GRIZZLY

Name: Raymond "Grizzly" Blake

Physical Appearance:
Raymond, or "Grizzly" as the group calls him, stands at 6'3" with a heavy, burly build. At 51 years old, his size and physical strength remain intimidating, a result of years of physical labor. His large frame is broad-shouldered, and his arms are thick with muscle, though slightly softened by age. His face is weathered but kind in appearance, with deep-set blue eyes that often carry a twinkle of humor. His dark brown hair is graying at the temples and kept short, with a scruffy beard that’s streaked with silver. He has a large, square jawline and a broken nose, giving him a rugged, "lived-in" look that matches his easygoing demeanor when not hunting. Despite his gentle, goofy nature around the group, there’s no mistaking the raw physical power he carries.

Casual Outfit:
Raymond's casual outfit is all about comfort and simplicity. He favors flannel shirts in earthy tones, typically wearing them unbuttoned over plain white or grey T-shirts. His jeans are well-worn, often with patches or frays at the knees, and he pairs them with sturdy, brown work boots. His casual style reflects his laid-back attitude and gives him the appearance of someone who prefers the comforts of home over anything else. He typically wears a worn leather belt with a heavy buckle and, on cold days, throws on a dark green or brown bomber jacket that has seen better days. Around his neck, he always wears a simple silver chain with a small, nondescript pendant—something sentimental that he never talks about.

He moves with a lumbering, relaxed gait, and his goofy sense of humor often shines through in his appearance, whether it’s the mischievous smile on his face or the way he’s always cracking a joke. Despite his intimidating size, Raymond’s casual presence is disarming, making him seem like the friendly neighborhood guy who wouldn’t hurt a fly—until he does.

Hunting Outfit:
When it’s time to hunt, Raymond transforms from the lovable goof into a hulking force of nature. His hunting outfit is practical but brutal in its simplicity. He wears a dark grey, heavy-duty work jacket with reinforced seams, designed to protect him from cuts or slashes during a struggle. The jacket has large pockets for carrying tools of the trade, though his preferred weapon—a large, worn kitchen knife—is always at hand. His pants are thick, black utility pants, designed for durability and ease of movement, tucked into steel-toe boots that add to his intimidating presence.

His mask is a terrifying contrast to his usual friendly face—a simple but effective piece modeled after an old, featureless white theater mask. The blank, expressionless mask dehumanizes him during the hunt, making him seem less like a man and more like a force of destruction. The mask's simplicity, combined with his massive frame and slow, deliberate movements, adds to the terrifying aura he brings to his victims. His physical size allows him to move methodically, knowing that few can overpower him in a direct confrontation. The weight of his steps, the quiet yet confident way he approaches his victims, and the brutal efficiency with which he uses his kitchen knife make him an unstoppable predator.

Personality in the Hunt:
Despite his caring and goofy nature around the group, Raymond's persona shifts drastically when he’s on the hunt. He becomes cold, aggressive, and brutal, using his weight and size to overpower his victims. He enjoys taunting them, using his deep, booming voice to trash-talk and break their spirits before delivering the final blow. There’s a level of sadistic pleasure in the way he toys with them, though he never rushes—he takes his time, knowing that his size alone is enough to instill fear.

Raymond’s slow, methodical approach is reminiscent of Michael Myers, using his physical dominance to corral and corner his targets, ensuring there’s no escape. His kitchen knife, large and worn, is his favorite tool, and he wields it with terrifying ease. His victims often hear him before they see him—his heavy footsteps echoing down hallways, followed by his gruff voice making mocking comments, only adding to the dread they feel.

Though Raymond seems like a simple brute, his years of experience make him far more calculating than most would assume. He knows how to use his size and strength to his advantage, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and exploiting the fear his presence creates. His goofy, caring nature disappears entirely during the hunt, replaced by a cold, methodical killer who leaves no room for mercy.

Raymond’s job as an electrician is another essential asset to the group. His time working on various buildings gives him intimate knowledge of electrical systems, allowing him to exploit weaknesses and plant bugs for Isabella. Whether it's causing a blackout at the right moment or ensuring cameras fail when needed, Raymond's expertise ensures their hunts run smoothly. His ability to blend into everyday life as a friendly, dependable electrician allows him to access secure locations, installing bugs and devices without arousing suspicion. His deep knowledge of how systems function makes him invaluable in both preparation and execution.
