Looking for character to find out Maria's an Encantado
Posted: 23 Oct 2020, 03:12
Wow, title didn't quite fit.
This is a very specific request so I need to go over some details on what I'm looking for.
Maria is a Semi-deus, specifically encantado (snake/mermaid like ones). She's got a considerable curiosity for humanity and what she basically considers their sub-breed, vampires. While like many of her kind she does want sex, she regularly forgoes this desire because it could interfere with her curiosity. She wants to learn legitimately about humanity, the way they think, the way they act, feel, their culture, etc. Yes she knows enough to blend in...mostly. But it still feels to her like there's so much more she's missing.
Now onto the details:
I want someone to find out that Maria is an encantado, probably because she messed up. There are two routes to go with this. I'll go over the basics:
Maria tends to take her natural form in the forest and in the river which streches through harper rock. It's absolutely plausible that someone sees her come out, a scaled woman with a fish/snake like tail instead of legs just emerging from the river. Now some already know about Semi-deus and may have already even killed them if they go to the Caverns to the east of Bullwood. Regardless, seeing one shouldn't be a common thing without them being dangerous (such as the jorogomo event on grid in which a female jorogomo attacks I think, or how there's the Hebigumo foundation though I don't know if that's common knowledge). In response to being seen, Maria would naturally really try and convince them not to reveal what she was or, you know, try and kill her. As another possibility, there are severed heads found in the river at times, it's totally plausible one of those surprised her and she accidentally surfaced...holding a severed head. Which could worsen things for her and further make her panic.
There is an alternative to her being discovered. Such as he being noticed using a power she shouldn't have. And being followed or appraised or something. I just think the above works out better.
Now is where things split. Cause we have thrall, amicable, and foe.
Thrall: Only works if you feel like doing the forum account for a thrall. I don't have the thrall power yet. So this would take a little before it happens. Basically her utter fear at getting found out (cause look what happened to vampires, only she can't come back to life) would cause he to use whatever she could to keep them from telling short of actually killing them. And that could mean enchanting/enthralling them. She'd probably feel really bad about it, but might still use it to her advantage just because she wouldn't know what else to do.
Amicable relations: Whether this was immediate. Such as he actually succeeding, then and there, to convince them not to tell or attack, or it came after they ran off or something and only later coming to her. This would basically be that they know, but don't try and destroy her because of it. Could become friends, especially as it would means he could finally be fully open on what she was looking for. And while she might still want to keep things to herself, she'd be a whole lot more willing to tell if she were told things in turn. And of course the fact that they know already she isn't human or vampire. Existing almost entirely out of the domain most might be used to. Now for a human this might be a little harder to believe (depends on the human I imagine) but I imagine vampires would also have an extra issue with it, if they know about the Hebigumo foundation. Or semi-deus connection to fae. Even if it isn't direct, it might still concern them. I think this would be a fun thing to work on.
Not so amicable: Basically, she failed to convince them not to tell or attack. Now, convincing people of what she actually is wouldn't necessarily be easy. Unlike Vampires there isn't an easy tell-tale sign of what she is. Really the only way to know, is by using appraise or read memories, or actually seeing her use her powers. So only vampires or blood thieves could find out, so to most of humanity, she probably seems very human even under investigation. However, there are humans with blood thief powers that would let them appraise her to know she isn't normal. And vampires with appraise would likewise see that. So yes, they could spread word about her and there would be those who believed it. And that would still terrify her even if the general public didn't believe it. The character who sees her originally could also just attack her themselves, it's not like she's strong enough right now to fight most PC's. This probably has more grid actions than the above (though, in the above circumstance, there's a good chance she'd use Aid Ally on grid semi-regularly if she saw them and had the anima). But the grid actions are all up for whoever chooses.
This could be done on grid, on forum, discord, google docs. I am mostly open to the method of rp itself. Just as long as you're patient with me in anything done live lol. Likewise I'll be try to be patient for however it goes.
Anyway, you can contact me here, on PM, or on discord at Amicus#8495
