[li]Seeker of Glory - "The world will know the name of Jason, and it will honor it."
- Jason doesn't just want glory, he believes that he deserves it, given his royal lineage and divine backing. As such, when he perceives a challenge, he will stop at nearly nothing in accomplishing it, in order to prove to the world his greatness. Direct to him are almost always taken up on principle, and will frequently take up vengeance on the behalf of others in order to propogate his legend.
[/li][li]Man of Whimsy - "I would as soon strike you down as aid you. Make my mind up before I choose myself."
- Jason is a creature of impulses and whims. If his fancy takes it, he will commit the most selfless of kindnesses or the most malignant of cruelties.
[/li][li]Incidentally Heroic - "I'm a hero. Don't you know?"
- Jason's glory-seeking ways have lead to him appearing quite heroic and dashing the populace at large. His company aboard the Argo has only perpetuated this perception. While from a purely Greek perspective, Jason is a hero, more modern scholars almost unanimously see him as an arrogant, skilled, insensitive, selfish man.
[/li][li]Free Spirit - "No lord holds my allegiance. I am my own king."
- Jason's only permanent loyalties are to himself. Lords, lovers, friends, nations - he will abandon them if he feels the need (or just wants to). If he sees loyalty to them as an opportunity for heroics and glory, though, he'll stick by them, but otherwise... welp, nice knowing you.
[/li][li]Glory Magnet - "Yeah, I totally got the Fleece by myself."
- Jason would not have gotten far without his crew and Medea, but takes much of the credit for their accomplishments regardless. This was probably what made his legend so strong, in retrospect. If he is in any sort of group endeavor, he will claim the lion's share of the glory if possible.
[/li][li]Boundless Pride - "I am son of Aeson, heir to the throne of Iolcus, hero of the goddess Hera, slayer of beasts, and the captain of the Argo. I am Jason!"
- The one thing that always remains the same about Jason is his ego. Between his royal blood and divine patronage, Jason honestly believes himself to be the better of 90% of the population. If you insult his pride, he will hurt you, no questions asked. If you stroke his ego, he'll be much better disposed to you.
[/li][li]Priceless Respect - "Behold the Argonauts - the greatest band of heroes to ever set foot upon the world."
- Jason's respect is exceedingly hard to earn - some even say impossible. This comes from a mix of his incredibly large ego and the fact that he lived much of his life in contact with legends such as Orpheus, Herakles, Peleus, and Chiron. Still, if you are able to impress him under your own power and conviction, he will honor you like no one else. Of course, this will usually just extend to 'I'll fight you with everything I have', but miracles have been known to happen.
[/li][li]Father - "To touch my children is death."
- Despite all of his shortcomings, Jason is a loving (if unskilled) father to his children, perhaps because he grew up without parents himself.
[/li][li]Captain of the Argos - "This is my ship, gentlemen. You'll do as I say, unless you prefer to swim."
- While Jason's loyalties may stray, his abilities as a leader when it is in his own interest to be one are undeniable. The great hero Herakles recognized this, and acceded captaincy of the Argo to him without hesitation. Even if they disliked him, no one could deny that he had the sheer ability and mindset to see the voyage through. With his own reckless abandon and deeds, he is able to inspire those around him to greater heights.

MY LEGEND: //[/color]
MY HISTORY[/color]: //
MY GOALS[/color]: //
Bare hands - Like any good Greek hero, Jason is no slouch in the unarmed combat division, and between his strength and speed, is a formidable foe, but is still outclassed by armed Servants.
Sword - Jason's go-to weapon is his short, double-edged sword, and is a dangerous element on the battlefield when armed with this weapon.
NOBLE PHANTASM[/color]: //
The Argo - Ship of Legends
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 2-99
Max Targets:
CLASS ABILITIES[/color]: //
Riding - A+: Creatures on the level of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind. [Jason has dealt with taming magical beasts before, and captains the magical ship Argo. There is almost nothing that he cannot ride.]
Magic Resistance - C: Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals. [Over his life, he's downed several magical potions and killed various magical and supernatural beings, and was even with a sorcerer woman for a while, so he's built up something of a resistance.]
SKILLS[/color]: //
Charisma - D: The level for Tribal Chiefs, Mayors, or Field Officers such as Captains or Colonels. [Captained the Argo and lead the Argonauts through many crises.]
Navigator of the Storm - C: The ability to command a ship or fleet. Comparable to Charisma or Military Tactics, but is limited to the ship or fleet that the Servant identifies with. [Captained the Argo and was known to bring incredible naval feats out of his crew and ship, but his lack of empathy with the crew limits him from going any further.]
