Biography
Jason Blackstone was born in the country of Harmony on Venture on May 5, 2624 to James Blackstone, a drill instructor, and Sandy Blackstone, a surgeon. As a child, Jason had much interest in sports and athletics, more specifically mixed martial arts and boxing; in fact, he would win many junior boxing tournaments during his childhood. His parents were wealthy and he seemed to receive any material item he asked for, unfortunately, he didn't get the love and attention he needed.

Though his mother lived him with all of her heart, her occupation kept her away from home regularly. His father, on the other hand, was home much more often but treated Jason more like a soldier than a child. Jason was regularly subject to military-like drills and discipline up until the mid-2630s when his father began paying more attention to the TITAN Program than anything else. Jason's athletics were his venting sources but when he received a serious injury during a mixed martial arts fight, he would have to give it up.

Confused and enraged, Jason would listen to no one but his mother who encouraged him to go to college. At Harmony University, Jason would quickly begin to make his way to the top of the class. Despite this, Jason dropped out of school stating it wasn't "his thing". After this, his father disowned him but his mother encouraged him to pursue anything he wanted. Jason would join Colonial Defense, not to serve but to get away from his father. Soon after finishing physical therapy, Jason would begin his service and be shipped out to Ares Prime where he first met Isabella Court, another Colonial Defense operative.

The two were both part of the same unit and would become friends and eventually, even more than that. The two would part ways within the coming years and their relationship would fizzle out but Jason would meet her again years later; though this time, she was his commander. Soon after Jason signed up for and successfully joined the URTs, he would be stationed on Angelis to become second-in-command for Court.

Personality
Jason is known for being quick, smart, and deliberate with every decision he makes. He is undoubtedly confident in his skills and his instincts, though he isn't arrogant or cocky. He still retains many of the qualities that his father instilled into him; he is disciplined, decisive, and respectful of others, especially the strong. He has little personal concern for his own well-being and is considered somewhat of a daredevil by those who've worked with him. In actuality, however, he puts himself in dangerous situations in an attempt to keep others safe.

Skills & Abilities
Jason is a highly-trained man fit for all forms of combat. He is strong, swift, and undoubtedly skilled in combat. His martial arts skills have grown more diverse during his time in Colonial Defense which is evident by his adeptness in a renewed form of Obnu Bilate, Kung Fu, and Muay Thai. He is skilled with various weapons, mostly fire arms, and his accuracy with said weapons is almost scary. He is capable of emitting a calm and collected demeanor, even during the most chaotic times. This bolsters the morale of others around him and allows them to work at their peaks aswell.
