okay, i finally figured out claudia's bare bones.

okay, in her main verse, claudia’s an investigative journalist who used to be highly regarded until her daughter went missing and she started writing about what others believed were conspiracy theories, but were actually the truth. but no one believed her because the people she was trying to put out in the spotlight kept covering themselves up.

it doesn’t help that she can talk to and hear the dead (specifically her brother that went missing when she was younger) and can't stay dead. so, like, they thought she was a whole nutter-butter before, but they now had a reason to believe it. so she never got jobs working for a paper after that. she ended up working at her father’s various hotels, selling her art and other’s art in his gallery halls, instead.

oh, and she hides people in need in her father's hotels. she's also a vigilante on the dl, occasionally. which is mostly done to find her daughter - or so she says.

this is the gist for basically every verse, except stated otherwise. the only difference is sometimes she's an assassin for her biological mother delphine. verse dependent for the last part though. i've decided to leave that part out.

WIP INTRO

TITLE → Circle In the Sand: Reality Buried Deep

PART OF → The Palms Universe. Which is a futuristic multi-genre universe. Though this specific sector of that universe is inspired by 80s comic books, the noir genre, horror, and found family (and family trauma).

SETTING → This is essentially a simulation that's part of a planet separated from our earth. And on that planet is in an area called 'Whispering Sands' for those who want to be technical, and 'Whispering Palms' for the locals who believe the palm trees are filled with surveillance that listen more than the desert sands do.

It's a place where superpowers exist but no one really talks about them because of how they came to be. Some labs have attempted to duplicate these powers in the past, but over the years, these labs have disappeared or ran out of business ; or so people think.

The universal agency keeps an eye out for people who have attempted to play 'hero', so when their 'superman' archetype pops up, he's kind of struck down to make a statement for everyone to not to attempt the same thing. so now, in this area, no one shows off their powers except for when they're in various safe zones, which people avoid because no one understands those with powers.

triggers: c*mic book & noir themed-esque crime violence, family drama, mother-daughter manipulation, abduction, mind-control, unreality, government bs, ghosts, paranoia, and death.

short summary

→ claudia dardashti has recently been fired from attempting to make it through the 'universal agency' training program because she spotted her superior officer harming his wife when he believed no one was watching. she loses her temper on him and uses powers she did not recall having.

her life then begins to spiral out of control after she visits her father at his hotel to tell him about these powers and what had happened, and instead, while being nosy, she notices a photo of her missing daughter in his desk drawer and a photo of her deceased younger brother beside it...then she proceeds to find her father's dead body in his room when she goes to confront him about the photos.

and not just that, she finds the date her younger brother died and the date her daughter went missing written on the walls in black marker. a usb is found with it, but before she can really do anything about what she's found, due to how horribly old the tech is, her adoptive mother blames her and his other 2 adoptive children for his death, and hands claudia a letter.

the letter states claudia's heiress of the dardashti fortune and properties, so she stops over-thinking what she saw the night of her father's death and just occasionally looks at the photos she found, but she attempts to not over-think things. however, people continue to die in the hotel she stays at with her husband after her father's death, mostly drownings, and claudia doesn't really think much of it, until she begins to see the ghosts of the deceased and she begins to understand that the mess all started when she began to make friends and spark an attraction with the stunning blonde woman who began staying at the hotel the week her father died.

eventually, she comes to find there are missing pieces in her memory, and these missing pieces are related to this woman - rachel - who says she's known her since they were children from the same genetics lab. which kind of makes claudia laugh, but it's whatever, until rachel tells her how clouds brother died. and that she knows where claudia's daughter is. along with the fact that...ding ding ding, she's asleep in a lab right now, and was looking to save her daughter, and needs to wake up to find her.

but uhm, yeah, rachel won't let her wake up despite telling her this. and claudia has to keep solving mysteries and the problems rachel gives her until she figures out the right clue to wake up.

Characters

Claudia Dardashti → Main Character. Anti-Hero. A bit of a little shit, but well-meaning and has a big heart. She's from a town called 'Hysteria Heights' which is outside of the Palms. I want to say her life was normal before this, but that would be a lie, her life has been an experiment to see how her and her two adopted - powered - siblings adapt to a normal life from the moment they were adopted. Which meant, in their town, no one could leave, and no one knew why, except for her father. But in the Palms her whole issue she's going through now, is likely due to her being kidnapped after trying to save her daughter. So now she has to save herself by escaping this simulation to actually do that. Ooof.

Rachel Temperance → A main character. Villain. Causes trouble for Cloud. Very much her anti-soulmate. Very much her other-half. Very much another person in the simulation put there to make sure Claudia doesn't get out, even though she tells Cloud she's there so she 'sees' a way out. Out of the simulation and in it, I feel like they get bored when they're not taking on each other.

More to Come.

claudia dardashti headcanon:

she's typically wearing some form of gloves. it has nothing to do with really anything other than she doesn't like skin to skin contact unless she's fond of you. and to be honest, she just does not like touching things with bare hands, either.

there's more to this that i might expand on, but i feel like basically the gist is, cloud's always wearing gloves unless she's fond of you, and then she's not.
