Background Information: 
  • Gran’s an orphan living in the outskirts of the Phantagrande Skydom, and his only wish is going to the rumored Island of the Astrals, Estalucia, to go see his father after receiving a letter from him asking him to do so.
  • He meets Lyria, a girl who’s running away from the Erste Empire after seeing one of their airships explode in the sky, and decides to lead her to safety. It blows up in his face as he dies protecting her, but she links her life to his, resurrecting him.
  • They bring about the fall of the Erste Empire after some time, allowing the Phantagrande Skydom breathe the air of freedom once more.
  • He’s roped into the fight between Idelva and Rhem, two kingdoms fighting for power in the Nahelgrande Skydom after he crosses over the Grim Basin.
  • He ends up uncovering the Oarylegrande Skydom’s plot to unify the entire Sky Realm under one banner (by destroying Nahelgrande from the inside) and ends up putting a stop to the destruction of Nahelgrande.
  • They fall into an area that borders the deepest parts of the sky, called the Edgelands, and try to find the best way back up into the mainland. There, the entire crew finds out about Lyria and Vyrn’s history, and it shakes them.
  • Gran and crew eventually make it back to the mainland, but are then told by Gran’s father’s friend that Gran has become a Singularity, and his choices will affect the entire world as they know it. Despite everything that he could bring, he solidifies his choice in continuing to travel with his crew, knowing it may bring death and destruction.
  • They eventually make it into Oarylegrande, and try to talk the True King out of his plans to unite the skydoms, but fail to do so. After the meeting, they meet up with the Blue Liberation Front, a secret group that want to liberate Oarlyegrande from the True King’s tyrannical rule.
  • The crew start to infiltrate each of Oarlyegrande’s 6 supporting islands, each island dedicated to a certain aspect of society. They infiltrate the island that supports the education sector, and their memories are warped into believing that they have always been students, up until the point that they liberate the island.
  • The crew then infiltrates the second island, the island dedicated to pure entertainment, and find out more information about Lejos, the leader of the Blue Liberation Front. His true identity was a girl named Selka, whose confrontation with her mother, Amar, lead to the freedom of the island.


Personality: Gran is fairly unassuming, looking like a run of the mill child in a place such as Zinkenstill. But he’s always got a smile on his face, and his body gives off the aura of a hard worker, unwilling to give up just because a task seems to be too hard. He strives to do the best he can when asked to help, making sure the job is done right, even if it means doing things over and over again just to be sure it’s done right. It pays off in the end, as he tends to always be content receiving smiles instead of money.

Despite his eyes being filled with almost an unending curiosity, they hide a deep, almost abyssal loneliness due to being abandoned by his father when he was young. If mentioned, he’ll act as if it were never there. The topic of parents tends to bring out this side of Gran, but more often than not, he will still hope he can see his father once more. The smile was once a defense mechanism to avoid being asked such questions, but ever since he’s started his travels with Lyria and the Grandcypher, the smile’s become more and more genuine as time goes on.

He’s also honest to a fault, unable to tell others a lie because he believes it’ll hurt them more than it hurt him. But it also allows him to be unafraid of letting others know that he cares for them deeply, and will do anything for them. This all is indicative of a kind heart, and one who’s always open to being a shoulder to cry on. After all, he’s never shy to express his emotions, why should he not let others do the same?

At first, Gran has a tendency to go along with others, due to being so alone, but eventually grows out of that as he travels through the Sky Realm. Whenever he does take up a leadership position, such as being captain of the Grandcypher crew, he stands up straighter and starts to have a commandeering presence. He knows how to lead, and he will do it well. Gran’s voice even deepens just a smidge when in captain mode, knowing that he holds multiple lives in his hands and never plans to lose anyone due to a careless order or act. It’s this side of him that earns the respect of his crew members. He can be reckless if angered, but normally he will err on the side of caution.

Abilities & Inventory:

Singularity: In layman’s terms, he has the ability to change fate if he so chooses to. It’s a passive ability that Gran doesn’t need to be aware he’s using.

Fighter: He’s not the best fighter, given that a lot of his swordplay is self taught and rough around the edges, but it’s known that he adapts fairly quickly, and doesn’t give up no matter what. He’s also got some experience in polearms, but isn’t the best in that.

Lumberjack: Here’s that skillset.

Nerfs: Being the focus of Songerein sounds waaay too powerful so nerf as you please.

Inventory: Just a sword and the lumberjack outfit!

Suitability & Plans: Gran’s a dreamer, with his dream being the driving force of becoming an adventurer (skyfarer in canon), aside from trying to help Lyria live a peaceful life. Gran still feels like he could be much more, wanting to learn as much as he can in order to live the best life he possibly could. He’s always open to meeting new people and having new experiences, as he is very much aware of his own mortality (having almost fallen to his death several times). However, he is very much a closed off person when it relates to his own history, so I want him to be able to meet people who can openly challenge that, as well as explore a way to cope with the abandonment that his father put him through, as he’s very much used to the notion of ignoring his feelings until it bites him back.
