Personality:

Generally reserved and composed in most situations however does suffer from his “Dragon Pride” from time to time due to undergoing the ‘Indoctrination’ at the hands of his captors. Whilst like this becomes enraged and uncontrollable, becoming narcissistic and destructive, nigh on uncontrollable.

When he has a target or goal however he becomes focused on it and will not rest until it’s completed, not allowing anything to get in his way.

He is loyal to those he considers his allies and friends, being protective of them. Those who have betrayed that trust have suffered the consequences.

Whilst intelligent prefers the “front door” approach to problems, tackling them head on through force, be that of strength or will. He is however receptive to other ideas and will listen to his team if they have a better solution to the issue at hand.

History:

Born on the last living planet in his home dimension Jared was raised like many of his people to be an explorer. The universe he lived in was one of the oldest and most ancient and had all but died away through the endless eons, however due to advanced technology his people managed to keep one world alive. They used to be a warlike race controlling a vast intergalactic empire but near the end became more sedate and peaceful having lived through the entire life of a universe; they then wished to seek peaceful co-existence and knowledge rather than forced subservience and power.

Through this they discovered an innate ability within them to ‘Travel between the worlds’ as they called it. Living in a universe which was now all but dead they used this ability to explore other dimensions and time. Always keeping themselves hidden away and merely observing, never interfering. Cataloguing the worlds, galaxies and universes that existed beyond the veil of time and space.

Whilst he was still young Jared grew intrigued by what were the ‘Restricted’ worlds, places they had been told they could never go to due to dangers untold to them. Curious and not afraid Snow decided to explore one of these worlds, bypassing the genetic lock put in force by the ruling body he managed to open a rift to one of these ‘Restricted’ worlds.

In doing so he exposed himself to much more risk than he could ever have imagined, appearing in a world that had somehow become aware of his people and who they were. They managed to quickly capture him not too long after he appeared and knocked him out to take back to a hidden facility.

Aware of his powers and having ambitions of their own to use that power they experimented on Jared, becoming heavily cybernetically augmented, even going to far as to replace his entire left hand with a synthetic arm, similar to his old arm but capable of transforming into a deadly plasma cannon. All of this powered by an experimental fusion power core which had replaced his heart.

Whilst imprisoned for an undescriptive period of time Jared finally became aware of what was going on, and whilst he knew what was happening to him and regretted what he did he knew he had to bide his time, to allow them to finish the work if he ever wanted a chance to escape.

After a period of time through it finally happened….they congratulated one another and clapped, singing one another’s praises. That is when he decided to strike back.

Been fully equipped and thinking they had managed to fully indoctrinate him he went along with them to be shown off…they had not however learned of his ability to size shift, and Jared had learned that due to the armour being linked directly into his nervous system he was capable of shifting that along with him.

He destroyed the entire facility that night and all those within. Of a total staff of over 2000 only 5 managed to escape.

In the aftermath Jared lamented what he had done and become. He was no longer what he was and now more a weapon than a living creature. He considered killing himself but wondered if that was even possible now or locking himself away in a dimension where no one would ever find him.

Through this grief though he came to realise if people in this dimension were doing this then what was to stop them trying again? He knew some escaped and would they go off with what they learned and try again? They had ambitions to not only conquer the home dimension they lived in but all others too.

Deciding he would not let that happen, he would hunt them down, he would find out what they had planned and why and stop it. He would turn this curse into a blessing.

Returning to his own dimension his people saw him they were shocked by what had happened. Brought up in front of the ruling council they did not approve of his plan and that the policy of non-interference would stand, they would however allow Jared to return to living in his home whilst they research a way to reverse what was done to him.

Not content with this Jared decided that if his people would not help then he would do it himself. Along with his childhood friend and master Engineer Drake, who wanted to come along to learn more about what happened to his friend and help keep him repaired / serviced / alive, they stole the state of the art dimension ship Drake had been building and renamed it “Tempus Finis”. They took off into the vast ocean of time and space on a mission to find those responsible and make them pay.
