Overview
Gucia is a playable character in Silver Palace introduced through an official character title page. Her occupation is Apprentice and her title is "From the Ivory Tower". Her official title page gives her affiliation as the Hunter's Guild.
Appearance
The official title page shows a small girl with pale grey hair in round glasses and a black hooded cape over a pale dress, in strappy sandals, standing on a lily pad and cradling a glowing green sprout. Swampy green and gold foliage with fireflies fills the background. The card gives the role beneath the name as Apprentice, with no second word.

Character
Gucia is described as a seeker of knowledge, a gatherer of secrets and a most eager researcher. Her official profile says she had always kept her distance from others, a quiet and shy girl with a studious air, and that only when conversation turned to mysterious and supernatural happenings, to the things spoken of in hushed whispers, would she speak up with her eyes sparkling. The profile explains that she sees a reflection of herself in the unfathomable unknown.
Her quote sets her apart from the city's institutions: "My calling rests neither in a school nor in a corporation. My dream lies in the research of unknown organisms." The official title-page post words the same line as "neither in the academy nor in a corporation", a minor wording difference between the two official presentations.
Research Interests
Gucia's stated specialism, the research of unknown organisms, connects her directly to the creatures documented among Silvernia's hostile factions, including the Metal-Blooded beasts described on Morgue Street. Her rejection of both academic and corporate patronage also sets her against the corporate bloc covered in Factions.
Combat Role
Gucia is a 4-star character of the Saviour class, a class first given a playable carrier in the second closed beta, and carries the Alba elemental attribute. These values come from the character's official title page and from the in-game listings shown during the second closed beta, so they describe that build rather than a finished release version.
Like every playable character, Gucia channels these abilities through a personal Reactor, the same technology described on Silverium and Spinotrodes. The elemental attribute also determines which Resonance effect triggers once the Resonance meter fills during a fight.
Abilities
The kit below was recorded in the second closed beta build, the Dichotomy Beta Test, so the values describe that build rather than a finished release version. Gucia runs on Erudition, capped at 300, and on Illumination, capped at two stacks. Erudition sets which of three payouts her Skill produces, and Illumination is spent by other characters while Gucia is off the field.
Method | Type | Effect |
|---|---|---|
Specimen Extraction Light | Basic Attack | Four-hit lantern chain granting 10 Erudition on the first and third hits and 20 on the second and fourth. Cancelling the fourth hit into a skill, parry or dodge is worth another 40. |
Seek the Supernatural | Skill | Held for up to two seconds, then spends everything banked. Under 100 Erudition it is a plain lantern swing; under 200 it also releases a small firefly that cuts the target's Alba resistance by 5% for 40 seconds; at the full 300 the firefly is large and the cut is 10%. |
Unknown Species Detected | Ultimate | Hoists the lantern for a burst of light and raises the whole team's Amplitude Coefficient by 10% for 40 seconds. |
Inter-Disciplinary | Switch-in flurry of lantern strikes that returns 140 Erudition. | |
Academite | Passive | Banks a stack of Illumination on each skill or switch-in. While Gucia is off the field, any teammate using a switch-in attack spends a stack for 10% Amplitude Coefficient over 16 seconds. |
Acquaintance
Gucia can be invited to the Detective's Office through the Acquaintance affinity layer, given gifts there, and summoned as a companion. Trust builds from gifts and from ordinary shared activity: fighting alongside the Detective, exploring, and eating together. The details below were recorded in the second closed beta build.
The panel fills in the day job her quote only gestures at. She is a junior researcher on Silverium lifeforms who spends most of her time helping out at her professor's second-hand shop, animated on the subjects that interest her and withdrawn on everything else, and hopeless at haggling with booksellers. It also turns her stated independence into a specific grudge: her dislikes name the United Mining Industry outright, which puts her on the opposite side of the corporate bloc from Bentham and Captain Kaboom.

Five Acquaintance levels are tracked for Gucia. In that build the first four levels each paid Ounces and reading material, and the fifth paid a Standard Shot together with Reactor Crystals. The first level unlocked the Keep Company interaction and the second a personal letter. Those figures come from a test build and are the kind of number most likely to be retuned before release.
