001. saoirse de rothschild 002. twenty-three years old 003. pur
e-blood status 004. born to business magnate and chairman of
the multinational private and merchant bank rothschild & co.,
her father jacques de rothschild, and her mother niamh de ro
thschild, an internationally recognized global health expert a
nd epidemiologist employed by the world health organization
as the assistant director general of the rheumatic fever and e
mergencies cluster 005. irish maternally and french paternally
with her family's pre-war roots hailing back to county donegal,
ireland, and paris, france, respectively 006. born on the 20th
of october in the year 2054 in lower manhattan, new york city,
new york 007. stands at five foot two, weighing one-twenty fi
ve pounds 008. she has a white floral scent of jasmine, tubero
se, and orange blossoms cut with a dark, woody accord 009. h
omosexual/rom 010. the merrowbeach residents who know sao
irse remark that she has always been a meek yet pleasant youn
g lady. as an only child, her life according to the virtual reality
simulation has always been a quiet one. tolerant and accepting,
it's not often she will judge anyone else’s beliefs, lifestyle choic
es, or decisions. she is the sort of individual to easily see the m
any sides of a given situation. in fact, saoirse prefers compassio
n to fault-finding. as a result of her open-minded disposition, h
er friends, loved ones and occasionally even strangers see an im
mediate confidant in her. she's entirely altruistic to a fault. bein
g giving and generous yet not keen on confronting other people
when they're not pulling their own weight often means she will
overlook her own needs without a second thought. at her core s
aoirse yearns for harmony and acceptance. in fact, when someo
ne dislikes or disapproves of her she becomes fixated on trying t
o clear the air and feels determined to change that person's min
d. overly humble and far too concerned with other people's feeli
ngs, she will often downplay her own efforts entirely because sh
e truly rarely enjoys succeeding at other people's expense. emp
athetic, thoughtful and kindhearted by nature, she hates the id
ea of hurting anyone, even unintentionally. with a demeanor far
removed from that of a firecracker, it comes as no surprise that
the overseer of vault 113 felt content in having saoirse to embr-

-ace the identity of a shy and passive artist. she is not a pa
rticularly potent or domineering individual in the slightest
and as befits her role in the simulation she lives up to the
typical conceptualization of a push-over who can't say no
to other people. quiet, self-effacing and reserved in her b
ehavior, saoirse easily absorbs other people's emotions and
often lets her own feelings define her because she does no
t have a distinct, rooted identity. considering how much of
her sense of self relies on those around her she has a parti
cular difficulty facing any sort of conflict head on. she is s
ensitive and can grow quick to be distant with other peopl
e, appearing cold or aloof when she is stressed. additional
ly, she has a tendency of taking things personally too easy.
saoirse has a curious, optimistic, creative and self-expressi
ve personality governed primarily by her emotions. she's id
ealistic and strives to follow her conscience, even when do
ing the right thing isn't necessarily easy or convenient. as m
odest and quiet as she is though, she tends to be scathingly
self-critical, a small crack in the otherwise reserved, selfles
s persona she has been forced to take on in the virtual reali
ty simulation. she has always been the type of person to try
and do everything herself, even when it's simply impossible.
as a result she has highly unrealistic expectations for hersel
f and whenever she fails to live up to such visions, she deem
s herself inadequate. that sort of self-criticism can be enoug
h to discourage anyone from even their dearest of dreams.

011. before the nukes hit saoirse was a few years post-grad, having receiving her business and poli
tical economy (bpe) degree magna cum laude at nyu stern school of business, of which her father j
acques was an alumni. when she gained her admission to nyu stern she was the recipient of the me
rit-based elizabeth elting advancing women's leadership fellowship, established back in 2019 by ste
rn alumna, philanthropist, and entrepreneur elizabeth elting. the exceptional candidates who rece
ive this award are known to display extraordinary academic merit, an impressive record of leadersh
ip experience, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a dedication to advancing women in business. given h
er father's control over rothschild & co. she was destined to eventually join the ranks of the execut
ive team and by the height of her career, she was to succeed the man himself. that was all before t
he great war of 2077, though. saoirse once championed herself a quiet hustler, a go-getter who slid
es into positions of powers seamlessly. backed by a banking family legacy and an influential line of
relatives before her, saoirse's early, blossoming career in the world of business cemented her to be
a prospective powerhouse and one-day tycoon in new york city. much like her father, she has a craf
ty mind intended for climbing the enterprise chain but unlike most bigshots, her public modesty ha
s permitted her slyness to go mostly undetected. critics and colleagues have always been quick to
underestimate saoirse as a result of her reserved disposition and she has always purposefully used
that to her advantage (a self-awareness and cunning sharply contrasted by her unassuming, guilel
ess persona in the virtual reality simulation who would never finesse other people to advance hers
elf. after all, she is supposed to be ingenuous and artless, not someone who acts selfishly under a
guise of naivety to further her personal motivations). in fact, her growing involvement in rothschi
ld & co. came as a pleasant surprise to many businessmen and journalists who knew little about t
he chairman of the firm's only daughter before her wall street debut around 2075. when she was
only twenty one years old she made one of her first appearances in the new york times with her
father, headlining billion-dollar dynasties: meet america's up and coming heir. nyt commented th
at "some heirs take control of businesses they inherit and radically transform them [...] who's not
to say [saoirse] won't make those sort of waves for rothschild & co. one day?", a statement that w
ould seem to define the rest of her promising yet evidently short-lived career. saoirse has in fact
proven herself to move quietly but strike swiftly. she will sit and wait for an opportunity to strike,
much like a predator would to capture or trap their prey, staying in concealment and patiently w
aiting for vulnerable animals to come near before launching an overwhelming attack that quickly
incapacitates and captures said prey through the element of surprise. like that of a death adder,
she relies on the camouflage of her personality and ultimately the way in which other people pe
rceive her to ruthlessly accomplish what she needs to. after all, the world of business is harsh a
nd unforgiving to those who refuse to show they have a spine. saoirse appears to be someone un
suspecting, someone who would not last at the helm of the world's largest independent financial
dvisory groups, but that is exactly what makes her so dangerous. her inner determination and cu
tthroat strategies to survive as a woman in the field of business seem a far cry from her personal
ity at a first glance, and that's not even saying anything about her persona in the virtual reality s
imulation. the overseer of vault 113 essentially stripped away her drive and passion and left her

