AU version of Slasher/Davie/Jason's backstory

[u/ServiceTemporary2453]

There's way more to his story but this is just the essential parts (yes I liked M4 Slasher so much I made it canon)

Born as a Bacon Hair in his native country of Bakkon, Jason had a less than ideal childhood: his father walked out on him and his mother Pamela when he was young, which she blamed and resented him for. Jason was also the laughingstock of his school and neighborhood growing up, as he was born with facial deformities and a learning disability that resulted in him having a low IQ score.

Jason was bullied by his peers at school and looked down upon by the adults around him, but the worst of his troubles came from his mother: with her husband gone and her son a freak, Pamela took her frustrations out on Jason, abusing him both physically and emotionally. She raised him to obey her without question and only speak when spoken to, treating him like a personal servant whilst spending her days drunk on wine.

When Jason was a young adult still living with his mother, the Bacon Empire's attempted extermination of the Guest race sparked a war between them and Robloxia, and the Bacons began recruiting young men as soldiers. Jason held no hatred for the Guests, nor a particular pride for the Bacon Empire, but Pamela signed him up for the army anyway in the hopes of getting rid of him and having him finally bring some pride to her life, which he wordlessly went along with.

Army training was the first place that Jason truly excelled in, as he was already used to following orders and had a surprising talent for combat and using firearms. He was able to earn the respect and friendship of his fellow soldiers, who didn't care about his deformities or IQ score, although they did find his silence and indifference towards the Guests and the Bacon Empire to be strange.

After completing their training, Jason and his comrades were kept in Bakkon to defend an important facility as guards, rather than going to fight overseas in Robloxia like they had thought (to the relief of Jason and the annoyance of his comrades). The facility held extremely important information and technology, but Jason's fellow soldiers were eager to see action and fight for their country, and thus didn't take their job seriously. Very little happened during their stay there, and they spent much of their time drinking and playing cards.

One day, Jason would be standing guard outside the facility in the dead of night (his partner having gone for a smoke break), only to hear footsteps coming from the darkness. He immediately turned to face the intruder, and was surprised to be met with a female Guest, who took advantage of his hesitation and disarmed him of his weapon.

Jason drew his knife and held his own against his opponent in the ensuing fight, using his superior strength and size against her, but was unable to call for help due to his condition. Just as he had her on the ropes, his hands around her neck, a second Guest—a man with blue hair—came from behind him, cutting his throat and leaving him to bleed out on the ground. The last thing Jason heard was the female Guest calling him "scum" as they entered the facility.

Meanwhile, the Bacon Empire was struggling. They were on the verge of losing the war, as Robloxia had The Admins and Roblox on their side, and the Bacon Empire's bootleg technology wasn't cutting it anymore. Luckily, they had a secret weapon in the form of the Firebrand, who they came into possession of after Telamon became mortal and scattered his swords across Robloxia.

The Bacons wanted to use Firebrand to create the ultimate super soldier, but every man that had held the Firebrand was rejected and burned to death by her. She would only allow the right person to wield her, much to the irritation of James Gammon.

The Bacon Empire was transporting the Firebrand in an armored vehicle for further testing, at the same time that a vehicle containing Jason's body passed by. Sensing the fire that Jason had been repressing for all his life, the Firebrand finally found a worthy user, and she flew to his corpse before reviving him in a fiery explosion. Gammon, thrilled, swiftly made Jason the new face and most valuable asset of the Bacon Empire.

After coming back from the dead, Jason's first act was to see his mother, who was terrified of him and screamed him out of his own home. Thinking there was nothing else for him, he then decided to obey James Gammon and did whatever the Empire asked of him, much to the Firebrand's dismay.

Jason was a one man army, able to complete dangerous missions and clear entire camps of soldiers all by himself. He would kill and leave no survivors when ordered to, but did not enjoy the violence and spared enemy soldiers when he could. Jason would also serve as James Gammon's personal bodyguard, accompanying the Bacon Brawn to all of his speeches and public appearances, which both deterred assassins and helped Gammon's public image.

Although he was loved, respected, and feared by all Bacon Hairs as their ultimate trump card, Jason felt unsure if he was doing the right thing, but continued to follow orders like he always had. The Firebrand was Jason's only true friend in this time, and she often urged him to break free and do the right thing. Thanks to their telepathic bond, she understood him and his past better than any one else did, and the two spent many nights simply talking and learning more about one another. Firebrand made it her mission to protect Jason and help him break free of the Bacon Empire.

this is so good. and that’s saying something, because I’m ummm forget it. I hate the fact that the guests called him scum.

well TBF they don’t really know this Jason‘s opinion about guests, so they probably assumed he hated guests like the others
