GBF SHRINE
By Your Dearest Most Wonderful Calico

The one and only leader of the Eternals, although that's kind of up to debate. Just jesting! Seofon, also known as Siete in Japan (both names mean the same thing, seven) is the sword loving freak big brother extraordinaire of all time. Some background on the group he's a part of (and the group that he cofounded with his fellow Eternal, Anre) is that all of them wield a specific weapon, and they're the best wielder of that weapon in the skies. It's a pretty big deal, or at least that's what Seofon would tell you... Truth is, you've either heard of the Eternals and you're admiring their strength (with maybe a bit of fear too) or you think they're a boy band. Yeah.

Seofon is a mysterious guy, he has this loving nature and is extremely happy-go-lucky, but there's this feeling of... something being wrong, something shady. Of course, he has good intentions, but he just feels as if he has to handle everything all alone. Even with a group of nine other people, he has to keep things secret. It's for their own good, as he would say... The only other Eternal that knows about his sometimes often disastrous plans is Anre, and even then it's debatable how much Anre knows. But Seofon promises with his whole heart that he's there for the sake of helping the skies. You have to trust him!

Seofon is plagued by visions. It's wonderful. He sees something called the Sea of Stars, which... even after years of Granblue existing, we're not entirely sure what it is... all we, the players, know is that it's tied to the boundary and basically ties the world together... or worlds, one should say... which brings us to the next layer of Seofon.

Another Seofon (Siete), shortened to Anasie but also known Sieten't depending who you ask (he doesn't have a name, in fact he says he forgot his name!) is a self proclaimed god and he's looking to rebuild the entire world, yup, you read that right! Good old Seofon has an alternate self that is hellbent on destroying everything that Seofon strives to protect. It's pretty crazy. To make matters worse, he's not even supposed to exist. He's from a ruined timeline, a timeline that was just a simulation... but... he was so powerful that he became real... and now? Well, now he sometimes possesses Seofon and gazes at the world from his eyes. Don't even worry about it.

Seofon! I love to hate this guy and hate to love him! He sucks! In a failboss way, it's difficult to explain. But I guess I have to explain it... that's the point of this page, no? Hopefully the details above made some sense, but I don't blame you if you're completely lost. In the end, I love Siete, he's an amazing character and I love that he has something extremely sinister going on but he makes the most of it and he's genuinely a good guy. He's just some guy, some guy who has visions of parallel worlds and is haunted by another version of himself, you know, normal stuff.
Did you know? His previous jobs before becoming the best sword wielder in the skies were a chef (he bakes Captain a cake! Yum!) and a tailor (he was the one who made the Eternals' uniforms, and he also made a costume for Seox/Six!), truly the big brother of all time. Invite him into your crew today! Or don't. Maybe you shouldn't.

Lucilius, lovingly named Faa-san (Or just Faa...) by fans and in-game characters alike, is a finicky individual. They're an Astral researcher, and the cream of the crop at that. Lucilius was responsible for creating some of the first Primal Beasts, and while their intentions started out with wanting to research the evolution of the Sky Realm, it later took a darker turn and led them to wanting to overthrow the Omnipotent, otherwise known as Bahamut.

Regardless of their intentions in the past and present, they have always been withdrawn and easy to anger, almost like a cat. Fluffed up as they may be, if you give them enough affection they are bound to melt... maybe with a bite or two... perhaps a scratch as well (all the while purring).

Lucilius was always considered an outsider by the High Astral Council, and they were very much shunned by their peers. In a way, the only people who gave Lucilius the time of day (without ulterior motive) were their own creations, the archangels. As messed up as it was, perhaps for once, Lucilius was experiencing happiness... one happy (albeit hecked up) family... if one was lucky, they might've even experienced one of Lucilius's snarky jokes...

Faa, oh Faa. Where do I even begin with them. They're a very dear character to me, and honestly I'm glad I'm listing them first on this page. Funny story, when I first went through WMTSB, the event that they're from, I initially hated their guts. I wanted them gone. I really didn't like them. But eventually, over the summer... I found myself becoming fond of them. To the point where they were insanely comforting to me and I really just felt strongly about them. I'd classify my feelings for them as familial, they're like the worst best father (gender neutral) ever. Hopefully you know how it is.
Small mention to the fact that they're divorced to Beelzebub, their lovely wife... I love when fictional characters are divorced, I think it's awesome. Faa and Bubs have a lot of baggage, both with each other and their own backstories. I love it, they're really good characters who have a lot of foiling going on and their fates are forever connected, even if it means bringing down the world. #LoveWins

Zwei, an existence born of the spare parts of Orchid, the Golem who renewed Erste's strength... it's natural that she doesn't accept her existence one bit. Instead of being her own person, she lives in Orchid's shadow and insists that she is Orchid... of course... this takes a turn for the best, actually, and she ends up accepting herself a little more...
Her father figure, Furias (the second incarnation of him, to be exact) insisted that she was her own person, and it was his last wish that she accepted the name Zwei. She did, of course, with the help of Loki... but that's not all, Orchis, who was the basis for Orchid's own existence, shared her wisdom and kindness with Zwei, leading to the Golem girl having a change of heart about well... everything. The world, herself... there was much more to learn and love, but even she didn't know that yet.

