End Chapter 1 MRE App and Character Info

Jason Kelly

The protagonist of the story, Jason was once athletic, but hit a major growth spurt in high school which put a strain on his physicality and he hasn’t gotten back into sports or regular workouts since. He is now 6’8” tall, but a bit on the skinny side, still big enough to dwarf most people up close. He’s had very little luck when it comes to romance, and while he’s had a few flirty relationships, the one time he thought he had something good going online, it turned out to be a catfish scam. Despite his background in running, he’s also quite intelligent and creative, going to school to major in computer sciences and working at a tech company as a coder. But with a lack of assertiveness and self-esteem, he is somewhat underpaid, and underappreciated, and quite a few people in his life have learned they can take advantage of him if they are clever about it.
