| Bio: | ![]() Justin Grant Age: 26 D.O.B.: 6-27-1982 Blood Type: B+ Race: Born Witch Powers: White magic Level 5, working hard to master it. Physical Description: 5'11" with short brown hair and soft features, the way the broad shouldered young man carries himself can only be described as submissive. Usually his head is down, eyes averted, and stance held slightly away from whoever is addressing him, as if he's constantly threatened with bodily harm. Sexuality: Bisexual History: Inheriting his powers from his mother Justin grew up traveling the world with his parents. Both doctors who are determined to make a difference in the countries where doctors were most needed. From the time he was old enough to walk Justin's family traveled all over Africa, Asia, and South America, owning no home and living off of the money that his mother's wealthy father provided them. However, Justin' globe trotting days were suspended when he turned nine and, concerned for his grandson's education, his grandfather demanded that he return to England to be properly schooled. Justin, however, did not enjoy his time in his grandfather's house. Growing up traveling left him restless and with a unique blend of interests he'd picked up from the many cultures he found it extremely hard to settle into a single home and connect with his peers. He was often made fun of for his accent and strange views and concerns, and soon became a favorite target for bullying when it was discovered that as outspoken and strange as he was, he didn't have it in him to stand up to his tormentors. After only a year and a half in school with the other children Justin's grandfather finally pulled him out, hiring a tutor to give him the education at home. For the rest of his school years Justin his inside his grandfather's house, trading letters with his pen pals and rarely venturing out lest he run into his tormentors again. When Justin turned seventeen he left home to go to college. Though he still had minor skirmishes with the bullies that zoned in on him like flies to honey he still found that he liked college a lot, able to keep to himself and focus on his studies in an environment that was much more open to change and alternative ideas. Not holding himself in high enough regard to attempt to be a doctor he instead began training to be a nurse, figuring he would still be helping people but with oversight. And as a nurse he'd be able to assist real doctors and help them do their jobs better. He also spent a while getting a vetinary degree just in case he had to treat animals at one point. Or people stuck in a were form. After graduation Justin was finally able to continue traveling the world, as he'd dreamed of doing since he was sent to live with his grandfather. After a couple years of global trecking, however, he realized he really just wanted to hole up again and live his own independent life. His grandfather offered him a home where his great Aunt used to live, and although he was inclined to decline the offer, he realized the folly of turning down a free house and settled in Ann Arbor. Since the Light of May: Justin's life has changed little. He was still settling into his job at the hospital and volunteering at the local pet shelter when the Light of May occurred, and as a result simply hid his powers more carefully, trying to work his healing into normal courses of treatment when it's needed so that it only seems like natural reaction to scientific treatments. At most it's been wondered if his patients don't seem unusually lucky, as even the most dire cases tend to react well to treatments and heal relatively quickly or feel less chronic pain after leaving the hospital. Family: Father: George Grant (Whereabouts unknown, last heard from in Zimbabwe, Africa), Mother: Celina Grant (Whereabouts unknown, last heard from in Zimbabwe, Africa), Grandfather: James Marx (London, England). Personality: Justin is, in a word, shy. Ever since he was a child he seems to have attracted bullies, and years of being made fun of and tormented as a kid have turned him into a withdrawn and guarded adult. He doesn't speak to anybody unless spoken to, convinced that if he opens his mouth on any topic other than medicine he will inevitably come across as an idiot. He works very hard at being the best at what he is, however, and is always very professional when in front of patients or his bosses. Special Skills/Abilities: Justin can treat humans and animals alike medically and has been practicing his spell writing, however, he also has a secret passion for comic books, which began when he was a bullied child and persisted throughout his years. He has an extensive collection and even writes and draws his own series, though nobody has once found out about or read his original works. Personal Weaknesses: Shy: Justin is painfully shy. He rarely makes eye contact, and partially thanks to his childhood never learned or mastered interaction with peers. Bosses he can submit to, underlings he can pass instruction to, but any time he meets somebody as a social equal in any situation he seizes up and tends to move away as quickly as he can. Self Conscious/Doubting: Constant fearing of social interaction mostly stems from the firm belief that unless he is reciting from a medical textbook or explaining something to a patient any time he opens his mouth complete and utter rubbish comes out. He became a nurse specifically because if he sticks to the science he doesn't believe he has what it takes to become a doctor. He rarely reads his own comic books when they're finished because he ends up hating them so much that he burns them. He has only written two spells in his life because he's sure they won't work, and he's never practiced them on a living creature. Stutter: Justin stutters, a speech impediment that was tolerable when he traveled with his parents but which steadily got worse when he left them and went to school. The stutter is usually manageable and light when he's speaking from memory or about medicine, but like his normal attitude sharpens severely when he's unsure of what to say or how the news will be reacted to. Gullible: He has a hard time reading faces and detecting lies. He's prone to take anything semi-believable to heart, whether is an actual occurance or just a joke being played on him. Personal Strengths: Honesty/Integrity: Justin takes his work as a healer seriously. He never leaves a patient and he never puts his job second to his personal life. If he gives his word, he keeps it, and it's rare that he tells a lie, and not just because he's no good at it. Polite: Justin has the manners of a gentleman. He may seem a bit old fashioned, but he holds the door open for others, lays his coat across puddles for women or the elderly, and never takes a seat if there are more bodies than there are chairs, or the last piece of cake from the cafeteria. Empathetic: The boy feels for rocks. His heart may leap into his throat at the idea of talking to a person he likes, but it also takes in every sob story and feels every problem others experience as if they've been inflicted upon him. This makes him a caring and attentive nurse, but also affects him greatly. Creative: His only outlet may be his comics, but he's very good at what he does, even if he doesn't think so. He works a lot to develop his story lines and though he has several influences his work is unique and well done. Currently he has two series that he is working on; one super hero comic and another about a post apocolyptic world. Lifestyle: Living Conditions: Resides in a small, well kept house on Maple St. It belonged to his great aunt before and stood empty for two years before he came, so it's still in need of a couple repairs. Career/Job: Nurse at the hospital, volunteer at the pet shelter. Other: Pets:
