Across the Great Sea - A Witcher RP (OPEN / STILL IN INTRO STAGE)

@Fat Boy Kyle I went from unemployed to full time employee over the course of less than a week, so I've honestly been exhausted enough that I completely forgot about this, but I'm gonna try and get my next post up within the next couple of days.

Across the Great Sea - A Witcher RP (OPEN / STILL IN INTRO STAGE)

I'm looking for work while I take a pause from university. Actually waiting on a call from a possible employer at the moment, and if I get the job I'll be moving back home to my parents.

I should have my next post finished in the next couple of days.

Cristina

---

---

The increasingly loud patter of rain against the roof above Cristina drew her out of her thoughts and her book as she looked up at the small window with a frown. With every moment that passed it seemed as if though the rain was only growing worse, and venturing onto the rooftops that evening would pretty much be suicide. She hadn’t worked much lately and was growing antsy as a result, but thankfully the coin she’d stashed away was still not close to running out. She’d just have to find some other way to occupy her time.

She put away the book and made sure she’d all the equipment she’d be likely to need for the night before heading down the ladder to the rest of the house. The bow she left behind in her concealed storage area, and her hair she braided and pulled into a bun.

Though it consisted of two floors if one didn’t count the attic or the cellar, the house was fairly small and only the second floor actually looked lived in. It was also the most well-kept part of the house, and a clear sign of her landlords’ priorities. The lower floor was where he conducted business. To most of the public it was simply a rundown pawnshop, but to the thieves of the town it was the home and workplace of a fairly well-known fence. One had to be well-liked to survive very long as a fence in a city where criminals were as hunted as in Telchar, and Eski had been in the business longer than most in town. His greying hair and wrinkled skin told of that.

He was looking through one of his ledgers when she came downstairs and didn’t do more than throw her a quick glance before looking back down again. “Do you need my help with anything before I head out for the night?” she questioned as she approached the counter and pulled her hood up to cover her head. He looked up again and looked her over quickly before meeting her eyes.

“Not at the moment, no. Might want you to hide something when you get back, so wake me if I’m sleeping will you?” She raised her brow slightly but didn’t comment. Hiding contraband with magic was something she helped him with rather often, and it was rarely very difficult.

“Alright.” With nothing more to say Cristina made her way over to the door and out into the narrow alley. She didn’t see any people until she made her way out onto the bigger roads, and they were mostly keeping their heads low and hurrying on their way to get out of the rain as quickly as possible.

She kept up a brisk pace as she made her way further north through the commons, keeping her eyes down and avoiding any of the more well-populated streets. Cristina was only a few blocks away from the central district when she found the door she was looking for. Though it was the entrance to a bar no sign hung over the door, the only thing that marked it as anything out of the ordinary was the two glosseghar that’d been scratched into the door-frame. One that marked it as protected and the other two quen signs side by side, showing that both mages and creatures where welcome there. The door was unlocked most hours of the day, though drinks were only actually served during the late evening and night.

There was only one way to go once inside; downstairs into the basement, and Cristina made sure to close the door behind her before making her way downstairs. There where only a few people present, all but two deep in conversation with their companions. Of those two one was a larger man sitting by the bar; the bouncer whose work didn’t truly begin until the alcohol started flowing, and a lean brunette sitting off to the side of the room at one of the smaller tables.

She made her way over to the brunette who looked up as she approached. “Hello Cris. What brings you to Donnans’ today?” Cristina didn’t wait for any further invitation before sinking down into the chair across from the other woman, then threw a glance at the rest of the room before speaking up.

“Thought it was time to check in,” she stated as the two eyed one another. The cellar was only lit by candlelight, the few windows present along the walls having been boarded up since the bar opened, and one of those candles was placed on the wall just behind the other woman, casting her face in shadow and casting Cristina’s face in as good of a light as was possible in the room.

“Work’s been slow lately, has it?” the brunette questioned with a slight smile, causing Cristina to shrug and smile in return.

