Daria Damsel Pioneer of Poached Cooking  Daria Damsel (that's dam-SEL) had started as your standard Michelin Chef. She collected ingredients, fended off sous skeletons, wrangled oven golems. You know, normal things. She was a fine assistant, but no one remembered her, and she never made her mark in the world. But boring mediocrity never sat well with her. She knew she needed something of her own to really make a splash. Inspiration struck at the Axis regional cook off. Daria was merely a caterer for the event, providing refreshments while the people watched the main events, the best in food prepared in small portions for the highborn judges. The kitchens were a bustle, with people coming and going, and Daria noticed someone had misplaced a package. She checked it quietly. Capobelas Steak! And beautifully marbled! It must have been delivered to the wrong place, but Daria realized, this could be her chance. In moments she had filleted the steak, grabbed some of the spices off the rack, made a spread of lettuce, and got to work. When she was done, she took her secret dish to the streets outside, and shouted at the top of her lungs. "Come one, come all! Eat like a king, for just one day! Thrill, for this is a once in a lifetime chance to taste Capobelas, poached from the very larders of the Crusader!" It was a hit. People flocked to her, and the dish was delicious, and all the tastier because it had been taken from those snooty highborn. Of course, Daria was chased from the city not long after by furious guards and chefs, but the potential was there. Daria had found how she was going to change the world. Thus Daria Damsel became the first master of the Poached School of Cooking. Whether it's the ingredients, the tools, or the kitchen, something in the dish did not actually belong to Daria. She told others she brought fantastic tastes to those who would never otherwise try them. Others said she stole other people's hard work. Regardless, she was showing no signs of quitting her new style. Only time would tell if she could make something of it in the future. Icon Relationships: Prince of Shadows Positive 1: Taking the best, the unwanted, the hidden, the carefully guarded, and making them into an exciting new dish? Right up the Prince of Shadow's alley. The Crusader Negative 1: Only one person will consistently have the best ingredients in the world, and that is the Crusader. Daria has helped herself to his larders on more than one occasion, which infuriates him to no end. The Priest Conflicted 1: On the one hand, Daria works to bring expensive, filling, tasty, and even healthy foods from those who can afford them to those who can't. On the other hand, Daria is hardly picky, and will take a pheasant from a peasant's table to satisfy her need for the poached thrill. Backgrounds: Poacher +5: Daria takes what she wants from who she wants. Whether she's sneaking animal's from private game reserves, lifting secret spices from a shelf, or even just stealing pies, she's devoted to the Poached Cooking Style. And that means poaching. Ingredient Appraisal +5: For all her lackadaisical attitude, Daria knows her cooking. No use breaking into the Three's kitchen if you can't tell the difference between the tapioca and the caviar. Daria has an encyclopedic knowledge of the best ingredients, where to get them, and how mad their owners might get afterwards. Sell the Experience +5: Of course, all this would never work if the lucky customers sat down and realized that food is food, stolen or not. Daria isn't just putting good food on the table, she's creating a thrill, that this pork is taken from the table of a Michelin noble, cooked with seasoning lifted from the Archmage's labaratory, and roasted in the fires of the Red while he slumbered. When you eat with Daria, you get more than food! pre:Daria Damsel High Elf Rogue One Unique Thing: Pioneer of the Poached Cooking style STR 10 (+0) Hit Points: (21/21) CON 12 (+1) Recoveries: 8 DEX 18 (+4) Recovery value: 1d8+1 INT 16 (+3) Armour Class: 14 WIS 8 (-1) PD: 14 MD: 13 CHA 14 (+2) Initiative: +4 Race Features Highblood Teleport Class Features Momentum Sneak Attack Trap Sense Talents Cunning Swashbuckle Thievery Feats Thievery Feat Basic Attacks Melee Attack +5 vs AC Hit: 1d8+4 Miss: 4 Ranged Attack +5 vs AC Hit: 1d4+4 damage Miss: 4 Powers Thief's Strike Roll with it Evasive Strike Flying Blade Sure Cut Equipment Grey Camo Apron (Light armor) Long handled battle skillet (1-handed 1d8) Belt of Throwing knives (Throwing 1d4) 25 gold M.c.P fucked around with this message at 11:22 on May 10, 2015 |
