Gemma Genovese

Details

Name: Ms. Gemma Genovese

Race: Human (Krytan)

Birth-date: 73 Zephyr 1314 After the Exodus

Residence: A manor house called Palmiro Park in the Harvest Cascades near Lake Doric, various other properties

Gemma is a lover of but her family and of the finer things, as it were—the latter to be seen in her attire, her accessories, and her overall arrangement. Gentle, chocolate-colored curls outline her clever, youthful features, and she is rare to be without some glittering bauble or other obvious abundance.

Relations

Mr. Bonaccorso Genovese, father

Mrs. Bianca Genovese, born Adesso, mother

Mr. Olindo Adesso, paternal uncle

Mrs. Camilla Adesso, born Genovese, paternal aunt 

Ms. Allegra Adesso, paternal cousin

Hooks

Gemma studies matters of finance at Queen Salma College, if in thanks to its Ronan Commission.

She was kidnapped prior to her latest bout of schooling, but she escaped her captors before any ransom could be paid.

Her father owns an oft-extolled shoe salon in the kingdom’s lone city, styled most classically as Bonaccorso Genovese.

Her father and her father’s sister are clandestine counterfeiters of startling efficacy, dealing both in false coinage and in forged bank-notes.

NAME: Tassa Solomonari

AGE: ???

RACE: Ascalonian

APPEARANCE   →

HAIR: The color of cornsilk, her hair is mildly wavy, lending it a slightly mussed appearance. Often worn loose, it is kept on the longer side.

EYES: Heterochroma; left eye: blue, right eye: green. This genetic anomaly is hard to discern as both irises are crystalline in nature and there is only a minuscule hue difference. 

SKIN: Ivory with cool pink undertones, like the pale inside of a seashell.

HEIGHT/BUILD: Svelte at 5′8′’, Tassa stands just a pinch above average.

NOTABLE(S): No visible scars, piercings, or body art. However, Tassa is rarely seen without a flower, usually dark in color, on her person. 

FACE CLAIM: If I had to use one, Dove Cameron.

RELATIONSHIPS   →

MARITAL: None

CHILDREN: None

FAMILY: Desmond Solomonari (brother)

HOOKS   →

PROFESSION(S): (Necromancer/Reaper): Traveling ‘undertaker’ and apothecary, Tassa and her brother, Desmond, tend to wounded and/or deceased soldiers, and visit towns plagued with illnesses. Tassa is also a budding florist with a knack for creating hybrids with magical attributes, also studying the affects the properties plants/flowers may have, especially mood altering.

SCENE/LOCALE: Soldier camps, posts, settlements, and at times, within Divinity’s Reach.

RUMORS: The Solomonaris were once an opulent family, though their numbers had drastically dwindled. It is rumored they are plagued with an incurable illness that eventually claims them in their young adulthood.

PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE:  There is not much known about the Solomonaris and who they are today. The majority seem to be reclusive  vagabonds who are reluctant to share their name.

AURA: Noticeably, death, likely due to her ‘work’. Though, if one is incredibly attuned to the afterlife, they may be able to discern that she is a magnet for spirits.

79 Zephyr, 1333AE Chokhin Hall Pillars of Shahrnaz, Vabbi

Various shades of purple adorn the towering walls and magnificent furnishings of Chokhin Hall, all in celebration of the Shahzad twins’ twenty-fourth birthday. It was slated to be an evening of decadence and debauchery to tantalize the senses with their favourite foods and traditional musical entertainers and scantily clad acrobats who twisted and twirled about the silks from high above. Vabbian nobles had been invited to join in the festivities, as well as, those who had attended the wedding.

Dressed in revealing attire of her own, Manizeh hovered about to ensure her husband’s special day proceeded flawlessly. Yet, she found herself tiring quite easily and rather early into the revelry. She certainly tried to hide any wayward yawns least she take away from the moment but ultimately she found herself retiring prematurely. 

“Are you enjoying yourself, my love?” She whispers her query in his ear over the loud atmosphere. “Do not stay too late, I have a special surprise for you – in private.” With a quick peck to his cheek, Manizeh departed the Pillars to return to their home in Leifah Township.

Jasna Sobol - The Witch of Blackroot Cut: A Profile

Jasna Sobol - The Witch of Blackroot Cut: A Profile Villainess or Victim of Circumstance by Ms. Ava Nolan

