Old One Rising (A Lovecraftian adventure-horror RP - Full)

Really heavy WIP

Started it but I have something urgent to attend to. Will finish tomorrow.

EDIT: Still working on it. Terribly sorry for the delay but things are slightly hectic at the moment.

Lilliana Pinelli

Lilliana Pinelli

The Woman of Pleasure

Character Theme - Rhiannon

General Information

---

Full Name: Lilliana Pinelli
Title: The Woman of Pleasure
Gender: Female
Age: 38
Build: Tall with a pear shaped body. Not a fighter, but she is far from frail. Mothers are tougher than they look.
Appearance: A loving housewife in appearance. She keeps a simple elegance about her appearance with make up and jewelry passed down from her own mother. Mostly wears silk dresses and lace, never really dressing casually. She was taught to believe that a woman who doesn't present themselves as such would surely be shamed wherever they went. As of recently, she tends to dress in black mostly to signify her status as a mourning widow.

Background

---

Psychological status: Relatively stable. Still in mourning for her husband. Insomniac. Burdened by guilt and shamed by those who know of the sins she has committed.
Quirks, ticks, conditions, sensitivities to the paranormal: Since the death of her husband, Lilliana has been able to hear the inhuman uttering of the Old One in her nightmares. She is incapable of understanding them, nor does she fully realise what is happening. In truth, she has simply labelled these "visions" as just nightmares. As of recently, they have become frighteningly frequent. In fear of being sent to the sanitarium, she has not informed anyone of her nightmares.
Magical potential: As a result of her unexplained connection to the Old Ones, Lilliana has very high, latent magical potential.
Personality: Lilliana was once a proud woman; a role model for aspiring housewives and young ladies of the sort. She was kind and respectful to those around her, yet fierce and independent when need be. Her love towards her husband was only shadowed by her love for her children. It was this love that was her downfall. After she committed an unspeakable act for the sake of her family, all the respect she had built up in her town had shattered. No longer was she a proud role model. Now she is a quiet, miserable woman who is just trying to get through the days. The only thing that keeps her sane are her children, and she constantly puts on a brave face for their sake despite the recent loss of her husband. She is ridden with guilt and grief over what she has done, but takes solace in the fact that it was for the sake of her children.
Hometown: Roccamandolfi, Italy
Education: Highschool Education. Experience in business administration.
Occupation: Former housewife. Former prostitute. Currently employed as a secretary for a law firm in Arkham.
Achievements: Completed highschool. Gave birth to two beautiful boys.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Religion/philosophy: Catholic
Marital status: Widowed
Family status: Deceased husband - Giovanni Pinelli, Eldest son (18 years) - Giovanni (Johnny) Pinelli II, Youngest son (15 years) - Dominic Pinelli
Biographical writeup: (Whatever you like, but include either why they came to Arkham or, if a resident, their history there.)

Miscellaneous information

Combative belongings: (Please don't begin the RP packing an armory with you - more can be acquired later.)
Noncombative belongings: (Keys to a storage closet at the university? A pet rock?)
Other information (optional):

Old One Rising (A Lovecraftian adventure-horror RP - Full)

I'll be making my character sometime today assuming I can pull myself away from Bloodborne.

Seekers of the First Flame

Delwyn couldn't bring himself to look at the carnage, huddling with his hands clasped over his head to avoid the sounds of battle. He was made sick by his own cowardice. He hid like a child, convinced he'd be of no use, scared for his own safety while his companions charged forward. He thought that by becoming an undead, the fear of death and pain would slowly slip away. However the thought of hollowing with each death only served to strengthen his own cowardice ways. He took solace in the fact that the young man, Lucas, was also hiding with him. Or he did, until Lucas also stood and joined the fray. Rather than admire the boy's courage, Delwyn could only think about how mortified he was that this child had the strength to stand and fight where he didn't. Surely they must all have taken note of his pathetic actions. Delwyn was certain that they would want nothing more to do with the useless sorcerer. He had almost accepted that fate, ready to just continue sitting patiently until it was all over, when the image of his loved ones flashed before his eyes.

He could see little Isabella's face, and how much her likeness resembled his own. Margaret's warm smiles and beautiful, peaceful brown eyes came to mind. God how he wanted to be with them again. He was never a strong, fearless husband to Margaret. She was the one who truly had an inner fire to her. He prayed for her strength, resolved to help make a difference and get through this journey with his new comrades. Standing up on shaky legs, Delwyn quickly darted out from behind his hiding spot and opened his catalyst. To his left he saw young Lucas laying waste to a group of hollows. The enraged young man was quite a frightening sight, but Delwyn didn't have time to be cower before his mighty roar. Instead, his soul bloomed with new power that touched upon the printed pages of his Catalyst and sprang to life all around him. Beautiful wisps of blue and white Soul magic dancing around his body before quickly rushing in towards his eyes. The sudden bright light stung painfully, but when it faded Delwyn had reactivated his Bellowing Dragon eyes once again. He suddenly saw the battle around him from many different angles; able to watch as Gerhard and Asta took on the archers. The dazzling ray of light that flew from Saira was a magnificent sight to behold, truly, and Alaric fought valiantly alongside the others. Everyone was safe, although there were a few injuries. Nothing that couldn't be dealt with. With the enemies thinning out, the only threat Delwyn could find were a group of archers perched high on the waterway, out of reach from the others. Saira could have fired more of her powerful miracles at them, but upon scanning the environment Delwyn had already devised a faster solution.

