Personality: Give us at minimum 2-3 full paragraphs of how you understand your character's personality. Talk about basic characteristics, any major developments over the course of their canon, their motives, their social behavior, and anything else you can think of that shows off your knowledge of this character.

To the naked eye, Jason was perfect with the exception of the small scar on his lip. He was good-looking, talented and an all-around great guy. The challenge he had growing up because he was not an ordinary child. He was a demigod and his sire was Jupiter himself and because of that he had very big shoes to fill. It didn't help that Juno chose him to be her champion. And quite, frankly he was really the picture of a Hero of Justice. Percy even made a comment about him looking like blond Superman.

Jason didn't have one people would think was a healthy and normal childhood. He didn't grow up with his mother or his sister but was raised by wolves. He was named after the hero, Jason. Juno's favorite to soften her towards him. For twelve years, he had been a resident of Camp Jupiter. Because of his strong sense of duty and honor, most of his life was spent training and proving himself to be deserving of his spot. He was earning the respect of his father, Juno and his fellow campers.

Even without his memories at first and waking up in a bus in the beginning of 'The Heroes of Olympus', Jason was still cautious and cynical about Piper and Leo. Sure, he found Piper (The person who introduced herself as his girlfriend) super good-looking and attractive. Leo (The guy who introduced himself as his bestfriend.) didn't seem that dangerous either but he was trained to not judge a book by its cover. However, strangely when one of the kids on the bus said something to hurt Piper, he fought just to keep himself from punching them. He really hated mean people.

It was later very easy for him to warm up to Leo and Piper. When Leo attacked Rome, despite knowing him for just a short time he wanted to trust that the friend he fought with never do that willingly. That is a big deal. Jason cared for Camp Jupiter and is very protective of it, yet he still chose to trust his friend. Then again, he also knew better than anyone that gods do crazy things. Leo is very different from Jason. While Jason was serious (but known to make a few jokes), Leo was the imp and prankster yet they did have a good relationship, though Leo does admit being jealous of Jason. Sometimes, Jason would say something very serious and Leo would pipe a joke or two.

“I'm the son of Jupiter, I'm a child of Rome, consul to demigods, praetor of the First Legion. I slew the Trojan sea monster, I toppled the black throne of Kronos, and destroyed Titan Krios with my own hand. And now I'm going to destroy you Porphyrion, and feed you to your own wolves."

"Wow, dude," Leo muttered, "You been eating red meat?”

By the Mark of Athena, it had even been revealed that he had began seriously dating Piper. At first, their whole relationship had been a fake memory given to them by Hera. However, from the beginning even when he was suspicious of Piper he found her attractive and had even voiced out how beautiful she was when she was claimed by Aphrodite. Not to mention complimenting her for being cute, smart and violent. He even gets jealous when Piper gives any of her attention to another guy. The more time they spent together, the closer they became and he liked being close to her. He never hesitates to show how serious he was when Piper was honest with her insecurities.

“I don't deserve you."
"You're not allowed to say that."
"Why not?"
"It's a breakup line. Unless you're breaking up-"
Jason leaned over and kissed her. The colors of the Roman afternoon suddenly seemed sharper, as it the world had switched to high definition.
"No breakups," he promised. "I may have busted my head a few times, but I'm not that stupid.”

Most of his life, his father, Jupiter had been absent. He is usually there to help when he is needed. Jason feels that gods are crazy and his father is probably not an exception (You'd only have to be crazy to cheap on Hera). Understandably, he may not like Juno very much but he does feel like he has a duty to rescue her. He'd put personal feelings aside for the good of everyone else. He isn't close to his sister and knows nothing about her, so there is not much to comment about their relationship. Thalia does care for him though and was very furious and clearly holds a grudge for when Juno had taken him away when he was still a child.

Strengths/Weaknesses: Try to cover the good points of what they can do, their life skills (not necessarily powers, but things they're just good at). Go into their biggest fears and what they just can’t do.

+ ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). Normally, this would be probably be a negative trait, but in Jason's world --- this meant that he had inborn battle reflexes. His senses are sharp and he is always ready for a fight.

+ Combat. Since the age of two, he had been trained to become the Champion of Juno. He is just as good as Percy Jackson and was said to be the strongest in the Roman Camp before he disappeared and it is known that the training in Camp Jupiter is much harsher than Camp Halfblood. He can also sense when something dangerous is approaching. Even without memories, he still can fight --- his instincts take over.

+ Weaponry. Jason doesn't need his demi-god abilities to put up a good fight. He is good with the spear and the sword. Part of his training in the Camp Jupiter.

+ Latin and Extensive knowledge of Roman legends and creatures. He can read, speak and write it naturally, having lived in the Roman camp for most of his life.

+ He is the all-around good guy. He always strives to do the good thing, even if it meant jeopardizing his mission. He has a strong sense of honor and justice. He really hates mean kids. Even if they are bullying someone he didn't know.

+ Loyalty. His friends always come first. He had placed his life in danger multiple times to defend them.

+ Natural Leader. Like Percy, Jason has that certain charisma. It also helped that since his birth he had been groomed to become a champion for Juno and a leader for Camp Jupiter, where he is also a Praetor.

