Jason Volta

"It's a good day when no one has to smell ionized air. For me included!" - Jason

Jason Volta was a suspiciously friendly and helpful freelance mercenary operating around the East Coast and Midwest in the 2280s. He was something of an enigma, known for his skill in electrical engineering and traveling around to repair such systems and performing odd jobs. He was also known for carrying a strange revolver-like energy weapon and a sword made out of Assaultron blades. To the trained eye he seemed to originate from a Vault, due to his modified Vault-Tech security armor.

Though some suggested his description matched that of a raider known as Chase the Zapknife. The Zapknife was part of a mysterious gang known as the Psions, which disappeared in 2278 after a brief, but we'll earned reputation in the Hardnorth Connection, the region comprising of the ruins of Connecticut.

History
Jason would tell conflicting stories about his past to any friends he made, such as seeing the Prydwen first take off, learning about electricity from books in a cave, being born in the Enclave, or would otherwise dodge the question. When asked about his gun or his sword, he'd answer that they belonged to his sister. To the careful observer, it was clear he had a connection with a Vault numbered 121.

Appearance
Standing at average height, Jason had distinctly short and spikey white hair, despite no evidence of Pre-War hair products applied to it and his eyes were of an unnaturally bright blue hue that he kept underneath reflective blue sunglasses. Besides this, he looked more or less normal with his light complexion.

When traveling, he'd wear a short navy overcoat over a ballistic security vest with pieces of leather and urban recon scout armor over the shoulders and sleeves. His jeans would be reinforced with light combat armor pieces and combat boots.

Personality
When it came down to business, Jason was more or less straightforward in his methods and would rarely resort to outright deception to obtain certain information. When he was threatening, it was a careful facade. He seemed driven by purpose rather than bottlecaps, and a desire to redeem both himself and others around him.

Somehow, he maintained a positive attitude and answered challenges or depressing situations with humor, music, and comic book references, even in combat. His disposition towards violence as a solution was limited, but so was his pacifism.
