a character in “Keep It A Secret”, as played by ArgoYamato

Description

Appearance:
Image

Name~ Grant Timothy Onceler
Nicknames~ He generally goes by "Grant", "Onceler", or "Oncey" (The last one is really informal and rarely used).
Gender~ Male
Age~ 21
Affiliation~ Agent
Rank~ Elite Agent 003

Image
Basic Appearance:
Grant is an average sized man standing at about 5'7". He isn't too heavy, weighing around 123 lbs. He has pale blond hair which is occasionally noted to seem white under certain lighting. His eyes are turquoise, many have described them to be the color of the water of the coral reefs--they have a calming effect on certain people. His features are sharp as opposed to curved.
Style:
Typically, Grant doesn't do much to his hair, leaving it unkempt and slightly messy--he claims this to be his style. The man wears glasses most of the time, only on special occasions does he exchange his spectacles for contacts. He wears light colored clothes--usually dress shirts and slacks--under a large jackets which reach his lower thighs. This gives him a sort of bachelor-esque appearance. A unique style trait of his is his cane. Grant always carries around a cane--a specific one--which he claims to give him class.

Likes:
  • Cracking jokes
  • Thinking (Observing) of the Future
  • Attempting to figure out the Future
  • Taking Outdoor Walks (It's relaxing, trust me)
  • Rhyming
  • Winter Weather
  • Eating Fruits and Vegetables

Dislikes:
  • People who are too serious
  • Snobby people
  • Cloudy days
  • Being cooped up in an Office
  • Being alone
  • Ghosts
  • Howling of wolves

Personality:
Grant is generally an overly jovial guy who enjoys cracking jokes and the occasional sarcastic comment. He is a pretty sociable character and enjoys spending time with other people, conversing random topics--he enjoys talking of life the most. He often seems confused and isn't too familiar with pop culture topics. Grant amuses himself by rhyming at the most random of times--this often gets on the nerves of the other people around him. Another habit of his is showing up at the homes of others uninvited, though this has more to do with him getting lost--or so he claims--and just having been nearby at the time. These habits either amuse or annoy others, however, he makes up for this with his many, many talents--it practically seems like he knows everything (I know a little of most things, nothing special...).

Despite his claims, the guy is extremely intelligent and never—ever—makes a move without thinking carefully ahead of time. He is a great tactician and has a decent sense of moral and honor in combat (I typically play fair, but hey--life ain't fair--, sometimes you just have to do what you need to do). Emotions play little to no role in his decisions and this lack of emotions makes him seem extremely cold to people at times, however, he is notably charismatic. He manipulates many stratagems from the olden days—well, older than the present day. He rarely makes the same mistake twice.

Grant ponders a lot--and he enjoys it. He is constantly question things and seeking answers. He often trails off and either leaves whatever he is doing to return to his not-extravagant home and stare at his Koi-fish pond--which helps him concentrate--or begins twirling his cane.

History~
Well, my story belongs a little while back...

As a kid, I moved around with my family quite a lot--I was born in Hong Kong, China to a family which already had one boy. I lived there until I was about four. That's where I learned my Mandarin and Cantonese. When I turned five, and my younger brother was born, my family moved to Great Britain where we stayed for the next seven years. During that time, I learned my English. As soon as my younger brother was old enough to leave, we moved to the U.S.A.--why? I'm not particularly sure. But, the point is, we moved.

I first head about the agency when I was 17 and, nearly instantly, I was intrigued. After graduating from secondary school, I immediately proceeded to join and that is how I got to where I am today!


Image
Powers:
Divination Sight~ At any given time, Grant can look into the future--the distance into the future has a maximum of a week and can be as little as a second. This ability, however, is never absolute. Grant can merely see many of the possible futures and can never be sure of what is the true future. His sight proves useful in tactical strategics as well as in real-time combat as it allows him to make higher level predictions as to what an opponent's next maneuver will be. When utilized, this ability causes Grant's turquoise eyes to flash a bright sky blue.
Elemental Air~ Another useful power which Grant learned to manipulate long before he mastered his Divination Sight. This is a very versatile ability which he manipulates to increase his own speed and mobility--a deadly combination with his Divination Sight. Grant also manipulates this ability to form mirages and illusions by altering the way light reflects upon the air around objects. He can summon winds and use air currents as razors--this idea was based on the idea of erosion.

