Alden Marshal
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,420 
Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

Alden walks into the Sun and wonders where to start. Did he try and threaten the twins first? Or talk to Naoki first? He wasn't sure what the proper procedure was for settling disputes. All things considered though, he wasn't good at intimidation. He was an assassin, if he had someone at knife point he killed them. He would rather avoid stabbing the twins, so his decision was made. He walks to Empress Naoki's door and knocks urgently. |

A short while after Alden storms in, the twins walk inside and sit down at the bar. After getting their usual glasses of milk from the bartender, they pull out the mockingbird they bought and start training it to speak.
"Hello!"
"Squawk!"
"Hello!"
"Squawk!"
"Hello!"
"...Hello!"
"Yay!"
It sounds just like us.
Perfect.
And it's got nice, feathery wings, too.
Ooh, I wish we could see the look on her face.
This'll be good.
Now, what else should we teach it?
Hmm...

Physical Description: Reese is a very skeletal man, albeit one dressed to impress. He has a very wide grin, as would be expected of a person whose face lacks a skin. His bones are well-polished indeed, sometimes catching and reflecting a bit of light. This is possibly achieved with a bit of glaze, as normal skeletons are rather dull and lackluster.
Clothes and Equipment: Reese is always dressed in an immaculate suit, complete with a fine ironwood walking stick. A small chain hangs out of a jacket pocket. Were one to yank it out, they would find an elaborate medallion bearing a single, glowing, silver-etched eye.

Reese's fingers sparked as magical energy surged between them, little arcs creating rather loud zapping and popping noises. He'd been working on those gemstones a bit more, trying his hardest to weave in spells that could potentially be somewhat useful. The few gems in a pile on the side of his desk were a testament to his success, and the much larger heap of shattered, darkened crystal on the floor beside him a testament to his failures.
The one he was currently working on quickly went the way of the latter. There was a sharp hiss, immediately followed by an ear-splitting bang! The chunk shattered, sending tiny little shards pinging all over his room.
As a single finger fished splinters out of his eye sockets, Reese sighed. It was a delicate process to be sure, but... Hmm, what's this?
In a mirror to the side, the lich saw Alden knocking on Naoki's door. A flick of the wrist sent the array spinning, another mirror with another view coming into view. As he though, the Madame was still downstairs.
Reese heaved his sack of bones out of the nice, comfy chair he spent most of his time in and bumbled over to his door, whistling all the while. It was promptly opened, a skull peeping out into the hall.
"Mr. Alden! Good to see you again. If you're looking for the Madame, I believe she's still downstairs."
He started to retreat back into his office, but thought better of it. The skull poked out once more.
"Do watch out for the seventh stairstep, will you? I'm reasonably sure it's cursed."

The doors of the Midnight Sun were practically blown off their hinges as Maelik charged on in with a happy little grin and a spring to his step. Immediately he noticed the two twins at the bar and his smile widened even further. He had just the thing for them.
Sneaking up in a not so sneaky way the demon would creep up to the twins and grab the pair of them by a shoulder.
"How are my precious little girls doing today?" he beamed jollily. "Guess what I've got for you?"
With that he produced two enormous chocolate chip cookies, each roughly the size of a grown man's head and still quite warm.
"I baked them special on my way through Hell just for you! Providing you've both been good while I was gone."

The twins jump up and hug Maelik.
"Hey, Mr. Maelik!"
They take the cookies and start eating them happily.
"We've been good. Look, we got a bird!"
The mockingbird looks up at Maelik.
"Hello!"
Its voice is surprisingly similar to the twins'.
"It talks! We taught it to talk!"

One of the patrons, in the dress of a centurion, glared at Maelik and pushed aside his plate. He was outwardly displeased but inwardly relieved by the Demonlord's return. More demons meant more sin and debauchery meant more Hell...
Except this guy was from the wrong Hell, damn it! In order to instill the correct sin, some of the right Hell's very own tempters would need to step to the plate. Until then, High Command would remain unhappy with Davous's gambit... which would make them unhappy with the Generals. While it was certainly good to see that no demons had been killed while working here, it was bad to see that this one continued to live.
Maybe it was time to introduce succubus serving girls, or something. Tortus could certainly arrange that. He glanced back at his meal and pulled it just an inch back, as if deciding better of his decision to waste a perfectly good dish.

