Appearance
Grim is tall for his age at 6' 10" also weighing in at 169 lbs, Making him very tall and bulky in appearance. His light brown hair, Which is always messy and at a medium length, Will often annoy him by finding it's way into his vision where he will have to move it out of the way. Other notable physical features are that, He has multiple scars around his mouth, And the obvious having one eye.

He wears a black leather jacket which has his emblem, A skull with crossed sickles, on the back, Grey button down shirt, and white t-shirt. Inside the leather jacket are special loops to hold his "Scarecrow" modules as well as ones for ammunition. On his back is a special sheathe for his weapon. He wears a belt which hangs loosely on his hips containing more loops to hold ammunition for his weapon. He also wears dark colored pants and a pair of black combat boots.

He of course wears an eye patch to keep his wound covered, It is tightly secured to his head so it will not fall off in combat.

Personality
Grim is quiet, Some might say too quiet. He may come off as indifferent when you first meet him, A tool he uses to keep people away. He speaks only when spoken to, Or if he feels something is important enough that it requires him to speak.

He can seem a bit antisocial, But if you were to hang around him enough he would warm up to a person. Of course, Earning his friendship is hard, And impossible to regain if you lose it.

People often just dismiss him as a freak or weird because he isn't social. He blames it on his upbringing, He wasn't raised in an environment where sociability was a thing they focused on is what he'll tell people. Of course if someone were to inquire in what kind of place he was raised he'll immediately dismiss it as irrelevant or just stop talking.

He does not like talking about the past, If others around him are talking about their childhoods, Or their life before Beacon he will remain quiet and will be unresponsive if asked about his.

Put him in a fight however, And the cool quiet demeanor of his melts away and is replaced with a fiery, Almost too enthusiastic outlook. He loves fighting, Whether it be people or Grimm, In a fight he suddenly becomes overly loud and excited, Taunting and screaming whatever or whoever he is fighting. It's a side of him that again causes people to dismiss him as a freak or weird.

Weapons and Equipment
Grim's weapons are deadly, He relishes every opportunity in which he gets to use them
 * Letum - Letum is a five foot long Great Sword, Grim is able to swing and stab at his enemies with ease thanks to his strength, It requires both of his hands to wield as it's very heavy. With Letum he is also able to engage enemies that are out of reach of the blade, Letum has a second form where the blade parts down the middle and a trigger will fold out of the handle. Grim can place special cartridges between the halves of the blade and aim Letum like a gun. After pressing down on the trigger the area between the blades will become magnetically charged and send the metal cartridge flying at blinding speed to cause whatever was unfortunate enough to be on the receiving ends day a lot worse than it already was.

If someone ever asks him, Even in a joking way, Why he doesn't use a scythe because of his name, He usually responds with a glare that, If looks could kill, Would send the asker to the depths of hell.
 * Scarecrow Modules - Scarecrow modules are small round disks Grim keeps inside of his jacket, They are more of a last resort type of weapon as he has to get right up to his target to use it. He will take the disk and activate it by pressing down on a button in the center, After this a small blade will pop out on the other side. All Grim has to do is press this blade into his target and the disk does the rest, Once pressed into a target the disk will suddenly start shooting out blades into whatever is unfortunate enough to have become attached before finally shooting a pole down into the ground and elevating the target off their feet. Creating a makeshift... and gruesome scarecrow. Fortunately though, When people inquire if he has ever used this weapon on a human being, He can truthfully say no, He has only ever used his Scarecrow Modules against Grimm.

Semblance
Grim's semblance was discovered by him when he was a child being raised in an orphanage on the outskirts of Atlas. His semblance which is called "Death's Hand" consumes his left hand in a black aura which radiates off of it. His good eye also turns completely red, Using his semblance produces a considerable boost in his already high strength and also allows him to move around much faster. If he touches another being, Grimm, Human, or Faunus, While using his "Death's Hand." he can drain away their life force.

As you can imagine though, Using his semblance takes a great toll on his body. It drains his Aura significantly and it doesn't last very long either, Anywhere between thirty seconds to a minute. Using it also usually puts him out of the fight once he's done as it takes time for him to recover.

Fighting Style
Grim fights in a very unique way, Although he does use Letum in a traditional fighting style from time to time, and when the situation demands it, He fights in a style he calls "Zoom and Boom".

Using the thrusters mounted in his feet (see backstory), He launches himself around the battlefield, Slashing and stabbing all the way, He also takes it into the vertical, By launching himself into the air with a quick burst from these thrusters (the zoom) he can select a target on his way up, Reach the top of his climb, and descend on the target. While descending from the air he'll reach a great speed and slam his sword, If not directly on his target, near his target causing a shockwave and sending them (if not directly hit) and anyone else in the immediate area flying back (the boom).

He also uses the thrusters in his feet in other ways, For example, By placing his foot on a hostiles chest and giving them a quick burst on a low thrust setting he can send them flying back and possibly set them on fire.

If Grim finds a target is best to engage from range he will switch Letum to it's railgun form and deal with them swiftly. He can also use Letum's railgun form to clear obstacles, Such as walls, Large doors, Etc. He has also found it effective to use Letum's railgun form in a zoom. Up into the air where he can get a good view of a target, Firing, and then diving back down.

Backstory
Grim was born on the outskirts of Atlas. He never knew either of his parents, From birth he was abandoned to an orphanage. He was left in the middle of the night wrapped in a red blanket, A gold card with his last name was the only identification they had for him. "Reaper" was at first all the staff had to call him, He spent the first few years quite happy, As most children are when they're that young. Making friends with the other orphans and just living his life without a care in the world. As children get older though, They become subject to thing such as discrimination and bullying. Grim would watch as for example a group of children would pick on a faunus.

It wasn't long before bullying fell on him, One day someone decided it would be funny, Since all he had been called until then was "Reaper", To start calling him "Grim" to make fun of his last name. It ended up sticking with him, As he got older though he minded it less and less as he didn't have a first name anyway he decided to just adopt that as his first name officially.

One day, Soon after Grim's tenth birthday, A group of strange people visited the orphanage. [Writing the rest of this later]
