If I can't have one...YOU CAN'T EITHER!
~ The Match Taker's catchphrase.


The Match Taker, born as Jason Gray, is a serial killer who began killing after losing his twin and the love of his life. His main targets are siblings, married folks, and anyone in a happy relationship.

Origin[]

Jason was a very stressed child. He grew up with an abusive, drunkard father and lost his mother Kelly to cancer at the age of six. His father would leave Jason alone for hours as he went to drink, this developed into a fear of being alone. Be begged his father to stay at home with him but it always resulted in him being beaten and called "crybaby". When alone he tried to talk with his adult older brother Kyle but with him having a full-time job he often wasn't around to comfort him.

When Jason grew to his teen years he became distant. He resented his father and would write about he wanted to kill him in a hidden journal. He would often comment on having fits of crying followed by menacing laughter, these were the first signs of his developing insanity. At school, kids found it unsettling to be near him, he seemed to "emit" despair. He also became noticeably violent, frequently getting into fights. He at home he was often beaten by his father for his violent behaviors, this only prompted greater anger and hopelessness in Jason. Jason found some relief in confiding in his brother, often telling him "I would surely lose my mind without you". His brother thought that he could help his little brother by letting him get rid of excess energy. In an attempt to do this he bought him a set of twin swords and a bow with target arrows. He seemed pleased and used them often and thanked his brother with a rather eerie pleasure.

In his early years as an adult, he seemed to recover a bit. Leaving his father helped him calm down. He even found love, a woman named Adriana. The two even had a wedding at his new home. In his vows, Jason called her "his better half". His father and brother attended the wedding. His brother gave him a black hoodie for a present and told him how happy he was for him. His father, drunk at the time, voiced his complete disapproval for the wedding and in his drunken state attacked his newlywed. His father found one of Jason's swords and proceeded to decapitate her. Her head rolled to Jason's feet and Jason fell to the ground. In this instance, his now healing mind had snapped, signified by his fit of tears and haunting laughter. He grabbed the second sword and stabbed his father repeatedly, killing him. When his brother tried to stop him he slit his throat in a blind rage.

He chased off his other guests and took a few things, his bow, swords, and his brother's wedding gift. Then he burned his house to the ground with the bodies in it. He sat in front of the flames and laughed, and cried as embers landed on his skin and burned his hoodie as he wore it.

With those who gave him happiness and his "better half" gone, Jason's mind justified that if he lost his happiness, those who had it would lose it too. He started a serial killing rampage, targeting those who he deemed to be happy with family and relationships.

Appearance[]

Jason is described commonly as a tall man covered in small burns. Having numerous burns over his body, most abundantly on his face, and his hoodie. Another distinct feature is his rare yellow eyes. He is slim built reaching a height of 5'11" to 6'1". While his age is unknown he is likely in his early to mid-twenties. He is always wearing his black hoodie which had a portion of the hood and the left sleeve burned off. His clothes vary but he is mostly seen wearing black jeans and a red t-shirt along with his signature hoodie.

Personality[]

Before the fire, Jason was a depressed and somewhat aggressive child and teenager. After the incident, he became bloodthirsty, sadistic, and far more violent.

Jason is best known to stalk his victims, observing them determine whether or not they are in or have any happy relationships. His preferred style of murder is to have the two in the relationship together and then kill one of them with his swords, forcing the other to watch before being released relatively unharmed. If it is not likely to achieve this, he will resort to killing one of the two with his bow. However, he will use any weapon in a desperate situation. He is a very stealthy individual, being able to break into homes almost always avoiding detection.

Powers and Abilities[]

While Jason is a normal human, he seems to have some slight supernatural ability such as incredible strength, speed, and stealth used to slaughter his chosen victim. He displays extraordinary hearing and sight, bordering superhuman to observe his likely target from a distance. Even at a young age, Jason seemed to emit a "stench of despair". Those affected by it slowly fall into a strong depression, losing the will to fight and gain a desire to be close to their loved one/ones. He is a skilled combatant with swords and in using a bow. His determination to watch his target suffer gives him great patience and stamina.
