Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

A tall, dusty man, in blue armour and a full-face pushed open the door, stilling conversation at the tables nearest him. He walked across the main floor, pushing his way through the throngs of drunkards with skeins in their hands. As he arrived at the staff staircase, he walked up it, leaning against the wall and taking his helmet off. Beneath, of course, was the familiar face of Cyronin the Blue, agent of the Midnight Sun. He opened his room, tossing the helmet on the bed and sighing. The room was swelteringly hot, as a result of the curtains and door having been closed for the last few months as he went about his missions in the foreign lands. He walked to the window, pulling the curtains apart and pushing the glass panes up, sighing, pleased by the feeling of the sun on his face and breeze in his hair. Next to go on the bed was his sword, belt, boots, and gloves, followed by his chest piece and greaves, before he could finally sit down on the ground in his underclothes, relaxing as he waited for the Madame or Reese to contact him for his next assignment. The next time Cyronin the Blue picks up his sword, the voice of Madame Naoki would be waiting for him, courtesy of the gemstone embedded into its pommel. “Cyronin. I hope you haven’t been getting too comfortable; I’ve got another job for you. This time, a reconnaissance mission. I’d like you to approach the Goraian border, and visually observe their fortifications. We’ve recently received information that they may be using large scale mind control on their citizens, and I’d like to investigate the rumors in a non-intrusive manner. You probably won’t see anything much, but I’d still like someone to look. I realize that this is a task that could be accomplished with scrying spells, but I suspect that they have wards in place to prevent that, and may not take kindly to magic being cast on them from Isra- scrying magic can sometimes be traced. So to play on the safe side, I’m sending you, because you’re overqualified. You should prepare with heavy magical defensive equipment and observation tools, as well as supplies to exist in the wilderness for a prolonged period of time. Oh, and prepare enough for two- I’m considering sending one of our newest operatives with you to gain experience.”

Not long after Naoki sent the message, Cyronin picked up his sword and was surprised, but most pleased to hear her message.
"Of course, Naoki. I'll get together supplies and then return to pick up the new one.
He grabbed the rest of his armour and his sword, before passing down through the main floor of the Sun and exiting into the city.

Her sway shuffled her along the streets with no set purpose or destination in mind - the only thing on her thoughts was finding a source of sustenance. The more she wandered, the thicker the throngs of vendors and stalls and patrons grew. But she made her way through them, a natural aversion to accidental contact leading her to almost glide through the people roaring and stumbling about on the roads.
Then something caught her eye overhead - and it wasn't the lights of the deemed Nexus. A towering queen over the cramped bazaar that smothered the cobbled street. A thin, devious smile splayed across her lips behind the shawl, and she moved forward to press for the doors. An easy application of her hand to the surface would open the void into a lively, boisterous environment that was almost deafening to her senses compared to the quiet catacombs she resided in for prolonged periods of time - she felt a ripple in her strong hold in maintaining her illusion and suppression of her magical aura. But with her recovery came the strength and refreshment of her senses - and she could smell and taste so much on the air alone. It made her purr softly in satisfaction while a darker part of her deep down began to stir and rumble and growl, bringing the staff in her hand near to rest the flat bottom to the floor with a quiet thump as both hands grasped at it. She leaned on it for some support as she took in all the place had to offer to her senses. The ruby gem glowed faintly - a warm color emanating off of it almost in unison to her own demeanor becoming warm and inviting.
This place was beautiful, and practically teeming with possible sources of nourishment - both inside and outside these lovely walls.

"I absolutely am. And I promise, I will always try my best." she said and put on a serious face. Phew. This sure sounded like some sort of elitist institution. But wasn't it the best to learn from the best? Hmmmm. Although she liked being in this city, she probably couldn't bear long to stay in one place. And she also wanted to find information on Tharos. This could be a great opportunity. Combining work with the search for her missing guardian. And being in the employment of Madame Naoki would probably help her obtain information or getting into areas, where she, as a normal person, wouldn't be able to. "Well, if it's okay, I would prefer this middle-of-the-road sort of job. Just this question: what difference would there be from, as you called it, roaming, which I have been doing?" she asked. Both jobs sounded like she could get to places, she hadn't visited before. And that was certainly what she wanted to do. Not immediately, of course. In all her years wandering around, she had learned that everything would work out in the end, if you had enough patience. There was nothing wrong with staying somewhere for a while and enjoying oneself. And on top of that, it was certainly nice to have a place to call home. Thinking about it, made her tear up a bit. “Well, you figure that I have a lot of agendas to further. Improving The Midnight Sun as a business, protecting and improving Isra, my own personal interests, as well as those of my friends and allies. To get things done, I need people to do them, and oftentimes, I need things done beyond the walls of Isra. In far-away nations, remote settlements, and sometimes the untamed wilderness.” “The job description would be mostly left general, but the basic idea behind that would be that I would give you a task, which would usually follow a format of “ Go to X location, and do Y task”. Sort of like the errand Cecil asked you to do, but on a much larger scale, and significantly less mundane than purchasing confections. You could use the term ‘ odd jobs’ if you’d like, but oftentimes they’re really more like ‘ missions’ or ‘ operations’. I already have a handful of individuals who do this sort of work, but your skills would be a significant and welcome addition, I’m sure. That, and you’d likely have the opportunity to learn from my other operatives, some of whom are very skilled.” "Ah, I see." she answered as Naoki described her agendas. Leona wasn't used to think about so many things at once. The only things she had to worry about were herself and Akanor. She couldn't even begin to imagine what brainpower it would need to take care of so many things at once. The mere thought made her head ache. "That sounds really good to me. I like these kind of jobs. They're simple, but you still need to adapt and the chance of learning something new is big. Ehhmm..." she said. She didn't really know how to ask this question. "Are there... ehm... are there any restrictions to ... what I am allowed to do? Let's say I have to obtain a piece of information and someone wants to hinder my investigation?" she asked, a little scared of what answer she would get. She wasn't reluctant to use violence on people, but she didn't do it just like that. She wasn't a ruthless killer.