“That too.” The brunette’s smile bled away as she leaned back in her chair and looked Cristina over.

“Not many people who need or are even looking for help at the moment. Church’s no closer to finding any mages than they were last time we spoke, though there are a couple of businesses in the central and port districts who could use some illusion work if you’re up for it. Of course, the reason they need work done is because both the church and the guard have a higher presence there.” Cristina frowned as she leaned back.

“So there’s work to be done, but because it’s risky no one’s taken it yet.”

“That’s generally the case, yes.”

@Fat Boy Kyle Good to know you like it. I added another sign that warns for the Church/Warriors of Manannan & so the wiki entry is finished for now, but it's easy to add more signs if people think of any.

Glosseghar

Glosseghar n. watchword, watchwords.
Glosse v. to look, watch, stare.
Ghar n. word.

Rarely spoken of but often used, the glosseghar are an important tool for both the criminal and the mage underground of the Free City of Telchar. The word refers to a collection of signs that a number of factions make use of to notify others if a building is safe, houses a fence or anything of the like. These signs are specific to Telchar and have existed as long as organized crime in the city.

Since the formation of the Church of Manannan these signs have been used with far more caution so as to make sure that neither the church nor the city guard will be able to use them against the criminals. When the tough policies against mages and witchers came to be specific signs that concern mages and sentient creatures were created as the mage underground was born and started to use the glosseghar.

Glosseghar are most often carved in wood or etched in stone around doorways and windows, and are therefore designed to be simple to carve or etch. If the location only needs to be marked for a certain time or during certain times of day the signs are often drawn on with chalk or other substances that wash off easily. A fence who moves around a lot will likely draw a mark in chalk when they set up shop in the morning.

The signs that are specific for the mage underground and creatures are often more intricate as there’s usually a mage available to paint them with magic. If a mage is in residence the marks on the building may also be enchanted to only be seen during certain times or to easily be deactivated by certain phrases or touches from specific people.

Many signs exist in several variations that have somewhat different meanings, or mean the same thing and are meant to confuse anyone who know the glosseghar exist but who doesn’t know the specific meanings. Criminals also use symbols that don’t have a meaning to confuse and cast doubt.

For the purpose of the glosseghar “mage” includes anyone who can use magic.

Signs

Escape Route: This doorway/hatch/etc leads out of the city, city district or at the very least beyond the bounds that the guards in the area are likely to search in.
Fence: A fence lives and/or conducts business here. This sign also marks the place as protected.
Fence variant: A fence lives and/or conducts business here, and is likely to accept “hot” goods. This sign also marks the place as protected.
Protected: Any building marked with this sign is under the protection of some part of the criminal and/or mage underground. This might mean that they’re paying protection money to some part of the underground, but it might also mean that it’s the home of the head of a crime family. Steal or make trouble here, and finding a fence will be the least of your troubles.
Safe-house: This place should be safe to hide out in if you need to lay low.
Church: This place belongs to the church, or the Warriors of Manannan have a presence here. May also be used as a simple communication to watch out because there are reasons to believe that the church is active in the area.

Signs specific to the mage underground/creatures

It’s generally a bad idea to cause trouble in locations marked with any of the following, as chances are good the people who work/live there are at the very least involved with the criminal or mage underground.

Mage Friendly: The people who work and/or live here have nothing against mages of any kind and will not report any magic done on the premises to the authorities. They may also be willing to harbour fugitive mages, though this is less likely.
Mage Friendly variant: A mage works/lives here and may be willing to provide their services both for coin and to aid those in need.
Creature Friendly: Sentient creatures who does not cause harm to other sentient beings are welcome here and will not be reported to the authorities. They may also be willing to harbour one of the aforementioned if they were being hunted.
Variant 1: A sentient creature who does not cause harm to other sentient beings lives and/or works here, and will not report other creatures to the authorities. They may also be willing to harbour someone in need.
Variant 2: Same meaning as original creature friendly.
Mage & Creature Friendly: Both mages and creatures are welcome here and will not be reported to the authorities.
Variant: A mage and/or creature works/lives here, and neither kind will be reported. The mage/creature is likely willing to help their kind or at the very least sell their services.

