Personality: Cracks jokes but keeps to himself timidly. Short fuse if stressed, and reckless in shades from not sleeping right to trying to surf. Short Bio: James comes from Stocton CA, a rough place to be brought up in. Especially when your dad leaves you with 3 siblings. James has made it, by being infrequently popular on media handles for his prowess with the skateboard and the jackass humor of foregone generations. But other than one spot on a magazine spread his fate hasn't been much use. He has however developed a lean cameraman knack with all sorts of modern cameras formats and video media, even dabbling in editor roles. It's his auditions submitted to the school that landed him his initial sophmore spot for the Tides. Last year was a bit quiet, he struggled academically and it was from hidden troubles at home. This year he's cut his hair and put on a fake smile for anyone asking. He wants to prove himself, to see his current potential maxed.

Bloodwake: IntChk for a Vampiric Cruise

The Plot

So, it's 2037, NYC USA, and a strange reclusive billionaire has decided to host a cruise to Maimi, that will be the stage to fund raising concert/charity ball/philanthropist endeavor. Well that's what gets the blood flowing, since he happens to be a lower level Vampire Lord with a strangely nomadic nature. This gives us a main antagonist, deadline, setting, and universe laws to work with. He could have done this just to chow down, or maybe espionage beyond the ideas of the rich and mortal, or to pick a new creature of the night. The cast can include a hunter, civvies, those inbetween. Let's get this party started! 🚤🧛🏻‍♀️🍻

I'm looking for 3-6 on the roster, with themes from cyberpunk, vampiric lore, supernatural powers, and juicy horror included at a Casual pace & procedure.

The Yacht (the modern day Kismet megayacht)

The Baddie (Kerhazmet "Hazm" Vochanchin)

his human form

Wellspring Tavern: The Lich War

@lostandfoundme Befriend Willow the Mule, Lorn's new aide lol, that one avenue to at least introduce the gang to Lorn, I suspect the orc (and maybe Syd) will be last minute guarded entries. I left Lorns third day open if so for potential collabs after my goof.

Wellspring Tavern: The Lich War

Mods i think, I made a morning oppsie
MY BAD I fixed it with a post that time skips Lorn into a shopping for two days

Wellspring Tavern: The Lich War

(**mispost that was fixed for IC) Lorn was fading off very quickly after the main murmurs exited the building. All the hustle n bustle sank into dredges and rumor, doubt and envy, fear and wonderment. The Darkmere had done its due on terrifying the local populace. It made Lorn snort. And here he was charging into the depths of it all it seemed, with vigorous zeal of wild compatriots. 3day twas the word, so he stumbled with ale on his belly back to his room. He would eat hefty in the morning to feed his big frame. But for now a lean belly of booze and wild dreams overtook him as he entered his up stairs room.

The morning's sunbeams hit the orc directly in the face. Cheap room alright, and he'd drunkenly forgotten to close the blinds. He grunted and rose with gusto. He fumbled around his disarrayed belongings by the bedside for an item. with a little digging, he dug it out. He seemed triumphant as he stuck a corncob pipe into his face. He leaned forward to an almost dead candle for light and breathed deep, the enchanted hash of the northern regions, elvish if he was correct. By the time his buzz hit it the orc was washing his face and heading into public for some well to do questing.

He strode by the stables of Wellspring, thoughts proliferating as he stoked the pipe. He mumblered about skittish horses and approached the bossman of the establishment it seemed, doling out orders to stableboys and chatting up customers. He was a lean tall human, and seemed to like giving orcs dirty looks. Lorn, kicked the gravel under him as he stood around searching for his item. There was a stoat quiet form in the back stall he had his eyes on. By the time the stableman chose him to barter with Lorn had his mind made up.

"Your mule in the back...How much." he growled, the hangover barely there anymore.
"Enough, but Ill let her go for..." responded the human.

A loud noise interrupted their conversation, something had startled a horse nearby.

"40 silver"
"40 it is then, she got a name?"
"Willow"

Satisfied the big orc retrieved his new pack mule. She was kind enough, took snacks, and was blind on her left eye. But Lorn was ok with that. He stratched her chin and meandered off. He never did finish his shopping that day, Willow needed her own lodgings and the orc made the arrangements. Being active in the market square was his only real day 1 triumph. He tucked in early and quietly for the second day, which followed the first save for a visit to the apocacentery and blacksmith for mainaintence and stocking. He'd was stiLl thinking on what his pay would be, and how to approach the celebrity that was Arn.

@z3r0I can see Lorn prodding at Syd passively about his silly orcish ways, like "long walk huh" &&Horses are too skittish imo for most things none gondorian

Wellspring Tavern: The Lich War

Maaan, work got me good. Sorry guys. Finally got some time off.
Will make a post sometime today/tonight to finish up Syd's end of the in-game night.

@DrBatche81
I like the idea of fodder NPCs, lol. We can just chisel them off as they go deeper.
And maybe the remaining handful gets killed in one big attack, or something.

@z3r0

Lorn plans on buying a mule for logistics. An emotional attachment may be made ❤️ And yes, that works Doc