Madame Naoki’s face within the orb shakes, signaling a negative answer.
“Not particularly, no. At least, none that I impose on you simply for morality’s sake. You may use whatever means you’d like, as so long as you follow Isranian law while you’re in Isra, don’t knowingly harm other employees, or prevent them from doing their jobs. I would prefer if- unless the task requires otherwise- you keep a low profile, and don’t needlessly kill or draw attention to yourself or your activities, but if you figure that the best way to accomplish whatever the goal is, and it doesn’t negatively impact anything else, you won’t hear any complaints from me.”

Age: 29
Physical Description: Elizabeth, or Liz, stands at about 5'9", weighing in at about 160lbs, most of it muscle from years of riding and fighting. She has platinum blonde hair, usually tied in a ponytail to fit inside her helmet. Her eyes are a vibrant shade of green that contrasts well with her tanned skin. She would be considered attractive if she ever removed her armor, otherwise her face is the only indication that underneath the iron discipline and plate armor is an attractive woman.
Clothes and Equipment: Liz wears a normal looking set of plate armor that is custom fitted for her specifically, and does not hide her gender. She wields a lance when mounted. Javelins are carried in her mounts saddle. Her mount is a young Griffin by the name of St. George, he is full grown in height, but does not yet have the full mass of a adult griffin. She wears plain clothes when not in armor and her shield bears the symbol of the Dawn Riders on it, and her breastplate bears the symbol of Isra on it. She wears a small necklace with a purple gemstone on it underneath her breastplate, only visible when she she is unarmored. Her sword has the insignia of the midnight sun engraved in the hilt, as it is relatively out of sight and does not violate the military dress code. Her primary weapon is her sword, an ancient Elven artifact passed down by her bloodline. It is wreathed in green lightning when unsheathed and wielded by her, and she has a sunmetal shield that complements it with magical abilities of its own.

“Mmmm. Hmm. That’s a tough call. On the one hand, you’re entirely correct. But on the other, I wouldn’t like to give the refugees the impression they’re moving from one oppressive government to a slightly less oppressive government, where any who display magical aptitude are carted off by the military and made to fight. ... Let The Enclave do their own recruitment, but if you happen to spot any individuals who display impressive skill or talent that might be useful to me, you might have them pulled aside and given a business card.” "Of course. That is all I have to report for now, is there anything else you need me to take care of while you are gone ma'am?"

Indil watches the hostess as she walks away, thinking idly that Skarlet's uniform is a far cry from her own well-worn leathers. After a mental shrug the Elf slips her longbow and quiver from her back and rests them against the table where the weapons would be close to hand but not interfering with foot traffic. Finally settling into the surprisingly comfortable chair with a soft sigh, Indil stretches her long legs under the table until her toes point and rolls her neck to ease the tension of a long day. A few soft pops and a final deep breath later, she leans forward to peruse the menu.
After a few moments' examination, Indil lifts her head to catch the hostess' eye. Once she approaches the table, Indil would greet Skarlet with another polite nod. "I'll have some of the Black Mountain and a mug of ale, if you please. Local brew, if you have any, would be fine."

“Excellent, I’m pleased to have you aboard, Leona. However, there are a couple more things that I ought to explain to you, and a few papers that you’ll need to sign to finalize your employment.”
Over the course of the next short while, Madame Naoki proceeds to explain a few things to Leona, and guides her through the process of filling out her portions of the employment and citizenship paperwork.
“Since I’m unable to sign those documents at present, your employment and citizenship will be somewhat provisional until I do. That shouldn’t be more than a few days, though, so you can consider them complete, for all intents and purposes. The last thing you’re going to need is one of the gemstones I mentioned. If you would be so kind as to stand up, and open the cabinet to your… right… I think. ... There’s only one cabinet in the room, just find it and open it. In there, in addition to the plates and cutlery and such, there should also be a small bowl filled with jewelry. Select one of those bits of jewelry, and it will be yours until you’d like to have something more personal made.”

