I'll generally try to keep the character lists alphabetized. # PCs ## Angelina la Morelle (Starlight) *Keep in mind that I won't list all her goals here.* -- Midna ### Important Facts (Don't worry, I'll try to keep this short...) * Teetering on the edge of defecting to the Court of Mirrors. ICly, she's not sure that she hasn't. * Capable of some degree of prognostication. * High investment in Specchio, which means she has unique and potent abilities, but is even more psychologically unstable than she would be otherwise. * (OOC?) Some degree of investment in Lacrima. * _Tends to be **really fucking cagey** about certain issues._ ### Loose Ends ### Todo * [ ] Talk to the Hunters :::spoiler Resolved * [x] Grill Anna about her family, the invitations, and what Gears is ("This is important to our investigation.") * If Angie's lucky, Anna will be able to filch one...or point her in the direction of one she or Damien can 'acquire'. * [x] Learn "Twenty Faces" from Allie ::: ## Allie Martin (Crash) ### Loose Ends ### Todo ## Damien Foel (Dante) ### Loose Ends ### Todo # NPCs ## Anna Grey A ~~cute mage-dork~~ witch-in-training, seemingly with some form of ties to the Limen Foundation?... Has a distinct interest in Cryptids. Capable of detecting magic cast on her. **Head of the Occult club.** ### Loose Ends * [ ] What the hell is she doing with the (realspace) Tower? * [ ] Who is she reporting to? * [ ] What is her father's involvement with the Limen Foundation? :::spoiler Resolved * [x] *What is "Gears"?* * **A solid answer to this will fulfill Mystery #8 - "Name a monster *not* of the Darkness."** * He's a 'cryptid', a being who saw, and was twisted by, the Tower. ::: ## Erabel Bishop A Princess of Mirrors, split in twain. ### Loose Ends ### Todo * [ ] (Angelina) Meet her, personally. ## Snow The last of Angelina's surviving (former) teammates; previously a Champion of Swords, she has since defected to the Court of Storms. Blatantly obvious love interest for Angelina. ### Important Notes * (OOC) Has a Gaolenu (arm) graft. * Quite possibly able to *CREAM* the party in a fight. It's kind of Storms' thing. ### Loose Ends * [ ] (Angelina) "What's going on with that one arm of yours?" * [ ] (Angelina) "Who are you working with / Who's offering you resources, support, and housing?" ## Shadow Broker, The Currently (*actually*) deceased. ### Important Facts * Only has one Umbra, but has a host of (potentially nasty) Caligines. Largely a non-threat if alone, but he calls adds (Darkspawn) if he can. ### Loose Ends * [ ] Who is the Shadow Broker's benefactor? * **Answering this will fulfill Mystery #4 - "Who is the Shadow Broker's benefactor?"** :::spoiler Resolved * [x] What, precisely, is that credit card of his connected to? Who issued it? (Is it usable?) * It's a credit card that essentially 'spends' social contacts as currency... It's usable, but infrequently. ::: ### Todo :::spoiler Resolved * [x] **Find his phylactery (heart) and destroy it.** ::: # Organizations ## Circus (What's the actual name of this place?) ### Important Facts * Run by the Carrum Brothers. * Paid to come to Blackwell, likely for some form of 'supernatural cleanup'. * This is a front for a supernatural auction, which occurs after dark. * Only around for a couple of weeks, total. * **LOADS** of rich people; entry is invitation-only, and most come masked. (*At this point, Angelina/Starlight might not.*) ### Loose Ends * [x] What do the Carrum Brothers really want? * They're there on behalf of the Limen Foundation. * One of them wants to make some form of ***very specific, very expensive purchase.*** Worrisome. ### Todo * [x] (Angelina) Get an invitation to the auction - by legitimate means or otherwise. * [x] Investigate the auction... ## Limen Foundation ### Important Facts * Owns *a lot* of the city. * Finances don't square up. * Organizing and/or bankrolling the Slums Beautification Project. * This is a cover-up - an excuse to turn the slums upside-down in an attempt to find some form of artifact. ### Loose Ends * [ ] What, *specifically,* are they looking for?
