	All lean angles and bony knees and elbows, this young man manages to look almost frail. He could definitely stand to put on a few pounds, that's for certain. His dark brown mop of shaggy hair almost looks like he cut it himself with a pocket knife and falls in a tangle across silvery blue eyes. His face is very square with an angular jaw, broad chin, and full lips. His left arm is crisscrossed by thin, pale scars, one or two of them slightly raised and rough looking, as though it's been opened repeatedly.

	Happy. That's what the child named Eddie was. The only child of Chuck and Jannine Grayson, the small family lived just outside of a tiny town in Texas, not terribly far (by local standards) from Dallas and Fort Worth. While their modest home wasn't exactly a farm, they did have goats, chickens, rabbits, and a couple of horses. The little boy's days, when not doing chores and helping out with the livestock, were spent roaming the countryside, hunting squirrels, rabbits, and other small wild game with a pack of other local boys. And the older sister of one of those boys. Yuck! She wasn't that bad, though. At least she wasn't squeamish about getting dirty and skinning out whatever they caught, anyway. As long as she didn't hold them back, she was welcome to come with, anyway, and it was the only reason Robbie was allowed to hang out with them, so... That all changed one stormy summer night when Eddie was thirteen.<br><br>Tragedy struck when Chuck and Jannine were driving home from church one Wednesday night. Eddie had been sick, so stayed home alone (he was thirteen, now, after all. Plenty old enough to not need a babysitter) while the rest of the family went to their little country church two towns over; Chuck to choir practice and Jannine to her usual women's bible study. They didn't see the tree that the thunderstorm had knocked over, across the road, until it was too late. Chuck was dead at the scene. Jannine barely made it to the hospital. Eddie did not find out until the next morning when the sheriff knocked on the door. <br><br>The first few days, until other arrangements could be made, Eddie stayed with Robbie and his family. It was all a blur, partially because he was still getting over the flu. When everything was said and done, the animals were sold off, most going to friends and neighbors that promised to take good care of them, and Eddie was shipped off to New York City to live with his maternal grandparents. The land and house were kept, however, rented out until Eddie came of age to either take possession or decide for himself whether or not to sell it. What was left over after the mortgage was paid out of the rent was put into a savings account, both to cover repairs to the property and to build up a college fund for the remaining member of that branch of the Grayson family.<br><br>Things were... not good for the suddenly orphaned teenager. Eddie, now insisting on being called "Ed" (at least outside of the house) started school that fall in a completely new environment. One where he now had to wear a uniform. Ugh! He went from a decent A/B student to failing most of his classes. He acted out. He fell in with the wrong crowd. He started skipping school to smoke with his new friends. Instead of good clean fun, killing things, with the boys in the neighborhood, he started drinking and doing drugs, sneaking out at night, and generally just... not being the kid that his family knew he was. He yelled at his grandparents. A lot. Especially his grandfather, who had higher expectations for the boy that was named after him. Things only got worse when his mutation finally manifested. Once he realized that he could, when he concentrated, make people just... not see him... he took advantage of that ability to sneak out even more often.<br><br>Everything came to a head one spring day, not long before the end of school when he was fifteen. After being grounded (AGAIN) and having his computer and phone taken away, Ed packed a duffle bag with a bunch of camping supplies (think bug out bag), a couple of changes of clothes, grabbed a sleeping bag, and... well, be bugged out. <br><br>The next couple of years were rough. Abandoning all use of any variation of his first name, he became Gray. The Gray-man. He struggled to survive, especially during the winter months, struggled with finding enough to eat and safe places to sleep. Eventually, he did find a nice little hidden spot in Mutant Town to hunker down in. He also realized that his mutation gave him an advantage over other homeless kids: If he went invisible, he could more easily steal food and other necessities. Soon enough, he branched out from just what he needed to survive to stealing things with greater value to sell so that he could indulge in the unfortunate drug habit he picked up because of his so called "friends" after he moved to NYC.<br><br>When he was seventeen, he made a mistake. A terrible mistake. A terrible mistake that cost him his freedom and very nearly his life.<br><br>He trusted the wrong person.<br><br>Gray was lured into a situation where he found himself, along with a bunch of other young mutants and people that wouldn't be missed, snatched off the streets and sold off to the highest bidder. Fortunately, his captivity did not last very long. He was one of the lucky ones... He was rescued by this chick in all white and a big dude in a black cloak (cloaks have hoods; capes don't. It was a cloak, okay!) Unfortunately, being underage, after a short stint in the hospital to make sure that he wasn't going to keel over and die immediately, he was sent back home to his grandparents. That only lasted a month, or so, before he was gone, again. He just... he couldn't. He couldn't stay there. He couldn't be with the people that reminded him every single day of what he had lost and the mistakes that he'd made since his parents died.<br><br>And so, Gray is back on the street, struggling to find enough food, to get the drugs that his body craves, and to just survive.
