Background

Grim was originally an ancient reaper who was considered as a god of death. For some reason, the soul of this entity crystallized, and it becomes the Life Cristal where he was sealed as a pet. One day, after a very long time, the crystal got in touch with a dead body, which belonged to a young mercenary who’s been killed and thrown at the place where the crystal was. Through a strange phenomenon, the sealed stone and the corpse began to resonate together and then merged. The damaged parts of the inanimate man have regenerated and his organs began to function anew.

However, the man who regained consciousness wasn’t himself anymore. Someone else had taken control of his body. This new person is now the person we know under the name of Grim.
At this moment, he didn’t know who he was, or rather what he was. Because of the few memories he kept mixed with those of his new receptacle, he was unable to think at all. Therefore, he couldn’t move his body which wasn’t ready to bear the regeneration. 
In reaction to that, a dark aura emanates from him and surrounded him. This aura, like a sort of self-defense mechanism, put him in a deep sleep, and protected him until the moment when he can awake happens. 

Some years after, a traveler sensed the dark aura which sheltered Grim, and discovered the place where he was. In the depths of the Shadow Forest, near the Elder Village, there was a hidden cave plunged into the darkness. Inside, there were innumerable bones which probably belonged to humans – it  would be impossible to tell what happened here. The traveler reached the bottom of the cave, and found where the dark matter was concentrated. When he came closer, all the darkness suddenly disappeared and released its content. By seeing the condition of the young man, the traveler didn’t hesitate to take him to Elder where he woke up several days after.

At this point, Grim couldn’t remember what exactly happened in the Shadow Forest. Most of his memories have been reduced in pieces, but this time, he wasn’t alone. Indeed, the traveler with the help of some people in Elder, helped him in his recovery. 
Actually, he still had some memories of his two pasts (as the reaper he was, and the human) even if the consciousness in this body belongs to the reaper. With that, he was lost morally, because he had to apprehend the fact he became a living being and the fact he wasn’t a living being before – that sounds weird, but for him, it was a huge shock. Furthermore, he had no faith in living beings.
As a reaper, he probably saw very well what the living being can do if it's for their interest (in the good and bad way). The other reason is that he still remembered the pain of deaths of the Shadow Forest, even if he could not tell what happened. 

However, he accepted to follow the traveler in his journey, mainly because he had nothing else to do. The traveler, himself, thought that letting Grim alone with people was a bad idea, and that he should discover the World with his own eyes, in order to make his own opinion before judging things.
3 years later, the duo separated and Grim began his first journey alone. A journey which aims to find a reason to live this life. As a start, he decided to return to Elder, and this is how his new story began. 
Somehow, his journey will lead him to the search of Elbor with the El Remeant Party. 

Speciality

Since he became a human, Grim quickly discovered his ability with the scythe, and this is now his main weapon. He’s not as strong as he was in his past form, however, his handling with the scythe is much better than most people (it’s not like many people use a scythe as a weapon…)

Special Ability

- Reaper Art -

Grim obtained a human body, but couldn’t move as in his former incarnation. Consequently, even if he knows how to use it, his handling of the scythe still has some lacks. 

However, Grim can recover some of his strength by converting a certain amount of MP to enter in a special phase during a limited time. The MP converted will be proportionally transferred upon the HP bar, as a black bar (RP Bar), which will slowly decrease. The more MP he converts, the longer he will be in this phase.

In that state, Grim’s move set and skills change in various ways. The RP Bar decrease quicker when he gets hit, but he takes no damage during this state (except some case: hyper active for example). Grim can stop this phase if he will (and in many ways) but must wait a certain time to activate it again.

Personality

At that time, Grim has a kind of double personality. He is not schizophrenic though.
Depending of the mood, his temper can vary drastically. This is a side effect of the reincarnation of the reaper (mostly heartless) in a human who is able to feel emotions.

As the Reaper, he is:
- often suspicious (most of time) 
- quite enclosed (but not independent) 
- a little unfriendly – due of his lack of consideration
+ reserved 

As a human, he is:
- sometimes impulsive 
+ often tranquil and centered (but looks sad sometimes) 
+ curious and open-minded 

Over time, he's interested in relationship and seeks to understand how the livings interact with each other. Then, he tries to be more social.

Trivia

_ The name of Grim was given to him by the traveler, who found him, because Grim never had a real name in his former incarnation
_ He has pointy ears
_ He often use the words of semantic of "livings beings" like "livings". He often uses this word in order to talk about humans and other humanoid races.
_ He can see the memories of the dead – furthermore, this is one of his subject he uses in order to understand human relations (even if it’s not always positive)
_ He can see things that other cannot see… _boo!
_ Grim kept some objects from the cave where he was found. The broadsword which belonged to the young mercenary, was one of them.
_ Grim’s body isn’t normal. Even if the constitution is the same as humans, most part of it was made with El energy (which, indeed, is the origin of almost everything, but remember that Grim is supposed to be a crystalized pet). Furthermore, his former incarnation was linked to the El too. Thus, Grim is linked to the El energy and its existence is vital for his survival – It’s the source of all his strength and power, and can be his worst weakness
_ Some phenomenon can occur if he’s too exposed to the Eldrit 
_ The red and white color were the main colors of the dead mercenary. The color of the reaper are black and blue which we can see on the scythe
_ His conception of the life and of time are different to humans, principally due of the fact he wasn't even human before. 
_ Same for his needs: he doesn't really need to eat or sleep - he only need El
