Antagonists (Rharne Edition)
Posted: Wed Jun 23, 2021 4:55 pm
Every story needs a villain, right?
If you have claimed a Calendar Event, Bounty, Odd Job, etc - if you have a story you're telling in Rharne - then you're going to need an antagonist! This is where you can quick-dev one for your RP pleasure.
Use this thread to create NPC antagonists. They might be one-off story pieces, or they might be someone you think of and just submit here. This will allow consistency between players and will mean that you can have more skilled NPCs than the usual "faceless" ones being played consistently without needing to go through the full approval process.
As long as the NPC meets the requirements / restrictions below, you may play them immediately and don't need to wait for approval. They should be submitted before the thread starts, however, you just don't need to wait for approval. Also - please still be aware that Rharne is a place with a military and laws etc. Please play within the context of Rharne, and don't go overboard. Maybe your new arch-nemesis is below!
The Antagonists are sorted by Role - as in the Role they will play in the movie of your PCs life.

Name: Lasvika Aslani
Race/ Age / Gender: Naerikk / 70s / Female
Location: Rharne (Roams the Dust and Earth quarter)
Submitted by: Rozkia
Role: Staring - Poison Dealer
Skills:
Master: Torture
Expert: Medicine, Deception, Stealth, Resistance
Competent: Science, Intelligence, Larceny
Personality / Quirks: Lasvika is the quiet sort - deathly quiet. She rarely emotes and rarer still is hearing her speak with much less of anything but a monotone. She's constantly bored in appearance and action, though that's hardly the truth. Lasvika has been exiled from Augiery - not that she tells anyone. Despite this, she was given a chance to return, but only if she proved she was worthy of her homes' soil once more. She's vengeful and spiteful, scorned and bitter too. But she's controlled, precise, and sticks to her goals above all else. She only recently arrived in the city, but she's already integrating herself in the shadows. Lasvika speaks very basic common, often times her words are mixed with Grovokian if she doesn't know the word in common. She has a habit of gesturing which few will recognize as Euthic sign. Whatever her reasons for are for being in Rharne she holds little interest in making connections outside of the required ones for her profession. She's focused on revenge and shaping a certain Naer into a fine soldier that will cut down her enemies and restore her honor so that she may return to her true home.

The Fashionable Socialite
Name: Lady Vanessa MacBride
Race/ Age / Gender: Human/28/Female
Location Rharne (Glass Quarter)
Submitted by Tristan Venora
Role: Starring
Skills: Master Cosmetology, Expert Socialization, Expert Seduction, Expert Intelligence, Competent Detection, Competent Discipline, Competent Etiquette
Personality / Quirks Since taking up residence in the Glass Quarter in Ymiden 721, Lady MacBride has quickly become the most popular, most fashionable and most sought after socialite in Rharne.
She is aware of the newest fashion trends - sometimes, she does in fact know that something will become a trend before anybody else. She is a seductress and seeks the company of men, famous men to be exact. She can be quite direct, outrageous even, but she is never slutty, and she is definitely not one of those vapid pretty women that are common in certain circles. On the contrary, she has a keen mind, and a knack for finding things out.
Lady MacBride likes literature and music - she is well-educated - but there are two things that she intensely dislikes: children and pets. Children are loud and annoying and uncontrollable and just get in the way, and cats and dogs leave their hair everywhere so that they can get on your clothes. That is, as far as Lady MacBride is concerned, absolutely unacceptable!

- In your review request - you must link to this thread - showing your submission of the NPC here. These NPCs do not follow the usual rules and our Peer Reviewers need to know that you are playing to your skills.
- Consider these "flavour" NPCs. They follow the same rules as flavour NPCs , but with more skills than usual flavour NPCs.
- The same rules for story as Flavour NPCs apply. You can meet them, see them in passing, notice them in a bar, etc. If, however, an NPC becomes a significant part of your story, then they should be submitted as a city NPC.
- Please use them in a way which makes story sense for their level of experience.
- Remember that not all antagonists are villains.
- Remember that not all antagonists are warriors.
- In the course of your adventures, should you vanquish one of these foes, please resubmit them with the updated information and a link to where you killed them, and they will be immortalized in the Cutting Room Floor.

Massive thanks to Pegasus, whose idea this is - both for having the idea, and for letting me steal it so shamelessly.
