⟨ AVAN JOGIA. MALE. HE/HIM. ⟩ though the mist might prevent some from seeing it, ANTON GRANT is actually a descendent of H E R M E S. it’s still a question of whether or not the TWENTY-FOUR year old ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING MAJOR from SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA has taken after their godly parent completely, but the demigod is still known to be quite WITTY & UNRELIABLE.

background ◈
anton was born on 9 february 1996 in san francisco, california.
his mother is gujarati indian and his step father is of english, german, and welsh descent.
he has a younger sister named bee, short for beatrice.
although he believes he encountered hermes by chance in the streets of san francisco, his godly parent has actually been keeping tabs on him for a while, more out of curiosity than affection. in fact, hermes was actually the one who provided him the opportunity to escape his cell when he found himself caught for petty thievery after attempting to teach a rude and racist shopkeeper a lesson and at the same time gift his sister her favorite toy. his parents later ironed things out.
anton is unfortunately the current RA of hermes house.
personality ◈
anton used to have a thirst for knowledge, but after everything he’s been through, he’s switched sides and now cultivates a thirst for trying new things and pushing the envelope in life. that last part often to a detriment to himself and others around him. unintentionally. most of the time.
anton is still pretty creative, though mostly in an applied skills sort of way, much more concrete and skill-based than theoretical.
as a former thief, he is a hands-on operator, and can often be much better pushing out impromptu and successful plan bs.
he does possess a wide range of knowledge, although he never seems to be any confident about it, which he applies to find solutions.
he thinks through the best course of action and cleverly improvises when necessary. he may rehearse a plan, but when things go bad, as they often do, he pulls a rabbit out of his hat, conjuring some unexpected solution.
anton is something of a people person, and although he often tries to hide it or at least play it cool, he does have a need to connect with others, a need to be with others. he’s definitely a joiner, even if he comes off as reluctant at times. he sometimes imagines himself as being part of a group, with someone else, although he handles being alone well.
anton is not allergic to defying the rules, playing the nonconformist, when he wants something to work out.
his behavior may often be more about acting in the moment than considering the longer-range implications, even to the point of causing his life to go off the rails. similar impulsive, perhaps ill-considered, actions have followed him throughout his life. that’s probably just a hermes thing, but don’t quote any of this to that guy.
anton is definitely a screwup, and he knows it, won’t even try to deny it. he can be quite a lovable screwup, though he often fails to think of broader consequences.
there’s a feeling around him that things are always just a little unstable: his education, his relationships, his willingness to bend the rules, and so on.
self-doubt and the constant need to make things right or compensate for a perceived deficit appear to be hallmarks of anton’s character, however.
there is a persistent sense that he always needs to make things better, and this motivates much of what he does. even his crimes have been about fixing something in his life.
anton tries to apply rationality to most of what he does, and he often succeeds, though he is more often motivated by his love or at the very least concern for others, which makes him not as heartless or soulless people as others sometimes stereotype his past mistakes.
powers ◈
anton’s strongest abilities are enhanced thievery and clauditiskinesis. growing up poor but daring and rebellious, he pretty much needed and nurtured these abilities, making a pseudo-career as a thief to get by life. that was, until hermes found and claimed him, sending him straight to eonia university in hopes of, unexpectedly, redeeming him.
anton shows potential for enhanced speed, persuasive skills, and natural athletics, though all three are borderline debatable, considering he’s developed them over time, growing up, and his lifestyle pretty much requires him to be all three. it is currently unknown whether these abilities are inherent because of his divine lineage or they’re just from his upbringing. it’s probably a little bit of both.
anton has not exhibited any potential for chrimatakinesis and is in fact very terrible when it comes to money, specifically saving money.
headcanons ◈
anton speaks some gujarati and french.
anton can also be quite overconfident and arrogant at times, showing off that he’s not afraid of anything, mostly to stroke his own ego than anyone else’s.
anton is terrible when it comes to remembering dates.
anton’s favorite food is tofu with almonds, and he doesn’t really care for sandwiches. his second favorite food? honey and banana sandwiches. don’t ask.
anton loves bubble baths. pass it on.
