Adler Grayson


 * “If you think they’re gonna let you and yours just walk out of here, you deserve that bullet between the eyes…”
 * - Adler to Ethan Hale when the Bobcats take the Church.

Pre-Apocalypse
Alder was born one minute before his twin brother, Brandon, and his mother thought that she had been blessed. They hadn’t known that she was carrying twins. Therefore, Brandon was a surprise and was always treated this way. Of the two twins, he was the favorite, despite Brandon’s insistence that wasn’t the case. Felix was born a little over a year later, and the Graysons were pleased with their family of five. That was until Marisse Grayson couldn’t bare the thought of her babies growing up too fast. Mark Grayson was born nine months later.

Physical Appearance
Alder was always the more confident and flirty Grayson child, and this made him come across as more attractive. He has the trademark dirty blond hair, pale skin and light brown eyes, and while he and Brandon were identical twins, he was still a few inches taller and slightly more pronounced cheekbones. Telling the two apart wasn’t as difficult as it may have been assumed.

Personality
Some people called Alder a total dick, because he could be. He still can be. There’s a way he treats people he doesn’t care about that makes them know he couldn’t care less whether they like him or not. He’s also never shied away from violence: he and his best friend Jan used to get in fights with the jocks plenty of times. Alder’s also a little selfish. He doesn’t mind making other people unhappy if it means he himself will be happy in the end.
