After Grand made the Divine Arbit, he haphazardly became its Excerpt, taking the name Peace Returned to the Valley, The Rivers Flowed Clear and Blue, The Mountains Resplendent, Grand. Magnificent Light Shone on the Diligent and the Penitent Alike, refusing to allow anyone to use a shortened version of this name.
Appearance
Grand wears a purple and neon green flannel vest (the most important thing). He is described as moderately built, with an "unassuming physical presence". He looks constantly disinterested. Art lists Korean-American actor Randall Park as a face inspiration for Grand.
Grand has a large tattoo of historical and fictional mechs fighting on his right arm. It includes some old Divines, a Rook, some mechs from the time between COUNTER/Weight and the Divine Fleet, one Gundam, and one Power Rangers Megazord. He gave himself the tattoo by means of a robot he designed specifically for the task, which he controlled with both hands. Its appearance is enhanced when seen in the Mesh.
Personality
He's a self-absorbed dick.
Beliefs
- I will lend my genius to these quaint colonialists, and through that will find new authenticity.
- Echo has led a life worth living. I will find a way to distill that essence into my work.
- I will find the hidden Divine, and it will validate my work by letting me build it a new body.
- Everyone deserves a second chance, no one deserves a third.
History
Grand Mag decided in the midst of a party that he was completely disenchanted with the community and things that surrounded him, and abruptly decided to accept a role with the group sent to Quire. In preparation for the expedition, he took a trip to the space camping store and loaded up on gear (his flannel vest, a brand new Neutrality multitool knife, water purification tablets, alligator repellent, survival guides, etc.) for the trip.