Coming to a halt next to Gerhard, the Sorcerer's dragon eyes flared with power as he quickly revised through his plan. The archers had begun to pull back their bows as Delwyn held his catalyst facing towards them. Soul sorceries gathered within its pages, accumulating together in a brilliant orb of blue power. Delwyn was never particularly good with offensive sorcery, but like all students of Vinheim he was capable of basic Soul Arrows. As he fired the arrow to the archer, he aimed slightly higher with the intent of completely missing his target. The arrow of dazzling magic flew over the group of archers, captivating their attention for a brief moment before they turned to continue preparing their attack. They would have fired, if not for the loud rumbling sound that began to thunder behind them. The group of hollows turned to face the source, only to be met with a barrage of falling rocks and boulders from above. Delwyn had spied a rather unstable stone structure on the outer wall of the Undead Burg. He could only guess that it was some form of balcony or battlement, but he knew a good shot would bring the whole thing down upon the archers. Rocks slid off from the top of the waterway, bringing the limp bodies of the crushed archers off the edge and down into the depths below. The majority of the threat was somewhat dealt with, aside from a few remaining hollows being finished off by his comrades. His head began to ache from overusing his dragon eyes, but before he ceased the spell he took a moment to inspect the waterway for any more enemies.
"Forgive me for sounding pushy," Delwyn spoke between pants, his magic taking quite a bit of energy from him, "but perhaps it would be best for us to continue. There are some large rats in the waterway but they won't bother us if we don't bother them." Delwyn leaned up against the wall, closing his catalyst and taking deep breathes while he waited for the group to decided to move on or not. Perhaps they intended to pillage the corpses for anything of use, but the thought never crossed Delwyn's tired mind.

Seekers of the First Flame

If you'd like to just leave Alaric on hold and re-introduce him when you're able to come back into the RP then you are welcome to do that. I'm not incredibly reliable with my own posting what with being somewhat busy (School holidays are on so I don't have work for a while, so I guess that leaves me open for a bit), so I probably shouldn't be the one to take control of him.

I am writing up a post now that will somewhat wrap up the encounter, kinda. You don't have to stop immediately, but I'm just going to have Delwyn suggest that we move forward.

FairyTail: Golden Dragoon Guild

I'm sorry to say that I intend to pull out of this one. I've been busy recently so I haven't been very active in this roleplay (Let alone the one I'm GMing) and as a result I seemed to have lost the spark for this one. It's unfortunate to admit, but the interest just isn't there anymore.

It has nothing to do with the people here, since you have all been a pleasure thus far to roleplay with, but I just can't seem to bring myself to force a post for a roleplay that I'm not particularly invested in anymore.

Thank you for having me in this community and I hope you can forgive the sudden departure. I look forward to roleplaying with any of you again in the future.

Old One Rising (A Lovecraftian adventure-horror RP - Full)

I wish I could say I knew more about H.P. Lovecraft and Arkham, but unfortunately I've never really made time to look it up. It's on my list though!

I do have a general idea on the whole Lovecraftian cosmic horror thing and I am very interested in this premise if you'll have me.

FairyTail: Golden Dragoon Guild

I will add it if the GM tells me I absolutely have to but only then.

@LostDestiny

I told the GM that I didn't want to add that detail as well. He was said he didn't mind. He's caught up in some real life issues I believe but I think it's safe to say that he won't mind if you don't add it.

Seekers of the First Flame

I will post sometime after the weekend.

Very sorry for all this delay. Work was very tiring, and now I have to help prepare the house for a big event we're hosting on sunday. It looks like you guys seem to be working very well together with your posts. You're all free to decide when this hollow encounter ends and you continue through to the burg.

FairyTail: Golden Dragoon Guild

I apologise for being active on the ooc but not the IC. The last week I've been working a lot and the only excuse I have is that I am just really tired. Like incredibly so.

I work as a teacher assistant at a school for children with special needs. However I'm usually only a casual staff member, but I've been put on for this entire week and all I can really say is that I am not used to it whatsoever. I wish I could say that I'll be posting this weekend, but I have to help prepare the house for a big event we're having.

Very sorry for the delay. If you don't wish to wait until the weekend is over Satoshi, you can take brief control of Shalquoir in your next post just to get things moving on. As for my other characters, Makoto is still hanging with Cinia, Linia and Yuni but I have no clue what's happening there. Charlotte is with Shadow but again I don't really know what Demon and I intend to do with them now.

Gosh, writing that makes me sound so disorganised with these characters.

FairyTail: Golden Dragoon Guild

He and Shalquoir could work together. They both seem to be very protective and caring people, even if they have different ways of showing it.

Besides I want that duel.