+ Critical of himself. Despite the fact that rarely does anyone doubt Jason's judgment, when someone is hurt because of a decision he made he does begin to doubt himself.

+/- Serious. Since he was the 'Son of Jupiter,' he had always been looked up to and respected. He always felt that it was only right to return their respect by never letting them down. He takes his responsibilities very seriously. Unfortunately, because he is looked up to and respected he doesn't have a lot of friends.

- Moderate sense of humor. With so much responsibility placed on his shoulders from such a young age, he didn't have a lot of time to develop a sense of humor. He does have one, but not as big as Leo's and his jokes are not as flashy as Leo's.

- Won't socialize unless necessary. Because he is very cautious by nature, he is never the type to the first to make friends with someone. However, he is polite and respectful when approached to.

[ Jason's pikachu is very good at pick-pocketing. Very good. This time, he didn't pick-pocket his wallet or harmless knick knacks. This time, he took Jason's gear. Having never seen anything like it before, it unintentionally turned on the video.

The first thing the gear will show would be the curious and beady eyes of the pikachu. He was delighted to find himself having an audience. After a minute, he began dragging the gear into a clearing ...

... wear a shirtless Jason had began his sword training. He was drenched in sweat and lost in concentration. Since he couldn't find his weapon, nor did he have any chance of acquiring one he was using a tree branch at the moment. It didn't have the right weight, but it would have to do for now.

Noticing the pikachu seemed to have picked up something, Jason frowned and turned towards it. ]

Fulgur, what do you have there?

[ Finally recognizing what it was, Jason's eyes widened and ran to take it from the pikachu. Obviously, he became visibly annoyed. ]

Give me that back --- you--- come back here!

[ But it was too late. The feed stopped, but it seemed Fulgur the pikachu managed to get away. ]

Third Person Sample: The sample must take place in Route_29's setting. The minimum is 300 words. Please note that what we are looking for is an inner working into the character’s thoughts and actions, and how the character responds to the setting, not something that could be taken as an excerpt fanfic. You may use other characters to bounce your characters actions off of, but everything should still be mostly from their point of view.

Jason Grace knew that he was in deep --- trouble with a capital T even before he knew what was going on.

This was another strange case of déjà vu. Like what had happened not long ago in a field trip to the Grand Canyon, he had woken up to an unfamiliar location with no memories how he got there. Except, this time he wasn't holding hands with a pretty girl.

Instead he was on an unfamiliar bed and in an unfamiliar room with what he would describe as a very large rodent staring at him with what appeared to be staring at him curiously. Was it ... a mouse? A rat maybe? He couldn't even tell.

He shook his head, trying to clear it and wondered if Hera was doing something to his memories again or maybe his eyesight, because it was still hard to believe what he was seeing. After a moment, he decided that at least most of his memories were still intact. Only his memories of his 'kidnapping' seemed to be tampered with. Looking around, not surprisingly, he couldn't find Gladius. What kidnapper would allow his hostage to keep his weapon?

Unlike most young boys, Jason didn't spend a lot of time playing games like Pokemon. He didn't have what you'd call a normal childhood. To be deserving of being called Hera's champion, he had spent most of his life training and failure was not an option.

So, he had no idea that what he was looking at was a Pokemon.

When it didn't disappear when he opened his eyes, he frowned and reached for the nearest weapon he could find. So far, the creature didn't look hostile. But being Roman, Jason knew better than to judge anything by its looks. His training taught him to be wary of everything, especially the most harmless of creatures.

"What are you? What do you want from me? Did you bring me here?" He asked the pikachu. It was only later that he wanted to laugh at himself for actually talking to a rodent.

He will rescue people in trouble and right every wrong. However, when he fails at his goal, he blames himself for his failure and doubt his ability.

Because of his strong sense of duty and honor, most of his life was spent training and proving himself to be deserving of his spot. He was earning the respect of his father, Juno and his fellow campers. Jason is very charismatic and is someone people admired and looked up to, because of this Jason didn't have a lot of friends nor did he have much experience with making friends. But then again, he is a Roman and they are born to be serious and fierce warriors. Different from the artistic Greeks.

[ Jason's pikachu is very good at pick-pocketing. Very good. It is a very klepto pikachu. However this time, the pikachu didn't pick-pocket Jason's wallet or harmless knick knacks. He stole someone's Pokegear. The right thing to do was to find the owner and return it ...

... and being the blond Superman that he is, that was exactly what he did. Risking the fact that he might get arrested for stealing.

The gear turned on and the image of a handsome, blonde boy appears on the screen. He was young ... maybe mid-teens, looking a bit nervous and tired (Like he had been chasing a hyperactive Pikachu the whole day). ]

Err ... I honestly don't know how to do this ... but I'd like to know if anyone had lost a Pokegear.

The location it had been stol--- I mean --- found was Goldenrod.

If you think this could be yours, tell me your name and where I can find you. I'll know if you're telling the truth because I have a name here in the gear.

[ That last part sounded more like a warning and his eyes looked almost a little cold. His look dared anyone to try and lie to him. To him, that was a fair warning. It vanished as quickly as it came when he shrugged his shoulders and continued with his broadcast. ]

That is all. I am sorry for this short inconvenience.