a one-dimensional shell of a person so that she might fit into the diffident image they p
lanned for her. after all, saoirse truly does have all the characteristics of a reserved, so
ft-spoken individual - the rest of her underlying personality simply served as little more
than blemishes to the portrait the overseer sought to paint of her and as such, they did
their best to eliminate the rather aggressive, merciless behavior she has learned to par
take in during her time in the real world. where in reality her viciousness is concealed
by her quiet demeanor, in the virtual reality simulation it has been eradicated altogeth
er 012. in the simulation she can be found working as a part-time barista at the stardu
st bistro and diner on main street when she's not spending her time in the merrowbeach
dance studio encore as the prima ballerina of her company. as an experienced dancer sa
oirse even teaches ballet to some of the children enrolled in classes at the studio she pr
actices at. according to the virtual reality simulation, she has been religiously involved
in ballet since she was a child. she frequently performs at venues such as the merrowb
each center for the arts or the town's quaint opera house. as one of merrowbeach's pri
ncipal female dancers, she often takes on lead roles in ballets alongside a male counte
rpart. her career started with a number of various solo performances, including ludwig
van beethoven's moonlight sonata and yuka oishi's ave maria. she has since performed a
number of impressive ballets and danced a variety of lead roles, making her a well-kno
wn and valued performer to the residents of merrowbeach. for instance, she has taken
on the role of kitri in a production of don quixote, and swept audiences away in the sle
eping beauty
and romeo and juliet. she's even performed iconic classical ballets such as
pyotr ilyich tchaikovsky's swan lake and appeared in the nutcracker. outside of the virtu
al reality simulation, saoirse did pursue ballet though it came nowhere near a profession
al career. rather than being a child prodigy, her interest in dance rapidly faded to a side
hobby by the time she was a teenager. it was a typical case of 'i'm doing this because my
parents thought this was a good idea, but i'm not even anywhere close to being talented'.

as the town's residential jewel and the most
adored of recent graduate homecoming que
ens, abril is beloved by the residents of mer
rowbeach, stemming largely from her devot
ion to volunteer work & her large social pre
sence. she has solid reputation amongst the
folks of merrowbeach as a congenial leader
and creative go-getter. admired by her eld
ers for her cultivated manners, teasing witt
icism and couth sense of responsibility & in
telligence, abril is the definition of an all-a
merican girl. she has trademarked herself a
ubiquitous presence in the coastal town for
not only being the daughter of merrowbeac
h's residential doctor but for her hospitable
ways and charming mannerisms. she is help
ful, good-natured and sagaciously percipien
t when it comes to the expectations placed
upon her shoulders. her convivial attitude d
elights just about anyone who talks to her,
& most people would even proclaim that sh

hollywood persona while eliminating the more 'negative' features of her true personality.
in vault 113, she is truly a woman of porcelain perfection, and fits perfectly into the rol
e of a well-liked but mysterious small-town beauty queen. before her life in vault 113,
abril was certainly a character that was larger-than-life. an endearing and intelligent y
oung woman, abril had life in the palm of her hand and she knew it, too. with a joyful
disposition riddled by her own spoiled lifestyle and sly consciousness, abril cares deepl
y for those around her and has proven to be a kind-hearted person afflicted by her ow
n bouts of brashness, selfishness and vanity. she oscillates between an incredibly adep
t grasp of social situations and a complete (or even willful) blindness to the facts of lif
e. it is never abril's intentions to hurt others but she often manages to do so anyway.
frivolous, tactless and entirely too prideful, abril's love for others very easily slips into
a realm of domination when she feels to need to insert herself into tense situations or
provide unwanted advice. none of it comes from an inherently malicious place but rat
her her own hubris clashing with her desire to be a helpful and bright confidant.

