Jason Shaver (also known as Jase or Kuda among the members of the cult) is a half-Darkwing Firedrake Shapeshifter from Durasken, Euthora, specifically a city called Jierno.

In Cult of Ustream canon, he is the current leader of the group of the same name. Being a dracoimperist, he currently has three dragons- Fricai, Deathstorm, and Mimring Thunderscale- the latter two of which are bonded to him as Familiars.

In Euthoran Song canon, he is introduced during Fyreborne, where he bonds Mimring and Starlight Thunderscale as his Familiars. He is revealed to be a demigod, and ascends to godhood at the end of the main canon, becoming the Euthoran god of nature's balance.

Appearance

Jason is somewhat lanky, with a pale complexion on a somewhat skinny frame. His jet-black hair is untidy and a fair bit longer than he likes it, though never getting in the way of his sharp emerald-green eyes. The most notable thing about his eyes is their luminosity, as they seem to give off a faint glow, improving his low-light vision. He wears a loose, black t-shirt and faded black jeans, as well as a pentagram necklace that is often tucked into his shirt. On his back a quiver is strapped, along with his signature weapon- a composite longbow. Attached to his waist is an ornate sheath carrying a dagger should Jason decide to get closer to his opponent. All of Jason's animal forms are black with green eyes, even if this coloration is impossible in nature.

Personality

Cult of Ustream

Jason is aloof and solitary among almost all members of the Cult, which often seems contradictory to his role as leader. He can, however, be social when needed or among friends, and will willingly step in to help. While he can be aggressive and dominant, especially among others of his own kind, he is friendly once one gains his trust and proves to have a rather quick mind. His common sense rarely rules, however, and he can be very reckless and impulsive, often needing to be reminded by Mimring to tone it down a notch. As with most Durasken-born Shapeshifters, Jason nurses a strong dislike of humans and a fierce hatred of experiments, clones, constructs, and just about any other type of artificial being. Of course, this often puts him at odds with Lord X-Giga-X...

Euthoran Song

Jason in Euthoran Song canon is more serious and less laid-back than his Cult counterpart, a result of his harsher life as a thief in the streets of Jierno. In fact, he has a far more decisive, take-charge attitude, having been forced to grow up with little to no help after his adoptive father's murder, rather than being raised by dragons. He is still solitary and aloof, and his impulsiveness is only heightened by an inherent aggression to threats and stress. While one who gains his loyalty will have a lifelong friend and fierce defender, this iteration of Jason is far less approachable than the Cultist version and tends to spend very little of his time in human form.

Combat

Fighting Style

Jason is a relatively cautious fighter at the beginning of a battle, preferring to stay at a distance until he learns how his opponent fights. Once this is accomplished, he adapts his strategy of combat in order to win. He is built for and fully capable of switching between ranged combat and close quarters combat.

Powers

  • Dracoimpery: More commonly called Dracomancy on Euthora, Jason has a psychic affinity with dragonkind that allows him to mentally communicate with and control them. This has resulted in him gaining two Familiars in both canons he is a part of (although Mimring is the only common factor there) as well as three additional dragons in Cult of Ustream canon. Shapeshifters do not naturally have this ability, as it is inherently born from a bond between dragons and humans- however, certain mechanics of the power as well as Jason's heritage have led to him inheriting it.
  • Achlympathy: Inherited from his father, Mordicai, Jason has an extremely limited variant of achlympery controlled chiefly by emotions. While in Cult of Ustream canon he is completely unskilled in this power, and can only use it when he feels threatened, angry, or otherwise stressed, he has mastered it in Euthoran Song canon, usin it just as often as his fire when in Darkwing Firedrake form.

Abilities

  • Enhanced Senses: As a Shapeshifter, Jason's senses are incredibly acute, especially his hearing, sense of smell, and lowlight vision. These are often twice the strength or more than is normal for that particular form. Jason takes great pride in his senses.
  • Enhanced Reflexes and Agility: Yet another thing that comes from his species. A Shapeshifter's reflexes are incredible and almost qualify as precognitive if honed. His agility comes from a special chemical created by his body, known as Asyentine. This is very similar to adrenaline in composition and purpose, except that it gives more energy and stimulates his DNA to recode for shapeshifting.
  • Shapeshifting: His "signature" ability of sorts, due to his species. Jason's forms are invariably black with luminescent green eyes, with some of his forms adopting light silver markings, especially around the snout and eyes. In his Feral State, Jason gains dark blue vein-like markings easily visible through fur due to their bioluminescence, and these tend to accompany his silver markings, if present, rather than replace them. He primarily takes predatory forms, such as his two favorite forms- wolf and Darkwing Firedrake- and is able to partially shift and otherwise hybridize between forms. While in reality, Darkwing Firedrake is his base form, he tends to default to human for communication's sake. Both his wolf and Darkwing Firedrake forms heavily affect his personality- more so the latter, resulting in his general aloofness and a tendency towards aggression if pressed too hard.

Equipment

  • Flaming Burst Composite Longbow: By far his most commonly seen weapon, this intricately carved compound bow is made from an unnamed substance, though it has been implied it was carved from dragon horn. Though the bow carries the name "Flaming Burst", this trait is actually attributed to the arrows. These arrows are black with red tips and will erupt in flames upon hitting their target, yet the arrow itself remains unharmed by the explosion.

Strengths & Immunities

Jason, as a shapeshifter, has extremely sharp senses, often double the strength of a normal human's (or whatever form he happens to be in), especially his hearing and night vision. His reflexes are also very good, derived from not just the animal side's survival instinct but also from living for years on the run from Death. In his Darkwing Firedrake form, he is resistant to heat and darkness-based attacks. He has a high enough metabolism that poisons and illness work through his system quickly, rendering them nearly useless, or at least mitigated. His body has a defense mechanism so that if he is badly hurt, he automatically shifts, which heals him slightly. Asyentine gives him more energy than it would give humans.

Weaknesses & Fears

While his acute senses are normally a good thing, Jason's incredible hearing makes him abnormally vulnerable to all sound-based attacks, while his lowlight vision causes him to easily be blinded by bright flashes. His metabolism is so high that he spends energy quickly, and he must eat about his weight in meat roughly every three and a half days or risk starving to death. Like most shapeshifters, he has severe claustrophobia, sometimes becoming almost manic if he is confined in too small a space for too long a time. He is also paranoid and impulsive, which also comes from the shapeshifter survival instinct. His greatest fear, however, is to lose his Familiar, Mimring. He will fiercely defend Mimring with his own life in order to see that no harm befalls the dragon.
