There is no piece of fat on his cut muscle, but his frame hides the fact that he is way stronger than he looks. Standing at 6'4, and about 210 lbs, Grant is one of the few in the world that define peak physical condition for the human body. His hair is dark like his father's, but with grey hairs to signify some age. He always keeps a five o'clock shadow on his face, but shaves it off for occasions. Normally he wears his black jacket to cover most of him whenever he walks around in public as well as to hide his costume. At social events for his 'target' he breaks out a suit once in awhile.<br/><br/>== Persona ==<br/>Grant likes to not stick out in crowds, but when he's talking to someone he's always smiling and shaking hands. Sometimes he'd get aggressive when someone bothers him too much. He normally would speak in a calm manner out of costume as to not attract attention. When he dons the Red-X costume, he becomes cheeky and likes to provoke people that engage him in combat. Sometimes he even resorts to slapstick comedy. He likes to use puns, jokes, and everything between mainly because he likes to have fun while he steals priceless artifacts or jewels. But when it comes down to it, sometimes Grant finds a single moment of empathy where he finds himself saving someone from danger. He likes being a thief, but he sometimes can't help but be a hero.<br/><br/>== Key Skills ==<br/><br/><strong>Hand-to-hand:</strong>Grant trained in the military combat styles at a young age, but took classes in Krav Maga on his off time. Mixing the two together while learning Muay Thai later in his life, Grant finds himself confident against many combatants. Especially when it's been tested multiple times in combat. He's not a fair fighter though.<br/><br/><strong>Infiltration:</strong>Grant used to be good at kicking down doors in his old mission days, but later on learned that espionage and stealth are his favorite tools when it comes to stealing. No door nor security system could stop him from entering. He's learned lock-picking, minor hacking of uptodate security, and even has an array of tools that open vault doors.<br/><br/><strong>Escape Artist:</strong>Grant prides himself in never been caught by heroes whenever they find him trying to steal something. Sure Grant may trip an alarm or two, but Grant would always find a way to escape from the scene of the crime.<br/><br/><strong>Acrobatic:</strong>Sometimes it takes a nimble body and agility to infiltrate a building. It takes even more of that to escape and run across roof tops. Being an experienced thief, Grant has come time rely on his enhanced body to soar through the air without fear.<br/><br/><strong>Expert Marksman:</strong>Grant rarely misses his target. Training himself in knife throwing and learned how to use a rifle back in his days in the Army, Grant has been quite gifted with his ranged skills with throwing stars and knives.<br/><br/>== Advantages ==<br/><strong>Physical/Mental Augmentation:</strong>Following in his father's footsteps, Grant had underwent modification to strengthen every part of himself as his dad did before. They succeeded in doing so thus making Grant as strong and fast as Deathstroke.<br/><br/><strong>Power suit:</strong>Grant's suit is powered by Xenothium, which helps augment his strength and speed even further beyond as well as add strange technology to his suit that is rarely seen anywhere else. Many people hunt Grant for the suit to at least understand the genius behind it.;<br/><br/><strong>Limit Less resources:</strong>Grant, in all his years of thieving, has established lines of information gathering, a safe supply of Xenothium that hasn't been compromised, and loads of money he's made from successful jobs.<br/><br/>== Disadvantages ==<br/><strong>Loner:</strong>Grant prefers to work alone despite having worked with heroes before in times of crisis. But Grant would bite back if someone ever gave him an order. Someone could give him a suggestion and he might follow through it, but orders are not his to take.<br/><br/><strong>Familial ties:</strong>Grant always finds a way to forward money to his mother, his son, and siblings to keep them safe and secure. He wouldn't stop himself if someone ever hurt anyone of these people. He cares little for his father though.<br/><br/><strong>Recovering amnesia:</strong>Due to the experiments he underwent, Grant received amnesia later on in life. Slowly, pieces of his life returned but the memories of him becoming a 'super-soldier' are still the haziest.<br/><br/>== Background ==<br/><br/>Grant was born in 1963 to Slade and Adeline Wilson. As a military brat, the best was expected of him from both his father and his mother. He ate healthy and did sports at a young age. When he was young, his father was sent out to war. At the time, Grant couldn't understand what his father was doing but it meant he was out of the picture for awhile. His father went under experimentation while he was out at war, but returned comatose for awhile. Around that time, Grant's brother Joseph was born. When his father awoke, he tried to reapply for the military, but was refused. Grant, growing up in the military life, decided to finish what his father started and applied himself.<br/><br/>Grant was an infantryman like his father and was deployed most of the time. When he was back in the states, Grant was one of the few who signed up for Krav Maga classes when it was just hitting the states in the 1980s. Becoming one of the most highly decorated soldiers in a non-wartime era, Grant was asked to volunteer in a recreation of a project that his father was once apart of. Taking this chance to become one step closer to his father, Grant accepted and was taken away from his family. The project was dubbed "Project Ravenger" which was spearheaded by scientist that would later form project Cadmus. They were told that he died in the project, but in fact he lived and fell into the same coma as his father once had. Waking up, Grant was a success, but at the cost of amnesia. He escaped from the facility with ruthless abandon and found himself in the outside world. Starving and on the streets, Grant stole food to survive. He found himself enjoying the thrill of stealing and began targeting bigger and bigger targets.<br/><br/>First it was money, then it was pieces of art from galleries that he knew he could fence. Then, one day, he met a scientist by the name of Professor Chang. The man was an arms dealer like no other. Utilizing science and technology, Professor Chang created new and innovative weapons to sell to whoever would buy. Finding Grant fascinating, Professor Chang was inspired to make a suit that would enhance Grant even more than he already was. To repay for the suit and fuel, Grant would steal pieces of equipment Professor Chang required to modify the suit and his other projects. Suddenly, one day, Professor Chang tried to capture Grant in order to program him to do his bidding. Grant didn't take to kindly to this and tried to escape. In the end he was captured, but when Professor Chang tried to reprogram his mind, most of Grant's memories came flooding back with a reckless abandon. With new found strength, Grant killed Professor Chang and tried to reunite with his family.<br/><br/>Once he found out his brother was a mute because of his father and his mother was left alone after the divorce, Grant almost revealed that he was alive to them. Then he stopped himself. He remembered he was a criminal on high profile that people were searching for. He couldn't drag them into his life. Later on, after searching for his father for answers, Grant stumbled upon the fact that he had a sibling fathered from another mother. Grant, who found it in his heart to care for the child, began to forward money mysteriously to the mother for the child to be raised. He's kept tabs on his family sense. He even fathered his own child from a night of passion which he pays child-support under the table.<br/><br/>One day, the press expressed awareness of a thief who wore a costume with a red X on it. Finding the name catchy, Grant wore the identity of Red-X and has clashed with heroes sense. He's even fought Batman once who proved to be his biggest challenge, but managed to escape without capture. Sometimes, in times that Grant remembers he has a heart, he would aid heroes to fight villains who have the idea of terrorizing the city he would operate in. He was even offered to join said heroes and become a hero himself, but Grant likes money too much to do so. Maybe one day he could become a hero that his family would be proud of. But for now, his child needs food on his table.<br/><br/>== Character Extras =<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Cue the music</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMf7WyKwHbw</div></div><br/><br/>= Face Claim: =<br/>Frank Grillo<br/><br/>Ons: same as players (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=170360.0)<br/><br/>Offs: same as players (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=170360.0)
