 POWER rayson is a Werewolf, Lycan or monster. Several terms have been used through out the ages, but the most modern of course could be considered Werewolf. Every full moon, Gray goes through a painful shift from human to werewolf. Gray is immortal because of this and does not suffer the effects of aging. Despite this though it is still possible to kill Gray by silver bullets or completely beheading him.

When he is not transformed into a werewolf, Gray has accelerated healing when it comes to most injuries. This means that if the wound is extremely severe it could take him longer to heal as opposed to suffering from a minor cut. Gray also has heightened senses, specifically with his hearing and ability to smell. When he is transformed into a werewolf, all of these things are amplified.

Every time a full moon gets close (about a week before), Gray tends to suffer from "wolf-ish" tendencies. This mostly means he's a lot more animalistic and his senses go into overload, as well his accelerated healing is significantly improved (mostly matching what it would be like in his wolf form). At least a week after a full moon though is when Gray is the most vulnerable, because his normally heightened senses have a rapid decline along with his healing.

 APPEARANCE Gray stands around 5"11 and is considered to have a lanky sort of build. He's very skinny and most of his muscles hide under the overly large clothing that he prefers to wear (on his days off, of course). Typically when he is working, Gray will wear a dark blue uniform that could be considered very similar to the clothing that prisoners in the U.S wear. The only difference is that his has a sewn on name tag and is disheveled and stained from years of use.

Gray has shaggy dark brown hair that looks more like one of the mops that he uses than anything else. His hair tends to stick out in random places, although he could tame it if he really tries. His eyes are a light shade of grey and have been known to change color from occasion depending upon his emotion (sometimes an intense yellow if he is angry or upset).

Gray has a mixed heritage, resulting in his skin color being of the light brown variation. Gray also have several scars scattered across his body and even when he is fully clothed it would be easy to see any scars that he may have on his arms or legs. The only scar though that is completely obvious on his face is a thin one that starts on the top left on his forehead and goes over his eyebrow and ends at his eyelid.

 PERSONALITY Gray is quite simply an eccentric prone to bouts of insanity. He will be amiable and kind with you one day and then completely ignore you the next. It is questionable to tell when and if he is feeling angry or upset about anything and it is unknown what sets him off. In any situation where he is quite obviously upset or angry though, it is highly likely he will attack someone instead of walking away. In his human form though, Gray is able to be reasonable with children ('specifically the students of Foresta). This is because he does care for his job and wouldn't want to purposefully injure a child (the same would not apply toward staff or anyone who does not work at Foresta). Basically, if Gray feels threatened or provoked he will retaliate under certain circumstances.

Gray isn't anything special when it comes to fighting though, thanks to the fact that he only relies on his heightened sense and regenerative healing in his human form. Gray is able to take a punch though and is very tenacious in any sort of long or drawn out fight. Even if he does not do too much damage to the other person, it's surprising how long the werewolf can stay on his feet.

Gray is a very flamboyant man as well when it comes to some people, since he has lived for such a long time he prefers the company of both men and women in the romantic sense. He is not very talented at holding down any relationship though and has a terrible tendency of being over aggressive when it comes to flirting. Gray also have a large collection of hobbies and has always enjoyed learning new things, whether they be languages or creating something from his bare hands. The werewolf has a tendency to gravitate toward musical things, such as singing and playing various musical instruments.

 WEAKNESSES If someone were to see Gray shift, he would consider that a weakness in itself. This mostly applies to people that he considers himself close too, but could easily apply to strangers as well. It's an odd quirk for an immortal that normally doesn't care about too much, but the process of shifting from human to wolf is something Gray considers incredibly personal and would prefer if nobody saw it ever (unfortunately a few have from time to time). It's a gruesome experience definitely not for someone with a weak stomach.

As was mentioned before in his personality section, Gray in human form is not necessarily a talented fighter (which is one of the reasons why he has so many scars on his body) and could easily be outmatched by a clever fighter. In terms of brute force though, Gray would have an easier time in a fight.

In wolf form, Gray does not have logical human control of what he does. This means that someone he would typically consider a friend as a human could be mistaken as an enemy in his wolf form. More often than not, Gray also forgets what he does in his wolf form. Those lapses in memory do quite an amount of damage on his sanity sometimes which results in his chaotic personality.

 STRENGTHS Gray is talented at socializing and could be considered quite the musical man. He enjoys experiencing good music and can carry a tune quite exceptionally well. He preferred instruments are the piano and the guitar and has had enough years to become quite talented at using these objects.

Gray is also surprisingly knowledgeable when it comes to media related things and enjoys keeping up on current trends and what's popular at any point in time. He enjoys hearing about celebrities and from time to time can be caught watching cheesy reality shows.

 HISTORY Gray was born in a region of Africa that is now considered Rwanda. His memories of being a human are quite foggy, the only memory that is crystal clear to him being when his whole family was attacked by a pack of werewolves that were closely related to the original werewolf. Gray was the first in his family to turn, unfortunately though his parents didn't make it out alive. The only other survivor he knows of is his older sister, but they lost contact after they both changed.

Where most werewolves cannot recall where their line started in werewolf lineage, Gray is capable of tracing his back only by a handful of people. For the first years of his transitioning into being a werewolf, Grayson went insane and tried to kill himself several times. Through all of these incidents though, it never occurred to him that he could use a silver bullet or even attempt to try and cut off his own head.

It was around the time that he reached 80 in human years that Gray decided to start traveling and was accepting what he was in the process. It was during this time that the werewolf started to pick up learning new languages and musical instruments. A few years before deciding to apply to Foresta for a teaching position, Gray had tried coming to the school as a student. After awhile the restless werewolf decided that he needed to be other places and left the island for quite awhile. Now Grayson has come back and has decided that he wants to settle down for a few years before venturing out into the world again. His logic is quite simply what better place to settle down than on an island? To him, it seemed simple enough to come back to the place that he had enjoyed so many years back.
