History (before becoming a Miqote)
Grim was born into the Ganathain Merchant family, a child of his Wildwood father and his Midlander mother, whom his father had an affair with. When his mother was found to be pregnant by his father’s wife, she was taken into the family for the time she was pregnant, only to be told to leave and never return after she had given birth to Grim. Shortly after, the family moved to Gridania to be away from the temptation of his father’s mistress.
The little elezen grew up in Gridania with his father and ‘mother’, who was the person who gave birth to his two older brothers, each born about five years apart. He got along with them, but was often ignored and criticized by his ‘mother’, never knowing why she hated him so much. He was always put to lessons and practice to keep himself busy and away from the woman so that she might not be reminded of the mistake that his father made so many years ago, always seeing the young maid’s face in the child’s.
At the age of thirteen, he was trusted enough to explore the city by himself, becoming familiar with all the merchants and residents as practice provided by his father for when he takes over the family business in the future, which neither of his brothers had expressed interest in. It was from one of his ventures that he ran into Keaira and the five year old Charles at the Conjury guild, making friends with the small miqo’te over time as they stayed, spending his free time with him as much as he could. Eventually, he was left alone again, but kept in touch with Keaira over the years until he could write for himself.
Nine years later, now twenty-two years of age, Grim began to become bored and fed up with the constant need for his ‘mother’ to set up an engagement for him, find him a woman who was best suited for the family. He grew apart from the family and came to fall in love with a younger miqo’te, spending his time to know what it was like to actually love someone for little over a month before everything came down. When his parents discovered the man having a relationship with someone of the same sex, things blew up in his face as his world came down and revealed to him about his mother not being the woman he grew up with for twenty-two years.
Grim made the decision to run away from home after the events, wanting his lover to run away with him, but this is when he had his heartbroken, destroyed by the one person he thought he could trust. He never returned home, running to the Bradford residence in Limsa on foot, avoiding being tracked down by his family. He spent a year together with the Bradford family before making his decision to leave and disappear for five years, outside of the flow of time before returning to a new Eorzea upon his return. To this day, he lives in the Goblet with his friend, Charles, and works multiple jobs and providing for the two of them, all while trying to avoid discovery by his family.
As for his appearance as a miqo'te, he felt his family was getting close to finding him, so he took a last resort of a Fantasia concoction he had stole from a friend to throw them off his trail completely. To throw them off more, he changed his last name to Mulliner to represent his birth mother's family so they wouldn't be tempted to find a man under her name.
Appearance
Grim tends to keep himself to something comfortable, from a Glade Tunic to comfortable pants and shoes like his Arachne gear. If he needs to take part in some research or experiments for his Mammets, his attire becomes more professional. Once he needs to take part in the field, his gear will become a little heavier than his casual gear to help protect himself from projectiles and attacks from monsters or possibly his own failed experiments.
He is also never without his pet Bluebird to keep him company.
Personality
Grim might be a little reserved at times when it comes to interactions with strangers, but can be quite sociable once a conversation is struck with him. He can be quite passionate about sharing his research, so he may have issues with keeping to himself once he starts. However, all set aside, Grim is quite mature for his age and will approach everything with a polite manner.