id-seventeenth century, the fox-strangways have historically served as
the earls of ilchester, a political title in the peerage of the united king

e on screen', and where her mother failed abril succeeded
in building herself a successful platform, public image and
filmography by 2077. abril loved the camera and the came
ra loved her. by the end of the 2070s she was hailed as one
of hollywood's most promising newcomers, and her next m
ovie contract was rumored to be valued at over one millio
n dollars XVII. abril made her first film debut at age eight
in abraham herbert's gothic supernatural horror film child
ren with a smile
, a critic-proclaimed 'haunt-fest' that cata
pulted abril into overnight stardom. it was not abril's first t
aste of high esteem and gentle veneration. as a toddler her
grandmother enrolled her in a number of miami-based beau
ty pageants, and at four years old she won the title of little
miss miami followed by the title of crowned princess in the
true royalty beauty pageant at six years old. her grandmoth
er put a heavy emphasis on abril's acting career. as a result,
abril was homeschooled in order to make room for acting cl
asses and auditions. after her first big break, abril's grandp
arents relocated to los angeles for better opportunities an
d abril herself would later go on to craft herself an impres
sive list of cinematic features that, over the years, earned
her nominations at the primetime emmy awards, golden g
lobes, screen actors guild awards, saturn awards, time 100
next, hollywood critics association awards, cannes film fes
tival, mtv movie & tv awards, washington d.c. film critics
association, the critics' choice movie awards and the venic
e film festival. she was routinely applauded for her drama
tic and horror acting performances; by 2077 she was widel
y recognized as a scream queen and a prominent actress o
f the 'broken bird' trope. her career could best be summed
up by rogertebert.com, who praised her performance as m
urder victim and haunted apparition roseanna kane in the
critically-acclaimed hbo hit-series case of the white lynx:
"[abril] holds a remarkable and chilling screen presence...
the most disturbing portrayal of the unknown & murdered
innocence since tv's landmark turning point in the '90s.

her. but outside the confines of the arena, this same impulsivity has made her a par
iah in the eyes of those who value order and restraint. in the measured world of pol
itics and propriety, she has been perceived as reckless, a wild card in a game where
stability and patience are prized. calista does not bend to their judgments. restraint
is a foreign concept, patience an ill-fitting virtue, and control something she meets
with outright pugnacity. her nature is that of impetuousness—if she wants something,
she takes it; if she feels something, she acts on it. thought follows action rather tha
han preceding it, and consequence is not enough to deter her from indulging in impu
lse. emperor dahoslav nazar once remarked as much, boldly asserting that "were [cal
ista] to harness but a fraction of the discipline i command, perhaps she might be mo
re than a fleeting nuisance... but as it stands, she is naught but a wildfire, swift to i
gnite and consume, yet sure to vanish ere she can leave a mark." where others seek
comfort in the familiar, calista is drawn to the thrill of the uncharted. her straightfo
rward nature is a reflection of this approach to life. there is no pretense or veiled m
eaning with calista—what you see is exactly what you get. plainspoken and unvarnish
ed, she has little regard for how her words might land on delicate ears. while this m
akes her a woman of rare honesty, it also brings with it a tendency to stir discontent
in others, particularly in the more refined circles where the art of diplomacy reigns
supreme. to those accustomed to the subtle dance of courtly speech, calista's blunt
ness is a jarring disruption, shattering the carefully constructed veneer of propriety
and leaving only unpolished truth in its wake. her forthright approach often comes a
cross as abrasive, and it is frequently mistaken for aggression. those who take the ti
me to understand her realize it is simply her way of ensuring clarity, cutting through
the layers of ambiguity that others may cling to. calista has no inclination to navigat
e social niceties, nor the patience to wade through the convolutions of polite discou
rse. this lack of interest in indirect communication reflects a deeper aspect of her n
ature—she values authenticity and practicality over the often circuitous methods of
statesmanship. when faced with tension or disagreement, calista is not one to shy a
way from confrontation or leave things unresolved. her instinct is to confront the iss
ue head-on, seeking resolution through decisive action rather than prolonged discuss
ions. she does not thrive in situations where there is endless back-and-forth, and her
preference is to either solve the matter or move on. calista's unwillingness to mask h
er intentions or soften her words grates on those who believe the highest form of gov
ernance is one built on unspoken understandings and calculated alliances. to them, s
he is not only brash but dangerous—someone who refuses to understand that power i
s not gained through action alone, but through nuance, compromise, and the ability
to manipulate perception. it should come as no surprise that many have remarked th
at "[calista] is of the same ilk as the mad queen, thinking force will bring dominion"
and where "[her grandmother] tore the realm asunder with her thirst for war, so too
does the girl care naught for the weave that holds this empire together". the compar
isons between the two athanasiou women are inevitable. the mad queen was once al
so praised for her unflinching will, but it was her unrelenting pursuit of conquest and
the chaos it wrought that ultimately turned her reign into a byword for destruction.
calista's preference for action over negotiation and her refusal to hide her intentions
behind polite platitudes are viewed not as signs of strength, but as dangerous naïvet
é. some fear that her archaic approach to power could unravel the stability the nobil
ity have fought so long to preserve. as a result, calista's influence in high society has

