Angelina Rose Mason

**Angelina Rose Mason** is a character role-played by Morrigan\_Eve.

## General Description and Summarized Storyline

Angelina "Angie" Rose Mason is currently employed at Betta Life as a sales staff employee under the expert yet sometimes comical guidance of Noah Drake and Timothy Snapple Jr. She also has experience working at City Hall as an assistant to Judge Stanton. Prior to that, she did freelance work with Weazel News, mostly under the guidance of Ursula Leichenberg.

Those that she has a close relationship with know she can sometimes have overwhelming anxiety due to PTSD. She was prescribed Xanax officially by Pillbox doctors and takes her pills a little too frequently, especially at her jobs where she must remain diligent and patient. She has been successful in keeping calm, at least at work.

She has been hospitalized twice so far for panic attacks but has received help, especially from her good friend Doctor Blake and a mind opening conversation with psychologist Charlotte Moore that she had only just met once. One of the very first people to help her substantially since the move to the city was Doctor Noah Drake. After taking an hour to go over her health issues and prescribe Xanax, he had gave her his number. She would rarely attempt to reach out, but never received an answer anyway. She figured he was just busy. In a couple weeks that would really change..

Since then she had several major anxiety issues including when she was attacked by a serial killer, was falsely accused of committing robberies with a stolen car, and more recently being shot repeatedly point blank in the head, while "hanging out" with the news crew which has caused her memory loss and dizzy/nausea spells. Long story short, she found herself attacked while Ursula was asked by the criminals to tape it, execution style, with a fully automatic weapon. Angie was perplexed, feeling that the situation was not taken seriously enough prior to entering the situation, and she feels this has complicated their friendship to a degree. She was eventually, however, able to forgive Ursula for this and let her know and felt she could be patient for her friend to come around and start talking to her again. However, things changed for the worse when she finally noticed on the new LSBN app on the phone an article that featured her attempted execution filled with her photo and a link to an explicit video of her head being near blown away that she assumes Ursula had uploaded for the entire city to see. It was an article about attacking the news, when Angie wasn't even actively participating in news work. While she watched it repeatedly in horror, she felt betrayed and massively confused by someone she still thought was a friend, having a near emotional breakdown. A few close friends have been there for her during these times and have offered some varied advice. She was, however, told from another reporter when asking about video consent, that there was no such thing in Los Santos and that there was nothing she could do about it, much to her horror. She hopes to get some clarity from her boyfriend if this is true or not. She would prefer to not have to live with the horror of knowing people can watch her brains nearly blown out on and app and wants to believe that consideration is given to the victims health or welfare. She can barely touch the home screen of her phone without fear of accidentally opening the app and seeing her own head being blown up over and over. She has a very hard time understanding those without empathy, especially when she feels she misjudged someone, and why they would perhaps not care about hurting someone in this way. However, she STILL cares for her friend underneath her anger and sadness, and has resigned herself to desperately try to refocus herself for now, because as suggested by doctors, in order to do something like this, that person would have to truly not care or value friendship. She is also working on seeing a regular therapist, as her previous doctors have told her they cannot treat her anymore due to a conflict of interest (they are friends now). She still has a hard time believing her friend could be so heartless and hopes that one day, with communication, things will be clear.

Angelina has steadily been gaining friends in the city, from lawful coworkers to criminals alike. For every rule she speaks of, she has most likely broken many of on her own free time, such as drug use, dangerous firearm use, and car theft. She tries to keep both her worlds separate but it seems inevitable that she will get caught one day.

Angie has taken quite a liking to Gill Shultz (One of the top criminal attorneys), and after going on several dates, the two of them are now officially dating. One issue however, is she did find herself struggling with Gill's extremely heavy work schedule and hates to think that she may be an annoyance at times. She does care for him very deeply but is just as scared of doing something to lose him. Although he is extremely busy, he does seem to care quite deeply for her and always makes her feel at ease when they can finally talk.

