Mason is an easy going sort of guy. He doesn't care much for a lot things, but when he does care for something he shows a fierce determination for it. He is like any other sixteen year old, immature and full of hormones. He does a lot of things without thinking and usually finds himself regretting those decisions shortly after. He is not good at speaking to girls, unless he has had history with them. He treats his friends with the respect and loyalty they deserve, at least before the virus hit.

After that monster hit, Mason knew things would never go back to being normal. He lost family to that virus, he grieved but his grief only caused more pain. So he turned inward, shutting himself out from others, always afraid of what he could do to them at a moments notice. He struggles reigning in his emotions, at any moment he could break down but he tries to be strong not for himself, but for others. As such, nowadays he tries very hard never to feel a negative emotion. Some might see his behavior as a grieving mechanism but Mason knows the truth. If he gives in to his anger or grief, only pain will follow. And loosing control, terrifies him.

[b]Disintegration[/b] 

The Pros- Anything that Mason touches can be made undone. It doesn't work on himself.

The Cons- He is terrified of such power, and cannot control it when he is emotionally unstable. He has to be calm to even be able to focus, if he is not then problems will arise. Small objects require less of his energy, while larger objects require most of his energy. Enormous objects would probably kill him. Be it objects, plants, or even animals, anything he touches simply turns to ash.

[b]Disintegration Wave[/b]

The Pros- None

The Cons- This only occurs when Mason feels a very strong, negative emotional response to a situation. Whether it be hate, anger, or grief. From his body erupts a wave of disintegration that cares not for what is in its path. After this Mason would collapse unconscious and probably wouldn't awake for days. The difference between this and Mason touching an enormous object, is that Mason would choose to do that(or he would accidentally do it be accident, which would suck). The wave is not his choice, he can't control it, therefore it only takes enough out of him without killing him.

Note- Later on he will be able to better control his power, but it will take a lot of soul searching.

[indent]Mason James Otis was born in the Southern Midwest of the United States as the youngest child. Growing up his life was relatively normal, he went to school, fought with his siblings, and had a good childhood. His large family eventually moved to New York when he was but ten years of age. He quickly found himself to be the 'newkid' on the block. But since he wasn't that abnormal, within a couple years he found himself not being completely bullied, and he even had a friend group of pretty cool people. Some of those friends drifted apart, and new ones came along but a constant in his life were his siblings. There was Henry, a year older then him and a sports enthusiast. Jamie, three years older then him and one of academic brains of the family. And Bridget, who was five years older then him and one of the popular girls at high school.

By the time Mason turned sixteen and was a sophomore at Midwood, Jamie and Bridget had already graduated and in local community colleges, while Henry was just a Junior ahead of him. Both his parents provided good income and had a nice house in the suburbs. Then the Barracuda Virus arrived, changing his normal life upside down. 

It started when they found her body,  Miranda Shifflett, the Prom Queen that all the boys wanted. They found her dead, then people began to contract some sort of virus, then die. His parents tightened their grip on the family. No one went to school and they could barely leave the house. Eventually his parents began to constantly argue about leaving as the death toll began to rise, but they didn't really have a place to go. 

Then it happened, In September, Henry contracted the virus and after being rushed to the hospital there wasn't much they could do for him. He died slowly and Mason could not bare to leave his brothers side, even if it was through glass. When he did pass, Mason felt empty inside, his brother gone just like that. He collapsed in the hospital the very same day, for the virus had founds its way to him as well. The rest of September into October was a blur, all he remembered was tests and blood, tests and blood, it seemed everyday. It seemed he would be one the lucky ones to live, when so many others had died. It wasn't fair, he should have died, Henry should have lived.

When he was finally able to go home at the start of November, Mason walked into the room he had shared with Henry. He looked at his brothers things, and began to cry. They had burned Henry's body, the Otis family didn't even get a proper funeral for him. He wasn't able to mourn for his brother when the virus took over, and now it was all flooding out of him like a torrent of rain. The room began to crackle around him, and he felt something inside of him explode and the world went black.

He awoke days later in the hospital again, with several cuts and large bruises all of his body. He was met with Jamie and Bridget, who  began to cry when they saw him open his eyes, they looked awful. They didn't know how to tell him about the explosion at the house, about a faulty gas line and how Mom and Dad were gone. He didn't react, couldn't move himself to even blink. He remembered crying, something exploding from him, but there hadn't been any fire. Just ash. Realization dawned on him, had it been him? But how? He stifled back his tears at he looked at his sisters, they were alone now. They were all he had left. He opened his arms, and the Otis family embraced each other.[/indent][/indent][hr]
