Strazio Rockwell

[Strazio Rockwell]

NPC List

Valerie LaMolle
[spoiler]



Effeminate and eccentric, Valerie LaMolle served as Strazio's mentor and taught him the ways of magick. In stark contrast to Strazio's irritable and aggressive nature Val's temperament is one of almost childlike friendliness and curiosity. At first glance Valerie appears to be human, however upon further inspection he seems to be somewhere between plant and human. His wounds ooze a rich sap, capable of sprouting life in the most inhospitable of environments, and food is nothing more than a luxury as a form of photosynthesis provides him with all the energy he needs. Able to control and create most plant life Valerie is not only resourceful but quite capable of brute forcing his way through adversity, though he would much rather avoid conflict when necessary. Despite his cheerful disposition he seems to have an odd affection towards death, seeing it as nothing more than the end to the beautiful cycle of life.

Tips for writing as Valerie LaMolle

• Valerie's vocabulary is quite extensive and he prefers to use flowery or colorful words, even if they obscure his intent.
  
• As he becomes more anxious and/or excited he tends to fidget, lacing his fingers together and performing a sort of nonsense sign language as he talks.
  
• Interested in foreign and exotic flora Valerie will go out of his way to inspect and subsequently ingest any plants he is unfamiliar with, and in doing so usually become intimately familiar with their effects. Due to his physiology rarely will he become sick, even when consuming otherwise poisonous plants.
  
• A friend to all, even those with abrasive personalities, Valerie will almost always attempt to befriend strangers, often offering them a flower of some sort as an olive branch. [/spoiler]
  

Isaac Carter
[spoiler]


A veteran in his sixties, pulled to the Omniverse to serve as a special ops agent for the Empire. And due to his ability to turn his blood into a weapon he filled that role well. It was during his time as an Empire soldier he met his future wife Melanie, a flower child from the Vasty Deeps. The two quickly fell in love and Melanie urged Isaac to cut his ties with the Empire and live a life of peace in the Vasty Deeps with her. Becoming disillusioned with the Empire's tactics Isaac agreed and abandoned his job. For a good while the two lived an idyllic life, he became a simple fisherman and she worked odd jobs throughout the home. It was a simple life, but a happy one. However the Empire, as it often does, sent bounty hunters after Isaac's head. After a brutal encounter with a particularly tenacious hunter Isaac watched his wife die in his arms. He promised her that he would not turn to revenge and instead continue to live a life of peace and pacifism.

With the death of his wife still fresh on his mind and bounty hunters on his tail he turned to a life of alcoholism and disgruntled existence. It was in a bar that he met Christa, a soldier much like himself with the death of her sister haunting her. Accompanied by a plethora of other brave souls the two searched for a void gate, hoping to find Omni and ask him to resurrect their loved ones. In the end they found the titular creator of the Omniverse and he offered them primehood. Isaac refused to play into what he saw as the continuation of a broken and violent cycle. In the end he was sent back to the Vasty Deeps and despite the occasional bounty hunter he does his best to live out a peaceful life.

Tips for writing as Isaac Carter

• Isaac is a diehard pacifist, preferring to settle disputes with words rather than violence. Should a situation boil over to violence he'll do his best to avoid any lethal blows.
  
• While not a hardass by any means Isaac is a jaded and straightforward sort of man, not afraid to speak his mind.
  
• He views most primes as unnatural and sees them as the violent harbingers of the Omniverse's absurdity.
  
• His right arm is missing from the elbow down, he's been this way for a few decades and is quite used to it.
  
• He has control of his blood and can use it as a weapon, often forming it into long tendrils which he uses to grapple and subdue opponents. [/spoiler]
