Aura Color:

Turquoise

Physical Description:

Grayson possesses a noticeably tall, svelte physique. His parted, tousled hair is a cool charcoal color at the roots but gradually becomes white at the tips. People consider Grayson to be very attractive. However, insightful people tend to notice a dark, cold look in his turquoise eyes. Grayson has a light porcelain skin tone free of marks, scars or blemishes.

Outfit Description:

Grayson often sports a stylish monochrome outfit consisting of a white dress shirt with a black tie, a black bridge coat, black slacks, black dress shoes, and a pair of black leather gloves. During the warmer months of the year, Grayson forgoes the coat, and replaces the leather gloves with gloves of a more breathable material while maintaining the same color. However, he will begrudgingly wear the standard school uniform if the dress code is enforced, but will still insist on wearing his signature gloves.

Personality Description:

Grayson is the type of person who believes the ends justify the means. His morals are flexible, yet he prefers to maintain an upstanding reputation. Grayson has an affinity for luxury clothes and watches, mostly since they look sleek and fashionable, but also because Grayson values sophistication and status. Grayson also possesses a keen mind and a sharp wit, and usually opts for the most efficient path to success in any situation. He is also very confident in himself, sometimes bordering on arrogance. Despite this, his confidence and competence make him an effective, charismatic leader.

On the other hand, Grayson’s tendency to be efficient can make him seem insensitive to other’s feelings. He can also come off as stubborn, causing him to butt heads with people who also possess dominant personalities. However, Grayson can mitigate these flaws, as his personality is as malleable as hot metal. He is crafty, and can act or deceive people convincingly most of the time, a natural byproduct of his upbringing. Grayson can be especially secretive around people he doesn’t know well.

Backstory Highlights:

Grayson Albus Luminum was born and raised in the city of Atlas by his parents Floyd Luminum and Zelda Luminum. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Grayson enjoyed the numerous comforts of luxury that comes with being in a rich family, thanks to his father being the CEO of an Atlas-based Dust Mining Company, and his mother having connections to the top brass of the Atlesian military due to her military service. However, their marriage was one more so based on political opportunism rather than a loving relationship, so affection between them was scarce. During his childhood, Grayson was enrolled into the most prestigious private schools and received the most experienced tutors Atlas had to offer.

As Grayson attended school in his formative years, Floyd used his time amassing a political following. Floyd’s rhetoric was forceful and persuasive, yet it was also full of lies and empty promises, like many other politicians. Zelda took on a more direct role in her son’s life by teaching him the art of combat. During one sparring session, Grayson awakened his Semblance around the age of thirteen, aptly named Bioforge. Unlike Zelda, Grayson gravitated to the smaller, subtler weapons, noting he was “much like his father” in that regard, yet still possessing the aptitude to make something out of his combat skills. Zelda insisted that Grayson do something with his martial skills, such as becoming a Huntsman. Floyd, however, pressured Grayson into using his Semblance for more… insidious means.

Floyd was furious after the results of the most recent voting poll were released, having lost the vote by a slim margin to his opponent. It was at this point Floyd decided to take drastic measures in the next election. He took advantage of Grayson’s Semblance to tip the next election in his favor. Floyd coerced his seventeen year old son into performing heinous acts of electoral fraud. Hacking into the electronic voting systems and general tampering were the primary methods used to tip the vote into his father’s favor, while Floyd himself disenfranchised the voter groups who would vote for his political opponent. As a result of their combined efforts, Floyd won the next election in a landslide.

The crimes the pair committed did not go unnoticed, however. About two years after the last election, information about the electoral fraud came to light. Though Grayson was still involved, nearly all the evidence pointed to his father. The wrathful masses protested against their corrupt leader, forcing Floyd to step down from his position. During this chaos, Zelda sent Grayson out of the Kingdom of Atlas. The safest option was to send her son to Vale while she did her best to cover up Grayson’s trail of evidence back home. He was sent to live with a close family friend in the city of Vale, Denver Argus. Upon hearing the situation, Denver agreed to take Grayson under his wing for the time being.

