Kalliste

Introduction Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. What profit has a man from all of his labour in which he toils under the sun? One generation passes away, and another generation comes; but the Earth abides forever. The sun also rises and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it arose. The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the north; the wind whirls about continually and comes again on its circuit. All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; to the place from which the rivers come there they return again. Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. [ edit ] Stereotypes "How few there are of us that remain; how poorly are we remembered, become shadows of ourselves. Shall we go quietly into the night?" "Yours have fared no better than ours. There may be more of you, replenished by the dreams of mortality, but that well is running dry." "Some of your kind have done great things. Some of these things have also been terrible. Look to what was if you dare to know what should be." "Do not underestimate the day of small things. Though your lives are fleeting sparks, they burn both hot and bright. Try not to burn out too soon." "You want to claim responsibility for the creation of all that is? All right, then; whose brilliant idea was entropy? The center will not hold." "You are losing your humanity, one delicious drop of blood at a time. When all that remains of that is gone, whatever shall be left?" "The world is cycling out of control. You think this spells the end, but doomspeakers have been calling for the end since the beginning. " "Pain, madness; sorrow, sadness. What has you trapped on the wrong side of the river? Did you forget to bring coins for the ferry?" [ edit ] Contacts Bronislav "The years have not been kind to all of us, but you certainly seem to have improved with age." Helene "I am so pleased to see that you have finally changed your mind. Perhaps now you will learn to enjoy the world again, or what remains of it." Kato "Such an odd little child. Such a tempting little morsel. I do not know yet if I will give you what you desire most, but we shall see. We shall see much, you and I." [ edit ] RP Hooks Legendary Bygone  Almost everyone remembers Medusa, whose beauty inspired a god to defile a rival's temple with her and who brought down the wrath of a goddess upon her too-beautiful head. Fewer remember her elder sisters, Stheno and Euryale. Stheno, currently using the name Kalliste Grimaldi, is ancient. The world is not so large a place as to rule out the possibility of paths having crossed, even run parallel, in the past. Real Estate Ventures  Those with their fingers in the proper pies might have seen her name come up in connection with some commercial development. Though the exact nature of the project is not immediately obvious, it's involved liquor licensing and commercial food permits. [ edit ] Help Wanted Looking for a hook that is slightly more personal? Need a job for your PC? Stuck on a concept for an alt? Kalliste is hiring! Existing PCs and new ones alike are potentially eligible. Personal Assistant  Sometimes considered the personal secretary, but otherwise an all-around general aide. Duties include things like scheduling appointments; making reservations; screening telephone calls; running errands; and many other similar administrative, clerical, and support duties. Sounds boring on paper, but really this is code for getting to hang out. A lot. You never know when you might have to take a call. Executive Protection Specialist  What attractive, wealthy woman doesn't need (or want) some sort of bodyguard? This individual's primary responsibility would be ensuring Kalliste's safety and personal security, with duties including but not limited to threat assessment; preplanning of activities; potential chauffeur duty; and close personal protection. Again, this is really just code for getting to hang out. A lot. You never know when you might have to put someone in zip ties. [ edit ]

Kalliste [ edit ] Overview Mortal ID: Kalliste Grace Grimaldi Real Name: Stheno Date of Birth: Unknown True Age: Ancient Apparent Age: Mid 20's Race: Bygone Species: Gorgon Affinity: Metal Demeanor: Bon Vivant Height: 5'7" [ edit ] Notable Stats Arcane : Charisma : Dexterity : Appearance : Soothing Voice  Did the serpent in the Garden possess such a voice? Her voice is calm and soothing, almost entrancing. Hot heads and rash tempers are cooled by her liquid oratory. People (and beasts) in earshot will be inclined to trust her. In game terms, two dice are added to all rolls that directly include use of her voice to sooth or lull the hearer (Leadership, Manipulation, Singing, etc.) Mark of the Predator  She gives off emanations of a predatory nature. Herbivores fear and shy away from her, while carnivores see her as a threat. She cannot possess the Animal Ken Skill. Surreal Quality  There's something about her that mortals find fascinating. At inappropriate times, they'll stare at her and strike up conversations in the hopes of getting to know her better. Worse still, those mortals who are of less savory nature will choose her over other potential targets for their illicit acts. True Reflection  A mirrored shield played a key role in the legendary downfall of her sister, Medusa. Mirrors reveal her true form. [ edit ]
