Message: <blockquote data-quote="Calinon" data-source="post: 1686581" data-attributes="member: 13737">Jason McAllister Jason is a hard working construction worker for Maynard Construction, a large development firm that has divisions engaged in construction contracts from home-building to factories to skyscrapers.  Showing good promise in the field, the company is paying for Jason to be schooled as an engineer, something he is applying himself to.  While his boss, Melvin Maynard, and various supervisors have taken Jason under their wings, so-to-speak, in recent weeks, they have taken more than their normal interest since Jason's powers, the ability to change his form to substances harder than flesh and bone (alternate form), have surfaced.  The strength he adds has improved his productivity... and suddenly decreased the need for a fair number of construction workers on projects Jason is involved in.  (That'd be hook #1) Jason (25) takes care of his kid brother Alan (16) who is living with him instead of their disfunctional family.  His father (Mark) is an abusive alcoholic, and their mother (Melissa) much the same.  All of them live in New York.  His parents are not very supportive regarding Jason's sudden powers; his kid brother thinks it's way cool.  Jason's grandfather, Micky, is exceedingly well-to-do, wealthy through clever business arrangements and dealings that Jason is not privy to.  They have a good relationship, and Micky considers Jason the only one of his immediate family worth a damn.  Jason doesn't rely on Micky financially however, and hasn't ever asked for handouts.  (That'd be a nice big family hook #2). And for fun, Jason has served a term in the Army, and is currently a member of the reserves (Hook #3). Hope that covers the basics <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
