Name: Griceron

Codename: N/A

Age: 34 (Approximately)

Sex: Male

Source of Powers: Training/Nature

Specialty: Close Combat

Description of Powers: Griceron has a slight amount of control over the flow of kinetic energy in his surroundings. While on its own this does not allow much power when used in junction with martial arts it is very effective, basically allowing him to increase the impact of a blow. Other than its application in martial arts its main use is allowing a small amount of control over the air around him.

Powers gained by: training. While the ability to manipulate kinetic energy is inherent in his race without proper training it is all but powerless. Even after years of training Griceron is only mediocre in his level of control. His strength in Martial Arts, however, is quite potent, even without the use of his powers. His style is one originating from his homeland and focuses mainly on crippling blows. When used with his powers it allows him to focus the impact on a particular spot while keeping the force from spreading out.

History: Griceron was raised by his mother in his homeland up until age 14, when he entered mandatory military service. He served the mandatory 6 years without ever seeing combat. The time in the military benefited Griceron by teaching him his form of martial arts as well as better control over his abilities. It was after serving that he joined an abolitionist group. His race had enslaved another on their planet, the enslaved race being different in that they lack horns, wings, and abilities. Many abolitionist rallies were held in the capital city peacefully, but during one demonstration violence broke out. Griceron fought with the city guard and managed to escape, but was later captured at the group's headquarters. Charged with opposing the mainstream and with attacking the city guard he was found guilty and sentenced to planetary exile. Using portal technology they sent those with that sentence to various inhabitable realities. Out of his group Griceron was the only one sent to Earth. Soon after arriving he was captured by the U.S. government for study. While in the government facility he learned English and a bit about his new planet. After a few years at a government facility he managed to escape and continue his fight against all forms of oppression (which of course includes being held in a government facility without having committed a crime). Of course, looking slightly demonic he tended to do so at night. One evening after stopping a mugging he had a chance encounter with Viseur, who had been watching, and after a time joined the Underground.

Other Details: Griceron has wings spanning 15 feet. They are similar to bat wings and sometimes appear to be on fire, but this is mearly due to a distortion of the light being reflected. He has an odd accent, and considers many things, culturally, to be counter-intuitive. He completely covers his face, and whole body for that matter. His skin is pitch black while his nails and places where bone protrudes, such as his horns and parts of his wings, are an electric blue.