remained rather limited. despite her victories on the bat
tlefield and her undeniable prowess, she is seen not only
as an anomaly but as a harbinger of the past—a time whe
n the empire nearly tore itself apart under the weight of
unchecked ambition and the failure to navigate the comp
lexities of governance. beyond this, calista's relentless pu
rsuit of justice—one that offers no room for mercy, negot
iation, or compromise—has become one of the most defin
ing aspects of her nature. her need to avenge perceived
wrongs has led her to wage brutal, unrelenting wars again
st those who dare defy her, as well as those who are simp
ly caught in the crossfire of her unflinching pursuit. in ma
ny ways, her sense of justice has become inseparable fro
m her sense of identity. there is little room for shades of
grey in her worldview—every conflict is a battle to right a
wrong, and every victory, no matter how costly, is a step t
oward restoring balance. calista sees vengeance as a nece
ssary component for peace, one that will, in time, bring th
e world into a state of order. she believes that without this
catharsis, she will never find closure and the internal turm
oil caused by unresolved wrongs will continue to consume
her. to those who do not understand her motivations, calis
ta can come across as a volatile force whose drive for justi
ce has led to needless destruction without a sense of end.
to her, retribution is an act of justice, but to many others,
it is a destructive obsession that has swallowed her entire s
ense of reason. her worldview has narrowed to the point w
here all actions are either a means to achieve retribution o
r a delay in its inevitable fulfillment. many see her as a wo
man trapped by her own need for payback, unable to look b
eyond the immediate thirst for retaliation. in the end, calis
ta's worldview has become not just a method of survival, bu
t a self-imposed prison—one she is reluctant to escape, even
as it slowly destroys the very foundation of her humanity.

𝘛𝘞𝘌𝘓𝘝𝘌. coming from a long line of warriors, the blood of battle flows through the veins of the r
evenant princess. as expected of the daughter of the immortal queen of the heartlands, calista's
birthright has been carved out of gruesome victories and disturbing stories of depravity, onslaugh
t, and bloodshed. as a result of her gladiatorial efforts and acclaim on the battlefield, she has ga
rnered herself widespread admiration and respect throughout the territories of canada. raised on
spirit island in legio gemina keep with her siblings, calista was first introduced to the gladiatorial
scene early in her adolescence at the infamous gore bay colosseum and would one day go on to o
utclass many of the other competitors, becoming the gladiatrix of gore bay and holding champion
of the heartlands. neither title has been earned lightly. calista has proven herself as one of the gr
eatest warriors to have ever stepped foot in both the arena and the battlefield. unlike others who
rely on brute force and grounded attacks, she favors nimble movements to elevate herself above
her enemies, a strategy that has made her a well-known gladiator in the vissarion fighting class. c
alista enrolled in gladiatorial imperial school of her own volition, making her a part of a modest b
ut elite pool of gladiators who volunteer to fight. typically, to ensure matches are as equal as pos
sible, eidolon overseers assign gladiators to compete against those of roughly similar experience l
evels (novices against novices, experts against experts, etc.) but when calista first stepped into t
he gore bay amphitheater as a “tiro” (the term for a new gladiator) she faced one of the scarlet tw
ins, apostolos kourou, a commander of a manitoba tribe known for terrorizing the border of the no
rthern heartlands until his capture where he was cast in the arena to die by the command of the h
ouse of athanasiou. her opponent apostolos was a veteran fighter who won 13 out of 14 matches in
his gladiatorial career, equal to several years of experiences as a gladiator. as a result, a then-sixte
en year old calista became hugely popular in the arena following her stunning performance against
the scarlet hand's former commander. no one fighter was keen to face the man except calista, who
killed him and in her next battle defeated another 10-time winning gladiator, quickly becoming a l
egend among the spectators of the arena. her early triumphs gained her the attention of gore bay's
people and her back-to-back upsets prompted eidolon graffiti artists to memorialize her achieveme
nts. calista has often been compared to the likes of her grandmother queen juno athanasiou, the fo

