Who was G.R.A.S.P.?
They were an organization of 10 dedicated to forge an ancient and magical sword, Zain, in order to grant life-relating wishes. Some wanted to revive people, others landscapes, others immortality, and others death. They were reluctant enemies of the Lunar Hope crew in 2006, and are long-since disbanded. Let's take a look at these people based on what we know now.

Organization's Hierarchy
It went by basic seniority, and each member is listed from #1 through #10. The higher the number, the more authority they had.

Name: Koh Takaharu Daigo

Alias: "Grenzenlos" (German for "Limitless"), "#1: The Limitless Chronicle"

Race: human

Height: 5'10"

Age: 44


Deeds in G.R.A.S.P.: founded G.R.A.S.P., obtained the Zain Tablets, obtained all 3 swords of the Blade Trinity (Excalibur, Masamune, Kusanagi), reforged Zain, accidentally revived the primordial Geemel

Weapon: N/A

Fighting Style: Grenzenlos is part of the Daigo clan, who were nobles with photographic reflexes and practiced Blue Magic. He can replicate any technique used against him...as long as it's within his physical limits to do so. He can also use virtually any magic that was used against him. He also has the ability to retain a set amount of techniques he's copied.

Battle Theme: L'Oscurita dell'Ignot (Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM1MGnV_PZ4

Personality: Grenzenlos was calm, collected, cunning, and calculating (dem Cs!). Being a noble, he tended to prefer the finer things in life and often spoke with an unnecessarily dramatic vocabulary. Despite his high social status and battle prowess, he didn't look down on others for the reasons others would. He tended to handle his relations with people like business transactions: how each party gain from an exchange. Even so, he did seem to put a great amount of effort into making sure the people he worked with were comfortable and provided for. He served as somewhat of a father figure in G.R.A.S.P.

Data: Grenzenlos, being born as Koh Takaharu Daigo, was a survivor of the Recht Massacre of 1976. The Gaian government feared the Daigo, fearing they'd revolt like Goh Daigo did during the Great Cataclysm, particularly because the Daigo clan were gaining power rapidly. 14-year-old Koh escaped and went underground for decades. He eventually abandoned his name and went by the name "Grenzenlos", and became a merchant in the black market. He eventually heard about the myths of a sword that could resurrect the dead. Further research led him to Dr. Zehuti Faust, who showed him the path to the first half of the Zain Tablet, which had hieroglyphics that told the story of the mythical life-altering sword and how to forge it.

In 1999, he met Bushimaru Kusunoki....who swore loyalty to him, due to their clans' mutual agreement from ages past. The more time he spent with Bushimaru, the more confident he felt that he could finally escape his life from the shadows. With such a powerful ally so devoted to him, he could accomplish anything. From there he worked in the shadows, making sure the government didn't discover his activity. His underworld connections led him to "Dejitaru", an ex-marine turned hacker. Along with Bushimaru's protegee: Anahata, Grenzenlos founded an organization to Gather Remnants of the Zain blade to Acquire Supreme Prosperity.

Grenzenlos hated what the government did, but decided the priority had to be to revive his clan at any cost. Their lives meant more to him than justice, and so G.R.A.S.P. began to move. He recruited an immortal to handle impossible situations, a witch to create possible situations, an aeromancer for high altitude searching, a geomancer for subterranean searching, a merman for underwater searching, a pyromancer for volcanic searching, and allowed a government agent to "infiltrate" in to keep tabs on the government's intel.

Life after G.R.A.S.P.It's unknown whether or not he succeeded in reviving his clan. If the Daigo clan is alive, their position is unknown. But what is known is that he did forge the sword and that G.R.A.S.P. was ultimately defeated by a small group of heroes. It's also unknown where Grenzenlos is, and what happened to him.

Name: Bushimaru Kusunoki

Alias: "#2: The Elegant Blade"

Race: human

Height: 5'11"

Age: 32

Status: Deceased



Deeds in G.R.A.S.P.: Obtained the Kusanagi sword, Zain wish unknown

Weapon: Nanko (family heirloom and former katana of Masahige Kusunoki)

Fighting Style: Bushimaru was the strongest G.R.A.S.P. member in terms of skill and power. He used an extremely high speed single sword style. He would strike with high precision and accuracy. He also combined White Haki into his attacks and defense, making his attacks stronger and himself very durable respectively. He also had prominent Black Haki prowess, as he taught Anahata how to use it.

Bushimaru had also proven to be an exceptional hand-to-hand fighter, using a variation of karate using palm strikes and kicks.


