| BACKGROUND | |||||
|
Jason's destiny was written before his
birth. On the surface, his birth parents seemed to be a normal
middle-class couple, but his father maintained a secret double life,
unknown even to his wife. Secretly he was a member of a dark,
devil-worshiping cult and, in exchange for promises of great wealth
and power, he'd promised his first born would be host to a demon
under the cult's control. It was not until some time after his
birth that his mother found out about his father's dark pact. At
first, she could not believe that it was true, but the increasingly
disturbing behavior of her baby, along with the dark dreams sent to
her by the lurking demon in human form, convinced her of the truth of
the matter. Knowing that she could not allow her own child to
live a life of torment and servitude, she did the only thing she
could think of. Keeping her knowledge a secret from her
husband, she plotted to kill both him and the baby, hoping death
would free her child's soul. |

| PERSONALITY | |||||
|
Jason tends toward moody stoicism as he must always keep his emotions in check, lest the demon try to exert its influence. Any strong emotion, but especially those tied to the Seven Deadly Sins, can be used by the demon in its attempts to take control. As a result, Jason rarely shows any emotion and keeps most people at a distance. This and his career of tracking down scum has given him a very dark and cynical view of life and humanity. |

| POWERS/TACTICS | |||||
|
Jason's powers come primarily from the
demon residing within him. However, he's reluctant to use those
powers as the "voice" of the demon becomes "louder"
when he changes forms. As a result, he cannot stay in his
demonic form for long before the demon starts to assert its own
personality. Still, even when he's unchanged, the demon is
constantly "whispering" in the back of his mind,
encouraging him to follow his baser instincts. |

| CAMPAIGN_USE | |||||
|
Jason Nathanson
is an example of a Dark Champions level brick. He's at about the
limit of invulnerability allowed for the campaign. Also, most of
his disadvantages are tied to his demonic powers, keeping with the
theme of how supernatural powers often come at a great cost. His
primary skill set comes from the Bounty Hunter package deal outlined in
Dark Champions. I can hear some of you thinking, "Wait, he's a bounty hunter but he doesn't have a gun?" Well, actually, he does (a .38 revolver to be exact). However, by the conventions of the Monster Hunting genre, the majority of what he would go up against would largely be immune to normal guns. So, while he might brandish it about and use it to intimidate norms, you'll never actually see him use it effectively against anyone. Either the target will be immune, he'll be deprived of the gun somehow or the action scene is so minor that it's not worth playing out and is better handled with a narrative summary. |