-long thunder bay-sudbury campaign where their queen mother anastasia's pr
esence was oftentimes demanded outside the city of gore bay. their mother s
pent more time in the unruly territories of kenora, sudbury, and thunder bay
than she would the capital city, by consequence leaving a gap in her relation
ship with her two eldest children. relying on her brother galen to help raise a
donis and calista due to the matrilineal culture of the eidolon, calista's uncle
became her and adonis' equivalent of a father figure over the years. in the e
idolon this is ordinary practice whereby the revenant queen should and will p
rioritize the advancement of her tribe over raising and nurturing a family. ins
tead, that responsibility is taken on by her brother, and when feeling incline
d, her king consort. calista's father balisarius has been far less involved in his
children's lives, and given the culture of the eidolon this remains a norm des
pite other tribes finding a father's lack of engagement with his royal children
a hard notion to grasp, just like the very idea of a matriliny itself. having spe
nt his life becoming a famed likourgos class gladiator, balisarius is often foun
d floating around betting on gladiatorial games when he is not living in the sh
adow of his fearsome wife, whose hand he won in in marriage only through s
ucceeding past her elaborate scheme of venationes in the gore bay colosseu
m. given balisarius' passivity, it remains clear where political, military and so
cial power stem from in the eidolon, that being calista's mother. though calis
ta was raised in legio gemina keep in the city of gore bay, come the uprising
of cochrane in the year 2418 she and her older brother adonis were sent awa
y to foster in khyobel by the hand of her queen mother while her younger sis

𝘕. in the year in 2421 (when calista was twenty years old) she went up north
to the kenora district in the renewed conquest for dryden, a major city on w
abigoon lake once occupied by the eidolon during the rule of juno, which has
since been infiltrated by the manitoba tribe of the scarlet hand for years on
end. the dryden campaign was not one looked upon favorably to begin with.
it is rumored that those who occupy lands around the wabigoon river eventu
ally succumb to insanity, otherwise known as “the curse of dryden” by the p
eople of the eidolon. the eidolon abandoned their military posts in the great
er dryden area around wabigoon river and relinquished their control of the l
ands under the command of former queen juno athanasiou after years of str
ange, unexplainable incidents transpired amongst eidolon soldiers stationed
in the region. what the people of the heartlands now understand to be the c
urse of ruling dryden was actually once referred to as minamata disease.

beyond the understanding of the people around him. call it having a few screws loose or
just pure exploitation, but søren tends to stay ahead of everyone else around him. he be
ars a cautious but callous nature that refuses to allow others to get a jump on him, if on
ly because he is a naturally distrustful person with very little faith in other people. is it
noticeable, though? absolutely not, for søren's outward affability ultimately portrays him
as a different person. he has a natural way of keeping a conversation flowing by tactfull
y relying on the other conversator's hubris to inflate their own sense of pompous self-wo
rth, and by doing so it often appears to the other that he genuinely finds interest in thei
r hobbies and achievements—which is rarely the case. søren tends to earn the loyalty an
d good graces of those around him by appealing to their inflated egos, something in whic
h he learned by watching his own queen mother do the same. he is unscrupulous in his o
wn right, and shrewd in which he crafts his relationships with other people or his public
stances on topics of a controversial nature. for better or worse, soren no longer depends

deas may be bordering on conventional. he is
spontaneous when facing real-life challenges,
but he does not leave loose ends. practical, e

e, søren handles any given social situation wi
th an alarming amount of tact. he does not a
ct on impulse nor is he a particularly emotion
al person. some might even be puzzled on ho
w pleasant of a conversationist he is, althoug
h his grace does not necessarily stem from be
nignity. søren does not push other people awa
y because he is always aware of the possibilit
y that he may need to rely on a support group
, and it is always easier to work the tools of o
ther people than waste your own resources. d
espite possessing the internal resources to ha
ndle life’s challenges & vagaries alone, he wil
l carefully rely on structures, allies, beliefs, &
support outside himself for guidance to surviv
e & succeed, although he will not sacrifice his
independence for just any postulate. he value
s loyalty in both his professional and personal
life, for he ultimately prefers consistency, rou
tine, & predictability. solution-oriented, søren
is always seeking to remove obstacles, enhanc
e communication, and strengthen his interper
sonal relationships. determined to build a net
work of trust over a background of unsteadine
ss & fear, he is often filled with a nameless an
xiety that he cannot shake nor identify. wanti
ng to feel that there is something solid & clea
ar-cut in his life, søren has become attached
to explanations or positions that seem to exp
lain the unknown to him (hence his faith). be
cause “belief” is inherently difficult for søren
to achieve, and because it is so important for
his sense of stability, once he establishes a tru
stworthy belief, he does not easily question it
, nor do he want others to do so. although int
elligent and accomplished, he will relentlessl
y apply himself to his craft in order to feel m
ore competent. the irony is that no matter w
hat degree of mastery he develops in his area
of expertise, this cannot solve his more basic
insecurities about functioning in the world. v
ery entangled with his own values and princip
les by which he measures reality & defines ris
ks, this parameter system and heightened sen
se of analysis & sharpened observation has ma
de him distrustful, always engaging with other
s in a manner of low emotional cost as not to
become hurt himself. his focus of attention of
ten distracts him from his most pressing pract
ical problems. nonaligned & self-reliant, he is
rarely genuine in his interactions with others.

