"Make an ugly character."

Challenge: IMPOSSIBLE.

Truly, there's something in the water. gonna blow off his jaw

@ERode

Honestly knowing Nocturnia, if someone had their jaw blown off they'd just come back looking like this.


Truly we are cursed to endure quality aesthetics.

Valencia Nocturnal

Valencia Nocturnal

38 | She/her | The Mayor/???

Description: Valencia has proudly served the people of Nocturnia for the past fifteen years. It's an exceptionally long tenure that the majority of people don't mind seeing continue. She has done a lot of good since becoming mayor. For one, she cut out the majority of corruption in the council, dismissing all and jailing some of the previous council members. She also corrected and increased funding for the Nocturnia Police, making them more effective.

Whenever there is an election, she always seems to win by a landslide. There's no evidence of foul play, but you're always going to have conspiracy theorists cooking up crack theories like how she is being funded, and that funding goes into her love bomb campaign that makes the people vote for her. Or maybe they fudge the number in the back. Who knows?

It's a well known fact that the Mayor is good friends with the CEO of Noc Noc Burger, Soylent Green. She is also amiable with Commissioner Franchesca, always ensuring she has everything she needs to succeed. What is less known, however, is that she is also on good terms with Otto Bondar.

Gyft: ???

[LanaStorm]

So what district does the Noc Noc mayor own?

[Estylwen]

@LanaStormOh sorry, i should have included that the Mayor's office is in Jeweled Bank, but she doesn't own a district herself. :>

Alastor Dominique

Alastor Dominique

28 | He/him | The Eye/Mafia

Description: Alastor grew up on the streets, brawling with the other kids and snatching purses to survive. There was a particularly bad fight he got into that involved a knife. It cut his face, and he reeled back in shock. At that moment, he was filled with a burning desire to never let something like that happen again. In the next moment, his gyft manifested, and he could see where the next attack was going to land. He dodged, landed a final blow, and was victorious.

Soon, feats of his fighting skills reached the Dark Aces, and he was recruited off the streets. Ezra gave him a proper home, a proper education, and proper training. He turned the aimless youth into a steel blade, filled with precision and direction.

Alastor proved he had a mind of his own, much to Ezra's great pleasure. Alastor was also incredibly devoted, and he earned himself higher ranks, eventually taking on the title of Underboss.

Gyft: Causality Vision

He is able to see the future trajectories like yellow filaments of light in his vision. As he watches a person, he can see where they're going to walk and how before it actually happens. He is able to see about thirty seconds into the future. This allows him to dodge bullets before they are shot, and land a blow where a person ends up, instead of falling for a feint or misdirection.

The most major weakness to his causality vision is that he cannot see in 360 degrees. He is still able to be surprised if there is an attack that catches him from behind. Also, if an attack is too large to outrun or outmaneuver, there isn't a lot he can do for that either.

[Estylwen]

New post is uuup! Lana, Vincent is a little tied up, so i hope to do a scene with you afterward, if that's alright. Actually, scratch that. I got a better idea. I'll try to make something for ya tomorrow or the day after. ^^

I think I have collabs to do with Savant, Yankee, Sporko, and flux. If anyone wants to do collabs, let me know! Let's start on these as soon as possible. :>

[The Savant]

@Estylwen We will definitely have to collab more of the Elara scene and Ayla situation.

[Estylwen]

@The Savant Yes please! Feel free to write up an intro in the collab doc and tag me. :D

[SporkoBug]

HHhh love the post! I'm up for more Collabs of course ahaha.

[The Savant]

@The Savant Yes please! Feel free to write up an intro in the collab doc and tag me. :D

@Estylwen

Will do that tomorrow. Definitely. Remind me if I forget.

[ERode]

Mmm, busy times indeed.

@flux How did you want to handle the whole 'finding the kiddo' thing anyhow? Did you want me to go through a whole little side quest for it, or should it be a pretty quick deal?

@Yankee Guessing it'd be fair to presume that it'd be next round (or the round after) that Adel contacts Matthias about anything spicy?

[Qia]

Oh good someone for Bella. Jk jk there are way too many hot people in this

@Qia

I'd like to rephrase this. "Oh good someone for Bella to fucking kill." There we go.

[The Savant]

@Qia
