Name: Merryl Dawson Alias: Lady Lunargent  (This but with silver flame instead of green.) Backstory: Somewhere in mid Atlantica, there was a small religious community, The Sanctuary of Virtue. They lived secluded from the rest of the world, which they considered sinful. And in that community was a firebrand preacher, Jack Dawson, his wife Carol Dawson anddaughter, Merryl Dawson. Merryl Dawson was obedient, faithful and dilligent. She never knew much of the terrible world outside, and didn't want to get involved in its sinfulness, seeking to keep herself pure. But in her 19th year, all changed when, without any warning or reason, Merryl's started being covered in a silver flame. Lacking control over it, the fire ignited their house. Merryl made it out, as did Jack. But Carol never did. The community, Jack at its head, considered the girl possessed. And the frightened girl found herself bound and exposed to harsh rituals meant to exorcise the devil within her. When she was starved, hurt, emotionally beaten and desperate, she became aware of a presence far off. One that saw the world with all its filth, and would burn the filth away, so they who lived might live free of sin. Its name was Asemir. But it would need a guiding light to find this world. A beacon. A beacon that she would light. And so, she started a fire. The first responders found several dead, though Jack Dawson survived with heavy burns. Several of the community had left with the woman that now styled herself. Few information was given to the authorities, who the community considered sinful and part of the corrupt world. A world that Lady Lunargent now walked into, with one purpose. Lead Asemir to this world. Mundane Qualities Cult Leader [+4] Lunargent grew up within a cult, and her father was one of its leaders. Between her knowledge of manipumation, her manic devotion and the use of her powers to further impress would be followers, she usually manages to gather a flock wherever there are people who are dissatisfied with the state of the world. Survivalist [+2] The cult she grew up in kept far away from any kind of civilization, and learned to be far more self sufficient than most people in modern society. Lady Lunargent can hunt, kill and skin a quarry, than find a well covered campsite with clean water to cook it, and prepare the skin for use. Super Ability Silver Flame [+2]: Lunargent commands the silver flame, which she can summon and control. These flames can set other matter on fire, though the resulting flames are just normal fire and not within her control. Drawbacks Fanatic [-2]: Lunargent very deeply believes in her sacred mission, refuses to denounce her god and reacts with anger and often violence to those who insult her faith. Uneducated [-2]: Being raised and home schooled in an insular community did not do wonders for her education. Game Goals: Lady Lunargent's goals are to expand her cult, and start massive fires. The larger and long lasting the better. Whether Asemir is a figment of a broken mind or an actual extraplanar entity, I have deliberately left ambiguous. I want to make an inherently unstable villain, who waxes and wanes in power. As soon as she amasses enough followers, she would cause massive damage, to no real 'earthly' purpose and likely lose some as cultists get busted. She might even end up spending some time in this world's version of Arkham. Shogeton fucked around with this message at 18:41 on May 13, 2018 |

quote:Silver Flame [+2]: So this is basically just regular flame control with a color swap? The flames don’t have any special properties right? Yep, the only effect of the flame's silver colour is that those are the flames she's controlling, and could do things like 'keep burning on concrete' and 'form a perfect circle around some meddling unbelievers'. But they just burn like regular fire. Once they light something else on fire that'll just be normal fire that isn't really taking any orders from Lunargent.

I figure a good place to start is with Merryl, along with the few people that followed her from the cult she grew up in, making her way to some city in mid West Atlantica, where she's hoping to find faithful among the desperate and forlorn, get her cult set up, and starting to start some small fires here and there as she's getting used to her position.
