Mentioned here: 8 hours ago, The Known Novel said: 3 hours ago, EmulatonStromenkiin said: Valence smiled faintly. It was often amusing when people noticed his eyes. It tended to throw them for a loop. "Good afternoon, Commander Atadin. You requested to see me personally." His voice buzzed with a strange accent. "This is unusual for you, yes?" Quote He would still assume he's soulbound, it’s hard enough to see color from across a room, let alone shades of blue. Atadin pondered at the accent. Was this man from outside the Civilized Nations? Travelers were common enough in Coulforrin, back before Vithankre had taken power, though those from outside the Nations were always rare anywhere. People had been nervous for a while, and were just starting to trickle back in. "I like to meet the new recruits when I have the time, but unfortunately my schedule doesn't allow for it. Today I was already interviewing a recruit for the Investigative Squad, so I figured I could interview you as well." He lied with the ease and efficiency of a man that got his money from a government that kept its purse strings tight. "Now tell me," Atadin gestured to his own eyes, "how are you Bound?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to make another one if you want, we can figure out some way to tie it in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aspiring Archivist Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Quote Name: Myrto Magic and Skills: Not bound to anything, but grafted many times to the point of insanity. Good with a spear, one of which he keeps on his back at all times. Description: Short, jet-black hair, kaleidoscopic eyes as a result of the grafting. A former soldier. Personality: Normally friendly and helpful, but... well, you'll see. Goal: Currently, he's going around aimlessly with the mission of 'destroying the enemy.' However, he's not very stable, so this goal will likely be problematic. What do you think? I'll probably develop it a little more as we go along. @The Known Novel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Ajah Posted January 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Quote All good to me, how do you want to work him in? Do you want the Guard to bring him in, to search for him, or do you want to do something else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you can think of a better reason for why he'd be brought in there. Would your character be the kind of person who a guard would bring a troublemaker to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aspiring Archivist Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) 41 minutes ago, The Known Novel said: The black-haired man with wild eyes threw his cards down on the table. The man across from him laughed. "Not a very good hand, that?" "You cheated" Myrto said darkly. "Please, friend, people get unlucky. Come on, another hand." He reached for the bet on the table. In a flash, Myrto had grabbed that hand, digging his nails into flesh. The dealer pulled away with a cry of outrage. "What is wrong with you, man?" "You cheated." "I did no such thing!" "Oh, really?" Myrto grabbed the cards, spreading them out. He pointed at various unique markings on the backs of different cards. They would have been nearly impossible to notice for someone not experienced in card trickery. "Explain that." "I don't know what you're talking about." Without warning, Myrto upheaved the table, flipping it entirely and landing it on the man. As he scrambled out from beneath it, Myrto stabbed him in the hand with a spear. Quote Your guard can probably get involved at this point. Edit: Do you want to do that now, or wait until Emulaton Stormenkiin is back? We could probably have the chase and capture and stop after that, unless you're fine with interrupting that conversation. @The Known Novel Edited January 22, 2023 by The Aspiring Archivist 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channelknight Fadran Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Quote The idea is, in fact, to have people encounter her. Yes, she will get a name. I will reveal her details as we go along.

Quote Sorry, I have a window about once a day that I can post, though I try to respond as soon as possible. It varies, though. Sundays are often unavailable for me. Suggestion: have some form of oathbinding, it would be interesting, especially if it is not well known. "Interesting," Valence murmured quietly. This man was an experienced liar, it seemed. Though, aside from the professed preference to meeting new recruits personally, he did not believe he was lying. "I am what your people call Fleshbound. Have been for a while now. It was tradition among my people to bind in some way any who had twinned eyes, two-color eyes. My name is Valence Skywinder." @The Known Novel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, does Valence have any obvious signs of Grafting? "Hmm, yes. And who are your people? Judging from the accent, not one of the Civilized Nations?" There was no way that this man, Valence, was from one of the Nations, but it was best to get a truth and a lie to have something to base future interactions on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
