player information ● name: Ricks ● age: 30 ● contact:extreminator ● other characters: James T. Kirk (Star Trek AOS)
character information ● name: Owen Grady ● canon:Jurassic World ● canon point: about two years after Jurassic World (2015) ● age: unspecified; I'll be going with 37
● (canon) background:Owen Grady @ Jurassic Park Wikia At some unspecified point after the events that led to the shutdown of the park, Owen and Claire went their separate ways. While Claire went on to create the Dinosaur Protection Group, Owen became something of a recluse, and moved to the mountains where he was building a cabin all by himself.
● abilities: Owen's a proficient marksman, capable of handling a multitude of different firearms, as well as other useful weapons. He's skilled in hand-to-hand combat, possesses great stamina, and it's reasonable to assume he's had extensive survival training while in the Navy, and has been in a number of situations where such skills were necessary. He's also skilled at handling animals. He can interpret their behavior, understand their motivations, and act in accordance, as well as train them to act and react a certain way. While not necessarily getting them to obey blindly, he is capable of controlling even more dangerous creatures, though of course only with with a lot of dedication, investment and time spent among those creatures. Considering he's also building a cabin from scratch, it's safe to assume he's skilled and knowledgeable in construction and carpentry.
● strengths: Owen is an incredibly adaptable individual. Whatever environment he finds himself in, he's quick to assess his surroundings, and change his stance and habits accordingly. He's attentive to detail and thorough in reading even small clues and traces, both in specific scenarios but also in people's presence and body language. Used to making do with little, Owen's resourceful, capable of using what he can find in his surroundings when he lacks the ideal materials to complete a certain task.
Aware of his own skills and abilities, Owen's confident and sure of himself, even when the odds are against him. He can come up with unusual plans for unusual issues on the spot, and even when the chances of success are slim, he doesn't hesitate, nor does he shy away from danger. Which isn't to say he doesn't get scared, but he has a pretty good handle on his own emotions during those situations, so he can follow through his tasks without being hindered.
Owen also has a pretty strong moral compass, even if he might not always show it, or see it in himself. He will always choose to do whatever is right and saves most lives, human or otherwise. He's empathetic, particularly with animals and creatures that people aren't ordinarily used to handling on a daily basis, and he can cultivate that sentiment in others, even unwittingly.
● weaknesses: While not entirely unsociable, he does enjoy solitude, and he can get pretty distant and downright reclusive, going so far as avoiding social interaction altogether at times. He's capable of creating bonds with others but he still often chooses to remain pretty unattached.
More than just honest, Owen's downright blunt when speaking his mind, and often comes across as rough and uncouth. He can be pretty cocky and brazen too, which doesn't sit well with most people, and while he has a very present sense of humor, it tends to be crass and shameless.
Even though he can keep a good hold of most of his emotions, particuarly anything related to panic or fear, he doesn't do as well at keeping a handle on anger, rage or frustration. He can be impulsive in those situations, and has a hot-headed attitude that can often make him burst and lose control, even if only for brief windows of time.
Owen's pretty wilful and stubborn, and he likes doing things his own way. He can get downright petulant at times, and he's proud in the same stubborn sort of way. He's not always easy to deal with, and isn't always the most accessible of people, particularly when one spends a lot of time together with him.
