Background: Jason grew up in the remote Canadian wilderness. He was used to long distances between neighbors, plane drops for food and supplies, and being self-reliant. His hobbies were what would be considered extreme sports in other parts of the world, but were just the way of life for him. The nearest "town" was about 20 miles away with no roads connecting where he lived to there. So Jason grew tired of waiting on the planes to make trips when they felt like it, and he started running to the village and back. Of course he took all day to run there and had to spend the night the first few times, but he found running relaxing and quickly worked his time down to about 3 hours of relatively flat, but still heavily wooded trail running.
He had to do distance learning, but went into town 2-3 times a week for social events. One of the options in town was an old thai martial arts studio. With his endurance and natural strength training, Jason took to it quite easily and made steady progress. Then one day, just after arriving in town, he heard there was an emergency up toward where he lived and a helicopter had been dispatched about an hour ago. He turned around and took off to get back and see what was going on. He kept pushing for more and more speed, to make it back in time to help. Suddenly his powers erupted and he was running faster than he ever had. He made it back to his house in a matter of minutes, but with the long delay, it was already too late. Some kind of propane tank accident had caught his house and the surrounding woods on fire. The helicopter was able to dump water on the fire and get it out, but his family had been unable to escape. Jason was still young at 17, but didn't have any other family nearby. Master Nguyen took him in and he finished his last year of high school in the town.
With his newly erupted powers, Jason learned to fight like never before, run like no else could, and eventually bend space itself. He stayed pretty local for several years, not fully utilizing his warping ability, as running fast could get him where he wanted and he more or less understood it. Then he headed to Winnipeg for university and even without any blood family back home, he found himself missing the place. Next thing he knew there was a portal to the front of the community center where he had learned martial arts next to him. Word spread pretty quickly about him and he was approached by Project Utopia. They want him to join a new Canadian version of Project Tomorrow, he hasn't really thought of himself as a hero, but he has a strong desire to make sure others don't end up losing their loved ones like he did.
