| Early Morning Start- Greg |
[13 Jun 2012|02:04pm] |
They had been driving all night. Well she had she was sure Greg had slept. It was just after sunrise when she decided that she needed to pull into a rest stop. There was an old fashioned looking dinner, a big looking rest room, and a gas station.
She needed coffee so badly so she parked the car and let out a groan. She might need a hand getting out of the car at this point.
"Mornin' Greg," she grumbles trying to not face plant on the steering wheel. Once she has coffee and something terrible for her she'll feel better.

| Tickle a Sleeping Dragon (Plot) |
[10 Mar 2012|06:27pm] |
1) The Order of Robin Goodfellow accidently wakes up a very old dragon. They are forced to flee from his wrath at being woken up by tasty crunchy mortals and in the process wake up a second dragon.
Together these two dragons decide that it is time to wake up their fellows because humanity has grown too large for their own good.
2) Dragons attacks! Several recently woken dragons attack prominent places across the globe.
One attacks Tokyo Tower.
Another Rodeo Drive.
One invades Boston Harbor.
New York City gets attacked by one.
And a big dragon tries to take over Seattle as it likes the city for some reason.
Each dragon is defeated but not without trouble. Whoever happens to be in the city when it is attacked can join in.
3) A second dragon attacks the Defenders compound. This time it was sent there by Loki who bribed it with a gold chalice.
The Defenders win this fight as well and decide to find out why the dragons are active.
4) With the help of other teams they find the big elder dragon and the team leaders try to get it to stop waking dragons up.
The elder is Fafnir and tries to refuse ad attack so they are forced to fight it to a stand still forcing the dragon to agree to go back into hibernation. This stops the other Norse dragons from waking up.

A literal closet monster tried to hurt me when I was really little,. Grandpa Angus had to deal with it while I clung like heck to my Mom.

Same as above.
9. Did you ever try drinking, drugs, or both? What all have you tried? Were you ever caught?
I snuck my Dad's beers whenever I could as a kid. I always got caught. One time I tried a cigar. Puked all over from t so I ain't ever smoking again.

| Tyler- Fluff-Confessions |
[22 Jan 2012|07:55pm] |
Oh poor Tyler. They had just broken up what amounted to a magical drug lavatory. The others had been just fine. Rita not so much because she was more human than the rest of them magically speaking. So she needed help getting home while she was still pretty much 'drunk' for lack of a better term.
At least she had agreed to let him be the one to drive her bike. She was a bit slow to get off her bike once they got to where her apartment is and is rubbing her face. She gets a little tired if she's had too much to drink and that's what this feels like to her.
"Yeah no. Don't think I want to go through that again... I'm glad we shut that place down given the other stuff they were making."

| Jo and Rita- Bondage -Meme |
[22 Jan 2012|12:37pm] |
Rita is taking her hair down as they both invade more space in her apartment.
"Seriously, thanks for the assist in that last fight Jo." She stops when she realizes that several things were going to happen tonight. Somehow that had involved agreeing that rope might be fun.
Then also pointing out she had lots of other things. Huh, and she hadn't even asked for a date. Jo must be good at talking her into things.
"Um. Do you want some beer or wine, first?"

| Rita and Greg- Fight |
[22 Jan 2012|12:06pm] |
Rita was trying so hard to not be pissed off at Greg, again. He's normally a nice guy but lately it felt like all they did was fight. It wasn't loud and explosive like she expected it to be every time he got that look in his eyes like he was annoyed with her. It was calm and logical. They both kept defending themselves a little too well against each other.
And he was starting to get that look again. Like he was going to bring it up again and she was tired of it.
"I'm going for a walk," she says out loud as she tugs on a heavier jacket so she doesn't freeze when she goes outside. She doesn't even look at Greg this time.
But she did forget her satchel. She normally doesn't set foot anywhere without it.

| Just one night |
[30 Nov 2011|01:08am] |
She had parked her bike in a place it would be safe over night and took a travel bag with her for obvious reasons. Vincent had brought her to the Baxter building for their 'encounter'. She was glad to be out of the chilly night air and some place warm as the elevator took them up. Very briefly before the elevator stops her hand goes up to her hair but she decides that she will allow Vincent to take care of that once they are in his room. He did seem rather interested in unlacing the corset she was in after all.
The elevator slides to a stop and now they're on the way to his room. Deciding to get a quick preview though before they get to his room she turns him and presses her mouth against his quickly. Vincent will just have to deal with having a very forward woman tonight.

