@Lord Orgasmo would Victor and Adrian recognise any sort of monster/entity that uses the abilities you described in y'vanna's response? Asking for the Collab.
Wonderful posts everyone, I'm really glad we've made it through the Christmas period and I'm looking forward to posting more frequently with all of you. I'll work on a Collab with Dino tomorrow!
Thanks so much for accepting her, I'm glad I managed to get it right on the first try. Just to double check, is this going to be an 18+ roleplay? My character's pretty dark (compared to what I usually make) and I want to know just how explicit I'm allowed to be. Is drug use, violence and the mention of erotic things (without going into detail on those things) acceptable or should I tone it down into mere implications?

I hope you're still open. I'd love to join this! My friend DinoNuts is working on a CS to work as my character's 'bodyguard'. Excuse the lack of formatting btw, I could never get the hang of it ^^" TLDR, she's That One Cyberpunk Girl On All The Billboards In Every Cyberpunk Setting Ever - a disillusioned celebrity trapped in a gilded cage.

(Edit: I should probably warn that there are explicit themes in her backstory. Nothing overt or graphic save for mentions and implications of sex and pornography.)



Let me know if anything needs fixed, especially in the balancing of her power. I wanted to make an investigative/helper build instead of anything combat orientated, so whilst she's really good at getting names and snooping around, she's not so good in hardship.
Is this RP still around?
Victor Strade and Adrian
Trade District - Central District


Heston was a city of vibrance. The crowds called out their signature market cries as ripples in the undulating crowds moved citizens to and fro, each elaborately and cheerfully dressed in brightly dyed clothes. Bunting fluttered in the breeze and the sun glinted off the metal flagpoles, holding banners and tapestries. The noise of hooves on the cobbles rattled its steady rhythm to the din of the market in the Trade district as Adrian, trembling, affixed the oil-soaked bandana around her nose and mouth and did her best to appear utterly impassive as her bony fingers gripped tighter and tighter still onto Victor’s hand.

Even on the worst of days, Adrian had a little edge on the usual limits of human perception in the state she was in now. Colours were brighter, sounds just a little sharper, and movement in her periphery stood out just enough to be irritating. Smells...it was hit or miss, and most of the time it missed dismally and left her nostrils perpetually assaulted with body odour. The sleepy hamlets and lively townships that Victor took her through couldn’t hold a candle to the sensory onslaught that was the city of Hestor, and that’s why she had the peppermint bandana to - at the very least - cut through some of the torment. Still, it gave her an atrocious headache when coupled with the thumping, droning noises and the dizzying array of unfamiliar sights.

Fortunately, Victor had sent word by courier from one of the outlying villages and once he arrived at one of the many taverns on the borders of the Trade district, situated far enough from the noise of the market, all it took was a brief introduction and one of the maids brought them to their room. The moment Adrian entered she ripped off her bandana, drew the curtains shut and landed face-first on the bed.

“Aaaaaaargh. Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh,” Adrian let out muffled groans of pain into the sheets. Her head was pulsing and the afterimages of the day were burned into her eyelids in splotches of colour.

“It’s okay, there there.” Victor absentmindedly comforted her as he waddled around the room, impressed with the stature of their room. Then again, anything was more fancy than what he was used to. “We can rest up for a bit but there’s still some important rules we have to follow. Well… -you- have to follow” he continued unpacking their gear as he spoke to Adrian.

Adrian continued grumbling until things took a relatively sensible shape again, at which point she lifted herself from the bedsheets and squinted at Victor confusedly. “Rules?”

“Yeah. Like the ones we have for hunting. Same applies when you’re in the big city.” he went on to explain. “Our contractors are nobles - the Prince in fact. The way we conduct ourselves has to be a bit more… “in line” then when in the wild. You follow?” he paused his unpacking, waiting for a response.

Adrian continued to stare at Victor. There was a pause, then a slow “Yes.”

“You have no idea what I’m talking about, do you?” he stared back at her.

Adrian picked at a loose thread on the bedsheets’ embroidery in a sullen silence.

“Just… behave, yes?” Victor sighed defeatedly, clapping his hands together once. “Now come on, we have to go or we'll be late.”

“So soon?” Adrian grimaced and slid off the bed, grabbing the bandana. “Okay. But no more…” she gestured out, vaguely, towards the window. Victor just snorted bemusedly and went downstairs to check the city map.

The route to central District was fairly uneventful; even without a map it was simple enough to navigate yourself towards the middle of Heston. Here the bustle of the city diminished into large, opulent houses with beautiful gardens. Adrian had dared to take the mask off by then, and though the new experiences set her on edge there was nothing too severe in the centre that could make her feel physically overwhelmed. The difficulty lay in finding the right building to enter, but that was in and of itself a simple affair since there were guards patrolling every street. They were not the first, nor the last to walk in.

The room was pleasantly decorated despite its vast emptiness. Whilst Victor listened attentively to Roman's briefing, Adrian's gaze kept wandering around the room to take in the many complexities of the ornaments - and of the other people gathered around her. When a lull in the speech finally came around, it was enough to draw Adrian's attention back in time for the court's mage to come out of an adjacent door. Victor snatched a stern glance at Adrian but softened upon seeing that she was up to her usual pastime of staring at strangers, so whilst he listened to the words, Adrian focused on other things.

When Roman finished his spiel, Adrian glanced up at Victor, who glanced down at her. The pair exchanged glances again. Victor inclined his head towards Roman and Adrian cleared her throat. “In the…” she paused and Victor made a cough that sounded eerily like 'letter’, “...letter, you said people disappeared slowly. Not at same time.” Her voice was strongly accented, and raspy. “Did you check for pattern? Did you do anything outside of district, before sending people in?”
Double post.
As a cantrip, is she able to add that to her current list of spells? Also, how will you handle the use of equipment, given Victor will need to prepare before setting out? How many things can we bring?
@Lord Orgasmo can Adrian detect magic? Are there any side effects of being in the First World for so long? I was under the assumption she's able to sense magic like many Spellcasters but since you're using an established system I thought I'd check