Davous entered the Sun for a drink and maybe a small meal. It had been a long day. He had earlier went over some good spells, then had a large breakfast. He had a run-in with those goons... or was that the day before? Then he went out to the graveyard. Graveyards are nice, peaceful places, despite the connotations attached. Of course, being a necromancer, Davous is where those connotations come from. He tried to raise a skeleton army.
Then Demon General Viktor bashed his head on a tombstone. He fell asleep for a while. When Davous had awakened, blood was caked on his temple and he was lying in a damned grave! That's when he went back to the Midnight Sun.
Davous now selected a table and looked over the menu, deciding what new item he would try today, courtesy of his employers. Just when he had settled on a dish and made an attempt to call over a waitress, however, Davous saw him. Demon General Tortus. Of the two, this general was not the sadist and cold "investigator" that Viktor was. On the whole, it could be said that Tortus was nicer: he had a sense of honor -- devil's honor it may be -- and was far more straightforward than the cunning Viktor. Still, Davous did not want a confrontation.
Davous left the Midnight Sun without having a drink or a small meal. It had been a long day. He was not going to risk an encounter with a demon. Someplace else could feed him, damn it.

"Thank you Reese."
Not sure if Reese had meant the seventh stair from the bottom, or the seventh stair from the top, skips both on his way down. Once downstairs he find Naoki, who looks like she is about to depart.
"Excuse me Madame, may I talk to you for a minute. I have a problem, and I think it's best I speak to you about it first."

Empress Naoki

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.

Naoki turns to listen to Alden as he speaks, and nods. Rather solemnly, in fact. A lot of people approach her with problems throughout the day. A lot of problems, of varying severities. A supplier failing to deliver their goods on time, an accident in the kitchen, a dragon nearly eating Kate. The severity of the problem, she found, could usually be approximated by assessing the one informing her, and the tone of voice they use.
And, by this approximation, something terrible must be happening. Alden hasn’t ever approached her with a problem, and he hardly seems the sort to complain about the status of his bed-linens, or some other trivial matter. And, if he had felt the need to approach her about it, it must not only be terrible, but also large! Some problem too large for him to deal with personally.
The rest of her potatoes find themselves left there on the table, abandoned; as with a polite excuse and a great deal of shimmying, Naoki slides over Raulio’s lap, out of the booth to stand next to Alden. She assumes that whatever he has to say probably shouldn’t be stated outright in the middle of the bar, and glances about for somewhere quiet to sit.
Conveniently enough, one of the adjacent booths has been cleared out over the course of their meal, and is now sitting clean and vacant. She gestures toward it, suggesting that they sit, and then does so herself. Leaning forward to extend an arm under the table, Naoki locates the rune of silence, and taps it into activation. The symbol on the tabletop begins to glow, and the noises of the outside bar fade away as the rune enters full operation. She straightens, waits for Alden and Artemis to be seated, realizes the top button of her coat is still undone, and re-buttons it before addressing Alden.
“What seems to be the issue, Alden?”
She speaks quietly- no more than whispers are required within the operational range of the silencing rune. To speak at a regular volume would seem quite loud.

Maelik gave the two of them a near backbreaking hug in return before ruffling the twins' hair. The bird thingakawhatsis was a strange sight for him though, and when it spoke it genuinely intrigued the demon, especially when it could mimic voices so perfectly. Something like that could have its uses...
"Now that is astonishing! I'd assume with two bright kids such as yourselves that teaching it how to do that wasn't too hard. Do you have a name for the little guy?"
Should the twins somehow finish the first two cookies he'd produce two more, these ones being peanut butter cookies.
"Where did you pick such a curious little thing up at anyway?"