With a smile on her face, Leona filled in all the details they wanted to know. It was fairly easy, although she didn't really know how to summarize her previous adventures briefly. One thing she didn't know, was her birth date. Well, she knew how many years ago she had been born. But her people didn't really care about the exact date. They also didn't celebrate it, like many other people did, she had met.
"Okay, so I think I'm done. Is it okay if I just fill in the year I was born? I don't really know the exact day." she asked.
She then walked to the indicated cabinet on her right and looked at the pieces of jewelry. Damn, it wasn't easy to decide which one would be best for her. A bracelet? But she was wearing gloves and a gauntlet. Ring? Same problem. A pendant? That could work. She wasn't really a fan of sticking stuff through her ears or face. So she grabbed a necklace with it's chain made of fine silvery metal and the purple gemstone, formed like a ... well she couldn't describe it with words.
She put it on and went back to the crystal ball on the table.
"Done!" she said smiling, confidently displaying the necklace, hands on her hips, waiting for Madame Naoki to approve.

“Yes, if you don’t know any of the information, simply put a few question marks.”
As Leona moves back into her view with the necklace, Madame Naoki nods approvingly from the crystal ball.
“Excellent, it looks good on you. Like I mentioned, wearing it enables telepathic communication with anyone else wearing one. For example, I have this earring…”
Naoki tilts her head downward to display the purple gemstone pinned to her right ear. After giving Leona a moment to understand that it’s there, she sits back up and begins to speak again, “I’m going to utilise it now to speak with you telepathically. If you can’t quite hear, try pressing the gemstone up against your skin.”
With that, Naoki shuts her mouth, maintains eye contact, and makes her voice heard directly through the telepathic connection.
“Testing. Testing. Hello. I realize that this may be a bit strange if you’ve never utilised any sort of telepathy before, but it’s not as difficult as all that once you get the hang of it; the enchantment does most of the heavy lifting. To respond, simply consider the individual who you’d like to communicate with in your mind’s eye, which is in this case me, and try to think at me."

Leona squeaked from joy. "Thank you! Yes I did understand that, although I have never had a telepathic conversation before." she said.
So Naoki had an earring. Interesting. She didn't seem to be reluctant to mutilate her body in that way. But it did look beautiful.
"Oh. Okay." she said and concentrated, not knowing what would happen. Leona had tried to prepare herself, but still winced as she heard the voice of Madame Naoki in her head. Wow, that was really unsettling. She hoped, that she couldn't read her thoughts or anything the like.
She did as she was told and squinched her eyes shut, trying to see Naoki's head in her mind's eyes and thinking as clearly as she could.
"Does. It. Work?" she thought and opened her eyes to see if there was any reaction on Madame Naoki's end.

Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.
Allegiances: The Isran Empire

The face in the orb nods, and madame Naoki speaks again, “It does, yes. Though it seems like this isn’t exactly the most comfortable thing for you right now, it never really is at first. Once you’re used to it though, it tends to become second nature and immensely convenient. To be able to instantly speak directly to any of your associates, privately, over any distance? It’s such an immensely useful ability, beyond my words to quantify. We wouldn’t be in the position we are today if not for these gems, and the immeasurable advantage they confer. You should take some of your spare time, to practice using yours, perhaps have some pleasant chat with Cecil.”
Not intending to overload Leona with prolonged mental communication, Naoki switches back to speaking traditionally through the orb.
“Anyway, that finalises your employment. Welcome to The Midnight Sun, Leona. I intend to shake your hand when we meet properly. Your first round of pay will come this upcoming Friday, and I’ll arrange a room for you on the second floor sometime before tomorrow night. That leaves me with just two more questions, I believe. First, is there anything that you need? To expect you to do your job properly, it’s my job to make sure you’re outfitted and armed appropriately. Secondly, when would you like to start? I have a task here that should be to your liking, and you could depart tomorrow morning. However, if you’d like to spend more time familiarizing yourself with the city, I would understand entirely and assign someone else.”

Yeah, she could agree with that. Hearing strange voices in her head wasn't something she was overly fond of. It was pretty uncomfortable, but she could get used to it.
And she definitely agreed with the fact, that it would be incredibly convenient, once she got used to it. Talking to others just by thinking words at them? Amazing! She could stay in her bed all day and order food from Skarlet or Cecil. That would be good practice, right?
"Oh, thank you so much! I am really excited." she said. Wow, she was getting paid already? She hadn't done anything as of yet and still. And her own personal room within the Midnight Sun. Sounded too good to be true.
"Hmmm. Well I wanted to visit a smith and buy a shield. But I'd say there won't be enough time for that, if I wanted to accept the job. Buuuut... I could order one and retrieve it when I come back. That would be perfect. And it would leave the smith with enough time to finish it. Good equipment takes time to make. So, I will accept the task." she declared.
There would be enough time to explore the city. This was her home now.

