Feral Mind
Considering the fact that at this point in his life, the enhanced senses such as smell and hearing have long since integrated themselves into Mason's every day life, his power is that of a primal, unstoppable rage that allows him to perform in vastly increased capacities, taking and inflicting damage that he wouldn't in his normal state. Mason is naturally strong because he trained himself to be, but because of his powers and whenever they happen to be activated, all of it gets elevated to the point that sometimes he has no control over the rage that takes place. His strength rivals that of another super who's strength is inhuman, he's quicker and more instinctual, and honestly a lot deadlier than he would like to be.
Really tall "It's a nuisance, but being six four can be helpful." || Loyal || Lives in the moment || Surprisingly performs well in school, particularly in English and History || Enhanced senses "No, Kat, I'm really not a golden retriever. I found your jacket that one time, damn it." || Has a very high pain tolerance || Finding a way to sneak in an adventure or running away (particularly off campus) || Really strong (he works out) || Running for long periods of time
Weaknesses
Sensitive to smells and sounds "Can't exactly complain that your music is too loud when I already hear better than most." || Teasing shorter people because he just can't help himself || Females "Not in that way, pervert. More in the I'm either scared shitless of them or find them cute when they're supposed to be intimidating. There's no in between." || People mentioning his past || Has really bad anger issues || Can never resist a sarcastic remark || Homemade macaroni and cheese "I'm very familiar with the microwaveable versions, and so when I can get my hands on a fresh pot, it's going down." || The feral in his head that just really wants to let loose on the world
Fears
Having left his mom to fend for herself and something happening to her || Not being to be broken or break himself out of feral mode || Hurting someone he cares about || Cats "Shut up, Kat. I had a bad experience."
Secrets
Homeless || Mason isn't just a Yearly for the fun of it or because he doesn't want to go home. Rather, it's because there's no home to go back to. His mother had him too young and without any support from either her family, or his father's family (mostly because they refused to acknowledge the boy who looked just like their deceased son), and so it's been a rather trying time for the both of them. When Mason had managed to find money before, it never lasted and his mother barely held down a job that made enough for the both of them, resulting in them losing the apartment she had initially gotten. The smarter idea, his mother had decided, would be to let him have a roof over his head, instead of going from shelter to shelter while she struggled.
Drugs || No, he doesn't do them and never will. The way his metabolism is set up doesn't allow for drugs to work for too long in his system anyway (he really wanted weed to be this lasting, good thing but it wasn't), but Mason did sell them, inadvertently of course. Then again, considering it made him money when he didn't know what the "errands" he was performing for a neighbor really included, he probably wouldn't have had much of an issue back then. But it is enough of an issue now that only two people know of that.
{ Audacious, Playful, Expressive, Impulsive, Sensitive, Protective }
The one thing that needs to be acknowledged and accepted first, above all things, is that Mason isn't everybody's favorite cup of tea. While some might find that others find them hard to deal with and want to change some aspect of themselves in order to please those other individuals, Mason has discovered this fact, laughs very boisterously in your face about it, and then revels in it. He warns in advance and makes no excuses about it - he can be a lot to handle. While he is not one of those people who believes that life is a complete joke, he also isn't one to find every little thing as serious. He's carefree in that sense, mostly because he's been through too much to be so serious. His life is his life and while he won't say that he's grown up with the most golden of spoons in his mouth (do plastic spoons count?), he has acknowledged that he grew up with the privilege (or is it predilection?) to not actually give a flying fuck about other people and their expectations. People are going to spend your entire life nitpicking the different parts of you that they either like or don't like, he has already surmised. And the one thing he is not going to do is waste his time trying to conform, fix himself or even try to please anyone. At least, not try to fix the things he doesn't want to change. So, if it happens that his rapid-fire, quick-witted and sarcastic self has rubbed you the wrong way, unless Mason genuinely feels as though he might have insulted you or truly hurt your feelings, expect not a single fuck to be given. He's shameless, after all.
Which is kinda funny when you consider how easily stirred up he can be. Blame it on his impulsiveness or a sensitivity he doesn't want to acknowledge, but Mason can go from zero to one-hundred without even having to go into feral mode. It just so happens that it's easy to get to that latter point, even when he doesn't want to, and he's trying to change. Has surrounded himself with people who can keep him in check. But it's hard not to react to things and people, especially when he's such a straight-forward individual who doesn't hide his wants, feelings, and desires. He wants to be with a person? Sure, he'll flirt, but they're going to know what's in his head. Curious if he doesn't like you or not? You shouldn't be because he's more than once probably set the record straight. It's not hard to read him, not really, and that's because Mason has grown tired of being guarded. He knows that it would probably be better for him to control his feral side by being more closed off, more guarded and to himself. Back to before officials of Laurel found out about him and brought him into the fold when all he had were these animal instincts and a need to survive when his mother couldn't provide for him. But Mason doesn't want that; in fact, he likes the life he has now, appreciates it. Which is why he's so damn intent on keeping the small group of friends he has, oftentimes just as quick to get into a fight on their behalf and whatnot because that's how much he cares. Even if that lands him in detention from time to time. It's not like he wasn't already going to wind up there because of his mouth or whatever harmless fun he and friends can get into.

Super strong scents "I don't care if your perfume cost a hundred dollars, Janet. That shit's too strong." || Too much sugary foods "It's not that I don't like sweets. It's that they're too sweet...sometimes." || Snobs || Abuse of any kind || Asparagus, even though he's not turning down any offered food || Bullies || Other people crying "Look, it just...it makes me uncomfortable, alright?" || The Pepsi vs. Coca-Cola debate "They're literally the same." || People pointing out that he's graduating a year late || His background || Mushrooms || Drugs || His powers
By the time Mason was ten, they could no longer stay at the apartment she had had since freshman year of college. They had been in and out of shelters, and even though his mother always found a way to keep her growing boy fed, Mason was very much accustomed to struggle and hardship at a young age. It didn't help, when he was ten, that his powers surfaced. One day it had been normal, the next everything was just heightened. Smells and sounds and even sights were too much, like the fluorescent light in a building was somehow too bright when before Mason was pretty sure it had been dull. It was a mind-boggling change and he had hated it. Hated that it made him hyper-aware of how many days it had been since the person sleeping next to them had showered, hated how he couldn't go anywhere without knowing exactly where someone stood in reference to himself and how he needed that knowledge to survive. It was all made worse when he realized that there were more to these abilities, particularly when on an errand for a guy that paid him well enough that his mom didn't have to stress too hard for clothes, and the rage had been activated. A guy tried to cheat him out of the money his boss told him he was to acquire and after being shoved to the ground, Mason blacked out. He didn't come to until the guy was already beat to a bloody pulp - damn near dead, from what the news had said - and he'd been some blocks away, fists bloody and blood still trying to cool itself down in his veins. It took two more years for Laurel to find him and attending, particularly as a Yearly, had been a difficult decision. But once Mason had gotten a sponsor, and his mom insisted because it would allow her to go back to her degree without having to worry about what he was missing out on, it had been a done deal and not one that he's regretted. He just misses his mom a lot. She was the only family he had known for a long while.[/i]