Thirty-two years ago, on a bone-chillingly cold Colossus night in the year 1301AE, the residence of Eastern Kessex gathered in a display of vigilante justice. Shouts rang out through the trees, calls for blistering flesh and boiling blood. Acquaintances would be her executioners, the very ones who months to years previous had, in their darkest moments, sought the aid and wisdom of Jasna Sobol. Desperate they may have been, they had nevertheless appealed to Sobol to conduct medical procedures too costly for the common-man. Yet now here they stood before her with jeers and scorn on their venomous tongues. ‘Baby-killer’ and ‘Murderer’ they spat in their anger. Defiance and an eerie sort of neutrality warred at her traditional Kurzick features, illuminated in the night as she was by torch-light that soon set ablaze her body bound to a wooden stake. Who was Jasna Sobol? Born into absolute poverty and a life of squalor, Jasna Mira Sobol was the oldest of the three Sobol children, which included a brother, Veselin Darko (1279AE - 1332AE), and a sister, Malina Iva who was immediately, post-birth, placed in an orphanage. Jasna Sobol possessed a dominant personality. Her brother, Veselin, however, was passive and known to be enamored by her. The pair were said to be inseparable. A number of individuals interviewed insinuated they were “unnaturally” close, and yet, Veselin Sobol survived his sister, and her crimes, by thirty-one years to pass only recently, last year, at the age of fifty-three. The informal and poorly conducted “investigation” into Jasma Sobol’s charges failed to identify Veselin as a person-of-interest. No interviews were conducted, and his person and premises were never searched. In 1301AE, Jasna Sobol was charged with the following crimes: (1) Offered slapdash abortions to women in need—later declared a ‘baby killer’, (2) Offered paid ‘mercy killings’ by means of poison—later condemned for murder, (3) Corrupted near water sources, but was paid to purify them—later charged with murder, (4) Hiding of and occult use of human remains—later charged with desecration. Cultist or Scapegoat? Locals claim she was a disciple of Verata the Necromancer, a rogue Ascalonian who, after the cataclysmic event known as The Searing, relocated to the Kessex Peaks region of Kryta.

His insatiable desire for knowledge caused him to use forbidden practices to increase the speed of his research on undead minions by kidnapping and experimenting on citizens and wayward travelers. He was thenceforth cast out of The Order, an organization formed to prevent the misuse of necromancy – a branch of magic that, to this day, is poorly understood by the masses. It is both shrouded in mystery and misconceptions.

The Dark Arts Necromancers draw their power from the sacrifice of blood (often their own) and by communing with the dead. Although they possess the skills to raise our dead relatives, this practice is widely discouraged across Tyria. Instead, necromancers who do summon the dead, and not all can or will, do so by utilizing a variable mixture of flesh, body parts and bones, often of animals, to form undead servants known as minions. Other such skills employed by the necromancer are curses, marks, spectral energy and life-force.

Holding the very power over life and death is a privilege not to be taken lightly, and it is understandable why so many remain wary of necromancy. Due to the sacrificial nature of their methods, Necromancers must practice patience and self-discipline not only to survive but to prevent the abuse and misuse of their power. Rules and guidelines for the practice of necromancy, such as those of The Order, must be strictly adhered and upheld by the current generation of necromancers to prevent individuals, such as Verata, who forge their own dangerous path paved with pain and suffering.

If Jasna Sobol was a follower of the Cult of Verata, where are her fellow cultists? There have been no recent reports, within the Kessex region nor from the Lionguard who patrol the roadways, of any occultist activity in the area. Today Blackroot Cut remains a dangerous swampland and one where the barriers between Tyria and the Underworld have weakened. From open portals, nightmarish creatures such as Aatxe, Shades, fleshreavers and imps pour forth to wreck havoc on the area.

Into the Unknown We may never know the truth behind the case of Jasna Sobol: who she was, what happened and all who may have been involved but such controversial individuals are rarely born. They are made – by us. They are made by ignorance, and a lack of opportunities. They turn away from the norm to create their own. With the recent discovery of the revenant (made known by the famed charr Rytlock Brimstone) which involves channeling and unleashing the powers of the Mists, and the arrival of Dragonfall, it is imperative that Tyrians not give into the fear of the unknown. We must embrace the magical potential that have been bestowed upon this world and beyond. To quote the Priests of Grenth, “Death is simply another journey.“

Idalia Graf

GENERAL INFORMATION

Name: Idalia Rosalind Graf

Birth-date: 176 Phoenix 1300 AE

Race: Human (Kurzick)

Residence: A cottage in Garenhoff

Occupation: Medical practitioner

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Hair: Auburn

Eyes: Blue-green

HOOKS

Rumor has it that Idalia has come to expand upon her work as a private practitioner, the fourth address at the Lyssa High Road of Divinity’s Reach serving hence as Saint Ehren’s Clinic.

She was to disclaim peerage some years ago, losing all titles, rights, and privileges associated with such—her father being the lord Graf.

Whilst still of the appropriate hereditary designation, she attended Queen Salma College.

Idalia spent her earlier career tending to the fragile psyches of sundry traumatized soldiers—and those of the purportedly deranged, too.

She was at her most intellectually insatiable beneath the wing of one Gloriana Graves.

😍 Diana Farnese

I first went the gif route for Diana, so I’ve cheated, but I think this first one is what she looks like when she’s badgering somebody (Vlad or Arny) about something.

This picture made me think of the Almuten Estates, so I posted it too!

Third because Monica and you don’t post pictures of her frequently enough.