the tribe of the mythic dawn. cloaked in an aura of divine ancestry, hou

ognized the growing greed and hubris that tainted their fam
ily lineage—their insights were dismissed as inconsequentia
l. generational trauma, passed down through the centuries,
has only compounded their folly. the same rigid pride that l
ed their founders to greatness became a curse, as the press
ures of maintaining their supposed divine perfection started
to warp each generation, perpetuating a cycle of denial, re
pression, abuse, & death. their descent into near collapse i
n the 2400s was as much a product of their refusal to ackno
wledge their own vulnerabilities as it was of the greed & vio
lence that long haunted their reign XVI. born during the win

, a child born during the seasonal festival of alban arthan. c
hildren born during this time are thought to be blessed by t
he high queen aennolë of the golden order of the valëkrya;
the fact he and his sister were born as twins only further sa
nctified the circumstances of their births, and it immediate
ly set them on a path far different than that of ordinary roy
als. bloodborn children deemed blessed by the gods are typ
ically subjugated to bloodletting, a ritualized practice of se
lf-infliction or piercing of a holy individual's body that serve
s a number of ideological and cultural functions in mythic d
awn society. when performed by religious authorities, the a
ct of bloodletting is crucial to the maintenance of sociocult
ural and religious structures in mid-southern gibraltar. used
as a tool to legitimize the ruling lineage's socio-political po
sition as well as the ruling validity of the gods, the blood th
at is collected from the golden order's vessals is either 'retu
rned' to the earth via scattering or burning or it is gifted to
only the golden order's most staunch warriors. the druids of
phianathë gather holy blood in bowls of oak to draw celesti
al symbols across the exposed skin of submitting bloodborn
fighters, usually marking them with pious emblems that wil

y vessels, a rather unsettling ceremony that citizens of the mythic dawn t
hemselves 'fiercely defend' from outside critics. beyond obvious intentions
of sociopsychology and religious control over the masses, bloodletting has
historically held significance within the mythic dawn as a way for them to
petition their ancestors & the gods for rain, good harvests, and success in
warfare, among other needs and desires. sacrifice, in whatever form, is d
a deeply symbolic and highly ritualized activity in gibraltar, with strong re
ligious and political significance. various kinds of sacrifice are performed
within a range of sociocultural contexts & in association with a variety of
activities, from mundane everyday activities to those performed by the e
lites and ruling lineages with the aim of maintaining social structure. sac
rifice symbolizes the renewal of divine energy &, in doing so, the continu
ation of life in the undying lands. in order to continually maintain the ord
er of their universe, the people of the mythic dawn believe that blood ha
s to be given back to the gods. religious rituals that are painful or highly
stressful are hypothesized to be costly signs of commitment essential for
the evolution of complex society, and the price of these fidelities are of
ten paid by the sufferings of those like søren. ritualistic wounds are infli
cted on holy vessels via runeblades, religious instruments used by the dr
uids to cut into certain regions of the body known as the alqundir amath
s
('heavenly chalices'). blood loss is crucial for a successful spiritual exc
hange between vessel and numen; sometimes, blood loss also allows sel
ected vessels to enter trance-like states in which they are expected to e
xperience visions of the tribe's deities or their ancestors. intense rituals
enhance social cohesion and promote cooperation for bloodborn society,
and sacrificial rituals involving the dedication of human lives and blood
to supernatural beings is essential to the religious foundation & political
order in the mythic dawn. bloodletting has been used to illustrate how t
hese extravagant and costly displays increase the level of commitment t
o dominant ideology pushed by not only house kolbeck but the highborn
of gibraltar as a whole, even if it came at the cost of sacrificing the live
s of those forced to endure these rituals XVII. life proved to be isolating
for a child of midwinter. born on a day steeped in religious significance,
he was immediately set apart by his tribe, seen as both a blessing and a
responsibility. gripped by fear of endangering søren's perceived spiritual
purity and his future claim to the throne, his father forbade him from p
articipating in the ordinary customs and play that defined the childhood
s of his peers. cloaked in an aura of reverence that only deepened his se
nse of isolation, this overprotection marked søren as different, a target
for the cruel jests & physical browbeating of other children. taunted &
shunned for his exclusion from the tribe’s shared experiences, a young s
øren
could care less about his alleged ties to the bloodborn's religion if
it meant enduring a lifetime of supposed loneliness. forced to abstain f
rom participating in bloodborn raids, pillaging & even gladiatorial game
s in the heartlands, søren's relationship with his father—initially one of
a close and treasured nature when he was a child—grew strained as he
entered his juvenile years. søren resented his father for what he viewed

