greyson bennett

NAME: Greyson Bennett

AGE: 22

GENDER: male

RACE: white (Italian and German descent)

HOMETOWN: Los Angeles, California

ZODIAC SIGN: Scorpio

SEXUALITY: straight

APPEARANCE:

Greyson is quite tall, standing at around 6ft 3. He has honey blonde hair that he constantly has to swipe out of his face and slate grey eyes. Some of his most notable facial features are his thick brows, freckles that dust his nose and cheeks, and a substantial gap between his two front teeth. He also has a scar that cuts into the bottom left side of his lip, evidence of the trouble he gets himself into. He needs glasses but is embarrassed by them, so he often wears contacts. There are also burn marks and scars all over him. He has a few tattoos, one of a snake along his spine and another one of his little brother's hockey number (13) on his collarbone over his chest. His little brother was one of the first to vanish, and he got the tattoo to remember him by.

PERSONALITY:
Greyson is highly intelligent, but has always been a huge troublemaker. He masks his insecurities and distracts himself from his inner turmoil by getting into fights and starting trouble. Sometimes he feels like his intelligence is a curse because it makes it hard for others to understand him, and he often feels alone in the world because he is so guarded and closes himself off.

BACKSTORY:
Greyson was born to a family with a kind mother, alcoholic father, and innocent little brother named Ben. Growing up, he would often protect his mother and brother by taking on the majority of his father's anger. When his father was killed in a DUI, he became the rock of the family, but got into lots of trouble. Hockey became an outlet for him, and both he and Ben bonded over it. Greyson never did well in school because he was always causing trouble and never applying himself fully, but when he received a perfect score on his SAT he was offered a full ride scholarship to Stanford where he became part of a research team that solved complex equations.
His little brother was one of the first to vanish, and news of his disappearance absolutely crushed Greyson. His nightmares began to worsen and he spiraled into a dark place. When he finds himself stuck inside the nightmare realm, he can't help but think that this is where Ben vanished to. It becomes his mission to find him again.

FEARS: (at least 5)
1. His intelligence being used for destruction (he is afraid that the equations he solves will be used to create terrible weapons)
2. Becoming like his father
3. Intimacy
4. Wasps
5. Aerophobia (fear of poison gas like carbon monoxide)
6. Being burned

CORE VIRTUE: intelligence

POWER: mind manipulation (he can infiltrate the minds of others to relay messages, create illusions, and eventually control their actions. However, when he enters someone's mind a piece of them stays inside of him.)