After the latest hospitalization of hers, she finally found herself in the care of Dr. Noah Drake again. He invited her to go out and talk on his day off and she accepted. The two got along so well that they ended up spending the entire day together, meeting people, driving to vistas, fishing, and eventually being treated by a long helicopter ride driven by him which affected her extremely deeply. She was awed, humbled, and thankful. No one had ever spent that much time with her before. The two became almost inseparable instantly, spending their next free day together all day again, having fun, and talking about a new budding business that seemed perfect for Angie to get into. Angie found herself developing strong feelings rapidly but is a little worried, not sure where this relationship is heading, if anywhere as he gives mixed signals. She had heard he was a "player" so to speak and is slightly suspicious of some things he says. But in all, after her near death experience, he has really helped her find her footing again and is content with things how they are, especially where other friends of hers seemed to failed to care about her entirely. That means the world coming from anyone. Being a psychiatrist, he really understands her and the two make each other laugh almost non stop. No one has ever made her smile and laugh so much. She feels free to be utterly herself around him, quirks and all.

She has been open to Gil about her time with Noah for the most part, and she just doesn't want to hurt him either by being dishonest, even though he has assured her he is not one to be jealous. She treasures her time with Gill and Noah very deeply. She has narrowly avoided death so much now that she realizes she just really wants to live life to the fullest right now. Things are definitely changing fast for her in the short time since she has moved to the city.

Quick Update:

After many days of thought and heartache, among rumors being flown around that upset her even further, Angie finally asked to meet with Gill. After asking for full honesty from him, she suggested to Gill that they remain as only friends as it has become painfully obvious to her and all her friends that he will never be able to be there for her, and his work and his lone time would not allow a real relationship. They had a very painful yet calm conversation for some time. Her heart was broken, but it was already cracked. She truly loved Gill so much and wanted so little in return, but it just wasn't meant to be.

Ursula was able to pick her up from the conversation right before she completely broke down. Angie tried to keep it together, but was an emotional wreck during and after reconnecting a bit with her old friend. Later, while meeting (and nearly fighting) with her friends Dr. Blake and Jackson Camorra, (and running around the city by herself) she found herself regressing into some bad and confusing behavior that she had previously experienced during her time under hospitalizations. She considered very heavily just jumping into the sea and swimming until she couldn't anymore. She still cares for Gill extremely deeply and doesn't know what to do now.

She does believe he cares for her in some way that she doesn't understand. But she feels closure. After spending the rest of the day trying to desperately stop thinking about Gill and reading her many unanswered texts over the past couple weeks, she returned to her apartment as a broken mess, finally succumbing to her emotional pain and finishing her entire bottle of Xanax with a last bottle of whiskey.. while drawing pictures of the ocean on her wall in crayon, grasping her little plush koala bear to her chest, eyes watering with a never-ending flood of tears until she passed out at some point on the floor. Her whereabouts are currently unknown.

## Appearance

Her appearance is thin, around 5"6, and pale, very pale from severe drug abuse and constant hospitalizations. She has large wild eyes and is quite beautiful even in a haunted way. She prefers to wear darker colors, usually not going far from black or dark shades. Her hair is pale and blonde, with long bangs framing her face. She usually wears it either straight down or in a high ponytail. Her eyes are a piercing green. When not at work, her voice and demeanor can be very playful and charismatic.

## Personality

Besides the anxiety induced tension... She does tend to laugh very easily and finds normality quite funny in general.  Sometimes the laughing can linger and be called disturbing by others. This sort of laughing is also a defense mechanism to deal with some of the horrors that she inevitably ended up being witness to. She does tend to laugh or snicker at inappropriate scenarios such as funerals and weddings. If confronted, she will make up an excuse or just say she is bored and leave. Her voice has the potential to change and can be rough yet full of emotion and strength when she feels threatened or backed in a corner. She loves having friends that are interesting and quirky.  She sometimes feels like a crusader for the weak and misunderstood - and will sometimes butt into a situation sometimes when she feels a wrong is committed. She does this because she feels not everyone has the strength to stand up for themselves and sees herself in many victims.  She feels VERY strongly about this, due to her past and upbringing, more explained below. She also has had very few people "stick up for her" in the past and holds friends that have helped her in very high regard. She is bisexual, although she has never had a real relationship prior to moving to the city. She does have a close girlfriend named Elle that she enjoys flirting with currently but just for fun.

