Character Bio: Jason Ward

Kinda stuck on the rest of the script, so I thought that coming up with a better character bio of Jason would help come up with the rest of the opening speech. It's given me a bit more to think about on why Jason would want to kill his victims. I've thought that maybe there's something that Jason sees in every victim that he doesn't like, or that part of him sees something that reminds him of his rough(ish) upbringing and therefore tries to get rid of it i.e. the person. I think that quite a complex motive would make the story more interesting for people as they would want to see the film again to understand Jason's motives and what is wrong with him.

Jason is a serial killer who is only roughly 20 years old. He has a job as a an financier at a local communications company. He doesn't have much of a social life, but tries to get out to pubs or restaurants to meet people. His hobby's include painting, photography and hiking. Not much is known about him by anyone else, as he tends to keep to himself except when he is interested in someone else and they ask about his life. He hasn't spoken to his mother in a few years, and his father died when Jason was just four years old. Jason was clever from quite a young age, but never seemed to do anything besides work, he gets his relaxation and peace from doing mental exercises or working on something a little less complicated than his normal work. Jason has never been close to anyone in a relationship sense, mostly because he would never be sociable with anyone outside of his work, and was never interested in girls as a young boy. At university no-one ever mentioned him in conversation as he always stayed in his flat, and never left other than to go to classes or to get food. He's always had a job since he got out of high-school. After he left high-school, he took a gap year, then applied for a economics course at Oxford university, Southampton and Manchester. He was turned down at Oxford, but the other two accepted him, he ended up going to Southampton and doing a Post-Graduate course at Manchester university. After this he went back to where he was working before University.

Jason has a type of Multi Personality Disorder where one personality is thinking that the person should be killed because they have something that has reminded him on his younger life. This side of his mind cannot take full control of Jason's actions, so he is left with emotion that he doesn't know why he has it. He ends up killing people, mainly without knowing, yet still accepts that he has done it.
