**7000 Grand Dad Grandstone**, or **Grand Dad**, is the first main character of Meme Series

## Appearance

Grand Dad has a blue outline. He has stark white skin and short straight blue hair. His eyes are blue with Congo pink sclera. He has a thinner than average build, which is apparently due to malnourishment. Grand Dad's typical outfit is a long sleeve maroon shirt, Congo pink overalls with white square buttons, white toon gloves and shoes, and a maroon trademark fiddler's cap with a Congo pink brim and a blue "王" symbol on a white circle above the brim.

## Personality

Grand Dad is charmingly self-confident and naïve, and it at times comes off as childish. He's overly ambitious and often wants more out of life than what he has. Sometimes this refers to the method in which he gets it, as shown on several occasions when he refuses to get money from his parents, wanting to earn it from hero work instead. In this way he's very stubborn as well.

He's also empathetic towards others and is always willing to help someone out. Grand Dad has a happy demeanor and is very fun to be around. He values his friends and family and is loyal to them above all else. Although when he's near people he doesn't want to be around, he acts aloof, snippy or sometimes even vindictive to them simply because he hates them.

Grand Dad having spite towards others is almost always his drive to do anything. He's also often motivated by sexual desires, even going so far as boarding Gestafar's ship without question, thinking that doing so would somehow result in him seeing attractive aliens. Despite this behavior, he affirms he's ok with admiring people from a distance.

Beneath all these layers is a young adult trying to find a purpose and get out of any shadows he's in, and he wants to earn every second of it.

## Relationships

### FPF

Grand Dad has a very strong bond with his brother. Immediately it is shown that Grand Dad cared deeply for FPF and wants him to feel happy and safe upon returning to Craftopolis. Grand Dad cares about what FPF thinks, frequently encouraging him. Grand Dad had no idea about anything FPF had been through, but wanted to protect him as soon as it came up. The brothers often switch who is the responsible one of the group, depending on the situation.

### Iris

Grand Dad and Iris get along very well, and are implied to have stayed close during FPF and Ssen's absence. They often cause mischief together.

### OPO

OPO is the Grandstones' adopted sibling and Grand Dad treats them like they've always been a part of the family

### Lumino

Grand Dad and Lumino have been friends for a while, so they are relatively close. Lumino admired Grand Dad's drive and has admitted that it inspires them to pursue their own dreams. Grand Dad implies that he finds Lumino attractive.

### Emmeline

Grand Dad knew of Emmeline's reputation of being a powerful and influential delinquent. He had the idea that she might be of similar strength to him. He would later find out his assumption was correct when Emmeline challenged him and FPF. Grand Dad was annoyed that Emmeline was attacking them for seemingly no reason. After it was revealed Pasqualio was manipulating Emmeline, she quickly wanted to set things right and fought Pasqualio with Grand Dad, FPF and OPO. This made Grand Dad respect Emmeline and see her as a friend.

### Vert

Grand Dad immensely hates Vert and considers him a rival. He hates him due to his status as a philanthropic hero that everyone knows and loves. Vert's also one of those people who are so nice that it makes some people really mad. Grand Dad is some people.

### Emily

Grand Dad takes a liking to Emily almost instantly.

### Mari

Grand Dad at first is annoyed at Mari's attitude towards everything, but he realizes her tendencies are similar to Grand Dad's own hedonistic aspirations, causing the two to grow close. They often argue like they're siblings, and are protective of each other like them as well. In addition, Grand Dad doesn't seem to have any form of attraction to her.

### Leah

Due to the prophecy, Leah was destined to fall in love with the Hero. Out of all three of the heroes, Grand Dad was the one Leah grew closest to. Despite Leah's intended purpose of being a trophy, Grand Dad and the others treated her like a person.

## Powers

### Super Strength

Grand Dad's primary ability is his superhuman strength. He is physically stronger than an average Artnian, which is already physically stronger than the average Human. He is easily able to smash Thagmonium, which is much stronger and heavier than Tungsten. Grand Dad's bat "Maybelline" is also made of Thagmonium and isn't hollow like an aluminum bat and he's swinging it around like it's nothing.

### Heat Vision

Grand Dad can fire blue lasers from his eyes. He is able to control the size and intensity of the laser. He mostly uses it for casual everyday use such as quickly cooking a microwave dinner or opening a can.

### Gadgets?

One of Grand Dad's stranger and less well-known powers is the ability to whip out random skills based on the situation. These are activated by Grand Dad saying "Go go gadget" and then what he wants to do. An example being echolocating Mari when she was captured by the X-Faction, which he did by saying "Go go gadget echolocate Mari." Sometimes these gadgets are useful, most times they aren't, and he can't use the same one twice.

## Skills

### Hand-to-Hand Combat

Grand Dad's fighting style is less formal compared to someone like FPF. He mainly uses improvised techniques like throwing his bat with enough force that it defies the laws of physics and comes back to him. He is also skilled in Pro Wrestling and often uses several types of throws to subdue opponents when the opportunity arises.

### Baseball Proficiency

He is apparently very good at baseball, so that bat isn't just for smashing heads.

## Equipment

### Baseball Bat

Grand Dad always carries his iconic black baseball bat with the Grandstone Logo on it. Grand Dad has named it "Maybelline"

## Weaknesses

### Inability

Most of Grand Dad's weakness is in what he can't do, like precision attacks.

### Strength Limit

Grand Dad is strong, sure. But he can't destroy a planet like he did that one time. He's not God, haha!

### Elemental Weakness

Grand Dad is Earth Element, which means he's weak against Wind attacks.