Grayson laid low for a year whilst the chaos back home settled. He had been keeping in regular contact with Zelda during this time. She told her son that the best thing he could do would be to apply to Beacon Academy, and make a name for himself as a Huntsman. Grayson deliberated for a long time over this decision. Becoming a Huntsman would get him the prestige and recognition that he felt he deserved, and he already had a Semblance. Plus, none of the evidence back home pointed to him yet, so applying as soon as possible was probably his best option. The only catch was his surname, as it was tied to the recent controversy back home. Grayson decided that using a different name would be best to prevent anything getting linked back to him. He would apply under the name of Grayson Argus, doctoring his documents as needed to match his new name and prevent anything linking him to the prior events.

Occupation:

Student (former Criminal)

Education:

Grayson was educated in the best Atlesian private schools until his father entered the political scene. At that point, he was suddenly withdrawn from school and homeschooled by his parents. This homeschooling specialized in combat, politics, acting, stenography, psychology, sociology, anatomy, and physiology.

Semblance Name:

Bioforge

Semblance Description:

Bioforge is a Semblance that turns his body either invisible or into a “living metal” armor. The first ability his Semblance is capable of is that Grayson can become visually invisible. Grayson is able to change how his Aura interacts with light. Thus, he is able to have light pass through him which renders him visually undetectable. However, movement seems to disrupt his Aura’s ability to maintain invisibility. For example, a slow walking speed seems to give him a perceptible visible outline, noticeable from a short distance. Jogging seems to have Grayson appear translucent or ghostlike, whereas running or sprinting makes maintaining invisibility impossible. The invisibility extends to anything Grayson is wearing or holding, although this seems to be limited to objects he can hold easily with one hand. While invisible in this way, Grayson’s vision becomes very sensitive to bright light while also giving him superior low light vision.

The second ability Bioforge is capable of is that he is able to turn his body into “living metal armor”, exponentially increasing his strength and durability at the cost of speed and agility. In addition to slowing him down a bit, it also multiplies his weight, becoming three times heavier. While this ability is active, Grayson’s entire body takes on a metallic sheen which remains constant while armored. Grayson can control how much of his body becomes armored, and can make it so only a hand or foot becomes armored if desired. However, he does not benefit from his Aura’s natural protection when fully armored. Additionally, extreme heat and cold will denature the physical structure of the armor, making the armor ineffective in such temperatures.

Weapon Name:

GoldEye Mark 7

Weapon Description:

GoldEye Mark 7 is a silenced pistol that can transform into a combat knife. Designed for subtle undertakings, the silencer was made to reduce the noise of firing and eliminate recoil as much as possible. The double stacked magazine can hold up to fifteen 9mm bullets in a staggered fashion.

Other Gear:

- A bag of caltrops
- A bag of metal ball bearings
- An ostentatious fountain pen
- Normal and invisible ink for the fountain pen

Fighting Style:

Grayson is usually loath to fight in melee unless he resorts to Bioforge to become armored. Grayson prefers to use stealth and subterfuge, and only fights as a last resort. When he does have to fight, he is very skilled in hand to hand combat, and knife fighting. Grayson is also a skilled marksman with pistols. His hand to hand combat style is fast and brutal, relying on strikes to vital or sensitive areas of the body to quickly and effectively disable an opponent.

Strengths:

- Adaptive: Grayson possesses an uncanny ability to improvise on the fly in any situation. This skill is equally applicable and useful in everyday life and in combat situations.

- Charismatic: Grayson has a strong force of personality, causing others to naturally gravitate towards him.

- Pragmatic: Grayson doesn’t bog down his thoughts with ideals, allowing him to focus on the end result as opposed to the means used to reach his goals.

Weaknesses:

- Callous: Grayson’s tendency to be efficient can make him come off as insensitive to the feelings of others. He usually does not possess any malice in his way of thinking, it’s just that he prioritizes rationality over emotions.

- Stubborn: Grayson’s determination to do what he wants can put him at odds with other people with dominant personalities. If he believes he is right, he won’t let anyone stand in his way.

- Impatient: Grayson does not like to wait around for things, and wants immediate feedback for his actions.

Likes:

- Luxury clothing and accessories
- Puzzles and mysteries
- Spy fiction
- Sophistication and status

Dislikes:

- Getting his hands dirty (hence why he wears gloves)
- Slow learners
- Incompetence
