[indent]Police Detective
[indent][color=azure]┗[/color] Aside from the unpredictability of his schedule, especially with a child now, he does love his job. He enjoys using his brilliant mind, figuring out puzzles, and connecting the dots. 
[color=azure]┗[/color] Specializes in homicide.
[color=azure]┗[/color] Becoming a father has made him wonder if he should change career paths. Possibly going back to school so he could pursue a teaching degree, to compliment his B.S. in Criminal Justice: Law Enforcement.
[color=azure]┗[/color] It isn't that he can't find windows for his family, but due to him needing to be on call even on his days off (minus while he's away on vacation) he never knows when he will be home or not. Even if he provides substantial money for his family (thanks to overtime and being the top ten percent - you don't join law enforcement for monetary gain), he doesn't know if focusing on his original game plan is the right move. He didn't expect (another) tragic incident to change his entire world and perspective in life. It's not just about him anymore.[/indent][/indent]

[hider=Then]As a teen, his main language was dry sarcasm, to the point where it came across as offensive. He left a bad taste in people's mouths with his apathy and lack of filter, that is until some of them stormed through his barricade to find out he simply built a defense mechanism due to a childhood filled with abuse. [i]Sometimes[/i] and presently, that smartass nature of his slips out. Something that has carried on throughout the years is his cheesy-ass grin, which is either genuine or something he does right after bruising someone's ego. Old habits die hard. 

Young Gray didn't mind using people to gain an advantage over, for selfish reasons, or because he wanted to. For example, he didn't want to go to prom alone and be a lame wallflower. He knew Miss Class President would be there, his crush since opening ceremony at King's Academy, so he asked dear Willow Nicholson out, just so he could have Amanda's looks that night engraved in his mind. He can still remember exactly what she wore (shows how impressive his memory is!). Earth tones within her make up that turn eggplant, blurry eyeliner with a [url=https://img4.woman.es/09/1f/55/maquillaje-dior-ester-exposito.jpg]'cat eye'[/url], and touches of golden shadow on her lower eyelid. Pure shine, with reddish tones. Simply bringing out her beauty. Nothing more, nothing less. She wore a gorgeous, expensive [url=https://img4.woman.es/a3/41/39/dl_u430185_242-1.jpg]green satin[/url] gown, that had a tie (large loop that crosses her chest), a asymmetry design, and a long train. To complete the assemble she had golden accessories: strap sandals, a bracelet, and star earrings. An absolute muse. Untouchable. 

The night didn't end well for him, but he did fall asleep with a smile on. 

In addition to those asshole traits, he use to have a major problem with authority and would deliberately act out (think walk out of class, play hooky when really he was sleeping on the bleachers, and be a frequent detention goer because he didn't do his homework), which was completely weird for a kid that was a 'dweeb' and a 'nerd'. Like, he was part of the CHESS CLUB because his mother begged him to join at least ONE club. Words like 'fag', 'twink', and 'bitch boy' were trigger words for him and he took it extremely personal, especially since he already had shit confidence thanks to his dad and even his mom occasionally, since he felt like he was her disappointment, 'wasting his potential'. Those that did get to know him, like really know him, knew this about him: he liked to jest and laugh off his problems, he was a slacker, and he cared more than he pretended not to.  
[/hider]
[hider=Now]As he grew up, he matured in more ways than one. When he's properly motivated, there's nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, that can stop him from achieving his goal. He's far more approachable and charming than he was as a teen. He can walk the walk and talk the talk, AND he has gained an incredible amount of empathy for people. A humanitarian. [i]Weird[/i]. After his mother passed, right out of high school, his priorities changed and he cleaned up his act. His best friend, Jason Graves, who went to police academy with him, and his sister, Kerrirose, who waited to graduate high school to follow her brother wherever he went, helped hold him accountable and suddenly failure in life was not an option for him.

He still rarely sugarcoats his words, unless he's intentionally lying, which he may still for personal reasons. He has a need for organization and cleanliness, and usually knows when something is out of place. He can point out the smallest details, that not many people would notice, but he's learned to hold his tongue and not bring up things only he may care about. He's approachable. Bearable. Sociable. [i]Kind[/i]. An odd sight for those who haven't kept tabs on him and his life. 

