Infected: Jason

Still haven't thought of any immediate progression to the story, but I do know where I want to go. I just have to figure out how to get there. Anyway, I have nothing "new" to post, so I'll post what I have so far for the character of Jason :)

#GJYU1590
Jason/Ghost/Surge

18. Male. Foster child.

Abandoned as a baby. Found in a dumpster, left at local police station. Put into foster care. Hardest to care for, but worth the most. Violent, nonchalant, suicidal. Constant fights at school. Attempted suicides foiled by constant watch by foster parents. Has really nothing to live for. Admits to never asking to be alive. Met Sarah at school one day, while running away from a securty guard. Ditched with her. She is the only person that he is affectionate towards. Does no harm to himself during the time he had her. Introduced to her mother and inadvertently her father. Foster care moves him away. Suicide attempts resume. Abducted from an intentional car crash. Only survivor. Only target. Sarah is his only fond memory, the only positive he found in life.

Ghost is a ghost. He is transparent and can pass through physicl objects. He cannot be touched, but he cannot touch anything himself. He is unable to die, and therefore left with nothing else to do but wander.

Surge emerges from Jason's desire to be able and willing to do something. His right arm is composed of electricity, which he generates constantly. He learns how to control the amount of electricity he discharges eventually. He can also absorb electricity, but there is a limit to how much electricity he can keep in his body at one time. By discharging small jolts of electricty and then quickly absorbing them, he can have a small sense of touch.

I like how you came up with the small sense of touch thing. Recently, I've been in a writers block, not because I can't think of anything to write, it's just that my mind is too exhausted to do it. I still need to start on chapter 7 on my story, and I just cant seem to pick up where I left off.

About Surge...

How far up does the electricity of his arm go? Is it to his elbow, to his shoulder, or what? It'd be nice to know.
Also, what does it look like? Does it just look like an arm that glows yellow, white, blue...what color? Or does it have little ripples of electricity running through it and flashing around?
