Description

Jason Solis was given away by his teen parents and raised in abusive foster homes and just bad orphanages his entire life. He turned to a life of crime as a punk kid and was heading down a bad road when he and his fellow gang memebers robbed a Mom and Pop grocery store  but when the old man behind the counter had a heart attack, rather than run like his friends he stayed behind and gave first aid until help arrived. he later found out his friends where caught by the shadowy crime fighter that protects the city and that the hero let him go cuz in the end he chose the right thing to do. 3 yrs later the teen have turned his life around, on the straight and narrow. he has taken every martail arts class he can find and has turned the 'free running' he and his friends used to use to escape the law into a tool, that lets him navigate the street and protect his neighborhood.

i love the look of the character and his origin maybe he was inspired to be a hero by the shadowy crime fighter that didn't turn him in.
i like that the ghosts on his costume are the other generic ghost type and pac man type ghost.


it's your character but i had these thought on his origin. he still gets arrested for the robbery but the store owner speaks on
his behalf to the judge because he did the right thing so he gets 3 years instead of longer, maybe he even works at the grocery store sometimes when he gets out or maybe just probation.

yeah, the ghost logo was something I just had to change as I didn't want any comparisons at all to any copyrighted stuff as I FULLY intend on making this character a full multi-issue comic, as a way to get what I can do out there as well as testing myself.

now his origin did get a lil bit more cemented in my mind as I am working on the books currently. the kid was straight up arrest and was sitting in his cell, when the shadowy hero basically took gave him an ultimatum. be one of his agents, get trained, leave his old name and any chance of a life behind and do what ever the boss tells him to OR stay in the jail.

really wanted to push the 'worst' parts of the 'hey you, impressionable youth do as I say, im a shadowy hero,' and how that's gonna effect what is basically a child soldier in a war he was forced into, all the while torturing himself with guilt for his part in the convenient store clerk's death.

Great outfit... and... a nice mix of Dick and Jason Todd.

thanks, was trying to get a younger less refined nightwing, a little rough around the edges in his skills so I guess the Jason Todd ref makes sense.

And you got it well.  I thought of Jason Todd just from the first name and the "grown up" sidekick look.

Very nice...and I know the injury on Thanksgiving thing!

I took a fall and proceeded to completely throw my entire tailbone stack out again (after having it fixed the day before) and have had sciatica ever since!  And I can't do anything...if I sit for more than ten minutes, it hurts because it's manifested as a literal pain in the arse!  So no new handmade greeting cards from me for a while...injured nerves take forever...

I hope your wrist recovers fast...!
