Name: Jason Ford.
Age: 21 (Born; 23 October, 2029)
Gender: Male
Class: Human
Appearance: Jason
Jason stands at an impressive 5'10, and weighs around 145 pounds. His most prominent physical trait are his dark brown, long hair which he seldom wraps in a ponytail of sorts. His eyes possess a brownish, hazel color. In terms of clothes, he favors long coats, scarfs and jeans, but is able to adapt depending on the season and the weather. He also has a thing for dull, darker colors, which is what you'd expect from a man who was imprisoned all his life.
As for his physique, he is rather skinny and isn't much fond of exercise, which is odd taking into account he has a big appetite.
Background: Originating from the United States, Jason was born as the legitimate son of Benedict and Chantry Ford. Due to his father occupying a very crucial position in the US cabinet, their family had enough wealth and privileges to give the Queen of England a run for her money. Unfortunately, the young Ford learned it the hard way that money doesn't equal happiness. Since the get-go, his father had kept him in isolation, stripping him off the chance to make friends and even brainwashing him by thoroughly explaining the disadvantages of sentiment. Every single day after school, he'd sent a chauffeur to pick the boy up, designed a strict diet especially for him and every evening, he would put his intelligence to a test. But even though intelligent, Jason still couldn't comprehend his father's behavior and his obsession with staying healthy.
Everything came together in a December night of 2037. An eight year old Jason was invited to a fancy, but secluded place, along with his father, where he was explained the reason why his childhood was robbed of him. Ever since the discovery of the Pure Energy, there were several independent and government organizations who wanted to know the truth about it and the machine that made sure the dust spread out; Madou. The United States had gathered a few pieces of the puzzle, and they were paranoid. The encrypting programs they had designed to store intel proved to be less than effective in the past, so they couldn't trust a secret so big at the hands of machines. That's where Jason came in. The strict diet, the evening games, the strict 'no friend' rules were all stages of a grueling mental training that was supposed to expand the boy's memory repository until it eventually developed eidetic capabilities. He was a vessel, an organic machine, marked to carry government secrets. He was a safe bet, taking into account no human, no matter how cunning and smart, would ever suspect that a child was capable of storing large amounts of information.
Benedict's path to raising a child led to several disagreements between him and his wife, Chantry. She was against keeping the child in isolation, while he justified his actions by claiming the boy was a national treasure. Fast forward a few months, and the Ford couple filed for a divorce, with Benedict arranging to have full custody over the child. That didn't fare well with Chantry, but she didn't commit anything heinous, choosing to live with her burden instead. Of course, a normal human could only hold so much. Ten years later, one bright Wednesday, an aging Chantry made a run before the U.S senate and began listing everything she knew about her husband's dirty work, including the secret about her only son. She couldn't reveal enough before she was hit by a knockout round on her neck, but she did enough to warrant an immediate evacuation. Later that Wednesday, at night, Jason was booked a flight to Japan, but not before being forced to undertake a 'therapy session', which was in fact a hypnotic memory wipe. Traces of the Pure Energy and Madou were totally eliminated, while there was still something left concerning his family and his father's shady backdoor dealings, which would haunt him for the following years.
After the incident, Benedict got his son a nice apartment in Shimizu and enough money to live for an eternity. He refrained from visiting his estranged son, and that actually worked for the better, as Jason used all his resources to set up an awareness group called "Sakurai" that was dead set on uncovering information about the Pure Energy. He had no bright memories to cherish, which made him focus all the more at the silhouette his missing memories left. Somehow, he had a hunch that the Energy was linked to his past.
Personality: Like his father, Jason was an arrogant and stuck up creature of habit. Due to his extraordinary intelligence, he always used to make fun of his peers, and sometimes, professors, never exhibiting any pleasurable trait in his personality. What was unique, however, was the fact that he was well aware of his behavior and the effect it had on his surroundings. He knew that it was his father, Benedict, the one who planted these seeds that improved his analytical and rational thinking, but in turn deprived him off his humanity, also arguing that there must have been a hereditary factor in the equation. He just didn't care enough, embracing his role as a human storage.
Over the course of the years, his behavior changed. Whether it's for the better or for the worse, it all depends on where you stand. He became more rebellious and less willing to adhere to his Dad's rules, often prompting Benedict to go a little overboard on his punishment. After he was abandoned in Japan, he started showing traits of determination, motivated to find more about his lost memory to the point where he even found an organization, 'Sakurai'. His behavior also softened a tad, as he became more and more accommodated to conversing with other fellow human beings, even though he still believed he was a one rank higher than them in the non-existing societal hierarchy. He also has developed a sense of humor over time, a dark sense of humor but a sense nevertheless.
