Character Information

Summary

Jason is a former computer security specialist for Universal Omnitech, but he exiled himself from the corp he was born into to escape the consequences of some on-the-job youthful indiscretions that helped an outside entity perform the most damaging data heist in UO's memory.

Smart decker. Dumb kid.

Vancouver Born

Jason is the second child born to Kwon Shin-Young and Kwon Sol-Mi, a pair of Universal Omnitech researchers in the Vancouver headquarters. While his older sister Chi'an followed in the biotech family footsteps, Jason was much more interested in the fantasy he could create with the malleable electrons of the Matrix.

Caught in the Honey Pot

Jason had enough talent and focus to join OU's security forces in their Matrix division. He wasn't a demi-GOD, but was one of the console jockeys who served under the demi-GOD and usually pulled the night shift. Boredom is an ever-present danger on the graveyard shift and Jason was one of several security specialists who worked on redesigning a honey-pot trap into a player-versus-player arena mirroring the code from Shadowrun Online to help while away the hours in "security research." Unfortunately, Jason was in their little research node when someone from outside the corp hit their grid and was able to slip most of the security into the node where Jason unknowingly wrapped them up as NPCs, allowing one of the largest data heists in OU memory.

Jason took on the full brunt of the blame with none of his teammates stepping in to soften the blows from on high. Privileges were stripped, his family was disgraced and his parents actually kicked him out of the apartment. With all the extra heat coming down on him, Jason drafted himself a comp bus pass for Seattle and slipped out into the Vancouver night with not much more than the shirt on his back.

Seattle Exile

The streets of Seattle were a damn scary place for Jason to start out in. His linguistic abilities allowed him to slip into safer areas to sleep in the beginning and he set himself up as a traveling interpreter for tourists, the really out of town ones. That's when Jinx stumbled onto him. She's always enjoyed speaking in multiple tongues and few can keep up with her. Jason's not at her level, yet. She gave him the first few jobs in Seattle and he's scraped together the little bit of gear he has on him. Now it's on to bigger things.
