Full Name Grayson Duke Felipe
Alias: Gray or Duke
Personal Creed: Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can’t ever hurt me.
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Orientation: Bi, though he’d never admit to anything but straight.
Relationship Status: Single
Family Status: Both parents still alive, living with his father and stepmother, probably has a few siblings running around somewhere.
Is the Character in a Gang/Law Enforcement Agency/ Citizen: Citizen, though he’d like to join a gang someday.
State your Industry and Occupation: Works at McDonalds
Personality: Some people bend and break, snapping under pressure like dry sticks, while others can withstand the building pressure. Grayson had been under pressure from the moment that he was born and with the gradually building tension he was able to bend, adapting himself to the circumstances. That’s exactly how he can be described- adaptable.
A people pleaser who’s learned how to blend in with the shadows, not step on anyone’s toes while still getting things done. Avoiding arguments and disagreements, Grayson prefers hiding himself behind a more dominant characters opinion and cause, fighting for that and putting his all into it to get the approval of someone.
The young man likes working with his own hands and hates doing nothing, sitting around useless, especially not when others are doing something.
His pride keeps him from reaching out to others, never allowing him to accept charities or help from anyone. He wants his problems to stay by himself and for others to think that everything is fine, that he is your normal, everyday teenager and shouldn’t be paid any attention to.
Even with the beatings from his father and the distinct lack of love, Gray managed to turn into a rather friendly young man who just hasn’t really grown into himself just yet, fighting for the wrong causes and for the wrong people’s affection.

Physical Description: Gray stands at 5’9” when he isn’t slouching around, a habit he’s been meaning to break. His body shows the hard work he puts into it, barely a gram of fat on his bones though the roundness of baby fat on his face and the distinct lack of stubble, much to his frustration, take away from the appearance of a tough kid.
He’s got warm brown eyes and dark brown hair that, when it isn’t pushed under a beanie, has a slight wave to it. Usually he can’t be bothered to get it cut, so he keeps it longer, curling at the nape of his neck.
Aside from that, the young man has some scars on his lower back and cigarette burn marks on the soles of his feet, though he doesn’t talk about it.
Usually he wears a casual and relaxed style that often reflects the tight situation that money presents in his family.
Unique Skills and Abilities:
Grayson has no out of the ordinary abilities, unless you count his ability to take matters into his own hands as something unique.
His ability to pick up on the moods of people around him helps him figure out how to deal with situations, diffusing them and often times sorting out others people’s messes for them.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
+ Patience of an angel
+ Can read people well
+ Creative and imaginative person
+ Strong-willed with a good feeling for himself
+ Lying
- Has problems keeping right from wrong
- No education / not very book smart
- Has trouble voicing his own opinions when it’s clearly not the popular opinion
- Would do anything for his parents
- No goals for his future
Weapons: His fists. While he can have a big mouth and talk a good talk, he usually backs down before things actually get violent.
Background History:
Grayson was born in Hawaii to the parents who only had him for the money from the state. The situation at home was a bit difficult; his father left his mother when he was about a year old to live with a much younger model that had children of her own from an earlier marriage. Grayson’s father had gotten custody of the boy and with his little lady of the house, he continued his life.
Grayson never had a normal childhood, learning to take care of himself quickly, forced to become independent at a very young age when the model’s children one by one got old enough to move out, leaving as quickly as they good.
Money was always tight; his father had an alcohol problem while his step mother was often away on jobs, never bringing home enough money to cover all the ends.
To keep anyone from asking any tricky questions, the young boy learned how to blend in and keep people from asking any questions, making sure to pick his father up from the pub when it got late and taking care of the household as good as he could. One day Grayson went into the pub to pick up his father only to have the bartender tell him that they had needed to call an ambulance because of alcohol poisoning. The young boy had been about 15 and even with the beatings and the shouting at home, he still loved his father enough to rush to the hospital, relieved to hear that everything was alright.
After that experience his father stopped drinking, instead picking up a drug habit in which he dragged his wife with promises of a skinnier appearance and a better mood.
Turning a blind eye to it, Grayson dropped out of high school at the age of 17 to support his family, finding a job at the McDonalds nearby and keeping himself busy with that work.
