Slowly, Futility rises from the ashes. Very soon, I hope, we'll be able to wrap up this next round of scenes, but that's like 3-4 posts out at least. The hustle does not stop.

Another batch of relations written. As always, let me know what you think, if you'd like things to change, or if you had a better idea. These were two that I struggled with.



Oh, and one more thing. Tatiana had the option to bring along three pupils with her in her journey to the Black Glacier when she first attempted to subjugate a demon. I still have little idea who she might have brought along and who would have been willing, so let me know if you're interested in doing that with your character.
Name: Mother Tatiana (Thana) Leviatan

Age: 19

Height/Weight: 5โ€™4โ€ // 126 lbs

Race: Tatiana was said to have descended from a Tโ€™saeren immigrants to Lanostre, but that was all too many generations ago. For simplicityโ€™s sake, she calls herself Lanostran.

Appearance:

Just glancing at Tatiana is enough to catch the general vibe she gives off. The girlโ€™s posture is loose and relaxed, and she generally takes on a curved stance in some way, be it slumping over in a chair or cocking her hip to one side whilst upright. Either way, it is relatively uncommon to see Tatiana in that fully ready โ€˜at attentionโ€™ stance that one might expect of an inquisitor, lest such formalities were required. Despite this lax display, though, Tatiana tends to her appearance quite a bit. Her skin is rather fair, commonly enough for such a diluted bloodline in the Varyan expanse. Tatiana is visibly much less than one might expect in terms of a warriorโ€™s body. She maintains a slim figure, with spindly limbs.

What appears even more readily presentable is Tatianaโ€™s rounded visage and variable hairstyle. Her jet black locks curve to perfectly frame around her face, but otherwise maintain a straightened length falling just down to her shoulders. While it isnโ€™t uncommon for Tatiana to allow her hair to be kept in such a straight and simple style, she is also known to tie her hair up in an updo, offering a much more practical look when it comes to trekking through plains of ice. Her emerald eyes appear prominent, visible through even the fiercest blizzards.

It isnโ€™t always that Tatiana wears her inquisitorโ€™s uniform, but even outside of such a regal outfit, Tatiana tends to dress herself quite elegantly. Often times, a plain white shirt, flaring slightly out at its end meets a pair of blue pants trimmed with a gold lining. Tatiana matches such an outfit with an officerโ€™s coat of a similar blue and gold. She holds the article in rather high regard, under the impression its a sort of heirloom that her family has had for all too long now.

Personality:
Despite the strange circumstances that led to her becoming a priestess, Tatiana is rather gracious for her position- at least, it appears that way externally. She is friendly to all her fellow inquisitors, but it isnโ€™t difficult to see that there is something off about her when it comes to actual operations. Outside of heavy mission sort of scenarios, Tatiana is much more light-hearted. It isnโ€™t uncommon that she would throw around witty remarks and jokes despite the context of the situation. Of all the inquisitors, Tatiana may be viewed as one of the least matured. This extends even to her position as an ordained priest. She tends to view her position rather unseriously, despite the serious duty that her work encompasses. Even with this attitude, Tatiana rarely leaves her duties unaccomplished or sloppily done, but a certain hesitation accompanies her all too often, especially when she is tasked with carrying out Varyaโ€™s will.

Deep down, Tatiana has always struggled with her devotion to Varya. While she doesnโ€™t dare dissent, she isnโ€™t fully accepting of his conqueror practices. It is especially conflicting for her as she never fully accepted the ideals that her Lanostran homeland embodied either. This dissonance in her mind leaves Tatiana quite conflicted, and she thus views herself as something of an outcast and her outgoing practices act as her struggling to find a place for her in the companionship she forges. In the eyes of the public, Tatiana is often considered a very generous, moral, and people-minded person. This is juxtaposed by her abilities, however, leaving a certain air of concern exhibited by those in her presence. Strangely enough, while Tatiana is rather uninhibited socially, this can be turned down a notch when she finds herself away from her squad. She has grown far more comfortable with herself around her fellow inquisitors, but in public, things tend to be a slight bit different.

Background:
The young Thana (given the Varyan name of Tatiana) was born to a rather wealthy Lanostran family with parents emblematizing the epitome of duality. Her mother was a prominent Lanostran combatant, while her father was the perfect example of a man of science. It was the way of his family, and as such, he too, was also a journeyman in his field. Perpetuating the stereotype, Tatiana lived a rather pampered life with both her parents loving her greatly. There was more to the family than the lovely front than that, however.

