Charles N. Mason, also known as Newb in Arena Fighting Simulator, Modern, and Apocalyptic. Newb was born in California, Los Angeles on 19th of February, 1969.

## Background

17 years later, Charles began working for a gang his friend was a part of. Charles never did that much work aside from delivering drugs to locations where his boss told him to, and most of the time he just hung around at the gang's base.

About 6 years later, the gang's base was raided by the police, and Charles was taken into custody. He was later sentenced to 45 years in prison for multiple charges of drug possession and gang affiliation.

After 5 months, he was approached by 2 people in his jail cell. Those two people took him to a room and told him he could get paid a lot of money and get out of prison if he signed this contract in return for something. Charles blindly signed it, not knowing what mess he would get himself into.

## Arena Fighting Simulator

Charles was knocked out and was taken somewhere. He later woke up in an old, decrepit home. He was forced to fight enemies, and if he defeated those enemies, he would earn a currency called monocles to upgrade his weapons and armour, as well as buy new items to fight more.

After a few days had passed, his friend named Reid appeared, with a new room also appearing in the home. After another few days, 16 also appeared, and with her, another room.

16 and Charles normally had to run through dungeons together. Charles also made a friend named Tom Anderson. They would normally hang out at his home. Charles also made another friend named Hank.

After a few days of just fighting hordes of enemies, Charles would start to realize that something isn't normal. Charles would start to realize that all of the houses were the same that they lived in and that his and Reid's watch only had arms and no numbers. Charles would start a plan to escape with all of his friends.

## Modern

In Modern, Charles now lives with his friends in Detroit. He usually hangs out with his friends, though he moved out of Detroit and back into California.

## Apocalyptic

In Apocalyptic, Charles died in the nuclear blast that happened in America. and is now a ghost. He also tried to prevent 16 from turning off her respawn machine. He turns it on when 16 leaves after she turned it off, but later on, 16 finds out and turns it off.

## Salvation

Nothing is known about Charles in Salvation. The only thing we know is that he may be alive or dead.

## Relationships

### Legacy

Like in Modern, he thinks fondly of 16 and Reid.

### Apocalyptic

Charles isn't technically friends with Reid and 16 anymore, but he thinks that 16 is a little stranger and odder than before. because of her trying to turn off her spawn machine.

## Trivia

* Charles had an imaginary friend named "Noid."

* Charles built a cloning machine to have siblings of his own.

* Charles met both Reid and 16 on the AOL talk forums.
