### Description

Mason is a 6'6" Individual with an above average intelligence and a high skill in engineering and mechanics. He is known for not really showing much expression and appearing mostly "calm" and "collected", at most only seeming inpatient. He use to carry around two weapons, the first one was a modified SPAS-12 of which has the capability of using Ziolite infused bullets, and the second is just a standard FN Five-Seven. Mason occasionally wears a backpack full of materials and tools, mostly for on the go engineering and to carry food and water. Mason also has a skill of being able to learn things rather fast if he wishes too, usually being able to pick up somethings in a few minutes at minimum. A thing to note is that despite his combat training from being a guard at the S.C.P foundation and his new bodies unique advantages, he rarely ever fights or engages in combat scenarios.

### Pre-Backstory

While Mason was in his younger years, he did quite some illegal shit, stealing some random millionaire's Mosler MT900S, he used it for street racing and this was his first way of garnering money when he was younger, it's also how he got his interest in modification and tuning of cars, and just the general interest around them. Mason after having way too many accidents due to the recklessness of street racing, decided to put the Mosler away in a climate controlled garage many years ago, and only has recently found it again.

### Backstory

Mason was an average everyday person when he was younger, only garnering an interest in engineering much later in life. Before his engineering passion, he worked as a security guard in one of the S.C.P foundations sites in the United Kingdom for a temporary amount of time. He eventually left the job after the amount of gruesome things he saw there. During his early engineering passion days, he began working on small projects at first that eventually spiralled and expanded out to bigger and bigger projects, selling them to make a profit and eventually saving up enough money for him and his entire family to travel to Reno City in Nevada, and to buy out a house big enough for every single member to live inside. After a few years of being in Reno, Mason got a little bit over his head and tried to make an experimental hand-held rail-gun, of which did not end so well. He went to go show his family due to his show-off like nature. Due to the rail guns rushed nature, when he tried to use it, It suddenly exploded out into multiple pieces of shrapnel, killing every single person in the room, except for him. After seeing the fire, the bodies and the burnt wood, he'd begin to run off. He went to a nearby hotel, thinking and processing of everything that had just happened. This lead Mason to become the perfectionist engineer that he is today. After multiple years, he eventually became more and more detached from the world around him, seeming emotionless or very monotone in other words. Many years later, once the pale virus broke out and hit Reno, he decided to head off to some random watch tower in the middle of nowhere using a telescope to just watch the chaos happening in the city. Generally speaking, after this, not much is known. After some random exploration, he came across the V.E.R.S facility and decided to make the ventiliations inside the facility his home for a bit. He made multiple inventions to dodge around the pale virus like the "N.L.T Machine" (Non-Latex Transformation Machine), of which in other words turned the user into an anthropomorphic animal. Though due to constant use of the machine, his D.N.A had mutated so much to the point of which had made him just naturally immune to the disease. He suffered from some weird physical visual changes like permanent "purple eyes" and temporary "white hair". Eventually after multiple months of just watching and observing how the people of the apocalypse "work", he had some plans. Mason headed to the forest and built an underground base of sorts, working there for multiple months while nothing else really happened.

**The Start Of Ziogen**

Mason's fascination for AI and other tech related things led to him experimenting and creating the C.E.M (Conciousness Emulator Machine) of which he used to make Alexander. After a while Mason and Alexander decided that remaking cilvization and bringing it back up from the ground would be a good idea but they of course needed a main resource to help aid in rebuilding something like for instance, the power grid. So they found ziolite a unstable powerful material found deep underground near to sandy locations (Like the beach). It is a blue rock basically that glows kinda and is only found in small amounts unless mined with special equipment. They have now built what is essentially a super mine at the beach and have finished construction of a head quarters in The City, it is a tall and big tower of size that has a spiky tall spire at the top of it, it has a billboard displaying the ziogen logo and other advertisement related things on it.

**The Universe Transport**

After a very long while of nothing happening in his universe and after Ziogen wasn't really doing much and the UGA was gone and done in that universe, a bunch of parasites began invading the world taking it over and covering the sun with a dyson sphere, eventually after the population of the parasites grew too big he made a device that "accidentally" worked a lil too well and sent him to this current universe with Richard. After a while he found this universe's version of Mercy, John and Michael and became very knowledgeable of what was different and what was the same. After a while Mason and Mercy became good friends and began talking alot about discussions relating to other factions or the facility itself, particularly about the first war between the San Frans and The US Remnants. After many many arguments between the group because of there different sides, The San Frans and The US Remnants. Mercy and Mason decided to run off to a old HQ in Wyoming to hide there for a bit. Mason eventually remade Ziogen in a few days and made it as powerful as it use to be in the old universe.

**The Cities Devastion**

During the time that Mercy and Mason were in the wyoming bunker, planes and other various things were sent into the city and facility to destroy it, but the city got destroyed the hardest. One of the secret ziolite reactors made in the middle part of the city was intentionally overloaded and exploded, the explosion was very big and dusty causing the enviroment to become irradiated, toxic, and hazardous. The dust still hasn't been cleaned yet and it will probably take a long while to clean it. Once the San Frans and US Remnants found Mason and Mercy in Wyoming, they invaded the underground HQ flooding it with mustard gas, Mercy escaped while Mason accepted his fate, he took several cyanide pills and other various poisions and died due to the combination of the mustard gas and the poison.

He can be found buried in the forest, with a light ziolite crystal embedded into his grave.

Eventually Mason was brought back to life by a cloning machine that was enabled by Charlie, it was an Andersonian cloning machine in specific that came from one of the Anderson factories, 2023 was reaching its end.

### The Two Year Timeskip

(This timeskip happened, due to the things moving at a rather slow pace in the RP)

Mason inbetween the years of 2043-2045, after coming back to life decided to get his life back together and got most of his general thoughts together. He had joined a mega religion that was lead by Sum, a sort of mechanical place of peace for the hopeless, after a while he replaced his forearms with Mechanical cogwork thamuturgy tech, leading to today. He is commonly called the tinkerer, and sometimes does maintenance and cleaning on the people that are there who have mechanical enhancements and augments.

After multiple months, Mason decided that he should be the CEO of Ziogen again and due to him still having the highest rank in terms of permissions, was easily able to get back to the top again.

After multiple months, Mason succumbed to his bodies immunse response. The Immune response was caused by the immensive changes and alterations in DNA, causing the body to not even recognize itself anymore. In a last ditch attempt to keep on living after the cloning machines were turned fully off, Mason built himself a new modelled out machine called "M.H-27". After death, his soul was transfer to this new great body.
