Character Information

Mason Michael Starkey is a storked AWOL who rebelled against Connor Lassiter and the others in the Graveyard with his Stork Club.

Biography

Mason was a child of uncertain race storked in Southern California, to a sienna family. Mason, once an intelligent child, grew up feeling unwanted, and Mason acted up because of it—fights, drugs, and even stealing a car at one point. He was constantly bullied by kids at school who called him "Storky", a nickname which sets him off and causes him throw a fit or lash out violently.

When he was three, his mother, all doped up on pain medication from his sister's cesarean, took him to a fire station and begged them to take him away and make him a ward of the state.

When he was sixteen years old, Starkey had just gotten expelled from another school after getting into a physical fight with another student. Fed up with putting up with him, his parents finally decided to have him unwound. While his sister Jenna stood up for him, he was ultimately still sent away, but not before revealing his father's infidelity.

During his escape from the Juvey-cops he turns the gun on them which instead of tranq bullets were real ones and kills two of them. This would be only the first in a series of similar events.

Mason grew to admire the "Akron AWOL" and based his next decisions on what he saw as the Akron AWOL's act of bravery. However, upon finally meeting him at the Graveyard, Mason was gravely disappointed, even more so upon learning that he was supposed to follow the boy's instructions.

Mason grew even more dissatisfied with Connor's authority as time went by, and he began plotting his own rise to power with his fellow storks.

Physical description

Mason is described as having straggly brown hair and an olive complexion, being a "genetic hodgepodge" who could could pass for any ethnicity. After kicking AWOL, Mason has since dyed his brown hair red and blond. He is short for his age.

Personality

Mason Starkey is extremely arrogant, manipulative, egotistical, violent, even murderous, and selfish. He thinks of himself as a hero.

He has always lived in a kind of protective paranoia. He is very distrustful of people, and tends to be self-confident while being unimpressed of others whom he sees as inferior to him. Unlike Connor, he brags about his deeds and even exaggerates them. He is said to be a natural born leader among sketchy outcasts and borderline personalities, building for himself a cult of personality status among other storks, which he takes great pride in, seeing himself as the savior of storks. Hayden has referred to him as "The Stork Lord" behind his back.

Trivia

• Since they could not figure out when he was born, the date he was left on his foster family's doormat was used as his official birthday.
• Mason, once an aspiring magician, is capable of performing magic tricks. He would use this skill to escape from his handcuffs when he went AWOL.
