Alignment: Lawful Good
Faction: The Lawmen
Physical Description
_________________________________________________________
Jason is compact and stocky, possessing a wrestler's build with a long torso and broad shoulders, but slightly shorter legs. Still, as a short Gunslinger he is roughly of average height for a normal human. He has fair skin and sandy hair, with thin, scraggly stubble along his jaw and a close-cropped, unruly mess on his head. He has the silver-grey eyes of a Gunslinger, as well as the beginnings of what will become a web of silver lines as his power increases, extending along his dominant left arm from his gun hand. Aside from that, he is relatively ordinary looking, with decidedly average features, a smallish nose and a narrow jaw. The most noticeable trait, however, is his bearing; Jason walks and stands with conviction and determination, and bears the stamp of honesty and pride as clearly as any scar or tattoo.
Personality
_________________________________________________________
Jason Davis is young, idealistic and slightly naive. He is a bit shy, and unused to dealing with people outside of a professional setting. Nevertheless, he is very determined and strong-willed, even if his goals are a bit unrealistic, and cares deeply about the people of Aldoria. He is courageous to the point of foolishness, and unwilling to back down from a fight, or refuse a challenge. Obsessed with Justice, fairness, and honor, he refuses to take advantage of an opponent, and would consider a victory achieved through trickery or deceit no victory at all. This puts him at something of a disadvantage against more pragmatic opponents, who are willing to take full advantage of his fairness, with no intention of repaying it.
History
_________________________________________________________
Born in Chreston, a small desert village under the protection of the Lawmen, Jason was the son of famous Master Gunsmith and retired Judge Hannibal Davis. Hannibal was a tough man, and not particularly experienced in the ways of parenting, or expressing his emotions. Having lost his mother to a bandit raid before he could walk, Jason was left to be raised by Hannibal alone. As a result, his childhood was a valuable experience, but not a particularly enjoyable one. Groomed by his father to be a Lawman from a young age, Jason didn't have many friends, and spent more time in the desert, learning to survive and fight, or buried in a book. When he turned 18, Hannibal payed a lot of money (and called in a lot of favors) to send him to the Republic for university. Though Jason valued the unparalleled education he received, he was less than pleased with the social life. Looked down on by the other students for coming from the wastes, and considered an ignorant barbarian by most Republicans, he left Kryssia with a distinct distaste for the upper classes, and a renewed determination to join the Lawmen and fight for the poor and the voiceless.
When he returned home, he discovered that his father had provided him with just the tool for the job. Hannibal had sacrificed himself to create a chance for his son that he himself had never had: a Legendary Gun, the Paladin. Immaculately crafted, with all of the love and concern Hannibal had born for his son, but never quite managed to show, the Paladin recognized and Chose Jason the moment he put his hand on it. Newly bonded, Jason applied to join the Lawmen, and after four years of training, he was given the badge of a Sheriff.
Armed with his father's masterpiece and the best education and training in the wastes, Jason set out, determined to bring Justice to Aldoria. What he found, was somewhat different than he had expected. Far from the all-powerful saviors he'd read about in stories and comic books, the Lawmen were stretched thin, poorly equipped, barely funded and largely ineffective. For every killer they hung, for every thief they clapped in irons, ten more sprung up that they didn't have the resources to deal with. Jason had never considered the involvement of money or supplies in saving the wasteland, but once actually out in it, he found the lack of these things stymieing him at every turn. Frustrated, he applied to be transferred to the Marshals, who were less restricted by supply chains, and more free to enforce Justice by tracking down fugitives. Though normally reserved for much more experienced Gunslingers, the Marshals accepted Jason in light of his enhanced healing factor, and his father's reputation.
As one of the youngest Marshals in history, Jason is now about to set out on his first mission.
Signature Weapon(s) & Equipment
_________________________________________________________

History: Crafted by Jason's father, Hannibal, the Paladin Longslide Custom was designed specifically for Jason. Hannibal Davis was a Lawman before taking up gunsmithing, known for his compassion and willingness to sacrifice anything if it meant saving one innocent life. His spirit inhabits the Paladin, giving it the ability to generate a protective shield that can defend others as well as the wielder from otherwise devastating attacks, shielding people in death as he did in life, though it rapidly depletes the wielder's mental focus and energy. As a result of Hannibal's love for and desire to protect his son, the Paladin also enhances Jason's healing abilities, putting him on par with much more powerful Gunslingers in his capacity for punishment.
So far, Jason is the only person to possess the Paladin.

Powers and Abilities
_________________________________________________________
Jason, as a very young, and relatively weak Gunslinger, doesn't have much in the way of powers. Beyond the standard Gunslinger toolset, he can;
- Heal much more rapidly than someone of his power level normally would
- Generate a powerful, unidirectional forcefield that can deflect attacks from both himself and anyone behind the shield
