Dexter Grif is one of the main characters of the Red vs. Blue Series.
Background[]
Dexter Grif is arguably the most lazy, irresponsible, arrogant, foul-mouthed, and pessimistic soldier in Blood Gulch. He spends most of his time senselessly talking to and arguing with Simmons as well as enjoying eating and sleeping. Grif is also arguably the most incompetent soldier of both teams, a trait that he acknowledges and takes a twisted sense of pride. Physically, a lifetime of smoking and eating processed snacks (claiming to have a diet consisting of only Oreos) has left Grif in the worst shape for a soldier. Despite all of his horrible traits, Grif does have some skills at driving/piloting vehicles and is usually the one to do so in his team.
Members of Grif’s family include his mother (who’s stated to be playing the roles of a bearded lady and a fat lady in a circus) and Kaikaina Grif (his younger sister who joined the Blue Team after unknowingly choosing the wrong colored armor due to being colorblind). Before joining the military, Grif attended college in Ithaca for a year and frequently ate at Sammie Raphaello's Pizza before dropping out and enlisted in the UNSC. He was initially a Red Team soldier on Danger Canyon alongside Dick Simmons. But because the two refused to cross a narrow bridge (Grif refused due to being lazy), they were assigned to a mission with their drill sergeant Hammers. However, their refusal to enter a base led to Hammers being killed, but the two lied by stating Hammers died a heroic death. This led to the two being relocated to Blood Gulch.
Powers & Abilities[]
- Weapon Proficiency: Grif has displayed some good combat skills against the likes of Wyoming and the Tex Drones..which is something.
- Skilled Driver: Despite Grif’s being one of the weakest soldiers in Blood Gulch, there is one thing he is extremely good at (besides being lazy) and that's being a surprisingly good driver. Despite the Reds and Blues tendency to crash planes - Grif has shown quite a bit of skill with driving - being able to accurately drive complex vehicles such as the Hornet in n+1 as well as being the one to pilot Dylan's Pelican in which he dodged multiple missiles that locked on the ship (though the ship was eventually knocked out of the sky by a missile)
Equipment[]
- Battle Rifle: The Battle Rifle is the primary weapon of most characters in Red vs. Blue, with almost every character has been seen wielding it.
- Sticky Detonator: The Sticky Detonator is a type of grenade launcher that is in the form of a unique pistol. The detonator fires C-4 grenades that attach to the first thing it comes into contact with.
- SMG: The Sub Machine Gun (SMG) is a weapon used by many of the main characters of Red vs. Blue. With the small size of the weapon and the gun lowering technique, the SMG didn't look as threatening as most other weapons other than the Magnum. However, the SMG has a magazine size of 60 rounds and can shoot 15 rounds per second. It cannot jam and uses a processor to help aim up to 74% of accuracy, though overloading the processors will decrease the accuracy of 49%-45%.
- Magnum: The Magnum, (M6 series) is a weapon that is commonly used by nearly every character in Red vs. Blue and serves as a "representation” of the characters talking to one another in the series. It is actually most often the secondary weapon of many characters. The Magnum is also a standard issue weapon for Red and Blue armies.
- Teleportation Grenades: Also known as Future Cubes, Teleportation Grenades are a type of grenade that have the ability to "store" items in subspace that are caught in its blast radius. Then these items can be released when another grenade is thrown, allowing them to "transport" any item easily. In addition, these cubes can be set at different frequencies which will have different effects on those in their blast radius. Teleportation Cubes can be used to teleport anything in the blast radius to another location in a short amount of time, so long as the proper coordinates are inputted. If people use them to travel, they can suffer side effects such as nausea.
- Brute Shot: This was Meta's primary weapon before Grif took it and renamed it - “The Grif Shot”. For those who don’t know what the Brute Shot is, it is a Type-25 Grenade Launcher that can fire extremely powerful grenades that can blow up people and vehicles. It can also be used as a shield as shown during the Meta’s fight against Sarge when the Meta blocked Sarge’s Shotgun shells using it or can use the sharp end as a melee weapon.
- Suppressor: This weapon was originally used by Carolina but then Grif used it. He kept it for The Suppressor or the Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon fires bolts of hard-light (alien like-plasma energy) and can hold up to 48 rounds before reloading with a maximum size of 288 rounds.
- Methshrooms: After Donut burnt all the rations and food in the fire by accident, Grif discovered a bunch of blue mushrooms. When eating them, Grif gets a great increase in running speed while also making him talk faster.
- Cone: A normal cone he found in the Freelancer Offsite Storage Facility and used to protect himself.