Looking deeper into his personality, for those that kept in touch, they know he goes through severe mood swings when he isn't intellectually stimulated (and also due to PTSD). With an addictive personality, he is prone to substance abuse. His current poisons are whiskey, caffeine, and cigarettes. But, he has dabbled in coke in college. Also, he absolutely hates being bored and won't hesitate to walk away without saying goodbye, just so he can do something else or brood. Overall, Gray may still have demons he's battling, but he is a bit more pleasant to be around with and has gotten over his more deep-seated issue (revolving around his father).   [/hider]  [/indent]
[color=bc4f29]Upbringing Synopsis[/color]
[indent]See, Blake and Katherine Chambers made enough money for their children and their guilty pleasures, such as gambling for the patriarch of the household and a full stock of alcohol for mother dearest. Blake Chambers had plenty of damage he took out on his family. It may be because his father, Malcolm, the number one Chambers in the family, had a goldmine of money he wasn't willing to give to his children, especially his eldest, or it could be because he too was a disappointment. Nothing he ever did was enough. So, sure, he brought home a salary around $127,000 since he was part of the top ten percentile of curators in America, but he also wasn't guaranteed to show all of it because he needed to spend it on himself. While his father was infatuated with the past, hence his job, Katherine couldn't handle her present, with her unfaithful and temperamental husband, so she escaped to a spa to be part of a serene environment and massage other individuals' stresses away. 

While Kerrirose acted her part, pretending to be a good girl, helping the gardener from time to time, which only Grayson noticed the flirting his sister did with the older man, no one else did, Grayson was dealing with all this information he was taking in, trying to go through the chaos and find the most important information. His grandfather would frequently visit and give them wise, yet stern words, which showed Malcolm cared about Gray and Kerri more than he did his son. Hell, he even gave them gifts and allowances, which only made Blake angry. And when their father was angry, it was never a good thing for any of them. Gray wore hoodies to hide the bruises, at least his father had the sense to not hit his face, and day in and day out, he'd go against his parents' wishes. Although, he didn't mean to hurt his mother's heart from rebelling. One day, he came home to a bloody mess. Parents were bleeding out, on the kitchen floor, and Kerri was missing. This was shortly after graduation from King's Academy. The rest of that year would be the only time he doesn't remember well. All he knows is his grandfather took care of it, giving him and his sister the exact words to say in court, and before they knew it, the gardener and nanny were arrested for the murder of their parents. 

A constant throughout all this was Gray's best friend, Jason Graves, who also attended King's Academy, and was remembered as the nice, stable comic book geek, who was somehow liked by everyone. After the incident, he was seventeen at the time, Grayson was given direction by Jason simply saying: [color=#deb887]"Dude, you should become a cop with me! We can so kick some villain asses."[/color] The show must go on (the criminal case was happening at the same time). Grayson didn't know what else he'd do, even if his skill set was obviously anything revolving around computers, he shrugged and said why not. In police academy, Jason found Elizabeth Stiller, [color=#e4717a]"Look what the cat dragged in..."[/color], and knocked her up at the age of 18 (literally only a couple months after they met). They had a shotgun wedding, and while Jason continued to pursue being a cop, Elizabeth stopped her plans to mother their child. She was one year older than Jason, two years older than Gray. They both decided they'd make Gray their daughter's godfather. Honestly? Gray doesn't know what that entails. 

Years past, Gray and Jay graduated Florida State University, while gaining experience as patrol officers, and both decided the best place to move to was the crime-filled city of Chicago, Illinois. So, they all took a leap of faith. During this move, Kerrirose tagged along because that's what she did, followed her brother, everywhere. The best friends lived right next to each other, in the same apartment complex that Gray still lives in to this day, and even if life made them too busy for each other, they did find time. While Gray quickly got promoted to detective, Jason decided to stay a patrol officer so he had more availability for his wife and child.

Things took a wild and tragic turn when the Graves got in a freak car accident and somehow, little Millie, their baby, survived. This happened a year ago. Grayson's life will never be the same. There was no way in hell he'd let anyone take Millie away from him. Shortly after, Grandfather Malcolm made an offer for them to move back, so he can help Gray take care of his sister and child, but for now Gray is simply going with the motions. 

