Mason

## Appearance

Tall, fairly muscular. White/Silver hair despite being the same age as Vince and co, styled in short spikes, also has very long and pronounced sideburns. He has a patch of stubble growing on his chin.

## Personality

A man of **very** little words, more often than not he'll let his powers do the talking. Makes Vince look like the life of the party. Despite his cravings to grow more powerful and defeat the dhampirs in a duel, he seems to hold fair play at a high standard. His methods of getting their attention, though, are usually less than civil in contrast.

## History

His father was a man of many heists, but was often thwarted by a monstrous man in a cloak.

One day, as a young boy, Mason was brought alongside his father during a heist. He was there in order to help in ambushing the man when he'd come to put a stop to them. Mason was instructed to stand behind a corner of a building, and once cued, would use his developing abilities to crumble the pavement beneath the clocked man's feet, allowing his father to catch him off-guard.

Everything was going as planned, a duel initiated between the man and his father as per usual. As he was told, Mason stomped his foot and sent out a crack that made the ground crumble beneath the shadowy swordsman's feet, causing him to trip onto the ground.

Mason looked in awe as his father was about to strike the man, but heard a frustrated yell and frantic running from the opposite side of the building. It happened so quickly, a small figure lunged into the air towards his father, their eyes glowing an icy blue. The next thing Mason remembers was his father's eyes widening as the figure lodged a blast of icicles through his body, and watched as blood trickled down them into a puddle where the other man fell.

Mason watched the cloaked man sprung up, trembling, while his father collapsed onto the pavement.

Everything was silent, the air was heavy. Only a glimmer of light from the moon shined over the two figures, Mason catching a glimpse of their clothes drenched in red. The man glanced over his shoulder, settling his glowing orange eye on where Mason was hiding. With nothing else to do, Mason ran away.

It wasn't fair.

It wasn't fair, and he'd make sure that they would pay.

He promised himself to grow stronger and take them down, one by one. No foul play, no one waiting in the wings. He'd fight them as many times as he needed until the day their duel would be their last.

## Relations

### James

Tolerates enough to team together occasionally, throwing a rock at him as a warning to knock it off or ignoring his hijinks entirely. He's not the one with the power, anyways. All he's good for is luring the Ambrose family and their associates.

## Abilities and Weapons

* Boulder Ball - Focusing energy around his clenched fist, Mason can form a boulder in front of him to telekinetically throw. Same as usual, the more he charges the bigger it gets and the faster and more forceful he can throw it afterwards
* Stone Armor - Petrifies his body into a stone statue to protect himself, can also turn specific parts into stone where needed.
* Stone Appendages - Rock creeps along Mason's limbs (typically his arms) as his hands become encased with rock and "replaces" them with a tool or shape of his choice (mallets, skewers, hooks, blades)
* Stone Pillar - Using a small, quick uppercutting motion, Mason can cause a stone pillar to rise from the ground. This is usually used to catch opponents off-guard and make them helplessly airborne.
* Stone Splinter - A different use for Stone Pillar, Mason calls upon a smaller pillar in front of him, and he strikes the blunt top with all of his might. This drives the pillar back into the ground, causing the area around it to upset and crumble beneath everyone.
