Roméo Grriatz

> I can't know if what she says is right for sure but.. this little exercise proved me that I had it in me. All I have to do is forget and believe. If I can become how I hoped to be, maybe I'll be able to forgive me for lying to myself for a while, right..?

Roméo Grriatz is one of the main characters of Gun Wounds. He's a very thoughtful young man, his goodness is admired by everyone.

## Appearance

Roméo is a thin and slightly brawny young man. He has light brown hair, one of his strands passes between his two eyes hiding partially his nose without compromising his vision. His eyes are a mix of light blue and dark green, they're as pure and shiny as emerald. His whole face is like porcelain but behind his girl-y looks, Roméo hides a well-trained body.

He tends to wear simple and colorful clothes, he's mostly into shirts and jeans but any clothe style is his liking. He's seen wearing messy clothes and nerd accessories when he's at home with someone or alone. He does not like the "rich"/"ego-trip" style, he cannot bear it at all.

## Personality

Roméo was naturally born with a heart filled of goodness. Despite appearing hostile and heartless in front of his enemies, he's mostly shown full of mercy and hope. Most of the people who met him are reluctant to harm him, face to face with an angel like him, a vast part of his enemies hesitate before harming him.

But, even if Roméo looks like the perfect nice guy, he is very clever and can appear as cunning as Michael Blake when the situation calls for it. He hates to be evil towards others but he takes upon himself and forces himself to do terrible things he'd never forgive.

## Story

**Early Life**

Roméo is a young adult originally living in France, he is a law student in an unknown French law school. His life in France is still unknown but, as revealed in the Chapter 3: Debt, Théo Perrier is Roméo's brother-in-law, boyfriend of Éricka Grriatz , his big sister. A few hints about his life are displayed in the chapters but nothing concrete about his past was revealed yet.

**Roméo's Debt**
His reason for coming to Boston is linked to a huge debt he has towards Théo. In the same chapter, Théo informs him that he has to do some "jobs" to repay his debt. He owes Théo a large amount of money because he had to borrow it to pay for his law school, on the advice of his big sister. The "jobs" he has to do are not only dangerous but they certainly are more worth than the money he borrowed in the beginning. However, as he is broke and strongly threatened, he cannot just go back on his own to France.

## Prologue

Roméo appears at the end of the **Chapter 1: Encounter** as a cute and attentive young man trying to wipe off the water of Michael Blake's shirt. He lends him his own handkerchief and the cold and unappealing Michael lets the young and cute Roméo do as he pleases; it's their first romantic scene. However, when Michael heard Danny Fidga's voice, he hid with Roméo in a toilet cabin.

After overhearing Danny's conversation with his men about making an hold up in the Asian restaurant, Michael leaves Roméo alone in the toilet cabin to stop Danny himself in **Chapter 2: Hold Up**. During Michael's attempt to arrest Danny, Roméo appears behind them and manages to knock him out by playing police sirens on his phone, throwing a paper to stunt his men and hit Danny with a wooden chair.

When Michael realized it was Roméo who helped him out, he got pissed and pinned him against the restaurant's outside wall to lecture him. But, to avoid Ally Spellman, Michael had to fake a friendship with Roméo whom he despises. He walked him to his place alongside Owen Patland and offered him to spend the night, Roméo accepted and left the next morning without a word.

## Arc 1: Welcome to DrugCity

Early in the morning of **Chapter 3: Debt**, Roméo went to meet Théo Perrier at a cafe in Boston. Théo revealed to Roméo the reason he came to Boston and presented him the man he has to kill: David Martinez. Roméo is obviously against the idea of killing someone else but Théo drags him to meet Nick Carter in the back of the cafe. Carter is presented as the man who will give him every info on each of his missions.

On his way back, Roméo finds and reads a wanted poster and recognizes Carter as one of the men who escaped the Police Station last night, during the hold up. He unconsciously walked to the station and bumps into Michael and his colleagues. He asks him to let him stay at his place for some days, Michael accepted and gave him the key. Later, during the nighttime, Roméo faintly asks to Michael why he allowed him in his house, Michael didn't answer.