Despite the boisterously prideful figure Tatianaโ€™s mother was, she came to openly accept the idea that Lanostre would bow willingly Varyan sovereignty. Perhaps it was because of the consequences of dissent or perhaps it was simply reciprocal respect for allowing Lanostran warriors like herself to rank highly in the military. As time went on, though, it became clear to a young Tatiana that what spurred her motherโ€™s subordination: fearโ€ฆ Thus, a false nationalism was born into the Leviatan family, which would inevitably lead to the coercion of Tatiana to pursue a profession as an inquisitor. Her feelings on the subject were rather mixed, but it seemed clear that she wasnโ€™t the soldier her mother was. Even despite this clear ineptitude, when Tatiana finally came of age, she was sent out into the glacial wastes to slay her own demon.

The perilous journey was extremely hard on the girl. Before she had even made the trek to the black glacier alongside her father, Tatiana was already worn to her last breath. While other Lanostran children had honed skills, it appeared Tatiana was no match. When finally facing down one of the alien-like creatures, Tatiana stood weakly against its might. Within a short minute, she was almost horribly rended by the beast, obviously outmatched. Her cries for assistance seemed to fall on deaf ears, however. For some reason, Tatianaโ€™s father held back despite his promises to rescue his child. It seemed just for the moment, he refused, intent on letting Tatiana fend for herself.

In that final moment, Tatiana felt herself falter. It was her end and there was nothing she could do. All that filled her panicking mind were rageful thoughts. How could her father have let this happen? As the creature tore forward in a final assault, Tatiana stopped herself, a moment of clarity rushing through her like an inventorโ€™s insight. One word came to mind: Stop.

And with that simple thought, it seemed that just for a moment Tatianaโ€™s inevitable fate was delayed. That single second delay was all Tatianaโ€™s father needed to step in. Pride emanating from his very being. This was the first moment Tatiana had finally learned of her talents with Ether, and what followed was a long conversation with his father about their ancestors: a very particular Tโ€™saeren research team. Having finally found the prodigious talent of his daughter, Tatianaโ€™s father devoted countless hours into raising his daughter as an inquisitor. He knew she may have the talents he witnessed in her trial at the Black Glacier, but he never told Tatiana what power she might have held.

The young woman was then nearly forced into her new lifestyle in the Red Seminary despite any reluctance. While she didnโ€™t leave that day with the title of R'heon, Tatiana came out knowing of her large ether pool. Only weeks passed before Tatiana was shipped off to the Red Seminary. Her life completely turned upside down.

Talents/Ethereal Abilities:

Demonic Summoner - Deep within Tatiana lies an extremely powerful pool of ether. The largely untapped potential within her seems focused wholly on one particular ability: the enslavement and domination of the demons of the Black Glacier. Before the discovery of such, Tatianaโ€™s time in the Red Seminary was just as she lived beforehand. A great deal of her time was spent trying to discover what abilities she held, but she was unsuccessful up until the point at which she was allowed to take the pilgrimage back to the Black Glacier. The extent of this ability is dizzyingly variable. The common principles shared by all summoners are the ability to command demonic entities at their will, and summon them to the summonerโ€™s location. This combination allows for the โ€˜capturingโ€™ of a demon in which a summoner wrests control from the demonโ€™s mind away from the creature itself.

Tatiana has found herself capable of enslaving one of these creatures to come at her beck and call so far. It appears alien-like, bearing massive curled horns and fur tufts in a seemingly patched randomly around its body. One might say its visage almost resembles a goatโ€™s, while its long tail resembles that of a rat. While unable to manipulate the world in nonphysical manners like other demons have the ability to do, Tatianaโ€™s beast has immense physical prowess when it comes to both power and speed. Because of this, Tatiana acts as something of a commander for her frontline fighter.


Symbiotic - Tatiana had spent a great deal of time in the Red Seminary believing herself to have no supernatural abilities. This almost got to the point where she felt useless in comparison to her comrades who each flourished in their own fields. This all changed when Tatiana discovered her excellence in working at the Black Glacier. Ever since her talent finally came to light, Tatiana has completely reworked her tactical abilities. In combat, it is often seen that Tatiana works almost flawlessly in conjunction with her summoned beasts, both her and the creatures working off of one another's strengths and weaknesses. One might even go as far as to compare them to symbiotic organisms.