[04 Nov 2011|06:50pm] |
And she needed a break from her usual haunts tonight. It had been rough dealing with some nastier stuff this past week and Rita just wanted some down time. Somehow she found herself in a club.
A jazz club to be exact. She got some weird looks with her bright red dyed hair and the black streaks running through it. The way she dressed got a few more but she was a confident person who was able to just smile her way though anything.
She ordered a drink and sat with her back pressed against the bar and watched the band playing. The music wasn't her normal heavy metal stuff that helped her think and order her thoughts but this was actually pretty good. The different kind of good.

Player (nickname, handle)/ LJ: Beth
Email: emadonna04@alumniunity.edu
AIM (if you have one): Chappaiguardian
Character Name: Rita Dermont 'Alchemist'
Character LJ (if applicable): artofcreation
Physical description (face, build, weight): Rita is a tall fit young woman standing a little shy of six feet tall. She dyes her red and often will pair it off in dark streaks. She also tends to wear various kinds or corsets and the like. She enjoys theming her clothes to look steam punkish and will even wear her goggles as a fashion acessory.
Age: 21
Birthday: October 31
PB: (If using one.) Nephania
Abilities: Genius level intellect. Rita is highly gifted in alchemy. She also has skill with an enchanted sword that allows her to damage supernatural evil. She also has a pair of goggles that allow her to see magical energy and amulets that she wears that keep her from falling under the thrall of most enchantment spells meant to bewitch the mind and senses.
She also can make magic 'bombs' that work much like grenades with different effects depending on the kind of magic she stores in it during creation.
Fire: Like a normal grenade.
Water: Something that freezes things.
Light: Blinds people. Can harm vampires as it simulates the sun.
Wind: A sound burst.
She has a connection to Universal magic through her blood line and her ability to use it to empower items with magic.
She has one of the Wakefield Falchions. (This is the sword that lets her damage magical creatures.)
The amulets help ward her mind against being invaded by fortifying her mind. These though need to be recharged weekly.
Weaknesses and flaws: She has all weaknesses of a normal human. She also has a somewhat naive outlook on things and so can easily be tricked without magic with enough effort.
Many of her magical items are expensive to make. It her amulets are removed her mind is more open to suggestion than other people's minds who deal in the magical world as she has no real defense.
She is also afraid of vampires as they make her feel helpless.
Character location/Home: Seattle
Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero /Nightstalkers or Midnight Sons
Relatives (living/dead?): Angus Dermont (Grandfather, living), Brutus Dermont (Father, living), Marian Dermont( Mother, living)
Backstory: Rita grew up a pretty normal life. She was always interested in the occult and was fairly curious about anything and everything she could get her hands on. She wasn't sure if it was real or not. Then her grandfather opened her eyes to their family heritage. As it turned out they came from a blood line of people. He trained her heavily from the age of 12 until she was ready to go away to college. She decided she had to find out more without her grandfather's strict rules on what she could and couldn't during her first year of college in Seattle she went looking for whatever she could find. Most of her experiences were good others not so much.
She got bitten by a vampire. She doesn't remember who saved her just that they did and that she was terrified of getting caught like that again. So she started looking for things she could do. She also confessed to her grandfather what happened so he gave her the Wakefield Falchion and told her if she was going to be curious he better be protected.
She studied under further her grandfather for three more years as his student. During this time and under his direction she learned to make the amulets and magic bombs she enjoys using. She also learned more about the magical world through him.
Then she swore she'd make sure no one else ever woke up feeling that helpless ever again.
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: Some kind of Midnight Sons or Nightstalkers plot. If not that her dealing with some supernatural mooks in Seattle.
What are you planning to do with this character? I want to see her as a magical researcher and sort of like a team weapon smith along with her sword play. I haven't heard much on the others ideas but it would be nice to see her lowly make friends with the team and start to really bond with them.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: I'd love for her fear of vampires to get played with. Other than that I want to have her fight back against the more evil supernatural things out there.