After waking up and eating breakfast in **Chapter 4: Comrade**, Roméo walks to the same cafe to meet again Carter who will order him to meet the girl who will be his mate during the operation, Stella Johnson. On his orders, Roméo walks to an old warehouse where he meets Stella, an energetic and sarcastic American thug girl. She explains him their mission and presents him their opponents in the upcoming tournament they will attend to.

When Michael came back home from work, he finds Roméo on the couch and proposes him to go do some shopping in the market nearby. Roméo finds an American cake brand he never saw in real life before and moved by Roméo's innocence and cuteness, Michael buys it and smiles for the first time. When they came back, Roméo started asking questions about Michael's life, he told him Friday was his ceremony day and invited Roméo to go see him. When he was away his phone, Michael peeks at his notification and sees a text from a certain "S", Stella.

Awake before Michael in the beginning of **Chapter 5: Unwanted Ceremony**, Roméo rushed to the warehouse to meet Stella for their daily trainings. He asks her if he can leave earlier today, he intend to go to Michael's ceremony at 5 but keeps this information to himself, Stella agreed.

Whilst Michael, Alexander Quinn and Owen Patland were talking, hid in the back of the ceremony, Roméo appears with nice clothes in the crowd among close friends and family members of the other police officers, Michael notices him right away and makes signs to make him come to them. When Michael was on the stage, despite being looked hard by his parents, Roméo was all he could see and Michael was the only important thing to his eyes.

At the after party, Roméo and Michael end up happily drinking together and on their way back, Roméo asks him tenderly to hold his hand during the way. Michael does not answer but he holds his hand, tightly and quietly.

**Chapter 6: First Fight**

## Relationships

* Michael Blake - The nature of their relationship is unknown, Roméo's feelings towards Michael are complicated. On one hand, he feels very attracted to him and can't resist his manly looks but on the other hand, Michael's coldness is an obstacle to him. Sometimes he feels confused, his feelings are mixed and shaken in his heart.

* Stella Johnson - At first, Roméo prohibited himself to get close to her, he wasn't trusting Stella enough to start giving her personal information on him. However, as the time passed, he began to open up to her but also started to care for her as a friend. Even if he's still not sure if she's worthy of trust, Roméo can't help but see her as a possible true and deep friendship.

* Nick Carter - Due to his criminal past, Roméo used to be very cautious and scared around him. Carter looked dangerous at first sight but when Roméo took time to talk with him calmly, he noticed Carter was more than a random gang boss, he has a golden heart and a poetic vision of life. In the twelfth Chapter, it is revealed that Carter got moved by Roméo and he may be on his side rather than Théo's.

* Alexander Quinn - Roméo doesn't know Quinn that much but when he met him, Quinn appeared really kind and mature to him, though Roméo and he are still acquaintances for now.

* Owen Patland - They don't know each other that much, though on their first encounter (Chapter 2: Hold Up), Patland made a comical impression on Roméo. They remain acquaintances for now.

* Maddie Wilson - When Roméo met Maddie (Chapter 7: Strategy), he felt a hostile aura around her when she learned Roméo was staying at Michael's place. His first thoughts on her are "She looks annoyed" and she actually was. But as soon as she realized Roméo may be someone important to Michael, she changed her mood and asked him to change Michael's thoughts about her. Roméo was uncomfortable with her request but accepted.

* Théo Perrier - Roméo seems comfortable enough with him to be very rude and hasty when they meet at the cafe for the first time. Roméo seems to be hardly despising Théo from the bottom of his heart and this affection is reciprocal, Théo might be the person he hates the most (for now). Despite being brothers-in-law, Roméo resents Théo very much and won't hesitate to kill him if the occasion is given

* Ally Spellman - Roméo hears about her (Chapter 1: Encounter) when he meets Michael for the first time in the Asian restaurant's toilets and meets her (Chapter 15: Infiltration) during his first mission for David Martinez at one of his DrugParty. He recognizes her right away even if he didn't know her name. He considers her as a potential ally but remains on his guards since he doesn't know her at all.

* Éricka Grriatz - Roméo seems to be loving his big sister a lot. He feels awfully lonely without her and misses her a lot more than we could think.
