CLOSED/MAY REBOOT IN FUTURE

Igraine's probably going to get herself into shitload of trouble with the Wraith. Instead of attempting to locate the one Amaury dropped, she's just going to get him another brick of cocaine. She'd have no real way of tracking it down other than by attempting to retrace Amaury's steps. Would she know where Vlad's home is and that Amaury had went there earlier? Unless vampire heightened senses can in fact track down traces of drugs like airport security dogs, but that means she would eventually locate the Ventrue nest. That would be a load of trouble and perhaps just the discovery she needs to really make a name for herself.

Actually, after @Nytem4re's post, I did want to point out a detail about how Igraine runs the drug cartel (or manages a portion if you don't think she's high ranking enough to be in charge of all or most of it).

Primarily, selling drugs is a lucrative source of income, but secondarily, it's a source of blood. As addicts become increasingly addicted, they buy more and more of their preferred drug, usually racking up a massive debt. The cartel promotes this, up to a point, as long as the amount made from the victim in the past is much more than they currently owe. Eventually, said victim would run out of money and be unable to purchase more drugs, and the victim will be 'strung along' with loaned drugs until one day, as the victim comes in to borrow just a bit more, the cartel kills him, hangs him upside down, slits his throat and collects the blood. Depending on their drug of choice, their corpse will be 'marked' a certain way, giving the impression that different gangs control different drugs. Their bodies will be disposed of in various different fashions as well to give the same impression. If the victim is poor, no one would care much, but if the victim is rich, the shame of having an addict in the family is usually enough for noble houses to keep the death under wraps for the most part. The manner of death, thanks to the unique markings, would lead investigators to know immediately that the victim was an addict as all previous victims with said markings and methods of disposal were addicts upon further investigation.

Igraine did not come up with all these ideas herself; she either inherited them from someone else who used to run the cartel, or it was suggested to her by underlings. But it's been a good plan so far and she's kept it going. it keeps a steady supply of blood coming into the house, though some do worry about the effects of blood laced with narcotics.

Stella Arcana (A sci-fi mecha twist on the Magical Girl genre) 1x1 RP with deadpixel101 and Stern Algorithm

The carrier Arcana Fantasia hovered above the devastation, glimmering and white. The research station, hidden in some dark corner of the galaxy had been compromised. The work that would lead to humanity's last grasp for salvation had been all but entirely destroyed. All the researchers, all the would-be super-soldiers, dead...all but six. All the super-weapons, destroyed...all but six. But the attackers, the so-called 'Pathfinders' were themselves utterly destroyed as well.

Six mechanical giants stood or hovered under the carrier, the Frames and their pilots, all that remained of the project, and the force that had returned death to the Pathfinders. One Frame, known as Balmung, put away its sword as the carrier descended to pick them up. Balmung's pilot, Marco, devastated over the death of his father and the destruction of the station that he had called 'home' for a majority of his life, summoned up the strength to say, "Everyone! We're getting in the ship!"

Without a word, a dark, svelte Frame, Mithra, leaped into the air acrobatically, landing in the docking bay before Arcana Fantasia had even touched the ground yet, and went inside.

"C-come on ShiZhen," Marco said to a bulky, armless and legless Frame that hovered, "Let's go inside." The bulky Frame, Chrysalis, didn't budge. It's pilot, ShiZhen, sat in the cockpit weeping. When the carrier landed, Balmung slowly pushed Chrysalis towards the ramp looking back at the other three Frames, expecting them to follow him.

---

Arcana Fantasia's hangar was spacious, capable of carrying many more than just the six Frames that entered. Mithra was already docked, its pilot, Rana, had already exited her Frame and was making her way along the catwalk away from her 'comrades'. Balmung maneuvered Chrysalis into a docking rack before making its way over to a docking rack if its own. By the time Marco had exited Balmung, Rana had already taken a lift to another section of the ship. Sighing, Marco went to Chrysalis and attempted to open the hatch, but it was locked. He began pounding on it, "ShiZhen! Are you alright?!"

But don't worry. You're not a Guardian so you don't have it nearly as bad xD

@lovely complex

I don't know, being an adjutant under Elizabeth SUCKS.

@luclovers

Why you hurt cute lil' Iggy?

Note: Another nickname Igraine hates is "Migraine".

Evolution of Conflict: A Sci-Fi Mecha 1x1 FaithfulMuse and Stern Algorithm

Orpheus' attack was enough to draw most of the strikecraft to them, leaving the path fairly clear for Maya's team to advance. A few of the strikecraft broke off to attack them, but Legion was able to make short work of them. The team approached one of the ships, but Obsidian took position on front, sustaining minor damage from ship's anti-strikecraft guns.

