Grimm

[color=ed1c24][b]Age:[/b][/color] Grimm estimates her own age to be around one hundred and sixty years old. According to what little she has given us to work with, many of her kind age one year for every five that pass, and she could walk and talk by the time she ended up in our world. With that information given, we estimate she was likely around 40 or 50 years old and had the body of a 4 or 5 year old when she ended up here. 

[color=ed1c24][b]Appearance:[/b] [/color]
Ruyn Grimm is a humanoid female standing at 6’5”. Long and wavy red hair that ends at her thighs seems to blow about gently in an unseen and unfelt wind when not bound or put up. Her skin is an almost unnaturally pale color, as if she hasn’t gotten much sun and has a slight rosy tint. Her right eye is a purely gold color, glowing a bright almost white color where her pupils should be. The same gold color applies to her left sclera which are known as the “whites” of the eyes. Her left eye is that same gold color with a bright glow where her pupil should be, but the sclera for that eye is a dark crimson red, almost like blood. Grimm’s face is normal-until you get near the bottom of her nose and across her mid cheekbones, where her skin graduates into bone, showing sharp serrated teeth that collectively look like a cross between piranha, shark and some sort of needle-toothed horror. The spaces between her teeth, the spaces that should show the inside of her mouth are obscured by a smoky/misty substance that simply cannot be identified as attempts at gathering samples have been unsuccessful. It’s noted that both hands and feet have clawed nails. 

A pair of red horns curve away from her head and then back in an S shape, located above and slightly diagonal to her temples. A long tail with an isosceles triangle tip has also been seen on her as well as a pair of large and leathery dragon-like wings but attempts to see them in person have failed as she can bring them in and out of existence at will. Every attempt at blocking this natural ability has failed as it seems to be more like a muscular reflex than any sort of “magic.”

Her body build is largely that of an athlete like a swimmer and runner or warrior but still has an hourglass figure that’s she’s been known to **use to get what she wants. A large dark red rose tattoo covers much of her left breast and the center of what she refers to as her “natural Mark.” This “Mark” that she claims she has had since birth, curls up from the top of the rose, around her left shoulder and down her bicep to end at the crease of her elbow. A second part curves out and then back in, in a slight “S” shape from the right middle of the rose, up her collarbone and neck, ending just behind her shoulder. It also curls down and diagonally across her side and abdomen from the bottom of the rose. It’s characterized by a base of three lines, with “S” shaped swirls curving along the top and middle, and middle and bottom. There are small circles in between them, but only on the top and bottom rows of stripes.

Grimm has heavy scarring over much of her body, including thick jagged scars on her wrists and ankles that suggest captivity (confirmed when she snarled about being “nobody’s slave ever again”), heavy whip and lash marks on her back and the backs of her thighs, as well as her inner thighs. The ones on her inner thighs suggest assault, and scarring around her throat indicates being collared by a metal shackle as well as some others that suggest attempted beheading. Various scars cover her arms and legs, including scarring around her horns and a long scar that goes from above her left eyebrow and down into the bone where it looks like it’s been scored, a good indication of how severe this injury was. Grimm’s face has also looked completely human until she opened her mouth and revealed her unnatural teeth and a forked, pierced tongue.

Grimm has three piercings in each ear (traditional earlobe piercing, one in the upper curve of her ear and another in the curve closest to her head), one in both eyebrows and the one in her mouth. There are a few piercings in her genital areas. She is allowed to keep her piercings as she has shown extreme violence towards anyone who attempts to forcibly remove them. Once one of them was willfully given to staff for testing, it was proven to not be of a metallic material, and therefore not a potential weapon for the metal manipulating inmate they had in there, as well as not having any visible posts like normal piercings use to stick into flesh. She normally wears the usual black prison jumpsuit with the sleeves rolled to her elbows, the white shirt underneath exposed by the undone buttons that were on the front, her hair either pulled up in a tight Mohawk braid, or in a bun where her long hair still trails down her shoulders due to its sheer length. Sometimes she wears the black mask that they gave her to wear, both for her own comfort and to negate the terrifying effect that looking at her terrifying teeth has on a good majority of people.

[hider=Psyche Profile:]
Ruyn Grimm can be quite hostile when approached or when she feels threatened, never has shown hesitancy in striking out at someone she feels the need to defend herself from. She has the tendency to lean towards bloodthirsty, adrenaline-fueled behavior, especially when riled up or threatened, acting with extreme violence and primal ferocity that has required the use of nearly eight guards to restrain her from tearing her enemy into pieces as her sharp nails are quite capable of slicing through flesh, even when freshly clipped and dulled. Grimm has expressed a sadistic delight in killing and hurting others, mainly those who have hurt her, or those who take her freedom from her, resulting in her extreme hostility and resentment towards all staff and many other inmates who have started problems with her in the past. 

