Gravity

## Description

Gravity, whose real name is Alex, is a young mercenary who has special gifts.

## Characteristics

Gravity's right arm and right leg are made of ice, the product of his distant relative, Richard Brimsey. His hair is parted—the left side being a teal color and the right side being a lime green color, both matching his hair. He usually wears a hoodie, which fades from white to black, and the jeans he usually wears are black.

## Personality

Gravity is an out-going guy. As a child, he was quiet and reserved, all throughout his life under Brimsey. Before the gaining of his ice limbs, Gravity was known to have violent tendencies, perhaps a product of his counterpart Inertia. After his guardian's passing, however, he suddenly changed, becoming a nicer and good-humored man.

## Past

Gravity was born with an unnoticed counterpart within his mental landscape. The counterpart is called Inertia, who we see, first, in chapter eight. Sometimes, Gravity's parents would notice that, at odd times, he would suddenly change personalities. This would be whenever Inertia decides to take over. When Gravity was merely eleven years old, his parents were slaughtered. He vaguely remembers whenever it happened, and it was him. For the longest time, he thought that it was him who murdered his own parents, but, when he meets Inertia, he realizes that it was Inertia who murdered his parents. This causes Gravity to resent Inertia.

After the brutal event of his parents' massacre, Gravity was taken in by a distant relative, Richard Brimsey. Brimsey was unfriendly and unapproachable most, if not all, of the time, which made Gravity resent his life and the situation he was in even more. Brimsey tried his best to avoid the child, seeing him as a bad omen.

Shortly after the incident, a month after, Brimsey forced Gravity to wear a theater (comedy) mask. Gravity never took it off after attempting to do it once, getting heavily reprimanded for it. This habit endured throughout most of his life, and he only took it off for the second time in his life in chapter nine, where he willingly shows his face to Encrypted.

On Gravity's twelfth birthday, he was greeted with a party that was not meant for him. There was no cake, no presents, and no "happy birthday" from friends and family. He left the party and met Encrypted, who wanted to get away from the drunken, rich people, just as Gravity. Gravity receives a gift from Encrypted, and they become best friends.

Gravity, shortly, gains his ice limbs from Brimsey, after having bursts of rage and violence.

When Encrypted leaves for boarding school, unwillingly cutting off all contact with Gravity, Gravity resorts to violence. He does not kill by contract, like he does now; he instead killed people and robbed them for drug money.

When Gravity was nineteen-years-old, Richard Brimsey passed away, ultimately freeing him from the desolate life he previously lived. This event causes him to resort back to a more peaceful state of mind, since his worries are (almost) all gone. He finds Encrypted again, shortly, and they team up. Gravity works as a mercenary under Encrypted, only killing people who truly deserve it or have a large price on their head.

## Power(s)

Gravity has the power of ice, which might have been given to him due to his ice limbs.

### Physical Abilities

* **Ice Slam:** Ice slam is when Gravity uses his Ice Sword and slams it into the ground with great force, which causes ice to pelt out of the sword, freezing the ground and all of those who are touching it. The ice will usually take a long time to melt if Gravity does not need to kill whoever it touches, but if Gravity intends to kill, then the ice *will* kill.
* **Ice Transfer:** Whenever Gravity wishes, if he touches anything that is made of or is coated in water, he can easily freeze them. He usually chooses not to use this ability because it involves getting close-up to his enemies.
* **Glacies - Stage One:** When Gravity takes the mysterious liquid Glacies, stage one ensues. In the first stage of Glacies, Gravity's powers are tremendously enhanced. His armor enhances, becoming more durable and more efficient. He begins to go into a sort of rage, where he loses self-control and will kill almost anything in his way. *(This is similar to Oni's rage).* If one would want to stop the transition to the final stage of Glacies, they would need to begin to defeat him.
* **Glacies - Stage Two (Madness):** In Gravity's second stage of Glacies, the Madness stage, his ice forms all around his body, forming an almost impenetrable armor suit, minus the helm. His powers are stronger than they were before, and most would not want to mess with him. His rage endures, if not gets worse.
* **Glacies - Stage Three (Insanity):** Gravity grows a full suit of fully-impenetrable armor, including the helm, in stage three of Glacies (Insanity). He is no longer stoppable, unless by his opposite, which would be the power of the sun, Horus. This would mean that Inertia would not be able to defeat him without the help of Horus. In the third stage, Gravity gains dual ice swords, along with powers enhanced greater than they have ever been before. His rage also might make it to where he cannot see the distinction between friend and foe and could kill his allies as well.
