Mentality
Calm and measured, if a bit antisocial. He generally doesn't waste words on those he thinks aren't worth his time. This usually means enemies, but can occasionally include his allies. He's not short-tempered though, and can be very patient when (he thinks) the situation calls for it. He can also be quite charming when he's 'off the job'.
Jason is inherently selfish, almost everything he does being calculated for his own benefit. He is intelligent enough to know that being a hero has way more benefits than a villain, but he remains an independent because he doesn't like the bureaucracy and oversight that comes with being part of a team.
Power
Stormvogel creates crystal constructs originating from his shoulderblades, forming into wings and armour.
He controls these crystals telekinetically, enhancing his movement, and when the mass gets large enough he can use it to fly. This flight has electrostatic properties, sparks will fly to nearby metal.
The crystals are tough enough to stop a bullet, though they do need to regrow after taking hits like that. They don't have to grow directly out of his back, if there is clothing in the way it will simply appear on the other side of it.
The wings can generate blasts of multicoloured lightning, which aren't as strong as natural lightning, but much more fun: anything inorganic struck by them will be made weightless and suspended in the air. The height at which they float is slightly variable, bigger objects will float higher, but it's always around a meter. The duration depends on both the weight of the object and the power of the bolt that hit it.
Backstory
When he was around 16 years old, on a ski trip with his family, something higher up the mountain caused an avalanche. As the wall of snow rushed towards them Jason Triggered, and used his newfound flight to escape. His parents weren't so lucky.
He had a short stint as a villain, to provide for himself, but when he got caught he decided to take the deal and join the Wards. He never really got along well with the others, and was happy to leave as soon as his probation was over.
He traveled for a while, eventually establishing himself as an independent hero for hire.
