King Grayson is the embodiment of Youth™ (big capital Y and trademark all very important, trust me), driven by an infectious energy and an unstoppable need to engage with the world around him. He wears his heart on his sleeve, making him an approachable presence anywhere. With an innate ability to connect with others, King thrives on social interaction, often going out of his way to make others feel included. However, his admittedly overwhelming enthusiasm and tendency to act on impulse can sometimes lead to clashes with those who prefer to keep their distance. For King, these barriers are mere obstacles to be overcome, to chip away at -if not smash right through in the crudest way possible-, as he passionately believes in sharing the joys of life with everyone he meets.

Despite his easygoing nature, King is far from being just a carefree spirit. Beneath his laid-back exterior lies a sharp, perceptive mind, capable of quickly assessing situations and efficiently tackling tasks. Whether it's his responsibilities as a student council member or his academic pursuits, King consistently delivers impressive results, often surprising those who underestimate him based on his light-hearted demeanor. His tendency to wander off on irrelevant flights of fancy or poke fun at those around him can hide his true capabilities, causing some to suspect that his achievements are the work of others or a product of unfair advantages. The latter in particular isn't that difficult to spread around, with how he enjoys the benefits of his wealth quite openly. But, King takes these misconceptions in stride, his focus always on the next matter of interest or opportunity to spread some cheer.

Raised in a household that balanced privilege with perspective, King grew up with a strong sense of responsibility toward those less fortunate. His parents, both accomplished figures in the film industry, shielded him from the perils of fame while instilling in him an appreciation for his blessings. This upbringing fostered in King a deep desire to give back, whether it was befriending a lonely classmate, learning sign language to communicate with a neighbor, splurging some cash on a whim on someone, or simply sharing his snacks. His natural want to help others, even if it at times feels quite intrusive, comes from a genuine place of care and a belief that everyone deserves a bit of kindness in their lives. Even as he navigates the relatively calm waters of his own life, King remains ever eager to lend a hand, his heart always in the right place, even if his methods can be a bit... much.

King Grayson is, at his core, a force of positive vibes, someone who moves through life with a sense of purpose, motivated by empathy and a need to connect. His pushy nature and nosiness, while potentially irritating to some, are just part of his larger-than-life personality. For King, life is about embracing every moment, every opportunity to make a difference, no matter how small. And while his impulsive actions and relentless energy might occasionally lead him into trouble, he's always ready to set things right with a smile on his face and a willingness to give it another shot.

trivia
✦ King was mesmerized in his youth by tokusatsu shows and dreams of a day when he could write, direct, and act in a show or movie of his own making on a bigger budget. To get a chance to fully realize the potential the genre has and show it has potential for a wider audience while still retaining the more cheesy charm of the genre.

He's been working on a proof of concept for the past three years to make a short film. The script is ready, outfits are in storage, and right now he simply needs to find the talent and a crew. He refuses to hire professionals, wanting to make it happen with people he likes through the fun of doing it. He plans on paying anyone that becomes involved though, of course. Money never was the problem.

He has a suit for himself in his closet, of course. The design is based on his old doodles as a kid who dreamed of being a masked ranger of justice.

✦ Does well in school. Now, he's no top student, but he is surprisingly high up there in terms of his results. He studies quite dutifully despite what many would believe from his general demeanor.

✦ Became the student council president unintentionally. Joined the election on his second year for a bit but ended up winning the vote, because unsurprisingly a vote by a bunch of teenagers will end up being a popularity vote, and a social butterfly with friends all over the school is bound to win such a thing. Now stuck with the role, he does try and do the work required for it, even if his attitude and methods can cause the results to fluctuate a lot. Not rare for the other members to pick up on his slack at times.

✦ The student council has "problem boxes" set up within the school building and dorms for students to place notes to list off any problems they may be observing or having themselves. An idea that King had and he checks up on the boxes often, personally going through the issues and trying to solve them. Of course, he also does some personal scouting for people to make into his "projects" to solve their problems whether they ask or not.

This hands-on attitude had earned him the title of "Busybody Prez," or so he claims. Nobody's ever heard him be called that, so most people simply assume he gave himself that title for "marketing" purposes.

✦ Can and does at random visit different clubs based on flights of fancy, using the excuse of "student council business" to observe and even join the activities.

✦ Runs weekly game nights for friends and even random students interested in giving TTRPGs a try. Most of them are left as one-shorts or two to three session campaigns. There is one campaign that's been running ever since his first year in the academy that is going on the side too. Of course, he's the DM and spends a pretty penny on this hobby, because he can and wants to.

✦ King's greatest skill is his acting chops, able to perform effortlessly -relatively speaking, getting into the mental state does take effort- every facet of human emotion to a frighteningly convincing degree. He can cry at will, change his voice at an impressive range, and a whole lot more. There's a reason why he was considered a prodigy child actor, and his time out of the spotlight hasn't caused that skill to get rusty.

✦ King keeps in shape and has quite the routine he goes through to maintain a certain threshold of fitness and acrobatic ability. He does this for himself two-fold. 1) Being fit makes him feel good and gives him a big confidence boost, and 2) he wants to look good when he performs action scenes if he ever does get to do those. He doesn't want to have everything done by a stunt double or to look awkward in front of the camera.

✦ Claims his hairstyle was inspired by a tube of toothpaste and it's simply something stupid he decided to do when coming to Panacea Academy to make a strong first impression, and it just kind of stuck. Has that great "dumbass charm" to it, he claims. You don't want to know how much hair gel he goes through in a month.

✦ Is fluent in American Sign Language, has a solid grasp of Japanese, and knows some rough Spanish.

✦ Performed in a total of four movies and two shows in main roles, with some side and minor appearances in a couple dozen other projects between ages 4-9. His parents were careful in how much of a spotlight he had growing up and figured to stop altogether to wait till he's older at a certain point to let their son grow first and choose if he wants to be an actor at that point.
