Name: » Owen Grady
Age: » 36 (born: July 6th, 1979)
Gender: » Male
Sexual Orientation:
» Heterosexual
Occupation: » Velociraptor-Trainer
Personality: » The ex soldier is indeed kind at heart. A true gentleman, some would say, as he would never raise a hand against women or children. However, considering his earlier occupations as well as their endings, he is no man to stay at one place for long enough. He has a definite problem with authorities, especially if their opposed to his own opinion on the situation, and whilst he would always try his best to save lives -- whether they belong to a human or an animal --, he nonetheless has a definite problem with being unable to do so in the end. Especially the events on Isla Nublar taught him that. However, he always tries his best to block his own emotions out. Always stays professional with his job and the people he works with, unless something significantly related to himself happens in his own awareness. If that happens, emotions often take over the rational mind, and he tends to be a little reckless at times.
Skills/Abilities: - Survival-Instinct: Being a former US-Navy member, Owen knows how to survive in natural areas. He knows to track, navigate, and -- if absolutely necessary -- even how to hunt, however rarely he would actually use it. He knows how to use a wide variety of weapons as well, both ranged and immediate combat.
- Handling-the-big-boys: With being a Velociraptor-trainer for years, the former soldier learnt quite much about the behaviour and skills of a born killer in form of a dinosaur. He knows about their excellent smelling, their amazing communication both verbal and physical, and he knows basic tricks to either get a dinosaurs attention, or to distract them again. Nonetheless, he is still human, and by far not without respect.
- Biker: With living in the skirmish areas around the park for years, Owen soon learnt how to drive and build a motorcycle, no matter what label. Nonetheless, he still needs the exact components to assemble it properly.
Frailties:- What-is-authority?: With his recent job anyways, Owen is a pure natural at leading. And thus, he easily engages into fiery arguments with another person in charge. In worst case scenarios, he even completely ignores the given commands, and 'does it his way'.
Backstory: » Being a former US-Navy soldier, Owen Grady had always been the 'I will survive'-kind of guy.
As he left the US army though, InGen quickly hired the man to take part in their Velociraptor-programm. His mission was to train a new squad of raptors from their early age on, though completely unaware of InGen's actual plans with them. Since then he lived in a bungalow in the skirmish areas around the theme park Jurassic World, the raptors not far away. Eventually, however, he was hired by Claire Dearing to test the security standards of their newest tourist attraction's compound. And upon spotting scratch marks on the building's inner walls, he assumed the intelligent hybrid had already escaped, although eventually setting him free by attempting to escape the Indominus-Rex' claws. Immediately after, he worked on re-capturing the creature, and was finally assigned alongside his raptors to hunt it down.
The hunt was successfuly, but Charlie, Echo, and Delta lost their lives. Or at least, that was what he thought, as he afterwards left the island.
Former experience with Jurassic Park/World:
» The blond was the former trainer of the Velociraptor-squad, that eventually hunted down the
Indominus-Rex as said hybrid went loose on the island. Afterwards, he left the island, the park, and Blue, and tried his best at regaining a somewhat civil life.
Years later, however, InGen once more contacted him about their plans on re-opening the park. And whilst the former soldier would never agree to something as stupid as that, he nonetheless finally agreed in favour of saving Blue -- who was hopefully still alive --, and the dinosaurs from another catastrophe.
Whilst he seems rather approving of InGen's plans, he will nonetheless do his best to sabotage the 'mission'.
