GARY FORREST GRANT
Never wanted to be the boy next door
Always thought I'd be something more
But it ain't easy for a small town boy
It ain't easy at all
Thinkin' it right and doin' it wrong
Never wanted to be the boy next door
Always thought I'd be something more
But it ain't easy for a small town boy
It ain't easy at all
Thinkin' it right and doin' it wrong

He has a very odd dark side to him and it shows in what he wears. Still he does care about fashion so what he does wear usually is at least in style.
Distinguishing Marks or Physical Traits: His body is covered in tattoos almost like an addiction. Going from his thigh to his shoulder blade on his right side he has his body covered in tattoos of different shapes, mostly lines, and different messages that mostly only make sense to him. He is also constantly getting more.
On his left side of his body is a smaller tattoo but still very large, it’s a series of lines that are more artistic then meaningful. All of the tattoos are the color black.

Overall Personality:
Gary is a bit of a wannabe, it starts with him looking up to his brother perhaps a bit too much and wishing he was him. Because of that he grew up his whole life following everything his brother did and while following he picked up a few bad habits such as selling out to easily and caring to much what other people think about him. He’s a little vein and a little self centered, sure that the world revolves around him and when people aren’t paying attention to him he’ll do something good or bad to get their attention. Sometimes he over tries and he’s not that popular, even if he is a self-described jock, because he has a lot of anti-social personality traits.
Still that doesn’t mean everyone hates him. He has a lot of friends and tires to keep his friends close; he’s just not friends with everyone. Almost like he’s walking around looking for trouble he hates the police for always arresting him over things that are clearly illegal, and he always seems to be wanting to get into a fight with somebody, even if he had no chance of winning. He’s very sarcastic in everything he says but often that can turn out to be very humorous for the right sense of humor. What his exact problem is people aren’t to sure but perhaps it’s just he needs to learn to grow up his own way and deal with life the best he can. Often people are scared to hang around him because he’s most probably being trying to cause some sort of trouble. He would do a lot better at school, he’s a smart guy, if he ever cared to pay attention in class. He’s also very imaginative and often people hang around him just because he’s always guaranteed to do something crazy or memorable.
Because he’s not simply black and white although many assume he is from his childish nature he acts around them he can be really caring. He’ll often do charity work and because of his childish mind he can often be really good around children. The best job he ever did was a camp counselor one summer. Although many tell him to go into daycare as a career he doesn’t want to do that because it doesn’t sound manly enough. Often he’ll try to impersonate his brother’s career and his brother went and became a proud marine, something he wants to do now to.

Overall History:
Gary grew up in Scottsville, Kentucky, where he was born, for most of his life while looking up to his big bother. His life was pretty normal at first growing up. His father was a truck driver and he would barley see the man, when he did see him the guy was usually drunk. His mother raised the two of them well mostly on her own the entire time.His father started to work less and be home more often as his drinking problems got worse until he eventually lost his job. With his father constantly around the once quite family turned very loud. Their father was destructive, mean, condescending, but worst of all abusive, the only real good protection he had was his brother.
Entering into junior high his only protection and guy he looked up to his whole life left the house and joined the marines. This gave Gary a lot of different emotions. While he thought it was the coolest thing his brother could ever do and was proud of him, without his brother now around to protect him he was defenseless against his father. While his brother was off learning how to shoot a gun at people he doesn't know Gary was off learning how to hot wire cars and steal from shopping malls for clothing. He became really slick at what he did and although he often worked with gangs, he never officially worked for a gang, never liking the idea of working for one organization and having no freedom. Gary picked up different trades when working with people and was a very quick person to learn new things, especially mechanisms or electronics.
Gary one time went a little to far. Two years ago he stole an expensive sport vehicle and tried to sell it to a gang. The vehicle had a GPS system installed for moments like this when it was stolen and Gary was caught red handed in the act. When Judas went to Iraq he went to prison. Spending a year in juvenile prison Gary became a new person, specifically he knew it was a eat or be eaten world so he got involved in sports and working out to keep himself tough and busy. After spending a year there he went back home. By this point his father had a job truck driving again and was barley home but one day when he was home and very drunk he tried to beat Gary and Gary fought back for the first time. Getting kicked out of the house but still going to high school he needed to find somewhere to live. His brother got a job in New York City, fresh back from Iraq, and asked to live with him. Surprisingly his brother said yes which puts him where he is now.
