Jason Carver
Species & Gender: Male ID-SOL
Organization: Star Military of the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia
Occupation: Marine Infantry - Combat Specialist
Rank: Private
Current Placement: NSN Eagle, 4th Fleet (Plot: Lost in the Void)

Physical Description

  • Jason is an ID-SOL whose base genome was developed from Hanyadi stock. As a result, he is solidly built with broad shoulders and dense, well-defined musculature the likes of which hardcore bodybuilders would aspire to. As displaying said musculature in a variety of poses is an ancient manly competitive tradition, Jason keeps his torso shaved and makes sure to have an emergency supply of oil on hand for any sudden such contests.
  • As one might expect of an ID-SOL, Jason stands at 7ft and 7in (231cm) and weighs in at 298 lbs (135 kg). True to his genome, his skin is of a darker, brown shade reminiscent of chocolate. Especially when oiled. In terms of facial features and complexion, Jason appears to be in his mid-to-late twenties. His eyes are obviously cybernetic, bright-red in colour with glowing orange pupils. When trying to be incognito, he will wear a pair of dark sunglasses, completely ignoring the fact that his eyes are bright enough to still be visible through the lenses. Jason's ears are also obviously cybernetic - although appearing like normal human ears, they are chrome-plated.
  • His facial hair is styled for maximum manliness while remaining easily maintainable in the field. His medium grey hair takes the form of a flat top style that is 2 inches long and tapers down to his ears where it joins the large sideburns that run along Jason's jaw but stop at the outside corners of his mouth. Above his lips rests his pride and glory - a thick, but neat, handlebar moustache that drops on either side to the end of the sideburns.
  • In terms of obvious cybernetics, aside from the eyes and ears, Jason possesses a full left hand replacement after losing the original when dared to shoot it with a shotgun at point blank range to prove his manliness. In keeping with his stealthy styling, the cybernetic hand is chrome-plated and can be used in a pinch as a mirror to peer around corners or ensure his moustache remains correctly styled. The cybernetic eyes offer additional viewing modes of thermal and lowlight vision. The cybernetic ears allow for enhanced hearing and improved situational awareness. In addition, Jason has a testosterone booster implant.
  • Jason was designed to give off a smoky, vanilla scent with notes of amber and cinnamon. His voice is a pleasant, deep baritone that certainly suits his build.
  • As a consummate bastion of manliness, Jason is oft to be found with a cigar in his mouth.

Personality

  • Like most pure ID-SOLS, Jason is naturally immature with the stereotypical fascination for all things manly and macho. This extends to accepting idiotic challenges when such is described as an act of manliness, although Jason has gotten slightly better with restraining the urge to automatically accept such challenges since he lost his left hand.
  • Generally jovial and coming at life with the attitude that what doesn't kill him makes him stronger, Jason is friendly to those around him. As long as they are Nepleslian, at least, because he is a) unsure how trustworthy others are and b) knows you can trust someone wearing the Nepleslian uniform. Jason can be supportive, but prefers to let people learn to be stronger on their own. He does tend towards being protective of his fellow marines when it comes to outside interference though.
  • Possessing the natural confidence of a man who knows he is larger, stronger and manlier than many around him, Jason tends to move smoothly and efficiently like the apex predator he knows himself to be. This also contributes to his bold and direct approach to challenges.
  • Jason exists to serve the needs of the Nepleslian Military. He's fairly certain that with time, he will pick up other goals and desires but he's not there yet. Until then, he's a loyal soldier and the organisation's values are his own and he works hard to make sure he stays in fighting shape.
  • Although not quick to anger, once he is triggered the gloves come off and Jason develops a focus on dealing with the source of said anger as directly and efficiently as possible, sometimes at the risk of his own wellbeing.
  • A part of his post-action routine has become the systematic maintenance of his gear, especially the close-combat weapons he uses.
  • Jason also expends what is probably an unhealthy amount of time and energy into the maintenance and care of his moustache.

History

Background

  • After 'graduating' from the facility, Jason entered service with the Nepleslian Space Marine Corps. This choice was influenced in no small part by his high regard for the 309th that had only years previously saved New Bernese from the reds and fatnecks. His basic training as Marine Infantry lasted for five months.
  • During his first posting, Jason quickly showed himself suitable for further training in a more up-close-and-personal approach to combat. His Sergeant worked with him during 'downtime' to develop these new skills. This would eventually result in him earning a Combat Specialist certification and, soon after, reassignment.

NSN Eagle, 4th Fleet (Lost in the Void plot)

  • Assigned as Combat Specialist to the marine detachment of the NSN Eagle, an Atlas-class Destroyer tasked with locating three missing heavy corvettes that disappeared in an area known for starships going missing.
  • Posts: 1, 2, 3