Angelina Rose Mason is fiercely independent and willing to speak her mind, but smart enough to "usually" keep her trap shut when appropriate. Lately, especially due to the amount of Xanax she takes, she has found herself being tactless and overly sarcastic more than often. She can have a loud mouth and a "no shits given" attitude, but underneath her tough exterior - she can be quite fragile and extremely caring. She will never reveal this side unless triggered by past events or mentions of any mental illness which has plagued her for quite some time. She loves making people smile and laugh, even if its at her being silly. She is used to people bullshitting her (see backstory) and rarely believes anything given to her at face value unless she fully trusts someone. However, she mostly finds it more useful to just nod and say 'yes sir' rather than be confrontational. Occasionally she will lash out when she is at her limit. She a complex character with a mix of street smarts and feeling like she has to play certain "roles" in life to get what she desires and to stay safe. Perhaps partially due to this idea of "roles", she is also attracted to dressing in disguises and wearing masks. Even taking on other people's personalities is interesting to toy with.

She can be quirky, and has a fascination with oddities such as things paranormal and weird humor. When not at work, she laughs a lot, and has a very peculiar sense of humor. She likes playing little tricks on people and this side of her is only likely to grow, as she becomes more comfortable with her surroundings. There is more detail on this in her backstory.

Her greatest fear of all is going on a path where she may end up committed again by an enemy with power over her. She has also developed a fear of chickens after being haunted by one in city hall, otherwise known as the "Poultrygeist".

## Background

Angelina Rose was born into a criminal family that posed as lawyers as their day jobs in NYC. While very young however, they got into trouble involving both of her grandparents being killed, and so they fled and moved into a beautiful Miami home. Her parents were drug users, dealers, alcoholics, and self absorbed narcissists. They saw their one daughter as a "mistake" and let her know this frequently. She was thought to be "too pretty for her own good" and they would cut her beautiful hair as a child and laugh about it. Sometimes, she would hear them argue about her. "She is YOUR fault we are stuck in this shit town!" "Why don't you put her to work!? She is pretty enough to beg for money". The arguing would go on for hours and Angelina would listen silently as tears rained down her cheeks. They kept her a prisoner in their own home. If she acted up, she was put in a closet. So she learned to really act. To fake smile and say thank you. She learned to be quite charming when she wanted to. She acted thankful when she felt hatred. She smiled widely, when she felt like stabbing her own father and locking him in the basement to beg HER for scraps. She had no real schooling, only the tv they put in her room. She loved watching dramas, horrors, and action movies. She grew resentful, but she grew smart. She eventually knew her parents were leading a double life and made it a point to scour the home to find anything she could use to her advantage. She eventually learned to track her own parents and find where many things were hidden, such as drugs and money. Quiet as a mouse, she would dip into the drugs, experimenting with as much as she could. And every week she would pocket more and more money - keeping what she stole in a stuffed Koala bear.

One evening after a late night coke binge, her parents found her jumping up and down on their Porsche while singing "Jingle Bell Rock" with a Santa hat on while setting off the car alarm. After being screamed at to "GET OFF THIS MOMENT", she felt her feet grabbed from under her, her head hitting the car, and blacked out completely. That was the last time she ever saw her home or parents.

The next time she woke, she found herself in a hospital bed, arms and legs constrained. Her only belonging, ironically being her koala bear perched on the end of her bed with its head cocked, seemingly mocking her newly acquired "broken" invalid status.  She screamed wildly and was terrified out of her mind. A team of nurses came in and stabbed her with a large syringe. She slowly drifted back to sleep while giggling and crying at the same time. The nurses would look at each other with eyebrows raised and shake their heads. After this day, Angelina's teen to young adult life would be spent in and out of various mental institutions, having little to no idea what town she was even in. She was alone.

