Basic Info

Granil was short and now, currently, he is tall. He is clinically insane, in a good way! And he is a master Alchemist who frequently enjoys imbibing his own creations, from elixers to potent silencing potions and beyond! He is relatively good natured and enjoys to giggle randomly, talk to himself, make naughty innuendo and eat potion laced cheesecakes. He is also a master at casting Black Magic, Summoning Magic and the ancient magic of Scholarlyisms!

History

Granil doesn't remember much before his 18th birthday, its mostly a blur. What he does remember is growing up on the streets of Ul'dah, learning how to access his own pool of aether by watching the travelling mages weave their own spells.

When Granil turned 18, he came out to his family, telling them that he was sexually attracted to males instead of females. The majority of his already large family was fine with this, embracing him and letting him know they loved him. However, his father was far from happy. So much so that he had Granil kidnapped and put into an experiment to cure what his father deemed an "Illness".

The aetherists put Granil to sleep so it would be easier to work. When they put him to sleep they began manipulating aether throughout his body, focusing on his head and chest. What they failed to take into consideration was Granils spell casting ability and the already large pool of aether the young lalafell could draw from.

Granils inner self (in his own mind he was wide awake though his body was asleep) was repelled by the abhorrent invasion taking place against his will. Granils inner self began chanting, channeling aether by focusing on the words he spoke. Over time, the words became increasingly nonsensical while the focus behind them became less focused and more desperate. Finally, inside his mind, Granil felt the surge of aether flowing into him slacken though he knew he was changed, something within him was different. Outside his mind was a scene of chaos. The aetherists felt what it is like to have large quantities of aether forcefully surge through their bodies, warping their flesh and simultaneously teleporting them away from Granil.

Upon waking, Granil noticed the scorched room, the energized teleportation burns on the floor, some blood splatter on the walls and, getting off the lab table, he grabbed a lab coat and stumbled out of the building to the lush greenery outside.

While stumbling through the forest he was discovered by a sylph who guided him to the gates of Gridania. The Gridanians, upon hearing his nonsensical story and the truth behind his words, took pity on him and cared for him.

3 years later and Granil was hesitantly given the position of guarding a group of healers at the Battle of Carteneau. When Dalamund fell and Bahamut was released, Granil mysteriously vanished without a trace.

~5 years later~

A group of adventurers stumbled across Granil in the Sagolii Desert, wandering in circles, drawing well endowed stickmen in the sand and giggling at passing Sandworms. The adventurers gathered Granil up and as they were readying to leave, got a surprise when a sandworm erupted from the sand beneath where one of the stickmen was resting their endowment!

The adventurers took Granil back to Ul'dah where they caught Granil up on what had been happening over the past 5 years, taking further pity on him by giving him a small sum of gil, some food and gear before letting him go on his way. One of the group, a Roegadyn whom Granil grew particularly fond of, quickly stopped Granil and suggested that Granil go to a group in Ul'dah who study Aether and the Aether sickness. Granil made his way through the once familiar streets of Ul'dah before being directed to the goblet, where he was redirected from a small cottage in the 4th ward to a bigger, medium sized house in the 2nd ward.

Walking through the doors of the house, Granil quickly encountered Keroa Mosuke and Arky Mosuke, the keeper of the books and the leader of Aether Corp respectively.

It has been a few months since that first meeting, several other meetings occurred, introductions given and farewells passed onto those leaving. Most recently though, a night of moping in a potion and spell fueled bath followed on by a night of heavy intoxication has somehow transformed Granil into a Miqo'te! If the gods are at work then it is a cruel jest, as Granil has had several females comment on his looks while the males are still as distant as ever.

Who knows what will happen within the foreseeable future, maybe Granil will change back to his loveable Lalafellan self or maybe he will meet the man of his dreams! We shall soon see!

Personality

As has been stated already, while others suffer from insanity, Granil thoroughly enjoys it! He is usually relatively good natured, giggling randomly and making people feel uncomfortable and/or confused. At these times of hyper cheeriness, he is prone to aetheric lightning crackling across his body, usually his hands. He has a slight case of Bi-polar, sometimes sinking into a depression at the least provocation to which he will usually bounce back given a few hours of space and patience from those around him. As with lightning, this depression could possibly have some aetheric side affects which have yet to manifest. He very rarely gets angry, usually trying to brush things off with a joke and/or a giggle. When he does get angry though, the very air around him seems to shimmer with heat!

He can lapse into periods of silence which some mistake for brooding but he is usually just staring into space, this can be clarified especially when drool escapes his mouth for a long enough period.

As has also been stated, Granil is sexually attracted to men. Usually men taller than him, which was easier when he was a lalafell, not so much now he is a Miqo'te. When he sees a male he likes, he is usually quite shy around him, making subtle hints to the male and those around him, which can be tough when his subtlety skills are so good then can go unnoticed. Males wishing to pursue Granil should pay close attention to him or miss the subtle hints that he may like them back.