Zwei joined Loki's crew, where she remained quiet at first, but eventually she found the strength to be rowdy (especially towards Loki).

A lone wolf... that's the vibes she wants to give off, of course... what we want and what we get are two separate things. Fenrir may be standoffish and appear selfish at a first glance, but the truth is that she is extremely loyal - one of the most loyal Primal Beasts in fact...
You see, about 500 years ago, as a result of the war between Skydwellers and Astrals, many Primal Beasts were deemed failures and left to rot. But one Astral hated this. One lone Astral discovered this lone wolf... and well... an unbreakable bond was formed.
But Fenrir and her good pal Loki did not realise this at the time. Both struggled with their own issues, and those issues often bled into each other, leading the pair to bicker near endlessly. There was seemingly no respect between the two, just another evil Astral and his weapon on the surface. None of that was true, of course. Fenrir was completely indebted to Loki for rescuing her, and while he would go on to claim it was on a whim, he ended up deeply caring for the wolfish primal.

Fenrir still gets angry at Loki nowadays, and their bond is not perfect by any means, but she has asked Loki the important questions, which has led to change in the Astral. Which isn't supposed to happen, mind you, since Astrals are supposed to be stagnant in their mannerisms. Loki is an eccentric, and Fenrir knows this. It annoys the crap out of her at times but she loves him nonetheless. She would do anything for him, but she sucks at expressing that. Her own struggles, especially the ones having to do with her past weigh heavily on her. Honestly, it isn't a stretch to say that she doesn't know what to do with herself. She knows she wants to form a genuine bond with Loki, but she can't bring herself to accept that. And even worse, Loki's own issues make it seem as if they don't have a bond. Unbeknownst to the pair they already have a strong bond, one that really can't be swayed ever.
For instance, the inner teachings, otherwise known as Granblue's "Congrats! You bonded with a Primal and can now use their powers!" can be utilised by the pair. And not only that, but they used it to its full potential (which is partially because Loki is an Astral, but I digress)... soon, hopefully they'll both open their eyes...

So... Fenrir. I love her. She is very special. Wolfgirl, yay. I really love that she embodies loyalty as a concept. Each primal beast used to have an aspect that they kind of embodied, and I like to think hers was (or is?) loyalty. She's also really loyal to her friend Jade, another Primal Beast, and being a dog and all it just clicks to me.
I love that she's a total badass and doesn't take nonsense from anyone, Loki included. He may be her superior but she will get his ass if need be. Regardless, she is a wonderful character and I love the ouppy. I would like to give her Scooby Snacks. I would also like to hold her paws and squish her beans. Have you seen her paws? Absolutely incredible, 10/10 she is so talented! Go girl! Kill!

When you think of someone with the power to either keep the skies alive or set them aflame, you likely do not think of a humble countryside farm boy. Gran, however, fits the bill perfectly.
Silly and awkwardly charming, Gran was born on a small island named Zinkenstill (or Hermit Island, as it is otherwise known). They were raised by their dear friend Vyrn. How the tiny dragon managed to care for a newborn Gran is a mystery, but nonetheless, he did his utmost best. Due to Gran's parents being absent during his upbringing, he sought help from his fellow villagers, and in return Gran helped them with whatever they needed. Things were peaceful, and it was the only life Gran knew. When Gran visited neighbouring islands, he always found their way of life enamoring and was stricken with awe over how city folk lived their lives. He wished one day he could travel freely to the end of the skies, and perhaps even meet his father once again.

What fate had in store for Gran was cruel... Lyria, also known as the girl in blue, had escaped the clutches of the empire. Gran found her, and in a desperate struggle to protect her, the boy lost his life. Lyria, however, would not stand for that, and she linked her life with Gran's. Their fate now sealed, Gran was deemed the singularity and set off for the end of the skies. He never dreamt that he would gain such an opportunity in such a way, but it's something he's grown to cherish. He has encountered so much on his journey, which doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon... Even after he gives his dad a good punch in the face for abandoning him, he doubts their journey will truly be "over".

Whether it's fallen angels, primals, dragons, or even Astrals, Gran has seen it all (and even bumped heads with quite a few of these). They have hope for the skies and have proved time and time again that they are a beacon of hope for the sky realm. Even so, many beings show concern over his brilliance... is this concern misplaced? Or is it not? Only time will tell.

I always fall for the main character. Always. Well, not always, actually. But Gran is the protagonist of all time for me. I love them dearly. They are my Captain, and I cannot see them as a self-insert, as sad as I am to say... To me they are an amazingly fleshed out character and that's kind of saying a lot because they're mute in game and maybe I'm delusional but I don't care. He is so important to me, don't be fooled that he's listed last here. You must be familiar with the saying... Save the best for last! But oh, how it tears at my heartstrings to say that, actually... Everyone here is so important to me and I mean that. But Gran... Gran if you're out there you are so lovely and wonderful and thank you for everything you've done. I might be cringe but I am free. You have to have fun on the internet, this is my space and I'm free to do what I want. =w=b And that means I get to be sappy about the captain themself...
