    Well... Those characters fell through. Ah well. IC and CS up this evening, gents; I guess we'll start small and add more characters as needed.

    Hello to all of you! I'm le petit amant, and I'm new here. But I'm going to try my hand at applying anyway.

    I'm just going to throw this up here first. I'll edit my post later with the finished character skeleton.





    Name: Esther Brandt

    Age: Twenty six

    Gender: Female

    Inventory: Three shillings, a few pence, some rouge and a crude, thumb sized dagger

    Faction/Back story: Harlot, and a former Noble
    Esther was born into a wealthy family who was among the landed aristocracy in England at the time. As the eldest daughter in an influential family, she received an extensive education all throughout her adolescence. Despite her parents' best efforts to steer her towards singing and arts, she excelled in particular at fencing from a young age. As she grew, so too did her greediness and hunger. Her tastes were eclectic, but decidedly expensive. Illegitimate children of nobility, mistresses of the members of parliament and the like. Her dream is to one day sample the flesh of a king.

    One day, however, her family's position fell into a rather precarious state when a scandal involving her father had resulted in his expulsion from the Cabinet. Sensing weakness, the nouveau riche swarmed her family like buzzards, completely devouring them and having risen to a new found aristocratic class themselves.

    Esther was lucky to survive, really. However, she was too ambitious and greedy to have been content with being riffraff for long. She now works for Madame Delisle in one of the most infamous brothels in London's red light district. She's highly sought after, which appeases the ego that she still retains from having been born into aristocracy. She has had to be reminded once or twice to stop eating all their clients; little has changed about her insatiable appetite.

    Her goal now is to regain the power and influence that she lost.

    Powers: Esther's voracious appetite has rendered her blood acidic. It was a nasty surprise for the family physician who first discovered it, and had come away with corroded stumps for fingers afterward. The more people she consumes, the stronger its corrosive properties, though she seems quite immune to its effects.

    I'm here!

    Sorry, it took me longer than I thought to really get settled in. I'll peruse the IC and make a post either tonight or earlyish tomorrow.

    Oh, perhaps not. I'm unsure; I only read Guru's post about putting an IC up, so I assumed that it was up. :P
