Jason Murray is a character in the Scream Roleplay Universe, appearing in the first volume of The Story so Far and in Big Trouble in Little Lakewood: 1988.
An accountant with a soft-spoken manner and a sizable investment portfolio, Jason gets by through his positive (some might say, overtly submissive) attitude. The fact that he married into one of Lakewood’s most powerful families helps matters.
Not a forceful personality, Jason tends to let his wife, Pamela, call the shots in their relationship, and in parenting their daughter Rachel. But when Rachel’s world is changed by the release of a humiliating video, Jason attempts to mitigate Pamela’s apocalyptic reaction with, to put it mildly, unintended effects.

History
Jason was born on June 5, 1972, in Lakewood. The Murrays were a traditional Irish-Catholic family.
Blindsided
On October 18th, 2015, a video was uploaded to YouTube depicting Rachel making out with another girl. The video went locally viral, attracting reams of unwanted negative attention. Jason and Pamela were thrown by the video, and the realization of their daughter’s sexuality.
As had become an unfortunate trend in their marriage, things quickly became a blame game between Jason and Pam: Pamela accusing Jason of not being a more present father, and even alluding he was a poor model of masculinity for her.1
Origins and Development
Jason was first attested in the 2015 Season 1 AU, as Rachel’s unnamed and ineffectual father, presumably paling in comparison to his more formidable…but also off-page…wife. Like Pamela, Jason made his SRU debut in the later chapters of Volume I of The Story so Far, after Rachel’s death.
Jason went on to have a more significant role in Lakewood’s past, featuring in Big Trouble in Little Lakewood, where he is encountered first through a primary source from his youth, and then in person by Jamie Teague when she travels to 1988 and meets his teenage self.