Alden follows Madame Naoki silently. His normal grin has been replaced, his expression now a cross between determination and concern. When he is invited to speak he starts to say something and stops. He frowns, and thinks for a silent minute. He wasn't quite certain how to make this request. Eventually though he makes a decision.
"I will just explain what happened, and you can make your own choices."
After saying this, Alden thinks for another minute. He hadn't given a report in a while, and he wasn't sure what Naoki would consider relevant. Hell he wasn't sure what was relevant this was a personal matter, not a professional one.
"I recently made a friend, she is new in town, and just opened her business. Her name is Moonflower Two-Winds, proprietor of Lone Wolf Creations. This afternoon, I was walking by her shop and noticed a broken window. This concerned me so I went inside, to ensure her well being. According to the client, the twins Lorelei & Lucia."
Alden subtly nods in the direction of the twins, who are still speaking to Maelik. He seems unaware that he just referred to his friend as a client.
"The threats, broke into the clients shop last night, and made an attempt on her life. The client managed to drive them away, and the threats broke the window when they fled. The client is concerned they may return and attempt to kill her again. I will not allow that to happen."
His voice which, to this point, had been placid takes on a tone of fierce determination with his last statement. When he starts to speak again he manages to return to his flat, level voice.
"I brought this matter to you, in the hopes that you could facilitate a peaceful resolution. I also wished to advise you that if this cannot be solved peacefully, I will eliminate the threats."

Her demeanor is such that she blends seamlessly into the background of any situation when her services are not required.

Artemis follows Madame Naoki to the next booth, and seats herself beside the other woman, on the side next to the main floor. She sits there, placidly, during the conversation, all but fading into the background. An astute observer would notice, however, that her hands are on the table, and her legs, while appearing relaxed, are in a position that could rapidly hurl her into motion with a thought.
The reason for this preparation was simple - Artemis didn't particularly trust Alden. Well, she didn't trust most people, but her level of distrust dipped below ambivalence in his case. As a self-proclaimed assassin, a claim backed by his behavior, the fact that he was still alive meant that he was dangerous. Additionally, he didn't seem like the most stable individual, which introduced a lethal element of uncertainty into his actions. One wrong assumption would get you killed, in this business. Whether he was dangerous to them remained to be seen, but Naoki and she hadn't survived this long by getting complacent or taking risks.

Her tone remains serious “It was good of you to bring this matter to my attention before anyone got hurt, and fortunate that you had the opportunity to do so. The solution that I’m going to install is simple. There won’t be any murder. Not on the part of the twins, and not on your part to remove them as threats. If the twins were to be killed, Hasdrubal would be upset. And Hasdrubal, as much ire as he brings me, is useful. Useful, and dangerous. I’m not going to allow this conflict to escalate any further into any more animosity within the family.” “I’m going to call the twins over, and speak with them. Regardless of how the conversation turns out, they will not be permitted to take any further hostile actions against Miss Moonflower. If I have to have them arrested, or detained, imprisoned or otherwise incapacitated, so be it. But I can’t have them running about killing people, and they will not be permitted to do so, as long as I have the capability to stop them. And they’re two little girls. My capabilities far outstrip the likes of them.” “In our conversation, I’d like to ask that you play along with what I’m going to say, and try your best not to reach across the table and slit their throats if they say something that displeases you. If that’s what really needs to be done, alright, I recognize that sometimes there’s only one option, but please allow me to exhaust all other avenues and make that call before you do anything with permanent circumstances. I’m taking responsibility for this issue, and if any action needs to be taken against the twins, I’ll have Artemis do it. I encourage you to stick around to see the end of this, but you’ve already made the correct decision in bringing it to me, so please let me handle the matter from here." With that said, Madame Naoki cranes her head around to glance at the twins, sitting at the bar behind her, speaking with Maelik. She flicks her ear, and speaks to Maelik The Fellblade telepathically. As she sends the message, she waves in Maelik’s direction, attempting to indicate her position.
"Could you send the twins over to booth sixteen, when you’re finished with them? I need to speak with them."Next, she turns back around, slides farther into the booth, and addresses Alden. “Here, come around and sit on this side of the booth, next to Artemis, so the twins can sit on that side.” If Alden agrees, and moves in the suggested way, that would leave the three of them, Alden, Artemis and Naoki on one side of the booth, with Alden in the outermost seat, and Naoki against the wall, separated by Artemis, and would leave the other side of the booth vacant, to allow the twins to be seated facing the others. |

