VERSES: Gray

and yes, all Grays tags Do come from Frozen, sorry not sorry

❰ ❄ ― verse.01. gray. ❱

Post-war (typically at least a few months after it, but can be immediately after depending on plotting): He thought he’d been doing okay with everything. Finally felt a little settled, even getting his head around Fairy Tail suddenly being back. But then the war…the war truly was like nothing else he’d ever faced. He nearly died. His close friends and many others nearly died (some did die) and he almost became consumed by his demonic magic in a killing rage. It left him shaken. He’s not yet ready to try returning to how things were, he’s not sure if it’s even possible. He’s not sure he trusts himself around anyone either.  And so he has decided to take leave of Fairy Tail, and will only consider returning and having his guildmark once more if he’s finally sure of himself and his own path (he may even decide against returning to the guild-mage life). For now, he’s got a base in the northern Fiorean mountains but he makes trips in all directions for weeks at a time, helping with the rebuilding efforts where he can. He doesn’t like to stay anywhere around people for too long, as part of him feels he brings destruction and misfortune wherever he goes, it’s why he’s hesitating to return to the place he really wants to go - his hometown.

Anytime Post Avatar/Pre-war/War (can also include if he Stayed in FT post war): Like many, he was left shaken after the events of Tartaros, but unlike the others, he also had to learn how to handle the incredibly powerful demon slaying magic given to him. He disappeared to the mountains to try and cope with everything and get a handle on the new magic. But hearing of Fairy Tail’s disbandment threw him off further and caused a spike in the demonic magic, dark markings appearing across his body. He had to seek help from Porlyusica. It was around that time that he ran into Erza and they argued about Fairy Tail. She managed to ease away some of his bitterness with a Nakama Power™ speech and they ended up teaming up for the Avatar job (Gray did not abandon Juvia without a word btw). After the ordeal with Avatar came to an end, and he got through the trials (because he was arrested and screened heavily for his involvement, regardless of what his intentions had been). He rejoined Fairy Tail for the revival. They rescued Makarov from Alvarez and have the threat of war looming over them.

❰ ❄ ― verse.03. gray. ❱

Avatar: Gray is posing as a member of Avatar and walks along the edge of darkness and madness for it. He has to do whatever it takes to maintain his position and learn whatever he can. Due to consistent use of his demon slaying magic to keep up appearances, the dark ice is at times fracturing his sanity and beginning to encase his heart. This verse can also include him becoming completely Evil™ and losing himself to the demon magic at any point in the future timeline.

❰ ❄ ― verse.04. gray. ❱

Post-Avatar, Gray does not return for the Fairy Tail revival, instead continues to team up with Crime Sorciere, as his goal is to defeat E.N.D and Zeref and it aligns with theirs. This verse can also include Gray not being involved with Avatar at all and simply joining CS during the disbandment year in general. Either case, this connection to them, along with his demonic mage and the danger it presents, pulls him into a similar situation to the CS members with their conditional pardons/probations where he is put under the supervision of Yukino.

This verse can probably be tweaked to work for most fantasy/medieval settings but is mostly made with the BotW game in mind. Anyone who lived in the harsh, cold lands of the Hebra region had to be hardworkers, survivors. Gray was no exception, especially not after the death of his family at the hands of a horde of monsters when he was young. Left on his own, he eventually picked up the tools his blacksmith father had left behind and began to work the trade. As an adult now, and highly skilled in his craft, he sells (or sometimes trades) the weapons and armour he makes. When he’s not forging or selling, he’s out exploring and fighting monsters, looking for new materials and for a way to be rid of monsters for good. While typically a lone wolf, he has formed a party with certain people at times in order to have the best chance at exploring particular areas. He has a horse named Snowfall and a dog called Blizzard.

A trainer specializing in the training of ice types, he originates from a village near Snowpoint City, Sinnoh. When he was young, his hometown was destroyed by a rampaging pokemon, (but no, his family actually survives in this verse), believed to be the legendary Palkia, and it was that day that he swore revenge. After learning about pokemon and battling from a specialist, he set out on his journey to continue learning and training, always working towards the goal of defeating Palkia. His on hand team consists of Sneasel, Abomasnow, Floatzel, Lucario, Alolan Sandslash, and Alolan Vulpix.
