Mason Miles

== Overview ==
Mason Miles is a character role-played by YourLocalNimrod. Mason Miles was born January 10, 1997. Mason grew up in the slums of Chicago mainly with his mother, as his father left when Mason was very young. Mason’s childhood home was full of domestic violence, where Mason’s mother would beat his father, and all her interests following. Mason’s mother, Kari, would abuse drugs & Mason would essentially take care of himself. Mason would go through school without friends, as everyone looked at him as the weird loner. Mason would often explode in anger and would jump from school to school until he dropped out. He would leave his mother’s house and lose all contact with her. He would find himself spending a lot of time at trap houses in the area, although he wouldn’t buy, sell, or take the drugs that surrounded him. Mason hated his mom & her drugs, which reminded him of the environment he was located in now, but these people wouldn’t glare at him the way the kids would in school, so he started to feel welcome. Mason would soon make friends with a man by the name of Jesse, who would later ask him to come with him out of state to help with a job. Little did Mason know that Jesse had all but friendly intentions. 
Jesse would use his drug money to fly himself and the poorly dressed Mason to Colorado. Mason stood out like a sore thumb. He looked like he had been homeless for months and just walked onto the plane. Jesse’s friendly exterior would melt away as soon as the plane landed. Mason’s childlike wonder would distract him from Jesse’s hostility. Perplexed by the beauty around him, Mason failed to notice that Jesse started speaking to Mason in the past tense. Jesse would park his rental car, and abandon Mason at a gas station. Mason waited patiently for an hour before he would abandon the car too. Mason wandered Los Santos aimlessly taking part in petty crimes to get by. It was in a robbery gone wrong where Mason would shoot an EMS, causing two high-level crime organizations to track him down and abduct him. They brought Mason to a small shack, where they would interrogate him and set the building on fire. Mason would survive and was now even more mentally lost than before. Mason now spoke of a voice in his head that he claims was there since he was young. 
This voice dubbed ‘Ray’ would be Mason’s only friend moving forward. Mason’s social awkwardness & lack of ability to pick up on social cues would keep it this way. Mason’s family would eventually gain contact with him via his uncle who stumbled across him in the streets. Mason, covered in burns & a stuttering mess, would be sent back to his mom’s house. Ray would make his first impact on Mason’s life in Chicago. Kari Miles was sleeping when Mason would hear the hellish whispers in his ear from Ray. Mason would fight these urges of anger put on him, but would eventually succumb when Ray reminded him of all the evil his mother put him through. Mason barricaded his mother’s bedroom shut with the couch, which took him about an hour to move. Mason then started a fire in the home using the oven & a towel. Mason watched as the double-wide white trailer burnt away. Hearing his mother’s pleas inside. It wasn’t until the screams stopped and sirens echoed through the night that Mason realized what he had done. Confessing everything to the local law enforcement, Mason would be admitted into a mental hospital for his issues. Without any improvement, Mason would be sent to Los Santos to meet who Doctor Morrison referred to as Mason’s “last saving grace.” Ironically, Mason’s new doctor’s name was Dr. Grace, which Mason found hilarious. The treatment wouldn’t help Mason, as every time he spoke about his issues, anger would consume him, and he would often start to destroy the office before being escorted out. After a few short months, Mason’s doctor would shadily cancel his appointments. Failing to finish his therapy, Mason would spend some time in jail for his crime against his mother. Mason would resume his habit of sleeping in random places, as he found love for a spot at a tram station in Los Santos. Mason now wanders Los Santos looking for friends, listening to Ray’s voice.
== Losing Ray ==
Mason would agree to meet Eva Ghost & Jason Spencer at the garbage disposal as he started to realize that Ray's voice was only making him do bad things. Eva & Jason would arrive and handcuff Mason, preparing to take a chance that could kill him. Mason was shot in the head while cuffed and brought to Pillbox where he would stay in the ICU for several weeks. Mason would later wake up, unable to hear Ray's voice.
== Burger Shot Arrest ==
After Mason had expressed interest in working for Bradley Evans at Burger Shot, Mason ran into Jordan Steele and was tricked into a plan for Jordan's expense. Jordan told Mason that he could really impress Bradley & join Bradley security if he waved a gun at the cops that were eating inside and got them to leave Burger Shot. He emphasized that Mason could not tell Bradley because he needed to remain unlinked from the crime. He sold Mason a pistol for $800. As he was telling this to Mason, Jordan's associate, Apples ran up and joined the conversation. Jordan tried to explain the plan to get Mason arrested, and knock Bradley Security off the map, but Apples nearly derailed the plan by making Mason cry and flee into an alley by calling him an ugly freak. Jordan erupted in anger and told Apples to get Mason back so that the plan could move forward. Apples found Mason crying before claiming that he thought Mason was cute & would like to go on a date with Mason after. Mason was delighted and returned to Jordan detailing the new arrangement. Mason would then tell Jordan to let him scout it out and called him an "amateur." Mason then ran into Burger Shot screaming "Get out of here! We got this shit locked down, Bradley & I!"
As Bradley was at the table with the officers, he also was escorted outside Burger Shot even though Mason said he could put his hands down. A fourth officer entered the parking lot and ordered Mason to drop the gun, as he did Jordan Steele stabbed him with a knife, claiming to save the day. Mason was detained and charged with three counts of unlawful imprisonment & nothing ever came back to Jordan Steele.
