<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Grie was born in the city of Mistral. Her father, Herb, worked as a mechanic in his own private shop. Her mother, Wren, would help him, as would Grie and her siblings, Silas, Leila, and Seth, once they were old enough to manage the tools. Around that same time, the kids learned aura control from their mother, whose family had maintained it as a practice for not getting their butts kicked. Her mother’s family had used to run with a gang in the town. Wren had married out of that life and was now part of a “respectable” business, but the aura techniques were useful for basic survival, so she made sure her kids learned like she had learned. Even though they ran a small shop, there wasn’t a lot of money to go around. The family of six was usually well-taken care of, though, thanks to Herb’s sensible spending and tight-fisted pockets. The kids got out of schooling as soon as they could so that they could help with the shop. Everyone helped out, although Grie and Silas worked mostly on the machines while Leila and Seth focused on keeping the small shed/warehouse neatly stocked and the checkbooks in order.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Grie was naturally curious, and despite needing to have been taken out of school early to help with the company, she still wanted to learn, especially about how cars and machines worked. During her days off (two days every month), she would go to the library and research whatever caught her fancy. It was during one of these excursions that she met Reginald, a nice young man who was studying to attend Haven. The two became quick friends, and it wasn’t until nearly five years later that Grie discovered, much by accident, that her new best friend happened to be the only son of the business entrepreneur and old-money member Victor Argyris Palladium. Grie was surprised, but this didn’t have much of an impact on their relationship. Instead, they focused on discussing ideas for bettering existing parts of society and science, specifically personal vehicles, since that was what Grie was most familiar with. After she recommended a few ideas for a vast improvement on the modern system, Reginald (or Reggy, as Grie called him) suggested that she open up a new shop.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Grie brought this idea home to her family, who responded in various ways. Laila was mostly ambivalent, while Silas and Wren were encouraging and Seth was outright antagonistic. Grie ignored Seth for the most part and after dinner that night asked Silas to join her in her attempt to save up the money to start the business. Silas agreed. Four years and nearly 15,000 lien saved later, Laila agreed to join. After a heated confrontation between Silas and Seth, the youngest of the four siblings decided to join.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">A year later, Herb Sycamore died of a heart attack. It was quite sudden, and shocked everyone. Grie was 22 at the time, with Silas at 25 and the twins both at barely a month over 20. The next day, Seth disappeared, and three days after that, Silas found a note in his and Seth’s room that hinted that Seth had owed quite a bit of money to a man named August Dargent. Silas and Grie went off to find him, in face of the fact that Laila was the only one holding their mother together. After the first few days, they couldn’t find anything, so they went to their one uncle who was still on speaking terms with their mother, a man named Verdant Marsh. After they proved through their aura ability and by quoting a few of the Marsh family catchphrases that Wren still used that they were actually related to Wren, he agreed to help them and pointed them in the right direction. Grie and Silas hunted Seth down through gambling house after gambling house, but could never quite catch him, until nearly two weeks after he had vanished when they found him quite by luck under a bridge, dead drunk, aura completely depleted, and massively beaten up. They took him home as fast as they could. Their mother knew some first aid, and would do her best to help him.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Reginald called that night. He was looking for a place to stay. Despite coming from one of the oldest and most influential families in Mistral, Victor Palladium had managed to find himself completely bankrupt. His business plans had fallen through, thanks to a false sense of stability created by an incredibly intricate network of trade deals. However, the man also happened to have an unfortunate habit of making said business deals while dead drunk. He had put the Palladium manor up as collateral for one of his crazy business deals. Reginald came and stayed with the Sycamores between his missions as a hunter after that. It was during one of these breaks, ones that Grie and Reggy looked forward to most, that he brought her on a long walk in one of the gardens and asked her to go out with him. She agreed and headed home. Both Silas and Wren were overjoyed at the news, but Seth was ambivalent. Laila, on the other hand, stormed off to her room and didn’t talk to Grie for the next week. Silas later let Grie know that Laila had been harboring a crush on Reginald for nearly four years.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">A year or so after this, the Sycamore siblings hit their goal and began starting the company. With Reggy’s help and their careful planning and execution, it was up and running within a month. Around this time, Grie and Reggy decided to get married, as the marriage of her as one of the founders of the company and him being a socialite from the upper class would be a huge publicity booster. Within a year, the company was one of the biggest hits the city had ever seen. It was more successful than they could have dreamed. However, there were some rocky spots. One of these came about five months in, when a scandal arose that some of the office managers had been siphoning off workers’ salaries in order to raise their own. This got to ridiculous proportions and everyone was in a huff. Seth, who was in charge of that section, vehemently denied any knowledge or connection to it. Silas didn’t buy it. He called Grie one night to tell her that he was going to go confront Seth about it. The next morning, Silas turned up dead in one of the rivers, a series of knife wounds in his chest. Seth and Laila disappeared the next day with a note left on the table that only read, “Nowhere is as safe as you’d think it was. Gone to find a better world. -Laila and Seth Sycamore.”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Platinum was born six months after that, and both Grie and Reggy decided they needed a larger living space. The small house where they currently lived was no place for them to welcome potential business guests or to hold offices. In face of this, Reggy and Grie decided to make a bold move that would establish the new generation of Palladiums as people of power and persons of influence. They bought back the Palladium manor, and Grie began grooming Platinum to be the heir.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Trouble started three years later when Pewter was born. She didn’t have the striking black hair of the Sycamores which had given most of Grie’s siblings their names, nor did she have the white-blond hair that ran in the Palladium family line and that her older brother Platinum had inherited. Rumors started that Reginald was not the real father to Pewter, and after those rose to a ridiculous degree, Grie called for a DNA test to prove that Pewter was in fact her and Reginald’s child. The rumors were, of course, proven false, but ever after that, Grie kept a close eye on her daughter.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">While Platinum was the perfect son and perfect heir, Pewter had a few more problems that Grie did her best to help her daughter with. Despite what she was like on the field, since Grie pushed her towards both academic, philosophic, and athletic achievement, Pewter couldn’t stand crowds and would get very nervous very, very quickly. Grie wasn’t sure what to do with her daughter, but still did her best to give the girl as many opportunities to find herself as she needed. Grie was relieved when Pewter declared she wanted to be the next Palladium Huntress. She still does her best to push Pewter and Platinum towards excellence, even, and especially, in the face of their difficulties.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Pewter went on to attend Haven Academy, much to the joy of her family, being presented with her father’s shield as she left. Grie continued to train up Platinum for heirship, letting him help with some aspects of the business. She made sure to keep in touch with Pewter (even to Pewter’s annoyance at times) and was relieved to find that she was regularly hanging out with her teammates in team LAPS. It was small, but a start. When the Vytal festival came around, Grie was over the moon to find out that Pew was going there purely for the fun with her teammates and hoped this would finally break her out of her shell. Unfortunately, the Fall of Beacon happened. Pewter stopped answering her mother’s calls, except for dire emergencies, and Grie knew that if she was doing that to her, she was doing it to everyone else too. Grie was at her wit’s end for what to do until she struck upon an idea. When Haven wasn’t in session due to the circumstances, Grie “cordially” invited team LAPS to spend the “holiday” at the family manor. Once the team was there, Grie hoped that the combination of being home with family and having friends around would once again allow Pewter to open up to the world.

