RPG Bio — Mason Greco & Osto Gallagher

Setting:

A dim, slightly cramped pet store that specializes in reptiles and aquatic life. The front looks normal enough—rows of tanks, low lighting, quiet filtration hum—but the longer you stay, the more you notice: some animals aren’t for sale, some tanks are labeled in handwriting, and some doors stay closed.

Mason Greco (57)

Tall, pale, and hard to read at first glance, Mason moves through the store like he’s part of it. His pastel-dyed hair hangs to his shoulders, usually tucked behind his ears, and his oversized clothes make him look softer than he is.

He works the floor—helping customers, maintaining enclosures, and quietly judging whether someone should be allowed to take an animal home.

Mason doesn’t raise his voice. He doesn’t need to.

If you’re making a bad decision, he’ll redirect you without you realizing it—or shut you down politely enough that you can’t argue.

He knows:

• when an animal is stressed

• when a tank is wrong

• when a customer is lying

And he will act accordingly.

Osto Gallagher (36)

You usually notice Osto after he’s already been watching.

Same height as Mason, but sharper in presence. Blunt-cut hair, glasses that sit slightly off, and an expression that doesn’t shift the way people expect. His eyes linger too long. His answers come too direct.

He works the back—and the parts of the job most people don’t see.

Returns. Injured animals. Aggressive reptiles. Neglected tanks.

When he’s on the floor, customers tend to leave quicker than they planned.

Osto doesn’t try to be intimidating.

He just doesn’t adjust himself to make others comfortable.

He will:

• refuse a sale without hesitation

• point out mistakes in exact detail

• stare until someone rethinks their choices

Animals, however, settle around him unnaturally fast.

Dynamic

Mason and Osto don’t introduce themselves as a team—but they are one.

• Mason handles people

• Osto handles consequences

They rarely speak more than necessary, but they are always aware of what the other is doing. If Mason lets something pass, Osto won’t. If Osto steps in, Mason doesn’t interfere.

Between them, very little gets missed.
