Mason Tasker

Mason Tasker is the [2iC] Deputy Head Prefect of the Prefects at Thirlcrest Academy, and is played by Marcmb365.
==Appearance==
In contrast to his other peers, Mason retains a slightly smaller build, which accounts for his agility. He has a brown, messy middle-parted hair, and frequently appears in the usual Prefect uniform — a short-sleeved Prefect sweater over an untucked dress shirt, alongside a pair of grey slacks and black dress shoes. He likes to keep the top button undone, albeit it is frequently sported fixed up and in conjunction with a necktie around Faculty. Mason also sometimes opts to wear the blue Prefect blazer. 
==Characteristics==
As of recent developments, his sense of justice has severely downgraded, and his attention is generally shifted more towards general rule enforcement. He still retains a level of determination, albeit towards something different nowadays. Whenever he's interacting with another student who he deems below him, he keeps an awfully laconic demeanor and a strict conciseness in his words — he is generally uptight and not one for banter. 
He can sometimes be a bit greedy or too lenient when it comes to other students, as during confrontation, sometimes he will let a perpetrator free if they fulfill to a condition of his. Not like during his time as a Captain, halfway of the time he is conducting himself towards ill intent. 
He still remains renowned particularly for his persistence when it comes to rule enforcement, previously being one of the top Captains within the programme. Though, by this point, his notably so-called "sharp eye" has been dulled after recent developments. He has a bigger tendency to slack off in comparison to before, and those who have noticed would realize that he is slowly losing his determination. 
Apart from Lucius, during his time as a Captain, Mason had also been gifted his own personal paddle by Luke after completing a certain task of his. He is very discreet with its usage, and acknowledges its versatility -- when he does use it, he uses it to the fullest. Only he and Lucius throughout the list of Captains have been given a paddle so far.
Albeit often choosing to go the passive route, and not often seen too much in altercations, Mason is very confident in his combative abilities and his physical capabilities, and is one of the most versatile amongst the Prefects within the programme. Spending almost his lifetime as a volunteer for the programme, Mason excels the most at grappling and restraints with an experienced, trained ironclad grip that isn't exactly something to walk past by. His style of fighting takes influence from his own observation of the way Peacekeepers and Honor Students fight. His durability and his resourcefulness in combat is shown when he was able to rival the 2iC of Peacekeepers and hold his own against a couple of other HRs from the aforementioned in a street brawl where he was forced to fend for himself against the group. He had bested another Captain from within the programme, in a no-rules bare-knuckle bout.

==Relationships==
=== Brooke Tasker ===
Siblings | Disdain
The two were previously an inseparable pair of siblings with a warm, happy bond that was then shattered into a hopelessly irremediable situation after being forced into a dilemma between the programme and his sibling. Though it may have seemed irrational and selfish, and irrefutably incorrect, the best choice for Mason was the former, likewise opting to have chosen just that.
After several worthless efforts to rebuild their bond back to what it was before, Mason had quit; seeing absolutely no improvements between the two. An even bigger, deep-seated disdain grows for his sibling when her full priority and care is once more allocated towards a different student, though he shares no distaste for the latter — only towards his sibling.
Whenever interacting with her, Mason keeps a strict sense of levelheadedness and an awfully laconic demeanor — not like before. He cannot be bothered to tend to her, and no longer does he feel a connection as a sibling towards her, frequently only interacting with her when it is in his convenience or benefit.
===Luke Powers===
Higher-Up | Respected
Mason is not very well close with his colleagues, and is often kept to himself. So much so he could be considered an "introvert" at times, but he isn't one, as he can be very open. A person whom he actively respects to a whole other degree is Luke Powers, then deputy head prefect, now Head Boy, and this is obvious. At times, he is even ready to go past his morals and principles as he bears an enduring loyalty and huge respect for Luke, sometimes posing as an errand boy for him. Mason looks up to him.
=== Mike Sangong-Jeong-Tongbang'wu ===
Colleague | Respected
Though initially giving off a rather eccentric impression to Mason, he still found him as one of the more laid-back Prefects, even going on to earn "Chillfect" as an alias for himself from time to time. The two didn't interact as much prior to Mason's promotion to Prefect, but after his promotion, the two have also worked together to take care of any loose ends within the programme—an example being the likes of Fordson Anderson, a former hall monitor—whom had caused issues for the clique.
=== Elena Liu ===
Colleague | Respected
Elena is one of the Prefects that Mason isn't very familiar with, and he has only really interacted with her a countable few times. Albeit distant, Mason still respects Elena, who had given him a brief lesson on positive reinforcement towards other delinquents before his promotion to Captain. Up to this day, Mason still keeps in mind and makes use of what he had learned throughout that brief, simple lesson. Undoubtedly, it had helped him in a number of situations.
===Vincent Kuhn===
Acquaintance | Distant
Mason has encountered Vincent Kuhn a few times here and there, most prominently when a deal between the Times and the Prefectorial Programme was set up, and those under the latter were tasked with investigating any further raids on the Times office, basically posing as protection. Mason does not know him much beyond being the "head" of the Thirlcrest Times, and only really views him an acquaintance through certain means.
=== Lucius Victors ===
Colleague | Friend
Even prior to enrolling into the Prefect programme, Lucius was already someone that Mason took respect in for a long time, incredibly observant of his methods and his procedures. All of his observations came into play when he was finally able to join the programme, taking into account what he'd learned throughout his time. The two were great colleagues especially upon Mason's ascension to a Captain, practically having Lucius as a guide, and even a mentor. The two handled tasks together really well, and practically acted as a pair of figureheads together to the round of hall monitors.
Upon his promotion to Prefect, nothing changed between the two — in fact, Lucius became a motivator for his promotion, often lending him advice and giving him stories of his past that he would find to be motivating. The two handled tasks fairly well, and also ensured the upkeep of Hall Monitors & alike as a whole, occasionally holding training and events to condition the hall monitors. When Lucius finally ascended to becoming a Prefect, Mason was one of the biggest supporters and advocators for the change. Nothing changed between the two even past both of their promotions — the duo went on to handle tasks together unaffected, making for a duo to be reckoned with to those who plan to oppose them.
