Biographical write-up:
Jason was born on a ranch near Abilene, Kansas. The third of four brothers, Jason was neither the baby of the family nor expected to carry on the family business. He was only expected to help handle the cattle on the ranch until he moved out. One of his first paying jobs was helping arrange for the sale of cattle coming up the Chisholm Trail and and shipping them back East. This job bored him greatly.

When he learned of a Wild West show heading back East, and more importantly the pay the show offered, he signed on at the first opportunity he could get. He started out by playing minor parts and as a general stage hand, but he studied the tricks of the other performers and became an act in himself at the age of 25. He was known for being able to shoot the pips out of a playing card while riding on horseback. In this capacity he could emulate the heroes of the dime novels that filled his childhood. The show Jason was with toured throughout the East, and managed to gain some acclaim. They even did a few shows for soldiers in Europe during the Great War.

After the war the show continued to tour up and down the East coast. Jason was surprised to receive a letter from his Aunt Gale Yearling's lawyer, Mr. Downey, containing news of her passing. Being geographically the closest family member to Arkham at the time, Jason managed to make it to town a few weeks ahead of the rest of his family. This has, by default, left him in charge of wrapping up his late Aunt's affairs before the rest of the family shows up for the reading of the will.

Noncombative belongings: Trunk with his belongings, riding boots, bowler hat, pocket watch, reading glasses with case, cigarette case, lighter.

I do wonder how the Professor plans to write off the repairs for damage from this fight in the expense report. Oh Well, that's his problem. As for the Cadets:

WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE FIGHT SALUTE YOU!

@IndianGiver Meh, it's just the site convention it seems.

@IndianGiver Did you mean to put the rules in the IC? I thought they normally go in the OOC tab. Might want to change that before too long.

@LHG100 I will admit it reminded me a bit of mike spammers in TF2, and it was funny to have it pop up during Krisa's spiel. Though I am a little saddened it wasn't something from doom.

Romeo replied quickly and tersely. "Yes, I copy."

Krista was shocked by how different his tone was compared to back in the assembly hall. She has to ponder moment before she realized that he might be still angry with Miles. Continuing to monitor the temperature of the Slag Cannon, she replies. "Miles still has you worked up? Don't let him do that. It's a classic tactic." Krista takes a moment to recall what she could of the Art of War. "If I remember my Sun Tzu correctly, he said that angering your opponent is a good idea because it makes them act stupidly."

She took a moment to make sure that the voltage on the Archer's leg motors was up to spec.

"He also said to make yourself look weak, and let your foe become arrogant."

"THIIIIS IS DJ METALFACE, LIVE FROM THE ARENAAA! TODAY WE'RE PLAY-" Krista closes the connection to Koehler.

"Long story short, don't get salty as it makes you dumb and let Miles learn the hard way that a Rose has thrones."

Krista let out a small sigh. That pun kinda hurt.

"That's my piece on that. Want to start talking about how we will handle this fight? I'm a straightforward heavy hitter, for what it's worth."

@LHG100 Space Brothers, which is available on Crunchy Roll, is a story about a guy trying to become an astronaut. I like it because it reminds me of a nerdier version of that musical "A Chorus Line". It is also because it is the only story where I can truely project myself onto the character (Same profession, same age, similar looks...)

Pumpkin Scissors is a series about this unit of soldiers in a country that has just finished fighting a WW1 scale war. The group of soldiers is dedicated to helping fix problems left over from the war (Refugees, infrastructure destruction, etc). It's setting and tone remind me a lot of Full Metal Alchemist, but as far as I can tell they have stopped publishing it in English. The main character, Randal Oland, has become a bit of a reoccurring joke amongst my friends for being able to take out tanks with a pistol. The dude makes the Terminators look weak.