Oh look, a reunion invite. [color=#cb4154]"You should go!"[/color] His sister insisted.  

[color=#ffff99]"Come home with stories to tell!"[/color] Millie added with a sweet grin. Staring into the eyes of his new world, Grayson couldn't help but wonder what was Emiliana thinking about behind that smile. She was only nine, after all, when she lost everything.  [/indent]

[color=azure]┗[/color] Casual lover/Heartbreaker (hasn't really had the time or interest to commit). 
[color=azure]┗[/color] Technologically proficient.
[color=azure]┗[/color] Enjoys strategy & puzzle games, chess, solving mazes, computer programming, staying in shape, chick flicks (blame his sister), documentaries (his personal genre of choice), guns, shooting at the range, billiards, bargain shopping, whiskey tasting, Performance Arts + Disney (thanks, Millie), playing the stock market, painting with his ladies (he isn't very good at it), stargazing with Millie, fishing whenever he has time, since that's something he did with Jason, who was a fish enthusiast, studying on astronomy since Elizabeth Graves loved the stars (so does Millie), and sleep (he doesn't get enough, ever).
[color=azure]┗[/color] Bilingual (understands and speaks fluent Spanish).   
[color=azure]┗[/color] Owns an unmarked SSV Plug-in Hybrid Sedan. 
[color=azure][b]Family-related details:[/b][/color] 
[color=azure]┗[/color] Still owns his childhood home in West Palm Beach; Grayson used his parents' life insurances to pay off the mortgage, as well as the rest of his sister's high school career. His parents had money but they weren't filthy rich, especially since his late father wouldn't have gotten any of grandfather's money until after the old man died. That fucker is still kicken'. The Four Chambers' children wouldn't get any of Malcolm's wealth (old money) nor the lavishing, country home, Leacroft Manor, where they were born and raised, until they 'prove' their worth. Grandpa was (and still is) weird like that. His only exceptions were his grandchildren.  
[color=azure]┗[/color] Traditionally, Gray and his sister visit their grandfather, and other family members, who all are stingy with their money, once every year. Time frame changes depending on Grayson's schedule. Now they have a new member to bring along.
[color=azure]┗[/color] Kerri is a florist at Evermore Flower Shop and has little to no ambition to do much besides help Gray take care of Millie and maybe become a floral specialist without having to go to school. All she needs is experience and a certification! Truthfully, though? She'd be okay being a housewife and doing whatever she wants. For now, she mooches off her brother. Even before Millie was adopted, Kerri has clung to her brother, personally wanting to live with him versus any of the other Chambers. The old man would've kicked her out by twenty one, so she simply left on her own accord and invited herself into her brother's world.  
[color=azure]┗[/color] Grayson prefers a neutral to light [url=https://www.dailydreamdecor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/neutral-tone-apartment-28229.jpg]color scheme[/url] to his three bedroom apartment since his day-to-day life is morbid and trying. Kerri is a plant influencer on Instagram, so that does give his apartment pop (the apartment is turning into an amazon forest) and Millie sprinkles unicorn colors wherever she pleases, minus his bedroom, which dual roles as his office. No one is allowed in his bedroom. 
[color=azure]┗[/color] Millie wants to become a Broadway star, and maybe even have an acting career in musicals! She hopes her godfather never misses her shows. Her parents never did! Once a week, Gray makes time to take her to her parents' grave site. Millie appreciates this quality time.

[indent]Grayson never was good at approaching her. Any girl for that matter, but Amanda? She was never bothered. Never harassed. If she ever was, she made sure whoever offended was put in their place. A girl that knew she was untouchable. Their class wasn't big and it wasn't hard to find her. It was only a matter of time that he became stupid with love. They sometimes exchanged words and glances, when he had to pass papers to the desk behind him or when she gave speeches at assemblies. Every day he would find something more alluring about her. First, it was completely physical. The body. The hair. Her neck. Her face. Her eyes. Those lips. Then it grew into something more. He noticed little things about her like how she wore her hair each day, how well coordinated her outfits were, and how critical her stare was. A gaze that caused others to cower or look away. She was a bulldozer, driven to the point that she would run over her competition and anyone she considered an obstacle. The way she strutted down the halls, he knew she wanted to be seen. She liked the attention. So, he was just doing exactly what she wanted. Looking. Paying attention. Becoming more and more infatuated with her. She was everything he wanted and more. It's too bad he never did tell her how he felt. A wasted opportunity that he has learned to accept as his biggest mistake. [/indent]

