Grease Monkey

Bailey Juniper, also known as Grease Monkey, is a superhero and part of the Understatements (the youngish superhero team not affiliated with The Guard). Although Juniper is not a metahuman, they are an incredibly skilled fighter and a genius of technology and invention.

History
Bailey Juniper was born in southern Alabama to Roger and Annebelle Juniper. Although they were very poor, Bailey showed aptitude at an early age in building and tinkering, and made a business out of fixing people's broken cars and appliances. This soon turned into an obsession for Bailey, who began to hang at a local junkyard, building wonderous inventions with incredible skill.

Eventually, their aptitude gained some notice. They were offered a Guard-related scholarship and introduced to a more formal education. However, Bailey found themself unsatisfied with this, and frustrated with the Guard's strict rules and training. Eventually, they struck out on their own, leaving The Guard behind and operating as Grease Monkey, using their makeshift inventions to agressively persue and stop criminals. During this time, they also gained a lot of agility and fighting skill, along with a fair share of bruisers.

Finally, Bailey found a place they belonged in The Understatements, an up and coming superhero team. Although their methods can be a bit harsh and their taste for authority is bitter, Bailey fights for justice and security in New Unity and beyond.

Powers and Abilities
Grease Monkey has no superpowers, but is a skilled combatant, using a wrench and other worker's tools as weaponry. They have an acute agility that allows them to outmaneuver many fighters. However, their primary strength comes in an incredible aptitude for machines, having a litany of wonderous and dangerous inventions at their disposal. in a pinch, they can even repurpose technology that others have discarded and utilize that towards their own needs.

Personality
Grease Monkey has a brash and unforgiving personality, and isn't afraid to speak their mind. While this often gets them in trouble with the public-facing-minded Guard, they prefer this interaction as it feels honest and free to them. Grease Monkey has a disdain for authority and will often butt heads with public officials, going so far as to attempt to enact justice on particularly corrupt politicians.
