» Canon Point: Post Dual Strike
» Gender: Male
» Age: He appears in his late twenties, and has a mental age of around the same. No canon age is specified.
» Orientation: It should be considered that there is little character interaction beside armies or Commanding Officers talking to one another.
There is one conversation between Grit and Nell (a female CO), about feelings that Max, (a male CO), has for Nell. Grit is mentioned to have feelings feelings, and that's why he left Orange Star, according to Nell. The conversation is not stated as to who he has feelings for. Therefore, he is currently unknown.
In a situation such as Amat, where sex makes the difference between life and death, he would choose to live. His first choice of a sex partner would be someone he knew personally, and if that fell back, he would then choose a willing person; but he would never force anyone into it.
» Personality: Grit is very often called lazy or laid back, and he shows that he's, at the very least, fairly lazy. He enjoys taking naps very often, almost always commenting that he could use a nap, and would usually rather let someone else take the lead over him. This almost always upsets his superior, but he seems to only do it in front of his superior, making it seem almost like an act. Being laid back, however, he does this often. He's almost always very casual about everything, has a very laid back speech, and prefers to stay calm and relaxed about any situation. He even tells the younger CO, Colin, to take it nice and easy. While he does show some anger, he never gets frazzled or overly upset. He prefers to over view the entire situation, and figure out the best path.
While he often acts sort of hick-ish (using words like 'Possum spit' and a lot of different country-esque slang), he's pretty smart. In the first game, he helps Sonja, another CO, with intel, and despite how well she is shown at gathering intel on her own, she wishes that she could be as useful as Grit. When other Blue Moon COs are fighting in the second game, if he's not on the field as well, he gathers intel with another CO, or on his own. He's a lot smarter than he appears. He learns about people easily, and can tell how their feeling even if they don't show it (for instance, he can tell that Olaf is crying for his country when they clear Black Hole out of Blue Moon).
He's can be sarcastic at times, giving his superior, Olaf, the nickname 'O Bearded One' as a joke, and generally does this towards Olaf, however he always tries to pretend he didn't say a thing. Grit does like to joke around, but he knows when he has to be serious too. If someone he's friends with, or cares about, is in trouble, he'll stop messing around, and immediately tell people where to go or what to do. He's secretive about things too, not always speaking much of himself or telling people things about himself. A big sign of this is while talking to Nell about why he left Orange Star, and interrupts her, telling her he has his own reasons, and isn't very willing to talk about why he left. But he has the ability to make close friends, especially the one seen in another commanding officer, Max. He's fairly modest, saying that he doesn't too often hear about his praises being sung, and tells Colin to stop it.
He will act on what he sees as right and wrong. While being offered to join Black Hole, Grit comments that he does not believe land belongs to anyone, but he won't join Black Hole due to the mass destruction that had been caused. He generally prefers to be on the good side of things, rather than the bad. In the first game, he often comments on Olaf attacking Orange Star and digging into their territory.

[Video]
[The camera turned on to a very neutral man who was looking into the camera. A hand raised up, and he quickly waved towards the camera. He let out a chuckle.]
Howdy.
[Then he took a moment, looking around the room.]
Heh, it's… pretty nice here. Ya guys got a good way of livin'.
Listen, dun wanna jus' hang around here. Kind of thing ain't my place to live. Dun like this kind of expensive stuff.
Was wonderin' if someone could help me find a... more of a country settin', if it were possible.

[The camera turns off.]

