#gris rhythm

Gris is, as I anticipated this question, genetically altered. I wanted this to be a spoiler type thing later, but I get asked this quite often. So I’ll break it down here.I can’t quite recall the exact sort, but Animal cloning is a legit thing we’ve successfully done.

With that, and the fact that we have Penny, a functioning Android with a semblance, as well as a machine that can transfer someone’s being, as seen at the Fall of Beacon, I got to thinking. We have mad scientists, and I had an oc for that already, who had genetically altered an embryo to create a super soldier, for kicks and giggles this was mad into a rat faunus.

I’ll try to keep it short and to emit as many details as I can for future comic stuff, but essentially, Gris’s parents were part of a Team from Beacon, Team Magi. One was a faunus, his name is Azure, and he was from Vacuo. The other was a human named Myst, from Vale. They met, and after many years of hunting together, decided to settle down.

Around this time, Azure began to feel pressured under the prejudice against faunus. Since Myst was already pregnant at the time, Azure went behind her back, and enlisted the help of Bianca Beryl, my scientist from earlier. He was able to convince her to try and modify his unborn child. It was high risk, but could be done. He convinced her, because Myst mentioned silver eyes being far back in her family line, primarily Neima Rhythm. 

Bianca took this as a challenge, having heard fleeting rumors of the potential of Silver eyes. Lying to Myst about the state of their child, Binaca was able to adjust the genes as she pleased, additionally pushing her boundaries, such as strengthening the body, altering it’s growth and overall potential. She added a secondary trait not only to test herself, but to also, if she succeeded, to repulse the parents to giving up their child so she may have a silver eyed super soldier. ( Since everyone knows faunus can’t have more than one trait, how would the common people react to this? )

She succeeded. But Myst found out a little while after the embryo was replanted to her womb, and after destroying the Silver Eye gene samples in the lab, fled. Azure hasn’t been able to find her, or Gris.

Gris is, when I tag him as such, an actual abomination. We actually see this conflict come up with his team, his mother, and himself later on~

Myst didn’t want Gris to pursue being a Huntsman at first, since she didn’t want Azure or Bianca finding him. But, he wanted that growing up, and after some thought, figured he may as well know how to protect himself, and he would be better off for it with the innate potential anyways.

Hence why he’s even a Huntsman at all~

So, obvious hints to his being an abomination is his body, he’s very balanced overall, almost androgynous, he seems to heal at least 1/4 of the rate faster than a normal person’s body would allow. He’s constantly aware of his surroundings with a keen awareness due to his heightened senses. He has the silver eyed gene, and two traits.

How he moves is light, delicate even without even making a sound. He’s unnatural, and most people can pick up that he isn’t quite faunus, but he isn’t not one either. So it unnerves a lot of people, to his dismay.