-itical landscape of saint-arkh, gwen has become proficient in uncovering insecurities
and using them against people in insidious ways. she sees herself as good, knowing b
etter, and selfless because she believes her abilities make her entitled to the attenti
on or love of others, an attitude that often leads to unsatiable obsession revolving ar
ound people who deem themselves particularly useful to her. when she does not rece
ive the appreciation she feels she deserves, that’s when things get nasty. like a cham
eleon, gwen will likewise change the way she acts toward other people if they fail to
meet her expectations: she targets the needs of those around her with devouring em
pathy and compassion and withdraws it whenever they do something she might deem
wrong. although she won't directly express her dissatisfaction toward people who do
n't return her devotion, gwen's entitlement can easily go through the roof and she is
quick to condemn others for not adequately appreciating her. in the face of rejection
she can even become quite desperate for love and appears willing to take it by force
if necessary. in this regard gwen's dominating nature tends to surface when others do
not heed her advice. she is quick to resort to accusing others of not appreciating her
or her actions: nothing is ever her fault and everything is on the other person becaus
e she has only ever been “good” or “helpful”. frequently pushing her preferences on
to people on the pretext that “this is the best” for them, gwen imposes guilt onto o
thers and this is converted into further forms of denial such as “i am doing this for y
our own good” or “this hurts me more than it hurts you”, loving confrontations whic
h can undoubtedly lead to conflicted feelings in others. due to how involved she ten
ds to become in the lives of those around her, gwen is prone to falling victim to extr
eme fits of possessiveness and jealousy, a core contradiction of her own personality
─ the aching void that craves love combined with the belief that the self is not inhe
rently lovable, or that love has to be earned, a viewpoint much like that outlined in
the divine logic: “whatever is taken must be taken by force, not given”. her self-de
ception can reach incredible levels considering how often her destructive acts are r
ationalized into hard love. beneath a facade of benevolence, gwen is a self-righteou
s and inflexible woman who is moralistic about whatever she thinks is the right thing
to do, an aspect of her personality shaped by growing up in the ranks of the chantry.
she is quick to condemn others and justifies herself on moral grounds, unable to allo
w herself to be proven wrong or selfish, often completely denying her own aggressiv
e feelings. evidently, her kindness is not genuine or from the heart. in fact, she mak
es people depend on her because she wants to feel influential. a compulsive helper
who refuses to look at her own problems, gwen manipulates those closest to her for
“their own good” and feels like the superior one in all of her relationships, possessin
g a prideful attitude of “what would you do if i didn’t help you?”. gwen may have co
me from humble beginnings but she is proof that power is an intoxicating libation th
at will ultimately destroy you and those around you 𝘌𝘓𝘌𝘝𝘌𝘕. orphaned at a relativel
y young age, gwen was raised into the chantry life in grimgate as a lay sister. as an a
ffirmed she was noted to be a relatively quiet girl, albeit one particularly troubled b

uiries into her person were only initiated when she was found in her lodgings mutter
ing “peculiar”, “non-english” speak, as described by one of the initiates delivering h

m”. it's not unusual for the chantry to take interest in those with alleged mental and
astral senses, so when a dreamwalker was alerted of what appeared to be a possessi-

-on of sorts gwen was rapidly brought into the fold as a ves
sel under study. plagued by enigmatic dreams and other sim
ilarly eerie disturbances, her troubled sleep was investigate
d for several months on end in isolated quarters and when it
finally became clear she truly was suffering from chronic pro
phetic visions ─ accidental possession believed to be a hallm
ark for those who exhibit powerful manifestation or psychic
abilities ─ gwen was prematurely ushered into the care of th
e dreamwalkers who sought to assume mentorship over her l
ong before she might go on to take her vows. although this t
utelage would wind up granting her certain privileges many a
colytes would themselves envy, gwen would soon find herself
the willing victim of holy suffering in the name of the dark di
vinity. as it was plausible she might be a conduit for invidia h
erself, her early training in becoming shadowsworn revolved
around her initiation into the art of dreamwalking itself, an
exclusive teaching revered throughout their religion. though
gwen’s episodic trance-like states manifested themselves at
random, dreamwalkers of the chantry began to rely on both
chemical and non-chemical remedies to induce her into the
se spells. the chantry’s interest primarily stemmed in what
proclamations she made while in an altered state of consci
ousness ─ “oba blēḍandina viṭaoba māva andinna …”
─ utterings seemingly echoed from old tongue referenced i
n scriptures from the era of savona, phrases only given to t
hem pieces at a time before she became noncompliant or p
assed out. though broken speak, someone well-versed in th
e old ways could still recognize this was an ancient prophec
y being foretold through her, specifically one regarding the
promised high celebrant of darkness. once this revelation c
ame about, extracting pieces of this prophecy from gwen b
ecame increasingly important up until the very moment she
took her vows and for years onward too, and would eventua
lly earn her the nickname "instrument of the divine logic".