I've also started writing up a small wiki entry for the mage underground. The way I've figured it the mage underground isn't so much an actual organisation, but instead it's a case of almost every mage who lives in the city knowing and helping each other.

I'm working on my first IC post at the moment, but it's going to take a while longer since I prioritised the glosseghar wiki entry.

@MrDidact@BlackSam3091 The way I figure it Fridolf is only likely to already know the signs if he's previously worked in the city, but if he hasn't he might be aware of someone he could talk to in order to learn them.

I've got more to write about the use of the signs, and I'm gonna work out specifics for the different mage/creature specific signs, but these are the ones I've come up with so far. If someone thinks of any other signs that would be useful let me know and I can add them.

Well, Cristina wouldn't get involved in either contract unless she literally happened upon any of the involved or got dragged into it, so I'm thinking about possible jobs she could be working on.

@Fat Boy Kyle The dialogue looks good for me too, makes it far easier to see when different people are speaking.

And I've come up with an idea for a wiki entry. I was thinking that the criminal underground would have some signs decided like the shadowmarks in TES: Skyrim, though specific to the City of Telchar. They could then also have signs that marked if an establishment was mage and/or creature friendly, which would be of great use in a city that's as hostile towards them as Telchar. It seems likely that there would also exist some kind of mage underground focused on helping each other remain undetected, and the existence of such marks would be a potential help for any witcher who turned up to investigate Jaspar's death in finding people willing to help them.

As I'm already thinking about it I would be more than happy to write up specifics for a wiki entry or two.

Coyote Hustle

@Rekaigan@GrizzTheMauler@Dealdric@Tybalt Capulet@Overlord Thraka

Aedre kept quiet as the guardian continued to speak, figuring she didn’t have much to add to the conversation, and instead watched the woman who had taken the shard – Yeva apparently – and her companion. She held the pistol she aimed at them with a steady grip, and given the way she hadn’t yet attacked or fled from the guardian despite his demeanour she likely had the skills to back up her confident stance. And the man certainly seemed to possess some sort of gift.

She was relieved when Yeva nodded and turned away, not wanting to linger any longer, and Aedre quickly followed as the other woman began to walk away. She looked over at Enigma when he spoke up again but didn’t offer any comment of her own for the time being, and then all of a sudden there were another couple of people walking up to them. Another two people from the bar, one of them the werelion who’d aided quite nicely in creating chaos amongst the patrons. But if the pirates were to turn up they’d be noticed in a moment with this many people, and the only place Enigma was likely to blend in was the city he’d been created in.

Smoke suddenly billowed up around them as she was watching the newcomers and hoping the guardian wasn’t going to pick another fight, and she only barely had time to see Yeva take off before she threw herself away from the smoke so as to inhale as little as possible. She pulled the staff close to her body as she rolled and got out of reach of the smoke, but hadn’t been able to avoid inhaling some of it and coughed violently for a few moments before getting back to her feet and looking at the group.

“Well, that’s certainly one way to get out of the situation,” she stated as she reached up to fix her hood that’d gotten slightly displaced in the tumble. With no idea of what exact direction Yeva had taken off in Aedre kept one eye on the strange group that had assembled and another on their surroundings as she considered how to proceed.

Cristina

Character Theme – Do They Dream
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cristina

Cristina is at 5’8 short for an Aen Elle, with the athletic figure of a climber and archer. She has light blue eyes and a very pale complexion, and her long white hair is generally braided and wrapped into a bun whenever she is out and about. She often uses soot, charcoal or other dyes to change the color of both her hair and skin.

