Grayther Eventide

"What? You think just cus I'm a blind old tosser with no left arm that i'd have some word's o'wisdom for ya? Pfft, piss off mate."

- Grayther to a Beacon student at one of the more seedy dives in Vale

Appearance
Grayther is lanky and tall, wearing a long, dark-grey hooded coat to shroud his figure somewhat. The left arm of the coat is cut short and buttoned closed to hide the stump that remains there. Underneath, he wears a simple white t-shirt, grey - blue jeans and brown cowboy boots.

His eyes are entirely white, with no pupils or irises visible. His hair is crew cut and white in colour. His face is often sporting some stubble or a few days worth of growth, along with the few wrinkles he earned from constant smiling.

Backstory
Grayther was born into the wealth of the Eventide family; a prostigious family in eastern Vale. Unfortunately, there was an issue with his development, meaning that he was born without pupils. He lived for years in a wheelchair, being moved around by his servants despite constant protest, becoming increasingly withdrawn and depressed as he grew older. His father, a caring man by all accounts, hired a blind hunter named Vak Ferfi to teach Grayther to move without aid. It took almost six months, but eventually, he was able to find his way around their expansive manor alone.

Life picked up for him after that. Grayther decided to become a hunter, wanting to help those like himself - if not worse off. His mother was firmly against it, eager for him to become a doctor, or a lawyer, or some other high-brow job that the Eventides could be proud of. His father, once again, was the one that wanted Grayther to be able to do what he wanted, regardless of what it was. At the end of his thirteenth summer, he was shipped off to Signal to begin preparation. It was here that his semblance was unlocked.

His eyes - while lacking a natural means of sight - were able to see aura. That found in humans, and that found in nature. It wasn't as detailed as true sight was, but he was able to live his life in with relative normalcy. Even if those he walked amongst were merely shadows surrounded by colour.

During his time at Signal, he became friends with a boy named Cathac Azure. The two grew close over the years, practically brothers by the time they shipped for Beacon. There fighting styles complimented each other well, his art of close range instinct gunnery - another thing that had shown from his time at signal - and Cathac's style of clawed tornado's meant that few were better in a back-to-back style fight within a group of enemies.

The pair graduated from Beacon and sticked together as partners, their other two teammates going their respective ways, though the did get in touch every once in a while.

Eventually, Cathac fell in love with a woman. Grayther was never sure of her, her aura seemed strange to him, unnatural almost. Cathac ended up getting her pregnant and proposed to her, due to be married a month or so after the babies due date. But as the time drew near things kept getting worse and worse.Grimm attacks began to pick up, meaning that he and Cathac were out a week at a time, sometimes going days without rest trying to find their marks.

Then things came plumeting down.

Cathac's wife-to-be left a week after their kid was born. It tore his partners heart in two. And after the incident that claimed Graythers arm months later, Cathac stopped being a hunter, becoming a dust mechanic on Patch. The pair kept in touch, never going more than a week without some sort of communication, though he never visited in person seeing Cathac blamed himself for the loss of his arm. Years passed, Grayther grew, Cathac grew, and Cathac's son - Liath - grew too. Grayther heard that Liath wanted to become a hunter, and - much like his father did to his mother - convinced Cathac to allow him. Years more passed and Liath started at signal, Cathac told Grayther how he wanted to get back into the world, like he had been back in the old days. Grayther suggested he take a trip around the havens for a couple years, see the sights and all that. What he didn't expect his friend to do was go on a manhunt for his lost lover.

Grayther stayed in Vale, promising to keep an eye on Liath while he was gone, though he never got directly involved, not straight away at least. He waited about two years, getting in contact a few days after Liath entered Beacon.
