Mason Raithe
Name: Mason Elvis Raithe
Nickname: Some kids call him 'the Gargoyle' just because of the way he looks and the fact he seems aloof and when he does interact with others he usually seems angry, very defensive, or both. Besides that, he falls under the 'goth' label for those that use them, and probably other references that don't need to be repeated.
Age: 17
Birthplace: Mysteria
Sex: Male
Occupation: He's a student in the local high school, and works at a local arcade after school.
Appearance: Mason is a tall, lanky boy. He easily makes it past the six foot mark, ending up at about six feet, two and a half inches tall, though he probably isn't done growing. His build is very skinny, many would probably refer to it as bony, to an almost unhealthy looking extent, almost as though he doesn't eat enough. His skin is quite pale, not having very much color to it at all. His hair is a dark black in color, and goes down to about his chin, he usually wears it parted down the middle, though there are many times he simply doesn't feel like doing anything with his hair, thus it isn't unusual for him to have it going every which way. It depends on his mood, but he doesn't always wash it like he should, therefore at times it appears dirty and greasy. His eyes are a green/grey sort of color, though some people have swore they've seen them appear red, but that was probably just a trick of reflection, right? He tends to wear dark clothes, not surprisingly, his favorite color is black, and it isn't unusual for him to show up in rumpled, torn clothes--it seems most of the time he doesn't take that much pride in his appearence. He does tend to wear eyeliner some of the time, again, depending on his mood, and off and on lipstick, usually black when he does decide to wear it.
Personality: Mason is a youth that would be very hard to get to know, mainly because he tends to be very defensive and has a 'shield' he puts up, so to speak, to protect himself from others. He tends to be very quiet, and thinks the worst of people automatically, for him the glass surely is 'half empty'. This negative attitude stems from his childhood, which will be discussed in more detail in the history section. Because he thinks the worst of everyone, sometimes he mistakes what other people say to him or think about him and then he gets angry. His anger is something that surely is a problem for him. He very easily flies off the handle and once he does, it is very difficult for him to get ahold of himself, and whenever he gets to angry he wants to cause damage and pain for anything and everything around him, something he realizes, and it distresses him, because while he doesn't exactly like anyone, or so he'd say, part of him doesn't think hurting people is the answer either, something he'd say when in a 'rational' frame of mind. He also has a fairly low self esteem so will lash out at others and attack them maliciously if they say the slightest thing that could be construed as negative. On the positive side, if one ever gains his trust, which is quite rare, he tends to be very loyal to a fault and will do anything to protect that individual.
Special abilities/talents: No special training, he doesn't even realize he's anything but human. He has a mild teleinetic ability he does not know about, all he knows is that sometimes things tend to move without exaplanation when he is especially upset.
Supernatural Affinity:
Species/Group: Half human, half demon (his father is a Ravener)
Power(s): Telekinesis (level one). He isn't aware he has this power, superhuman strength when he is angry.
Level: Level one
Affiliation/Rank: None
Preferred Prey: None.
History: Mason was born with the assistance of a mid wife, his mother never did go to a hospital. Years later his mother would never give him the name of the midwife, and whenever he asked any details about his birth, she'd change the subject. She had a very good idea that Mason's father was demonic, but is in denial about it and decided her son never had to know about it. After Mason was born, his mother had decided Mason probably should have never been born, and although she could never muster up the nerve to try to kill her child, she slowly alientated him. She took care of his basic needs, such as clothes, food, etc, but as far as nuturing him and such, she left him on his own as much as possible, and once he got a little older, about nine or so, she began leaving him alone a lot, always out at bars or clubs, trying to forget the grave mistake she'd made.
Due to the way his mother treated him, Mason always did feel as if there was something the matter with him. There had to be, if his own mother wouldn't even hug him. Not once was he tucked in or hugged like most other children were. Due to this, he developed a low self esteem from early on, and also a festering type of anger. Why wasn't he good enough? What had he ever done? Was he defective? Was he a mistake? All of these and many other questions ran across the child's mind daily, and that surely couldn't have been good for his mental state. He often would have outbursts and temper tantrums, and there were times were things would fly across the room as the child howled in rage.
Then, once he reached the age of about ten, he began having nightmares. A feeling of fright and the unknown always accompanied these, and he usually was running from something, but they always seemed so vivid. Sometimes a deep, rumbling voice would accompany these dreams. Sometimes it would spout words the youth couldn't understand, but sometimes it would tell him to stop running, to embrace 'it'...what 'it' meant Mason didn't know.. HE still has these 'dreams' to this day and doesn't realize they all aren't dreams. Some of them are attempted visits from his father, who is becoming more and more interested in his son as he grows and matures, realizing he just might be a valuable instrument in assisting him in destroying as much humankind as he can.
Flaws:
Low Self-image--Mason has had this since he was a very small child, and it causes him to be a bit paranoid, thinking others are always thinking the worse about him, though because of the vibe he tends to put off, there are many times he's correct in his thinking. Because of his low self image, he tends to fly off the handle very easily, and is very quick to shoot others down to make himself feel better.
Nightmares: These started when Mason was about ten years old or so. Sometimes they are just ominous and frightening, but as he started getting older, they started to get increasingly violent and unsettling, especially if he went to bed angry at someone. What is beginning to scare MAson more then the nightmares themselves and their content is that he starting to ecieve a strong feeling of acceptance in these nightmares, even when he himself performs the acts of depravity they tend to feature.
Lack of Control- Mason doesn't even know he has telekentic abilities, and when they do display themselves, whenever a mood of his is very extreme, which happens quite often, he is never able to control them, and it probably is just a matter of time before an accident happens because of it.
Unsettling Presence- Mason tends to make people feel very uneasy, probably because of his demonic nature. Mason knows that he makes people uneasy, but he thinks it's just because he's strange and doesn't have any idea it is because of his nature that people tend to avoid him or think there's something the matter with him.
Merits:
Survival: Mason doesn't need anyone else to take care of him, due to his less then supportive childhood, he's learned to fend for himself, and it seems as if he does a pretty good job of it.
Determintion: When Mason wants something, Mason is going to get what he wants and won't stop until he has it.
Loyalty: Something that is difficult to gain, though once someone has gained Mason's loyalty, he will not betray them very easily and will protect them fiercely, not wanting to lose the close tie he has because it is very far and inbetween that he has one of those at all.
Sexual Orientation: Bi, though he hasn't had the chance to explore his sexuality much due to all the other worries he has.
Preferred PB (played-by): Aaron Gilmore
