Mason Shepard

Mason Shepard is the Main Character of Legends of Capital City.

History
During his first day of kindergarten, he sat alone, thinking he wouldn't make any friends. Abbey Vulcan decided to sit with him. They got along instantly. When recess started, they went immediately to the jungle gym. Jerry told them to get off so he could play on it. But, Mason began to punch him until Abbey begged him to stop. Since Mason didn't stop, Abbey threw him all the way to the sand box. After Recess was over, Mason still sat there, thinking Abbey wouldn't want to sit at his table anymore. Surprisingly, Abbey still thought of him as a friend and decided to keep him from beating up on other kids too much. After a while, they became a prominent force at the school, keeping it clean and stop bullying.

Mason first found out about Vanguard when Abbey accidentally dropped her deck. He accompanied her to her first tournament where she was defeated by Shiro in the final match. She wanted to give up, but he wouldn't let her. He asked her to teach him how to play sohe could help her practice. They continued to work on her deck until the next tournament had begun. This time, Abbey defeated Shiro. Abbey was grateful to Mason for his help and continued to play. She then moved a couple of months later, making Mason a loner for 11 years. The only thing he couldn't remember after she had left was her name.

During Sai's first day at his high school, Mason didn't think much of him. When he saw Jerry and his gang jumping him, Mason took immediate action. Jerry was about to smash Sai's deck until Mason threw his backpack at him. He then told Sai to head home so he would handle the rest. The next day, Sai tried to thank him, with Mason saying he was lucky he didn't jump him. After school, he came across Fighter Central, a new shop that just came in town. He saw Sai talking to the manager, Kotetsu Yamato, Sai's father. He is convinced by Kotetsu to try Vanguard and had Sai fight him. Sai told him the rules as the.game went on, with Mason showing more prowess than any other beginner. Many people began to watch as Mason was fighting Sai. Sai was close, but Mason won by riding to Gold Rutile. Mason was cheered for and was congratulated by Sai. He then became a full-fledged cardfighter, beginning to get more experience with every battle and upgrading his deck in the process.

Before the shop tournament was to begin, Mason had to fight a fortuneteller named James Greyson for the final spot. He wins and enters the tournament. Him and Sai win matches left and right. When a former major league player, Wrecking Ball, lost to a private school student, Trevor Holtsworth, he then promises to win the tournament and he gives Mason Armored Fairy, Shubiela, his daughter's favorite card. Mason then reaches the top 16, then top 8 after fighting Jerry. He finally reached the top 4, but lost to Trevor after he used Stil Vampir's skill to revert his vanguard back to Beast Deity, White Tiger. He is then reunited with Abbey during her match with Trevor. After Abbey won, the four found out they were going to the Regional Tournament in Nevada.

Personality
He used to be quite ignorant until Abbey set him straight. He was always getting in trouble after she had left. After meeting Sai, he began to calm down and treasures the connections he has with other people. Him and Trevor never always see eye to eye, especially when Trevor says something he doesn't understand.

Relationships
Sai Yamato

Him and Sai became best friends after he started playing Vanguard. They always hang out after school with Abbey, Jerry and anyone else that went to Fighter Cental

Abbey Vulcan

They became friends after their first day of school. Abbey showed him her cards, making him interested in the game at a young age, giving him prior knowledge before fighting Sai. After seeing her after 11 years, he could barely recognize her. He wanted to ask her out after the shop tournament because of this, given that he thought she was cute. After hearing about this, she begins to joke around about how Mason said, when they were kids, that she looked like Stealth Fae, Yukihime. It has been shown that they are developing feelings for one another.
