Foxy DeVille


The Basics
Legal Name: Gloriana de la Vega
Alias: The Queen
Age: 33
Gender: Female




Physical Description
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 128 lbs
Face Claim: Carmen Carrera
General Appearance: An attractive Latina woman who always dresses like she's walk the runway. Her outfits show off her curves in a way that remains tasteful. Gloriana has tattoo of the word "Shhh..." on her right index finger and one of a wedding band on her left ring finger.





Personality and History


Personality
Gloriana carries herself with an air of aloof amusement, letting very little visibly phase her. She enjoys beautiful things while detesting those who act brutish or ugly. If she likes someone she will gently tease them, acting like an older sister. Gloriana ends to keep her past to herself, any questions about something like her ring finger tattoo get brushed aside with "There are some things a lady doesn't discuss."


Biography
The child of a poor tailor in Mexico, Gloriana began running with a street gang at a young age and moved up the criminal ranks to become one of the top assassins for the Tijuana Cartel. While the macho lifestyle of a hitman would be appealing to many a young man, Gloriana had realized she was in fact a woman. She began secretly participating in drag shows at gays bars. Eventually her employers discovered this and since drug lords aren't the most progressive minded of individuals they decided to have her killed. She responded by murdering the fuck out of everyone they sent after her. Realizing she couldn't keep this up forever, she sought sanctuary by fleeing to Los Angeles at the Continental. There she was able to undergo hormone therapy with the help the hotel's medical staff, got paperwork giving her name as Gloriana de la Vega, and began living her life as a woman. She also started working for the Continental as a Seamstress. This was eight years ago and Gloriana has become a fixture at the LA hotel. She sometimes goes out for a night on the town as heat between her and the Cartel has simmered but to be safe she'll bring along an assassin as a "date."   




Weapons & Equipment


Weapons:

Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife: Gloriana always has at least one of these cunningly hidden on her person and it is her preferred weapon.

Walher PPK/E: Sometimes one does have to put a bullet in somebody and Gloriana would rather it come from a gun with some style to it.

She can also turn parts of her outfit, such as scarves and heels, into improvised weapons.


Equipment:

Her shop rivals anything one could find on Savile Row or Rodeo Drive except Gloriana works with body armor as well as fine fabrics.






Skills


Skill Name:

Seamstress: Her hands create stylish attire for assassins which not only look impeccable but offer protection and a holstered gun won't interrupt the lines.

Sicario: She was once a ruthless killer and while her skills are abit rusty there are some things one never forgets.

Fashionista: Gloriana stays up to date on the latest styles, not to mention gossip about the beautiful people of the world.

Medic: If you need a doctor, go to the doctor. If in dire need Gloriana can stitch up more than seams.

Multilinguist: Her native language is Spanish and she speaks fluent English with a charming accent. She has learned French and Italian, primarily so she can read their editions of Vogue.

The first picture doesn't seem to be working but other than that she is approved.

I have the intro written up! However there are some people who have expressed interest who have yet to create their sheet. So I will be posting it up on Friday to give them time to finish their sheets.

We could also use a few more male characters! Lots of breath taking woman in the continental but I can't quite claim em all can I?!

The continental is open once more! And is looking for more guests to check in while in between... "jobs".


I need a few more people until I can open things fully. Male and Female Assassins/ staff are highly requested. If you have any questions or anything about the game please let me know.

MortuumMortuary

This is very cool! Having seen all the movies and knowing lore already, I’m very interested :-)

If you would like an armorer, I have one, but if not, I have a few assassins I’m willing to play with  ;)

Hey!

You can be whatever you want to be! Honestly I am still highly interested in getting this game going so by all means welcome aboard.

MortuumMortuary

I can try write up a few CS’s and you could pick which character(s) would fit the best or something like that?

Or I could just make a CS for one character and go from there ;)

MortuumMortuary

I guess you’ll be meeting the Kitta Grau soon enough ;)

The Basics
Legal Name: Viktoria Ilves
Alias: Kitta Grau
Age: 36
Gender: Female




Physical Description
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 160lbs
Face Claim: Amber Heard, 3 Days to Kill
General Appearance:
   •   Striking platinum blonde hair
   •   Always in a long, black, leather jacket

   •   Several tattoos
Devil Woman, upper right thigh
Woman of Death, left side





Personality and History


Personality
Viktoria is extremely tricky to pin down, and when you do, everyone in the area will die. She’s known to kill people point-blank if they piss her off. She’s cut-throat and a ruthless killer, dressed in black to hide the blood stains. She can kill a crowd and clean it up before anyone is the wiser. She leaves no trace unless it’s intentional, as a warning or an example.

She’s extremely cold to everyone she meets, brushing them off or even outright ignoring them if they’re brave enough approach her. A glance from her could mean that you’re next on her kill-list if you’re not careful, respect is key when dealing with someone who could erase your existence in under an hour.

She’s a fan of pistols, large, echoing spaces, and smoke grenades. Viktoria prefers surprise and premeditated advances, confusion caused by smoke and the muffled sounds of her suppressors.

Biography
She’s the one you send to set the devil running.

Her name is Viktoria “Kitta Grau” Ilves, she’s shaken hands with the devil and scared him shitless before.
“Kitta Grau” in Swedish urban legend/folklore is a woman so despicable and evil that even the devil fears her.

She’s also killed a man after he attempted to fire at one of her contacts. Viktoria did so by cornering him, fracturing his ribs with a broken dining room chair leg, then stomping on his rib cage, and puncturing his lung with her heels. Viktoria didn’t even hesitate to put a bullet directly into his skull.

She’s a ghost, she’s heard of but no one has her number, address, or knows much about her. The high table has her last known address and her old number.

Viktoria was mistakenly made excommunicado because of false information on her given to the High Table by an “unknown” source at the time. However, the High Table has eyes and ears everywhere, so it wasn’t hard to find out just who sent the tip in. It turned out to be none other than one of Viktoria’s former associates, a hacker from her old coterie. He had been jealous over the fact that she found a better hacker and exchanged him for her, seeking his revenge on her via making her excommunicado. This information caused harm to someone on The Continental’s grounds, by violating the rules of safe haven the Continental gives, he was executed.

Skills


Skill Name:
Tongues of the Trade: Years of travelling countries gave Viktoria the ability to speak several languages:

  • Estonian
  • Finnish
  • Swedish
  • Russian
  • English
Clean Slate: As an ex-clean up crew member, she knows the fastest ways to dispose of bodies and how to clean a space well.
Stone Face: Viktoria is extremely hard to read, both her body language and the subtext of her words, unless it’s intentionally made visible. In that case, watch your every move.
Darling Technician: Viktoria has many people bound to her, whether they like it or not, but she has one who is very loyal and useful. Adelina, an extremely competent, part-time computer programmer turned full-time internet hacker, is extremely intelligent and readily available whenever Viktoria sees fit to use her skills. Viktoria and Adelina share a strange bond that is more than just platonic friends yet beyond conventional love.