-o intense dissociative or deliriant agents, led to several insta
nces of marked hallucinatory, dream-like states suggestive of
oneirophrenia. though being the result of extreme sleep distu
rbances and chemical usage, different ritualistic ceremonies
were often positioned around her phases of deteriorating he
alth, her abnormal behavior merely perceived to be signs of
an enhanced psychic state that must be taken advantage of.
as a result gwen largely spent her youth exploited by the ch
antry as their goddess' chosen vessel, or rather the “eyes of
scathach”, whose life purpose was defined by a prophecy gr
eater than herself 𝘛𝘞𝘌𝘓𝘝𝘌. gwen's inevitable tolerance tow
ard certain chemical preparations in addition to a growing
dependency on their use meant she had to begin relying on
more potent remedies to invoke the same degree of divinati

began to dabble in the actual compounding of chemicals, a
skill she picked up under yvaine, consequently initiating wh

as an acolyte she would become integral to a number of rituals and ceremonies concerning the mys
teries of the stygian path, for the dreamwalkers of the chantry declared her the equivalent of a pr
ophetess or seer, which too would explain her innate knowledge of the old tongue. as a result, wh
en high authorities in the chantry sought an audience with invidia or wished to implore the dark s
ister’s guidance it was often gwen they would seek out. arkhians believe so strongly about the po
wer of dreams to foretell the future and offer advice that the chantry upholds established rituals
intended to incubate dreams. sometimes dreams can be straightforward and easy to understand,
though the meanings of others can be more obscure and require the specialized understanding of
a dream “interpreter” such as the drakonian dreamwalker and gwen's mentor, yvaine bashere. w
hen a follower of invidia would seek advice or a message from the goddess herself they could co
me to the grimgate temple and offer payment to the keepers of the holy grounds, often by mean
s of a sacrifice, eating certain foods or drinking and/or fasting. this ritual would be followed by s
leeping in the “presence of invidia”, usually in rooms specifically set aside for the purpose of dre
am incubation. sometimes, the actual dreaming was done by gwen herself, but in other instances
the person seeking advice would sleep and dream beside gwen, who would then interpret both of
their dreams together under the guidence of yvaine. because arkhians feel that dreams are so sig
nificant, the chantry is quite meticulous about recording dreams and their interpretations. for in
stance, dreaming of the moon or seeing yourself in the mirror in a dream might be considered a b
ad omen, or even a sign that a married man or woman must find themselves a new partner. durin
g dream incubations, gwen would be administered anti-cholinergic remedies such as those infuse
d with atropine (derived from the plant atropa belladonna) in order to potentiate divinatory or lu
cid dreams due to their believed properties in promoting dreams vivid to the senses. some effect
s experienced with these oneirogen-assisted rituals are associated with hypnagogia, out-of-body e
xperiences and hypnic jerks, the latter of which has become a regular nighttime occurrence for h
er now. during the preparation for dream incubations, voluntary deprivation of sleep is typically u
ndergone in conjunction with different herbal remedies as well, intended to make dreams more in

-ness the ultimate form of mastery for a dreamwalker: the practice of dream
telpathy. this practice can take even the most well-learned dreamwalkers ye
ars to achieve, making the number of shadowsworn capable of telepathic luc
id dreaming rather few. the chantry sees dreams as a conduit to a collective
unconscious, offering a means of communication and connection between in
dividuals. it is generally seen as most impressive to be able to consciously in
teract with the dreams of another person, bridging the realm of the physical
world and the ascendant realm to explore the vast capabilities of the human
consciousness and the interconnectedness people share. those who can enga
ge in dream telepathy tend to be well respected among the ranks of the cha
ntry, for they are often relied upon in complex ceremonies that require direc
t intervention into someone's dreams. the amount of power they hold in this
regard serves as a testament to the strength of their inherent connection to
the dark sister. some even believe the ability to interfere with other people's
dreams is only bestowed upon those blessed by invidia herself. come the app
arentness of gwen's early proficiency in this talent she was granted leave fro
m vivencia alongside her mentor to the lands of drakonia for further trainin
g at establishments with greater access to high-quality, refined botanic med
icines and ancient libraries full of well-preserved arkhian religious texts. th
ere, she quickly became immersed in a multitude of practices typically und
ertaken only by those who have proven their competence, both through her
apprenticeship directly and as a result of her own curiosity. gwen would find
and collect all the scriptures referring to some form of inviting the world to
send prophetic dreams, a topic of particular interest to her given her early
recognition as a child-prophet and word-bearer of the ancient coming of st
yx. her morbid fascination with her own psychic ability ─ and the inherent
authority she could exert over people through what perceived power she h
eld ─ came to drive much of her religious studies, astral experimentation,
and ultimately led to her acquisition of a well-established reputation withi
n the order of the chantry's dreamwalkers 𝘛𝘏𝘐𝘙𝘛𝘌𝘌𝘕. within the last year,
the honor of joining the grand clerics comprising the cimmerian chantry w
as bestowed upon gwen for her accomplishment and devotion to the dark
sister. prior to being named to her newfound position however, she acted
as the house of macbeth's assigned augur, solidifying her place in her hom
elands of vivencia with an extensive background from teachings in the te
mples of drakonia. she held the revered status of dark augur of vivencia, a
rank that eventually granted her the informal title “herald of the change”.
