hello! i'm lav and i like writing dramatic indulgent plots and fun shenanigans, with bonus points for anything revolving around characters dabbling in the mysterious and forbidden. i'm not the best at getting around to plotter replies so please do feel free to poke me over discord if you've got any ideas!

at a glance

the blacksmith on the corner of the docks, the bartender at the blind monkey, that guy who is, apparently, a family friend of a friend, or something of the like. all things considered, he seems like a relatively easy-going sort, and is more than happy to walk you through the basics of choosing a weapon or take a request for a custom work, be it a blade or a finer piece of jewellery.

the family business

the ruchbahs have long since sworn their blood to the leviathan, even if a scant few have survived the massacres of operation juliet. these days, the family name is a well-guarded secret that sits at the head of the chimaera syndicate, a criminal organisation that focused on weapons and artifact smuggling between eclipse and delphi.[break][break]

the forge once served as a front for the syndicate. over the last few years, their focus seems to have changed — without an outright war, the syndicate's attention has turned to the trade of secrets. most recently, it seems that its wayward heir has caught the scent of forbidden magic, and has been making moves to revive old networks, much to the annoyance of other crime families.

relations

maddox is, all things considered, a fairly friendly guy. he's honestly quite a bit of a pushover when it comes to personal affairs — yes, you can bully him into doing your chores for you — and he does, truly, try his best to be nice. he likes helping people, and if you let him, he does care for them.[break][break]

at his core, maddox is driven by love.[break][break]

at his core, maddox is a craftsman — his weapons are lovingly made, and bear carvings befitting works of art, but make no mistake: they are still weapons.[break][break]

he draws a harsh line when matters begin to concern coven and family. really, all things with maddox can lead to a slippery slope to antagonism. he is extremely intolerant of anything that could potentially disappoint his superiors, and acts indiscriminately and accordingly — which is to say that being his friend, at most, will earn you only a sliver of mercy at best.[break][break]

it's simple, really. maddox is driven by love, but don't make him choose. it will not be you. it cannot be you.

a former pegasus witch who led a battalion of marine specialists. ever since it was revealed that he had been impersonating an acolyte of sybaris for the past two years, serafim seems to have revealed his true colours, promptly joining the mercenary coven proper and climbing rapidly through the ranks.[break][break]

as of january 2023, five months since his controversial swap of covens, serafim has reached the rank of acolyte. these days, he has garnered quite the reputation as a duellist, and is most commonly found around the lamia towers or in his office on the corner of the 32nd floor.

lightwrought.

everyone can't be the lamplighter. someone must be[break]

to be lit.
archetype: the faithful; the godkiller.

[attr="class","sidequestsline"]

at a glance

cerberus's newest initiate doesn't seem like much, honestly. a scholarship student who caught the eye of a generous patron — aren't those stories a dime a dozen in a place like this? this is an age of prodigies; the rules are constantly being rewritten, feats thought only capable by the divine constantly drawing closer, and closer, and closer.

the dove in the rafters

the closer he gets to people, the harder it is, he thinks, to tell the differences between gods, monsters, and men. not that it matters much to him, in the end.[break][break]

before cerberus arrived in the myca, he was a shrinekeeper. he had a sibling. he had a coven. before he became a shrinekeeper, he had a father.[break][break]

there are a lot of 'before's in his story. it's alright, he says drily, that goes in the literature review. everyone here seems so obsessed with history — what a strange half-life it must be, to constantly turn yourself inside out, to sacrifice yourself to the ghosts of your wars: why do you not tame your monsters? it's not that hard.[break][break]

at least the tools of wars change. now this is progress — something that gains a name, rhythm, and a life of its own.[break][break]

open your eyes, my friend. the gods must feed, and the gods must be fed — but what makes you less holy than them?

relations

between being rather new in town and a rather introverted disposition, the amount of people that ie seng truly considers friends can likely be counted on a single hand, if not less. he's polite and professional, of course, and by every arbitrary metric, he is everything he should be: the diligent, hard-working scholarship student, keen on earning his place among the halls of glorious heroes. isn't that what everyone wants to be?[break][break]

ie seng snorts and says, i'd rather have my name on a publication than a plaque.[break][break]

he's the one who is close-lipped about radical opinions, who is too careful to put their neck on the line, but he'll hypothesise; he'll speculate; he'll theorise — come now, don't look at him like that, it's all just a thought experiment, nothing more. keeps the mind sharp. what else did you want him to talk about, while we work through these godforsaken drills? comment about your form?[break][break]

above all else, ie seng wants to survive. he's careful about the enemies he knows he'll make — if he'll selling his soul to the machine of war, then he'll be certain to make sure it works. if he knows his research will be stepping on some toes, he'll be sure to find the supervisors who will turn a blind eye to some light transgressions.[break][break]

surely, you don't name yourself after a monster without knowing what you're doing.