Sharaes aep Auvioc (birthname), Cris (by friends & other criminals)

【Race】

Female

【Age】
138

【Sexuality】
Bisexual

【Birth Place】
Tir ná Lia

【Nation/Allegiance】
Neutral

【Profession】
Cat Burglar

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

【Personality】
Cristina is quiet, always watches what she says around strangers and keeps a wary eye on her surroundings. But she’s always willing to strike up a conversation and smiles easily. She’s always been inquisitive and enjoyed travelling, and her greatest fear is to be trapped in one place. She enjoys a challenging job, which is part of why she’s specialised as a cat burglar, and she’s always moving in some way. When she works it means she remains focused on the job and works quickly, easily keeping track of the world around her. When she’s not working she might come off as a little scatterbrained to people who aren’t very perceptive, as her eyes are always moving and the fingers on her right hand are always tapping on something; whether that’s her leg or something else varies.

The circumstances that forced her to flee her home has caused her to be far less trusting than she was as a child, and it takes a great deal of time for her to open up to people. However, once someone gains her trust there are few things she wouldn’t do for them.

She views killing and thieving roughly the same way, in that she has few compunctions about either. Though she won’t steal from a target who doesn’t have much money that has more to do with the smaller pay-off than anything else. Part of why she steals is because she enjoys the challenge and the rush, and it’s not as much fun when there isn’t some element of danger. It’s also a good way for her to collect more books. She generally avoids killing people as that attracts too much attention, but the only lines she won’t cross is that she doesn’t kill children.

If she can help someone and not be worse off for it, she generally will, but she wouldn’t risk her own life for a stranger. Like most Aen Elle she doesn’t consider other sentient races to be worth as much as her own people, but she doesn’t count anyone lesser than anyone else on the basis of their race or station. She generally feels contempt for people who judge others based on station or preconceived ideas, and thinks ignorance is just as bad as cruelty.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

【History】
The child of a smith and a soldier of the Dearg Ruadhri, Cristina grew up amongst the working middle class of Tir ná Lia. She was an active and inquisitive child who loved to explore the city, and when she wasn’t out and about she usually spent the time reading whatever she could get her hands on. Her mother and father both thought she should be proficient in at least one weapon no matter what profession she chose when she grew up, so they started teaching her the bow when she was a child.

As an adult she was trained to be a scout and a spy; to survive and blend in both in the wilds and in cities, mainly to gain access to other races territories and collect intelligence on them before the rest of the Aen Elle’s forces arrived to either barter with them or take the territory. The profession gained mixed reactions amongst her family and acquaintances, and then she made a bad call on an assignment and almost got a whole company of soldiers killed. Her life took a steep decline from there as she was demoted and got involved with a high-profile theft.

Though she was attempting to stop the thieves, she was convicted as one of them, and she was facing execution when her father and an old friend managed to break her out of prison. As remaining in Tir ná Lia would eventually get her caught, Cristina managed to get her hands on the location of a number of portals that would eventually aid her in escaping to the world which contains the City of Telchar.

She came through to the human world by a portal that had been submerged over time in the Bay of Sharks, and was luckily picked up by a fisherman from the Kingdom of Moorwind before she could drown. He helped her back to shore and aided her in figuring out where she’d ended up. She took up work as a hunter in the area to pay the fisherman for his help and a place to sleep while she got accustomed to the land and decided on what to do next. It was there that she picked the name Cristina for her own, leaving her old behind just in case of the slim possibility that someone might one day track her down.

After a few months in Cliffshire village she began her travels south and east through the kingdom, hunting and stealing depending on which was more profitable and gaining far more information about the land than she’d managed in the little village. When she heard about the state of affairs in the City of Telchar she quickly decided to travel there as it sounded like a good place to disappear in the crowd and build a new life for herself. Still, she took her time travelling there, and encountered a number of interesting persons and monsters on her way. She familiarised herself with the local flora and hunted down a couple of bandits that crossed her path and attempted to rob her by evading them and later doubling back to track them down. They had quite a bit of valuable loot that she took for herself, amongst other things the majority of the daggers that she now carries.

