History:
Jason Parsons was born to two loving parents in Minnesota. Neither of them had well-paying jobs, but they provided well enough. For the first 18 years of his life, Jay lived in an apartment building in Minneapolis. The neighborhood he grew up in was crime ridden and gang diseased, however, almost every member of that community avoided the Parsons family. When Jay was 10 years old, his father was set to replace a local grocery store owner. In doing so, he became part of the community and became a well-liked man among most it's members. Life was pretty easy at that point, for seven years he was able to live a calm life. But that changed when the grocery store was held up one night. Jay's father was shot and badly wounded. He was put on life support for about two weeks before finally passing away. Jay was affected badly, but his mother took it worse.
When Jay was 18, his mother allowed a new man to move in to the apartment. Jay was shocked that she was so ready to put aside his father, but she did not seem to care. At first things were nice, but it was apparent that her boyfriend did not like Jay. One night, he was drunk and some words were said. This resulted in Jay's jaw being broken by the man. After that, Jay's mother left the man and had charges pressed against him, he got off with probation. While in the hospital Jay sat and thought about the past two years of his life, and got angrier and angrier. About a month after leaving the hospital, Jay made friends with a group of kids that attended his school. They were known gang members and trouble makers, but Jay did not really care. These friends had introduced him to drugs and crime. Shortly after his 19th birthday, Jay was locked up for a year on drug possession and firearm possession.
Prison changed Jay only a little bit. He was stabbed twice in a fight, survived it, and thought himself stronger. Immediately after he got out, Jay reconnected with his old pals. Only two of them were left, the rest were either doing time or dead. Though he jumped right back into the life, Jay did so at a slower pace. The event that triggered a violent spat was when he returned home to see his mother and her old boyfriend together again. The boyfriend, Mike, harassed Jay for months before finally pushing him over the edge. Jay was 21 when he followed his mother's boyfriend home and killed him. Unlike some crimes, this one was planned. The man had started beating his mother, as well as trying to beat Jay. Enough was enough for him. Using money he saved, Jay had a friend purchase him a late night ticket to Los Angeles. Two hours before the flight, Jay followed home and shot his mother's boyfriend. His bags were already packed and his friends were waiting to drive him to the airport. Without even calling his mother, Jay boarded the plane for California and left Minnesota. It was almost 4 am when he landed. Jay knew that the police would figure out that he killed the man, but he hoped that he would be able to go into hiding in California.
Personality:
Jay has a very strong personality and set of moral values, even though he is a murderer. During the majority of his early childhood, his father was a role model and set an example for how he should behave. Jay tries to be honest with people but will lie to cover himself if it is needed. Jay is also very opinionated on what it right and what is wrong. He knows that murdering a man was wrong, but he felt it was for the right reasons. Being able to kill for that reason makes Jay think that he could do it again if he needed to. But Jay will step in to stop senseless violence. Boldness and confidence is somewhat of a trait of Jay's. He is likely to be the first to step up for a task that others would not want to do. That being said, Jay prefers to not be in a leadership role and would avoid being put in that situation. For the most part, Jay is levelheaded, loyal, and honest. These are his three biggest personality strengths. His weaknesses are the fact that he is a murderer, and he can be pushed only to a certain point before his anger spills over into action.
Starting Situation:
LA International.
