| Physical Description | Jason Barton is on the tall side for a human, with a trim, healthy physique. He has short dirty-blonde hair, and he likes to grow a short beard when ship regulations allow for it. He has light grey eyes, and a tendency to scan every corner of whatever room he’s in with them. He rarely sits still, his body seeming too full of energy, his hands always working or fidgeting with something. During his off hours he can seem easily distracted as well, moving from subject to subject as his mercurial interest leads him. When focus is called for however, he becomes still, his eyes become intent, and he dedicates himself to what he’s doing and that moment in time. |

Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Jason is honest, hardworking, direct, a straight shooter, he is also an adrenaline junky who loves to feel alive. In most regards the more regimented life of a Starfleet officer suits Jason very well, it gives him structure and direction, it helps him keep all the pieces of his life in order. A life in Starfleet also offers him the unparalleled thrill of controlling spacecraft, an exhilarating and dangerous activity that takes up all his attention to perform to the best of his ability. The rest of the time his mind is busy, his attention drawn to every little thing around him. He is pulled by an interest in everything but finds it difficult to stay with most interests for very long, this makes flying that much more special to him since he has always loved it. When dealing with others he appreciates a direct approach, feeling that too many other people make their lives needlessly complicated by being circumspect. Following from this he will almost never engage in subterfuge of his own volition. | |
| Strengths & Weaknesses | + Jason is a quick thinker, his restless mind runs fast and can process a situation quickly, lending him to excellent situational awareness, at least where flying is concerned. + Jason is a jack of many trades, his appetite for learning and wide-ranging interests mean he knows a little about a lot of things, though his knowledge often doesn’t run very deep. + Jason is a problem solver, he has a knack for looking at an issue from different angles and thinking his way out of problems, this occasionally comes in handy. - Jason is rather unfocused it must be said, not that diverse interests are always a bad thing, but this trait of his personality can sometimes make it difficult for him to keep up with his duties as an officer. - Jason is a bit of a daredevil, and the thing about courting danger is that it can often get you or somebody else hurt. - Jason is also somebody who doesn’t think ahead all that much, he can handle the near future well enough, but he doesn’t always have a plan for the long term, or in case the unexpected happens |

| Ambitions | Jason might like to aim for command one day, but for now, his primary goal is to fly as often as he can and see all the sights the galaxy is willing to offer to him. His dream job would be to become a test pilot for the Advanced Starship Design Bureau. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | Broadly speaking Jason likes anything that will get his adrenaline pumping, and he enjoys a number of high-speed sports. Being also a lover of competition, he has held an interest in racing even longer than flying, it’s one of his favorite things to do. Action holo-novels, recreated thrill rides, puzzles, a number of his interests follow directly from his restless mind and how he likes to quiet it. One of the advantages of having so much speed in his life is that the contrast helps bring out the best of the peaceful moments. Jason loves nature and being in nature. Hiking being a perennial favorite of his too. |
| Personal History | Jason grew up in California ‘in the shadow of Starfleet Headquarters’. His early years were troubled as he found his school and limited horizons stifling, he had not yet learned ways to settle his mind. Some in his life said that they could tell from an early age that the boy who loved to race remote control drones, would end up flying starships one day. Jason would say he ‘heard the stars calling his name,’ and set out on the path to the academy whether it was expected of him or not. He was not at the top of his class, but most certainly didn’t perform poorly. Hitherto, he’s never doubted that he made the right choice, there are harsh realities in space that he hadn’t been expecting but it’s also been the most thrilling experience of his life. | |
