Brief Description:
Jason Takayama, known as 'Croc' by most of his friends due to being half crocodile, was born in Mohegan Lake, New York, and is the only son of the deceased Ryker and Cecilia Takayama. His parents, as well as his younger sister, died in a car accident when he was only 7 years old, and he was then taken in by his uncle Cedric, his mothers' brother. At the time his only friend was Destiny Nishimura who he met 2 years before, and she was there for him the whole time after his parents died.
Despite the loss of his parents, he managed. In school he was usually the type to keep away from the crowds but even he made some friends. However he was a bit of a scrapper for most of his childhood and early teens which got him into a lot of trouble, but eventually he was out of that stage of his life and matured accordingly, mostly thanks to Des. However, he first learned of his inability to swim at the age of 11 when a group of preteens he didn't get along with decided it was funny to jump him and throw him into the lake. A passing teacher saw Jason struggling in the water and managed to pull him out before he drowned and the students were suspended for over a month, and Jason never heard from them again, nor did he ever set foot near large bodies of water again.
It wasn't until he was 16 he began to find he had feelings for his childhood friend and was nervous to tell her about it, but eventually he admitted how he felt to Des. She apparently felt the same way about him, and the two started dating soon after. Even though at first it felt slightly awkward the two enjoyed each others company and fell totally in love, and made their relationship more permanent.
Upon graduating, Jason borrowed some money from Cedric and moved out of his uncle's house into his own place. A year later, Des moved in with him and the two worked together to support each other. It wasn't easy, as the economy was bad and the both of them had trouble finding steady, permanent jobs, but with help from their friends, they managed to make ends meet; they didn't live comfortably but they got by.
At the age of 23, Jason was talking with his friend Volcan, and he gave him an idea; "Security is a good career choice and it's easy to get a job in that field, since the unemployment rate won't follow you there. The money isn't too bad either, I hear. Especially for bouncers. And with your size and musculature I think it'd be a cinch for you to get a job as a bouncer."
Jason was intrigued, and he took up Basic Security training, received both his Individual License and his ProTect certificate, and landed a job as a bouncer for a massive night club, 'Casa Del' Gato', within a few weeks. Des also landed a job there as a cocktail waitress so the two could share one vehicle and always go home and to work together since everyone worked the same shift. This helped them save money and pay back everyone they'd borrowed cash from and they still work there to this day.
Although he is oblivious to the fact that his employer, Russel Agostina, is actually a gang boss and suspects nothing, he's never noticed any shady business to make him think his boss anything other than a legitimate businessman, but he has noticed that police seem to watch the club fairly often as he's usually stationed outside. He always just passed it off as them having nothing else to do and simply waiting for someone to stumble out of the club high as a kite or drunk and attempting to drive home.
Jason is still as stern as ever but he's living much more happily these days, even the memory of his lost parents doesn't even bother him anymore.
