they even both have this face.

[infestedcouncilpresident]

AND they both have extensive experience with being pursued by guys they don't want to date.

Player Info
Handle: Izzy
Contact: kaosblaze | Discord: Izzy#6915

Character Info
Name: Isabella d'Oro
Age: 25
Species: Dragonkin/Bonded (with a demonically possessed book)

Setting: 13th Age, The Dragon Empire. Classic D&D style fantasy world with a growing magitek industry, and a 13-way tug of war for the fate of its population.

Background/History: Izzy is a minor celebrity chef and self-taught alchemist from the coastal metropolis of Concord, who was conscripted against her will into a heist of a set of enchanted gems with world-redefining powers. For months, she was jerked around the world, through the Overworld and the Nine Hells, running from pursuers and trying to stop a wannabe god from achieving apotheosis. Standard adventurer fare, really.

She's prickly and arrogant, though her time with her party and the scenarios she's been dragged through have softened her up.

CR Wishes: Since I'm thinking that Izzy's going to be taken from post-campaign, she's going to be very annoyed that she's being forced into an adventure-like situation without her consent... again. While she'll be looking to establish some kind of shop again, I'd love for her to meet with anybody and everybody! Science-y people to collaborate and share knowledge with, clashes of personality for some of that delicious CR, people that might remind her of home. Anything goes.

Misc. izzy is a lightweight.

Aw come on she's not that scary, she objects, putting metal through her face in new and interesting ways.

Character Info
Name: Altria Vivian
Age: 8.5 sweeps, i.e. around 19 human years
Species: Troll

Setting
Altria is a member of the troll species from the extremely hostile planet of Alternia, where all the adults are taken to fight in the space war once they're a certain age. The children are forced to fend for themselves in a free-for-all society dominated by an oppressive caste system, survive comically deadly flora and fauna, and live in a world ruled by hormone-addled teenagers with four romance systems to keep track of. Fortunately, Altria managed to escape from this hellhole. Unfortunately, this meant getting isekai'd into a reality constructed by the game Sburb—for those of you familiar with Homestuck, this particular session had a few glitches that meant it didn't destroy the world—where she was also forced to navigate a stratified society dominated by postwar cultural prejudices on two different moons, survive comically deadly flora and fauna once again on five different planets... and deal with assorted magical bullshit such as time loops, demiurges, ravening hordes of undead, reality getting unwritten and rewritten over and over again, et cetera.

Background/History
Altria was hatched and raised as a lower-class bronzeblood in a fortress town called Lawclaw on the border of a vast swath of ancient ruins where a swarm of undead, known as blackbloods, lurked. Designated the descendant of the legendary hero The Marshall (the jades who assigned the position unaware that she was the actual descendant of The Marshall, a.k.a. Avalia Hawken), Altria was tasked with upholding "his" legacy and to lead the town and "protect" the rest of the continent from the undead... while being fully, painfully aware that the blackbloods were really no threat at all to the rest of the planet. In reality, she and her comrades were made to fight and die just so the upper crust highbloods could place bets on who would survive each engagement and their overall killcounts.

Her grim fate changed when the rest of the town was frozen in time by a mysterious burgundyblood named Sav. In order to save them, Altria had to play a game called Sburb, transporting herself and the rest of the town into the world of the game in conjunction with several other players on both Alternia and the distant planet of Earth. Too much happened within the session to recount in detail, but as Altria grew closer with the once-antagonistic Sav, she and the rest of the players discovered an ancient, horrifying truth: the session wasn't only destined to fail, but already had hundreds of times over, reset again and again by plucking different humans and trolls from their various worlds before at the very last second a gargantuan swarm of the very same undead that Altria had been fighting her entire life would emerge to wipe the slate clean for it to happen all over again. This purge was led by the future version of Sav, who at this point Altria was deeply in love with.

Determined to defy fate, Altria, the other players, and the connections they all made along the way managed to stop the blackbloods, save Sav, and finish the game. Rather than creating a new universe like it was originally intended to, though, they refused to leave behind all the work they put into improving the world of the game, living within Sburb as the conclusion to their stories... except for Altria, who decided to search for Sav throughout the multiverse when she vanished after she was saved during the final confrontation.

Misc.
First off, Altria is a trans woman, and this is an important part of her character that's likely to come up during game since the godly body that gave her magical HRT is getting nerfed (along with its other abilities, such as agelessness, pseudo-immortality, flight, etc.). Another important note is that Altria is a tabletop OC made for a Homestuck-themed tabletop game, and that influenced a lot of how her canon played out. Also, in case it wasn't obvious, this icon is super temporary and will be replaced as soon as I can commission a set of 15.

