PLAYER: elle
OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? yes, 100% i'm moonstones over there.
IS A HOTDOG A SANDWICH? niet

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Emilia di Carlo / Kingdom of the Wicked
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Star witch seeks to avenge beloved sister by way of conquering the underworld.
THEIR TEAM FOR TARAVAST PURPOSES: Vannozza! Emilia is the catch of the season~. She may not be ecstatic but I am.
GOT A LINK TO ANY TARAVAST PLOTS & PLANS? I sure do! I'm so sorry it got so long.

HANDWAVERY: WHAT CAN OTHER CHARACTERS SPOT YOURS DOING ON THE DAILY? Emilia is a bookworm that can be spotted trying to devour as much knowledge as witchily possible. She probably frequents places with gardens. She's a calculative little thing, so she's always Up To Something. When not on opposing Taravast teams, she has a very tall demon shadow.
DOES ANYTHING STAND OUT GROTESQUELY/HILARIOUSLY/WTFISHLY ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER(S)? Emilia and Wrath have matching tattoos on their arms all the way up to their elbows. They're a pale lavender that's difficult to notice in the day, but at night they shimmer and almost seem lively at times. What's up with that?

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:

i. Your character is our last hope in the kitchens. Are we saved, are we doomed, is there excess spice, are you Xie Lian?
You are 100% saved. Emilia's been cooking since she was old enough to hold a knife, and by now she knows how to break down a chicken carcass in under three minutes. Her family works a trattoria and their food is known for being sinfully delicious.

ii. Which awkward reddit forum is your character likeliest to end up on? Choosing Beggars/I-don't-work-here-lady/Bridezillas/MaliciousCompliance/ProRevenge/something else?
What is Internet?ProRevenge, without doubt. Falling for the enemy. True crime. Penne lisce isn't real pasta, fight her.

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC), GO: 1. Magically-inclined folks; back home it was too dangerous to associate with other witches lest they be noticed and persecuted. She's never really had that kind of community before. 2. Allies. People who are willing to do what it takes. It's especially interesting when 'what it takes' means something different to different characters. Where's the line? 3. People who are similarly passionate about their pursuits/beliefs, whether these beliefs align or challenge hers.
WHAT WILL YOUR CHARACTER NEED AN EXTRA HAND WITH IN TARAVAST? All those ridiculous suitors, send help.

IMPORTANT ADDITION: TDM

[valeas]

Emilia would've been among the newcomers present for the harpy attack, and then she joined the caravan.

If anyone would like to handwave some brief interactions with Emilia/their character so that they have some idea of each other heading into Taravast, I'm game. Proper CR can always come later.

Alternatively, if anyone would like or have need to wrap a TDM thread, I'm also game for that! We can discuss that here, too.

[plentystrong]

Hmmm... revenge-inclined? Willing to "do what it takes"? I'm interested.

[valeas]

As am I. 👀 I notice you might be looking for grudging respect/belligerent friendship, too.

[plentystrong]

that also, yes! always a good time

Re: elle.

[beitangmoran]

Hello, Fellow bookworm, this guy would sell his soul for knowledge and also coincidentally he has visions of the future sometimes. he doe snot call it magic because in his world it's normal, but it's magic.

[valeas]

Visions you say. 👀 Emilia's had a strange dream or two in her time. A big problem for her is that she is a skeptical/questioning person at heart, and her magic system is largely intuitive, so she struggles with that side of things. She'd be interested to hear more!

And they can explore all the bookshops. All of them.

[beitangmoran]

he is the Star Master of the Aquarius Constellation, and his special power is future visions that are always accurate, but also sometimes have no context, and also he cannot choose when the visions come.

But yes, all the books.

[bearshermark]

Magical ally with strong beliefs? hmHM! would be perfectly willing to help ward off suitors if he knew/it's apparent they're a bother. gardens!!

also could be fun, cosmically. El is aligned with a tree of life/light. he'd be interested in hearing about her connection to the stars

[valeas]

Oh, man y e s. Especially since I'm pretty sure her canon will, uh, eventually tackle a tree of its own. She'd love to hear all about his own alignments, this sounds like wonderful CR in the making! Let's do it.