Alden Marshal
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,420
Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

"To clarify, I wouldn't slit their throats. The most effective means of eliminating the... twins, would be poison."
Alden gets up, moves to the other side of the table, and sits next to Artemis. He had noted her ready stance, and the tension in her body. He suspected that the addition of the twins, and his increased proximity would increase her weariness. He thought about trying to help, by explaining she didn't need to worry about him. He decided against it though. She wouldn't believe him, and if he tried to explain why, it would probably make things worse.
You don't need to worry about me killing Naoki right now. If I had to kill her, it wouldn't be in the sun, and you wold be long dead.
The unsaid thought almost makes Alden chuckle. The reaction it would provoke might get him killed, that was how bad he was at reassuring people.

"We'll call him..."
The twins think for a moment.
Buckle?
Barley?
Barney?
Barnaby?
Fizzy?
Stuffy?
Wilson?
Fred?
Marty?
Snowball?
Harper?
Eclair?
Yeah, that sounds good.
They look up to Maelik, grinning.
"Eclair!"

"Eclair eh? That's cute as a button," he said with a grin of his own. "So I assume that you picked this up from a store yes? Or did Reese magic it up for you?"
He was going to ask more pointed questions about what the bird actually was in perhaps ask them to do a small favor for him but Naoki's telepathic message interrupted his train of thought.
"Hmmm... Well girls it seems that your presence is requested." He squinted and looked around the establishment until he caught sight of Naoki's distinctly curvaceous form and pointed in her direction.
"Apparently the Madame wishes to speak with you so be on your best behavior, if I don't here any complains or sighs or the like then I'll give you each a toy."
With a playful little rump pat he'd send the twins on their way, carefully watching their progress and staring intently at their destination. He may not be able to hear what was being said over there but he knew for a fact that the twins would only be called for a talk if they were in some kind of trouble. Maelik happened to like the twins, they were like the daughters never had, and as it stood he wasn't pleased that they were no doubt about to be given some form of reprimand. But he didn't express it with words, or even with a telepathic message. No, his narrowed crimson glare was all it took to get his message across to anyone at that table.
Be nice.

"We bought him at the bazaar."
The twins finish their cookies and head over to Naoki, smiling sweetly.
Well well.
Haven't seen her in a while.
I wonder what it could possibly be.
They sit down across the table from Naoki, their hands folded in their laps. Staring blankly at her, they ask:
"What is it, Miss Naoki?"
Eclair the mockingbird lands on Lucia's head.
"Hello!"

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.
Allegiances: The Isran Empire

“… Hello.” Naoki acknowledges Eclair with a raised eyebrow, before addressing the twins. “So, girls. I’ve called you over here because we have a little bit of an issue on our hands. Alden tells me that last night, an attempt was made on the life of a Miss 'Moonflower Làidir ’, whom Alden is favorably acquainted with. The issue lies in that Alden would really rather she not be dead, and that the two of you seem to have tried to kill her- or so she says, at least. Not to mention that homicide is a blatant violation of Isranian law, which the two of you agreed not to break in your contracts. Do you have anything to say for yourselves? Would you like to deny that you attempted to murder Miss Moonflower?” She speaks with gravitas, and even though the words themselves are questioning, the tone isn’t interrogative, and not unkind. |

"Oh dear."
The twins sound apologetic, but they look smiley and sweet. Something about them seems to radiate innocence, as though they could never possibly do anything so evil.
Look at her. So formal.
She's funny.
She's got ears and a tail, just like a cat!
They look so fluffy.
I want to tweak them.
We probably shouldn't.
They look up at Naoki and smile.
"We won't do it again, Miss Naoki."
Eclair flutters down and lands on Lorelei's shoulder.
