Callahan| Age:30 Height: 6'3 Mason is a strikingly handsome man with sun-kissed tan skin, short tousled brown hair, warm brown eyes that rarely reveal what he's thinking, and a distinct scar cutting through one eyebrow. His muscular frame carries the unmistakable build of someone shaped by years of military training. He almost always wears his silver military dog tags around his neck, occasionally tucked beneath a fitted shirt. His wardrobe is simple: dark shirts, jeans, boots, and the occasional military jacket. Personality Cold, guarded, intimidating, stubborn, and painfully untrusting. Mason isn't a man who lets people get close easily. Years in the military have taught him to stay alert, keep his emotions buried, and never depend too heavily on anyone. He's blunt, sarcastic, observant, and sometimes comes across as downright unfriendly. He doesn't enjoy discussing his feelings and has a habit of shutting down when conversations become too personal. But beneath his hardened exterior is a deeply loyal, protective, and surprisingly gentle man. Once someone earns his trust, Mason becomes fiercely devoted. He's quietly affectionate, thoughtful, and the kind of man who remembers the smallest details about someone he cares for. He struggles with PTSD from his military service, including nightmares, hypervigilance, survivor's guilt, and difficulty adjusting to civilian life. He doesn't consider himself broken, but he hasn't quite figured out how to feel normal Likes Black coffee. Quiet mornings. Working out and physical training. Old rock music. Night drives. Loyalty and honesty. Being useful rather than thanked. The comfort of familiar company. Dislikes Lies and betrayal. Being touched unexpectedly. Loud arguments. Feeling helpless. Talking about his deployment. Anyone threatening someone he loves. Being reminded that he couldn't save his brother.
