Name: Grace Liu is her given name, usually goes by an alias in her line of work
Age: 39
Species: Human Mage (the Technocracy insists on using the term Enlightened Personnel)
Appearance:
Personality: Grace is a true believer in the Technocracy and its mission for a safe and superstition free humanity. She is well versed in the formalities of the Technocracy’s culture and shares the cold and rational outlook common within its ranks. However, she is also chronically stressed as a result of the demands of her job, and more willing to take a pragmatic approach to the enforcement, concentrating on the big picture and spirit of the rules rather following policy by rote. When dealing with the public she initially uses a friendly demeanor, projecting an almost unnatural kindness, but she finds it difficult maintain this when things get contentious. In formal technocracy settings she falls back into the default bureaucratic personality of unquestioning loyalty and obedience, but outside that she is more relaxed and isn’t afraid to mince words.
Biography: Grace had a normal middle class upbringing in a suburb of Seattle, her father worked for Boeing and her mother taught part time at the local community college. From an early age she exceeded academically, almost equally in the humanities and the hard sciences. She was very academically oriented and had few friends in high school, always finding excuses to avoid socialization and even holding a little contempt for the common masses.
Grace went to college on a considerable scholarship, and had difficulty choosing a major, but eventually finished and moved on to graduate school. In graduate school she was even more indecisive, and bounced between department accumulating credits and working as a research assistant. Little legends began to pass around the department about how some experiments seemed to work differently when she was around, and she became valuable in an environment where a steady stream of publishing papers dictated who earned tenure.
While she was on her long and winding path, the Technocracy approached her. Considerable amounts of observation had given them reason to believe that she would be useful on their side, and she gladly accepted. Joining the Technocracy would mean leaving almost of her old life behind, but Grace never had much of one so didn’t mind making the sacrifice. After considerable training she was assigned a position within the NWO, away from field work.
She proved excellent at cataloging information and analyzing the intel on reality deviants gathered by the Technocracy’s vast bureaucracy, but over time she came to worry that her talents were being wasted working as a glorified librarian. Enlightened personnel were a rare resource, and they were especially valuable on the front lines of the conflict. Sensing an opportunity for advancement, she became a field agent, and was assigned to the Southern California region. The massive amount of media meant that the Syndicate exercised heavy influence over Technocracy operations in the area, NWO presence was undermanned, overworked, and usually on the losing end of territorial fights with the Syndicate. Turnover was excessively high, and soon enough Grace found herself the NWO field operative in charge of all of Los Angeles County. The work is stressful and unrewarding, especially with recent shakeups, but she has stayed in the position longer than anyone else so far, and considers it a success if she can just stop any major trouble from being noticed by masses.
