[Desolation] Desolation Discussion

Claire


My mother named me Shining Clarity. She always was one for poetry and dramatics. It is a very hard name to call when you're mad, though, so I usually go by Claire.


I am a woman, and I like to wear very luxuriant clothing. People have said that my face is striking rather than beautiful, and that my eyes always seem to be laughing. I tend to use my hands to express my meaning and wielding Joyeuse all the time gives me a very toned body.


As for my outlook, I suppose you could say it's been shaped by the stories and songs I've been raised on. Stories of bold heroes and true love still ring true, even in a wasteland like the one that has been created. Despite the horrible things that go on day-to-day for survival and just because people can be (and are, most of the time) bloody psychopaths, I think people need a reminder of the beauty of bygone days to help them strive to be better. I am not naive. I do not think that a man who has raped and murdered hundreds of women will be turned around by the sound of a song, but my job is to reach those who are teetering. I will not lie, I also have been accustomed to a certain comfort level for most of my life and enjoy maintaining some expensive things. (I guess you could say she loves what she does and enjoys the physical benefits of it as well.)
 
Damn, I take my eyes off this game for a minute, I come back, and the wall's come down, Hooper's got a machete out, and we got a Skinner.


Also, I want to let you all know I came down with a fairly unpleasant virus earlier this week. It's nothing serious, but if I seem slow or if my posting is sub-par, that's why.


Welcome to the game, Roses, Claire seems like a grand edition to the band.
 
Before this is over, Koch is going to be convinced that it'd be the best thing to ride a motorcycle and pretend to be a White Knight thanks to Claire.


A White Knight with a fully automatic weapon, but still.


And feel better Skrakes! I got double whammied with a Nurgle's blessing recently myself, hope you get well quickly ^_^
 
Awesome. Claire, take a look at your sheet. Under the Hx section, there's a part that says "on your turn". Let's do what it says there. You can choose to do all or some of those things.
 
Somebody here is my friend. I would say that would have to be Graves. (If that's alright with Grey) I've been through this hold before and think he runs a good operation. +2 Hx for him!


(And unless someone wants to be in love with Claire, I can't think of a good reason for her to have one of y'all as a lover so that's it.)


Everyone else =0
 
Perfect. So, Graves knows Claire.


Okay, everyone else, tell Claire if you're acquainted with her (Hx+1) or not (Hx-1). Claire, when they tell you, write what they say next to their name on your sheet.
 
Claire


The one with the twinkling music and the shows she does? My face doesn't care for music. It doesn't impact anything. I've seen her shows and I left. My face feels things for me, I don't feel anything. (Hx+1)

I should clarify, you write Hx+1 or Hx-1 next to their name. You don't write down what fluff they write about knowing your or not.

Oh yeah, I got that. And then theres something about adding +1 or -1 to whatever number they tell me.

AH! never mind that then. But yes, I do Know Claire.

No! Frixz, you did it right. I just don't want her writing all that on her sheet. But, what you wrote stands and IS how you should do it.

Right. You have:


On the others’ turns:




  • For everyone, whatever number they tell you, give it -1 or

    +1 and write it next to the character’s name. Your choice for each.
 
[QUOTE="Effing Skrakes]I'm not sure if Ryoma and Claire should be acquainted. What do you think, Roses?

[/QUOTE]
That's a good question, honestly. They're both kind of travelers who might've gone through the same places at the same time. (Although I have a feeling they aren't going to get along.) Toss a coin, I guess. :P
 
I'd assume Koch wouldn't have known Claire beforehand. Granted she knew Graves and Hooper, so by way of association she might have run into Claire before?
 
Hooper could have been at the prison when Claire was there before maybe? Claire could be traveling around and have stayed here for a while before moving on, Koch and Ryoma coming after?


Whatever works for you guys!
 
I was pretty much thinking that Claire would be at least somewhat of a wanderer, and that's what I wastrying to imply with her and Graves being friends. Given that everyone else seems to be a certain wandering type it makes sense we wouldn't know each other well.
 
Please keep in mind, Claire has declared who she knows. It's is up to you whether or not you know Claire. It's a two way street that both parties are allowed to define.