Weapons:
Image
Image
His cane is his primary weapon. Grant is a skilled fencer and, to put this ability to use, he uses a specially manufactured cane which conceals a blade on the inside. This blade is often used in tandem with his Air Manipulation and can launch whip-like air waves with high cutting potential. The main idea of the blade can be seen on the left, while the handle design--that of a dragon--can be seen on the right.

Equipment:
  • His Cane--as earlier described, it also functions as a sword
  • A One-Handed Black Sword--this is separate from his cane and is only used for special, important occasions
  • His Trench Coat--I actually own three special coats that are made of Bullet/Projectile proof material.

So begins...

(OOC:Sorry about not posting in a while, school work started being a hastle. And I'm going to make a quick time skip so the agents could finally post, other than that the post is going to be short and I'll update it tonight. And for the posting anyone is free to keep the story flowing if they want."

Arrow stood up as Sterling walked out of the room. He stepped towards the door and gave his fellow Blessed a signal of goodbye and walked out. As he stepped towards the stairs he noticed there were more than a few unfamiliar faces in the crowd, people he had never even seen at the school a day in his life. "So what's this about?" Arrow thought to himself as he looked around and kept on walking. Turning a corner he accidently bumped into teo people he knew too well. They were friend's of his. Grant and Sarah laughed as they looked up to the see the semi-short boy looking at them with a smile and a cheesy grin. "Sorry about that guys."

It had been a chilly, snowy morning--Horrid weather, many people said. Personally, Grant Onceler didn't agree. Winter wasn't much of a problem; if you were cold, you could simply throw on some more clothes--he didn't see much sense in those characters who dressed skimpily then proceeded to shiver and complain. Grant grinned as a rhyme came to mind, If you want to keep your heat, wear attire that's complete, or find someone to hug--someone sweet.The Agent-training also helped but... That's aside from the point.

Aside from the winter cold, today was pretty much like any other day. Watching over "the Blessed" was the task--simple enough, albeit slightly boring.

After arriving at the school, the golden haired man had proceeded to seek out the other Agents as well as members of the "the Blessed". This was how he typically went about in the mornings.

Typically, however, Grant would meet up with Agent Yoochun first--they were good friends and, if anyone had received news of a change in the mission, it would be Yoochun. That wasn't the case today; he had found Sarah, a fellow agent, instead. Sarah Woods was a younger agent with darker hair and a slightly darker attitude. It wasn't that Grant didn't like her--Deities, don't tell her that--, it was just that he was slightly afraid of her.

In any case, the blond man wanted to find his friend and had been about to inquire as to Yoochun's whereabouts when, while turning a corner, he ran into Arrow--one of "the Blessed" as well as one of Grant's friends.

Looking at his dark haired friend, Grant couldn't help but smile. To him, "the Blessed" were just like normal people. Normal people with special powers, yes, but still normal. The breathed like normal people--excluding those who could breath under water--, talked like normal people--excluding those who had persuasive powers--, walked like normal people--excluding those who could fly like birds--, and were even clumsy like normal people.

Grant laughed as he twisted his cane in left palm, regaining his balance in the process. "What a way to start the day." Then, unable to resist the urge to rhyme, the blond man asked, "Arrow, are you quite okay?"

#, as written by Engetsu
Yoochun walked slowly through the snow in his normal attire of no more than a half-buttoned shit and his khaki pants. He came to a stop and exhaled in relief as he looked upon the school building with a bit of contempt in his eyes.
So this is where those Blessed are.
He thought to himself as his eyes scoured the locationing. He took in every detail that could help him in any type of situation, best ways to escape, the best areas for his abilities and style of fighting. A small smirk appeared on his face as he continued to walk towards the building. His eyes traced upwards slowly as he watched the snow fall and the sky slowly creep past.
"When will this weather end i wonder...AND WHY WAS I LEFT BEHIND BY THAT DAMN GRANT!!!"
He yelled to himself, several students looked at him with puzzled looks. He forced a small smile and waved politely to them until they looked away.