When she isn’t in an angry blood-lust or angry in general, she’s reserved and keeps to herself aside from maybe one other inmate that she seems to relate to and talks to sometimes. In normal circumstances, Grimm is generally aloof and keeps to herself, a reserved but intimidating and hostile being who speaks few words to fellow inmates and even fewer words to staff unless she absolutely has to, either of her own will or because it would result in an undesired outcome (such as when her piercings would have been taken from her completely, as she has expressed that they’re important to mental health, which was later confirmed in a test). What words she does speak are often sarcastic or snappish, or intended to get her point across with as little said as possible. 

She lashes out both with verbal and physical retaliation at sexual slurs and comments, gets extremely violent around certain kinds of male staff; usually, it is the ones who make sexual comments and attempt to touch her in specific/inappropriate places. This violence though seems to stem from anger, a place of trauma and remembered fear. Combined with the scars on her inner thighs, it has been estimated that she’s been sexually assaulted, and was potentially in captivity of a cruel individual when it happened. Many of her scars are traumatic in their presentation, including what have been identified as wolf teeth marks in her legs and the marks of a steel bear trap on the other, leading us to conclude much of her behavior stems from the resulting PTSD from the highly likely trauma and lack of mental health help, but also due in part to some level of natural instinct. 

She is also shown to have chronic depression and has a habit of engaging in severe self-deprecation, or getting so angry and sad over the loss of her loved ones that she starts screaming about how she wants to tear to shreds every last one of the people who took them from her, and “What did I do so wrong as a child that I am punished eternally? Why punish the innocents?” A common phrase heard uttered by her during these extreme bouts of depression and anger is “I’m broken, of course, that’s why everyone throws me away.”

What little conversation she’s held with us regarding her past paints a picture of a damaged and broken but strong and resilient individual who suffered through much abuse trauma until she finally snapped when the only thing she loved was taken from her. It’s possible she could have been a stable individual who poses no threat to humanity had the events in her life that had happened to her not occurred instead. As she is now, she is highly dangerous; extremely violent and hostile, unpredictable with her moods and she likes killing and hurting people. How far she is willing to go and what lines she won’t cross are unclear.

[hider=Background]
 What little is known of Grimm is shrouded in mystery and questions and Grimm being of the temperament she is, is not willing to discuss it at length. She seems to prefer giving us the pieces of the whole puzzle of her history in the form of snarky or rage-fueled remarks that are aimed towards making the receiver of them to feel like “a complete fucking asshole like they fucking deserve,” or to “hammer the fucking point into their head like an ice pick into their skull.”

What we do know is that her mother was murdered when she was young, and hearing of her mother's death caused her to shadow-travel (more on that later) to our realm whereupon she could not get back as she was just beginning to learn her inborn abilities. She has indicated she found safety for awhile after this event until a meta-human hate group conducted a violent raid on the property in which she had found shelter, separating her from the few beings she trusted. After an incident that resulted in a comment about slavery, Grimm was interviewed about it.
The topic was obviously beyond painful, and the interviewing staff didn't wish to cause her any distress, so questions were kept relatively generic so as to avoid a potentially dangerous outburst from Grimm. Grimm did say though, that she was enslaved as a child and abused in every way imaginable, until she reached adolescence where it got worse. It is noted that at this point, Grimm began to show signs of emotional distress, likely due to the trauma triggered by the questions, the interview ended shortly after, but not before it was confirmed that Grimm had been horrible sexually assaulted for decades, mostly by creatures of the male gender and as a result, is extremely hostile to almost all males.

Grimm was freed from slavery by what was one of the first bands of heroes in the early days, seventy years prior to present day, and had been free until she ended up here. Grimm says there was a short period of time after being freed where she simply scrambled and scrounged to survive until a group of people who called themselves “Hunters” captured her simply for being a demon and tortured her. Grimm was near death when she claims that the Patron Goddess of Death Demons appeared and saved her from what would have been her death before she was a full adult and gave her the strength to break free and tear the Hunters to shreds. Grimm also claims that this being is the reason why Grimm herself is so powerful and why she can harvest souls the way she does, having been gifted with a power no other demon alive has ever had.

A few years later, Grimm had eventually opened up her own nightclub and bar named The Sanctuary, one that was immensely popular with the local humans, meta-humans, and supernatural beings alike. It was here that she started to make a name for herself as The Grimm One aka Grimm Reaper or even just the Reaper. Stories began to whisper from the shadows of The Sanctuary, one telling of a man who had drugged the customer's drinks with date rape chemicals only for Grimm to rip his throat out with her teeth in front of everyone in the club, of slamming another man into the ground by his head until he was dead for attempting to rob the place and everyone in it at gunpoint. 

