Gregory Eli McGurten

15

Male

Greg

Deutragonist

Baby blue

96 lbs- see [HEIGHT]

5'4- because of the lack of basic nutrition provided at the Carriage House, his bones never grew correctly, and he's underweight

V. Pale blonde

Raggedy- Imogene sometimes crops it down carelessly when it gets 'too long' with whatever sharp implement she can find (usually a chunk of glass from the window).

None

Human

Extremely pale

Lithe/ lanky (not like the healthy kind of lithe though)

To please the homunculi (beginning)
Help/protect his friends (end)

Physical: malnourished and sickly; cannot power the Line Box and gets tired easily
In Character: too passive in the face of possible danger towards himself (zero sense of self-preservation). His confidence is fairly beaten down because his sense of self-worth is defined by his nonexistent ability to help out Imogene and Cordelia, although this changes when he finds friends in Peter and Kezya.

Sneaking around silently

Reading, talking to Erkward, watching the squirrels outside his window (he likes to narrate the squirrels' actions as if they were characters in a great drama)
Luckily Greg is fairly introverted, so he can entertain himself easily in his monotonous bed-life.

He's positive by nature, but the environment in which he's been raised has made him almost meek and afraid of negative confrontation. Nevertheless, he hates seeing other people getting in trouble (especially if he could be the one taking the brunt of the trouble instead- he's a bit of a masochist in this way), and is drawn to sneak around in order to deflect such encounters. Because of this, he tends to take the blame for a lot of shit he's not guilty of. He becomes less afraid to protect himself as he becomes better friends with Peter and Kezya, who are both mildly horrified by his lack of self-preservation skills.

Christian Sentiments- Not officially indited into any religion (couldn't be baptized or anything because he is being raised by non-humans in the middle of the woods)

Getting the Homunculi across the line

Blue

Any

He has a lot of books left in the Carriage House by whoever last inhabited it before the homunculi, but his favorite is a withering copy of Moby Dick, published during the time when the homunculi were alive. He likes this book the best because it's long, as well as because of the great adventure it tells, where his life is incredibly non-adventurous.

Squirrel- they're the most abundant animals in the near-suburban woods of Alabama, and he can pass a good hour or so watching them from his window.

Gregory's unstable mother, Madeline, left him for dead in the woods out behind her house when he was born, in a fit of rage. The Homunculi saw this and took him back to their house, keeping him alive in order to use him to get across the line (a transportation box that can only be powered by humans). However, the poor medical practice in the Carriage House, along with overexertion to get across has made Gregory's immune system incredibly weak, and he has become rather sickly and frail. He first sees Kezya return to the woods, and realizes that the Livingston House is, once again, inhabited.