[indent]While Grayson built his own kind of friendships with the King's Men, Brent did his thing and secured the band of brothers. The Boys are the people, rain or shine, that would never hate him (sorta). This is excluding someone that he absolutely despises. Outside of that one person? The rest were (are) boss men. Although he and Jason met Brent first, in middle school, Gray got incredibly close with Caden faster than he did the leader of the pack and it was thanks to a study group that he got pulled in, that also included Alex. Not saying Grayson didn't consider Brent a best friend, he did. What's there to dislike? But the way he and Caden connected was different and while Brent tried to mask problems with his friendliness and being as loyal as can be (he was foolhardy like that), Caden was the one that could give Gray a disapproving look which slapped sense into him. They still visit him in Chicago to this day. Caden more so than Brent, but Brent isn't the type to not stay in touch. He's never stopped being a good ass friend, even with the beef Gray has with others. So, of course, out of all the King's Men, Gray can confidently say he loves the both of them, and that's saying a lot for a man who doesn't love easily. Those two he'd jump in front of a bullet for. 

Now, his friendship with Alex started because of detention and there the two of them, with Willow, had a playful kind of friendship that grew into admiration and a kindred understanding. To the point that Alex felt inclined to play matchmaker and pair his two friends together. What a mistake. It was like he was doing Gray a favor when he didn't even ask for one. Okay, she was cute. Maybe the favor would be worth it. Ha, yeah right. Things changed between the three of them that one fateful night. They had something good, but that died fast. He doesn't dislike Alex. How could he when the one at fault was Gray himself? If anything, he's grateful he invited him to his wedding (even if it was a courtesy thing) and still talks to him whenever they do cross paths. That being said, Grayson isn't a fool and can definitely tell they can never be the same with one another because of prom night.  

Last but not least, Dre. One of the more simple relationships Gray has with the boys. Simple is good. Though Dre was definitely more close to Brent , Gray could respect the dude and if it wasn't for Dre, Gray probably would've flunked PE completely. Hell, if it wasn't for Dre's pointers when it came to health and wellness, Gray may have not even had what it takes to survive police academy. Dre is a true bro and it's nice watching him on TV as a point guard for the Brooklyn Nets. They may have lost touch, but Gray can at least follow his success as a NBA player.

Two incidents that caused a handful of girls to dislike him severely. TWO. He spent a couple years not getting in this kind of drama, but nah, his bad luck caught up with him eventually. Originally, he'd say he was on okay terms with all six of these ladies. Better terms with Grace and Allison because they kind of just had similar interests with him and he could keep a conversation going without making a complete fool of himself. That is until he noticed Allison's Adderall addiction and wanted to intervene. He had a mother who abused alcohol, so seeing a friend of his have her own addictive poison got him hot. Thinking he was doing the right thing, he tried to tell her that shit would kill her. Those weren't the exact words he said, but he tried! Well, it didn't end as he predicted and before he knew it, Camden came at him the day after, like she understood the situation. He rarely ever interacted with her until this day. Did she not care about her friend?! And to make things worse, he made her cry too, which only meant another girl would barge in soon after. The same day a girl that doesn't even have beef with people, whose one of the more sociable people at this school, like his boy Brent, and who had a thing with his other boy, Caden, brought out her claws. How could he make Reina, out of all people, upset?! She gave him chose words. It made him uncomfortable because there was intense menace in her eyes. And from that day on, those three - Allison, Camden, & Reina - barely associated themselves with him. Reina was mature and said hi whenever she was all over Caden though. Internally though? Gray knew she was watching him like a hawk. 

Not cool. 