There was also a sense of savage satisfaction when these stories were spoken of though, an “eye for an eye” mentality almost, and naturally this concerned local law enforcement. They sent undercover agents into the bar, but never could find anything illegal, and never saw anything violent happen like what was described. A patrol unit was sent in to ask questions, but nothing illegal was going on. Grimm's alcohol permit was valid, nothing was out of place, there were no illegal items or other such things to be found, no proof of any past murders, nothing. Grimm even let them take samples of the carpet where both men were reported to have been murdered, but nothing. Not even a speck of blood to condemn her. The Local PD knew something went on at The Sanctuary, but Grimm was too good, she had a few powerful friends in powerful places and she clearly wasn't afraid to use them, supernatural or not.

Five years pass, one more story is whispered from the shadows again, but this time, it wasn't one of death, but of love. Grimm was reported to be seen with a smaller female of unknown origin, and they were definitely romantic. Kissing lips, holding hands, menacing the people who stared at her female with her horrifying lower face and glowing eyes. Grimm herself admitted the little female had been her mate, the only love of her life and that she would and had killed people for her out of protection. They somehow had a biological child together and Grimm was the happiest she had ever been in her entire long life. 

It was Christmas Even morning, Christmas was a holiday that Grimm admits she still didn't fully understand even after thirty years when she lost that happiness and she and her little family were eating breakfast in the kitchen. Grimm got an urgent call from one of her staff at The Sanctuary and had to go, leaving her mate and their young child at home. When Grimm got to Sanctuary, she was confused, there was no urgent matter and the staff who had called her was confused, claiming she hadn't called her, but that some “Humans in weird, armored black clothing came in smelling like danger and asked for you.” Grimm shadow-traveled home to find her mate and child surrounded by Hunters, sharp blades at their necks, crying, scared, and already bloodied from the abusive hate this group had for all non-humans. Grim tried to bargain with them, take her, leave her mate and child alone. Her bargaining fell on deaf ears, the Hunters raised their blades and Grimm screamed in pure rage and pain as she darted forwards but was stopped by an invisible force, helpless to do anything but watch as her mate mouthed “I love you” in her native tongue before their heads were severed from their necks. 

Whatever force held her in place no longer could as she screeched, this time with demonic power behind it that made it echo and ring with a dark, terrifying quality that made the Hunters try to flee, enraging her further. She pulled a long bone-colored scythe topped with a skull and roses beneath it from seemingly out of nowhere, slicing through two of their necks and dismembering them before savagely drop-kicking their heads through the front windows of her home with a shattering of glass and a scream of fear from the street that went ignored. Grimm sliced the remaining hunters into chunks and ribbons, making a bloody gory mess of herself and her home's interior walls. Meanwhile, the local PD was thrilled to finally have a reason to go to the Grimm residence, hoping to put what they thought was a criminal away for good, not expecting a horrific scene of violence and tragedy that they encountered.

They found Grimm keening over the bodies of her loved ones, their heads placed above their necks, demonic voice raising the hairs on the arms of the officers that entered the house. Grimm told hem, in that same voice to go away or die. The cops refused despite being terrified, and after five minutes of Grimm getting more and more wrathful with wanting to left alone to grieve, she had had enough and attacked them, too, this time with her clawed hands, having discarded the scythe by this point. The second cop managed to call for backup before his throat was torn out by Grimm's teeth, like she'd done to the man in Sanctuary all those years ago.
Grimm killed five more cops before going on a blind, wrath fueled rampage throught the neighborhood, killing several cops squads intentionally, and several dozen civilians who were caught in the crossfire until a combination of the local team of heroes and a Special OPS anti-nonhuman Squad was able to be called in to help. Most of them were people who had previously known Grimm and genuinely liked her and had fostered friendly relationships with her. Many reported being heavily burdened by this event, once Grimm was successfully apprehended and detained to be brought where she is now.
One quote has stuck out the most to all authorities involved in the event and the aftermath following said event, one that she'd some much-needed light on the circumstances of Grimm's actions before, during, and after the killings and is as follows:

[i]“I don't know, man, it's just incredibly tragic. Ruyn kept things to herself, and unless you were a beloved friend or family member she didn't talk much, never mind about herself. But what little she did say was enough to for most of us to know she was a good person who had been through hell. If the scars that covered her body didn't tell you that, then her family had no problem doing it themselves. They were not afraid to tell you, 'hey. You see Ruyn over there? Yeah, she grew up being abused and assaulted and the last thing she needs is your dumb fucking ass making life a living hell for her again.' Most people hear the story of the mage getting his throat torn out, look at Ruyn and her scars, her wickedly scary teeth, and go 'Nah, man, I don't want any trouble, I'm good.' And she gave so much to the local community, so to see that she lost everything that mattered to her in that way is horrible. I don't blame her. I would've tried to kill them, too. 

“The saddest part is this could have been avoided had those cops simply let her grieve and take care of her family. They were so intent she was a bad person, so intent on getting her locked up for something bad and you know what? They got their wish but they should've been careful what they wished for.”[/i]