At 15, she got kicked out of the first hospital mental ward by finding some black trash bags and rubber bands that she fashioned into a full body cape that she wrapped around herself during her "free time". She paid an intern with the promise of drugs and a kiss to grab her a stick and a blade in the kitchen which she fashioned into a crude scythe. Waiting patiently for dinner time, she showed up as "death" wielding her "scythe". She stood on a chair and proclaimed that everyone was to die tonight. "TIME FOR THE REAPING". As the medical team tackled her amongst the screaming patients, she screamed that she was only the "messenger". Later in the week, she would sneak up to spook the staff while making croaking sounds suddenly in their ears similar to "The Grudge". The next week, she found a chefs hat and claimed everyone was eating their dead friends. She would ask some of the patients if they liked human meat well done or rare. She organized wheelchair race betting at midnight until someone actually got killed by slipping into a nearby pond. Eventually, she was tranquilized and moved to another facility.

At 17, she organized a riot at her new hospital. She watched and imitated the more passive patients and found it easy to make friends with many of the girls. She then proceeded to activate an escape plan after several months of planning. Two orderlies ended up dying from drug overdoses and somehow Angelina ended up with a full set of skeleton keys to the hospital. Although her friends made it out, she stayed back to face the oncoming medical team with her hands in the air, singing a medley of songs at random. Her ruse worked somewhat and although she was recaptured she was happy she could assist with her friends escaping. She went through several psychiatrists and many types of benzos and tranquilizers during this time. She also went through other types of therapies such as Electroconvulsive therapy as she didn't seem to respond to normal treatment. A list of her childhood early diagnosis included but were not limited to: Drug Addiction, Anxiety and Depression, PTSD, ADD, and ODD.

At 18, she was put in a high security mental hospital. At this point she changed direction a bit and started to read more, taking interest in things like crystals, metaphysics, and astrology. She was also interested in acting and singing, but that seemed too far out of her grasp in her current condition. Maybe she could find a job acting when she was older. She seemed to be more under control as long as she took her Diazepam (Valium) at high doses. She was much more careful to stay out of trouble, and was very friendly with all the staff. She eventually was granted clearance to help distribute food as long as she continued her treatment. This worked out well for her and her friends as it turned out to be an easy way to deliver little "pick me ups" to those that reciprocate with any of her own needs. She also discovered she had a talented singing voice and would love to dress up and sing some karaoke style songs for the staff and other patients. She was quite popular for this and started to enjoy herself. She also helped volunteer for mundane tasks such as cleaning in addition to helping with cooking and decorating for the holidays. Sometimes for favors, sometimes just to be able to talk to the other patients for comfort. It was at this point she started to feel real empathy for those around her suffering.

At 20, she was allowed out of the hospital under supervision as long as she saw her psychiatrist on a weekly basis. She was encouraged to find work, either helping in the hospital/mental institutions as an intern or learning other basic skill sets. She was told once by a doctor that she would make a great drug counselor as she was quite empathetic to those suffering. She saved up enough cash from all her side deals to buy a nice high end jet black motorcycle which she treasures dearly as her mode of transportation. Eventually she was allowed to travel without supervision but never allowed to leave the city for at least another several years.

Now at 22, and finally being "free" she has moved to the nearby city of Los Santos. Not knowing the city well, she understands she needs to make a network of contacts to provide a better life for herself. She trained herself in combat with a gun and a knife and usually and keeps one near her at all times hidden. She knows a little of self defense. She has tried Krav Maga online and attempted to study it as best she can with what she had in her room. One day, she may meet her parents again. And she wants to be ready for it. Ready for revenge perhaps.

## Angelina's Childhood Poetry

### My Closet

Deep in my closet

Tiny lights follow

My shallow breath

Soul turning hollow

They gather around

Laying in wait

Luring me further

Dragging the bait

No rational thought

So eager to please

But I will not beg

Or fall to my knees

I miss the small hints

Tucked away by the wall

The hourglass is stuck

Now shadows loom tall

Gathering strength

Am I losing my mind

I don't want to see

What's not there to be found