A dream. That's what that was.
A unique dream to say the least, nothing like he had ever had before. To reminisce on this dream? It seemed foolish. A dream like that could mean anything. His body felt like it had been used multiple times in any which way. A hand rested on his forehead... his body was covered in sweat, and yet he never figured out the reason for such. His brain couldn't hack it. Instead, he decided to simply lay there... taking deep breaths. He had never had an experience like that before. A large mix of emotions were going through his head.
And at the end of the road, he decided to take a small look down, as he felt something brush against his skin. That's when the realization came in... naked. He hadn't seen much of his nude body outside of water... it was a little bit weird. Something he wasn't expecting to see waking up from one of his naps. His body was a mix of hot and cold, and he couldn't say how much he enjoyed it.
That dream... Grit's body slowly started to sit up in the bed. Rubbing his face lightly... he felt no rush to move quickly. The moment was slow, he was just trying to sit up in his bed. Legs were sticking together... reaching a hand down there, he felt his legs wet, and a little bit sticky... he rubbed with his hand, then brought it back up to his nose. That was something… That didn't happen often.
He was starting to question what this place was.
Indeed, looking around, this wasn't anything he was used to. This was the settings of a palace. Something beautiful he had never experianced once before. His legs began to cross just a little bit, and he looked around the room. The place seemed... no, it was silent. Maybe a few footsteps at the time, but otherwise, he was hearing silence. And... he was really groggy. Rubbing his eyes, he looked towards a mirror that was on the other end of the room. And noticed something around his neck. A very dark blue something. A little left of center rested a white crescent moon. A collar. His hand reached towards it and touched it, tugging on it lightly. No give...
"Well damn..." He whispered. Slowly grabbing the edge of the bed, he turned around, long legs hitting the ground almost right away. Standing up, he noticed a small pile of his clothes that was sitting on the bed. Including his trademark hat. Frick, he loved that hat! Thank god it was here... wherever he was. He pulled the hat and trench coat off, and pulled out a pair of boxers. Perfect. Slowly, he slipped them on. At least he was clothed now. He sighed a big sigh of relief; he didn't particularly enjoy being naked.
Now that he was up, he decided to take a proper look at his surroundings. Everything looked so nice, "Geeze..." He rubbed the back of his head. "'m only a country boy... why'd they go and do this ta me?" Sighing once again, he picked up the clothes off the bed.
That dream was becoming clearer.
He could remember... being with someone. His arms wrapped around their neck as they...
But he couldn't remember the rest.
Pausing for a moment... did it really and truly matter? He had to figure out where he was, what he was doing... mainly what was going on here.
Fingers on his chin, rubbing his beard... well, he was in some place really nice. It was all he could pinpoint... and he didn't know much about the bed... it was kind of comfy, he had to say. But that was all he could say. And he was still questioning in his mind; why here? Why in this fabulous palace? Just some place with a bed or a couch would've done fine.
Extravagance didn't look really good on him. He hated that sort of thing.
Looking around the room, he saw something similar to a small computer. Tiny, but very... high tech. He chuckled, and moved towards it. Looking over it, he pressed a button on it... it seemed to blink. He looked over it... a light next to the camera was on, and he could see himself. He gave off a quick wave to anyone looking at it, and pressed the button again... huh. Weird thing. He picked it up and chuckled a little.
"Well... dun know what's goin' on. Find out soon 'nough, I guess."

» Orientation: Grit's sexuality is something not focused on in the games, except for one conversation.
This conversation is where Grit and Nell first, and last, talk on screen, along with Max. (Note: Max is another male CO who has feelings for Nell)
Grit : Yeah, I'm doin' all right. How about you? You and Max getting along
all right?
Nell : So that's the reason you left Orange Star. You sensed Max's feelings,
and because he's your friend, you...
Grit : Whoa! Hold on, now. Let me set you straight. I did what I did 'cause
that's who I am, darlin'. I go where I want to go, and stay where I
want to stay. That's it.
Nell : Oh, I...
Grit : See you later, Nell. Take care.
Nell : Grit... Goodbye.
Grit left Orange Star for a reason, and it is apparent that it was due to having romantic feelings for another person. It is not specific who this someone is; it could be Max or Nell. However this game does not divulge in the situation any further, leading only speculation. But this conversation does show he has feeling for someone, so he is not asexual, but unknown.
