History: Born into a life without privilege, Grant has fought for survival since the age of eight. His mother passed before the crash due to an overdose on narcotics; his father abandoned him in pursuit of a gambling life (which turned in his favor after he'd been brutally mugged and shot). Grant learned street-smart survival from a loving companion who'd preferred to have been called Bud. (Bud was a slightly aged Marine retiree who'd chosen to be homeless.) Bud not only trained him in hand-to-hand combat but also cooking, medical care, and even weapons usage. Grant received basic education but never was properly educated. The start of the event had not been too startling to Grant and Bud, seeing that they already had experience as well as not badly injured economically. Having been in the subways all of his life, Grant was tragically changed after Bud was killed in the process of an underground riot. From then on, Grant used knowledge to continue survival and has been doing well... but hopes to remain that way.