Personality: Bushimaru was extremely serious and proud. He believed in duty above all else, even his own needs. He respected strength, and had little tolerance for weakness. He even went as far to call those weaker than himself as "trash", unless given a reason otherwise. Despite often being called arrogant, his level of skill and prowess in battle proved otherwise.

To his allies, he was very loyal and protective...albeit a bit dull. To his enemies, it was a different story. When fighting a weaker opponent, he tended to suppress his power to match theirs to enjoy the fight. He only did this if it was safe to do so, as he could accurately perceive his opponents' strength.


Data: Bushimaru was part of the Kusunoki clan. They're a clan of samurai who are known for their unbending loyalty to the Daigo clan, ever since their ancestral patriarch: Masahige Kusunoki of the Seven Swordsmen became known throughout the world for his sacrifice to defend Emperor Goh Daigo during the Great Cataclysm. Each generation honors the ideals and traditions of their ancestor, as well as try to improve in some way. This led to Bushimaru...who was believed to be the embodiment of those ideals.

At age 8 he surpassed his father in swordsmanship and awakened his Haki shortly after, though in his culture it's referred to as "Chi". Ever since he trained nearly obsessively to become stronger. His motivations came from his love of battle, but also a sense of obligation. He was raised to be the new head of the Kusunoki clan, and felt that it is his responsibility to uphold his clan's expectations of him...no matter what.

Other than that, much of his life is unknown. However it's now common knowledge that he did meet with Anahata Jivatman and raised him as a surrogate-older brother, though no one knows why. It's also known that he met with Grenzenlos Daigo, the last of the Daigo clan. It's mysterious how Bushimaru was killed, as he fought the celestial neko man: Calm, who at the time was weaker than Bushimaru himself, and died. Bushimaru was never careless or reckless, so there is much suspicion and speculation as to what really happened and why.

Rumors are that his deeds led his soul to Hell, where he caught the attention of a Servant of Pandemonium on his first day there.

Name: Grant I. Boolean

Alias: "Dejitaru", "#3: the Techno Sniper"

Race: human

Height: 5'7"

Age: 36

Status: deceased



Notable Deeds in G.R.A.S.P.: successfully tracked down the exact locations of the Blade Trinity, fortified Clutch Castle, hacked into the Gaian Government's mainframe, kept the vast majority of G.R.A.S.P.'s activity secret, converted his findings into data.

Noted Abilities:
- was an ace sniper. He can hit his target in extreme conditions and is considered legendary, even among the Gaian Military

- can use photon bullets to create realistic holographic environments

- was an infamous hacker, "Dejitaru" being a name known world-wide.

- extremely proficient with technology in general (talented inventor and software programmer)


Weapon: custom Dragunov sniper rifle, with holographic photon rounds, custom hacking programs

Fighting Style: Dejitaru tends to fight indirectly, and alter the environment with holograms. He snipes from a distance, and makes holographic copies to throw off his "quarry". He likes the thrill of the hunt, as long as it's on his terms. He is adept at close quarters combat, but his sniping skills considered legendary even among the Gaian Military, so they're typically overshadowed.

Battle Theme:

Personality: Dejitaru is a talented man, and likes to remind people. Being an accomplished Lieutenant Colonel, he has vast experience in battles and tactics. He's also obsessed with money, and only fights for it. He also is obsessed with the idea of immortality.


Data:

Lt. Colonel Boolean claimed that he deserted the military after his superiors repeatedly refused him a promotion to full Colonel, since they only wanted a poster-child for "such a prestigious position"...particularly because he believed himself to be far more talented than any of the Colonels at the time. In truth, the military wanted to prevent him from gaining vital information granted to Colonels and above under suspicion that he was the infamous hacker "Dejitaru". Not to mention they didn't want their most talented sniper behind a desk even more.

This was a wise decision, because this turned out to be true. Dejitaru was trading information to enemies for profit. He was to have a court-martial, but fled into hiding. He's been a criminal ever since.

He was approached by Grenzenlos to found an organization. He was particularly intrigued at the idea of becoming immortal, as well as the prospect of making insane amounts of money from Grenzenlos' personal funds. He accepted, of course.

Dejitaru spent most of his time serving as a navigator, coordinating missions for the G.R.A.S.P. members, as well as observing the Gaian Government's movements. Occassionally he did field work, like when he heard the Kusanagi holder's group had a Neko warrior that ran a bar...he marked her as quarry.

In the end, the idea of immortality made him careless and the Gaian Government sent an assassin to infiltrate the ranks. Grenzenlos decided to allow it, as the plan was far enough along where it didn't matter to him. Dejitaru met his end at the hands of Jasso "Silver" Ginzoku of the (CLASSIFIED) assassin group.
