Boosting the Credentials (Jason's Plotting)

[Jason Sutherland]

Jason is back in town. 

You remember him, right? The homeless Englishman who was a bit of a twit that got on everyones nerves?

Several years ago, he was sent back to England. He's now back due to the Company and is a "recruit" of the Company (though they don't really give him many assignments. They're kind of just observing him in order to conduct research such as activating abilities, etc). 

He goes by the name of Boost4U online and has a fairly successful entrepreneurship in selling his power to people; boost their ability, dampen it... or just a hit of adrenaline.

Jason has the ability of Adrenal Manipulation. That is, he can control somebody's adrenal gland to produce (or not) adrenaline. This causes abilities to go into overdrive or become dampened. He is also able to induce heart attacks as well as a very severe case of Fight or Flight.

His ability is his life and he makes money off of it. People want their abilities augmented, they want an adrenaline rush. Jason can provide that. And he's made quite the business from it. He calls them, "Boosts"

He's still up himself, as ever. But he's a lot more educated. And fairly wealthy.

With regard to plotting. There are various things we can do.

There is company related malarky; is your character one of his assignments? Work for the Company? Get wind of who he works for?

Or they're one of his clients? Wanting an adrenaline hit or perhaps even trying to get peace from their ability?

Reply and we can discuss stuff!

So my best bet for my charries is Jordan Mercer.

Jordan is a mental manipulator. He used to use his ability freely, to the point of making his girlfriend think he was someone he wasn't. After he admitted to her that he had lied to her and used her, she committed suicide, and Jordan has felt responsible for that ever since.

So he needs to come to terms with his ability. He's very powerful - he can enter someone's mind and visualize what it's like. And he can seriously fuck someone up. So maybe Jason can help in some way with that. Whatcha think?

[Jason Sutherland]

That could be quite the thread/plot arc. Is Jordan afraid of his ability after what has happened, or is it something different?

I envisage Jordan getting wind of Jason's ability and tracking him down to get a hit. We could play on either Jordan using his ability to royally mess with Jason to 'waiver' the fees or Jordan pays upfront and requests something quite specific?

It could be Jordan asks for a series of boosts or even some dampening?

I mean, if you wanted we could also lead it into something with the Company as Jason is made to seek out specific people to determine how dangerous a special could be, or to just dampen an ability so the Company can do its thing.

Let me know what you think.

[Christian Moynahan]

I think Jordan going to Jason works. I imagine Jordan would be a little nervous, but he'd ask for a boost. He'd probably just pay up front. But I imagine he'd have some ulterior motive for getting a boost (nothing to do directly with Jason, though).

[Jason Sutherland]

That sounds good. I can set up the thread later if you wanted?

Jason tends to want to know about his clients as he deems important to cover himself. He usually just asks about the powers.

It should be interesting to see how it plays out.

OH MY GOD, YOU'RE BACK!? Yes, I'm late to the party. But holycrap HEY! Welcome back! We need to thread or something. I only have Mike nowadays after leaving for awhile myself, but shoot me a PM or something if you're interested. :3

[Jason Sutherland]

Hey Mike (again).

Well, would Mike be after a boost or some sort?? As that could be something we look into?
