[OOC] Dishonored: Plagued City (ParagonKrogan + queen-of-the-void)

[ParagonKrogan]

Dunwall faces many hardships in the recent months, not the least of which being the plague. The empress's murder definitely did not help matters, either. A few citizens remain skeptical of the Lord Regent's story, but there is not much that one can do about that, is there?

[ParagonKrogan]

Character Name: Taegan Abney

Age: 20

Appearance:

picture

At little more than five feet tall, Tae doesn't have much of a physical presence, but it serves her well. Many would say that she's just skin and bones, but she would argue that there's a little spite in there somewhere. Tae has bony fingers and defined cheekbones that can be attributed to poverty. Her visible collarbone and rib cage would also attest to this. She has sullen brown eyes and wavy orange hair. Tae's wardrobe consists of a pair of dirty overalls, a once-white tank top, and a denim blake cap.

Personality: Tae is an incredibly private person, for someone who doesn't have any real privacy. She thinks herself very clever, and is not unwilling to show off. Nine out of ten times, she responds to serious questions with jokes or dead silence. While she believes she has a talent for pushing people away, she is remarkably bad at telling anyone to go away, so she often ends up sharing space with about a dozen people every night. She enjoys the company, but is not a fan of all the questions constantly asked of her. She avoids nobles as much as she can, but is not unwilling to assist them with questionable matters for a reasonable amounts of money (read: any money at all, I am starving). Tae also has a bad habit of giving money paid to her by nobles to children begging on the street.

History: Taegan's parents went missing when she was fifteen. She doesn't remember why exactly they left, but she vehemently believes that it was her fault that they didn't come back. She waited for them to come back until there was no food left for her to eat. Tae wasn't sure what exactly she was supposed to do with herself, so she wandered for a long time. At this point, she wasn't sure how she was going to get more to eat or where she was going to sleep. Admittedly, wandering away from her home was definitely ill-advised, but she was certain that her parents were not coming back for her. Eventually, she found herself searching through garbage for anything that even remotely resembled food. She was willing to eat anything. Much to her dismay, she couldn't find enough to silence her growling stomach.

"That's not gonna get ya anywhere, hon. They save their scraps for the dog," a voice laughed. Tae turned to look at the source of the voice. It was a dark-skinned woman with at least one ring on each finger.

Tae scowled. "Thanks."

The woman held out a silver coin and smirked as Tae's eyes widened. "The proper response was 'Who are you?' By the way, the answer to that question is 'Your new employer,' " she said, retracting the coin. Thus, Taegan learned to steal from the woman who would employ her up until she was captured four years later.

Skills: She has had five years to perfect her thievery, and she is rather good with a knife.

Likes: Money, warm meals, quiet

Dislikes: Questions, old people, nobles

Other: "So, how old are you?" "Older than you and younger than the earth."

[queen-of-the-void]

Character Name: Amelia Pace
Age: 23
Appearance: My face claim is Adelaide Kane but specifics is that she used to be a bit chubby when she worked for Lord Estermont and is 5'3". When she started working for the Golden Cat she lost a lot of weight (ranging onto unhealthy) and cut off all of her hair. She wears a torn and worn pink skirt with obviously patched places and stockings and a tank top with heels. Although if she's not in the Cat she puts on a long jacket that is about two sizes too big. She is in the habit of wearing makeup although due to the nature of her job it gets smeared.

Personality: She is shy and anxious to the point of not being able to interact with people, although if someone shows kindness she responds very warmly. She has the common sense of a 12 year old, often getting lost or into trouble. She is mostly just afraid, she's afraid of getting her fellow Courtesans into trouble and of the Pendletons and the power they hold over her. She's afraid that her family is dead of the rat plague and she's afraid of the rats. Fear is practically a personality trait by now. Anyone could read her emotions like a book

History: She lived with her mother and father in what is now called the flooded district when she was young, happy with them. She moved into a place closer to Lord Estermont's offices when she was of age and had a job. Lord Estermont died in a rat attack, the other nobles shut and locked his door. They cared only for themselves. She can still sometimes hear his screams. She went looking for work, rapidly getting thinner and more desperate. They all told her to try the Golden Cat, so she did and now she has a job of filling other's beds.
Skills: She can sew and clean fairly well, filing paperwork, reading. She doesn't have a special talent that makes her really special but she sews and cleans for other girls, tending to them if they got whipped for disobedience. A lot of people take advantage of her caring nature, sometimes not even realizing it.

Likes: She likes books about adventure, paintings, fires (it's so /cold/ in the Cat) and kind people. Dessert is a guilty pleasure of hers, although she can't eat much anymore. She doesn't dislike being with people but she's often afraid of offending them or the power they could have over her.

Dislikes: She would never be brave enough to say she dislikes anything besides the rat plague.

Other: She sees herself as being straight but hides her affection towards the other Courtesan's at all costs
