Who are you?

Jason Michaels, private military agent

Jason took pride in that he was the only one in his family to see the writing on the wall when it started. When people started changing and the world, many panicked and said it was an invasion or the end of the world. His parents and fellow high school friends slowly began to relax and take an interest in the new world. But Jason was no fool. He knew it would only be a matter of time before these creatures began eating or killing people.

He found a few websites that shared his fears. People began posting about attacks in their neighborhood and how governments and businesses were being infiltrated by supernatural and cosmic forces. Even aliens and robots began to appear, escalating the danger. Some called these sites "trolls" and "conspiracy theorists," but it didn't bother Jason at all. Geniuses were often misunderstood in their own time.

To his delight, cooler heads prevailed, and these creatures were not given the benefit of full humanity. Citizenships were not guaranteed, nor were jobs, certain luxuries, and other benefits. Other countries took it farther, letting some of these creatures be hunted, jailed, or eaten as delicacies. His parents were saddened and spoke out against his. His own father, a simple pizzeria owner, declined to turn away monsters and offered them food whenever they came through his door. It was after that Jason packed his bags and moved out.

He didn't have to go far to find his people. Not long after the Humanity-First Ruling, private companies sprang up offering a wide variety of services for anyone who called. Criminal monsters were exterminated while other supernatural and unexplainable events were taken care of for a fee. These services may not have been considered fully legal everywhere, but a law condemning them had yet to be passed.

Jason joined his local chapter of Humanity's Finest, an international organization dedicated to standing on the front lines against the monsters. They provided consultation to governments and businesses, worked in security and extermination, and waged full-scale battles every day wherever they were needed. He quickly signed onto his chosen assignment and was sent to training, where he passed with flying colors.

Now, all that was left was to choose a specialty. He could sign on to hunt roaming zombies and patrol cities the wilderness for monsters. He could join an exploration team that would look into secret societies, dimensional anomalies, and interstellar travel. He could even get a boring office job, working with the group's legal department, financial records, or administrative assistance.

Who does Jason sign up with?