To continue down the path of terrible luck with the female populace in his class, another incident happened. An incident that put him on three more girls' kill lists. Okay, here's what went down. Like the lonely boy he was, Gray decides maybe taking the sweet, pure Willow to prom would get him over a goddess. Down the grapevine, he found out she thought he was cute. She seemed the easiest to convince to be his date. And, he was right. She said yes and he was ready to treat her right. Go the nine yards. They'd match with colors, he'd get her a bouquet, a corsage, chocolate, a charm bracelet with cute animals on it, and compliments to show how much he appreciated the fact that she said yes to a loser like him. Sure, he was a bit excessive but she was his first official date for anything. He wasn't a virgin, but he never dated the girl he lost his virginity to. This was a big step up for him and all he wanted to do was forget for one night about—  

Yeah, right. 

Habitually, like he does during a regular school day, he kept staring at Amanda. He could remember slow dancing with Willow and how lovely Amanda looked, even if she was in the arms of No Name. This started a series of unfortunate events. Willow was glaring at him with watery eyes. [i]Slap![/i] She ran off and then the next thing he knew Jason side-stepped, getting closer to the King's Men, all who were distracted, to avoid something. Oh. Tara, who like Camden he didn't talk to much, was charging at him like a raging bull. If that wasn't enough punishment, that coming Monday, Grace displayed absolute disgust and broke any further friendship they could've had. 

Yeah, good times.

[indent]Is there much he needs to say about Jace? Sure, there was a time they were cool. Barely. But because of Brent, Grayson could be mature, but then as if life had forsaken him, he kept walking in at the worst times. When Jace's tongue was deep in Amanda's throat and his hand was fondling her perfectly shaped breast. Is it wrong for him to hate someone as much as he does Jace? Absolutely not. Gray has every right to his feelings and that piece-of-shit had the audacity to approach him while he was switching his books out for his next class. 

[color=BBEEFB]"Hey man, don't wanna cause any trouble, but... [b]what's your deal?"[/b][/color] 

What the fuck you mean? Isn't it obvious? YOU are my DEAL. 

[color=bc4f29]"...deal? Uh, nothing much. Bout' to go to history. What's yours?"[/color]

Okay, maybe Gray needs to get over these feelings his younger self was harboring. Maybe, for Brent, he can try to rekindle whatever friendship they had, if they even had anything. Everything he felt and saw was all in the past. There's no way when he sees Jace's face he'd want to punch it, right? He's over it. He's calm. He's collected. He can handle seeing [s]NO NAME[/s] Jace again. [/indent]

[indent]Ah Tessa. She has a special place in Grayson's heart because she was his first time. It was freshman year and he realized before he could even attempt chasing her best friend, he needed [i]experience[/i]. Something drew him to her, and this is before she gained such a thot reputation. Whether this is something to be proud about or not, he was one of her first v-card swipes that led her to have such an infamous rep at King's Academy. After a couple of fucks, she went to her next prey. When she got involved with Brent, they were able to talk more than they ever did before. But, like most of Gray's friendships at this school, they lost contact. He wouldn't say Tessa is his type, personality-wise, but she sure as hell has a hot body and if she still looks like she did ten years ago, he can see them fucking again. If there was one thing she taught him, it was you didn't need to love someone to have good sex. [/indent]

[indent]Teddy is the best friend to his best friend, which means if he didn't make an attempt to get to know the kid, what kind of friend would he be to Caden? His attempt to get to know the token gay boy in his class was half-assed up until a defining moment in his past. A moment that defined their respect for one another, which was when Teddy walked in the boy's locker room at the most opportune time: when Gray was getting called a 'fag' and being shoved in a locker. It was this instance they both discovered they had the same bully and Teddy saw a side to Gray that no one else really did. The wounded animal, who was battling a lot of personal turmoil. All because Gray wasn't wearing his mask. 

Aside from Theodore foolishly trying to jump in, Grayson took note at how bubbly, driven, and positive his peer was. They got close enough where Teddy was indeed in Gray's radar, but not too close where Gray would feel inclined to love and protect him. Two best friends (Brent & Caden) and one goddess (Amanda) was enough for him. Fortunately, Teddy would be one of the few people he'd be relieved to see at this reunion. Someone too lovable for words that may be the cause of Gray's sexual [i]curiosities[/i]. [/indent]
