In the beginning
Dr. Brinston, one of the head scientific minds of the 5th Column and co-creator of the super soldier syrum, has always looked for new ways to improve upon the 5th Column's soldiers. However, after a close brush with a force of heroes, he was forced into hideing for many years. During those years, he created syrum after syrum that he belived would aid the 5th Collumn. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of these experimental syrums were created before enough time had passed for Dr. Brinston to be able to test them. Dr. Brinston was impatient to start testing, and rather than go though the lenghy task of gathering volentiers, or kidnapping hapless subjects, he decided to go with a far more radical aproach. Clones. Clones, he firmly belived, were the best kind of subjects: they are all the same, you can get them at a young age (something required for more than a third of the syrums), and you can produce them without a slew of missing person reports. Dr. Brinston quickly "whipped up" a batch of 100 Brinston clones, and immediately began to subject them to his syrums. Many died on the day of injection, and quite a few followed after. When it was all over, thirty five remained. Thrilled with the results, Dr. Brinston began testing the clones to thier limits. Some time after the clones turned eaight years old, the local government became aware of the expirementation due to an unkown information source. Soon, a large force of heroes stormed the secret bace, takeing Dr. Brinston into custody, and rescueing the twenty seven clone test subjects that had survived the testing.
"Childhood"
During the time spent in the 5th Column's labs, Ace took the role of leader among the surviveing clones. They spent most of thier free time ploting out escape plans and attempting to escape at least once a month. Jason was one of the only clones to openly stand against the 5th Column and Dr. Brinston. Given that his treatment made his skin invunerable, he felt less pain, leading him to confront the doctor many times. Jason often times took the blame of things the other clones did, saying that he could simply take more. The only exeption to this was Midnight's Malice. Midnight was the only clone who refused to join ranks with the others. He even occasonaly stole from thier pooled resourses to support his own escape attempts. Jason did not take any action against Midnight, with the exeption of strong glares and several threats, untill Midnight killed a clone who caught him in the act. Furious, Jason ripped a pice of jagged metal from an air vent and stabbed Midnight in the cest. This, however, happened to be on the same day as the rescue. Jason pushed Midnight's body under a bunk, and was rescued with the other twenty six clones. Midnight was dead.
After "Childhood"
The clones where, after some medical examinations, where put into protective custody, and where given to authourised adoptive parents. They where all ordered to never use thier powers, lest the Council noticed and came for thier "research". Jason lived a good life though the rest of his childhood and though his teenage years, but a part of him allways wished for the hero life. We weasled his way into working for pocket D when he was 17. His experiances only served to fuel his own dreams of heroics, and at the age of 18, Jason traveled to Africa to begin his carrer as a hero away from the council's prying eyes. There, he met his mentor. Jason refuses to give his mentor's title, but when asked, he will only say that he was a talented swordmaster. Jason studied swordfighting under his mentor's wing, and returned to Paragon after two years, when he belived himself capable of taking down the council, as it had taken over the 5th Collumn by now.
The Global Guard
Jason joined the Global Guard shortly after arriveing in paragon. However, he was involved in a heated argument with one of the Guard's leaders over wither heroes should kill villians or simply capture them. He and a fellow member Cobra Fist left the guard after failing to compromise on the issue.
The Golden Mirror
Jason has recently joined the group "The Golden Mirror" as thier second in command.
Equipment
Jason's main weapon of choice is the Vibration Enhanced Katana, or V.E.K.. The V.E.K. works by vibrating the blade at such a rate that it can cut though most objects with ease. Due to its humming sound when activated, and the fact that its impervium blade can cut though most things, Jason commonly calls it his "Japanese Light saber."
Jason has also obtained a Rickti sword from a lost leader. He is unable to use the weapon unless he has his hydrolic assisted gauntlets on, as he has severely pulled his back when he first attempted to lift it.
Jason has also acquired a pair of jetpack boots from the Wyvern.
Tidbits
-Jason is a wise cracking, sarcastic hero who doesn't know when to stop making jokes. this originated as a coping technique while being tested on by the 5th Column.
-Jason calls his friends by nicknames. If they don't give him a nickname, me makes one up. This is his way of proclaiming friendship.
-Jason has a fear of magic in general. This is due to the fact that most other things he can wrap his head around, but magic remains entirely unknown to him.
-Jason has a phobia of most normal medical instruments. Needles in particular. He shares this fear with the rest of the clones who have associated these idems with the 5th Column's testing.
-Jason used to think of ranged combat as a more cowardly form of fighting. The years spent with his master, and with his fellow heroes, has changed his mind.
-While he is usualy able to wrap his head around advanced technology given the proper explanation, Jason is realativly clueless when it comes to most advanced tech, with the exceptions of his personal gear.