As the bulk of the enemy strikecraft approached, Sion ordered, "Nyx, we mustn't let them any closer or we'll get overwhelmed, take as many of them out as you can, I'll back you up."

Sunder was a bit pleased that Eline wasn't going to go get her brother, although he wished Balio wasn't here either. "S-so, any catches today?" Sunder asked, trying to make small talk.

"I see," Reas replied looking at the plants and trying to memorize their unique shapes.

"Oh?" Harin said quizzically. He had only been joking, pegging Ryul as the type who preferred to travel instead of staying in one place. "You should let Emtardas know, I think he wants to retire, the man's older than he looks."

Igraine was awoken by the hated voice of Persephone coming through the announcer in her room. In contrast to the content of the message, Persephone's voice sounded timid and weak, making Igraine wonder why Father let Persephone make such an important announcement in the first place. But one word came to Igraine's mind, concidentally, the same word her father used to describe the situation to Persephone with: "War". This was war, and not even hearing Persephone was enough to spoil Igraine's excitement.

Hopping out of bed, she picked her favorite outfit, the frilly black and crimson dress. It was considered extravagant, gaudy, and childish, 'trying too hard to be cute', but Igraine had earned her eccentricity with drug money and service to the House. To finish it off, She put on long black lace stockings and crimson high-heeled ankle boots and burst out of her room, running down the hallways to the foyer. Leaning on the railing, she shouted for all to hear, "Our House will make an offering to Lord Tepes with six pints of the bluest blood to be found in all England! The blood of the Queen herself!" While it might seem stupid to blurt out her idea in the open, what Igraine was counting on was forcing as many people to bear witness to the fact that she had come up with the idea first. Granted, the idea itself wasn't particularly clever, and Igraine hadn't in the slightest considered the difficulty and the nuance such an operation would entail, but Igraine thought little of details.

Having succeeded in her mission, she smirked and looked around the grand hall, spotting Elizabeth and Laurent approaching each other for a conversation. Elizabeth she had to respect for her rank, but Laurent could as easily be Igraine's rival and competitor as much as a co-conspirator and ally; either way, neither held sway over the other. Grabbing the edge of the railing, Igraine somersaulted down to the hall, bypassing the stairs and landed deftly like a cat. "Lady Parks," Igraine greeted respectfully, "Monsieur de Liberté," she greeted with a not-so-hidden smugness, caring little that she was interrupting their conversation, "What think you of my idea? Of course it will take a dedicated team to pull it off, and I wouldn't mind sharing the credit and working in concert with present company. After all this is for the glory of the House, and my Father, not for personal gain."

Igraine Grangrel

Name: Igraine Grangrel
Blood: PURE. BLOOD.
Age by appearance: 14
Immortal age: 169
Appearance:

Igraine

House: Grangrel
Rank: Adjutant
Short bio (+personality):

Igraine is the result of Amaury's fleeting interest in the pleasures of 'younger flesh', Igraine's mother having been turned at the age of 14 and kept as a sort of concubine. While no one would dare ridicule Amaury Grangrel to his face, having Igraine's mother around invited an awkward and silent judgment that became simply too inconvenient to maintain. Igraine's mother was dismissed from Amaury's side to become a low-ranking and clout-less member of House Grangrel. It is into this unusual disgrace that Igraine was born; however, she sought instead to rise in the ranks based on her own merit in spite of the stigma surrounding her.

Unable to physically age beyond 14, Igraine knew she would have a hard time putting herself to work in the brothel competing against the more well-endowed individuals. Of course, part of her also wanted to distance herself as much as possible from her mother's folly. Instead, she became something one would least expect of a girl who would perpetually be in her young teens, 'muscle'. Igraine started off learning how to fight in order to protect the house and its businesses, though soon she demonstrated a knack for management, allowing her to take on the heavy responsibility of managing the House's drug cartel as well as training House members in combat.

Strangely enough, she doesn't resent her father, admiring him for his strength and dominance. As Amaury's daughter, Igraine considers herself superior to the rest of the House, though no one takes her seriously and she doesn't have the support of Amaury to back up her arrogance. Where it counts, she keeps in line, but for the most part she is petulant and demanding, scathing and critical. Igraine absolutely despises Persephone for being Amaury's favorite. Igraine also considers humans as livestock and wouldn't be caught dead romancing one as her concept of pure-blooded-ness is restricted to children of vampire parents (both parents, of course), in other words: herself and those like her. Igraine's demeanor switches constantly between a coy, childish innocence, and a mature, sadistic tyrant. She's not above ingratiating herself to men with her nubile graces to get what she wants, but more often than not, she flies off the handle and resorts to violence instead, preferring force to guile. Anyone who calls her 'Iggy' or tells her that her full name is pretty hard to pronounce is punished instantly.
