several of their vicious arguments. Seeing his parents marriage dissolve made him believe that love was just a myth and caused him to be more concerned about himself rather then others. Jason was always bright in school and was ahead of his peers preferring the company of adults. Due to his maturity his parents had a great deal of trust in him and let him do his own thing.
Jason was all around a succesful person growing up in more areas then one grades, sports, and his greatest love music. After proving his dedication his parents agreed to pay for his piano lessons and this only further cemented his love for music. However one of the main conditions was he stayed in sports and so he continued to excel in both football and basketball. However by the time college came around he stopped taking basketball as serious and focused on football wanting to get a scholarship as his parents vowed not to support him unless he was able to somewhat support himself. To this end by the time he was a junior in high school he got into producing hoping to make a name for himself with music. Around this time his life took a turn for the worst when his father went down during an investigation that uncovered he'd been involved in some illegal activity.
Jason was devastated at his father's imprisonment and was quick to believe his father when he proclaimed innocence. Still with his father behind bars half of his income was gone his family was forced to downsize how they were living and adjust financially. Jason who'd grown accustom to a certain life style was hit hard but more importantly wanted his father to be free. Around this time he started smoking marijuana something he felt help him adjust to everything he was going through while also helping him creatively with his musical endeavors. During his senior year of high school his mother had a mental break down from the stress of everything going on and quickly became an un-fit parent. She soon lost her job, and was put on medication by her doctor. For the first time Jason realized he was on his own and had to take care of his mother while also helping raise his sisters who were freshmen in high school. To this end Jason decided to not just smoke marijuana but sell it as well getting into the drug business the very thing that his father was accused of doing.
Thanks to his smarts and sense of business Jason was quite succesful in the business, and made quite a killing due to the profit margin in New York. He had also gotten a regular job at a clothing store as a cover but made far more money selling drugs, and used the excess money to help his family while also opening up his own studio to further his music career. Although he never struck gold his music career did begin to pick up by the time he graduated high school. He went on to accept a scholarship playing football but was involved in a devastating car accident a month before he was suppose to start. He managed to recover but he was in no condition to play and so he lost his scholarship. Still thanks to his excellent grades and economic situation he had a partial scholarship based on his grades as well as financial aid so he still went on to go to California. Going to California and dealing with the high cost of living he quickly realized drugs were going to help him to survive. However marijuana wasn't as profitable of a business in a place with an abundance of marijuana so he moved up the ladder. Luckily being a freshmen on a college campus he had plenty exposure to drugs and people who wanted to do them. He quickly got involved with moving prescription drugs and cocaine wanting to make a killing financially. It was during this time however that he grew cocky and the LAPD went to look into a suspected stash house that he happened to be in. The person leading this investigation was none other then a top ranking cop Matt Parkman.
However a miracle occurred and his ability manifested for the first time when he confornted Matt, and a surge of energy flowed through him causing him to drain Matt of the majority of his energy as well as releasing a blast that decimated most of the stash house and the only survivors where him and the comatose cop. He fled the scene and as this happened shortly after Claire had exposed Evo's to the world he realized what he was. He was at first astonished by his powers but quickly grew into them believing he deserved them and was meant for great things. His focus then went on honing his powers and experimenting with psychedelic drugs which strengthened his delusions of grandeur. Soon after he resumed his activities in the criminal enterprise and managed to stay one step ahead of the authorities in more ways then one including staying ahead of the Evo authorities. Jason has big plans for himself and the world and will stop at nothing to carry them out.

Her mother took the remaining money they had, closed the car wash, and went back to working as a nurse. Due to her mother working long hours to support her as a single parent, she was able to have near limitless time to engage in every pleasure she wanted to indulge in including drugs, alcohol, and boys.
