== Weaknesses ==
== History ==
He has been and always will be a bit of a nerd. He isn't very socially skilled, most of his skills come into play when he is on a case or a case has just ended and he can't really apply them to casual situations. He also does not make snap decisions well, preferring to mull over the possibilities for a while before deciding he tends to make poor choices when forced into a quick decision.  He also happens to be a bit paranoid of government oversight and spying on him.
Jason Talbard's story begins with his early years in a tightly-knit family. Born to Elizabeth and Charles Talbard, he was the middle child, flanked by an older brother, Michael, and a younger sister, Sarah. Growing up in a household filled with love and intellectual curiosity, Jason developed a passion for learning from a young age. His parents, both educators, instilled in him the value of knowledge, leading him to spend countless hours immersed in books. This love for reading persisted into adulthood, manifesting in a unique habit of purchasing both digital and hardback copies of his favorite titles, resulting in shelves lined with pristine, seldom-touched books.


== Ambitions ==
Jason's hobbies extended beyond the pages of his books. As a keen observer of human behavior, he found amusement in people-watching, often losing himself in the stories and lives that unfolded before his eyes in public spaces. His childhood fascination with pinball machines evolved into a casual adult interest, reminding him of simpler times.
Make money, help people out, and stay out of the government's crosshairs.


== Hobbies and Interests ==
Despite his well-rounded upbringing, Jason always felt an inherent desire to help others, a trait that was not fully realized until his teenage years. Immersed in the world of role-playing games, he discovered a knack for investigation and research, skills that would later define his professional path. The advent of the Internet further fueled his curiosity, opening doors to a realm of information that was previously beyond his reach.
He mostly enjoys learning things and reading books.  While he enjoys eBooks he also tends to buy another copy of a book he likes in physical hardback as well.  This means his shelves are covered in books that have the odd property of being seldom touched.  He also likes to people-watch, observing people amuses him greatly.
 
== Family ==
He was born an orphan, though he was never abused by any of the homes he went to he always felt apart from the family. All in all though he was an orphan he was a lucky one and being in the system didn't really ruin him as it did most people.  The closest to family that he has is an "Aunt Vivian or Viv" (someone who once took care of him) who lives in Chicago but he rarely see's her though they talk on the phone somewhere around once a month.
 
== History ==
He became infected with the wildcards virus when he was a preteen.  His powers developed slowly and it took him years of training to be able to master them.  To that end he used martial arts methods to train himself to use his powers. Along the way he picked up Judo, Jujitsu, and Karate but still prefers to sit in the background and not be noticed.  As an adult he couldn't conform to college standards and without a paper degree decided to open of a Private Investigator office in S.F., CA called "[[Out of Aces Detective Agency]]".


[[Category:People]]
Jason's academic journey was marked by a profound enthusiasm for learning, although he found the rigid structure of traditional education stifling. Instead of pursuing a conventional college degree, he channeled his investigative skills into a more practical field. After high school, he delved into the world of private investigation and security, gaining valuable experience with several firms in the Bay Area.