When she finally arrived in Telchar Cristina kept a low profile initially as she figured out who would be a good idea to steal from and where she could sell her stolen goods. While doing her recon she met an old fence who’d gotten himself addicted to fisstech and by chance she saved him from his dealer’s collectors when they came after him. In return he offered to introduce her to other thieves and fences in the city, and to rent her the small loft in his house. She took him up on his offer as he didn’t ask for much and was quite happy to get help to sell her stolen goods.

Cristina has lived in Telchar for a few years at this point and earns enough stealing that she doesn’t need to worry about money day-to-day.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

【Skills and Abilities】
Apprentice mage – She was born with the ability to use magic and has over time focused most on illusion and dispelling magic. With illusion she mainly changes her own appearance and conceals tracks, contraband and valuables in her home. Dispelling magic is mainly to uncover illusions of the like and to disarm magical traps and illusions others have cast. She also knows some simpler spells to take care of her own hygiene and other simple tasks that she was required to learn as a scout of the Aen Elle. For example spells that clean her own person, lights camp and hearth fires and casts light around her. Since arriving in Telchar she limits her magic use as much as possible so as not to be detected as a mage, and she has no experience with using magic in battle.

Adept archer – Her main weapon is the bow, and she’s been training with one ever since she was large enough to hold one. Despite this, she has rarely used her skills against humans or other sentient races, mainly having used her skills for hunting.

Trained as a Scout/Spy – She was trained to survive in unfamiliar and familiar environments with whatever supplies she could find, and to stay undetected while doing so. She’s best at climbing in city environments, has some training in fighting with daggers and without conventional weapons, and generally relies on her own cunning to survive.

Cat Burglar – As a cat burglar she traverses the roofs of the city on quick feet and slips in and out undetected on the higher levels of houses. She can open most locks with some time to work.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

【Weapons/Tools and Magic】
Weapons – Cristina carries an old wooden recurve bow and a stiletto she keeps in her boot made by her mother which she brought with her when she fled Tir ná Lia. She uses a back quiver for the arrows and also carries a dagger at her belt, as well as having between four and a dozen throwing daggers hidden in her clothing at any given time.

Clothes and Light Armor – She wears nondescript beige and brown clothing with a simple leather tabard and tall fingerless black leather gloves above them, as well as a pair of leather boots and a black hood. A thick belt around her waist holds several pouches and three dagger sheaths (two real and one fake to keep stolen goods) and another strap that goes diagonally over her chest and back over her right shoulder that holds a smaller false dagger sheath in the front and which she attaches her bow and quiver to.

Other Equipment – She always carries lock-picks, a few sticks of charcoal and a small notebook.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

【Other】
Dialogue colour: Fire Brick
She rents a small loft with only enough space for a low bed, a small hearth, a low bookcase and a couple of chests. One end of the loft is split off from the rest and functions as a storage space that she hides with illusion magic. The loft is accessible through a ladder from the upper floor of the house and through a small window next to the bed that is only just large enough for Cristina to get through without trouble and that she traps with magic when she sleeps. It’s situated in a part of the Commons that’s only just better than the shanty-town areas and lies near the south gate.

One end of the loft is split off from the rest and functions as a storage space that she hides with illusion magic. The loft is accessible through a ladder from the upper floor of the house and through a small window next to the bed that is only just large enough for Cristina to get through without trouble and that she traps with magic when she sleeps. It’s situated in a part of the Commons that’s only just better than the shanty-town areas and lies near the south gate.

Across the Great Sea - A Witcher RP (OPEN / STILL IN INTRO STAGE)

This rp looks like it could be a lot of fun, and I'm working on the CS for a female Aen Elle who fled Tir ná Lia some years ago. I'm just wondering one thing about the sheets. If you're writing a mage of some sorts, do you have to detail every single spell they can cast? How detailed do you want it to be?
