Appearance:
Few people know what Mason looks like under his long black hair. To be honest it only reaches to slightly above his shoulders but it seems as if every morning he specially arranges it so you can rarely even see his nose poking through the tangled mess. The few people who do see his face mainly focus on his dark green eyes. They flicker and often change the shade of green depending on how light it is outside. While he rarely looks people in the eyes, when he does his eyes are clouded, only partially focused on the moment. His nose is slightly big for his face and broken in two different places, giving him a clumsy look. His bright white teeth are always hidden as well but when he smiles they shine. Mason’s voice has already cracked and when ever he speaks he tends to sound thoughtful.
At only the age of fourteen Mason stands at 5 foot 11 and is built, rather than stick thin. Though no one would ever know since he covers himself with his clothes much as he covers his face with his hair. Large hoodies hide his muscular frame and baggy pants seem to do the same for his legs. Only his brown tanned face and hands would give any indication as to his skin tone, and even those are sometimes hidden in the many folds of clothing. The only constant factor in his appearance is an old bronze fog watch he constantly carries in one of his pockets. The watch dangles from a similarly colored chain that is hooked onto Mason’s pants. Etched along the sides and face of the watch are small unreadable symbols. This watch was one of the first things Mason ever made and can tell him whether wishes will come true in the next twelve hours and if they are coming true, then how long he has to wait.
Thin fingers are the only look of neatness Mason possesses. Perfectly cut fingernails have always been a habit of his because when he was young, one of his fingernails snagged on the gears he was working with and was almost ripped clean out of the nail bed. Tiny scars, cuts and burns surround his hands and arms from the constant work he does on any and all materials given to him. Though most of these are years old as Mason improves quickly with any tool he is given.
Personality:
As his clothes and hair would show, Mason tends to keep himself to himself. He sits in the back of the class, spends all his lunches in the school library and never goes near any social events. Yet despite all of this he knows all the answers to the teacher’s questions, knows all the gossip in the school, and is continuously blamed for any prank in the school.
Everyone seems to know of Mason, yet no one actually bothers to talk to him. The only people he speaks to are the ones who pay him to cause disruptions in the school. He has staged almost every malfunction in the school for one person or another. The toilets blow up in the girl’s restroom. The cook faints in the middle of lunch rush and somehow wipes out everyone’s lunch accounts so everyone gets free lunch for two weeks. Any money he receives for these things disappears into his pockets and eventually ends up in a small wooden box nestled in his house’s attic. Though these events occur often and many of the teachers have tried to blame Mason, it is absolutely impossible to expel him when the events occur while he is no where near it. Still many teachers dislike and distrust him, writing him off as an ignorant teenager who seems to be too smart for his own good.
Yet despite all of these tricks and catastrophe’s Mason still manages to be an absolute genius. He has never gotten less than a 95 on any one assignment and is always able to answer the teacher’s questions. His ability to do all of this gives him a larger than life IQ, in fact he could have passed High school when he was ten except for the fact that he refused to skip grades, simply adding to his mysterious nature.
Outside of school only a few people actually know what Mason is like. He is rarely thinking of the present and has no patience what so ever for what he considers ‘ignorant airheads’. He often finds that anyone who is not curious about the world tends to fall into the ‘ignorant airhead’ category. If he has any friends they tend to be machines and he actually has a habit of talking to anything that has microchips or gears. He loves the new technology that there are no spells for and adapts older spells to fit the new electronical age.
History:
In the Weirs there are two types of people. The larger group consists of the people who have suffered tragedies or traumatic events at the hands of other Weirs. However a small percentage has actually lived their lives without deaths and enslavement at the hands of other Weirs. Mason is one of the few that have lived normal, Anaweir, lives. He knows of the Weirs and the political issues facing them, but the only exposure he has to this is the Black Market in Los Angeles, where he sells many of his inventions.
Being born to two intelligent and well known Architects, both Anaweir, has left Mason in a unique position. Most of what he knows about electricity and materials came from his parents. Dinner conversations were usually along the lines of the pros and cons of different electronic wirings. So despite the fact that both of his parents are Anaweir, Mason has a large background for his inventions.
However Mason’s spells and magical experience have come from his Grandfather, who was also a Sorcerer. Mason spent summer after summer with his strict Grandfather but learned more than he could ever hope about magic. After his Grandfather’s death when Mason was 11, Mason was at a loss about how to learn more about his trade. His Weir book held him over for a few months but after a time he began to seek out teachers in the Black Market of Los Angeles. He began to learn more and more from the teachers he did find and added spells and symbols to his Weir Book. He continues to learn from various people in the Underground and expands on his knowledge of different materials and spells.[/center][/color]
