Veilfall: City of Eternal Night - Interest Check (Dark, Supernatural, Urban, Noir)

[LaCroix]

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! We officially have our own board located here @Nowherewoman and I will begin setting up threads and making the board ready and I am going to be putting a discord server in place for the game for anyone that wants to hang out there and use it (which is not required)

Welcome to Veilfall!

Cool! I guess until the official OOC is created, we'll continue to post here? I don't use Discord anymore, so PMs or OOC would be best :)

As for connections, I think I narrowed it down to a few (to start) after reading through everyone's CS and getting to the know the characters a bit more:

@LaCroix
Grey Maddox: I could see Attica being asked to assist him in investigations that needed quick/stealthy approaches. She respects him and his work, while still maintaining caution.

@whimsy
Persy Dux: Attica was intrigued by her, after hearing her sing one evening when she thought she was alone (maybe in a park, or some other green space that Attica's wolf-form might be hanging out in). Still cautious of Persy, but enjoys her singing and they have both had a few conversations here and there, so Percy at least knows she is a shapeshifter.

@Wyatt
Andrea Morse: Seems to be a commonality as they are both "hunters" to a degree, and perhaps have worked together in the past toward a common goal. Attica has a professional respect for her, although doesn't like how reckless she can be in certain situations.

Let me know what you all think, and I can add this to my CS :)

This tracks very nicely for Drea and Attica, I like it and wholly approve! (-:

Here's me coming in hot with connections for everyone!

@Nowherewoman
Love Lowenna! I can see Persy going to the Thorned Orchid either by herself or with a friend or two she met while out partying, so even if she and Lowenna don't know each other personally, Persy would definitely know of her. She prefers the company of women to that of men unless she's feeling particularly destructive that night, and sometimes, when she's feeling particularly vulnerable, she just wants to be held and loved but doesn't want to risk anyone seeing her in that state. We can also roll with your plot hoo of having someone die at the brothel, maybe a friend of Persy's? She can either be there at the time of the incident or maybe she decided not to go that night and has to live with survival's guilt.

@SaintSicaire
Helllooooo Tilda Swinton! Persy has cash to burn and LOVES a good meal. She has quite the addictive personality and hasn't spent a lot of time gambling because she knows once she does, she'll have a hard time leaving. I can see her treating herself to dinner every once in a while before heading over to the Arcane Alchemist for a night of debauchery; how long she stays depends on how good of a time she has. She has money to pay but maybe she has an open tab from when a server or maybe even Arafel herself insisted she can pay at a later time...

@virtualblue
SO. Persy is looking for an item that will grant her eternal youth. So far, she hasn't had much luck in that endeavour; all her leads have turned into dead ends. She's highly secretive about this particular interest and hasn't told anyone what she's up to, but the fact there there's a local shop selling antique curiosities is too intriguing to pass up! Maybe Persy has a new lead she brings to Mariamne under the guise of feigning indifferent curiosity, or maybe she's looking "for a friend". We could do a lot with this, I think!

@HaveStoryWillTravel & @CurvyKitten
Who hired her and how did it go down? I just made something up but if you saw it differently, let me know and I'll change it! We can have it so she's paid in cash OR maybe her bar tab is taken care of--as long as she behaves herself, that is. How often does she sing? Weekly? Monthly? I'm good for whatever! She was a patron long before she was a singer there so she probably knows both Robert and Joana--the latter more so because of her penchant for custom concoctions. Maybe she's has a talking-to about her behaviour. She's a little on the wild side but she both spends a lot of money herself and convinces others to do the same, plus the money she brings in when she sings, so I don't know if they can justify getting rid of her entirely but she's definitely an unpredictable force of nature.

@LaCroix
Gray Maddox: I have it in my plot hooks that a friend of Persy's has gone missing. I have no idea how or why or by whom, so we can get as wild as we want for this one! Persy is beside herself over her friend's disappearance and would have sought out Gray once she realised her friend isn't just on vacation.; whether Gray and Persy already have a history together or she's approaching him for the first time, we have lots of room to make up something cool here.

@Hellion
Persy likes to take long walks to help wind down after a night out, so it is totally possible Attica heard her singing during one of these walks! Persy probably thinks Attica is too high-strung and has probably tried to convince her to come to the Arcane Alchemist with her one of these days so Attica can let loose and have some real fun; whether Attica has come along for the ride or not is totally up to you!

@Wyatt   
Persy and Drea are after similar things. Are they on the same team? Mortal enemies? We could have a lot of fun with this! Persy is highly secretive about her goal to find everlasting youth and hasn't told a soul she's after it. Her research has led her to dead end after dead end but it could be interesting if she keeps running into Drea while she's out and about.

Feel free to reply here or PM me to let me know what you think and we can discuss ideas!

Yay! I'll update my CS with their connection.

I imagine with a mixture of Attica's intrigue and Persy's gift of persuasion, that she will lure her into the AA at least once :)

Persy would be all "Finally, after six months of hounding you about it!"

Posting up my Wip to get some feedback. Apologies for being so quiet, the week was a bit chaotic.

Benjamin ‘Ben’ Romanii

“Run, Rabbit Run.”

 
 Facelciam: Brock O’hurn
 Race: Werewolf
 District: Foundry
 History: Ben crossed the Veil as a teen some twenty years ago, part of a youth migration from the Wildlands. Though he struggled a bit with the transition from green, lush wilds to the cold steel of the Foundry, he found himself at home in the pits. Tradition amongst the packs dictated that all new arrivals must enter the pit so that they could be judged and ‘adopted’. He fared well and was selected into the Ironfangs, a pack that ranges along the outskirts of the Foundry, charged with keeping watch and guarding the borders.

As the years have passed, Ben has truly come to embrace and enjoy the blend of modern comforts and the ancient ways of the pack. A regular at the various fighting pits dotted about the wolves territories, Ben can be found both in the stands and the sands. There’s no better feeling than fresh blood on the knuckles.

 Additional Info: Quite the gearhead, loves fiddling with engines, working on his bike or just swinging a hammer aggressively. Bit of a hedonist. What’s the point of living if you can’t enjoy all the things?
 
 
Powers: Heighten senses, increased strength and durability.
 Weaknesses: Silver and beautiful women.
 Connections: Open
 
 In order of Importance, list these five things as what you seek in this setting: Character development, Social Interaction, Smut, Romance, Drama
 
 
 Ons & Offs: My O/O's, a bit dated but close enough. Feel free to ask.

Hi and welcome fellow werewolf :) Love what you have so far, and looking forward to the finished piece.

I noticed the one stark contrast between our characters is that while Ben is "a regular at the various fighting pits dotted about the wolves territories", those types of events are a point of contention and trauma for Attica since her backstory essentially starts out with her being captured by humans as a young wolf and forced into dog fights.

If you have a chance, read up on her CS, as that would be a great dynamic to play out with another werewolf. :)

[ArtemisHighmore]

Well thank you. I will have to give it a read! I love the initial concept you have but haven't given it a thorough dig yet.

No rush! Looking forward to writing with you in the future :)

Love this! Updating CS now!

I just did too. I know I said I would before, but then I'd forgotten too

[Nowherewoman]

Hey, all-

OOC/PLOTTING thread is up! Please move all discussion of connections etc. there moving forward, to avoid overbumping the Looking For forum.

I've also added the NPCs and Factions thread. Pease give me and Lacroix a little bit to fill in the GM factions and NPCs so they stay at the top. After that, it's free for folks to add their own NPCs on the fly.

Thanks!
