Reorganizing. . .

Fate/Lost Epoch

Tentative interest from me, I might be ready to try a Fate RP again. I have ideas for... a Berserker/Avenger/maaaaybe Caster. Berserker first choice I think. And of course I'm happy to also play a master.

A Game of Desire

A Participant

Heather Jepsen

Age: 28

Former Occupation: Court Stenographer

Personality: Heather liked to think she was a normal, well-adjusted person before all this. She had no problems talking to people - introducing herself, consoling others, sticking up for people or speaking her mind, none of that phased her. Heather was very close with her younger sister, and when she disappeared it deeply affected Heather. She grew a little more withdrawn, a little more cold, a little more pessimistic. When she wasn't needed at her job her mind was filled with a singular purpose, sometimes leading to her spacing out in conversations.

Desire: To find her sister, nothing else.

Class: Totem

Effigy Emblem: Heather's emblem takes the form of a curled earring. It's permanently affixed to her ear, but losing the entire ear is a good way to separate her from it. The head of the earring sometimes transmits whispers from her sponsor. The emblem grants her the manifestation of her desire to seek out someone - her eyes can see through things. Physical things like doors, walls, and even people are no problem. With some effort, it also allows her to see through more complex things: lies, puzzles, even into dreams. For the immaterial things, the more something is hidden in the psyche the harder it is for Heather to "look" at it, and the more strain it puts on her eyes and brain.

Bio: Heather and his family grew up on the East Coast. Like all families they had their ups and downs, good times and hard times, but for the most part they were a typical family. Heather had always been studious and detail-oriented, good at absorbing and remembering information. Boring things like note taking didn't bother her, and eventually she took a job at the local court house as a stenographer. Things were going well.

Then, the community and Jepsen family were rocked by the disappearance of Laney, Heather's then 14 year old sister. Laney vanished without a trace. She wasn't the type to up and run away, but there were no clues whatsoever about her disappearance. Did she really run away, or was she kidnapped? Was she lost and still alive, or was she lying dead somewhere? Months passed and the answers to these questions never came.

The loss of Laney drove Heather and her parents into a depression that's lasted since then. Heather withdrew from her friends and family, spending all her extra money on hiring private investigators, bribing cops and criminals alike to help out, and offering rewards for any information about her sister. She was still searching when an otherworldly being approached her with a promise.

A Sponsor

Devoted Paramour

Personality:
One who delights in the giving of gifts and knowledge, yet one who also expects to be reciprocated. The Devoted Paramour is one that solemnly flirts with those on the other side of reality, finding the Mortal existence to be a charming one. They can easily become enamored, in a sense, with secretly influencing the lives of other beings. To Give fills them with great joy, but to Take leads The Devoted Paramour to an even greater pleasure. When they can no longer Take from a being, they feel extreme anguish and quickly seek out the next being they can Give to. All in all, The Paramour holds little regard for other Sponsors and though they do not stray from the flock whatsoever, they are primarily concerned with their own games... though The Game soon to begin will be their ultimate expression of "love."

Specialty: Totem Class Participants

Participant: to be decided

Like I mentioned before, I'm fine with pairing my own sponsor and participant together or sponsoring someone else

Forsaken

Agreed! I very much like everyone's characters and I can see some initial conflict becoming sort of a tight knit group.

@Sleip glad to see you back!

maybe this is too much but I'd like to gm a pokemon tabletop rp...

@Yankee it is! Whoops forgot to link it haha. Yay! I'm excited!

@vaguely

No worries! It's gonna take me a bit to read through the whole thing but so far I like the system.

Hi, I may be interested! I play Pokemon Tabletop Adventures very, very often so I'm more than comfortable doing a tabletop Pokemon. I haven't seen this system you mentioned but I assume it's this?

I'm going to give the system a read through right now! Your rough plot concepts seem really fun.

^{❀ Spring 1 • Year 1 ❀}
_{Location: General Store}

---

After the rough wake-up call, the chime of the general store's doorbell and the soft music inside was quite nearly the most pleasant sounds Xavier had ever heard. He breathed in the various scents of produce and smiled lightly. At the counter the store's proprietor, the pink-haired Luna, was standing. Upon seeing her, Xavier's smile wavered just a bit. He wasn't very familiar with her, but after the few times he'd been in the store before he'd learned that she wasn't... the most friendly inhabitant of their little village. Still, she was the owner and there was no need to get on her bad side - not that Xavier wasn't a perfectly polite person either way. He gave Luna a small wave and quickly moved on.

Scooping up all the basics he needed for home - milk, eggs, bread, the like - Xavier moved on to the produce. He picked a couple of items up and tossed them in the cart before heading to the baskets of apples. He had a vague idea of what he wanted to do... maybe some turnovers or a pie... lost in thoughts, Xavier reached to pick up the nearest apple but his hand brushed something unusual. Upon closer inspection, his dark skin was tinted darker by...

"...soot?" Xavier brought his hand close to his face and gave it an experimental sniff. Indeed, it smelled like burning residue. Blegh. He glanced briefly around for something to clean his hand with, not wanting to wipe it on his nice spring outfit, when the black powder had a certain effect on him.

"...ah... ohno-achoo!" Like any good medical practitioner, Xavier brought his arm around to cover his face as he sneezed, but it was still enough to scatter more of the soot around the area. Those poor fruits and veggies! Nothing a little rinse couldn't fix, but the soot, though thin, was all over the floor and other shelves now too. How did this get here in the first place? he briefly wondered. Some local playing a prank perhaps? Either way, this wasn't really the time to speculate - he'd better let Luna know before she found out herself and possibly blamed him. Hell, she still might.

"I - I'm sorry, there was - there's ash and soot all over here," Xavier sheepishly informed the shop keep. He stepped away from the area but not before shoving a few of the sooty apples into his own basket to show poor Luna she wouldn't be losing a sale.