CR Wishes
Any other characters who had to deal with oppressive legacies growing up, or were otherwise thrust into the role of being a "hero" and that defining their entire life. Anybody from Earth with a passing knowledge of Arthuriana, since one of Altria's powers that is getting nerfed but she'll probably complain about not having was "becoming the embodiment of the legend of King Arthur," which she gained by framing her life as a narrative that would naturally include a character like her getting a legendary sword and using her possibility-based psionics to condense all possible versions of the legendary swords she could've wielded into the sword emblematic of legendary swords, Excalibur. This is just a small sampling of the kind of crazy bullshit Altria got up to in the game. Beyond that, I would really love anything with anyone.

[altriana]

I'm curious, would she have any advice for somebody who has just become immortal and ageless? It's something Altria has been trying very hard not to think about (and fucking off to explore the multiverse and find her girlfriend is a consequence of her avoiding it), and having some advice on that sort of perspective could really help her out.

[altriana]

Altria is going to be looking into reforging her old gunblade since she's losing the ability to manifest Excalibur once she arrives, and while she's skilled in maintaining the weapons and crafting bullets, she's never actually had to build one wholesale before. Maybe Colerus could help?

[altriana]

In addition to being a tiefling lookalike (similar to Auditi), Altria might come to Sincerity for romance advice since she has panquadrant (i.e. normal human romance) feelings for somebody who she admits is probably bad for her but she can't stop loving her... and also maybe annoy Auditi a little bit because a major factor is that Altria is a young ageless immortal and Sav is an old, old, old ancient immortal.

[passionade]

She would definitely try!

But she actually would completely not relate to feeling tied down to a life. She's always been what she is and always been guided by her preternatural purpose.

So it would probably be very unhelpful advice, but she'd try 8')

[altriana]

At least she can try, that's less than Altria has currently since all the rest of the older immortals where she from are either batshit crazy from hiding out on a meteor for countless resets or recovering from being an undead thrall. Better than what she'd get otherwise :')

How many of her living weapon powers is Passion going to have when she drops into Restoria, if you don't mind me asking?

[altriana]

One, potential Gender Feelings buddies with Kohaku since Altria's a trans woman, two, Altria coming into Restoria would be un-Ship of Theseus'ing herself after a series of events that left her physical body more of a manifestation of hope and the legend of King Arthur than an actual, you know, body, and since coming to Restoria would undo a lot of that she could have Talks with King potentially.

[passionade]

NOT A LOT. She's most powerful as the sword in the hands of her wielder, who isn't... coming on this adventure.

So she's kind of just a mid-level magical girl in this form. She has a lot of durability/speed/strength because she's not human. I'm contemplating if I want to give her maybe a couple small spells (thinking like Sailor Venus style heart attacks) or if I just want to leave her without magic attacks entirely unless she's with the wielder.

[altriana]

sweats in "isekai" hero who caused major structural upheaval and started one revolution then majorly contributed to another

vel and altria could definitely have a time

[piercinggaze]

Despite meeting her in the middle of getting isekai'd, there's a good chance that Auditi just... straight up won't believe a lot of what Altria might tell her about her past. Isn't it funny how imaginative lowbloods can be! (No Auditi, stop.)

[passionade]

Very pink, lots of sparkles. 😘

[passionade]

I have not played with Madsen since Promenade......

[altriana]

Altria is pretty... close would be a strong word since they have a contentious relationship, but she's well-acquainted with someone in a situation very similar to Ivy's but the exact opposite attitude about the whole thing, which could make for some interesting CR if Altria assumes that Ivy is secretly doom and gloom like Lara and she's just hiding it. Also Altria runs on as little sleep as possible and she can probably keep her company through the night.

[altriana]

will it change her mind once altria starts bleeding the text of the vulgate cycle instead of blood

[passionade]

Ah yes, just the type that my lawful good magical girl sword will not get along with uhuhhuhuh 🤓

[altriana]

trans of gender sword havers solidarity?

Altria also has a... way more complicated relationship with the legacy of her own "father" figure and especially the sword she left behind for her, so that could be some interesting dynamics there.

[altriana]

hey newly christened ageless immortal who just got done dealing with a Bunch Of Fuckshit here would xama be down to help her deal with Problems and Issues

[eyesights]

Neat! Nikola would definitely inwardly sweat at having to find a way to communicate effectively with hi, but I absolutely see the potential. She can be a bit bad at expressing herself so even more hilarity there.

[gescildan]

God that's so mood. I feel you. Vel's based on a very very ancient Ragnarok Online fan OC of mine and she just has the look and vibe I had for her that I got hit with nostalgia when I saw the fan art start rolling in haha.

And that's good to know! I'm curious to see where it leads now.

[gescildan]

I vote purple too. Also shocking.

Purple 2, Blue 0

[gescildan]

Ruh-roh.

For real though, Vel is pretty cordial to everyone so I don't think they'll have trouble here. She's mature enough to know they're all in this place together, so try to get along.
