i am legitimately tempted to let the scoundrel lose her soul. not permanently, but just as like. An Incident™, y'know. a one-off goof. a gag, if you will
#again. not permanently. just for a few weeks at most#just to enjoy the Experience. and make all of her buddies fret over her#yin-thoughts#fallen london#the thing abt the scoundrel is losing her soul is definitely 100% in-character. she's completely charmed by devils#she falls victim to that stuff Very Very Easily#she's been riding along at like. 12-13 intimate with devils for months at this point#it's just that on a character and thematic level i dont think it works for him#in a meta sense i feel like the scoundrel already has more than enough going on as a character without adding soullessness on top of that#and in a thematic sense there's not really much removing her soul could accomplish in the long-term#that isnt already fulfilled by like. her preexisting chronic depression issues. yknow??#walking around with a hollow feeling in her heart isnt new to the scoundrel.#sure being soulless will just bring that sensation to the forefront all over again#but it's not doing much for her beyond making her confront that sensation and Potentially come to terms with it.#only because she's literally forced to.#beyond that one-time occurrence i don't think being soulless would add to her narrative. and as yall probably already know#/probably can already tell by now#hypothetical oc narratives are very important to me (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)#tldr if the scoundrel ever fails that 90% luck check and loses her soul i wouldnt fix it immediately but i Would fixing it At Some Point#there's only room for one violant-eyed soulless aristocrat in this city (hi hiram)