Personal Seal:




Tatiana is finally moved to the character tab with some updated character relations. I haven't gotten to everyone, but to those I have finished, let me know if you'd like anything different. Other than the few that remain, the demon summoning needs a bit of work with Lovejoy, but then I'll be all good.
I like the idea. I'm interested.
@OppositionJ Hey! How are your character relationships coming along?


Just managed all the stuff for the people in the character tab. I can get anyone I missed soon enough. I'm working to fill in gaps about Tatiana's ether abilities now, so she'll be 100% ready.

@OppositionJ I think Hassan would probably get along great with Tatiana - they're the most casual of the inquisitors so far, and I think they'd have a lot to bond over with their mutual insecurities about their roles and their tendency to avoid people outside of the squad. I'd even go so far as to say he's probably have some (possibly unrequited) romantic attraction to her that he has a great deal of trouble with. I think it'd be a fun challenge to his character, seeing as how he struggles sometimes with interacting with people he can't simply command. Of course, that's only if you're comfortable with it, of course - if you don't like it, they can be just good friends.


I love the idea. I'm totally down with the implied romance and seeing how that would play out. Your idea works perfectly for me.

I'll try to get out some other blurbs of information on relations to other characters soon.
Juliet Fortuna



Haha! It was so easy. Juliet had become adept at the art of getting snacks from the Ringmaster. He really was a caring man. Above all else, he reminded Juliet of another man once in her life. Alas, not everyone was cursed with the strange longevity of those that held contracts. Even with a contract, the most recent combative mission left the carnies with the tough realization that they weren't as immortal as they thought. Juliet shook her head to the Ringmaster's offer, though it was more so that she just needed to get those thoughts out of her mind. This was no time regrets, sadness, worries. They had a job to do. A typical expression of stoicism fell over the Little Mystic's face.

Princeton, West Virginia... Juliet was at a complete loss for what Mister Magnus said after that. For the moment, she zoned out, her head filled with one confusing abstraction. Why was West Virginia so... East? The entire time the Ringmaster briefed the hunters on the scenario of their task, Juliet was all too busy trying to come up with excuses. She never did know much of the eastern lands. The whole time she spent with her father was out roaming the frontier, and after that she just followed the Ringmaster's guidance and never really paid much attention to the geography of where she was going. Perhaps one day she could finally sit down and learn the things these new century folks were learning in a school... Was she ever going to leave the Ringmaster's side? Juliet couldn't fathom the thought.

As her gaze rose back up to the conversing group, Juliet's eyes fell upon the rather ornate egg placed centered on Mister Magnus's teacart. Michael... He and Juliet were close- or at least closer than Juliet usually got with her fellow performers. It made it all the more difficult that when her brother in arms finally fell, there was nothing Juliet could do. She was supposed to be a guardian, yet when the time came it all seemed to be for nothing. The memories of the bloody battle flashed momentarily before the Little Mystic's eyes. She was pulled kicking and screaming from the battlefield, intent on not leaving Michael behind. The thoughts haunted her more than she realized, but Juliet had become quite adept at hiding her feelings- hiding the pain.

Without hesitation or exchanged words, Juliet turned from the Ringmaster's abode. She moved at a hasty pace towards the gates, allowing herself to enter one of the waiting vehicles. "It won't happen again." Juliet finally spoke up, though speaking to no one in particular. "I'll make sure of it..."
Phew. Sorry for the delay. I hope my blurb on summoning suffices. I figured we could perhaps develop some of the details further if the character was accepted.

@OppositionJ Here you go! Sorry for the wait!
The Black Glacier of Lanostre
-snip-


I like it! Yeah, I'll definitely try to make a cool summoner. The sheet should appear soon enough.
I'll definitely be getting a character sheet up soon.

@Lovejoy
I am tentatively curious in 'using ether to summon demons'. I love the idea, but as its more of an esoteric sort of use, I'd try not to go overboard with abilities. Is there any more information I could get on what demons are like in the RP's lore sense-- that is, if you don't mind me using this idea. If you'd rather I didn't I'm sure I could come up with something else.