Imud Habrua

Roleplay posts: 27
Physical Description: A frail looking, wiry man. His skin is tan and wrinkled. An accent shows him to from a foreign land. What hair he once had has mostly retreated and what is left has lost any semblance of the dark black color it once held. The whitened hair and slim appearance make him seem almost frail. Give Imud a worthy project though, and he seems to revitalize in his eagerness to work the forges.
Clothes and Equipment: mud wears the most humble of garments, little more than sacks, and the heavy gloves necessary to do his work. He also wears a bland pair of spectacles, necessary for both the protection they provide, as well as an aide to keep up the with the finer details of his work in his advancing age.

The blacksmith was now fully invigorated, at least for the next 15 minuets. The original price was fair, but Imud dickered over the price out of some misguided sense to feel in control of his fine craft one last time before it left his possession. Settling on a slightly higher price Imud concluded the bussiness quickly, for the effects of the dragon dust were already wearing off. He took the sake of tokens and made his way to where the receptionist was. At Cecil's desk he said, "This old man needs a room. A nice one. And I would like a hot bath ready. I left my wagon and horses tethered out front. You can take care of them, yes? I'll also be wanting to conduct some business. I have a list of rare materials that I am to old to procure. A quest of sorts may be in order."

Cecil nods, and places a hand over his ring. It glows brightly for a moment, before he removes his hand and addresses Imud. None of the tongue-in-cheek flirting he had used with Leona, his tone is strictly polite and businesslike.
“I’ve just had a hot bath stared for you in room four, sir. As a suite, it’ll be two Suns per night. Your horses and wagon will be brought around to the stables on the right side of the building and kept in good care until you come for them.”
“As for your quest, there’s a bulletin board on the wall just outside the doors to the Inn, and I have some writing materials here. I would suggest writing your quest on there, and posting it for all to see. Lots of those limber, adventuring sorts come through here, and I think you could expect a large number of capable individuals to see it, and a fair few to give it a go, if the reward is high enough.”
From a cabinet behind him, Cecil obtains a few sheets of blank paper, a quill, and a small bottle of ink, which he sets on the counter. Then turning to the wall of keys behind him, Cecil selects a brass key embedded with a small emerald in the handle. He places it next to the paper and looks to Imud for two Suns.

"Let me pay for a week in advance, then." Imud plunked two Eclipses onto the counter and went about writing down the items he would need. 1 giant squid: 1 Nova dead, 5 Nova alive
1 lesser being of fae, alive: 3 Nova
Mist from the Misty Forest: 3 Eclipse
Ash created from dragons fire: 1 Eclipse
Gloriosa flowers, maigically preserved: 1 Eclipse
Black Valheecius sand: 5 suns per pound
Troll Scull: 3 Eclipse
Astrotime ore: 5 suns per pound unrefined, 1 Eclipse per pound refined
Crystals imbued with natural magic: Variable
The fresh corpse of a dragon: Negotiable
That ought to do it. The craftsman mouth salivated at the thought of working with such fine materials. He did not expect to find them all, but he did Imud might have to find work in the city to pay the rewards.

Indil watches the hostess as she walks away, thinking idly that Skarlet's uniform is a far cry from her own well-worn leathers. After a mental shrug the Elf slips her longbow and quiver from her back and rests them against the table where the weapons would be close to hand but not interfering with foot traffic. Finally settling into the surprisingly comfortable chair with a soft sigh, Indil stretches her long legs under the table until her toes point and rolls her neck to ease the tension of a long day. A few soft pops and a final deep breath later, she leans forward to peruse the menu. After a few moments' examination, Indil lifts her head to catch the hostess' eye. Once she approaches the table, Indil would greet Skarlet with another polite nod. "I'll have some of the Black Mountain and a mug of ale, if you please. Local brew, if you have any, would be fine." Skarlet returns to take Indil's order. "Alright, I'll be with you promptly with your food and drink" She tells Maelik's cooking staff the order and get the ale, she would return carrying it on a platter in hand. "Here's your Black Mountain, miss." The hostess does the bunny dip(so that she isn't bending over) to place the contents of the platter on the table. First was the plate with the roasted chicken, still steaming from the hell fire of Maelik's kitchen, with the vegetables and the half loaf of bread laid around the chicken in a uniform and eye-pleasing manner. Then the gravy boat for the customer to pour as they wish on their meal. Finally Skarlet places down the mug of ale. "Enjoy!"