She prefers to do things with her hands rather than mess with vague theoretical constructs and is very practically minded. She’s fiercely loyal to those she loves. If she sets out to do something, she’s determined to see it through. She has an unfortunate tendency to hold her emotions in and bury them in work.

Rolls her eyes at some of his “noblemen” ways, but adores his loyalty and enthusiasm. Hopes that he’ll be more connected with his children eventually, though fears the that it’s already too late now to start.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Seth Kohl Sycamore (Kohl: A dark black pigment worn by old egyptian nobility around the eyes): Her younges brother, Leila ’s twin. Grie frowns heavily upon his bad gambling habit and the way he slightly disdains Reginald for being a noble. Had never been particularly close, but doesn’t know what to think now that he’s left after Silas was killed with a knife similar in size and shape to one that was part of Seth’s swiss army extendable knife.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Silas Sully Sycamore  (Silas: Of the forest, Sully: Dark-eyed):   Her older brother and closest sibling. He was always there to help and support her. Now, she still misses him and wishes he were still here.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Leila Sycamore (Leila: night in arabic):  Her younger sister, Seth’s twin. A boy-and-beauty obsessed girl who, much to Grie’s chagrin, actually has a very good head on her shoulders. They had been drifting apart for some time (exacerbated by Reggie falling in love with Grie instead of Leila), but Leila’s sudden leaving severed whatever was between them.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Wren Sycamore (Lark: Small brown bird):  Her mother, who taught Grie how to sing, fight, and use her aura. Was a warm presence in Grie’s life and a quiet source of comfort and strength, though somewhat muted after her husband’s death.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#efefef;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Herb Sycamore (Herb: French for grass):  Her father, taught her everything he knew about machines and repairing them. Would encourage her in her activities, but remind her of the obstacles she needed to overcome to accomplish what she wanted. Grie continually strives to be someone he would be proud of, though she has never truly dealt with the grief of his passing.

A clever man who Grie enjoys being around and listening to.

Grie is sure he will be a great business person, but does her best to balance the higher standards she has for him with the acknowledgement that he is young, human, and needs to choose his own path. Therefore, she encourages him to find his own likes and makes sure he knows that if he ends up deciding he doesn’t want to lead the company, she’ll choose someone else to hand the company to and he won’t have to. The biggest change Gries tries to push on him is to stop pushing Pew away and treat her as his sister.

Encourages her in her training and strives to be there for when Pew needs it, yet can’t help bridge the distance that has grown between them. Grie worries about Pew’s isolation, especially after the fall of Beacon, and blames herself at least partially for letting the gap grow between them.

A full examination requires a minute at most to finish, five seconds if she’s in continuous contact with the object. If the object goes out of her max range, she loses contact with it. If the object is actively being protected by someone else’s aura, it will resist her aura’s attempted examination and either slow down or completely stop the examination from happening.

She’s also spent a lot of time seeking to fix problems and the only way to fix a problem is to identify what is broken.

Her goal is to get in close enough to touch her targeted mechanical device, if present, and stay close enough so that the opponent cannot efficiently use most types of self-defense or weapons, unless they are incredibly short-ranged, such as a knife or bronze knuckles. Usually, even these are difficult to use, as she will fight from within bare inches of her opponent, and is fast and strong enough to not allow the enemy to freedom of movement necessary to spring away or make jabs or swinging motions. It is also difficult to fire a gun from this close. In this range, she can also use her wrench well as a blunt-force weapon and utilize her strength, built up in the mechanic’s shop. From this range, she will reach out and touch the weapon or targeted mechanical device as often and for as long as she can while maintaining her defense, then destroy the device in the most precise and destructive way she can. When she can, she will also make it so the weapon or mechanical device backfires on the user.
