### Mason Queen: 1998 - 2013

Mason was born to Oliver Queen and Samantha Clayton around Oliver's playboy days before he had departed for the Queens Gambit for his his twenty-first birthday, seeing as it was better to maintain her unplanned pregnancy she kept quiet and would tell anyone who asked that it was an old flame of hers. All things considered Mason was a happy go lucky kid despite growing up in a low income district of Star City he maintained his high grades, stayed in shape, while being quite social with his friends. Though after Oliver's return to Star City he had grown an unknown bound to him and would do his research to find out about our Mr. Queen.

After years of gaining research on Oliver, Mason had discovered that Oliver had not only been a billionaire playboy but the superhero known as the Green Arrow, as his mother had discovered this, and later told Oliver of their son and told him to maintain the secret of Oliver being his father after this, Mason had tried to find his father but his mother shut all of his methods. He had also learned of his aunts and adopted brothers through his father, hoping to avoid these thoughts it wouldn't take long for him to join the family business.

In 2013, while the League of Shadows was meeting with The Light to discuss a weapons shipment, Ra's al Ghul had learned of Oliver's secret son and sent Merlyn and Nyssa to hold Samantha and Mason hostage to draw Oliver out into the open, this had seemed to work with Oliver arriving holding both of them at gunpoint Oliver had pleaded Nyssa to let them go and take him instead, this failed however as Nyssa had impaled Samantha and moved to impale Mason also before getting her sword knocked away by an arrow fired by Roy which allowed Mason to escape to safety while Oliver and Roy dealt with Nyssa and Merlyn.

Mason was placed into a Star City orphanage for the following months though he was constantly picked on and beat amongst the other kids only to find Oliver having arrived with him being named Mason's guardian and took him in, while Mason was resentful towards Oliver for getting his mother killed. This led to Mason getting caught running away or often getting into fights with his fellow students, seeing Mason's pent up anger was rising he figured that maybe he needed an outlet and Oliver just knew the right one...

### Quickfire: 2013 - Present Day

After proposing the position of Mason taking up the mantle of Speedy, Mason had refused and mainly wanted to carve his own path choosing the name, Quickfire and made his own suit that offered him in speed and protection and ventured the rooftops along with his father as one of his merry sidekicks. During this time Mason seemed to enjoy this new life of protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty stuck to Mason's mindset of his new night life.

Mason had also played a part in aiding Team Arrow in containing various league attacks while being able to throw Merlyn and Nyssa into cells and after spending another summer in Star City Mason had left with Thea, Emiko, Conner, and Mia to spend their time with the Teen Titans and The Team, where he made fast friends with his teammates. Since then Mason has continued his hero work picking a job as a photographer and has made some good money.

After that Mason has left for college and has decided to split his time between crime fighting to enjoy the city that he loves so much plus it's clear that Mason may have a huge crush on Maya Kent (maybe the two like each other just as much) anyways nowadays Mason is just enjoying life as much as an nine-teen year old can.

## Weaknesses

* **Awkward:** Mason is a little socially awkward out of costume. While he has steadily gotten better at interacting with others over the years, he still has some difficulties and hates making eye contact. Mason was recently finally diagnosed with High-Functioning Asperger’s Syndrome and Anxiety Disorder. Mason has asked Zatanna and Miss Martian to help curb his anxiety so that it doesn’t interfere with his super-heroics. This condition is most apparently by Mason's talkative nature (especially when excited or nervous), his vast wealth of obscure knowledge, his disliking staying still for too long, and his tendency towards blunt honesty. Lacking a deceitful nature, he tends to speak his mind and tell it like it is, even when such stark and frank observations are not welcome.
